My seven year old daughter will be distraught. They are her first musical love; she likes them more than Oasis. That's rough. Best of luck to you when breaking the news to her. |

I'm working far away at the minute so hopefully the wife has done it but if not then the task will be on my hands very shortly... |

"A little bit strange and shocking but not so unexpectedly, though. I think it's Liams decision, beacause of all the shit with BE and the following tour. And the lack of good management, and of course his private life with divorce etc."
From a guy close to the band. He also said: "Don't know if Gem will play with Noel from now on but I sure hope so."
Two weeks ago, my friends spoke to Andy Bell, who was in Sweden, stating "If Noel and Liam don't become friends again we will do a third album."
Maybe some of you like this kind of information.

although everyone is saying there will be no reunion, i'm really curious what the motivations were behind the break. definitely a loss and feeling a little melancholy, but I also feel they'd reached the end of their rope.
what this opens up is a lot of options. LG to go solo, work with a variety of other artists/songwriters? also 3 steps closer to an oasis reunion; i felt like a big reason we could never get a DM/MG reunion tour was because liam had obligations towards oasis MK III or whatever due to basically still being in oasis minus noel making it awkward for any of former oasis members to come back for a reunion. just a thought.

Is it just me, or is this like the real end of Oasis? Cos lets face it, Beady Eye were Oasis without Noel. I feel a bit sadder now than I did when Noel left. I never viewed them that way. I resent that people do. The music is just so different. But I do feel like this is the last for Liam. He doesn't strike me as a solo artist, even though that would be really cool for him to do. But at the same rate, it would look as if he's just trying to mimic big brothers success if he goes down that route. I don't really care to see him in collaboration with other artists unless he's writing the tunes. I mean, hearing his voice again would be nice, but we've had the past 20 years to do that. And I don't see him starting another band when he just quit this one. Unless he was just wanting to shed the lack of success that was Beady Eye, it seems pointless to join another band. I think he might be taking a long...long break probably until eventually Noel decides to do another Oasis album in the next decade or something. Or maybe I'm just letting the fear get me. |

What's a good line from a Beady Eye song that is fitting to this sad day? Or maybe something a little inspirational? TBH besides the line "Call me the roller" I could not tell you one BE lyric off the top of my head. |

We put in the album on March 2nd and to our surprise, Liam's singing on a few songs. Ha. That would be a surprise. |

Surely this announcement happening closely with the release of Noel's new single isn't just a mere coincidence? I suppose it could be entirely, but just strange timing. Why not a few months ago?

Yeah I have no idea why people want Oasis to reunite so badly. Uneven albums and greatest hits tours all the time? That got stale real fast and felt uninspired. I was lucky enough to catch Oasis 11 times, after gig 6 or 7, it was always the same going thru the motions act. Granted I had fun but I like bands to grow and push themselves. You were lucky enough to watch Oasis live. That's why you're never gonna get it. Oasis was the band that changed my life and i was never too lucky ,as you was, to watch them at least one fucking time (not 11  ). I want to hear live all the songs that changed a generation and i don't really care if it's a step backward for Noel's career or whatever. I want both brothers to have successful musical projects outside Oasis but in the future (near or distant) i want them to get back together. With or without a new album. I don't care. See I'd rather see Noel live than Oasis. My favourite band is The Smiths - split up three years before I was born, but even though I'd be first in the queue to buy tickets if they ever reunited (which is almost impossible) because I love the band, a part of me would feel sad about them just rehashing the same old stuff, while Morrissey and Marr - as good as they are at the moment - wouldn't be at their ultimate peak like they were in the 80s. A band like U2 for example, I'd love to see live because I still think they make brilliant music and are hellbent on staying relevant and trying something new to interest fans (whatever the success of that may be) but with Oasis its simply the lowest common denominator for a reunion - both brothers look bored as fuck,the setlist is predictable, nobody gives a toss about the new songs, Liam's voice is shot 90% of the time, while the songs lack the adrenaline and energy of the performances from the mid 90s. That to me is ultimately depressing and why a reunion is a terrible idea. The idea gets even worse considering that Noel's solo career is flying at the moment. |

Both their records aren't too bad, considering the shit music we get today. I always see Oasis fans saying things like this and it's something I (until recently) would have agreed with (well, I wouldn't have said anything positive about Beady Eye) but there's tonnes of great music out there. You just have to work to find it. |

The ghey side of me hopes Liam gives up the rock n roll lifestyle and gets back with Nicole and sorts his life out. I do wonder about the timing, I have an inkling it's because Gem will be joining Noel. Otherwise there's little reason for them to have made a decision now if someone didnt have other plans coming up.

It's pretty obvious Liam wants an Oasis reunion. And Noel doesn't. My prediction: Oasis will reform if/when Noel releases a solo album that tanks. So support Oasis by not buying Chasing Yesterday  |

Hope not. Noel needs to stay away from anything associated with mediocrity. I'm sorry, but Gem and Andy just do not cut the mustard. The pair of them were stuck in the 1970s and the dad rock was embarrassing. So uncool. The fact that even a forward thinking producer like Dave Sitek couldn't drag them from their 1960s/70s rut suggested a serious lack of talent. They're both really nice guys but they didn't offer anything to Oasis. They may be more competent musicians than Bonehead and Guigsy, but that didn't stop live performances declining massively from the 90s high point. I think this split is a good thing. The band were well past their sell by date and didn't get with the times. Whoa. We normally agree, but not here. Gem is far from mediocre. He's as genuine and effortlessly cool as one can get. And he's a solid guitar player, too - much better than the current bloke in NGHFB who managed to fuck up even the LBL guitar solo..... Gem is a real asset to Noel. It's not difficult to find a competent guitarist - there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of better guitarists out there than Gem. Again, he's a nice guy and all, but he offered absolutely NOTHING to Oasis. So whats the point in teaming up with Noel? In this day and age, you expect a bit of variety and modernisation with music. It's absolutely fine to take influences, but thats not the same as being derivative. Everything that Gem has worked on has been derivative - even his old band Heavy Stereo were backward sounding, derivative of glam rock 70s acts like Gary Glitter.... enough said. Andy was the most disappointing - for a man who helped pioneer the modern sounding shoegaze sound, he suddenly lost all ability to be interesting in his songs and ripped of various 1960s bands. If casual observers of Oasis think Noel was derivative, then they ain't seen nothing when put up against these two. It's just incredible than as soon as Andy and Gem joined, Oasis didn't progress, didn't even stagnate, but lord above, regressed their sound! The two Beady Eye albums are testamount to this as it shows a band completely out of touch. You can't get away with being incredibly derivative of acts from the 60s and 70s these days, and they were deluded if they thought they could. There's nothing that even tells us of any ambition to modernise their sound and bring it into the 21st century. It was either reinvent or die. They chose the latter. I hope all members go off and do their own thing and spread their wings, because quite frankly, they've been caught up in a straitjacket for far too long now. |

But it's not the same thing. The Gallagher brothers completed each other. Liam was the voice and the attitude. Noel was the songwriter and leader. When one element is missing the result it's not the same thing. I don't give a toss about the voice being "shot" or if they look bored. When they reunite it will be for all the people that want to see them together. And money of course. |
