I thought I was being kind. I was initially going to have them rounded up and shot.

Young Fathers are great, what a support act theyd be. Fontaines DC, Paul Heaton, LCD, all great, even Blossoms are okay.

But peddling indie crap like Kasabian and Courteeners was out of fashion in 2008 let alone 2024. Hope it's wrong but Oasis support acts weren't good at all in the latter era.

As long as Noel continues to write good songs and Liam can still sing, then absolutely, new music should always follow.

Edited, should be able to see now.

I hope he does take lead again. Gem's guitar playing is dull and lacks any feeling. Noel might not technically be as good but it's all about the sound and the feel that only he can do. There's a reason why Coldplay once tried to write a guitar solo that 'sounds like Noel Gallagher' rather than the Heavy Stereo front man.

Well Simon & Garfunkels various reunions kept everything strictly professional with no warmth between them.

Obviously they'd rehearse together and do all the other necessary things, but they never really resolved their own animosities with each other.

That and the fact neither of them called each other 'c***s' and everything much worse for 15 years suggests Noel and Liam have a lot of making up to do.

God no, Wooton played with Kasabian so that marks him down immediately. Associations with Beady Eye doesn't help either.

At least Russ is northern, and roughly same neck of the woods as the Gallaghers. Seems like a decent guy too, not that clichéd surly look Wooton tried hard to replicate.

Haha what cop out if true. But don't trust The Scum.

Obviously no chance of it, but it wouldn't be so difficult to secretly record.

Noel might have a tune he could easily record with Gem and Chris, send the tapes to Liam to record vocals over with Andy Bell or Bonehead adding their bits too.

In this day and age, any band could record all parts separately and stitch it together. Lacks authenticity but pretty sure some bands have done it.

Those worms still crawling around his brain I see.

Owen Morris is the only one they really got spot on. Spike was a good choice but much of the heavy lifting production wise had been done in the demos I think. Sardy, the less said the better. But I think there's one ideal producer, which is Rick Rubin.

Noel stated that they were very close to hiring him once. He'd have been perfect, would have brought some clarity and energy to the sound and ensured the best material available would have been recorded.

Again, another massive missed opportunity. None of this mediocre tired Dave Sardy shite for sure. Part of me thinks an Oasis reunion is a pointless venture if Noel continues to be an unambitious bore in the studio and is terrified of being challenged. Even if Noel produces himself, we'll just end up with a dull sludge of guitars as opposed to the spectacular crashing reverbed sound of the Morris produced era. The producers Liam worked with would be good in comparison with Noel's dull approach to recording.

REUNION CONFIRMED!!

Unfortunately in the 15 years since, Liams let himself go.
