Oasis - Jools Holland - 6th Dec 1994 - I Am The Walrus

[jimlapbap]

Just about everyone who does a cover isn't claiming their version is better than the original, just a personal interpretation of it, and it's usually a tribute to the original band. I know I'd be flattered if someone covered a song I wrote.

[ThatGuyDavidT]

Dont understand the hate... This is an amazing cover, I wouldnt be listening to the beatles if not for oasis

[oasismadferit7]

182 people wouldn't know real music if it came and slapped them in the face!!!

[Disbelieverful]

@oasismadferit7 Victoria Beckham is MILES better than this crap.

[Disbelieverful]

crap.  Slavish rip-off merchants!

[DANNYM35]

@Disbelieverful You do know it's a cover...

[Disbelieverful]

@DANNYM35 You do know that ALL Oasis's songs sound like covers. BEATLES covers, in fact.......

[DANNYM35]

@Disbelieverful So 'I Can See A Liar' and 'I Hope I Think I Know' sound like Beatles tunes do they?

You do know that many Beatles songs are ripped off from Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry tunes. You're a cunt.

[Disbelieverful]

@DANNYM35 Nah, Beatles were original. Unique. They led. Not followed. Not cheap imitation. And, yes, I am a cunt, aren't I? So come on in and FUCK ME.

[LondonDada]

Full of good intentions massacre of the original.

[japzeeman]

i love music i love oasis i love the beatles is that worth fighting for? beatles inspire oasis made them the revolution of britpop...madferit

[theredraven]

@grater61 How is this "shite" exactly?

Actually explain why.

[jumadferit]

That's why I'm a MAD FER IT! Great cover!

[dazzal09]

if u dont like oasis dont watch the video or comment, LIVE FOREVER

[baddacoodoo]

@grater61 Just wondering how you knew that.... Billy Ray Cyrus! Had 9 million views...? Hahahahha its all coming out now isnt it, so this is your taste in music is it ....You Twwwwaaaaaaaaat... Oasis Live forever...!

[TheSheepage]

@baddacoodoo in all fairness mate, oasis' life was cut short a while ago

[baddacoodoo]

@TheSheepage Mutual consent i think you will find. All good things come to an end eventually...! Wait till 2015, thats when they will reform and go on a tour to commemorate 20 yrs of " Morning Glory".... Stone Roses sold out 225k in 2 hours, Oasis will sell in under an hour .........You heard it here first !

[TheSheepage]

@baddacoodoo thumbs up there mate :P love it

[msoasisyeah]

i think this version is better than original, although original version is great, and i love beatles very very very very very much

[baddacoodoo]

@grater61 Look 540,000 views not bad eh...! i suggest u re educate yourself in terms of guitar band music and open up your ears just a little. Dont be a sheep.... accept bands and there creativeness for what it is and what they are. Now i have had enough of your stereotypical nonsense i see that u have jumped n the Beatles bandwagon after probably only ever listening to 1 or 2 of their tracks...Now goodnight and be off with you...PEASANT...!

[baddacoodoo]

@grater61 Dont knock it "our kid " Who else would have the audacity, to do a cover of a Beatles song written by lennon ....! Come on i am Waiting ...?

[Bucboy1001]

@grater61 If I understand the phrase correctly, I agree...

[Bucboy1001]

Beatles + Oasis = Epicness!!!

[sam123456789ist]

@Bucboy1001 see you the fuck later

[Bucboy1001]

@sam123456789ist What?

[cheaperbytheminute]

Even The Beatles didn't play this live because it was t'o difficult'... So, just enjoy the glory of how they were before catapulted into (well deserved) history...

[nickbungus]

How come a band as shite as this can make it. I mean, Noel was a great song writer but apart from that, I know 10 year olds that can play the guitar better and the rest of the band are just as bad

[Sdahlviking1982]

@nickbungus Talk is cheap buddy...

[Bucboy1001]

@nickbungus A lot of Beatles songs were made up of only 3 or 4 chords. They're now regarded as one of the most storied rock bands in history. It doesn't take extraordinary skills to make great music.

[weeyealyk]

the bassist looks like pete doherty

[TheMarques400]

If John was alive, I don't think he would like Liam..!

[alancetej901]

I'm crying. Oasis is over...

[mitsuhide16]

The Beatles = Oasis

[macaroonlee]

This is the only time I ever seen Oasis wearing suits!!

[rossi1605]

its crazy to think i wasn't alive when this was recorded, very strange

[grez14]

@rossi1605 its crazy to think you weren't alive when i was 3

[kevinc5686]

why 177 dislikes, this is a good cover

[marycockburn1]

Oasis will never ever ever ever be as big as the beatles

no matter how much they think they will be. there not in the same leauge

[conorspurs113]

@marycockburn1 Yeah alright cocky it's just a cover. A lot of bands do covers.

[marycockburn1]

hahah is that suppose bother me lol

[conorspurs113]

@marycockburn1 nothing i said was supposed to 'bother you'. I was merely highlighting the naivety of your statement, saying a lot of bands do covers without trying to be 'in the same league' as the band they are covering.

[marycockburn1]

@conorspurs113 no get it right i did not say a lot of bands at all if your gonna quite me get it right

[conorspurs113]

@marycockburn1 No I was telling you that A lot of bands do covers without trying to be in the same league as the band they are covering, I wasn't quoting you, that was MY statement. All I said about your statement was how naive it was.

[Bluearmy76]

@marycockburn1 calm down luv..... Dont think they ever said they were.... But this is a rockin version of a song, that the beatles couldnt play live....... Enjoy it.......

[kenjohnxiv]

This is shit.

[CarEdy23]

dont you love how the top comments amswer each other

[baddacoodoo]

@grater61 Wow ..How ignorant you are. I am a life long Beatles fan and this a stupendous version, only Oasis would have had the balls to cover such a song on live TV. Everybody i give you by " far and away" the most talented, influential Rock and Roll band in the last 20 years .

[74bomayemcfc]

His vocals on this are top order,how he plays with a lot of the lyrics..

[MadFerItManchester]

I'm crying i missed the era !

[vSeaan]

I understand about like 20 words, FUCKING AMAZING!!

[rock4304]

I think the people arent excited because oasis wasnt famous yet

[TheHives95]

176 are not a walrus

[frosty567567]

i honestly think Oasis are the best thing since The Beatles!!

[ctewallwicked]

@frosty567567 I dont think they are, I know they are

[Disbelieverful]

@frosty567567 Lol u are being hoodwinked. Oasis are a glorified Covers Band. They got famous through publicity relating to their indescribably desperate and shameless ''shock tactics'' a la swearing and bad-mouthing other stars with real talent and originality. Nothing more.

[perry3800]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'M CRYING BEST COVER EVAAAAAAAAA! T.T

[sMaNioasis]

LOVE OASIS! amazing version...

[gally0106]

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.

Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,

Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.

I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

[DannyMadFerIt]

Best band EVER

[Muradski]

Im so grateful I grew up in the 1990s!

[ViciousScotsman]

The people in the crowd don't deserve. Mildly, half-arsedly tapping their hips...TO THAT! If that were me i'd probably be going nuts sticking the nut in the drums and jumping about as if a rabid dug just bit me in the arse. Shocking state of affairs when music like that is 'tapped to'. Cunts like that at gigs and festivals really piss me off!

[Argus811]

@ViciousScotsman Me too. I'd be crying and having a seizure. I think this cover is actually better than the original. Which is blasphemy, I know.

[BadenochRich]

Check out Liam sneering back down on the world that sneers at him. He's got character that lad. Saw them at the Livid Festival in Melbourne years ago. They don't move on stage but they don't have to, its like they're comin at you at 90 miles an hour with heavy rock in one fist and melody in the other. Powderfinger, the poor bastards had to headline after Oasis. Imagine having to go on stage headlining after hearing 80,000 people singin 'Don't Look Back in Anger'......

[mvmb7997]

What a piece of shit....

[joeblufc]

Noel said himself it's nice to be compared to The Beatles but they will never better than them, he also said they are his heroes. And is it just me that thinks they sound nothing alike? A few songs maybe, but a lot of people that hate Oasis say they rip off The Beatles, they really don't. The Beatles are The Beatles. Oasis are Oasis. They are influenced by them yeah, but they don't sound like them. If haters weren't so narrow minded they'd listen to Oasis and love them.

[SCOOBDAN]

These were the years that showed me what real music really was

[brennanMUFC]

People saying 'well yeah, but its not as good as the original'... Yes we know! Oasis would say the same thing themselves (possibly!). Covers aren't a way of competing with the origional band, its a form of taking a classic and putting their own twist to it. Some work, some don't, but this one fucking rocks in my opinion so just chill out and enjoy it. Anyway, think about it, what the fuck would the point be in doing a cover the exact same way as the original.. Deafeats the point!

[raptopp]

According to Johnny Marr, Noel is playing his guitar here. The one he wrote The Queen Is Dead and Bigmouth Strikes again. Pretty cool.

[joydivision808]

@raptopp that's the only good thing about the vid 

[shearcoald443]

was awesome, but the original is better..... thums up if you agree

[mjnr1fan]

the Beatles were and are still better

[ItalianStallion153]

@mjnr1fan duh

[mark586323]

good cover

[celesteybordo]

THE LIAM'S VOICE :(

[MrEspenBakke]

i thought they were going for a "a day in the life ending" there. kinda hoped so too.

[victorhugo1965]

Beatles for ever



[DannyMadFerIt]

@victorhugo1965 Yeah but Oasis for-fuckin'-ever

[donsuccone]

god bonehead was shit.

[blakeguitar94]

@donsuccone bonehead is a fucking true lad man, fucking great guy.

[NHurford1]

@donsuccone sorry who are you? i bet hes better since hes fucking famous!!!

[donsuccone]

@NHurford1 HEY what your fucking mouth you little shit!

[FrerardBigFan]

Great !

[delboy20091]

good days,still the best band .. fuck the shit like westlife,lady ga ga & robbie williams.

[celeocanth]

how audascious taking on a well loved classic and making it work. to hear a bad version listen to Spooky Tooth's attempt

[FrenchDonovan]

Damn it was a good era. When Liam was God and Oasis were the kings of the world

[TheGoier]

I'm crying, i missed this era!

[MG3AEH]

@TheGoier I'm crying; I lived the era !

[GhastlyCretin85]

@MG3AEH haha. exactly. everything is better in hindsight aint it?

[Joejoelorretta]

@MG3AEH Oasis missed the 60s

[TheVideoMenace1]

This IS the walrus

[powerlester]

Took a fucking masterpiece and Oasisised it. It's faster now and has the fuck-off attitude I so dearly like.

What's the word I'm looking for here? Something better than a masterpiece.

[TheVideoMenace1]

Its more than worthy the origonal lacked the right speed and vocals for the lyrics and this improved on it slightly

[gwyneth00]

This cover by Oasis--a very good band--is well done. However, nothing can ever touch the original work of art. For God sakes we're talking about John Lennon and The Beatles! They are THE standard by which all others will always be measured. So again, great job by Oasis. A worthy tribute to their idols, The Beatles.

[TheVideoMenace1]

faster AND BETTER!

[cosg9531]

Lousy cover, and too fast.

[TheVideoMenace1]

@cosg9531 Your speaking out your dick filled arse hole cosg9531

[cosg9531]

@TheVideoMenace1 Do you think about dicks in your ass a lot? Then you have much bigger issues than some crappy band butchering a Beatles' classic.

[TheVideoMenace1]

@cosg9531 Its better than not thinking

[DannyMadFerIt]

Oasis is the best band of last 40 years...

[Cwall96]

@DannyMadFerIt Better than The Who, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen and The Doors?

[DannyMadFerIt]

@Cwall96 Yes

[Cwall96]

@DannyMadFerIt Wow

[afcsnaggy]

good to see the old oasis together!!!

[jamiemcgarva12345]

3:16 - Orchestra shitting their keks when Noel starts ripping the fuck out of it haha

[killswytchuk]

great cover by a great band!

[pvdkiebo]

I am the walrus, is the best song ever. And oasis should have known this. I bet they know it, because this is awesome.... wonderful

[mariiwhat]

love the way Liam's voice goes with this song.

[skorpio2112]

Literaly... "i'm the eggman (Lennon) the're the eggman (Oasis)..." ... Golden Years

[cambruoso]

A cover is not supposed too sound like the original! That is the fucking point of doing a cover.It sounds better then the blah blah Beatles to me.Oh and Alan was their best drummer.Not fucking Ringo Jr who sucks compared to Alan.

[lambertwm]

great cover, but I'm not so keen on the singing - and they should've this song played a bit slower, closer to the original. But well done!

PS: also check out the videos by Yellow Matter Custard. Impressive.

[Justleonyuri]

I think that almost everyone who enjoy Beatles enjoys Oasis as well

[ancathdubh]

i love the beatles and i love this.amazing cover.

[nhlturtle87]

great cover....although i am more of a fan of the version off of the masterplan which gives it a little rougher punkier sound. still great seeing oasis with violns

[KAMAfocus]

OASIS is reak rock'n'roll. nobody ever else

[cdevinr69]

fucking excellent man.. 

[sardsak]

what´s with the shitty sound?

[m444rt3np444uw]

look the the orange chillin' on the orange amp, hahaha! awesome

[Reint25]

@m444rt3np444uw Haha, that's hilarious!

[mdilla11]

@videogamenostalgia

FUCK YOU you nostalgic video game terd...Its a cover asshole!! And he just tore the fucking roof down you dull shit...lennon's performance was great, this was epic!! So try opening your eyes when you watch a video genius!!!!!!!

[videogamenostalgia]

Fuck you Oasis, just fuck you...

[davidoflondon]

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE THIS BEATLES COVER...listen up....if u don't like it then fuck off.this is OASIS SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.if any of you geniuses can do it better then go make a definetaly maybe,sell million of records and then say whatever u wanna say....

[ConansGuitar]

i agree with pippin76, this is a mess, A Lennon Masterpiece vandalized :(

[marssi131]

i love YOUNG liam <3

[BLAGASPANTS]

Check this music forum out,  it's new and needs good quality members.

warringtonmusic d ot c om /forum/

Narce one !!

[NHurford1]

i have to say this is a great cover :D

[NHurford1]

i have to say this is a great civer :D

[rios9283]

haha the faces of the classic musicians when he distortioned the sound of the guitar!!

[Pippin76]

This is just a mess, haha

[Tommmiker]

:D No it´s systematical ... :DDDDDD

[Tommmiker]

:D I have to go to church on Sunday ... ;-)

[Tommmiker]

:D An exceptional clerk saying Heil Hitler while his right hand gets slowly down. Not to avoid communists break down in a smile. While all of them slobber at a girl "An Enemy Of World War II". All is seeing her in a second of joy while their wife asks why he always close his eyes in a hope that a hero of "Reprise Number 62" step forward out of screen as both of them forgot on baby from "Reprise Number 22" that just crossed her nineteen telling in mid-thirty that it doesn´t mind.

[Tommmiker]

:-) We can sing for a while as while as well... My favourite lyrics ... ;-)

[lolZEPPELINrules]

I think this is my favourite version of this song, other than the original beatles version, but this is absolutely mega

[blakeguitar94]

I like the people who come on this video to take a piss on Oasis for covering a song by a band that inspired them to become to greatest band on the earth (FACT)

Sad bastards you lot, go back to your metal music and fuck off

Live forever

[Frikkz1]

@blakeguitar94

While Oasis are certainly not a bad band, they come no were close to the Beatles. The statement of "greatest band on the earth" is an insanely bold statement and oasis, while doing a fucking awesome cover of "I am the Walrus", do not deserve that honor. I agree with "lolZEPPELINrules" in that this is is the best cover of this song by far, also zepplin rules.

[space75gr]

apocalypse now!

[1986markjohnson]

mr city police man sittyyyyy

[aquilascura]

anyone says they don't like this then take it up with Jools Holland... he knows more about music than you! lol

i think the only problem i have with this is that they had to contest with orchestra making the quality of sound questionable

[dragonknight123455]

This is TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like oasis but this is definaetly the worst song ever.

[whdgk95]

@dragonknight123455

You are aware that this is a Beatles song right?

[dragonknight123455]

@whdgk95 yes and its my favorite beatles song Oasis just did a terrible version of this song

[whdgk95]

@dragonknight123455

well you have your opinions,

I have mine.

Let's not state our opinions as if they were facts, quite offensive.

[MyFantazmagazzle]

Wow, this is fucking terrible!

[MrRC1992]

@MyFantazmagazzle Wow, you smell like fuckin' horse shit!

[XxSockMonkeysxX]

goo goo ga toob...that is all i heard...it is the rock version!!!that is pretty cool..but i still LOVE the beatles!!!

[wickedean1988]

[QueenBeatlesWings]

the Beatles will never be forgotten because they inspired so many other bands

[Chokula99]

I am ''Da Walrus''.

[bigSlide94]

oasis are fuckin better than the beatles

[biggray2]

@bigSlide94 LOL

[diehardWHfan]

@bigSlide94 i admit that oasis are awesome..but honestly.. noone.. and i mean NOONE is better than The Beatles. Even Oasis would admit this.

[carbalockerfishwife]

noel n liam are the jerk who think himself as a lennon re-incarnation,well....how come? they just another product of the 90's walrus...

[callumrocker1]

good cover, not as good as the original tho

[Zan838383]

Perfect

[liveforevermaybe]

they really know how to make a song sound like their own, Oasis rule

[biggray2]

@liveforevermaybe

They really know how to make a song sound like shit you mean..........The music sound exactly like the way the Beatles recorded it, but the singing sounds like they just got some drunk schmuck off the street to fill in at the last minute.

This is terrible. John & George are rolling over in their graves because of these assholes.

dislike #156 blongs to Biggray2

[liveforevermaybe]

@biggray2 no, what i said was that Oasis sing Beatles songs better than the Beatles themselves, cant help stating fact, but thats the way it is. Now go and put on an Oasis song and listen to the Genius at work.

[biggray2]

@liveforevermaybe EPIC REPLY!

[NickInDetroit]

Tripe committing Blasphemy.

[liveforevermaybe]

@NickInDetroit even better than the beatles
