>Danny Boyle has refused to cut Oasis scene despite requests from American distributors
>In "Yesterday", the pivotal moment in which failed thirty-four year old singer-songwriter Jack Malik first discovers that the Beatles never existed starts with a five minute scene about the rock group Oasis. When Jack is about to bomb yet another open mic performance, he decides to bust out a version of Oasis' oft-covered 1995 mega-hit "Wonderwall" - to no avail. Disappointed at the flat response to what is usually a show-saving mass sing-a-long number, Jack walks off stage dejected and blames it on his own lack of talent.
>Post-show, his best friend Ellie mentions she loved the last song and inquires if he had written it himself. An upset Jack assumes she's mocking him and tells her to "piss off" before realizing she was being genuine - she didn't know "Wonderwall". Jack then becomes incredulous: "What do you mean you never heard that before? We all saw Oasis at Reading! Are you mad?". When she proclaims to have never heard of Oasis, Jack plays the choruses to several of their songs on his acoustic guitar to jog her memory - "Don't Look Back in Anger", "Live Forever", "Champagne Supernova", but Ellie is unmoved.
>Jack then races home and does a Google search for "Oasis" which turns up nothing. Incredibly confused, he then searches for the band that Oasis were famously compared to during their rise to fame - The Beatles - only to find that they never existed.
>This expositional scene was one of the first big belly laugh moments of the film in early showings. It reportedly aroused positive response from audience members, particularly in England, where Manchester-based Oasis was the biggest musical and cultural phenomenon of the mid-1990s. Here, the Beatles-influenced, Manchester-based band racked up eight #1 hits (though "Wonderwall" would only peak at #2) before their demise in 2009, received years of tabloid coverage revolving around the exploits and squabbles of Liam and Noel Gallagher, and an ever-growing following of younger fans which now fuels the post-Oasis solo careers of the two brothers.
>However, the sequence had the opposite effect. At it's Tribeca Film Festival screening in New York City, it elicited practically no reaction at all, save for what some reported as "confused murmuring" in audience. Early test screenings in both large and small markets across America, too, found that many participants did not find the scene funny and were confused over its purpose. When queried, the vast majority of these respondents stated they were totally unfamiliar with the song "Wonderwall", much less the band Oasis itself and their other songs included in the sequence. Additionally, multiple responses were unsure whether Oasis and these songs were real or a fictional part of the film's universe.
Nathaniel Barnes
>Representatives from the film's American distributors, Universal Pictures, were reportedly "incredibly displeased" about this portion of the film, which was derided as "extraneous" and "needlessly challenging" for American audiences. Last minute demands for director Danny Boyle and his team of producers to entirely eliminate and reshoot the scene for the American cut were steadfastly ignored, much to Universal's chagrin. Sources on the inside say that tensions between the creative team and it's financers have only continued to grow and the film's move from a September to June opening was in part due to fears of a stateside flop as "Yesterday" receives mixed reviews.

Oasis fucking blows Stupid brits

also anyone notice how this song never shows up in those threads? I had it memoryholed for the longest time, never posted it in those threads either.
Adam Carter
I saw a preview of the film in Britain and none of this was in it. Oasis was mentioned but because his cover of Wonderwall when he was a kid is what she fell in love with him over. Oasis does turn out not to exist too but he finds out well after he discovered the Beatles don't.
Lincoln Miller
Wow no shit retard
Robert Evans
So much this. The Beatles are part of a much larger idea, than just their standalone songs. How is "I wanna hold your hand" gonna compete with something modern? Anyways, the movie is just sing-a-long bait, which does well at hte box office, that's why it exists
If nobody liked a pajeet singing Wonderwall (a song nobody knows in this timeline) why would it be any different with Beatles?
Landon Collins
Do Americans really not know about Oasis? I thought even they knew Wonderwall.
Robert Jones
This
James Garcia
You don't out often huh
Angel Robinson
>interesting premise wasted in the simplest story possible
Caleb Rivera
The Beatles are way better than Oasis ever were
Alexander Fisher
>why would it be any different with Beatles?
It wouldn't... It's why pop music or just music in general has little to no pajeet stars outside of their own country. Modern pop music is more about the image than it is the content. If Taylor Swift started out as a 300 pound land pig, she would have zero career right now.
Jonathan Bailey
I don’t believe you. Seem like creepy weirdos.
Owen Foster
Oasis fucking sucks.
Andrew Cruz
>Americans haven't heard Wonderwall >Americans haven't heard Don't Look Back in Anger >Americans haven't heard Champagne Supernova >Americans haven't heard Live Forever pathetic really
Asher King
>confused murmurings >about Oasis Holy shit. Americans: explain yourselves. Are you as dumb as everyone claims you are?
I've heard Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, and Don't Look Back In Anger. All crap.
Jacob Harris
We play those in our shopping malls all the time.
Lincoln Perry
>Americans haven't heard Wonderwall That was a huge hit here, Champagne Supernova was pretty big too
Blake Collins
oasis had like two good tracks but were rightfully swallowed up in america by grunge and radiohead to a lesser extent.
Aiden Flores
Americans know a few things about oasis. -wonderwall -champagne supernova -“we’re bigger than the Beatles” That’s pretty much it. I hear that one on the radio fairly frequently.
Hudson Howard
Can anyone else confirm?
John Walker
Oasis have always been shit. Based blur BTFOs them simply by existing.
Luke Edwards
I literally know all of those. Wonderwall was gigantic, Champagne Supernova was also really big, Don't Look Back in Anger not as much but most 90s people will still know the chorus, Live Forever was a hit on alternative rock stations
Noah Myers
Yes, LA fag here. Saw a screening three weeks ago and outside of a scene of him Googling Oasis, nothing else about them is mentioned.
Michael Smith
>past cultural impacts wouldn’t work today because they were reliant on the attitude and climate of the culture at the time Holy shit, really?
William Young
I went to a big festival in the UK. When Oasis played on the main stage PA during a lull between sets, literally everyone stopped talking to sing. At least 30K voices, it was some crazy shit. For Champagne Supernova
Caleb Thompson
How do you learn about good rock music. I've been a bassist for years but never got into performing, I just jam with music I like for personal enjoyment. Problem is, everyone tells me bands I HAVE to listen to . People get upset at me when I tell them I haven't really listened to Pink Floyd or Radiohead or Rush, I'm talking actually getting angry to a point.
>user...you haven't heard The Who? holy shit man wtf have you been doing with your life >Whoa whoa whoa user, are you saying you haven't heard Alice in Chains? Holy shit dude whats wrong with you.
So which bands do I actually have to listen to in order to know enough about music so I can stop having normalfags bother me.
That was the older generation. The ones growing up here are decent.
Landon Wood
Based, fuck Oasis.
Austin Cox
Guitar fag here, just ignore recommendations and listen to more of what you like. I tried listening to the typical greatest bands and albums of all time and enjoyed a lot of them but got shit from other music fans for not getting into U2 or Rush or The Who and shit. Just grasp the wellknown bands you like, look deeper into their genre, and find whatever you think you can get into.
Lincoln Russell
It's frustrating being a pro musician with good technique, but then people make fun of you because you don't know random 4 chord pop songs from 50 years ago
Austin Gomez
Get into Talking Heads or Animal Collective and change the subject to that when someone gets in your face
Leo Richardson
Oasis was massive here, sound of the 00s. Yeah it's a bit shit, but everyone remembers their songs from and relate it to a point in their lives.
Tyler Phillips
Based Americans not falling for Bing Bong GARBAGE
Fuck bings
this
Julian Collins
if you're a bassist why aren't you listening to Rush, wtf. I hope you at least like the Metallica albums made before Cliff Burton got crushed by a bus.
Adrian Gray
Oasis are genuinely the worst British band that is actually acclaimed, every single one of their songs is verse-chorus-verse rubbish, their sound mixing is beyond awful and Liam Gallagher cannot sing.
Gabriel Peterson
Without The Beatles the music made during last 60 years would look very different
Julian Murphy
nah the beach boys would've just filled the gap especially since brian wilson was as talented as all of the beatles put together
Jordan Jenkins
She fills a niche
Cameron Collins
yes but you've heard of them. What's up with the people in the article? they didn't get the joke because they didn't know if oasis was real...
Joshua Williams
I'm a big beach boys fan but let's be real, they have three or four good albums tops. Most of their output is fucking garbage.
Ian Williams
Imagine being a retarded murrilard
Cameron Gray
Honestly, for bass I mostly play ska and reggae, it's just more intersecting structurally because it's more complex triad movement and not just playing fifths and octaves of generic rock chords. >Sublime >Mighty Mighty Bosstones >The Specials
Honestly when people ask what my favorite rock band is, I say Mountain.
Evan Myers
Did the obviously fake story about audiences not having heard of Wonderwall not tip you off?
Jason Ortiz
We wouldn't have The Monkeys.
Carson Mitchell
but how does the main character know the songs if the bands never existed
Benjamin Barnes
Everything from 1965 to 1977 was good
Brandon Diaz
you have to respect the history of music, you have to know about pioneering acts like pink floyd, the who, led zeppelin and black sabbath.
for me personally, i just think it is interesting to see which genres came up when and how inspired by what bands and so forth. i don't get how you wouldn't be interested in listening to at least one album by very known figureheads in music history let's say 1950s onward. the first elvis presley record is like 30 minutes long, how difficult can it be?
The entire joke is that Oasis sucks. He discovers that Oasis doesnt exist but he doesnt even consider for a second to play their songs. Its still a retarded boomer premise that Beatles would have any sort of impact if it came out today though
Brandon Ortiz
must be a big niche
Jonathan Mitchell
just say they're gay and move on
Asher Gutierrez
well the "happy go lucky surfer" shit is generic, sure, but pet sounds is without a doubt one of the best albums of the 20th century. if brian hadn't lost his mind and more or less broke the band up over creative control we may have had 10 more of them.
Noah Moore
I see them where I work all the time, they really are disgusting
t. Canadian
Dylan Rogers
Ye Pet Sounds is my favorite album of all time. They have three or four other great albums but that's about it. Beatles have at least three 10/10s alone and arguably only one bad album
Nathaniel Wilson
Not that it's difficult, it more that they've been hyped up so much that I never feel like I'm in the right mindset to listen to a mind altering, life-changing album that people hype this stuff up to be. I usually listen to music when I'm going other things so do I really want to discover Pink Floyd while I'm doing the dishes or something? People make it seem like you have to sit in a comfy chair with headphones and just listen for 30mins.
I eventually went the opposite direction and now I'm hooked on 90 second folk tunes by Jimmi Driftwood.
Hunter Baker
Danny Boyle is a pajeet lover who hasnt made a good film since Trainspotting
Isaac Peterson
>you have to respect the history of music, you have to know about pioneering acts like pink floyd, the who, led zeppelin and black sabbath.
lol suck my dick
Xavier Gomez
Pop star singer/songwriters like Ed Sheeran, who appears in this movie, are still incredibly popular though.
Kayden Richardson
no article link fuck off to reddit
Caleb Rivera
I know that feeling user. You may not feel the same about them. Just tell them you don't have the time, discovering stuff that interests you.
David Diaz
Problem bigots?
Hunter Clark
Forgot about 15 Big Ones. Love You made up for it.
Connor Robinson
So OP literally made this up and keeps making this thread every day? This takes the cake as far as weird behavior I've seen on this website.
Next time you're in a relaxed mood, put on the album "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. It's only 45 minutes or so and a complete masterpiece start to finish and it has a tragic story behind it.
Angel Mitchell
As a former weeb, I'm just now noticing the similarities between The Pillows and Oasis musically. I used to describe them as "Japanese Beatles set in the 90s" so this thread is really interesting.
Christian Perez
Yes. There are at least two things in the movie worse than what OP wrote
Jose Turner
>This takes the cake as far as weird behavior I've seen on this website.
i get what you're saying m8, if you feel like listening to them while doing the dishes or whatnot, then go for it buddy. if it doesn't hit you it wont no matter what the setting.
personally i listen to a lot of music while working, david bowie being one example of someone regarded as a huge genius that i never got into. that's just how it is.
>you are dumb for not knowing this one hit wonder group from 30 years ago! "no"
Jayden Hill
The Wall is superior
Kayden Hall
>Americans hadn't heard the song wonderwall
Bullshit they were huge here, too. Your post is fake and gay
Oliver Wood
So why doesn't Pajeet plagiarize the Oasis discography instead of the Beatles? Seems like there'd be less detachment between music that's 20 years out of date versus 40-50 years.
tbqhwy i think the wall is one of their weaker albums, the style change is too jarring and i really don't give a fuck about roger waters' dad dying making him sad. obviously comfortably numb/run like hell/etc. are good but i missed their old spacey sound
Cameron Fisher
>gf big fan of the beatles >song resembling the beatles comes on the radio >ITS THE BEATLES user TURN IT UP >its some random dutch guy
fuck women and fuck the beatles
Connor Cooper
i think everyone knows that 'meddle' is actually their best album.
Do Americans really... I can't believe Americans.... Americans really do this..... Americans do that..... America America America
Eurocucks are OBSESSED with the BAS (big American state), everything they do is influenced by their inferiority complex triggered by knowing they're inferior in every way
everybody makes fun of america because you faggots always get triggered by it.
Evan Gomez
Blur>Oasis
Cameron Butler
It's not like they're wrong. We are a piece of shit country. But the funny thing is we're still better than most of the pieces of shit countries they most likely live in.
Europe fucking sucks. They can take their stinky old buildings and shove it up their asses. You know what's way more fun than looking at a shitty old castle? The Hulk coaster at Universal Studios.
Alexander Turner
perfect
Ryan Howard
>get triggered More like bemused. Euros, at least from more western countries, seem to spend most of their waking hours brooding about America, while we pay you little mind.
Kevin Wilson
You mean the ones gangraping English children in their thousands?
Christopher Bell
>seem to spend most of their waking hours brooding about America The sheer delusion you suffer from is hilarious.
Owen Hughes
Pretty much America’s national parks are a thousand times cooler than anything in Europe.
Henry Lopez
The movie SERIOUSLY starts with 'What if nobody remembered Oasis?' before becoming about 'What if nobody remembered the Beatles either?' ? For real?
Joshua Garcia
No. OP is a weirdo autist that’s trying to troll.... Oasis fans, I guess? None of what he posted happens in the movie.
Luke Bailey
Deny it all you want, but Western Europeans are utterly obsessed with America. Our politics, pop culture, music, food, you name it. The normalfags absorb all the aforementioned like sponges, the lefties seethe over our (admittedly bad) politicians, and the rightwingers seethe over the KFC’s lining every block in their town. “Americanization” basically, something it seemed like your lefties used to dislike too, but have given up.
Charles Lee
We couldn't hear it over our police shooting black people and mutts yelling as they waltz over our non existent wall anyway.
Brody Howard
>actually doubles down on it We laugh at you when your country is in the news for another school shooting or Trump doing something retarded and that's literally the only time you're ever thought of. You're a laughing stock.
Caleb Lopez
>he searches for "Oasis" and nothing comes up
What about oasises?
Asher Thompson
>"needlessly challenging" for American audiences this can't be real
This. Every single piece of modern pop culture exists solely because of African-Americans.
Jaxon Parker
reminder they renamed the first Harry Potter to The Sorcerer's Stone because they thought The Philosopher's Stone would be confusing
Luke Collins
these are the movies that make millennials look like fucking retards, and the beatles fucking suck
Ian Harris
some prog is far too wanky for my tastes, and this is coming from someone who listened only to dream theater in high school. pink floyd's strengths are the blues and psychedelic elements, not overly intricate song structures. i really like porcupine tree for the same reason
Daniel Gomez
Pink floyd might just be more over rated than the beatles honestly.
Angel Clark
Animals is my favorite. But I'm sure you're spew autistically at me for saying that.
Robert Young
>wanky That’s because it’s pleb filter user, pure and unashamedly kino. Pink Floyd is kiddie shit compared to the beauty of King Crimson, early Genesis, and Yes
A bit. I like them, but if I hear any song off Dark Side of The Moon one more fucking time, furniture is gonna break. Same for AC/DC, or any of the "classic" rock that's on an endless loop these days. There's so much good music out there, from all eras, but we get the same fucking 50 songs spewed at us.
Chase Ramirez
Music is not competition, retard. If someone doesn't like Genesis, so fucking what? NOBODY CARES. The music doesn't "define" you, or make you better because you pirated a copy. I love Foxtrot, AND Duke. And nobody fucking cares, unless they're in the car with me when I'm listening to it. Stop huffing your own farts, thinking what you think matters to anyone else. It's music. They can enjoy whatever the fuck they want to.
Jaxon Edwards
I could actually listen to ACDC all day and not get bored of it, its the whiny bullshit nature of pink floyd songs that wore thin on me, like wow man life is depressing and we're all gonna die and waaaaaahh im british
Dylan Phillips
I didn't listen to that shit. I was and still am into more Extreme Metal, Post-Punk, Electronic Music.
