How The OASIS Reunion Happened... (and what's coming next?)

Oasis reunited because of you James. You are the reason.

[@BessieBopOrBach]

James, back in the '90s I was obsessed with Oasis. Then, around the time of Standing on the Shoulder, I set them aside, and didn't really listen to them again for 20+ years. And yet, when the reunion was announced, I cried wirh happiness. Two things happened in the meantime: Richard Ashcroft brought Liam to sing on his recent album, reminding me how much I missed his voice -- and I discovered your channel. You helped me rediscover my love of this music and these men, and I doubt I am alone in this. I'm very grateful to you for bringing back some of the joy I'd been denying myself!

[@NoNameNo.5]

James, we willed this into existence, You and I, and all the fans and people pushing guitar music back to the top. I predict a new album world tour and then disbandment, which is proper and it will inspire many millions of lads as they did in the 90s….i know their tunes were part of the reason I picked up mah geeeeetahh.

[@folksurvival]

Delusion.

[@chrismcart1]

And again......if they don't travel, hotel, spend time as a " band" that includes Gem, Andy, Bonehead and probably Zak then it's a sham. If Noel and Liam are separat6 hotels, dressing rooms etc it's a piss take. A band is a band ❤

Ive been listening to morning glory and definitely maybe non stop for the last month and cant help but feel like id never give them a shot if it hadnt been for your coverage, so thank you very much for the work you've been doing and continue to do.

Liam was joking about the Super Bowl leak, the image is confirmed fake, the joke being that Kero Kero Bonito (KKB listed in the picture) are going to do their version of Rock N Roll Star with Oasis. They actually did cover this song and it's a fun listen.

[@theoasisreunion]

Solid as always JH 👍. I think the ‘i fucking dare you’ interview sealed it for me, looking back

[@Gavaldo]

It’s a little bit strange we’ve not had any communication from the brothers yet. I know we’ve had the official pictures and everything but we’ve still not even had any communication from either of them which knowing what both have been like in recent months that’s very surprising known how much they’re normally doing interviews with various radio shows and music journalists. Especially when Liam & John Squire were on every music and news channel straight away and when the DM tour started also but not one interview from them about the Oasis reunion from either Noel or Liam. Hopefully they will do something soon. Mega Great content as always James. ✌️👍✌️😂

[@TheGalwayFarmer]

no press conference, just word soup from behind a computer. The photos were blatantly 'shopped

[@michaelmcdonald5175]

The lack of communication will be one of Noel's conditions made before this could happen. The one that was predictable is the 'Will Not Be Televised'. This is because the money is tempting enough for Noel to do it but he knows Liams voice is shit now and wants no official recording of it.

[@13tomhayes]

@@michaelmcdonald5175Liams voice isn’t shit though is it, the live album from Knebworth that he did sounds quality, and so does down by the river

[@Gavaldo]

@@michaelmcdonald5175very possible but since when did Liam listen to his brother Noel. That would be a first if that’s a Noel thing and an even bigger surprise if Liam stands by what Noel tells him to do or not to do. I take your point though but I’d still expect at least a few comments from them maybe not together but at least Noel talking to talk-sport or his m8 Matt Morgan. Then also Liam has been quieter than ever before since the announcement. ✌️👍

Noel, Liam, Bonehead, Bell (and maybe Whitey?). Gee, that would be my favorite Oasis lineup. I love Andy, love his songs and contributions to Oasis in the later years. Always seemed to be a humble dude just happy to be in the band, also a fantastic bass player. Bonehead was the heart of oasis in the 90s. Really happy that noel and liam are back together, but getting the boys back is going to be awesome too.

I could be wrong but I don't think we'll get the new album until next year, it's already middle of September these things are usually announced at least a couple of months in advance and record pressing plants need even longer.

Great video as always James

[@MedalionDS9]

Nice rundown of events leading to the legendary announcement

[@jamespattison4681]

I reckon James is an insider, knows everything that is going on and it's his job to drip feed enough information to the world to keep everyone interested. I think all these little bits and pieces and all the stuff about the songs, their meanings and all the other stuff have been given to him to relay to the world. So my expectation is that there will indeed be a new album in the next couple of months because James pretty much said so and I reckon there will be a push for the Christmas number 1 spot to complete pretty much the only thing they never achieved first time round. Thanks for confirming the new album James, can't wait to hear it 😊❤.

[@SprowstonRipper]

This is great stuff, nicely pieced together 👍

[@joeterzio7175]

Does anyone know why James deleted the videos that he did? The original Masterplan 2 video and now parts of this one?

[@watergaveuslife644]

A bit off topic but he also deleted the Tom meighan interview in which I was confused about.

[@crookedzebrarecords]

I was massive fan in the 2000's, covering lots of songs, lots of acoustic tracks. In America, nobody really knew their work other than the hits. With hip hop taking over, it was like a desert here (kind of embarrassing as a musician). Wish they had never broke up to begin with, one of the last great bands. I struggle with aging rock stars still on tour (that's just my opinion, and I am likely the minority; however my inner child is happy as can be hearing they are back together!).

Hey James, I thought that Noel doing the full electric DLBIA on this last tour was a big clue? As well as his trip down memory lane on That Pedal Show, he would have never done that a couple of years back, he’d have kept it ‘current’ and all about HFB. That was the Bat-Sign in my opinion !
