It has to be said that generally one doesn't put too much effort into a demo, but anyway I guess everyone knows there would have been no Oasis without Liam or Noel Sure, what I'm talking about is Liam's input into the band. A common view these days is that he was basically riding on his big brother's coat tails. Noel's songs were brilliant, but Liam's vocal delivery took them to a new level and invested them with so much pathos, passion and meaning. Yeah yeah and I agree about that Noel's one of the best songwriters of the last 20/25 years,if not the best,his songs are great,but Liam put that "something" into them that made them the special songs we now know and love Then you know there are songs like Live Forever that are brilliant even if Harry from One Direction was singing them

Unlike everyone above I liked the Rockin' Chair demo the most of those three, and Hey Now the least.

Noel always said the making of Morning Glory was extremely fast. He probably did these quick demos on acoustic guitar, went straight into the studio and Liam laid his iconic vocals on them. These were great times indeed.

I really like these demos and acoustic takes. I wish disc 3 was only these and not mixed with live versions of already available songs. They would sell more.

Oasis would have been nothing without Liam, Liam would have done fuck all without Noel..Its pretty obvious, though Noel would have been more successful.
Listening to the demos, Noel would have still done very well on his own but its Liams voice that made his songs so memorable.
Tbh I was expecting a lot more from these remasterings, thought they'd have more hidden tracks etc available. Maybe some studio recordings of Liam singing Wonderwall, CS and Some might say

Noel is too smart to blow it all now on reissues. He's saving the best for last. Kinda like those awesome Beatles anthologies.

Interesting... and that's all. Hey Now! yeah, it's great but Rockin' Chair demo is rubbish . I would like to hear Roll With It demo or something like this: Where did that come from? This is good question.

Where did that come from? This is good question. It's thought to be backstage at Glastonbury 1995. It was either broadcast on Channel 4 (UK) or BBC Radio One who both had coverage back then.

Noel always said the making of Morning Glory was extremely fast. He probably did these quick demos on acoustic guitar, went straight into the studio and Liam laid his iconic vocals on them. These were great times indeed. Would agree. Everything we've heard about the MG sessions were that they were quick. They were the exception to DM being done three times, so there's a lot more pre-album studio demos with that one, same with the later albums. MG might have been the only true album where they went in and out of the studio. Every other album was demoed to death. The acoustic tracks would probably have been more bookmarks for Noel to keep track of the progression of the songs from a beginning to an end state. They would have been quick acoustic numbers like this. Accumulating so he could revisit them later. I think in the rush between DM and MG, these acoustic demos had to be life savers for Noel. It brings me back to something Noel said and obviously I'm paraphrasing, but he said that when he plays it on an acoustic they're Noel Gallagher songs and then when Liam puts his vocals on it they become Oasis songs. I think that sums up these demos. They're great passages into the creative process or Noel.

I hope so matey, i'm really disappointed they don't have anything more interested to show atm Ive said this before but these releases are to there keep the heritage going. These rereleases will be in record shops/itunes etc for new fans fans to discover for years to come, so a teenager discovering oasis or even music for a cost of an album they get the album, the b sides (which casuals never normally hear / appriciate), live tracks and few rarities from that era in a nice package.

now I understand Noel when he said recording WTSMG was basically making demos, as the "demos" are just acoustic raw versions of the songs...

I think that sums up these demos. They're great passages into the creative process or Noel. Excellent post. Completely agree with your ideas on this. When you boil down Oasis to their most basic appeal I think Noel's quality as a songwriter and Liam's unique vocally ability are equal essential the Oasis sound. Seeing them apart these past few years has make it equally apparent that neither Gallagher can/or will ever be able to really recapture that Oasis magic that made Oasis so special (especially in those early years). Not that I want to either to revisit Oasis right now but it is certain that Noel has songs that would have been better with Liam singing them (I Wanna Live In A Dream In My) Record Machine and (Stranded On) The Wrong Beach) and that Liam sorely misses Noel's songwriting talent. I look forward to their separation because I have hopes that it will give them a spark creatively but those two characteristics combined is essential to what made Oasis the band that they were.

Liam on Morning Glory...that voice...RIP. just read that through the last solo haha it is amazing. was really hoping for that 2nd Hey Now verse.. just heard She's electric demo dailymotion rip and it sounds shit compared to the soundcloud one. - don't worry if the Rockslide gig sounds a bit messy.

I really like these demos for some reason. I would pay a lot of money to have whole Morning Glory of demos like that in some special edition with alternative artwork or something (i'm, dreaming right now). There's something special about them. There's also Bonehead's Bank Holidays demo, with an extra falseto if anyone didn't noticed These are rare and cool things people, whatever you expected. Made my evening to be honest. Hey Now.

I remember everyone bashed Hey Now!, but the demos proved the song isn't bad. The demo is a bit better in my opinion.

Hey Now isn't bad, it is just the worst song on the album.

1. She's Electric 2. Rocking Chair 3. Hey Now 4. Some Might Say, as it is very similar to the many Noel acoustic versions we have already
