Musician didn’t usually criticize the Manchester group, but revised his lines after Noel Gallagher’s unfortunate statement
The influence of Beatles it can be felt in popular music as a whole, but of course there are bands that have taken even more inspiration from the legendary group from Liverpool. One of them is theOasiswho never denied the reference, although their leaders, the brothers liam (voice) and Noel Gallagher (guitar), make some weird statements about idols themselves every now and then.
We know that the Gallaghers love the Beatles, but what will Paul McCartneysingle of the double Lennon-McCartney watching the group in action, do you think about Oasis? The website rock and roll garage compiled a series of speeches by paulover the years, about the Britpop phenomenon.
The first rescued statement is not good at all. And there’s reason for that. In 1996Noel Gallagher told MTV that the band’s initial two albums Oasis,Definitely Maybe (1994) It is (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? (1995)made their band bigger than the Beatles.
Although the guitarist said in 2015 that he was under the influence of drugs when he said this, McCartney he didn’t like what he heard. to the newspaper Irish Timesin 1997, the Beatle defined the Gallaghers as “vulgar” and stated that they “think too much of themselves”. “They mean nothing to me,” he added.

Paul McCartney Clarifies Oasis Opinion
Over the years, members of the Oasis began to be more careful in their interviews. Naturally, Paul McCartney also eased to their side. But in 2001, during an interview with radio host Howard SternO Beatle said he only started criticizing them because they were already talking nonsense before.
“Everyone asks what I think of Oasis, as they sound so much like The Beatles. I’m tired of this question. But I replied: ‘they are ok, I wish you good luck’. They’re young and the world is complicated, so I just wanted to help. But then they started badmouthing us, saying they’re much better, so that pissed me off. I didn’t speak so badly of them, I just said they were vulgar.”
Later, in 2016, Paul spoke to the magazine Q about how this unfortunate statement by SantaGallagher only increased the frequency of comparisons with the Beatles.
“Oasis was young, fresh and made good music. I thought the biggest mistake they made was when they said, ‘let’s be bigger than the Beatles’. I thought, ‘so many people have said this, but this ends up being the kiss of death for these people’. Be bigger than the Beatles, but don’t say it. The minute you say that, everything you do from then on will be analyzed in light of that statement.”
Cheering for the Gallagher brothers reunion
A year earlier, in a question and answer session on its website (via Rolling Stone USA), McCartney highlighted that he would like to see the return of Oasis. The band ended its activities in 2009, amid fights between liam It is Santa.
“My advice to them? Just get together and make good music. But they have to want to do it. Many people would like them to do that. They are really nice guys.” I don’t know if they’ll make up. It would be good because I think everyone likes brothers to like each other and make up. It’s a shame because they are really good together. Like many brothers, they are crazy, but it would be nice if they stayed together.”
Apparently, the brothers themselves agree. liam has been more open to return, while Santa gave a rare signal when he stated, in an interview last January with BBC that you can’t say “never” to a meeting of the Oasis. However, the guitarist assured:
“But it would have to be in the face of a series of extraordinary circumstances. This is not to say that these circumstances would never happen. I’m still passionate about songwriting and the creative processes. The whole thing never gets old for me.”
