Oasis - Cigarettes and Alcohol (Electric Proms 2008)

[chizeys]

@Intempo41 Yes it is. Noel's gf was there too along with Mr. Brand.

[batseend]

Lol @ Noel at the beginning when Chriss messes up. He's like wtf?

[Aspinel100]

still got his swag on after all these years ;)

[manualfie112]

Liam is NOT happy about the choir and orchestra playing his gig is he?! 'this one is for the violin players'

[LGKemp]

@manualfie112 There's no orchestra, only a choir.

[unspokensoldier21]

This is for all the violin players.

[monumental1938]

great song... FROM ARGENTINA

[onfire4ever1987]

just 1:16 'nough said

[TheMamaSoul]

2:01 looks like Ian Brown :D

[Nutsymton]

Gosh Liam sounds HORRIBLE.

[WilsonPL]

You should check "standing on the edge of the noise version" (2009) his voice is better.

[NathansWatchinYou]

Like Liam G said himself "The voice is gone, but I'm still here.."

[elmomix]

when he said that?

thats really cool!

[andyda1]

@NathansWatchinYou on twitter when he said that, he meant his voice is gone because he has a sore throat, thats why he cancelled v. not because its gone shit! idiot

[elitemx101]

@NathansWatchinYou where did he say that?

[NathansWatchinYou]

@elitemx101 one of his twitter posts a while back :)

[tozza7157]

@elitemx101 it was on twitter

[JackStepek123]

@NathansWatchinYou But the voice is back now mate! :D

[davow84]

did anyone else notice noel's look behind at 0.29 when the hi-hat i slighly out of time . always the perfectionist!go ead noel

[NathansWatchinYou]

Lol

[MattAyroli]

seems perfectly normal to me...

[GKFC]

He was looking back at the drums because he was out of time and needed to slow down.

[TheKisspaul]

this one is for all the violin players

[desvio900]

it sounds so great! and fun!

yeah, it's rock and roll!

[ericoasis2010]

no começo quase erra.

seria um fato raro

[belbatron]

his voice suit the meaning of soul perfectly

[panchar85]

But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol (wich isn't a bad thing!!)

[MattAyroli]

just wish cigarette prices stopped increasin...

[Jakerendle]

MAAAAAAAAD FERRRIIITTTTT!!!!!

[stey2k]

i fuckin love this song when it comes on live, no other song by any band in history gets my adrenaline goin like this does!

[ryan2009cov]

Play that on your violin!

[frjdoasis]

fuckin class

[wompo67]

noel looks mighty pissed off at the mess up at the start, good version tho.. liam still has it for sure..

[ryan2009cov]

? What mess up ?

[wompo67]

at the start, noel is playing quicker than chris...

[ryan2009cov]

Yeah

[iantobin]

To be fair noel does go to play it way quicker than what chris was givin off lol

[Innakeuh]

It's just a liam's joke, don't worry about this. :p

Fuckin perform !

[tbbarbour]

liam is a fuckin legend!

[nobcheesy]

the drums fucked up a bit at the start

[ColinJC1992]

Love the passion Liam puts in to this performance.

[keithoyoung34]

yeah man me too,he's well up for it isnt he,fuckin cool to see.

[TheYearOfTheLight]

VIOLIN PLAYERS

[aphextwin2000]

"this one is for unemployers"?

Liam cares 'bout the crisis?

[athina2304]

lol

[terminalninja]

i thought he said violin players lol

[Geordieboy1990]

he did say it was for violin players

[flenost]

this song is about being unemplyoyed, listen to the lyrics

[terminalninja]

lol no it isnt, its about taking as much mindfucking shit as u can while ur on the doll.

[guyzie12]

hes saying this ones for the violin players i think :S

[razmus1995]

he said violin players

[JamesGoals]

Liam is a good one? He knows to play the violin?

[kingofnewgrange]

forget heaton park, slane castle on the 20th, they will burst the banks of the river boyne, cant wait

[dannyboi435]

bring on heaton park baby!!!!

[feelmefly]

thats his style though, jhon lennon does the same thing n thats who he styles himself on

[241226]

He didn't use to do that though. I don't think it's his voice, I just think he is pulling away from the mic too early. His voice is still fucking awesome and I think he just didn't finish singing the sentences, he could if he wanted to.

[mikethompson1991]

yeh he pulls away from the mic haha

[McCarthySFC]

I think with the last words in every sentence, he's not holding them for long enough. For example, when Noels singing, he holds, "You're gonna make it happen..." until it comes back around, where Liam just can't do it anymore. For certain songs, I think Noel is needed, because Liam can't do it.

[willoasis91]

hoping for better at heaton park, they nailed it at wembley

[ybot1983]

its not a piano recital and liams signing about cigarettes and alcohol you dont need to hear every syllable

[cynwafr]

heh, listen to the original one...they are playing it more and more quickly

[stey2k]

this is my favourite live song! BRING ON HEATON PARK!!!!!!!

[ireg1985]

oasis are ace end of !

[gonzo1680]

Look at my profile... I like oasis as much as most of you but liam doesn't sing anymore! He can't even finish a fucking verse! Yes the band looks and sounds great but liam can't carry a tune anymore. If noel was lead and liam was no more they would sound alot better. who's with me?

[barryboy121]

I agree but liam is mostly the heart and soul of oasis, he was there from the start, if they got rid of him oasis would be no more, same with noel, however i do believe liams voice has gotten worse of the years with "glastonbury 2004" being at its worse, however it is getting better now, I just hope its good enough for the stadium gigs this summer, Still and top band and they'll still be the best band in the world until they say otherwise ;)

[truthoutmedia]

find it more disturbing how much he is hero worshipped by the crowd to be honest, Oasis wouldnt be Oasis without Liam.

[Leslie091]

@barryboy121 I thought Liams voice was actually very good at Glastonbury 2004.. Could just be me though!

[md47bot]

nobody dude Noel said himself i owe my career to him

[YiddArmy2K8]

OMFG OASIS ARE FTW ROFLOL

[lemming123]

noel goes out of time in the intro

[quandoquando2222]

liam i love u

[DazWalker92]

oi if u dnt like liams voice then dont watch the fuckin video , otherwise jus shut the fuck up. end of !

[alty567]

AND SO SAY ALL OF US!!!

[RARB1977]

watch liams comment at 21sec, he dedicates the song to "ALL THE VIOLIN PLAYERS" and immediately after noel starts riffing the intro...PRICELESS!!!

[mrleefosho]

OK, i am getting fucking sick of people saying that Liam is losing his voice and that shit.

YOU COME AND DO BETTER THEN.

[RARB1977]

yeah. lets be real, his voice is not what it was... but the true oasis fan doesnt give a shit... like me... everytime i hear songs like this i get the urge to start kicking everything around me... i dont think ill ever get that feeling by listening to coldplay and others like them... liams voice is badass rock voice, the kind that grows hair in your ass

[alty567]

and the kind that grows hair on the palms of your hands aswell!!!!!!!!

The guys a UNIQUE LEGEND,,,,END OF!!!

[alty567]

too true!!!!!!

[konheeed]

liam is always good his voice kicks ass

[therhino1991]

his voice does sound alot more 90s live.

[aaronboi07]

i seen them 3 nights after this....class concert....MaDfErIt

[vars91]

Ya...Liam's voice doesn't sound tops here but the fact remains that when you go see them live, his voice is awesome. It's just like that and I actually think his voice now sounds good for the songs they've been playing.

[comeonfuckingcunt]

What's up with the tempo in the beginning!??

[rafaelmadferit]

Yeah I thought the same thing.

The new drummer speed up the tempo too much, in a few songs I have noticed it, he has this defect...

This song must be slower

[saifed123]

songs always are faster live, just turns out that way, i prefer it :P

[martodawg]

i love how oasis bring back to life t-rex and of course the beatles. live forever

[kmylo4]

damn!!!!! i hate to say this

but liam's voice is now really

bad i mean i'm not saying that

somebody can make better than

him but he has lost his 90's voice

Anyway OASIS 4 EVER!!!!!!!

[TazGamer]

true true but no matter if he voice sounds like a horn i will still watch and admire them !!!!

Go Oasis!!!

[desasterz]

it used to be worse...

[Thelostsoldiersinet]

See noel look at the drummer cause hes out of time with him

[fatboymombassa]

I like the slightly more ragged Liam, Adds some Grit to the songs.

[jk01273]

i forgot how much of a tune this is untill i heard it in a club the other night! love it! then again i lovem most oasis tunes!

[rapperzondernaam]

Liams scared of the mic ;)

[alty567]

like their song,,,"whatever!!!!"

[carltec]

Thanks sourbeff!!

[dancrowter]

I'm sure this will make me seem ignorant, but is there any specific reason why he dedicates it to violinists?

[TheLaughingSeal]

Was thinking cos its name of the song is 'cigerettes and alcohol' and violin players aint the exactly the most out going, and exiting people going are they? Steritypical i think lol.

[alty567]

here we go,,,the one who (thinks) they know it all,,is at it again!!!!!!

"this one's for all the violin players",,,,is said because the orchestra have a BREAK in this tune!!!!

Not because they arent outgoing or exciting!!!

[xxnonstopdancingxx]

first cos he's a funny fucker and second beacause the gig is part of the electric proms and their performance ain't exactly like going to the last night of the proms..

[alty567]

because its one of the very few choons at this gig,,,whee they DONT play!! hows that for you? hope its helped!

[nizzyg]

lol 0.27 - 0.31 seconds noel and sharrock are out of time with each other, looks back like wtf lol

[bledzhius]

yeah, Noel way too fast ;-) noticed that too, but still, they managed to act as if nothing happened.

[sourbeff]

No they werent and also look how awesome they are live youve got to be good to sound as good live as you do on a cd.

[yoreich]

they play very tightly and well but in the beginning they are out of sync but fix it quickly.

[carltec]

What did Liam say on the begining of this song?

[sourbeff]

He said this is for ALL THE VIOLIN PLAYERS LOL:)>i LUV EM

[19911995]

Liam pulls away from the microphone to soon...still top class performance as always

[JonasBinder93]

I dont understand why he do it??

He can easy sing the last part of the word, i know. Liam is a class singer, but he has to finish the words. But ye, still top class!!

[jonnytheoasisfan]

that's cool.. m8 .. I once was lead singer in the band ... I Used to do that.. and people found it cool

[Catsarecrazi99]

noel busting out the les paul nice

[serverfour]

I saw them in Belfast recently and it is satisfying to know that liam is a good honest bone fide rock n roll nutter...

[jonnytheoasisfan]

5:27-28 ;DDD Noel shouts

[bl6boltonboys]

ok i'm oasis biggest fan.

at first i wasnt keen on liams new voice.

now i fucking love it !

[danne9501]

weel im always loved Liams voice so i dont think your the biggest Oasis fan

[bl6boltonboys]

your a swede...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

bet liam dosnt even know where sweden is !?

mad fer it forever.... ! heaton park, manchester next year :) :)

[jonnytheoasisfan]

Sweden is Ok .. Its the only place Where I can see Oasis

[jonnytheoasisfan]

Liam Knows cos Andy Lived there

[danne9501]

No but i live in sweden.

[thorpefam67]

I wasnt keen on Liam's voice at first when I watched the Wembley gig but Ive grown to it and now it sounds Awesome.. Definately better than it has been for a long time and just gets better with the more gigs he does.

[lova88oasisyennilyla]

on intro, i noticed the out of step bit. Noel came in and sort of skipped half a beat

cool

[sparksy76]

as much as it pains me to say, but as a drummer, yes it was Noal who messed up. The drummer started first on hi hat, and Noal came in on the half beat instead of the first. But what a recovery, it happens to everyone. I mean shit I lossed grip of a stick once, now thats a scary moment.

[jackfender24]

in the beginning the drummer falls outta time, but ofcourse noel being the legend he is he pulls it back together

[Strummerville101]

Blimey, Liam's voice is shot!

[theboiwonder]

Man, this isn't that bad at all. I mean, he's having an off night for sure, but do you remember Wembley in 2000 on Pay-Per-View.  This is fine compared to performances like that.

[archerisgod]

i think he has 2 sing like this when they are on tour to prolong his voice, he can still 'sing' but now he has a 'tour voice' if that makes sense

[theboiwonder]

I honestly think he's just been kinda sick, I mean, it's obvious that he's not a health-conscious person, so his voice suffers for it. Still MADFERIT.

[JDKennedy1]

Its just fifteen years of screamin down a microphone and god knows how many years of smokin on top! i wouldnt call how has a love of salmon and goes running at 6 o'clock in the morning an un-health-conscious person! if that makes sence....i think acherisgod is right 2 tho his voice cant stand up to the punishment so he sings like this to preserve it best he can...i think!

[mattfifi]

lol, what you talking about, he's healthy now, getting up at 6am daily for a jog, doesn't stay out late often and sleeps before 10pm.

[AJTHETRACE08]

They sliped out of time, it werent the drummer's fault it was noel's !

[cjg11]

nice.

but im wondering why liam is singing

like victor meldrew.

other than that its class

[JNH7779]

Check out Noel's face at 29 secs when they slip out of time, blame the drummer!!!!

[ldu03113]

HAhah! Good spot. It did seem like the drummers fault though.

[oasishaun]

you,d pull away from the mic if it kept shocking you

[nworbmik]

it didn't shock him did it?

[nworbmik]

He does keep pulling away from the mic, you're right. He's too busy trying to look 'cool' and putting zero effort in to the singing. The other guys in the band sound geat, but Liam is definitely the weakest link at the moment. SORT IT OUT LIAM.

[TONYCOV881]

mate its called swagger and attitude, every top rock n roll star has to have it.

[AJTHETRACE08]

I Agree

[brenjmills22]

He sounds ok, but why does he feel the need to pull away from the mic before he finishes the words... I really wish he wouldn't do it.

[mrschips]

Liam sounds flipping awesome -thanks for this!
