[@sebastianfitzptraick7395]

Noel has often said if he had that night in Paris again he would’ve done the gig and they would’ve gone on hiatus for a year. However if him and Liam still continued to fight so bitterly then it was inevitable.

[@jcqa333]

You LIIIIAR!!!

[@Xighor]

This aged like Milk in the sun, less than 2 months later they split lol

[@pegger18636]

And to be honest, the way Liam was singing later on the DOYS tour, I'd almost think it would be preferable to have Noel's mic turned up and Liam's down. His voice just couldn't handle singing most of those Oasis tunes anymore, there was nothing worse than the constant pulling away from the mic and ending notes mid sentence/breath. Liam's voice used to be amazing, but if you never noticed Noel's backing vocals perfectly complemented his singing and made him sound a lot better esp. in later years.

[@SoAmazinglyCrafty1]

pegger18636 Liam has thyroid issues which is why he has a lot of trouble singing now , but his voice has made a huge comeback 😍

[@MichaelAnthonyPresents]

@@SoAmazinglyCrafty1 his voice now sounds like his early 2000s voice, but without the rasp. I wish it would be like that. Nothing amazing, but can at least sing the songs.

[@drdiabetes7469]

If Liam would get stem cell therapy in his vocal chords they would regrow into what they were at the start, apparently it's an insanely successful treatment.

Lastly when Oasis do reunite, the reunion tour will definitely break records in Europe and the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and practically every where in the world except North America. Oasis may sell out and play several nights In a row at The Hollywood Bowl, or Madison Square Garden, but that would be it. Americans never quite got Brit-Pop or Oasis and Blue and several other bands, and I don't know why. Liam Gallagher optimises what Rock N' Roll is all about, so you would think that they would love Oasis in the USA, and don't get me wrong many people do, but many people just also roll their eyes at them. In South America there are a number of bands from all over, and around the world etc, that are practically worshipped over in South America, Oasis being one of them. Oasis are popular in almost every music loving country throughout the World and that does include America. They have sold millions of albums in America, and their albums and singles chart well their, but it's like they just have this core group of fans almost like a cult following who seem them, because otherwise, they are just another band in America. Sorry for the ass post. I thank anyone who took the time to read it. In saying that if you or someone don't agree with something I said, or anything that I wrote, then i'm happy to hear your opinion, but if it turns into an argument I'll just leave the page. Anyways peace and love to you all. From Tom in Sydney Australia.

[@timothymerrylees7590]

Oasis never hit America properly because their songs use more than four chords throughout the whole song. 😂😂😂

[@wannabeangusyoung]

ive been trying to get that point across for years now thank you

[@paintballing489]

Noel is great, but he's said before the reason Liam went mental at him is because he thought Noel turned the press and fans against him. Which made him paranoid, taking that into account and the obvious tampering with Liams microphone during the last tour, I'd say Noels more to blame. He pushed Liam to far. But thats only an outsiders opinion, no one can really claim to know exactly what happened.

[@RB-pq9ld]

Liam touring solo is proof that the people still wanna see it

[@noluntas]

10 years... :'(

[@pegger18636]

I've never heard that rumour until now about Noel tampering with the microphone. It seems pretty unlikely to me that could possibly go on for long without Liam noticing. Not only that, but doesn't Liam himselft have the ability to have the techs turn his mic up or down AS he is singing, depending on his own judgement of the volume/how his voice is feeling...?

[@Mekahl13]

oasis was the best thing that ever happened to me...noel inspired me to play guitar and write songs aswell...oasis was my life...my favourite time was when their new albums came out...i dunno what the fuck ill do without them...noel can go solo but it wont be the same anymore.

[@kcurran9913]

Do you like Noel's solo career?

[@paintballing489]

Some fans believe that during the last Oasis tour (2008-2009) Noel turned down Liams microphone, then turning up his own mic for most of the gigs. So his vocals would be louder, and Liams voice would be drowned out and barely heard by the audience. If you watch some of their 2009 gigs, this seems to be the case.

[@laganas2008]

Mr G has consistently made me laff my head off over the past 15 years, I love his interviews...have u seen the one where he keeps saying everything is amazing? Funny as FOOK!!

[@skippy1uk]

hey do u know the link to see that??

[@skltfz4997]

liam perform using his voice and attitude, noel compose music and playing guitar, i dont think noel can replace liam in most of their song that i think it is perfect

[@HaikuHike]

I think that they are happy at the moment - they've even made an ironic track as Burnage Boys (you can find it on Last FM) - really ironic and fun (is it them?)

[@jono86]

I'm a massive Oasis fan but you've summed them up there perfectly.

[@paulz710]

@Snotra no. if you don't get another country's slang don't try to use it

[@RichardLaarge]

Its fun playing small places because the fans, even at the back, can be pretty close to the band and its got a more personal feel. Stadiums are "hey, thousands of people, thanks for the money!". Oasis don't pull anything special out at stadium shows to make up for it.

[@LiveForever912]

Liams fault my arse. Just as much Noel's fault as anyone elses. The difference is Noel is sneaky and clever, hence the tampering of Liam's microphone. Why do you think Gem, Andy and Chris started a band with Liam and not Noel?

[@maximthefox]

Cos Liam had the voice and was the frontman

[@10jonchannel]

They never “started a band” they just decided to continue playing with Liam, why dis Gem and Sharrock join NGHFB’s instead of Liam on his tour?

The man and the band are legend, no further comments required. I feel sad for all the haters out there. Not everyones cup of tea but they excel at what they do.The man virtually re-invented guitar musicand the guitar as an intrument of choice. He is genius, most people dont realise to what extent though. Peace and Love.

@1THETRUTH10 hey, he left oasis because of liam really, to much drugs and alcohol, that's what made them argue and broke them up. but you are kinda right he does need to get it sorted and come back, he's the older brother, he was meant to protect liam and just ignore his little strops now and then, but he didn't. :?

I don't think they should get back together. They left a legacy, they made some fucking amazing music and now, well, it's over. It may have ended on a sour note, but it always does with the best bands. I never saw them live, but the music's always there when I want it to be.

i wouldnt say that man, the first 2 albums are the best in brittish history and be here now is fuckin amazingly good, even though the albums they produce nowadays may not live up to that standard, they are still fuckin miles ahead of any other bands best material.

He also said he'll never get back with Oasis, so ...

[@sudsysarahjane]

irony! i hate that they're through but i still got there albums and that's cool with me..... i guess.

[@GDFullOn]

OK smartarse. They all sound the same? Tell me what is the link between Songbird and Falling Down, The Importance of Being Idle and Champagne Supernova, I'm Outta Time and To Be Where There is Life How do they all sound the same? What has always been the same with Oasis has been Liams voice (he doesn't have alot of range admittedly) and their Wall of Sound style of recording...but you have to admit that their was alot more space on the last record than ever before.

[@ProbablyCoolerThanU]

[@SirKnobofCheese]

its funny in the 90s I liked Oasis a lot more then Blur.But I find myself prefering Blur.Although Masterplan is stiil my favourite Song.

[@theselector4733]

Coz he needed a band to have his own songs played. Wouldn't have made it on his own and at that time probably didn't have the money to hire session studio musicians or the contacts to form his own band anyway. I guess in the end they all benefited mutually from joining forces. Remember Noel had tried out as singer for The Inspiral Carpets and had been knocked back , I think that would have dented his ego somewhat so what better way to get back at it than join a band at the bottom.

[@endezeichengrimm]

He didn't actually say that, did he?

[@degernierpaul]

gutted !!! i really hope noel and russell get back together

[@scotland7yard]

their music is enough talking to me, that's what they're best at.

[@freepoco2]

without noel there would have been no songs, and a band is all about songs. it was originally liam's band, then noel joined and became the leader and songwriter, and then they became successful.

[@MedalionDS9]

Arguing semantics. Oasis is just a name, but the band is WITH Noel Gallagher as the primary band leader and song-writer. Even if Liam fronted it with Tony and Bonehead and Guigs, they've all left or were fired. The band name of Oasis may have been with Liam as the only remaining member, but Oasis was really a band worth giving a damn about when Noel stepped in.

[@BollocksUtwat]

I'm happy. Noel solo album will be the shit.

[@rockerpunK0]

He joined because liams band "the rain" wasnt do very well the songs they wrote werent gettng anywhere, the gigs they did was small and they were finding it hard to be reconist, Noel came along and said look i can help you , i will write you songs and join your band if u want me to , but if i join i shall be the leader and liam and the rest of tthe band members agreed then oasis was born noel didnt join oasis he made oasis and he also made them famous and the band they are today
