Listening to this video really does make me think we’re in for new music this side of Christmas with a new album in feb. Assuming wildly that there is some truth in the Super Bowl leak, there would be no other reason to do it other than for publicity. With the live dates surely out there come that time why else would they bother with it other than to shift some stock stateside

New James Hargreaves video 'How the Oasis Reunion Happened.... (and what's coming next?) Decent video actually! Some of it (the tweet about him being the bollocks being code for something for instance) is nonsense imo but yeah the rest of it was good)

If you can't stand the way Alan White played songs from DM, wait until you hear Zak. Chris Sharrock is the only post-Tony drummer to really "get" Rock N Roll Star. And Chris rocks more than Tony. But I still think Alan is way better than Zak on that song. Overall I think Chris did a much better job than Zak covering the classic catalogue of Oasis songs and would be an excellent choice for the reunion. That said, Alan was, imo, THE Oasis drummer and it'd be great to have him on the kit. After Steve White's recent comment about Noel, though, I don't see it happening. I think Noel feels a bit guilty about the Alan situation and purposely ignores his importance. The fact is WTSMG could not be what it is without Alan. You could have switched out Guigsy and Bonehead (and I love those guys' contributions to the band) for other players on that record and it would still be what it is. But without Noel, Liam, AND Alan, it's just not WTSMG. In that Gibson interview I believe Noel even says that every time Alan hear's the drum full in Don't Look Back in Anger he's probably proud. Noel knows. I agree. The band wanting Zak back is just Noel and his Beatles fandom getting the better of him. Could be forgiven for run of the mill tours in the mid 2000s but for a reunion of this scale and importance, it's a bit of a joke. Its common sense that you'd get Whitey back as he was part of the iconic era and more importantly played a major part in making those songs timeless. Starkey sums up the mediocre sound and lack of ambition of their mid 2000s era and harking back to that era is pointing the bands legacy in the wrong direction. Bonehead and Whitey for different reasons have more of a reason to join this tour than anyone else. Whether the casuals know it or not, they play a major part in why those songs are so beloved. Can't see Whitey ever being asked.. His brother is doesn't mind having public digs at Noel, which leads me to believe there's a bit of resentment all round. I'd like to see it but i don't think they would feel any need to ask him when Sharrock has been playing Oasis tunes for 15 years, or if Starkey is lined up.

Anyway, bad blood or not, Whitey hasn’t played drums in a serious manner since he left oasis. You don’t go from being that cold to doing a 16 night stadium tour of the U.K. and Ireland. It’s not like a tap you can’t just turn it on and off when you want. It’d take him a long time to get back up to speed. Drumming along on Instagram isn’t evidence of anything. In saying that, if you could guarantee me a 1996 Whitey on stage I wouldn’t even consider anyone else.

im gonna throw my two cents in about the 2025 lineup and say that i can't stand the way that alan white played the definitely maybe songs. especially the way he ruined rock n roll star. just completely dreadful. hopefully its chris sharrock instead Yes & Supersonic too, Noel should of told him to just play a straight beat, no frilly bits for those DM songs. Although Cigarettes & Alcohol I liked him on live.

Someone 100% in shape is needed for this and maybe Alan White is, but he hasn't played professionally in 20 years. Bonehead is another thing cause there will probably be three guitar players on stage so they can cover each other.

Anyone think we could see Noel at Wembley with Liam on Saturday?
Normally I don't think he would be up for it. But the Saudi's who are putting the boxing on, they just throw cash about like mad. Would be a huge success for them to get Oasis back for the first time on one of their shows. I'm sure they will be making Noel a considerable offer.

Or maybe i could be wrong. At least that was the rumor. Playing live after 20 years, it would take a lot of rehearsals, but when an instrument is part of you, it comes back very fast. 3 months rehearsals and he's good to go. He did his first gig with Oasis almost overnight. There's musicians and ultra-gifted musicians. Alan was once; But its never going to happen.

I remember on the morning we heard TSOTL for the first time, Noel was on Radio 1 and he said: "When Alan got the boot by Liam..." which clearly implies it was Liam who was behind the decision.
FWIW it would be silly to go down the Starkey route. He's brilliant in The Who but for some reason was too plodding in Oasis. I don't think he ever managed to finish Acquiesce or Mucky Fingers properly, it was generally a mess and he changed the sound for the worse - see his reliance on the crash cymbals. Sharrock makes absolute sense for all the reasons stated before here.

The story is Liam fell out with him alright.
But that was the go to story when anyone left the band wasn’t it?
There might be truth in it but I suspect it was oasis in general he fell out with. The leaks and not showing up to meetings and shit.

It's gotta be a big thing if he had parts in that business and got sacked from it; It was potentially a lot of money for many many more years. Wait, maybe the leak is in fact true but he remained partner until 2006...

Today, from Liam´s twitter: x.com/liamgallagher/status/1835635673329553471x.com/liamgallagher/status/1835633685938262118x.com/liamgallagher/status/1835635087372623898"Liam Maybe I shouldn’t say this right now I mean OASIS back is a dream but gonna miss your SOLO, I’ve been so happy with your music in many ways..7 stunning years.. you should be proud" LIAM: Cheers Rkid but what can I do it’s 1 or the other and nothing beats OASIS "Is Oasis reunion meaning you'll give up all other things or you would try to have them all?" LIAM: OASIS is a full time job "you think that your first gig with oasis in 2025 gonna be epic and change the world? " LIAM: I’m not sure bout changing the world think thats a collective thing man but I intend to rip it up to ras every night as I’ve missed it more than you’ll ever know. It looks pretty obvious that Liam ideal scenario is OASIS till the end of times. I think it´s up to Noel if this reunion is just a one off for this tour or a permanent thing

It's pretty clear as day that a new album is coming.
Noel shelved the accoustic album for rock album. He's been in a studio, Liam said Albums done lol.
Plus it's more exciting for them as musicians to tour with a few new songs.
I firmly believe Noel has stashed some monsters over the years that he knows he can't sing live that Liam will absolutely crush.
He can toss in his 2 best from that acoustic album he was planning and we should have a solid return.

If there's one thing Noel has always been consistent and transparent about, it's new album timelines. And he said he's taking the rest of the year off and new music in 2026 at the earliest. Granted that was under a NGHFB scenario, but recording an album "in secret" doesn't feel like Oasis + we'd have a lot more pictures of Noel/Liam going in and out of studios. We've just had the one of him picking up some guitars from his own studio. Again, I hope I am dead wrong on this

We didnt really know about Chasing Yesterday, we didnt know much about WBTM until it was released (just bits of him saying he was doing stuff with the producer), we didn't know about the EP, we didn't know about CS. Everything is possible, even Liam recording his vocals in his living room. Doesn't need to go to a studio anymore and dont need to be there for the backing tracks. its probably pretty much a Noel + Gem and a drummer album with Liam adding voices rather then them being locked in a studio for 3 months like in the old days.
