It does at least raise the issue of what the line-up of a reformed Oasis (with Noel) would look like, if such a thing ever occurred
Tony McCarroll - Can't see it. I'm sure he'd be up for it, but I doubt Noel would. Also unsure he could handle Alan White's drum parts.
Guigsy - Seems unlikely he'd be up for it. I'd actually quite like to see him involved. Will almost certainly not comment on any of this ever.
Bonehead - He's been in the public eye talking Oasis a lot more in the last few years. If Oasis reformed, I reckon he'd have something to do with it, at the very least playing a few tunes like Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor have been doing with the stones. Seems well up for it. Could depend on how much post-Be Here Now stuff they want to play (as well as if this ever happens, obviously)
Alan White - Probably the most sensible choice for drummer, played on most of the hits that a reunion would presumably draw upon, plus years of experience playing DM songs. Could handle the DOYS stuff, but drumming on DBTT is of a very different style than Whitey's, and The Importance of Being Idle and Lyla are sure to feature prominently. Not saying he couldn't handle it. Seems to have moved on from Oasis though
Gem Archer - Probably the most solid contender for a spot in the band. Has played the whole catalogue, and written a few tunes, (which almost certainly won't be played) Close mates with Noel and Liam, and popular with fans. Professional musician, would get the job done with no fuss. Depends on whether Noel/ Liam would want to go for MK 1 or MK 2 Oasis. Faces competition from Bonehead. If Beady Eye hadn't split up, I'd say he would have been certain for a spot as a reward for loyalty to Liam. If Oasis want to relive the Knebworth glory years, could be out.
Andy Bell - More likely than Guigsy, but faces several obstacles: 1) Reunion with Ride, in which he plays a more prominent role. Andy Bell loves breaking up with bands though, done it four times already. 2) Noel was more pissed at him than anyone else other than Liam after Oasis split. However, they were pictures together lately. Smiling and everything. Solid, dependable musician. Noel respects him as a songwriter for his work with Ride, so if Oasis wanted to pursue a songwriting democracy (Noel wouldn't/doesn't) then he'd be in. Slight chance Turn Up the Sun could be played. Probably be passed over though, especially if Guigsy can be convinced.
Zak Starkey - Great drummer, can handle most of not all of the catalogue. Has thriving career outside Oasis though, doubt he'd be that up for it.
Chris Sharrock - Most likely drummer. Played songs from throughout Oasis career on DOYS tour.
Some new drummer - Almost certainly. Noel's a big Spinal Tap fan, got a record to go for concerning drummers. Probably the only thing that would convince him to do it. He said he'd reform Oasis for half a billion anything: a tour with a rotating line-up of half a billion drummers?
Terry Kirkbride/Scott McLeod - No.

It mentions the 'big un' being apart of it. Hopefully he's just trying to get some self promotion / interest in his book. Im a pro reunion and do believe it will happen at some point but this wouldnt be right, very tacky Not to pick on you personally, it's just that right now I want to ask SOMEBODY who thinks that they will reform.. why do you think it will happen? Noel left for a reason and that reason was either A) he wanted out B) (As he stated) he'd had enough of working with Liam or C) somewhere in the middle. If it's A, why would he have changed his mind? He's making plenty of money at the moment and if he is desperate for cash he can quite easily just re-release some Oasis content and he'll be making a shit load again. If it's B, do you really think that the way things are going at the moment with the whole mud slinging between the two of them, he would REALLY want to form a professional relationship with him again? If it's C, then see above! Again, I'm not picking on you, it's just that it's only now that I can actually be bothered to ask. IMO there's more chance of The Beatles reforming than Oasis. |

The Big Un is retweeting lots of people and articles talking about this story... although we ( oasis_newsroom) are tweeted at in most of those tweets shown, we really have no inside knowledge on this rumour... |

Whatever happened to Liam doing the Longest Cocktail Party? Did that fall apart too?

A) Noel always wants more money. Just the price isn't right atm. He'll never make enough money with NGHFB and Oasis re-issues. He already said that with NGHFB is losing money in fact. B) Yes, if the price is right C) |

He pays a lot of money in promotion, production cost, staff salary, management e.g That's the cost of having your own record company. I don't think the income from record sales and tour sales are enough to have profit at this moment of the tour. In the end of the tour maybe. Just not big enough. |

So glad you aren't picking on me. Noel wanted out of oasis. Like anything else to do with oasis it had to be liam's fault (1 example is static sets lists that was always blamed on liam not sound checking or not learning lyrics but now we get.. ). Its been documented that last tour noel choose to travel with and kept himself away from the rest of the band (not just liam). Noel's final statement also blamed the rest of the band and the mgt (even tho he stayed with same mgt and obv is friends with most of band still / now).. lots of other things but that's just excuses he's made not actual reasons. Noel left because he wanted to prove himself, during the 'glory years' noel's popularity was miles behind liam's. He was the face of oasis (as well as a voice of a generation etc) he created the 'liam zombies' noel was in his shadow, even tho noel wrote those songs. He was the talent, they are his songs which he's made apparent in the last few years. During oasis 2.0 Noel came in to his own he changed press perception and public perception of him and became very very liked but Liam still got most of the headlines for being an idiot mainly. (even now liam's off the radar he still a thorn in noel's side. which is why i think liam does it as without any 'talent / productive projects, just drunken tweets he gets as much general press as noel ') Noel needed to do it for himself and get the adulation he deserves for crafting 15 (now 20 years) of songs that changed everyones lives. He needed to prove that he was the god and be centre of attention. He's now that person and shown it (proved to himself) he's back on top, which is where all big brothers need to be. Im sure there are many more things he wants to achieve but to be this popular and the back of his own name will be amazing for him and any oasis demons erased. the mud slinging is just that, i don't think for a second sara loves noel more than liam does, i don't think its mutual but the mud slinging is the way and will always be the way (and sometimes just pantomime) Money will un doubtly come into play, while noel will be raking it in in HFB not sharing any royalties, a band on a salary . This popularity wont last and when he wants to cash in his oasis chips he'll get a massive payday and a massive massive rush of press, popularity again etc etc.. It'll happen at some point, I'm guessing it wont be this, year or even this decade but it will happen. times moved on circumstances moved on, the shift of power and reality has moved on etc etc.. It'll be a year / 18 months out of theirs life to get a massive pay cheque and make another dent in another decade blah blah |

There will be plenty of records labels out there that lucky to sell 10k records let alone 1 million (which noels 2 albums will do) The whole story of him loosing money was just a typical noel lie / spin... setting up any business would incur a massive deficit but it's all paid for its self last cycle let alone this cycle |

I doubt I would go if it happened but there might be a lot of youngsters out there who would. I personally wouldn't begrudge them the chance to go and see Liam sing those songs. |

Liam + Tony Mccarroll, Guigsy and Bonehead ? In 2015 ? Really ? I can imagine them playing a show or a few ocassional gigs, but a world tour as Oasis ? That wouldn't be cool. I've personally never seen Oasis live. I've been to Beady Eye gig where they played Cigarrettes And Alcohol and Wonderwall and to be quite honest i was more interested in some of BE songs being played that night. Liam as much as Noel has a right to sing Oasis classics, and he can do it with Bonehead, Beady Eye, solo, it's always cool, of course, but if people want reunion i'm pretty sure they don't want just to hear Liam singing the songs.They want the whole band, Liam and Noel together singing Hello. |

I received a call from Guigsy last week as it happens. He asked me if I would consider switching to BT.

Also covered in the rumor thread in fact and fiction section.
Again, I frankly believe in the last rumor as Noel seemed to get very miffed about Liam leaking information. I think Oasis are on the verge of reforming - WITH Noel - but Noel wants to keep the cards close to his chest for promotional reasons. It's happening. Believe.

Also, the reunion when it does happen will be the same lineup as finished in 2009 with Noel, Liam, Gem, Andy, and Chris. That is the most practical, and sensible solution and I'd ideally want that.

He grossed a million pounds per venue in the UK (sold out within minutes of going on sale and with minimal promo) and is headlining loads of festivals. He's definitely finishing up very much in the black after this tour. He's not losing money. |

I asked 1000 people if they would prefer Guigsy or Andy Bell to be part of an Oasis reunion. 100% responded with "Who the fuck is Andy Bell?" |

Noel has been called a prick about ten times since the 'leak of information' episode came along. Btw. Ever thought of building some kind of wall on stage to seperate brothers from each other so they could please the audience in peace ? |
