September 4, 1996, marked a day full of amazing performances by top artists like Beck, Alanis Morissette, and The Smashing Pumpkins at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Oasis had their recent success and were excited to perform on such a big stage, despite not being nominated they were unexpectedly the highlight of the show.
They were set to perform on the stage after Cranberries when the band’s frontman Liam Gallagher made a cheeky comment while greeting the audience.
“I hope you’re having a good time, but we know you’re having a s*** time,” which appropriately set the mood for the audience.
And then they proceeded to perform “Champagne Supernova,” where Liam stole the show by improvising lyrics and interacting with the crowd in his unique style.
Liam captivated the audience with his fascinating and controversial performance, featuring finger snaps, wild antics, and a spectacular finale by slapping the mic stand and spitting a pint of beer on stage.
Fans are eagerly looking forward to their reunion tour in 2025, but this controversial performance of the Oasis is still an unforgettable memory in the history of music.
