Oasis split

Eire-Dearg · 28-08-2009 11:15pm #1

Sad news - is this finally the end for Oasis? I know they "split" in the past, but looks like that's that for Noel and he's finished.

A STATEMENT FROM NOEL

28 August 2009

"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.

"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."

The_Joker · 28-08-2009 11:21pm

Finally some good news for the weekend

I suppose they'll do a massive reformation gig like 90% of the other bands!

Tossers

Handsome Bob · 28-08-2009 11:23pm

Hopefully now Noel will release a solo album now. I can't listen to Liam's shhhhhiiiiiiiiitttttttteeee voice anymore.

JerryHandbag · 28-08-2009 11:37pm

Meh...seen this all before...they'll be back together next week.:cool:

sockpuppets · 28-08-2009 11:41pm

in fairness they should have split after whats the story, everything they have done since then has been well below par

No band has topped Morning Glory or Definitely maybe since and they still produced great music since then, its hard to beat perfection. Didn't think they actually would split, Nicole Appleton in the sun yesterday sayin they would go on till they're old men. I doubt never means never with the gallagher brothers though.

Ah come on now, id hardly call either of those albums perfection, they were very good but far from perfection, and noels songwriting has been on the wane ever since. Im just saying if they had split then, they would be cult legends, even more so then the stone roses.

aidan24326 · 28-08-2009 11:54pm

Seemingly the two brothers had a major fight backstage tonight, then their tour manager went onstage to tell the crowd (in Paris) that the show was cancelled, only minutes before it was due to start.

chordtype · 28-08-2009 11:55pm

Honestly I would much rather see an acoustic Noel show than a full oasis show, especially with some of the **** they have put with the last few albums. I'm sure this sentiment is shared by a lot of people.

What your saying is true but they are legends as it is and Noel's back catalogue of songs that don't include songs from either of those albums is amazing. Even some of Liam's songs are up there. Even they're b sides are great, all you have to do is listen to the masterplan album to realise that. They're still capable of writing great songs and performing great gigs. Slane this year was the best gig I've ever been too and for once Liam's voice was spot on. Had a feeling that it was the last time I was seeing them but they'll have a reunion tour without a doubt after Noel dicks around for a few years with a solo career.

actually i do have to agree with you about the b-sides, they had some good ones alright.

rcaz · 29-08-2009 1:17am

Excellent news.

29-08-2009 4:00am

If you had broken this new to me ten years ago I would have been a lickle bit sad. But really, who gives a toss now. They were great back in the day though.

flanree · 29-08-2009 4:37am

woo hoo!

Samurai · 29-08-2009 4:39am

so gutted, really liked 'dig out your soul' and was anticipating their next album

such a shame

at least i got to see them at slane before they split

Xavi6 · 29-08-2009 6:17am

Gutted

One of my big regrets is not getting to see them live.

Don't think any band has a collection of b sides as good as 'The Masterplan'

goddevil · 29-08-2009 6:32am

The best news i've heard all week....

SoupyNorman · 29-08-2009 6:41am

They were well past their sell by date! Made some great albums but leave it be fellas.

Bonavox · 29-08-2009 9:01am

It's about time they split. Got old fast.

ironictoaster · 29-08-2009 9:05am

It was bound to happen though in fairness, one way or the other.

Running Bing · 29-08-2009 9:08am

Definitely Maybe is one of the greatest debut albums by any band ever, Whats the Story is an absolute classic and Heathen Chemistry has to be one of the most underrated albums of the last 20 years, it really is a cracking little album. Thats not even mentioning the Masterplan which is a collection of b-sides that sh1ts all over 90% of most bands A material. Thats not a bad legacy for a band imo....and they were incredible live.

Their other stuff is dodgy. Ive still always given them the benefit of the doubt and defended Be Here Now and Standing on the Shoulder but it has to be said, even as a fanboy, dont believe the truth was poor and their latest album was absolutely awful. Dig out your soul was a huge disapointment and by far the worst thing they have ever done.

Still a sad day for me as Im a huge fan. They were a lot better than they are often given credit for these days.

lordgoat · 29-08-2009 9:32am

Ok guys well done so far and let's keep ot civil from here on in. So far i'll let people say they are happy to hear Oasis have split as long as it does not go any further than a post, if you continually keep bashing on about it there will be bannings.

I'll also ask Oasis fans to not take any bait laid and report any posts they do not like.

Thanks guys.

I quite enjoyed DOYS actually,Ive always been a huge fan of theirs.
Saw them a month ago in Camden at an intimate gig..you could definitely feel the tension between the 2 of them,but alas they are brothers.

I feel a day of Oasis music coming on

Whiskey Devil · 29-08-2009 10:51am

Sad news indeed. One of the truly great and iconic British bands. I'm sure there'll be solo albums which will be interesting..

I dunno, I see it more as a hiatus.....we might see a long awaited Noel solo album now, which I think might be very good.

And I dont buy in to this "Oasis havent done anything good since 1995" bull****, plenty brilliant songs on their albums since then to make a mockery of that comment.

Glassheart · 29-08-2009 11:17am

Terrible shame.:(

Gotta say i love the last two albums.
I feel that it was on the middle three albums where they really lost their way and earned their reputation amongst many as being uninspired,pub rock etc...

I suspect if Noel gets a taste of a solo career there will be no chance of him ever going back to Oasis...

3DataModem · 29-08-2009 11:24am

A great band whose best days were definitely behind them.

Saw them in the Tivoli, Point and supporting REM in Slaine and they kicked ass.

Maybe Gem will reform heavy stereo?

wow - i don't even remember leaving this post

I don't even agree with my own statement! It is sad news, my teenage years were spent singing along to Oasis, not a big fan of their newer stuff but I would still be sitting fingers on buzzers waiting for their tickets to go on sale when they are doing a gig here. Saw them three times, most recently at slane, where, even though it was a great gig, they had lost some of their chemistry.

now that is sad. just makes him look like a tosser

as a lifelong oasis fan i am gutted to hear the news but hopeful they will be back, they have never had a "bad" album, just some of them are not up to the high standards they set themselves, its hard to recreate genius over and over again

I spent my afternoon bangin out tunes on the guitar. The back catalogue is just fantastic.

JerryHandbag · 29-08-2009 11:45am

I like Bloc Party a lot....but Kele is just a pretentious knob for saying that.

Handsome Bob · 29-08-2009 12:05pm

Bloc Party are just a part of an endless sea of poser bands in Indie right now, so I couldn't give a rats ass about what Kele thinks. Kele would have been kissing ass last night had it not been for Noel (I think) dismissing them as a band last year. So this is just petty stuff really.

As for this thread, I find it comical that people are dismissing Oasis as well past their sell by date, when they probably think that U2 have still got it!

nxbyveromdwjpg · 29-08-2009 12:27pm

Bloc Party are ****e and that video is just another testament to what useless and worthless ***** they really are.

Heathen Chemistry is as good if not better than WTSMG, and I'd also bet that most of the people on here saying they havent done anything good since the first two albums would be the same ones moaning if it had been another band that had put out everything Oasis had since WTSMG that had just split.

i think the 1st 3 albums were classics, really love be here now. heathen chemistry and sotsog were both half albums imo. 1st half of heathen chemistry is as good as they ever done. dont believe the truth and doys are good solid albums but not groundbreaking.
the masterplan sh!ts over anything bloc part ever done, kele should mull over that! there are also plenty of great b-sides not on that album - lets all make believe, carry us all, i got the fever, eyeball tickler, shout it out loud.

i think too many people latch onto the line, not relevant since 1995/6 etc without even listening to what they have produced since. obviously some would have and just not liked their music, fair enough, i respect their opinion. none of their albums in the 2000s are as good as 90s stuff (what is?) but still a lot of great tunes in there and thats what matters.

live forever:cool:

but1er · 29-08-2009 12:47pm

at 17 ive grown up on oasis and i am sick its over

oasis all day 2day

exiot · 29-08-2009 1:00pm

The Gallagher's have been giving Bloc Party **** for years, I can understand why Kele is delighted with the news.

Bloc Party have only been around a few years and have already made better music than Oasis have achieved in a 20 year career. All Oasis managed was 2 decent albums at the start of the 1990's and minimum good tracks on the 7 albums that followed, same ****e album after album. At least Bloc Party have changed their sound and are alot more diverse.

jingx3 · 29-08-2009 1:24pm

Noel Gallagher leaves Oasis? Gutted, no more Oasis then I guess, they were one of my favourite bands.

I feel sick, sooo many good memories and gigs seeing Oasis over the years.

This is the worst day ever.

Corholio · 29-08-2009 1:25pm

Im a fan of Oasis and Bloc Party, and i find that hilarious from Kele. Lets be honest, Oasis have given some grief to them down the years, so Oasis are fair game when it comes to this.

I love how when someone says anything bad about Oasis, in response their poor albums are suddenly boosted to "fantastic" status by the fans, come on theyve had some poor albums sprinkled with good songs, but shocking albums all the same.

Bloc Party are nothing but a bunch of self-obsessed aspie soloists pretending to be a band, led by a pathetic post-colonial pastiche who thinks he's a black Morrissey.

They're pretty good.

Great post man, Also find it strange that the people knocking Oasis agree that the 1st 2 albums were great, but then they use the argument it was just the same after that, well if something is the same as something that was great then what is the problem? Greatest band since The Beatles, will be missed by millions. Any comments made by ****e bands are irrelevant. Oasis kicked the ****ing door down for guitar bands and if bloc party, kol, the killers or any of the **** that has appeared since were to split i don't think anyone would give a **** or even notice. Oasis we're and are far more important to people than any other band in music.

Live Forever

I think Its a real shame and the end of an era for music... I'd say Liam was a ****ebag to work with

as for Kele from block party everybody knows their a bunch of posh pretentious tossers and that little reel there says as much

Oasis 1992 - 2009 gonna live foooooooreeeeever!

fingerbob · 29-08-2009 1:54pm

Still can't believe they're done, I'd have been quite happy with them going on forever as they still churn out some great tunes and theres nothin like an oasis gig (minus the pints of piss). Noel solo career would be great for a while but Liam's presence on stage (when he's there) would be sorely missed, I'd imagine after a few years Noel will be dyin to get back on the road with them, although him and Liam really need to sort stuff out. Don't think Liam has ever seen Noel's 2 year old kid?

p.s. don't think bloc party should be mentioned in the same breathe as Oasis. Oasis are the band of a generation, bloc party don't come anywhere near that type of status.

enola/alone · 29-08-2009 2:13pm

Still can't believe it myself either. Its a shame really. Still though, glad I got to see them in Slane and the Point. As for Bloc Party's Kele whateverhisnameis, they'll never be half the band Oasis are, and he knows this. No band has caused as big a stir as Oasis did. They are deserving holders of the top two albums of all time, as voted by the people, published in Q magazine.

Oasis - RIP

Personally I can't tell the difference between them, Hard Fi, The Kooks and every other generic indie band out right now.

Oasis split
