Reverend & The Makers Release Nostalgic Footage of Oasis Cover Featuring Arctic Monkeys and Milburn

Reverend & The Makers’ 2004 Performance

Reverend & The Makers have shared footage of the Oasis cover they performed with Milburn and Arctic Monkeys in 2004.

“From the Vaults,” they wrote on X/Twitter today (January 5) alongside a grainy clip of the Sheffield artists performing the Gallagher brothers’ “D’ You Know What I Mean?” for “Chris McClure’s 18th birthday at a local drinking hole.”

Chris McClure’s Iconic Memory

Chris, brother of Reverend And The Makers’ John McClure, was pictured smoking on the iconic cover of Arctic Monkey’s debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. Back in 2021, following the album’s 15th anniversary, he shared: “What a record. I’ve met some amazing people since then…literally by having my photo taken. It’s a pleasure to be associated with it.”

Watch the clip below.

John McClure’s Reflection

Just recently John McClure opened NME about his relationship with Alex Turner. McClure and Turner met back in 2001 on the bus, where McClure asked Turner if he wanted to join his band. The two will be members of Judan Suki along with Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders.

Their breakthrough hit “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” references their friendship with the lyrics: “Dancing to electropop like a robot, 1984.“, referring to McClure’s 1984 band.

The “You Again” singer has since reflected on their friendship, his ADHD diagnosis and the band’s new holiday single, “Late Night Phone Call.”

“I understand myself better,” McClure said of his ADHD diagnosis. “When I was 24, I thought I knew everything and would leave NME about everything. I knew damn it all. Looking back, I probably behaved pretty badly for most of my career.

He added that he was not well mentally and said that with the addition of drugs and “my best friend (Alex Turner) being in the biggest band in the world and being jealous of him, it was a bad mix.”

“I now understand that ADHD is a special strength that I didn’t know how to use before,” he continued. “I have four unfinished novels, all of them great ideas, but I still don’t know how to finish them. I storyboarded the Late Night Phone Call video and I’m the CEO of Day Fever. Given everything that’s gone before, I think I’d better get someone else to finish something.
