^^I don't even want to think about that. :uhoh:

Oasis is not dead.

It only suffered a severe brain seizure this week.

 

However, the brain might be damaged but the body is not.

lol, I just chuckled at the thought of Liam singing Don't Look Back In Anger and the Masterplan...

 

Hahaha same...

Nightmarish.

Yeah that's weird because origionally Noel was meant to sing Wonderwall, and Liam to sing Don't Look Back In Anger. Apparently Oasis did a demo of Liam singing Back In Anger during recording sessions for What's The Story.

They have to work this out. They just have to.

 

Or music will never be the same. :bigcry:

Forgive me for the innordinately large post, but i'm a massive fan with a real passion for this band. Here's my thoughts on the last few days that have passed:

 

You can say what you like about their behaviour and borrowing from The Beatles, but they were still brilliant. I love them and nothing could ever change that. Many people say that since 1997, anything released by Oasis has not been worth it. I passionately disagree with this. Since 2000, they've gone on to doing some of their most amazing work. I know a lot of people will agree with this, but it's struck a chord with me and I couldn't be prouder of the band. I'm especially delighted with their latest, Dig Out Your Soul, this is my second favourite Oasis album.

 

Sadly, the animalistic personalities stood in the way of the genius of this band being truly realised. Had they shed their use of coarse language and pontificating themselves as "the worlds greatest band", I really see no reason why they couldn't have been as big as Coldplay. Anytime I talk to someone who puts this band down, they always express their dislike for the Brothers before discussing the music. In fact, people who express a dislike for the band only know about 2 or 3 of their songs!

 

I absolutely adore the talent of Noel Gallagher in the same way I do Neil Finn, Paul McCartney and Chris Martin. A lot of people around here disagree with this (understandably which is why I don't bother taking the discussion too far), but over the years, Noel Gallagher (I don't mean the whole band here, just Noel as a singer and songwriter) has proven that he can be just as poignant and melodic as Neil Finn and Chris Martin. Musically and lyrically, I consider Noel, Chris and Neil to be of the same class.

 

There, I said it. You're perfectly welcome to disagree, but in my ears, there is an unsung, underrated genius in Noel just as there is Neil and I can't imagine my opinion of that changing - ever. I love Noel Gallagher.

 

Personally, as much as i've enjoyed seeing Liam's growth as a songwriter over the years, I wouldn't want to see Oasis without Noel. In fact, i'm more open to a Liam-free Oasis than to lose Noel. In a funny sort of way, I am happy for Noel. Lately, in interviews, i've noticed him becoming less and less enthusiastic about music. His attitude seems to stem from his working environment, so maybe it will help him turn a new leaf and find a new found enthusiasm to record, tour and love music.

 

Therefore, the split certainly doesn't come as a surprise given that 1997, along with Cool Britannia, should have killed the band, but it didn't (which is a testiment to the strength of the band). Any life that the band has endured since this era has been a bonus. In my opinion, they went on to do some of their best work and break the mould of simply being a Beatles tribute act.

 

My only fears that remain is that recently, in his Blogs, Noel not only explicitly states his farewell to Oasis, but there's also some undertones of him maybe leaving music. I hope i'm wrong, but he hasn't really expressed any intention to go at it alone, instead, he's just said cheers and left it open. I certainly hope this isn't the case as i'd love to hear some solo stuff from him. I sincerely believe that some of Noel's most intelligent, heartfelt and innovative work has yet to be heard.

 

They will be missed.

Good to know there is some equal Melbourne support.

We're a dying breed!

:bigcry:!!

Oh, god. Please, let's not have anymore heartache. I can imagine it and it's not a pretty sight.

I don't know if you've read these stories from the sun, but it has more info; like the fact that both can go on singing Oasis songs...but they have to pay each other performance royalties if the other sings songs not written by him so...sucks for Liam! At least it's possible to imagine Noel singing Wonderwall and Don't Go Away, as seen on his acoustic gig. :)

Oasis was a good band. I `ll miss them.

I'm still so upset.

 

Like, really depressed.

 

But when reading this, I laughed.

 

It's like they're getting divorced. :P

People tried their best to get rid off Oasis post 1997 but it didn't work because post 2000 people actually realised they were good musicians who made fantastic music not a party piece band for Britpop and Cool Britannia. Be Here Now was released days before a huge world event that shocked everyone. The album was meant to be the latest episode of a crazy, partying Britain. Everyone was high... but then Princess Diana died. The country's big party had come to an abrupt, permanent halt and no one was prepared to listen to such rollercoaster rock n roll. Yes Diana's death signalled the end of Britpop and Cool Britannia and people wanted to leave Oasis there as a 90s party fad but that thankfully failed because in the end they didn't represent Britpop or Cool Britannia but represented great rock music which people wanted to continue listening to. NOT because they were a 90s brand BUT because they were a great rock n roll band.

Liam Gallagher tells waiter: I'm not going back to Oasis

 

Apparently Liam has ruled out any chance of seeing Noel and himself perform on the same stage ever again. He saying "it's over" possibly suggesting that he won't continue the Noelless band.
