Listen up - Noel Gallagher Oasis Unplugged

[Tutone66]

So are you saying that Noel did not sing lead on this song originaly?

[lionislionislion]

I wish he'd re-record this song with acoustic guitar in the studio. His singing is so much better than what it was in this time.

[ronesant]

This bird is flying higher than ever! Fly Noel, fly high!!!

[iMertin]

listen up!!!!!!

know something when am feeelin shite this man saves me everytime

[MrAnchovie15]

This must be what God listens too

[Xapple09]

I think the RUTLES WERE BETTER

[tunwilk]

Oasis B-Sides are brilliant, personally I think Whatever is one of the greatest songs ever

[Potemkyne]

@tunwilk Wathever ain't a B-side, it's the A-side of a stand-alone single that went out between Definitely Maybe and (What's The Story) Morning Glory, in 1994, with (It's Good) To Be Free as a B-side. :)

[Xarly3992]

Talk tonight is OUTSTANDING!

[mrbrockpeters]

Noel is truly talented. Shame on Liam for ditching his bro at an important gig but it's challenges like this that bring out the best in a person and Noel totally proved himself at this gig!

[skidmarks000]

seen the rehearsals for Liam Gallagher doing this, and although Noel Gallagher done a great job, would loved to have seen Liams take coz lets be honest, it was his fucking duty to do this, shame is, he wouldnt be as vocally capbable these days listening to his vocals now and Mtv Unplugged rehearsals then, shame as he could have gave Kurt Cobain a run for his money as one the best if not the best Mtv Unplugged performance I and most folk have heard.

J.Surrock. Edinburgh.

[chizeys]

What I love about Noel's song writing is that his songs stand the test of time. His B-Sides not even talking about his singles or albums... his B-Sides are ridiculously so much better than the shit we have out today. This isn't his biggest hit and it beats most songs out today. Just proves that these songs don't have a time on their life and shows what a true Genius and amazing songwriter he is. Noel Gallagher = God.

[rejectyourself]

I don't believe in magic

Life is automatic

But I don't mind be on my own

Said that I don't mind be on my own...-----> One of the best Noel verses.... Happy Birthday Hero!!

[61362131665]

stupid dude who added the mass at the end

[tommymarines1]

Oasis = mediocrity.

[friginnutz]

the original and best oasis line up,,everybody should have this copy sent through the letterbox to inspire them

[speedballink00]

"I don't mind being on my own"...Noel absolutely killed it at this gig.

[Zagara2007]

liam hubiera cantado seria un gran unplugged sin desmeritar a liam pero con liam hubiera sido epico

[adrob28]

alan white is the best oasis drummer they have ever had!! he was awesome could do everything perfectly, acoustic, rock, loud, quiet!! legend

[stuartmcfly]

This one moment sums up everything Oasis were, and always would be.

Perfection. Noel.

[SiletteDK70]

Best version of this song 

[ericbasia]

Listen at 1:03, Damn

[beerok23]

@ericbasia What? :)

[maravillamdq2]

THIS GUY IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ARTISTS EVER! HE IS SO UNDERRATED!

[shanlepm1]

"I don't believe in magic, Life is automatic" classic

[slideawayLIAM09]

thats my top three oasis tunes- listen up, slide away,morning glory

[lucaoasis89]

silence...god at work

[19TravisBickle87]

The most overrated "rock" band of all the time

[xrcraig]

@19TravisBickle87 yeah alright mate

[mxpx439]

@19TravisBickle87 your a fuckwit mate. OASIS = FUCKING CLASS

[BrotherHoodUtd]

That was 14 years ago and people are still watching it going,

"God... best band ever!"

Best Damn Band!

[scthekid]

@BrotherHoodUtd - Because it's true. Name one band since them that have been even close to how good they were and have made an impact like they did? Cock.

[miamad]

@BrotherHoodUtd You need to up your meds

[JABATE]

The Chief

[77gazw]

thank god liam pulled out of this gig noel more suited to acoustic songs and this gig was class

[noiel]

Noel Gallagher = Best songwriter of the '90

[TheLmorris2010]

@noiel Debatably the best of all time ? 

[Atarigeek]

My favourite Oasis song. They/ Noel write B sides better than most bands can write singles

[beerok23]

@Atarigeek You're soooooo right. The different thing between Oasis and other bands is this one: Noel wrote these b-sides which were AMAZING. Think about "The Masterplan", which is probably one of their best songs, or "Talk tonight"...Well they were great!

[oiergasdn]

@Atarigeek it's my fav song too! This one was one of the better songs of oasis ever created. The recored version is awesome. But i prefer the acoustic version from 2005-2010 it's just awesome, with Gem by his side!

[03111993mwb]

This performance changed my life

[inbloombandofficial]

2 Fuckn words: "Man Genious".

[amthe14U2NV]

"One fine day, i`m gonna leave you all behind." he certainly left everyone in the music industry behind. still a massive inspiration to me to this day. hes using the guitar i use now in this vid also. sweet

[DoomsdayDevice9mm]

*Bows before Noel*

I actually love how simple he makes his chord paterns look. I'd call myself a pretty competent chord guitarist but i was struggling to follow along with him at one point. ........I'll be back.......

[diablitoruiz]

this song in the unplugged was after and before .... what song?

[helterskelter1980]

I believe it was played between Live Forever and The Masterplan. Whatever was also played (between Cast No Shadow and Wonderwall) but wasn't aired either.

[nickgreen105]

Thanks for adding this. Absolutely love it.

[oce1989]

What a fucking genius this man is.

Such an inspiration to me, a true hero!

[brixio87]

amazing

[gottagetawayh3d]

by oden's beard its good andsd i'm schwasteeeeed

[asfhaltarmss]

Noel vivirá por siempre

[tobesome1]

loafpork u obviosly cant appreciate real music so what were you doing listening in the first place u donkey. this is awsome

[DUMBARTON1RANGERS0]

Found the actual aired Unplugged show from the videotape I talked about earlier. It was a first airing on BBC in late 1997. I used to make videotapes of all sorts of programmes around the mid to late 90s.

[DUMBARTON1RANGERS0]

Oasis are a good entertaining band who stick to basics. The "we're the best band in the world" lark is just to wind up the media. They know/knew they're not the best.

[shadowpuppet89]

fuck off they was the best and biggest band in the world 95 to 98 playing knebworth and be here now selling shit loads, and up to they split they was still the best band in the world to me and a lot of people , thats why they can just sell out massive stadiums so easily

[DUMBARTON1RANGERS0]

Selling out stadiums and albums by the "shitloads" does not make them the best band in the world. It just means that they have a following.

[loafpork]

I've tried and tried, I just don't get what all the fuss is about this band. I hear something that just kind of lays there, there's nothing all that interesting. Same predictable chord structures, I don't think I could tell the difference between something like this and a Matchbox 20 song. Boring ass shit.

[roycethechief]

i think you are an outlier

[loafpork]

Could be a reason for that..... What do you think? The majority have been fed mediocrity for so long, it's no wonder it still tastes good to them. This band is about as bland as it gets.

[roycethechief]

but you know you dont really have to mind this one if it doesnt appeal to you. enjoy it if you like it. dont waste your time on it if you dont. life is simple. peace.

[loafpork]

You're right, actually I find their fans more annoying than the band themselves, and that's saying a lot considering how baselessly arrogant they are. Listening to these guy's interviews is kind of like listening to a real ugly fat girl go on about how pretty they are. Must be nice to be so deluded. Selling a bunch of records doesn't mean you're a genius, it just means you're palatable to large groups. Michael Bolton did that to.

[Bigdave23109]

Oasis are huge not because they are the most talented etc. or because the appeal to teenage/young girls(Michael Bolton !) But because their music is " A million miles from fakery, and only a step away from your heart " They appeal to the man on the street who can identify with the songs and associate them with their own experience. And remember, there is a massive difference between arrogance and (deserved) self belief.

[loafpork]

Na, they fucking suck, totally mediocre. People seem to enjoy elevating boring garbage like Oasis because it doesn't challenge the listener. It's the same reason crap like Celine Dion goes multi platinum.

[bukeye1981]

So what DOES challenge the listener?

[loafpork]

Music that is alive, not dead like this band.

Cardiacs

Mr. Bungle

Danny Elfman

Holst

Debussy

Devo

Muse

Pink Floyd

I could go on all day, but even on a good day Oasis is just a bad Beatles knock off. I can't believe people still talk about them.

[bukeye1981]

Well If you want to be challenged go do it mate. But I personally just want to hear a good band. Oasis is it. You dont have to like them. But they are most certainly not dead. And so what if they are easy to listen to? The fucking Beatles are easy to listen to as well. Does that mean they suck too? No "difficulty " of listening means nothing about "quality" of band. You could have a very simple song that is {simply} fantastic.

[loafpork]

The Beatles had interesting chord structures, melody and colorful lyrics. Sure they're easy to listen to, but they're also interesting. Oasis just shits out the same boring chords over and over. They're not horrible, they're just mediocre, which I think is actually worse.

When I say challenging, I mean music that stirs you emotionally and mentally because it moves in directions you wouldn't expect. With Oasis you just know what's coming in the chorus or the next chord.... Nothing.

[bukeye1981]

Well Then i think it would be in the eye of the beholder, because what stirs YOU emotionaly may be something completley different for me. yea I know they are a pop band in my opinion I think their hooks and chord structures are actually interesting i mean i find it interesting. Its better then generic bands like Panic at the disco green day or other pop bands like that. thats all im going to say because arguing on youtube is stupid. Unless you're arguing about whether rap sucks or not (it does)

[loafpork]

Predictable may be a better word to describe them. I like a lot of pop, but pop with good hooks, somehow oasis has no clue as to how to do that.

And don't try to tell me they're not a pop band.

[Bigdave23109]

Ok then, as Noel once said, "Lets hear one of your songs then" You come up with something that challenges me. Then we will discuss your right to give definitive judgements on oasis. x

[09mrPNJ]

what a knob you are. obviously you know fuck all about music.

[loafpork]

"fuck all" sounds good, thanks, Mate.

[89cheapmonday]

he's an American..so what do you expect!?

he comes on to an asis vid just to give shit? needs to get a fucking life. one look at his profile shows he's into things like UFOs which just proves he's some sad lonely cunt...

and he's 35 for fucks sake! ! !

[09mrPNJ]

tops cheers mate.

[09mrPNJ]

i wish you could buy this in full. everytime i tape it of the bbc or mtv it's not the full gig and that does my head in.

[70sMusicFanatic]

In my opinion, the horns make the song sound cheesy. Somehow, the soul of it doesn't come through. I think the better acoustic version is the one with Noel and Gem in Paris, no horns, keyboards, etc. Just guitars and drums.

[wrecsamkills]

liam didnt play because he had a fight wit noel on the bus and in some of the you can hear liam shouting to noel

[Sedeete]

"One fine day

I'm gonna leave you all behind"

And so he did :(

[spk13066]

so funny looking at all these stupid irish talkin about the worst band

[biglimey]

Fuck you

[MarcelaLSD]

Muito bom!!

[ArcherBellGallagher]

Listen up is probably the most underated song of Oasis, but it's absolutely, completely, musically sound.

[goldyn12345]

you are right, its a great tune!!! the violins sound great with this, richard ashcroft would have been proud of this song lol

[dsimon129]

Liam and Noel got into a fight before the show and Liam refused to perform. Leaving Noel to do it alone. That's why he's sitting up in the balcony.

[oasis93madferit]

right let me get one thing straight, noel is the better singer, liam has the better voice, admittedly he sounds abit different when he sings old songs but he still sounds good in my opinion but you get a song like 'aint got nothing' n put his voice from the 90's on it it would'nt sound as good .. he is the fuckin bollox man

[awilkied]

OMG i never knew they played this on mtv unplugged!!! Why was this not shown??

[chucklebug13]

noel actually twittered the lyrics to this a while back...

good to know he hasn't forgotten about it :)

[bustafool1]

would love to have seen liam sing this unplugged, noel did a great job though

[Lilburne]

liam aint past it at all, not bein funny, but if liam noel was the betta singer, he aint the type of person to let liam do lead!! noel does the sofrt songs, but the rest is liam, best front man in the world, he aint past it, seen um at heaten park, still soundin amazin!!

[oasismonkeyslfc]

seeing as noel is the backing vocalist 90% of the time for Oasis, he definitely has a better voice than most bands lead singers

[mckyle9]

noel is king... liams a bit past it im afraid

[hipyaboyya]

definetely not, at slane liam was the star of the show, his voice is back and is fantastic

[modsoulbrother]

The reason why he sid he was dying was because Liam pulled out last minute leaving it all down to noel and noel was a bit un prepared..

[jcrawley1]

I've heard Noel say that he was 'dying' on stage during this gig. Well, he seems to be doing alright here!

[Alkhir69]

Why was he dying? What did he meant by that?

[jcrawley1]

Dying purely in a theatrical sense. As in the show was going badly.

[hursti46]

When noel sings a song its like a fresh breath to oasis, 4th June was amazing thanks lads x

[andresihotang]

Noel hardly sang this tune here. His voice sometimes uncontrolled. The version of Paris show 2006 was more beautiful than this. This was not acoustic show, this was MTV unplugged. And this version is FAST!

Btw, Oasis is an rock'n roll band. And Liam deserve the frontman position. Hey people, rock'n roll band not only talk 'bout vocal (Yes, Noel has greater vocal than Liam), but many thing could be talked about a great frontman. Liam has it all (charisma, center of attraction, blocking,attitude)

[DJMikeyJ]

Listen up - Noel Gallagher Oasis Unplugged - " UP NORTH SOON, WINK ;0) "

[alonzosilva]

cloudburst!!!

[FookinLiam]

luv that song

[jcrawley1]

It speaks volumes for just how good Noel was in the early days that he wrote B-sides that were far better than most bands hit singles!

This

Acquiesce

The Masterplan

Rockin' Chair

It's Good To Be Free

Stay Young

Half The World Away

[calvinhealy]

dont forget stuff like going nowhere and round are way...awesome stuff mate.

[jcrawley1]

Take Me Away

Forgot that one!

[FishyFishy22222]

full on

boy with the blues

[galoffio]

Noel is however great but the Liam version is better

[livlivinha]

This song reminds me of lovely things in my life... great time when I was only 12 and was totally crazy about them...

Still am, but it's different...

=D

[DotsyOO7]

shut the fuck up if ye dont like oasis fuck of cunts.

[triunp]

03:13 peaceful

[oce1989]

Shouldve been on an album, shouldve been a single.

Either way, it's gonna live forever.

[hohner27]

it was on the masterplan, the masterplan is a complitation of b-sides.

[Sweenburger]

babscabs 1987... "one of the best" doesnt do it justice. Its the best in my opinion. Both acoustic and the album version are total classics

[babscabs1987]

this i think is one of the best oasis tunes.

[Thelostsoldiersinet]

when i watched this on MTV

the cutt this song off

[triunp]

and "whatever"...

[Lbuzzard]

this video proves one thing....

THAT SHIRT IS THE REAL FRONT man

[briannicola]

oasis are the best band ever!

[koeniglacool]

thats a nice shirt where do you think he got it?

[gringo5555]

This is really, really good. First rate, but then Oasis does rock!!

[discothequelp]

noel is the leader of the band. liam is the lead singer. noel has a great voice, but liam's has more character, conviction, and attitude, all of which only get stronger as his voice (unfortunately) gets worse.

[goldyn12345]

underated song?

[lilsolis]

This performance was meant as a coming out party for Noel because he showed everybody that he, in reality, is the front man of this band. He is one of the best. Sorry for the ego check Liam...

[afromanjack]

yeh cos liam cares what you think..

[T0nn3r]

yeh and he also goes on youtube to see what people have put about him, makes me laugh when people think that the artist themself has put them up and are like "whoah that was awesome guys!!!111!!! will you be my R/L friend?!?!?"

[afromanjack]

lol

[lilsolis]

hey if you think that anyone cares what you guys think you guys are kiddling yourselves...

[afromanjack]

hu the fuck are you talking to? tonn3r cared what i thought cos he replied to me, and i cared we thought cos i replied to him in agreement. hu the fuck r u to do with it u saucy cunt?

[rapidcombo]

lol the question is "hu" the fuck do u think u are u tit hahaha

[afromanjack]

different fuckin phrase mate

[rockiecakes]

i fucking love noel so much

[koeniglacool]

what shirt is noel wearing?

[1690rfc1690]

why does tht matter the mans a genuis

[Wonderwall83]

just perfect!

...for the thoughts that you think and the words they won't let you say....

BRILLIANT!!!!!

[JayJaySoul]

day by day theres a man in a suit who'se gona make you pay.

the line of the century.

true to his word.

give me some money lord :(

[dih1979]

i second that,what a fukin song and a fuckin legend

[bentheled]

no disrespect to noel but i wished liam would have been able to do this show,it would have been 1 of the best mtv unplugged shows ever OasisForever

[KalisBacardi]

no disrespect to you, but noel as an author of all the songs sounds better when he sings them, he feels it and it just sounds more natural and human..I'm not saying liam is bad singer, i love the way he sings but noel feels the songs, that's the difference

[bentheled]

If noels sounds better singing the songs why bother having liam in the band at all??? If their was no liam there would be no oasis and the same goes with noel.Like most oasis fans at the time i was gutted when liam could'nt do the show,if you prefer noel fair enough.

[rapidcombo]

you're wrong, i agree liam is a better front man but noels whole perfomance at unplugged was just magic, if liam decided to do this gig then we would of missed all of this.

[Ramman69dog]

as good as anything oasis have released

is it the best B-side ever yes dont argue or i will drink your childrens blood

[GladiusP]

Best? Maybe... Never fought bout "Masterplan" ?

[H8USARCHER]

Round are way is much better...don't got children...that i know of lol

[Ramman69dog]

yeah i like round are way a lot to but this version of listen up is a great bit of music

[flenost]

219970 what do you mean with meaningless, it's up to the people who can relative to this song .. i think this lyrics are fine as hell!

[ewoodyg]

quality from Noel again, i actually like his voice more for the slower accoustic stuff, but yea can't argue with the power of Liams from the original big rock numbers. Cant wait for Slane!

[AlejandroPenaPizana]

I don't know about you guys, but I prefer Noel's. Cause Liam's version of this song is not really good and this guy sings much, much better. I just love this song, Cheers!

-A-

[633634]

yeah i totally agree with you. sarah

[saraj12]

noel is a fucking legend

[GarageRock87]

the masterplanrecord (b-sites-record) is fucking great. most of the bands don´t have songs that are that great on their regular records.

[DEADETECTIVE]

Isn't he always out all night drinking? Where else would he be?

[Mozzarizzle]

He said he had a sore throat,but later told the band he didn't want to take part in an unplugged session cos they were a 'rock n roll band'.Personally i think he didn't want to be in the spotlight.He'd been drinkin heavily and knew he'd sound like shit being that unplugged gigs are very vocal orientated.

[SpasticIBS]

noel is a much better singer than liam

[jordh17]

oasis do not make rubbsih songs.

they are all muscial geniuses.

but i think the less known songs are better.

like take me away and round are way.

noel sings fucking awesome.

raise a campaign for noel to be king;)

[emilyrl]

I'll vote Noel Gallagher king of the universe any day!!!

[219970]

this is pretty derivative of supersonic and the lyrics are utterly meaningless and immaturely juvenile, but I used to love this song when I was about 17

[JayJaySoul]

utterly meaningless? you need to listen more to the song. they mean alot.

to me anyway..

[whereswally91]

this is just nuts.... put your hands up if you agree..... nuts and stuff

[francithestrange]

I love this song....Amazing,very very amazing!!!! Forever Oasis, only Oasis!!!!

[TobyEllisSongwriter]

My favourite oasis song, up there with fade away, little by little, talk tonight, cast no shadow, some might say...

Cheers for the upload!

[List3nUpp]

as noel says, quote-unquote " ' im the better singer, liam's got the voice'

[borwick007]

Noel calls the shots. Liam wasn't ill (probably). Noel knew this was the perfect platform to showcase HIS songs. the band would'nt be the same without liam tho. best band in the world by a mile. U2 ar good but not as good.

[ffmcracdcftw]

He faked sick because he hated doing acoustic gigs.

[redsox19844891]

Liam was out all night drinking

[christophe2511]

second best songwriter off all time; after Lennon - Mccartney of course

[mikmikals]

The boy's a genius.

This song is a b-side????

Beautiful.

ENDOF.

[54spiritedwill54]

Noel is good singer and Liam's voice...is beautiful!

[tappapappasbyxor]

Absolutely amazing.

[xMikay]

Tremendous song

[goldyn12345]

underated song

[dashanova]

Lol chill, we all have different tastes, some worse than others!

[DUMDUM2007]

noel galalgher doesn't have little talent you jealous prick!

He's written some great songs and is a very talented songwriter sooo what the hell are you on about dashanova?

[dashanova]

He looks like such a nerdy geeky fanny lol! Are you all gay?

[dashanova]

hahahaha! What a fuckin fanny! Id have been in the crowd mocking the silly bastard as well. It never fails to amaze me how little talent people need to get a bunch of idiots to like them.

[tombone3]

erm yes your still the SAD CUNT WATCHIN OASIS VIDEOS HAHA....

[dave91uk]

when you can write songs like dont look back in anger or live forever, then you can argue his talent.... grow up and realise he's the best songwriter of our generation

[pipo1234567890]

Noel is all!

[ashes1one]

I think it would have been weird if Liam sang that night. Noel's voice suits the acoustic set so much better IMO. However Noel is great on the originals

[venn321]

Noel is Oasis......and i always have thought he had a better voice than liam
