I remeber watching a interview where Noel was asked about a solo album and he said thats something hes looking at and hes got a couple of songs that hes kept back for a solo album maybe hes keeping STC and RM for that.

A solo album is inevitable and I can definately see these songs ending up on it in some form, good point.

My bet is he's keeping the good but less Oasisy songs for a solo album. I doubt he's holding STC and RM specificly for a solo album, it's probably more due the fact they're dire that he's 'holding them back'.

I hate this whole "well, they're good songs but not Oasis songs" mentality. FUCK THAT.
If they're good songs then record them and put them out. Let the band try something new.

i think he would keep those off if he wanted a good solo record. they're kinda dull.

I think a Noel solo record would be more interesting that alot of people think. I could actually see alot of variety on something like that. Chemical Brothers mixes, collaborations, testing himself at heavier songs.
I don't know why others think it's inevitable. Where's the precedent?

^ Liam should do an album with colabarators such as the chem bros and unkle, basically his vocals and then other people producing/mixing over them - kind of like what Ian Brown has done in the past, that would be class.
As for Noel though, I reckon just himself and a guitar would be great.
I can seriously see this happening as well, Liam doing upbeat/electronic work and Noel doing a bare bones acoustic album.

Well there's the fact that he's said he will more than once: www.nme.com/news/oasis/27632and just thinking logically, if he's got an opportunity to make a solo album before his career is out, of course he's going to - it's his character, he's going to want to test himself and it's his legacy! He knows he's good enough, why would he not bother? look at Paul weller, Ian Brown and John Lennon before him, it's definately going to happen man - maybe a bit further down the line yet but it's comeing. I reckon he's already got it all planned out anyway. Liam, not so much.

I can't see Noel doing a solo album anymore. He's too old. Besides the fact that he's said a bunch of times that he wont.

Besides the fact that he's said a bunch of times that he wont. ^ you are wrong on this, read my post above. he's said A LOT of things in the past!!! but in recent years he's been talking a lot about a solo album and it's pretty much a given for someone in his area anyway. “I’ve actually got a backlog of songs that are slowly building up. The thing about a solo record is the time to do one is between Oasis world tours because you’d have a good couple of years. “But it takes me so long to write the songs that eventually I run out of time (before Oasis begins again), but I’ve got a backlog now of about four or five songs which are probably too far in the past as far as the band in concerned, but which could work on my record... it's coming.”Also, he's 41 - why on earth is that to old!!!

You make some good points, but my own opinion is that neither brother has stepped outside the sphere of Oasis for anything more than a song (Setting Sun, Let Forever Be, Carnation, Keep What Ya Got, Shoot Down, Scorpio Rising etc). Also, how many of the albums made by Weller, Brown and Lennon were made before the disbanding of Style Council, The Jam, The Stone Roses and The Beatles? It's not impossible, but I don't see Noel stepping out of Oasis for a solo effort anytime soon. And I don't see Oasis splitting anytime soon. He also makes alot of statements in jest.

I can't appreciate what you are saying when he's not to old, it's perfect timeing with the growth of his band, all his peers have done it, he's said he's going to do it, he's said he has some songs for it, anyone in his position would hugely regret not adding it to their life achivements, he would make a shit load of cash out of it and he's already been doing solo gigs.
I would willingly put a ton of money on the fact that Noel will relase a solo album in the next few years (if I had any spare cash handy!)
This is something that will happen.

Touring the world with Gem singing Oasis songs to promote Stop The Clocks is well within the sphere of Oasis.

I agree: it will happen at SOME point. Doesn't mean it ill be anytime soon or involve those specific songs, though. And I would be very, VERY careful of any "in the next few years" comments. People said that about a Noel album back when SOTSOG was released.

See you've lost me now becuase you are ruleing out Noel singing his own songs, whilst playing his own guitar to his own fans without Liam and then your disregarding what he's said to the press about working on his own songs for his solo album and your telling me you can't see what any of the Oasis brothers have done outside of the sphere of oasis?
If you mean anything they've done without being in the band then fair enough, you've got me on that. This has all been going on while the band Oasis exists and I can't see them splitting up anytime soon but for me, everything points to a solo album regardless of whether oasis stay together or not (which incidently i think they will stay together)

^well that's how I read it, no worries though I'm not here to argue! I love Oasis as much as the next person, just to quote Noel on the solo album though "it's coming"
I think it will be in the next few years because they are so far in to their careers that it just seems reasonable - that's just my opinion and obviously there's no evidence that the work Noel has done so far will definately be on his solo album. just my opinions guys, I'm suprised some of you aren't as confident as me in it happening.

Ok I've just found on the offical Oasis website that Oasis DID deny reports of Noel working on a solo album. here's the link: www.oasisinet.com/site.php?site=search&result=true&start=0&picidx=737I'm not sure what that really tells us, it could just be that they aren't interested in talking about it becaause it isn't the right time but to be fair, obviously they are quick to play it down. I still strongly belive it will happen before long though. Thinking about it though, I'm not sure if there will be much of a difference from regular Oasis albums considering how much he sings, plays and writes anyway but hey ho.

It's ashame these idiots didn't even bother listning to you and continued to talk their jargon Noel has gone on record and claimed that he said he was going solo because he knew it would annoy Liam and there's no truth in that. You guys are delusional. Of course it MAY happen. Anything MAY fucking happen. But to say that Noel has said it would, or to say that it's inevitable is just wrong.
