Oasis count the cost of axed shows
(Monday August 31, 2009 12:26 AM)
Oasis are set to continue rocking without main songwriter Noel Gallagher - after it emerged his bust-up with brother Liam has already cost the band almost £5 million.
Guitarist Noel quit the Wonderwall hitmakers in a rage on Friday evening after a backstage brawl with his sibling at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, France.
The band axed the two remaining dates on the tour - in Konstanz, Germany, and Milan, Italy - and Noel returned to the UK while Liam fled to Lake Como, Italy for a break with his wife Nicole Appleton and Oasis bass player Andy Bell.
The cancellations have cost the band an estimated £4.75 million in appearance fees and sales of merchandise.
And latest reports in the UK suggest the warring brothers could battle each other for the right to use the name "Oasis" amid rumours Liam plans to keep the band going without his brother.

If Liam keep the band together, eventually Noel will be back, even if not, i dont mind, that means we'll get a full album from Noel and a full album from Liam, Gem and Andy!

full album from Liam, Gem and Andy! which will absolutely ruin Oasis' name I say give it a chance. Nothing would be greater than a kickass album from a new re-invented Oasis along with a kickass solo album from Noel.

well i can see this going wrong. I personally wouldnt watch a band called oasis unless it consisted of both gallaghers, there both needed. if liam won and played without noel it wouldnt be the same.

On one hand there could be some positives if Liam keeps it going with the other guys. He could be motivated for the band to sound better than Noel and try extra hard to improve his voice and be open to new and different ideas.
On the other hand, he could take it to the max and turn into Axl Rose -- becoming such a perfectionist to show everyone else up that he works on his "masterpiece" of an album for 15 years and finally releases it, only for everyone to laugh him off.

It's inevitable that Liam with keep using the Oasis name and tour with Andy and Gem. He is the only founding member after all. It's a bit of a crime but there is nothing to be done.

If he keeps the band going, Noel will be more inclined to join.
If the band completely dissipates, then it's gonna be a minimal chance of them coming back.
I don't want anything released by Oasis without Noel involved, but as long as the other members stick together, there's a chance Noel will come back.....

I dont really care too much whether anyone else is/isn't involved but I think it would be sad and wouldn't seem right Oasis without both Gallaghers.
Am I the only one who wouldn't mind seeing a Liam solo album (get some quality in the studio with him), imo Liam's recent tunes have been great.

I'm counting days to see Oasis without Noel. Only for music.

Liam run oasis. He can't even run his life.
That guy is and has always been a prat.
He will ruin the oasis legacy if he carries on.

i will for sure support them. no one man is bigger than the band. noel said it himself. liam has said the same. plus it was liams band anyway. (yes i know noel wrote all the stuff in the first few albums. that isn't my point) so no doubt he'll be able to keep using the name.
i loved all them songs pre-noel back in the day.
colour my life. take me. see the sun. must be the music. better let you know. etc
all written by liam and the old oasis.
so yep. carry on liam. carry on noel. the more music during this messed up time, the better.
