My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: The studio version of Oasis's debut single. While there's no doubt that this is the more iconic version of "Supersonic", coming from their debut album "Definitely Maybe" it fares very poorly for Rhythm Gaming play hence why i feel that's the reason Harmonix picked a live Version in which they normally play this song a lot faster live.
Due to the slow nature of the song on the studio version as well, i feel like all the extra force notes were to give some challenge to the song, so it isn't just a snoozefest.
My personal favorite take on the song is the "Familiar to Millions" version from 2000 played at
Wembley Stadium but the Rock Band DLC version from "Glastonbury 95" is also a solid choice.
Song Facts:
"Supersonic" is a song by English rock band Oasis. It was released as their debut single in Ireland on 5 April 1994 and in the United Kingdom on 11 April.
It later appeared on their debut studio album, Definitely Maybe (1994).
The song was produced by the band and Mark Coyle, their live sound engineer.
"Supersonic" was written by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher and recorded in a single day at the Pink Museum Studio (now the Motor Museum) in Liverpool, England in mid-December 1993.
Despite being technically a demo, it was never re-recorded, and it features Beatles-influenced backing vocals from Tony Griffiths of the band the Real People. According to tour DJ Phil Smith, the song only cost £100 to produce.
In 2024, the song was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
According to Noel, "Supersonic" was the only Oasis single written in the studio after another song, "Bring It on Down", was discarded.
Although Noel is credited as the sole songwriter, he revealed in the 2004 documentary of Definitely Maybe that Bonehead and bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan assisted him in writing the chords.
"Supersonic" has been classified as a rock, Britpop, hard rock, and alternative rock song, with elements of neo-psychedelia and American grunge music. It contains Blur-like vocals, "brief but smashing" guitar riffs and "catchy melodic" chorus.
Along with the Definitely Maybe song "Live Forever", the basic rock rhythm of "Supersonic" is reminiscent of early 1970s music.
The song's cascading guitars are influenced by the Sex Pistols' 1977 song "Pretty Vacant", and also draw influences from bands such as the Who, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Stone Roses.
Noel's guitar solo has a striking resemblance to the opening riff of "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison, with a slightly different guitar harmony. However, Noel has denied deliberately copying it.
The song mentions various vehicles, including cars, submarines, trains and helicopters.
It also saw the band's first lyrical nod to their idols, the Beatles: "You can sail with me in my yellow submarine", referring to their 1966 song "Yellow Submarine" or their 1968 film of the same name.
