  • Best tune on a rather bloated lp...all around the world is waaaaay to long...don't go away a generic ballad....first track is mega ...

  • FUKIN AWESOME

  • Great tune on a pretty good album. I think a lot of people were disappointed with it because it was the first Oasis record that wasn't loaded with 5 star songs. Magic Pie and My Big Mouth are not Noel's best work by a long shot, and even the record's best songs just werent as good as WTSMG. Still a good album though.

  • TUNE

  • I fucking love Be here now i think its their second best album just lose to WTSMG

  • @pedrohmfr This album is better than WTSMG for me :)

  • @knpvcro dont blame you :)

  • It's not getting better for 7 people...

  • Love this album. But the critics and even Liam wasn't happy.

    Guess the song durations running over 4minutes was the minus point. If there is one song (e.g. Champagne Supernova or November Rain) ya it's ok to have a super-long finale like that. COs fans will want to hear the same song structure during performances/concerts - and playing/singing the full 8 min songs which they don't or modified, takes the fun and memory from the original album.

  • @denzuke8250 liam liked the album its noel that didnt

  • OASiS 4EVeR, chEErs! x0]

  • Build something.. Build a Better Place and Call it Home!

  • I remember this video made me start playing guitar...

  • great. even though the words they sing aren't true ... it's definately not gettin any better than this :)

    don't get the whining about be here now. it's an awesome record.

  • still have that bbc documentary on a tape somewhere

    and i really love this version of the song

    having said that,be here now is probably my fave oasis record

    noel says a lot of stuff..i'm sure he actually loves it

  • Silly hats man!

  • Sounds way better than on the album it feels way more rock n Roll with the lessened reverb of the guitar. Plus it is more enjoyable because of its shortened time as it does not drag so much like it does on the album. I wish that Noel had this tone for more of his Rock songs.

  • Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Guigsy and Whitey. Oasis at his best.

  • Brilliant live performance...

  • Sounds better here than it does on the album.

  • @stickypool to sound better than "be here now" is not difficult ;)

  • @TobiasR84 Really is not difficult? Oh come on, do a fucking album and let's see if you can beat this masterpiece

  • @elXado i just wanted to say that i prefer the live versions of the 'be here now' songs over the album versions because the mix of the record sucks. songs are waaay too long, up to 30 tracks of guitar overdubbed in just one song, etc.

  • @TobiasR84

    really?

    do you know what i mean, was a deadly song

  • @dmorris105 i like most of the songs from "be here now" actually, but the mix of the record is god-awful in my opinion. noel was a megalomaniac cokehead back in 1997, and i think he tried to create some kind of phil spector-like "wall of sound" mix or something which was much much over the top. years later even noel admitted that he isn't too proud of the record.

  • @TobiasR84

    actually he said in 2009 when asked if dig out your soul could be compared to be here now he said "no d.o.y.s. was better because be here now was too long and had to much guitar parts in each song but liam loves that album"

  • Best guitar solo ever.

  • 3:10 .. ♪♫

  • Never saw Noel with that guitar .. what model is it ??

  • @cyyytr0n It's a Les Paul but semi-hollow...I think it's an ES. Good lucking trying to find it, rare as hell.

  • @FreezerBurn1704 yeah, just its look seems to indicate that it's a rare model xD

  • @cyyytr0n i think it's a custom gibson les paul florentine, But I could be wrong.

  • @cyyytr0n ............it was limited run called a Les Paul Florentine.....semi hollow with f-holes. It's not from the ES series. The ES-336 was basically a slightly smaller ES-335....this has all the same specs a s a Les paul except it semi solid

  • All parties should end with this one.

  • Its getting better man, when I hear it and hear it more

  • SO BRITISH !!!! VERY CHIC !!!!

  • I have always loved this tune

  • Looove IT !!!!

  • Oasis dedicated this song TO ME in Seattle about ten or so years ago...."This next one is for you down in front with the banner, stop crying, it's gonna be alright" Maybe I should REMEMBER that!!

    I think it is pretty ironic that they dedicated THIS song to me....of ALL the ones they have written. Maybe it was a sign....no??

  • @Luna48061 i would take that as a sign

  • Why Noel hates this album??

  • @Boss10jqka he thought it was overblown and bloated and he hates some of the songs on it

  • @Boss10jqka Search: "liveforever the rise and fall of britpop" ...and you'll see

  • fkng hell i miss oasis sooo much,,there aint nothing out there,,ppplllease come back and give us some proper music,,instead of the crap were being spoon fed

  • They'd never been this gorgeous!! My fav vid

  • fucking thunderbirds are go

  • @cutandpaste1 shut up you cunt

  • Rock....Awesomeness!

  • They should have realised a live album from this tour!!!!!!!!!

  • QUALITY

  • @cutandpaste1 whatever but you are still gay

  • @cutandpaste1 dumb comment, gay owner

  • I dont understand why the critics dont like this one...top notch

  • be here now best album period.

  • That tamberine just gets me going at around 1.50. liam is the worlds best at it.

  • it's not getting better for 4 people

  • Stupid hats!!

  • @noelgod Shut up you mug, you need one of them hats to cover up your ugly face!! Prick!!

  • This guys know how to play guitar

  • I said yeahhhhhh!!!!!

  • It's weird seeing the Gallaghers dressed as 1917 Bolshevik revolutionaries! 

  • @chbath1 You killed me! :D

  • Comment removed

  • i wish i could go back to 97 playing goldeneye on the n46 and and staying out all day in the summer i miss those days :(

  • noel gallagher is one of the best musicians ever.

    liam is a moron who cant do anything

    but hes probably the best singer in the last 30 years.

  • @ip188888 you've just answered yourself...liam is a moron who cant do anything but yet hes the best singer of the last 30 years? :S hes the best singer and frontman of this generation

  • @oasisfanmatt was thinking the same thing. never noticed that!!

  • what a fuckin performance, nice one.

  • beautiful!!!! thank u 4 sharing!!!

  • Saw them live in Birmingham a couple of years back. Noel and Liam didnt speak to each other al the way through. But the music was still top notch.

  • Absolute fucking quality. Best band ever

  • love oasis in algeria and in england in manchester

  • @zeralda100 Yes Man, Algeria loves Oasis ;)

  • Que banda Oasis.. por dios..!! saludos desde Paraguay..!!

  • Love this album...and this tune. Takes me back to 97.

  • how come they r wearing those hats? haha

  • @oasisfanmatt Because they are obsessed with Lennon. That would be my guess.

  • @oasisfanmatt Paying tribute to the Mario brothers.

  • TUNE!!!!

  • Now, this is music!!!!!!!!!!!, those were the days!!!!!! One of their best songs, even if Noel says this was a bad album, i think Be Here Now is a great album, specially this song, i´m glad i grew up listen to Oasis.....THIS IS MUSIC MANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! As bentheled said, i´m sorry for today kids

  • ya gotta love whitey and his faces lol

  • una delle mie favorite oasis li ho nel cuore...MAGNIFICI!

  • I was so lucky to grow up in the 90's.Feel sorry for todays kids, all that N dubz shite lol

  • @bentheled Very correct! These 00s kids are choking on hip hop and bubblegum rock, which neither have character nor true attitude or quality. It's like popping on a cheap drug and thinkin that's the best there is.

    90s and 70s truly rocked!

  • I agree!

  • @bentheled dood you know it makes sense!! I loved the 90's!

  • @bentheled Growing up in the 60s / 70s was even better...trust me.

  • @bentheled There's still good music, you just have to know where to look.

  • @bentheled thanks man glad to know we have sympathisers

  • @bentheled Don't be sorry, I'm still in my teens and I listen to oasis everyday of my life. It's definitely a hell of alot better than that rap shit. At least I will be raised listening to good and real music!

  • Go bonehead kill the fucking guitar!

  • THE BEST

  • I love the 'oh oh ohhh' before 'it's gettin' better, man!

  • 0.20 haha

  • Lian kinda looks like Ernest from the "Ernest goes to ..."  movies, in this video haha

  • Build something build a better place and call it home

    Even if means nothing you´ll never-ever feel that you´re alone

  • This is one damn EPIC song and one damn EPIC performance of it. Well done Oasis!

  • Love Oasis! and Liam looks great in this clip!

  • This is a really good song.

  • This is how they should have recorded it for Be Here Now. Love this live version!

  • @vinchenzo19 couldnt of said it better

    Be here now had such potential..most of the songs anyway

    with better production= a good album

  • best off tha album:-D

  • these were the fuckin days! 1997! i was 6! united were champions! cantona was my hero! hadnt a clue about music! wish i cuda been old enough to appreciate the best band ever in their prime! :)

  • Magnificent!!! This song always lifts my spirit and reminds me to keep thinking positive. Great band and great message. Plus they know how to party. Stay young and invincible!

  • Optimism

  • Ferociious.... ohh.. i'm old!!!!!!!!!

  • Dude, Gaga couldn't have come from the fucking UK. The best bands in the world came out of there, and now what the fuck do we got ?

  • i miss 1997, please Oasis comeback

  • The 3rd best album by Oasis sh%ts on every album nowadays !

  • Don't let drugs influence the way you dress...unless you're either Liam or Noel

  • Amazing performance. Boneheads barre chords.

  • amazing voice!

  • fucking right man......oasis!!!!!

    this bring me back... i

    love the 90s..

  • Right, so now I stated example from my fight with UnleashedHunter

    Difference is I'm actually a real fan oppose to these mindless sheeps

  • best part is noel wearing a hat, he hates hats according to himself

  • I know that there are many of great drummers out there, but I just think that alan white is an amazing one along with steve gadds, they can really feel the music.

  • This is a very underrated song. The chorus is fucking amazing!

  • great song

  • the good times

  • H A M M E R ! Eines der besten Videos die ich hier JEMALS gesehen habe!!!!

  • haha dig the clobber, mad coke days

  • Liams voice is great in this! the snarl is there but not the growl it is today!! this album is a wall of noise and i love it! people can say what they want about this album! it takes me back to 97 and the good times i had!! bring back 97, ocs, oasis, manics, super furries, etc etc.....

  • @Garethfeb16

    Great comment, dude! I agree with every word....

  • @trenhcoat

    A fellow 90's man!!! one play of this and it's 97 again! oh the fun lol....

  • @Garethfeb16 agree, the album was before its time, I mean it wasnt what people were expecting after whats the story, I remember expecting more acoustic tracks and mellow Champ Supernova style songs, I liked Be Here Now but didnt love it.

    A few years later I adored it and its one of my fav's.

  • This is a thousand times better than anything after 2000. Quality voice, rock and roll hook, just perfect. Good memories..........

  • I agree

  • Uuuuhhhhh Kings of Leon? Uuuuhhhhh Them Crooked Vultures?

  • Its ok, I meant anything Oasis have done! Wasn't insulting music in general after 2000!!

  • Oh sorry mate my mistake then.

  • @markwinfield

    But you WERE insulting Oasis. And I'm fed up with so called fans going around and accusing this band for being shit after a certain point in time. So what, everything after Be Here Now is utter meaningless crap?? Some fan you are.

    This album is alright but Noel was stoned writing it and it hasn't exactly got very brilliant lyrics. The only reason you overrate it is because it was released 1997.

    Sometimes it feels I want to strangle the so called Oasis fans.

  • Alright markwinfield sent me a couple of messages instead of replying. He wrote, for ex:

    "i just feel that after 2000 it became a bit too formulaic and cliche'd. i still enjoy the later stuff, but for me it just doesn't have the spark, or indeed the vocal range"

    He's trying to say Oasis are discarded old drunks that lost their touch.

  • I then said the lyrics to the later songs have been better cuz songs like those on Be here now where inspired by drugs are not as good. What does he reply?

    "Seriously, if I wanted to hear decent lyrics I would listen to someone like Rufus Wainwright or say Crowded House. The lyrics have always been average!"

    He don't give a shit about the songs anyway.

  • markwinfield:

    " I genuinely idolised them, and without doubt they influence my songwriting myself"

    He means writing songs with average lyrics and cliche' formulaic chords, but I bet this bitch doesn't have talent. Thumbs up for fans like this! Man they sure got good music taste - the only reason they listen to Oasis is because everyone else did in the 90's - otherwise they prefer completely different type of music - and fans like this are the ones who know better than me ya?

  • @MoonwalkerWorshiper

    You sir............are being a tw*t. I'm entitled to my opinion the same as anyone else. I love Oasis, I just prefer the older stuff, get over it you tool.

  • @markwinfield

    No you've expressed your lack of respect, how you are a bandwagon fan that thinks a no-brainer like this tune right here is " a 1000 times better than anything after 2000"

    Are you aware you are insulting the fuck out of all the members of Oasis and their new stuff which they believe in?

    And dude, "the lyrics are always average" like again, did you know songs like Live Forever and Cigs & Alcohol actually MEANT something to people?! You're the twat I think that's pretty clear

  • @markwinfield

    Hmmm somebody comes on an Oasis board and slags off the band in a way that is not constructive - you're gonna get fried by somebody who actually IS a fan. You're a hypocritical wanker.

    Right so their new stuff is cliche' right that explains why they tour with tunes like Importance of Being Idle around the world, people sing out their hearts to the new tunes on sold out gigs and those songs hits nr1 as always and the fanbase just increase because of it

  • @MoonwalkerWorshiper

    Bonkers! This is not an Oasis board you cock end. Its a video, that many people on here have enjoyed a great deal, myself included. Let people pass comment and 'DISCUSS' Oasis without the worry of castigation by some jumped up, clearly mental, arsehole.

  • @markwinfield

    Ya, and so if we look at the comments here, who's talking about Oasis and argue for their songs and defend them against traitor-fans, and who is the one posting comments where he whines "it's a video"?

    Obviously you're not gonna realize it's wrong to talk shit on Oasis cuz you think that is somehow a good thing to do. I bet you're gonna call Liam a Lennon-wannabe next, I'm just waiting for it

  • @MoonwalkerWorshiper

    Oh dear!

  • @markwinfield

    Oh dear - another brilliant statement from this braindead jackass.

    You're clearly showing your brain activity here with such well-thoughted rebutal. Goes to show why you reason the way you do about Oasis anyway. I don't give a fuck about you as a person, I'm really pissed of all these phoney fans and you are clearly one of them you sad fuck

    So,am I the only person who thinks Oasis is the best band in the world? If that were true, their reputation that fans spread are really weird

  • @MoonwalkerWorship

    I now completely understand the elevated suicide levels in Sweden........I would if I lived near you!

  • @markwinfield maybe that's cuz I like songs like Live Forever? Or you, again, show that you don't know fuck all what you open your mouth about? Oh ya you want it to be personal and for me to direct the attention to you personally. You're just some random ignorant tosspot who should, talking about death, go play blindfolded in traffic, it would do Oasis a huge favor to begin with

  • @MoonwalkerWorshiper I agree with moonwalker. And (markwinfield), if you were a true fan, you'd appreciate everything they've done. Thats the definition of a true fan. Just saying. Cheers.

  • @MRzeppelin12 THANK YOU!

    I should just calm myself down a few notch

  • @MoonwalkerWorshiper dont know which gigs uve been 2 but the ones i go 2 the fans sing 2 everysong obviously a bit more 2 older stuff but i think heathen chemistry dont believe the truth and dig out ur soul are all mega albums i wish people wud stop harking back 2 1st 2 albums there classics but so are all there albums if ur a real oasis fans u wud love them all personally i like there bsides best

  • @andrew406

    People sing pretty loud to Lyla and the new singles but for the sake of it let's just say the setlist on the gigs are decided by Noel so if they have more older tunes it's because Noel wants it, other than that I agree nice to hear from real fans once in a while! Some tunes are arguably not their very best, tunes like Shakermaker and Hey Now! aren't played and you got a few classics that are starting to become a little worned out BECAUSE the new tunes aren't played enough

  • @andrew406 Yeah, that's true. I mean the first albums are fucking great but the other albums are also great. Everything about Oasis is great, every b-side, every album. EVERYTHING

  • @markwinfield totally agree!

  • @markwinfield

    definitely agree (man!!)

  • @markwinfield Damn right mate.  Downhill after this. I'm still getting over Liams live performances on the last tour.

  • @markwinfield totally agree

  • @markwinfield i wouldn't say that, i think that all their albums are great, i don't notice an obvious difference in liam's singing quality

  • @kurt9876543210 Hmmmm, the fact that Liam can't sing Some Might Say, and many others anymore suggests otherwise. Not a criticism, just a fact.

  • @markwinfield I too!!!

  • @markwinfield Me too.

  • @markwinfield a thousands a bit harsh,but good point

  • this is my favourite song!! is the real rock! OASIS COME BACK!

  • well tbh, i think the video is great, good singing, and there no point in arguing, the fact is, Oasis and this song, are brilliant! ALWAYS!
