What was oasis first single

It was simple, uncomplicated, and clearly defined on the first track of their first album. But unlike other no-hopers who also dreamed that dream, he had the songs to back it up. Intelligence in music, like sugar in petrol, can do more harm than good. Elvis was inspired and stupid. Lennon was more buffoon-inspired than current mythology allows. And Oasis get it — got it, dead to rights. And Oasis shone, forcing the tired and battered, hoary, old warhorse of Brit-rock into a new — and last lease of 20th Century life with two decade-defining albums.

Well — they took that dream and they made it happen. And the contra-backlash starts here! He claims that it took him 'as long as it takes six people to eat a Chinese takeaway' to write it. In terms of structure, it was a lot simpler, most noticeably with the drumming. In the video, Noel dons an offensive orange shirt while he plays lead guitar, Bonehead's haircut looks like it's from Sesame Street, Guigsy may as well not be there, and Tony McCaroll's constantly bouncing curly hair is an annoyance.

But then there's Liam 'The Kid' at the front, looking cool as fuck in his shades and impeccable hair, telling everyone he knows a girl called Elsa who's into Alka-Seltzer. The song would be a basis for what Oasis would achieve, not only in the next ten to 15 years, but also in the next three or four years.

After that came 'Live Forever', the song that Noel says that 'changed everything'. It became the signature song for Oasis during that period, really honing in on the fact that life was brilliant no matter what, which was what Oasis lived by. Despite achieving that goal, their success came at a high personal price, leaving brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher on not-so amicable terms - leading all of us to wonder whether an Oasis reunion will ever take place.

They changed their name to Oasis when Noel Gallagher joined the band as guitarist after having spent time working as a roadie for Manc baggies Inspiral Carpets. Reports vary, but what is certain is that eight songs were recorded for their first demo tape. They were. They have indeed. And bizarrely, for such a hot, rain-free Glastonbury — yes, such a thing exists! As you do.

In the summer. But did you know they made their Glastonbury debut in , playing the Other Stage on the Sunday afternoon where they were sandwiched between Britpoppers Echobelly and Britrapper Credit To The Nation?
