From the madness of playing stadiums like Knebworth Park to the unexpected chaos of the Be Here Now tour, Noel unpacks the meteoric ascent of Oasis in the mid-’90s. He recalls the moment promoters suggested putting the band on the pitch, how it went on to sell over 60,000 tickets, and the surreal experience of performing where he once watched Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones, marking an iconic moment in British musical history. In addition, Noel also delivers a brutally honest take on “Be Here Now,” which was the much-anticipated follow-up to “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” He shares how he felt the band went into the studio too soon with songs not ready to follow such monumental success, and how he felt the band decided to “go into the studio with a load of songs that weren’t good enough for the first two records,” eventually leading the band to change setlists to keep up the energy of live shows. Despite the shift in momentum due to that record, Noel remembers the tour that followed as the most fun Oasis ever had. Noel also talks about the missed MTV Awards, the chaos, the laughter, and the unforgettable rise of a generation-defining band. 📼 Related Videos To Watch Next: ▶ Icons: Noel Gallagher | Icons: Noel Gallagher of Oasis ▶Tony Iommi: The new limited series from Gibson TV: Tony Iommi: The new limited series from Gi... ▶Icons: Dave Mustaine of Megadeth | Icons: Dave Mustaine of Megadeth Find Your local Gibson Dealer: https://www.gibson.com/en-US 📩 Get Gibson guitar news before ANYONE else: https://bit.ly/GetGibsonNEWS 📱Follow Us On Social Media For The latest Guitar Gear! ▶ Twitter: gibsonguitar ▶ Instagram: gibsonguitar ▶ Facebook: Gibson 🔔 Subscribe To Our Channel: @gibsonguitar SHOP GIBSON BRANDS https://www.gibson.com/ https://www.epiphone.com/ http://www.kramerguitars.com/ http://www.steinberger.com/ https://www.krkmusic.com/ https://www.mesaboogie.com http://www.maestroelectronics.com ABOUT GIBSON Gibson, the leading iconic guitar brand, has shaped the sounds of generations of musicians and music lovers across genres for over 130 years.
