- Countless people have called for an Oasis reunion since the band collapsed in 2009, so why isn't it happening... and is there hope that it might?

What kinda a childish comment is that ? Sad act

Spoiler aler: it was not too late
Lucky enough to have seen them live in '95 (Glastonbury) and '96 (Knebworth). Once more for luck would please a lot of people, but can you ever really recapture the magic?
You’re very man
No it would be just a nostalgia act. Noel is actually making music for creative sake. Liam is just trying to resurrect the old times.
See my above comment dude!
I caught them them the first time 3 weeks after Knebworth. Top show.
I think if they did reunite they'd sell out Knebworth for a week. The demand has never been higher but if it gets past 2025 it'll die down, Noel Gallagher knows that better than anyone.
Well, they’re back. Everything is possible.
This is such a fantastic retrospective encompassing the entirety of Oasis and their ups and downs. Excellent job man. 40+ mins....This flew by so quickly!
Man I'm loving Liam's solo stuff lately, I'm honestly not too worried if Oasis do get back together. It might be best to leave well enough alone, they achieved monumental things. Why overstay your welcome? Now we get two great bands releasing music instead of one, Liam and Noel's. However, I do hope for both Liam's and Noel's sake they one day fix things though and become brothers again. That being said I would still be excited if they did decide to give it another go, especially now Liam's voice sounds great again.
My sentiments exactly, you wrote that well. They're both doing great as "solo" artists, so the best thing would be to just let them both do their own thing as far as music goes.
I feel like Liam's new stuff suits him more. He's not the same singer as when he was 20 years old his voice has changed. His new stuff is great and he's pulling it off
I agree 100% with this Parfitt95, best to leave well enough alone. Based on what James talks about in this video it is clear any reunion attempt would produce nothing but disappointment and disaster. Noel as usual is right, just let it go. They have made one of the most significant contributions to rock ever just be happy with it and move on.
I don't think they will reform but if at some point they get back onto speaking terms again and being brothers, even if not massively, maybe a one off gig at some point may happen.
Agreed!
Bonehead should be the frontman, singing backwards in arabic, in falsetto while clapping poly rythm, Liam on tuba, guigs on banjo, Alan White on harp and noel as a dancer and they should call themselves: 'Potasis' and only playing techno backwards at twice the speed
And a Blur song.
I'd want this more than an oasis reunion
we've all had a bit of fun in the comments, haven't we
@@1292liam 😂
@@61subsandnovideos Me too 🤯
When I was younger, I wished for a reunion. Now I'm older, I realize they're better on their own
I agree
Nah I still want a temporary reunion. Few big shows and a new record, then they go their separate ways again.
Really? Someone who knows the proper uses of there?! Unreal.
@@craigsanderson4330 in this case you can use, use or uses as there more than two.
@@craigsanderson4330 he used the form of there, their, they’re twice. Therefore you can use, use or uses or even usage.
It’s pretty simple. Me and my brother were both raised in a very abusive household. VERY ABUSIVE!!! We have always loved each other and would do many things together, but the truth is that each others presence would constantly remind us of our trauma and as we got older this became a major issue. We would fight over the most mundane shit, until one day, we blew up, said terrible things and it came to blows. We didn’t talk for 6 years. Finally, both of our wives got us together and demanded we get therapy. It took another 4 years before we could be comfortable around each other. I was eldest and dealt with the majority of our father’s abuse, but both of us suffered many terrible things. We are now on good terms, spend lots of time together and our families do many activities together. We aren’t rock stars or people in the news on a mass scale, yet it still effected our relationship. These guys need intensive therapy and I’m not sure either will ever admit it.
I can almost guarantee they won’t admit it. They are both incredibly stubborn.
Thanks for sharing met. The older I get the more I realize how much our environment shapes us. Glad you’re enjoying your baby bro now. Cheers mate.
@@mumbles215Thanks for your reply. Strangely enough, they are now reunited and are doing a tour next year. Even though he said it countless times they are talking and getting along. 😂 👊🏽
Not gonna happen. At this point it shouldn’t happen. Appreciate it for what it was…A brilliant moment in time.
I wholeheartedly agree....🤘
"There is nothing to miss. The whole thing was fun. One should not be sad that it is over.....but just glad that it once was." - Joe Zawinul on the passing of Jaco Pastorius
That's how i feel about Oasis.
either Noel sells the rights to Oasis and retires on a super yacht somewhere or the smell of money for a last tour brings Noel around
it could,if both grew up a bit.
They should just stay well away from each other - they’ve done enough. You can choose your friends etc
I think you should look into Liams life after Oasis. Beady Eye, divorce and comeback. I know the movie is about that, but it didn't really say much of anything and go into detail like you do. Would be really interesting!
Movie idea: Obsessive fan abducts Noel and Liam, threatens to kill other hostages on the hour until they agree to a Reunion. Hilarity ensues.
Even then I don't think Noel would agree to it. He may agree to a one-off gig in a five hundred capacity venue, if his Wife and kids plus Paul Weller and family were on a plane with fifteen minutes to go before hitting the World Trade Centre. It would still be a close call. And he would probably insist in playing the songs locked inside the transit by himself.
That was almost the plot for Shoplifters about the smiths
What Noel said about Dave Grohl was disgusting and completely unnecessary.
I lost a chunk of respect for him for that
Now would be the best time if anything, Liam’s voice sounds the best it has in years
Ya it's amazing how Liam sounds better now then he did 20 years ago
No it wouldnt at ALL LOL. Definitely Maybe is coming up on 30 years in 2024... Morning Glory the year after... Maybe you dont know how touring works, which is fair, but.... to create a massive tour 2 YEARS before MAJOR anniversaries start happening (which means special edition re-issues, and allll of the stuff that goes with it) would be idiotic, as a tour's main job is to promote a product of some kind.. I cant see a new album coming, so with that, the BEST time to start the ball rolling, not even the shows, but simply the announcement, promo, n tix going on sale, would be approx 6 months before the 30 year anniversary of when it all began, Definitely Maybe, which would be SUMMER of 2024, n then they could STAY on the road, promoting re-issues of that one etc ALL THE WAY until October 95, the 30th of Morning Glory, and keep going on another re-issue romp for another year or more, soaking it alllll up. I'd make the announcement n start promo campaign in December 2023, and would be hitting the road by May or June, creating hype n momentum for the Definitely Maybe re-release shenanigans, n with my plan, could keep it going globally for 3 years at least. And believe me, these factors are a major consideration when talking tours of this importance, status, and size. Squeeze every possible drop out of the opportunity. So to start NOW, in spring 2022? Makes no strategic sense whatsoever, on any level. \m/
The Eagles announced their reunion, n quickly had an unplugged companion album to sell and promote on the tour.. GnR announced their reunion in 2016, by mid 2017 Appetite For Destruction special editions came.... N since, they've kept dropping things periodically. This was all part of the plan. To not do it this way would 100% downsize the entire thing, and I believe Noel and Liam would have 0 interest in reconnecting in a downsized format... lol
@@cessxiii I didn’t literally mean right this second in spring 2022, just now as in ‘the next upcoming years’. But that doesn’t mean another 10 years though either.
Can you honestly see Noel letting Liam take centre stage again? Not a chance, he’s to proud and stubborn. Noel’s lifestyle is a million miles away from Liam’s, I mean come on ffs Russel brand was his best man at his wedding. He’s a toff.
I actually wrote a comment on oasismaniaoffial’s post a year or so ago which Liam actually ended up responding to.
I wrote something about an Oasis reunion wouldn’t be a great idea. The public image/reputation of the band around the DOYS album (2007-2009 era) was really not great and I didn’t wish the bad rep would re-emerge if the band went back into the public. Right now Oasis has a healthy reputation because of the past (like other bands that cease to exist)
Liam ended up responding to my comment saying “Nobody’s asking you so sit down zip it”
I might have hit a soft spot 🤷🏼♂️
Anyway I’ve got the comment printed and framed on my wall lol
Cheers and thank you for the constant Oasis mini documentaries James! You really seem to deliver the bigger picture unlike others!
@@user-oh7iv3ij5x I know for a fact that it’s Liam. You get a special message when a official profile comments.
Dumb reply by Liam , but who the fuck cares about reputation?
Im backing liam 😂
q
You hit a nerve because you were right. And Liam is in denial of this fact.
Noel is stubborn/determined, and it's that stubbornness/determination that made Oasis, it's that stubbornness/determination that got him off drugs and it's that stubbornness/determination that will never let Oasis reform.
When he puts his mind to something, he does it. He's a pretty Randian figure
He also admires Paul Weller and Morrissey, two men who only look forward with their music. Liam and Noel might make amends, but I'd be shocked if Noel got Oasis back together
There’s also Liam being someone so dark and monstrous in his own mind he would insult his own niece, in order to insult his brother.
For £100m let’s see how stubborn Noel is
Rand is one of my fav writers, though this is the first time I see her name as in a positive sentence. It really motivated me. You are right about Noel.
It's poetic it's about my fav musician of all time!!! The Chief is The Chief!
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 lmao mate he doesn't need the cash, he's already worth 70 million 😅
Forget oasis. They need to reconcile as brothers before one of them or their mother (god forbid) passes. Nobody need to live out their days with that level of regret. It’s enough to age you early
That’s exactly how I feel as well. I don’t care if Oasis reunite but they need to make up, at least for the sake of their mother. I believe they will regret it if they don’t do it before she passes on (which I hope won’t happen soon)
Well the stone roses reunited after they gathered together for Reni's mother funeral. I'm afraid same thing will eventually happen with the Gallaghers.
I've never seen the point in them getting back together.
The music was no way near as good as in the early days.
That final tour was miserable. Nobody wants a repeat of that.
Don't be sad because it's over, be happy because it happened.
i think there is so much to this story, because the way the media went after Liam clearly affected him. The media would often play up their fights and make jokes about it so much that it became part of every interview. Noel would often make jokes about leaving the band which would upset Liam and make him think Noel was conspiring with the media.
But there’s also times noel has called out the press for hounding Liam. I don’t think it’s all on liam for what caused the rift in their relationship. I feel for Noel deeply, but it’s so clear his brother was struggling badly with the press. You can look back at old interviews of liam and see how laid back he is. Despite the bad blood, there clearly is a lot of love between them.
ANYONE 27.08.24 !?
Isn't Catholicism in need of a serious change. I'm tempted to write a more scathing attack but I appreciate the church has a place in society. To persuade couples to stay together through abusive relationships is utterly outdated.
Bonehead, McCarroll, Guigsy and the two Gallagher knobheads are the only line up - Definitely Maybe and What’s the Story are the only albums they have to play songs off cos the other albums are complete shite. End of.
Bollocks.
ok, bro.
*Dismissive wanking gesture*
The only Oasis reunion that I'd want is their original 1994 lineup with Bonehead, Guigsy and McCarroll
Me too.
Definitely won't be mccarroll, Alan White 100%
Alan instead of Tony
Honestly an Oasis reunion seems incredibly unattractive these days. In my opinion, there's no point if no new music is being made and Noel's drastic change in songwriting just wouldn't cut it. The days of Oasis as we knew them are long gone. It seems like the closest thing you'll ever get now is Liam himself, he seems to be Oasis' legacy and as Noel admitted himself, he's the one who keeps the spark alive.
Seeing them together again is like asking your toxic ex-girlfriend for a date…
How many people would have loved to see the Beatles live again , John and George have passed so it can’t happen
These boys are still with us and Noel says it not happening, ask Paul and Ringo if they wish the Beatles could have one more gig
Make it happen boys 🙏🙏
@ghost mall you must be joking, it would be Brilliant 🤩
Well said, John 💯
No wonder Noel has come to love Damon Albarn. Damon and Noel have the same drive and Damon really respects the craft that Noel and he share. Damon is a warm person and very caring and I think Noel has experienced an embrace from Damon that is kind of brotherly.
Maybe they should go On a date.
Given their constant arguments and violence, it’s amazing they stayed together as long as they did.
The comeback would have to be the original oasis🎸🥁 not
Liam and Noel with session musicians 🤮
I always wondered why Foo Fighters always performed with Liam on stage, but not with Noel...after watching Noel speaking about Foo Fighters, now I understand
Liam is pretty chill, noel kinda grumpy
@@ogabugabedj1977 did u watch any of this video?
To be honest, I don't care for Oasis reunion anymore. Liam is still at it. I dare to say that some tunes from his new catalogue are even better than Oasis. Noel.. Well, he fell into some weird Coldplay trap but I mean, if he's happy there then let him be there.
ok, Liam did a lot of shitty things, but I think you're trying to present this Barcelona argument completely backwards.
It was Noel who beat Liam up, not the other way round, yet you're trying to present Liam as the abuser. I don't care what he said, nothing justifies physical violence.
I have not heard a single story about Liam getting violent on Noel, but just in this video you have mentioned two examples of Noel physically assaulting Liam (during the recording sessions and during the cancelled gig).
Their relationship was clearly toxic from both sides, Noel was just as abusive as Liam. Perhaps even more so, given that he seems to be the only one to have actually beaten the other up repeatedly 😢
James: Could you do a video on why Oasis took a 3 year break after the Be Here Now tour, what the band members did during this break, how the British music landscape had changed during this time and what/how the band had changed once they returned in 2000
Yes please
I think he kinda did one already
@@theselector4733 Thank you, can you pinpoint us to a specific video? Live Forever;)
So much changed. Bonehead & Guigsy left the band, Creation Records went under. They sacked Owen Morris and quit Microdot…
WHY?
@@rivermintofficial It's on his page. I can't remember if the title of the video specifically pinpoints this subject in particular but it talks about in a general sense ie. How Britpop kinda died down from 97' - 2000. And the reasons behind it.
I read that Noel admitted that what caused the final fight was Liam giving him a gift of clothing from his new line and Noel donating the clothes to a gift shop. Resulting inLiam seeing his new line of clothes on a thrift shop dummy before they went on sale to the public. Liam called Noel out and asked why he didn’t just give the clothes back to Liam. Noel knew how to push Liam’s buttons and could be very hurtful.
I don't understand Foo Fighters' reasoning for why Oasis should reunite. They shouldn't do anything because fans or anyone else wants them to. If THEY don't want to reunite, then don't. It's just a dumb argument. Also, I don't understand the Liam resurgence at all!!! I only heard the first album but couldn't even remember it the next day. The songs were just ok. Nothing special. And does he still not write his songs? He co writes with others? I don't get it.
I love what Noel is doing currently. I love Oasis madly and I'm American, but sometimes what's best for the fans is not what's best for the band.
It's not about what the fans want. It's about what the Gallaghers want......and they don't want it.
END OF STORY
Liam's new music is miles better though.
Stones Roses split again after re uniting 20 years on.Its up to Noel Gallagher but he doesnt want the old hassles he had with his brother.They done good when they started.After 13 years nah,cant see it for the reasons you said.
@@westendaggro Nah,but if you think that,ok.
@@brianmorecombe2726 Okie Dokie!!!
I just got tickets to N2 Cardiff. See you there! :)
It's also important to note that post 2019, no major grenades have been thrown from either side - Liam truly has become more peaceful and zen so the hope only grows
The only way Oasis will tour again is if Liam apologises to Noel for the appalling things he said about Noels family (not gonna happen)....and someone throws half a billion £ at them...even then it won't be the original lineup....nice try James...but no cigar.
Oasis is my favorite band and my biggest inspiration for learning guitar and making music. it's a shame I had never heard of them until after they had already split up. It'd be my dream come true to see them live together
Oasis are abit like guns n roses i found. A front man who is brilliant but not band friendly and a lead guitarist who just wants to play rock n roll. Axl and liam are similar in alot of ways
You're a legend mate, love your videos. You put some much time and effort into them, this one was great. You deserve way more subs.
Dave and Taylor are such big fans of Oasis. Noel's answer was totally bad.. you don't talk shit to your fans. The fucking drummer from Nirvana is one of the coolest rock musicians out there. Noel should have been respectful. Liam would have appreciated Foo Fighters missing Oasis
2 years later, not too late!
I love James, but I can't help but feel this is just him saying Noel is a saint and put up with his brother Liam for 20 years
@@Scarfmefatherwore Agree…James is a massive Noel fanboy lol
"Because we need each other. We believe in one another. And I know we're gonna uncover, what's sleeping in our soul."
Great content. But the guy is super Noel biased.
So is reality
Noel is the kind of guy who say's he did all the work, but then doesn't let anybody do any of the other job then to play their parts at a concert or a record.
Why does everyone want an empty reunion? It would be for nothing but money
There's no point in a reunion. Oasis accomplished everything they could have possibly done. They're still huge. The legacy is as good as it can be right now with the Supersonic and Knebworth films. Leave it as it was.
Who's here after the news? 🙌
I signed the petition and it looks like the Foo Fighters are FINALLY gonna break up!
I do wish they become friends again even though that's a long shot. I am really not fussed on an Oasis reunion as I am enjoying both of their solo music! Liam hasn't said anything towards Noel's family for 3 years now and in recent interviews and ever since his second solo album I feel like he is comfortable with what he is currently doing. He has said some kind things to Noel aswell in recent years but the occasional dig is still there haha
Great video. But what an utter shit show. I'm with Noel though, even if Liam may or may not be coming from a place of anger issues relating to childhood, you can't just forgive the targeting of your family. Liam seems to have a heart, in private but he needs to grow up. In a way I don't think he has come massively out of Noel's shadow, great success which is good, but from the odd set list I've seen the lions share are Oasis songs written by Noel. He has enough of his own songs to justify most of them being his own. But I'm sure this is becuase of his love and nostalgia for Oasis, and I can't fault him for that.
I was at the V Festival where Oasis were due to play. I’ll never forget the absolute disappointed and frustration that went through the arena section as the big screens informed everyone that due to ‘illness’ they would no longer be playing and Snow Patrol would be headlining. I actually thought ‘fuck this’, stumbled back to my tent in my drunken, sunburnt state, picked up a couple of things and left the site to go home. Left basically everything there (including the people I went with) and got the coach from the site to Chelmsford train station.
I was there as well. Snow patrol shouldnt of had the headline spot as their music is too melow...
Who in the UK would’ve heard about Oasis playing to 300 Dutch fans if the ferry incident didn’t happen? Sibling Rivalry charted ffs, it made everyone in the Uk give a fuck and pick a side. Genius
I’m sorry but he’s clearly on Noel’s side 🤦🏾♂️ not saying Liam was right but it’s not fair to put all the blame on him
This is an L
Judging ticket sales I'd say Liam won. Doing much better without cap'n Noel dulling things up.
Saw them from 5 feet away during a live TV show taping. Noel was absolutely the band leader and the cheerleader.
Never had the stage presence or voice of Liam though
@@tomben6180 whataboutism™️
@@Dude0000 I don’t think you know the definition of “whataboutism”. I’m directly challenging this guys point that Noel was the focal point of the band live - it was in fact in Liam, whose voice made the live performances what they were.
@@tomben6180 it was about Noel leading the band musically, not about leading the crowd. You changed the subject from Noel to Liam, which is whataboutism.
@@Dude0000 How do you know? He said Noel was the “band leader and the cheerleader” - whilst in the context of being at a live performance.
It was absolutely Liam who was the bands cheerleader, he was the voice of Oasis and the person who led the live performances.
They should NOT reunite. Oasis was about being young, about youth and represented a time. And what we should remember is they outlasted The Beatles, Sex Pistols and Nirvana and managed to be a 'big' and massively successful band for longer than any of those bands. What Oasis achieved I doubt no other rock band could ever match. So they've had their time. It would just be about Noel doing it for the money and not for the right reasons
Why would anyone want to get Oasis back?
C'mon lads, speaking from a hardcore Oasis supporter who've seen them all around the world several times, met them personally- Oasis changed my life. We have Definitely Maybe, Morning Glory, all the masterpieces B- Sides from that era, great stuff on Be Here Now, SOTSOG, HC and their fantastic B- Sides.
We now all know that the last couple of records were not really historical albums to say the least. They have some nice moments but a lot of average stuff. You're probably not gonna get another epic material even if Oasis got back together tonight. Noel ran his course as a songwriter and Liam is way passed his prime and good vocal years.
What do you expect to get from a reunion? Wanna be snugged in a stadium/field floor with no room to breath let alone stand just so you could hear Slide Away played by these guys again? Let me save it for you. You don't really need it.
You want good music? be inspired by Oasis and go on to write music yourselves. Form your own bands and write your own songs. The world would much benefit from that and so would you, regarding the shitty situation the music industry is at right now.
It is what is is brothers.
Amen brother
A wonderful post buddy, and new, original music is definitely a cause James is getting behind. For a snapshot of just how shitty the music industry, see Rick Beato's vid on the Top 10 Pop Songs chart.
I agree. Although I personally think they should've split up a few years earlier than they did. Legacy-wise.
@@neilsun2521 years earlier. Liam's voice was garbage for years
I think what most people mean when they say “Oasis reunion” is a few one off live shows like Led Zeppelin or a tour. I don’t think many want them to be an actual band again.
That was horribly slanted.
They could certainly reunite and the world would flip out…
A reunion would truly suck. LIam is doing great stuff solo and seems the happiest guy on earth, Noel is living amongst celebrity as he always wanted. They should make peace tough.
I‘d love to hear you dissect the relationship between Noel and Andy
I was a massive Oasis fan back in the day, but even I don't give a shit anymore.
Well, it's happened :)
Very interesting document, the abused, becomes the abuser. I don't think oasis will perform together again, but I think alot of money could be made from a one off gig.
The question is getting old. Not all the parties want to get back together.
Noel and Liam inspired me to try to get along better with my own sisters despite our differences and age gaps. I see myself in them, being working class and having an alcoholic father, even though I'm not even from the UK. Music and art were my escape from reality. My personality is more like Liam's, while my older sister is my Noel. I absolutely idolized her when I was a teenager, wondering how she could be so put together and well spoken. As we got older, I thought that I had lost my best friend and expected her to come to me and apologize. Growing up is realizing that it goes both ways, apologizes and reunions.
Hey James, another cracking vid, can you do one on guigsy post oasis, there’s just nothing out there on him, but I’m sure you can dig up something 😅I’ve been learning acoustic guitar and writing songs and absolutely loving it🤟,I’ve uploaded a couple on a crappy phone, can you have a listen and give me some tips. ✌️.Love And Light Brother.
Anais is unquestionably Noel's daughter😆
As a massive fan myself I always do get sick and tired of about the multiple posts about a reunion when it's never been happening but more importantly I think they should get back together as brothers but again the toxic behaviour of Liam and Noel's honesty just made it very difficult. Yet alone I don't blame Noel for not making it happen after what he and Liam went through and I do think they are better off in a separate space of their own but I feel sorry for Peggy. Also I've been very inspired by your videos and you've done amazing content and for me being a fan of the band your knowledge is amazing.
Oasis should not reform. They were gods in the 90's / 00's but we only think they're still gods because we never got to see how they would evolve. I don't think bands do as well when they reform and I think its great they both have awesome solo careers but a reformed oasis should not happen to protect their legacy! Its like the Smiths, around for a relatively short time, made a huge impact on the industry and faded out at the height of their success!
I’m in Adelaide, Australia. While watching this video, I could hear a band in a local club playing a cover of Don’t Look Back in Anger. Oasis is still relevant as ever.
I’m in Brisbane, QLD. I hear ya mate!
From Sydney I work in a pub and we get people covering wonderwall & dont look back in anger pretty often.
At the end of the day Liam & Noel’s relationship is pretty much the same as loads of brothers in families in Manchester, we live on council estates, falling out with each other, kicking off with each other regularly and kicking the fuck out of each other, slagging each other off, we all act like nob heads thinking we’re right, getting into trouble, getting wasted, drinking & taking drugs, it’s 80% of brothers I know living across Manchester.
As for the band Oasis had there time, achieving worldwide success selling millions of records and selling out gigs to thousands across the globe, they did it for along time and over time it takes its tole, gets repetitious and boring, some would carry on while many would call it a day, move on and try new things, that would depend on how strong or broken your personal family relationship is.
They some catchy tunes that I don’t mind and quite like so I wouldn’t say a hate Oasis, but they were pretty shite and over rated, Manc’s who play in bands are similar in lots of ways and cool as fuck, just many people from other towns & cities seem to love the Manc musician charisma cos it is the best city to live with a brilliant music culture and being part of it being a musician playing in bands in Manchester is and has been a top way to live your life as I have for over 30yrs and still do. I’m glad Noel says they won’t get back together cos I don’t want them to, it’s always a bad idea,when bands do get back together it never lives up to all the hype and is never what fans expect and ends up being a flop.
Who fucking cares that much that they want and plead for them to reform, they were just and Manchester band who came along at the right time, there’s plenty of other Manchester bands much better gone before Oasis and still playing now cos Manchester will always produce great music, too bands who are cool.
Where are you James? I HOPE YOU'RE ON IT WITHIN DAYS!😉
New video went up today
@JamesHargreavesGuitar
Watching now mate!🖖
I genuinely hope it doesn't happen. There's a certain part of music that will always be about youth and energy. I've no desire to pretend I'm 21 anymore..
No- we don’t need it. We didn’t really need the Roses reunion either. It would tarnish memories for me. You can’t repeat that energy you get from youth and the times- revisiting that would just undermine it for me. However, the counter is that youth today don’t have any of this- and perhaps they need it?!?.
You produce brilliantly presented videos mate, I'm not and never been much into Oasis (sorry) but your deep dives in the way you unpack the dynamics and pace things are really compelling to watch, you deserve good things James
Couldn't have put it better myself. Spot on. Well said 👏 👌 👍
I love Oasis but don’t want a reunion, but I do want them to be brothers again.
Yeah, if only for the sake of their mam.
I absolutely love these analysis type videos, really informative. Can’t wait for the next one!
This has aged rather interestingly
Noel, being older than Dave, calls him "Uncle Dave"
XD
Rip Taylor Hawkins
James thank you very much for the Oasis historical background you provide in this video. You have done a number of these and you have done a great job with all of them. It is kind of depressing to me tho. It plays back old tapes from my own childhood/adolescence, Catholic church and upbringing, authoritarian old school father, etc. That leads me to my own conclusions regarding the two brothers.
But first let me ask you what do you hope to get from a reunion? And realistically how do you think it is possible? These two are carrying around a lot of garbage with them that has built up from the deep past which you allude to in the video. What would be required to start a joint cleansing for the two? I am not a psychologist but it would seem there would need to be some kind of professional help required to get thru all that past BS going back to childhood. Not easy.
Can you imagine those two in the studio or practice sessions now? Noel had complete control in the Oasis days. Is that going to be the case now? The situation would seem to be highly instable. Just one little thing to provoke a memory of the past and then what do you have?
Noel's right James IMHO. He sees the situation for what it is: a huge likelihood of disaster and disappointment and he is not inclined to to give in to fans wet dreams about a reunion just to go through that. At least IMHO.
But hey James this is not meant to be a criticism just an opinion! You do a great job with this and as a relatively recent Oasis fan I greatly appreciate your work and insights on this remarkable group.
This aged well
It won’t happen, Noels gone down the Weller route of splitting up a legendary rock band and sticking to his guns by not getting them back together.Faor play I say, if you were there you were there 👌
The Jam was hard to take / it was on the cards anyway - oasis went on far to long and people would still have em back lol
It'll happen in 2025 or it'll never happen. Liam tweeting 99 problems by Jay-Z sure isn't helping things, lol
I'd like to mention that Zane Lowe clip. Lowe is one of the most lazy, condescending and tone deaf interviewers. He consistently holds interviews with musicians as if he's their equal and it's excruciating to watch. He always chimes in with his personal thoughts on the person he's interviewing, and that's a cover for Lowe's laziness and lack of preparation for the interview.
Check his interview with Anthony from RHCP .. you can see Anthony looking at him thinking "where's he going here with his cod psychology.."
The only difference between Anthony and Noel is Anthony being American is very conscious that the interview is about the band and out of sheer American manners, just listened and put up with Lowe's rattling on.
Noel on the other hand just cut him short 'Can I just stop you there .." I absolutely loved it when Noel put that jaded hack in his place. You could see Lowes face .. scrambling for a claw back. Just goes to show how lazy and out of touch Lowe is.
I agree. Zane Lowe is an absolute clown. I watched his recent one with Jack White and Zane seems to be under the illusion that he's an artist on equal standing with White, despite never creating a single note of music in his life.
@@S3aChange He has made music as an early exponent of NZ and Polynesian Hip Hop (cf. Urban Disturbance - No Flint No Flame it's right here on TH-cam). I mean, it wasn't *good* but it was an important step in NZ Hip Hop and the eventual emergence of a uniquely Urban Pacific style.
@@because_the_internet breaks co op? Haha what a load of flan. New bleeding Zealand hip hop? Who cares zzzz
I'm sorry but an oasis reunion won't happen. I'm am one of the lucky ones in my generation that got to see oasis live many times including knebworth. They done what they had to do, and even if they did get back together they wouldn't be the same anymore. I do get why the younger generation wants them to get back because they never got the chance to see them live and that's totally understandable. But the fact is noel is done, unless they were completely skint and needed cash then I could see a possibility but even then it would be a maybe. Tbh there's more chance of us all flying to the moon on a bike than a oasis reunion. Let the past go, what's done is done. If you were there at there gigs the memories will last forever if you weren't then enjoy watching noel and Liam while there still here.
Noel has the patience of a saint. I certainly hope there's no reunion. They're both great on their own. Long live the High Flying Birds.
Yeah Liam may have killed any chance of a reunion w/ his actions but my guess is that Tony, Guigsy, Bonehead & Whitey all we’re out of the band one way or another b/c of Noel. The only one he couldn’t kick out or make leave was Liam. Noel is no angel.
In the last interview Noel did with Chris Evans in last September he said that he was happy that Liam was keeping the Oasis legacy alive. He talked really well about him and I was quite surprised about that. He also mentioned that Oasis was his biggest achievement but it's part of the past but no one knows what can happen in the future. And he ended up saying "it's good that Liam's Twitter rant is at peace. Hope it keeps like that" He clearly likes that Liam is not insulting him or his family lately. I think that from 2019 up to now they haven't insulted each other. What I want the most is that they can be brothers again. Their mom deserves it.
_Dig Out Your Soul_ is easily fourth best, almost third, but those last three tracks are a really meh way to end their legacy. It just doesn't feel like a proper final album. One more album that aims for a really high bar (and begins and ends with Noel tracks; what the fuck were they thinking?!) would be cool. Fuck it, dig into Noel's vast 90s archive of unrecorded/unreleased stuff if you must, as long as it's good.
If Noel and Liam can mend fences, too, obviously.
If it were to happen, I would imagine it will take place in 2024/25 to celebrate 30 years of definitely maybe/morning glory. Noel and Liam weren’t returning because they love each other , it’ll be a pure money grab. My hope would be them being friendly to each other or actually being brothers, ideally before their mom passed away.
It's on now, mate. I hope the band come to Australia.
Noel’s the bully
I don't know how you could watch a 40 minute video explaining several instances where Liam was the abusive one and come to the conclusion he's the bully. Yeah right.
@@doctorrobert1339 the aggressor isn’t always the bully, mind games and controlling is also a form of bullying, which Noel as unfairly learnt from his abusive father
He’s always put his brother down, made out he’s not good enough not talented
I should’ve probably put Noel is a bully also
as a singer songwriter/frontman I KNOW what its like to write 95% of the music, book the gigs, call the record companies, organise 5 guys to get there arses to rehearsal and then had to sing play guitar and be the fronyman while the guitarist just had to hold down a few chords. I totally understand Noel. ALL LIAM DID WAS SING. Didnt even have to carry a fookin guitar. Liam is a knob. Hes not funny. Noels wit devestates his. Oasis were boring anyway. Although theyve written some amazing songs.
Liam found his apologetic spirit in For What It's Worth
That was aimed at Gene really for cheating on Nat (his mum) and partly for her I imagine. Just all that mess and likely including past pain for family such as those impacted by him cheating on Patsy.
There is absolutely no need for a reunion. Their best songs have been written, their best concerts have been played, all former band members are in their 50s, so it won't get any better than 25 years ago. Oasis would just become another nostalgic band like Kiss and the Eagles did when reuniting back in 1996. This means playing old hits to old fans and releasing some mediocre new albums now and then, which nobody really needs. Better demand a decent release of the '97 G-Mex show on Blu-ray. Watching this would be much more fun than a disappointing and disillusioning reunion tour of an aging band. The attempt of reviving a long gone era always fails. Don't ruin the legacy.
No it isn’t too late! It’s never too late! Noel is a great songwriter and Liam is a great front man. Most importantly though, Oasis is greater than the sum of its parts and I would travel for weeks on horse back to watch Oasis play live again.
