Not sure what's particularly offensive about that version too. Martin's vocals are perfectly fine.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I remember seeing the video a few times summer of 96. I don't know if I've heard it much on the radio since then. Oasis means waaaaaay less in the US.Silent Majority wrote: ↑06 Apr 2018, 10:54amI think the song's average at worst, but was wrecked by a few million more radio plays and nightclub appearances than it could take.

I remember I first heard about Oasis from my roommate at the time, who was into Metallica and Lars hyped them as a "non-pussy British band."
