Something unpleasant about Noel publicly putting the onus on Liam, when we know Liam has directly contacted him in the past about a reunion and been turned down. Seems to me the ball's in Noel's court these days, especially after his 14 years of "We are never ever getting back together."

First time in ten years I’ve heard Noel seem genuinely open to the idea.

He's got a point, tho. Liam's been hyping up a possible reunion for years now.

Liam tried to call him when he was at his lowest point. There were probably real mental health implications and the best Noel could do at the time was not slag him off in the papers. Noel is now trying to win favour with the fans - that is all.

That’s like if someone blocked you everywhere and then after long time asked, why didn’t you call me? lol
Not even mentioning Liam trying to contact him for the reunion through “his people” and “I will take it to my grave” stuff

First time in ten years I’ve heard Noel seem genuinely open to the idea. He committed only to being open to RECEIVING a phone call. It’s just more brinksmanship. Nobody involved is actually interested in a reunion. |

Noel has aged a lot in a few months, weird.
(He's 100M% right about Liam though, the guy is living off Oasis rumors)

What a terrible brother  Always the same with attention seekers, you just can't satisfy them. Always more, more, more. |

I think Liam's tweets show that he is up for a reunion/reconciliation, but he doesn't want to give Noel complete control over the situation or in his words, "be Noel's little bitch," by calling first. Just because he doesn't want to initate the call doesn't mean he doesn't want a reunion.

Can't see it tbh. Noel wouldn't be able to deal with not being in total control and Liam wouldn't be able to deal with Noel having total control. Especially now Liam has got used to being in control of his own career.

Especially now Liam has got used to being in control of his own career. That’s something Noel should work on. Is it ok that he can’t work with equals? (If you are right) well its only my opinion based on watching from the outside but Noel has always come across as a control freak and in the early days I think Liam was happy to go along for the ride. You could argue the band was more of a democracy in the later stages but was it really? There were non noel songs on albums but from what I've read it was still Noel deciding what songs went on the album. I guess he tried it with Holmes but has immediately reverted to doing it all himself rather than carry on down that road. Anyway there is a lot more baggage wrt working with Liam than any one else. Liam himself has gotten used to being involved in the creative process and being listened to, hard to see him deferring to Noel again to the extent he used to. At a push I could see them gritting their teeth and doing a few nights of greatest hits at knebworth as has been mooted, but never working together again in any meaningful sense. Even for the above, Liam is already doing a DM tour 2024 so he could easily swap Tony for Alan in 2025 and do the same for WTSMG. He doesn't need Noel for that and will realise it, hence refusing to go along with Noels call my people shtick. It doesn't matter who wrote the songs, it's a fact that if Noel wants to sell out knebworth and make millions for a few mega gigs then he needs Liam more than Liam needs Noel. I rather they didn't personally if I'm honest. It's more interesting getting solo material. |

Nobody involved is actually interested in a reunion. Neither wants to be the one to be seen as stopping the rumours at this point. It keeps Liam relevant while not punting a new album...and it's great publicity to the unwashed masses who may not be massively interested in Noels newer output. Win win. And yes I am bored to fuck of hearing the press state Oasis reunion will defo happen to sell their twatty rags or entice page clicks |

If there is a reunion, it will be "just" a mega world-tour. No chance of LP8, in my opinion.
But honestly, I've come round to the idea. Oasis deserves a better send-off than a cancelled gig in Paris. The most iconic love-hate relationship in indie music history deserves to bow out on a higher note than a tossed plum and a decade of social-media bickering; get the nineties line-up back together and take over the planet one last time!

Noel has called Liam's bluff essentially.

Liam kind of has a point, as Noel says this as if hes got nothing to apologise for which isnt true. Like weve said all along, it could only happen in the unlikely event that they genuinely both want to apologise, and can agree on everything.
However, i cant help but feel Liam needs to just keep his mouth shut about reuniting Oasis from now on. The reason being that the “One says something, it makes the papers, the other says no” thing is really starting to look stale now. And if he carries on, they will both look like utter jokes before long.

One thing that's become even more apparent with this interview is Noel's change in attitude towards Liam and Oasis. Is it the divorce, is he at the end of his Wings era or maybe it's just PR?

Noel has called Liam's bluff essentially. That's dependent on people believing that Noel is being genuine, which they don't, in the main. |

I’ve definitely noticed a change in Noel’s attitude and tone regarding Liam and Oasis. Around the time of WBTM which would have been recorded before Liam’s first record had been released he was very dismissive and frankly obnoxious about it all “parka monkeys” and all that but as his solo career had stagnated and Liam's has skyrocketed I think it’s been a humbling experience for him.
That’s why in subsequent interviews (Return to Rockfield, Knebworth etc) he’s heavily acknowledging Liam's contribution towards the success of Oasis and he’s knows the success of Oasis was down to them both. Whereas i think there are times in the past he probably thought of Liam as the person who sings his songs.
The more stuff that comes out like this the more I think a reunion tour will happen, to pay off Noel’s divorce bill if nothing else
