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."

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.

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.

Excellent news.

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.
