Hey, does anyone know exactly why Oasis ex drummer Alan left? Please let us know, thanks From the time a statement Oasis officially announced that "Alan White has been asked to leave Oasis by the other band members." Apparently the others asked him to leave cos he wasnt pulling his weight and not giving anything to the band creatively. The speculation includes "alan white has been sacked/left oasis is because when his contract came up for renewal recently (he was on a paid wage rather than a percentage of profits) he was told he was only being offered the same wage as andy and gem, which was considerably lower than what he was on when he joined them in 1995, so he told them to shove it" "Last month, the Gallagher brothers learned that Alan was responsible for the leaking of their 2002 album, "Heathen Chemistry" onto the internet, three months before release. Alan, who had several copies of the finished disc, allowed one copy to be put in the hands of an NME.com reporter. The final decision to fire White came when Alan failed to show up for Oasis' rehearsal sessions last week." Other reports said he had quit the band because of tendonitis, an inflammation of the muscle that causes irritation. Here's something I found from The Star Newspaper: - Alan's decided to call it a day due to his increasingly bad tendonitis. A source said: "There have been lots of discussions between all the members of the band over the past week. It's been serious faces all around but it is amicable." However, the upshot is that Alan's no longer a part of the group. "This has come from Alan's side," added the source. "He's just decided he wants to do something different for a while. And it's a chance to give his wrists a bit of a rest." Brothers Noel and Liam had to axe a gig in Barcelona in 2000 when Alan's problem first flared up. The group called in his brother Steve to play drums on their American tour in 2001 when the injury became so bad his fingers started hurting when he played. Noel said at the time: "Alan has been gripping his drumsticks wrong for years." So basically no-one really knows  I hope that helps  |

Alan just lost interest in the band and in music. That's what I read from Steve White's website.

wasn't there something about Alan trying to get Liam to drink (or bringing alcohol to the studio) even though Liam was trying hard to be sober?
or was that one of the other old members?

I don't know why people try to make bad things sound good. Bad things are bad. Acceptance doesn't come through trying to look on the bright side. LIke when important people in my life have died people are always like "well, he was in a lot of pain" or "well, she was old" and so on and so forth. But that's beside the point. Ok, fine it was ALSO bad that he was in a lot of pain and it was ALSO bad that she was old but that doesn't change the fact that it was bad that they died.
Similarly, though not as serious, it was sad when Alan, Guigsy, bonehead and Tony left. Sure they all had their faults and shortcomings but so what, so do we all. You need not diminish the great thing that was the band with these members nor the greatness in their own special way that was each one of these members in order to accept it. C'mon, I liked Alan, I valued what he contributed. It is sad that he is gone. I appreciate Gem and Andy's presence now too, but if they leave I won't be like "well I mean gem is replaceable etc"
C'mon guys, remember the good times, accept that something bad has happened, value it for what it was, and now also value the new. There is no need to tarnish the past in order to get over a sad event.

You're absolutely right.  What I don't get though, why would Alan leak the album? |

Yeah, that's true. I don't get that either, and if he did do that well that's not cool.

Sure they all had their faults and shortcomings but so what, so do we all.

I downloaded a copy of the "leaked" HC, 3 months before the release, and I don't hink it was the finished release. The mix of LBL was different, and also, the songs were in a different order... Remember how a lot of the songs on HC ran into each other, well SCYHO ran into AQP, instead of LBL running into AQP. And HIABP ran into LBL.

THE OFFICIAL REASON OF WHY ALAN LEFT
I read a small article in Q about why Alan left just after HC came out. it was an interview with Alans MOTHER.
It went....
Interviewer: "So, could you clear up all the rumours of why Alan 'Whitey' White left....oasis.... Was it the tendonitis, tired of touring, arguements?"
Alans Mom: "No, its all a bunch of LIES! He had to come home for his tea!"

errmm? How old is his mom? Because I think she is either ironic, or she is just suffering from bad mental condition due to aging...:/

Noel talks about it on nme this week.
He answered cleared that Alan didn't seem to want to be on Oasis no longer, as some important meetings were called and rescheduled several times for him to be there and he never could make it.
So they got some news that Alan was in Spain with his girl. They were pissed and then decided to sackim out.

Alan's brother said on his website that Alan had grown tired of being in a band.
