Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher is set to head into the studio shortly to begin working on new material with a friend.

After fifteen years in the whirlwind of Oasis, you could forgive Noel Gallagher for wanting to take a breather. The band's untimely split back in 2009 has been followed by a period of silence from the songwriter.

An appearance on Talksport with Russell Brand was followed by two shows at the Royal Albert Hall. Taking part in the Teenage Cancer Trust series, Noel Gallagher refused to play new material at what are his only live engagements of 2010.

Working slowly on his solo album, Noel Gallagher recently revealed that he is planning to enter a recording studio "this week". However it won't be for his own material, with the singer set to play drums for a friend.

Refusing to name who the mystery collaborator is, the guitarist insisted that the public would know who he is. Continuing, Noel Gallagher said that he is someone he has "thrown up" with in the past.

Noel Gallagher is an experienced drummer, and played with Proud Mary before. For the bulk of the early Oasis material the singer wrote out the drum parts then handed them to original drummer Tony McCarroll.

Elsewhere, Noel Gallagher told Talksport that he is set to take part in Russell Brand's stag do. The comedian is getting married this winter to Katy Perry, with close friends organising a no doubt debauched bash in his honour.

Tabloid rumour had suggested that the guitarist was set to be the comedian's best man, but Noel Gallagher ruled this out.

Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher has opened a Pretty Green 'pop up shop' in Carnaby Street. A new move for the fashion venture, it comes as his new group Beady Eye put down new material.

Beady Eye are set to release their debut album later this year.

Oasis Biography

kiew.crustpunx@gmail.com (rifky) — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 23:17:00 +0700

Oasis are an English rock band, formed in Manchester in 1991. The band were formed by Liam Gallagher (vocals), Paul Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass) and Tony McCarroll (drums), who were soon joined by Liam's older brother Noel Gallagher (lead guitar). Oasis have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and have had eight UK number one singles. Liam and Noel Gallagher are the only continual band members. The present lineup is completed by songwriters rhythm/lead guitarist Gem Archer and bass guitarist Andy Bell, rounded by as-yet unofficial drummer Zak Starkey.
The band initially gained prominence performing on the Manchester club circuit. They were signed to independent record label Creation Records and afterwards released their debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994, leading the Britpop movement. The following year, the band recorded (What's the Story) Morning Glory? with their new drummer Alan White, while rivaling with Britpop peers Blur. The Gallagher brothers were featured regularly in tabloid newspapers for their sibling rivalry and wild lifestyles, cultivating a reputation as both bad boys and a band of the people. At the height of their fame, Oasis' third album, Be Here Now, reached number one in the UK charts, number two in the U.S. and also became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history, with almost half a million copies sold on the first day alone and just under 700,000 copies in its first week. The album, however, was critically lambasted for its "cocaine" sound and the extensive length of the songs.
In 2000, while recording their fourth album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, Oasis lost two founding members and suffered a notable drop in popularity in America. The band added replacements Gem Archer and Andy Bell for Heathen Chemistry in 2002, which was commercially successful and well-received among fans. In 2005, their sixth album Don't Believe the Truth, despite turbulent recording, became their best-selling and best-received album in a decade. The following year, the band released a "best-of" album entitled Stop the Clocks. In February 2007, Oasis received the BRIT Award for outstanding contribution to music. The band is currently recording their seventh studio album.
Formation (1991-1993)
Oasis evolved from an earlier band called The Rain, comprised of Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan (bass guitar), Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs (guitar), Tony McCarroll (drums) and Chris Hutton (vocals). Unsatisfied with Hutton, Arthurs auditioned acquaintance Liam Gallagher as a replacemment. After Gallagher joined the group, the band's name was changed to Oasis, which was inspired by an Inspiral Carpets tour poster which was in his and his brother Noel's bedroom. One of the venues on it was the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon.
Oasis first played live in August of 1991 at the Boardwalk club in Manchester. Noel Gallagher, who was a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets, went with the band to watch his younger brother's band play. While Gallagher and his friends did not think Oasis was spectacular, he began to consider his brother's group as a possible outlet for songs he had been writing for years. Noel approached the group about joining its membership, with the provision that he would become the band's sole songwriter and leader, and that they would commit to an earnest pursuit of commercial success. "He had loads of stuff written," Arthurs recalled. "When he walked in, we were a band making a racket with four tunes. All of a sudden, there were loads of ideas." Oasis under Noel Gallagher crafted their musical approach to rely on simplicity: with Arthurs and McGuigan restricted to playing barre chords and root bass notes, respectively, McCarroll playing basic rhythms, and the band's amplifiers turned up until the sound distorted, Oasis created a sound "so devoid of finesse and complexity that it came out sounding pretty much unstoppable."
After over a year of live shows, rehearsals and even taking the time out to record a proper demo (known as the Live Demonstration tape), the band's big break came in May 1993 when they were spotted by Creation Records co-owner Alan McGee. Oasis were invited to play a gig at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut club in Glasgow, Scotland, by a band called Sister Lovers, who shared their rehearsal rooms. Oasis, along with a group of friends, found the money to hire a van and make the six-hour journey to Glasgow. When they arrived, they were refused entry to the club as they were not on that night's set list, which reportedly caused the band to bully their way in (although both the band and Alan McGee have given contradicting statements about how they actually managed to get into the club on that night). They were given the opening slot and impressed McGee, who was there to see 18 Wheeler, one of his own bands, that night. McGee was so impressed by what he saw he signed the band to Creation four days later. Due to problems securing an American contract, Oasis ended up signing a worldwide contract with Sony, which in turn licensed Oasis to Creation in the UK.
Britpop Era and Height of Fame (1994–1996)
Following a limited white label release of the demo of their song "Columbia", their first single, "Supersonic", was released in April 1994, reaching number 31 in the charts. The release was followed by "Shakermaker". Their third single, "Live Forever", was their first to enter the Top 10 of the UK charts. After troubled recording and mixing sessions, their debut album, Definitely Maybe, was released in September 1994, entering the charts at number one, and at the time becoming the fastest selling debut album in the UK.
The best part of a year of constant live performances and recordings, along with a typically hedonistic lifestyle commonplace in young rock bands, were starting to tire the band out and a breaking point was finally hit during a gig in Los Angeles in September 1994 where Liam was under the influence of crystal meth, leading to a shambolic performance during which he made offensive remarks about American audiences and assaulted Noel with a tambourine. This upset Noel to such an extent that he temporarily quit the band immediately after and flew to San Francisco. He was tracked down by Creation's Tim Abbot and during a trip by the pair to Las Vegas Gallagher decided to continue with the band. Gallagher reconciled with his brother and the tour resumed in Minneapolis. The group followed up the fourth single from Definitely Maybe, "Cigarettes and Alcohol", with the Christmas single EP "Whatever" which entered the British charts at number three.
Oasis had their first UK number one in April 1995 with "Some Might Say", the first single from their second album. At the same time, drummer Tony McCarroll was ousted from the band, replaced by Londoner Alan White, formerly of Starclub and younger brother of renowned studio percussionist Steve White, whom Paul Weller recommended to Noel. White made his debut for the band at a Top of the Pops performance of "Some Might Say". Oasis began recording material for their second album in May of that year in Rockfield Studios near Monmouth.
During this period, the English press seized upon a supposed rivalry between Oasis and fellow Britpop band Blur. On 14 August 1995, Blur and Oasis released new singles on the same day, setting up "The Battle of Britpop" that dominated the week's music news. Blur's "Country House" outsold Oasis' "Roll with It" 274,000 copies to 216,000 during the week. Oasis' management came up with several reasons for this, claiming "Country House" sold more because it was less expensive (£1.99 vs £3.99) and because there were two different versions of "Country House" with different B-Sides forcing serious fans to buy two copies. An alternative explanation given at the time by Creation was that there were problems associated with the barcode on the "Roll With It" single case, which did not record all sales. Noel Gallagher told The Observer in September that he hoped Blur's Damon Albarn and Alex James of Blur would "catch AIDS and die", which caused a media furore. He subsequently apologised for this in a formal letter to various publications.
In September 1995, bassist Paul McGuigan briefly left the band, citing nervous exhaustion. He was replaced by Scott McLeod, formerly of The Ya-Yas, who featured on some of the tour dates as well as in the "Wonderwall" video before leaving abruptly while on tour in the USA. McLeod later contacted Noel Gallagher claiming he felt he had made the wrong decision. Gallagher curtly replied "I think you have too. Good luck signing on". In order to complete the tour, McGuigan was successfully convinced to return to the band.
Although a softer sound led to mixed reviews, Oasis' second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was a commercial success, becoming the third largest selling album of all time in the UK with over four million copies sold. The album spawned two further hit singles "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger", which also reached numbers two and one respectively. It also contained the non-UK single "Champagne Supernova" — featuring guitar playing and backing vocals by Paul Weller — that received widespread critical acclaim and peaked at number 20 on the US charts.
On April 27 and April 28 the group played their first headline outdoor concerts at Maine Road Football Ground, Manchester. Highlights from the second night featured on the video There And Then, released later the same year. As their career reached its zenith, Oasis performed back-to-back concerts at Knebworth on August 10 and August 11, 1996. The band sold out both shows within minutes; 375,000 people over two nights (10 million people applied for tickets, and 375,000 were actually sold, meaning the possibility of 53 sold out nights), at the time a record-breaking number for an outdoor concert held in the UK, and to this today the largest demand for a show in British history.
The next month proved to be difficult for the group. In August, Oasis was due to record an episode of MTV Unplugged at the Royal Festival Hall but Liam pulled out, citing a sore throat. He watched the performance from a balcony with cold beer and cigarettes, heckling Noel's singing between songs. Four days later the group left for a tour of American arenas but Liam refused to go; the band decided to continue the tour with Noel on vocals. Liam rejoined the tour on 30 August, but a few weeks later Noel flew home without the band, who followed on another flight. This event prompted media speculation that the group was splitting up. The brothers soon reconciled and decided to complete the tour.
Be Here Now and lineup changes (1997–2000)
Oasis spent the end of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997 at Abbey Road Studios in London and Ridge Farm Studios in Surrey recording their third album. Be Here Now was released in August 1997. Preceded by the UK number one single "D'You Know What I Mean?", the album was perhaps their most anticipated effort, and as such became the subject of considerable media attention. By the end of the first day of release, Be Here Now sold over 350,000 units and by the end of business on Saturday of that week sales had reached 696,000, making it the fastest-selling album in British history. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard charts in the United States, but its first week sales of 152,000 – below expected sales of 400,000 copies – were considered a disappointment. Although early media reviews were positive, once the hype had died down, the album was criticised for being bloated and derivative with most of the critics focused on the extensive length of several songs, the heavier sound, and overproduction. Noel defined the album in retrospect as "the sound of a buncha guys... on coke... in the studio... not giving a fuck."
The Britpop movement was over and the band failed to meet expectations with Be Here Now. After the conclusion of the disastrous Be Here Now tour, amidst huge media criticism the group decided to stay clear of each other and kept a low profile throughout 1998. That year Oasis released The Masterplan, a compilation album of 14 B-sides, released in November. "The really interesting stuff from around that period is the B-sides. There’s a lot more inspired music on the B-sides than there is on Be Here Now itself, I think", related Noel in a recent interview.
In early 1999, the band began work on their fourth studio album. First details were announced in February with Mark "Spike" Stent revealed to be taking a co-producing role. The majority of the album had been written by a now "clean" Noel Gallagher, who had quit taking cocaine in mid-1998. This was to have a major influence on the lyrical content of the album. Recording sessions began in the south of France in April, with everything believed to be have been going to plan. Behind the scenes, however, things were not going well and the shock departure of founding member Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs was announced in August. This departure was reported at the time as amicable, with Noel stating that Arthurs wanted to spend more time with his family. Arthurs' statement clarified his leaving as "to concentrate on other things". However, Noel has since offered a contradicting version: that a series of violations of Noel's "no drink or drugs" policy (imposed by Noel so that Liam could sing properly) for the album's sessions resulted in a confrontation between the two. Oasis fans were given a further shock days later, as the departure of bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan was announced. McGuigan said later that the departure of his close friend triggered his own.
The now three-piece Oasis chose to continue recording the album, with Noel Gallagher re-recording most of Arthurs' guitar and McGuigan's bass parts. After the completion of the recording sessions, the band began searching for replacement members. The first new member to be announced was new lead/rhythm guitarist Colin "Gem" Archer, formerly of Heavy Stereo, who later claimed to have been approached by Noel Gallagher only a couple of days after Arthurs' departure was publicly announced. The band was rehearsing with David Potts, but he quickly resigned, and they brought in Andy Bell, former guitarist/songwriter of Ride and Hurricane#1 as their new bassist. Bell had never played bass before and he was obliged to learn to play it, along with a handful of Oasis' back catalogue of songs, in preparation for a scheduled tour of America in December 1999.
With the folding of Creation Records, Oasis formed their own label, Big Brother, which released all of Oasis' records in the UK and Ireland. Oasis' fourth album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, was released in February 2000 to good first-week sales. It peaked at number one on the British charts and number 24 on the Billboard charts. Three singles were released from the album: "Go Let It Out", "Who Feels Love?" and "Sunday Morning Call", all of which were top 5 UK singles. With the departure of the founding members, the band made several small changes to their image and sound. The cover featured a new "Oasis" logo, designed by Gem Archer, and the album was also the first Oasis release to include a song written by Liam Gallagher, entitled "Little James". The songs also had more experimental, psychedelic influences. The album received only lukewarm reviews and, as of now, Standing is among the band's lowest-selling albums worldwide.
To support the record the band staged an eventful world tour. While touring in Barcelona in 2000, Oasis were forced to cancel a gig when Alan White's arm seized up, and the band spent the night drinking instead. Liam made a derogatory comment about Noel's then-wife Meg Mathews, and attempted to cast doubt over the legitimacy of Noel's daughter Anais, causing a scuffle. Following this, Noel declared he was quitting touring overseas altogether, and Oasis were supposed to finish the tour without him. Noel eventualy returned for the Irish and British legs of the tour, which included two major shows at Wembley Stadium. A live album of the first show, called Familiar to Millions, was released in late 2000 to mixed reviews. The second Wembley show, which was broadcast to over a dozen countries, was a chaotic affair. Liam was clearly drunk, making several rambling statements, which included a derogatory announcement of his separation with his wife, Patsy Kensit and also at brother Noel.
Transitional Years (2001-2004)
Throughout 2001, Oasis split time between sessions for their fifth studio album and live shows around the world. Some gigs included the month-long Tour of Brotherly Love with The Black Crowes and Spacehog and a show in Paris supporting Neil Young. The album, Heathen Chemistry, Oasis' first album with new members Andy Bell and Gem Archer, was released in July 2002. The album reached number one in the UK and number 23 in US, although critics gave it mixed reviews. There were four singles released from the album: "The Hindu Times", "Stop Crying Your Heart Out", "Little by Little/She Is Love", and the Liam-penned "Songbird", Oasis' first single not written by Noel. The record blended the band's sonic experiments from their last albums, but also went for a more basic rock sound. Heathen Chemistry was a much more balanced recording process for the band, with all of the members, apart from White, penning songs. Johnny Marr provided additional guitar as well as backup vocals on a couple of songs.
After the album's release, the band embarked on a successful world tour that was once again filled with incidents. In late summer 2002, whilst the band was on tour in the US, Noel, Bell and touring keyboardist Jay Darlington were involved in a car accident in Indianapolis, IN. While none of the band members sustained any major injuries, some shows were cancelled as a result. In December 2002, the latter half of the German leg of the band's European tour had to be postponed after Liam Gallagher, Alan White and three other members of the band's entourage were arrested after a violent brawl at a Munich nightclub. The band had been drinking heavily and tests showed that Liam may have been using cocaine. Liam lost two front teeth and kicked a police officer in the ribs. Two years later Liam was fined around £40,000.
Oasis began recording a sixth album in late December 2003 with producers Death in Vegas at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall. The album was originally planned for a September 2004 release to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the release of Definitely Maybe. However, longtime drummer Alan White, who at this time had played on nearly all of the band's material, left the band in early January 2004. At the time, his brother Steve White stated on his own website that "the spirit of being in a band was kicked out of him" and he wanted to be with his current girlfriend. White was replaced by Zak Starkey, drummer of The Who and the son of Beatles' Ringo Starr. Though Starkey performs on studio recordings and tours with the band, as of yet he is not officially a member and the band is a four-piece for the first time in their career. Starkey played publicly for the first time at Poole Lighthouse. A few days later, Oasis, with Starkey, headlined the Glastonbury Festival for the second time in their career and performed a greatest hits set, which included two new songs — Gem Archer's "A Bell Will Ring" and Liam Gallagher's "The Meaning of Soul". The performance received negative reviews, with NME calling it a "disaster."
Resurgence in popularity (2005-present)
After much turbulence, the band's sixth album was finally recorded in Los Angeles-based Capitol Studios from October to December the same year. Producer Dave Sardy took over the lead producing role from Noel, who decided to step back from these duties after a decade of producing leadership over the band. In May 2005, after three years and as many scrapped recording sessions, the band released their sixth studio album, Don't Believe the Truth, fulfilling their contract with Sony BMG. It followed the path of Heathen Chemistry as being a collaborative project again, rather than a Noel-written album. It was also the band's first album in a decade not to feature the drumming of Alan White, with Zak Starkey taking his place. The record was generally hailed as the band's best effort since (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by fans and critics alike, spawning two UK number one singles: "Lyla" and "The Importance of Being Idle" (the band's seventhth and eighth number one UK singles, respectively), whilst "Let There Be Love" entered at number two. Oasis picked up two awards at the Q Awards: one a special People's Choice Award and the second for Don't Believe the Truth as Best Album. Following in the footsteps of Oasis' previous five albums, Don't Believe the Truth also entered the UK album charts at number one.
In May 2005, the band embarked on a large scale world tour. Beginning on 10 May 2005 at the London Astoria, and finishing on 31 March 2006 in front of a sold out gig in Mexico City, Oasis played more live shows than at any time since the Definitely Maybe tour, visiting 26 countries, headlining 110 shows and playing to 1.7 million people. The tour passed without any major incidents and was the band's most successful in more than a decade. The tour included sold out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden and LA's Hollywood Bowl. A rockumentary film was made during the tour. The film, entitled Lord Don't Slow Me Down was released in October 2007. A second DVD included live footage from an Oasis gig in Manchester from 3 July 2005.
In 2006, Oasis released a "Best-of" double album entitled Stop the Clocks, which featured what the band consider to be their "definitive" songs. Though the band didn't want to release a "Best of", their contract with Sony Music had just expired, forcing a release against the band's wishes. So, the band chose to be involved, "otherwise it would be shit" as Noel said later in an interview. During November 2006, Noel and Gem, backed by drummer Terry Kirkbride, began a short tour to promote Stop the Clocks. They played around a dozen shows in various countries around the world.
In February 2007, Oasis received the BRIT Award for outstanding contribution to music. Afterwards the band played several of their most famous songs. Oasis released their first ever digital-only release, "Lord Don't Slow Me Down", in October 2007. The song debuted at number 10 in the U.K singles charts. Oasis' seventh studio album has been confirmed for a 2008 release. Oasis recorded for a couple of months between July and September with completing work on two new songs and demoing the rest. They took a two-month break, because of the birth of Noel's son. In early November they resumed recording with Liam saying in Reuters interview that "It'll be done by the 15th of December, if everything goes well. Then we'll have Christmas off, and we'll go to L.A., mix it and maybe do a bit more over there." A recent posting on their official website confirmed that the band re-entered the studio on 5 November 2007 with Don't Believe the Truth producer Dave Sardy.

Success, Noel Gallagher concedes, is not without its drawbacks.

“We’ve been putting records out for fifteen years or so. You might think that, from the experience of all the records you have made, you would just swan into the studio and know how everything is going to go. But it has never been like that, at least not for us. If anything, it’s been the opposite. It just gets more and more of a challenge.”

Every great piece of work – and 'Don’t Believe The Truth' [2005] was one of them – only serves to raise the bar higher, in terms of the expectations of the audience. In the case of Oasis, who have settled into a cycle of three-year gaps between releases of new work, this sense is heightened by the fact that every new album tends to be greeted like a comeback.

Any apprehensions about the quality of ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ disintegrate within fifteen seconds of the opening track ‘Bag It Up’, which has every quality of the band’s unique finger-in-the socket rock and roll. There’s a rough, defiant, exuberant edge to a lot of these songs, notably ‘The Shock Of The Lightning’, one of those songs which has the capacity to stop you in your tracks – on first, second, or fiftieth hearing – whatever you are doing. The band sound as if they are really enjoying themselves and the exuberance is contagious.

“Both ‘The Shock of the Lightning’ and ‘Bag It Up’”, Noels says, “Were written basically in the studio. If ‘The Shock of the Lightning’ sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. And before we knew it we were saying: ‘fucking hell: you know what, this is really good.’ I’d say it’s probably the most current song we have had on a record - ever. Because generally I would write a song, then demo it, then listen to it for months. And fuck about with it. Whereas ‘The Shock of The Lightning’ basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best.”

There’s a 1961 British film comedy called, Raising The Wind, in which music students Kenneth Williams and Leslie Phillips are lectured on the key elements in composing popular tunes. “Now remember,” their teacher tells them. “It goes like this: Verse, chorus; verse, chorus; clever bit; verse, chorus. But never two clever bits. Or it don’t work.”

‘Dig Out Your Soul’, maybe more than any previous Oasis albums, deviates from the orthodox approach to songwriting. “I made a conscious decision,” Noel says, “not to write what you could call Songs with a capital S. I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight. I wanted a sound that was more monotonous, more hypnotic even; more driving. Songs that would draw you in a different way. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel. And that is probably the biggest progression, from ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’”.

It’s a quality that resonates through pretty well every track on this CD, magnificently on Gem Archer’s composition, ‘To Be Where There’s Life’.

‘Dig Out Your Soul’, I suggest to Gallagher, marks a departure from Oasis’s history in other ways. Whereas 'Definitely Maybe' [1994] and '(What’s The Story) Morning Glory' [1995] were essentially glorious, uncontrolled explosions made by boys, this is an album made by men. A carefully paced collection, its lyrics, in the slower songs especially, are more reflective: almost to the point of bleakness. “I wouldn’t say the lyrics are bleak in a personal sense,” Noel says, “but they are bleak in a sense of addressing the way the world is now. There’s no point acting like you’re 24 when you’re 40. Listening back to the final mixes, I was saying, God is mentioned a lot. And angels. And devils. All kinds of Biblical references. And fuck knows where that came from.”

“You do tackle the big questions on this record,” I suggest to Noel, “Like on track two, ‘The Turning’; a curious mixture of hope and disillusion”. “I think the world is at a critical point; like an elastic band, where it’s either going to snap, or people are going to come to their senses. There are only extremes. And ‘The Turning’ is kind of about … what hope do we have of recovering; what hope do we have of getting this back?”

This CD is reflective (‘Waiting For The Rapture’), mischievously retro [‘(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady’ has its roots in Tommy Tucker’s High Heel Sneakers] and breathtakingly vibrant: ‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ may be the most ‘conventional’ Oasis song on the album, and the one that will be the first to hit FM radio in the US, but it is also absolutely stunning.

The album ends with a beautifully understated, strangely haunting song called ‘Soldier On’. It reminds me of a 2008 version of ‘Take This Hammer’. Noel says, “It was a demo that had been lying around in the studio; everybody had forgotten about it. All we had to begin with was this tiny little section, with a drum accompaniment and one verse. We worked on it, and bashed it out in one night.”

“It would have been easier, and more obvious, to put an uplifting song at the end of the album. When I hear ‘Soldier On,’ I imagine a guy with a big fucking rope and lump of concrete on his back: as if someone has told him right – there’s your baggage. Take it through your life, that’s why it was last on the album. I really, really love that song.”

In 2002, when Oasis released 'Heathen Chemistry', Noel says, “I thought it was only a third of the way to the place we wanted to be with this band. I feel that 'Don’t Believe The Truth' got us half way, and that Dig Out Your Soul gets us to the place where I feel we are all really comfortable, both with each other, and where we’re at. There is no need to write, like, orthodox pop songs any more, just for the sake of it. We just write what we like and we just do what we do. Because you sit down and you say to yourself: well, why do you do this? Answer: because I fucking love it. Would I rather do anything else? No.”

With 'Dig Out Your Soul', Oasis have recorded their most bold, ambitious and varied album ever. And they’ve just raised that bar another twelve notches.

Noel Gallagher dreams about Oasis reforming in 2015 for the 20-year anniversary of '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?'

kiew.crustpunx@gmail.com (rifky) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:33:00 +0700

Noel Gallagher dreams about Oasis reforming in 2015 for the 20-year anniversary of '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?'

The guitarist admits he regrets quitting the group in August 2009 following a huge backstage fight with his brother Liam as he had big plans to celebrate the release of the band's seminal album - which has sold over 14 million copies worldwide and contained the classic tracks 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back In Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova' - but he hasn't completely given up on his idea.

Speaking about the night of the breakup in Paris - which culminated in Liam attacking him with a guitar - he said: "Well I regret when I was sat in the car and I kind of made a snap decision, really, if I had my time again I'd have thought about it a bit more and gone back, done the gig, done the next, there was only two gigs left on the tour.

"It was a hasty decision I've got to say, and we could maybe have all gone off and done other things for a few years, in my own head the 2015, 20-year anniversary of 'Morning Glory' is looming and we could have maybe come back, made a new album and played that album in its entirety and gone and been the greatest thing ever, but there you go."

Noel is currently gearing up for the release of his debut solo album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' and a small solo UK tour but he admits he is nervous about hitting the road without his former Oasis bandmates - Liam, Gem Archer and Andy Bell who have since gone on to form new group Beady Eye.

In an interview on the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio, he said: "I like the physical act of touring, it's amazing, it's one of the great perks of the job is to travel around on aeroplanes and visit different places and all that. I mean, I've been in a band for the last 20 years, I've never done a gig without Liam for 20 years, more or less, and with Gem and Andy for like 10 years, that's going to be the most difficult aspect of it. I'd have thought one of two things is going to happen, it'll be around the 12th gig, I'll be sat in the dressing room and after the gig I'll be thinking, `Do you know what, I think I'm up there with Elvis, as a performer I think I'm as good as it gets these days. I mean, who's better than me? Nobody, right?' Or I'm going to be sitting there thinking, `Right, how do I break a thumb and get out of this tour, because I don't like it, I don't like it, I want to go home.' "

Noel Gallagher telah memberikan wawancara lucu dengan stasiun radio di Birmingham!

kiew.crustpunx@gmail.com (rifky) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:20:00 +0700

Pada awalnya pewawancara menjawab ironisnya, yang memperkenalkan dia dengan mengatakan "Noel indah." Penyanyi bercanda mengatakan bahwa ia bermaksud untuk tempat "yang indah" di depan namanya. Lalu, ketika pewawancara telah mengungkapkan bahwa rekannya akan main mata dengan dia untuk terbang durasi sayap wawancara, Noel telah dilakukan: "Aku flirterò kembali dan, percayalah, aku flirtastico."

Menanggapi "Halo Sayang" oleh Noel pada wanita, kondektur berkata: "Jangan lupakan aku, Noel, ketika mereka menggoda Ada terlalu di sini.."

Kemudian Noel bergurau bahwa dalam dua tahun ini akan menghabiskan sendirian oleh Tesco dan Waitrose (Inggris department store).

Tentang single pertamanya, yang keluar besok, Minggu, 21 Agustus Noel mengatakan: "Oh, di luar hari Minggu Ya, hari Tuhan ...".

"Saya telah menulis dua album Satu akan dirilis musim panas mendatang.. Saya punya anak, aku pindah, saya menikah. Saya melihat banyak pertandingan sepak bola. Aku pergi berlibur. ... Saya berkunjung ke Waitrose" (Tertawa Pewawancara). "Saya bahkan di Marks & Spencer."

Sebab, pada dolar jutaan, Anda tidak akan tinggal di sebuah pulau eksotis setelah pembagian dari Oasis? "Ya, Telford ..." (Tertawa). "Tidak, tetapi jangan membuang semua uang. Dalam kehidupan ada lebih dari uang, uang tidak lagi begitu penting."

"Aku pergi berlibur untuk sementara waktu, saya menulis lebih banyak lagu saya tidak pendekatan untuk menulis lagu begitu kuat seperti ketika saya muda, saya lakukan seperti waktu bebas dan tidak memiliki banyak waktu luang ketika Anda memiliki tiga anak saya berpikir:..." Tidak ada yang menungguku, tak seorang pun memberikan peduli Arctic Monkeys dan tekan baru mereka ...".

Konduktor mengatakan dia tidak bisa membayangkan Noel, yang selalu berpakaian elegan, di petinju dekat kolam renang pada hari libur. Noel mengatakan: "Saya harus mengatakan bahwa aku tidak ... Maksudku, aku suka berlibur, tapi aku bukan binatang berenang, kau tahu aku terlihat seperti bahasa Inggris berkerak yang berlangsung pada liburan terhadap dirinya akan." Kemudian dia menegaskan: "Saya tidak bisa berenang." Kondektur berkata kepadanya: "Berhenti, Noel, tahu bagaimana untuk berenang di". Dia berkata, "Tunggu sebentar, kami mulai memberikan kita 'harta karun' teriakan ... dan sekarang saya tidak bisa berenang."

Noel juga bercanda tentang protes dan tindakan perusakan yang telah mengguncang negara itu. "Ini bukan salahku jika Anda tidak tahu bagaimana untuk berenang:... Anak saya tidak mendapatkan pelajaran berenang Pada ini sehingga Anda dapat menulis Ini berarti bahwa Anda dapat menghancurkan toko Jika Anda melihat saya di TV malam ini, toko-toko menghancurkan tahu bahwa ini adalah karena ada pelajaran berenang, "Kolam Pelajaran ingin belajar berenang lagi! dua puluh tahun yang lalu ...'". Penyewa belum meminta Noel bercanda tentang hal-hal serius seperti ...

Kemudian presenter berkata: "Bila Anda melihat Noel Gallagher ...". Dan Noel: "... untuk berenang menyeberangi Selat Inggris?" (Tertawa). "Ketika Anda melihat Celebrity Big Brother?". Jawabannya: "... Jujur saya paiche Ini akan menjadi besar Semua kain lainnya, tetapi sebagai kehidupan saya benar-benar tidak berpikir saya akan pergi"

"Jika ada sebuah proposal untuk seminggu di X Factor Simon Oasis McCulloch? Sudah menawari saya dua kali di masa lalu. Apa yang saya katakan?" Tidak ada cara '. Akan lebih baik untuk mendengar musik, tapi aku melihat kami berdiri di belakang piano sebagai pelukis atau dekorator membunuh Masterplan The 'Ini menyebalkan ... Dibandingkan dengan apa yang kita coba lakukan, tapi tolong pergi'?. "
Pioi Noel bercanda tentang televisi panggilannya: "Celebrity Big Brother, untuk berenang di saluran, X Factor ... karena saya peduli untuk menulis catatan yang besar ini adalah panggilan saya:.? TV"

Noel berbicara tentang video The Death Of You And Me, "lokasi yang eksotis Ya:? Gurun, 103 derajat Fahernheit (sekitar 54,5 derajat Celcius), lebih eksotis dari itu ... Kami bahkan membuat film dari dua jam sementara kami melaju keluar dari Los Angeles Segala sesuatu yang Anda lihat adalah fasad,. adalah plastik, Anda belum melihat sisanya. "

"Selama dua puluh tahun terakhir kami telah membuat beberapa video yang tidak ada hubungannya dengan lagu ... Untuk 103 kali waktu ketujuh puluh Anda pikir:.." Saya tidak suka lagu ini saya tulis sendiri, tapi aku tidak suka lebih 'Sekarang aku tidak sebuah band dan melakukan sesuatu yang berbeda dan berkata,.. "Apa yang Anda lakukan" Saya memberitahu mereka saya ingin melakukan apa pun yang kukatakan:'..?? Anda akan duduk dan menonton Anda akan keluar jendela ' (Dengan aksen Amerika, red.) Dan aku berkata, 'Well, ya, saya tidak bisa berenang, tapi saya rasa saya bisa menangani, pasti'. "

"Kami membuat sebuah film pendek dan video yang adalah bagian dari tiga saya suka karena saya harus melakukan playback dan sejenisnya pon Hannod saya:..." Kau bisa berjalan dengan berpura-pura melihat ke langit dan kemudian menghubungkan kembali? "A kemudian. membingungkan .... "

"Dalam hidup saya, saya telah menyempurnakan peran tontonan Bob, gitaris, Anda tahu, hanya bernyanyi kecil di konser 'lagu-lagu untuk memberitahu gadis-gadis:" Oh, apa yang suara yang bagus bahwa' saya sedikit. "Dipaksa untuk mengambil 'Tengah' peran ini ... oh sayang, aku tidak terlalu menarik:.. itu tidak harus menggunakan itu saya harus melakukan beberapa 'konser karena aku meminta orang untuk datang dan membeli catatan saya Tetapi Saya frontman dari gen, Anda tahu, panggil aku idiot, namun ada juga yang dilahirkan dengan gen yang. saya tidak punya dan sekarang saya harus belajar untuk melakukannya di depan audiens yang mengharapkan 'nyeri'. Tapi konser saya akan dibuat dibandingkan dengan band lama saya yang sangat cepat Sejak konser pertama akan:. "Ini adalah hal yang menjijikkan, kan? '".

"Jika Anda siap untuk dihakimi aku? Mengambil gambar dari kolam saya di tur. Mereka dapat mengatakan apa yang mereka inginkan, tapi begitu aku belajar berenang untuk mendapatkan saya mandi dalam permainan kolam akan mengakhiri omong kosong ini."

"Saya pihak aftershow yang melihat partisipasi banyak orang, lebih banyak dari jumlah tiket terjual untuk tur saya."

Kondektur kemudian dibandingkan keluar nya dijual dijual keluar dari Eye Beady langsung, yang telah mencapai, tapi dalam setengah jam dan tidak dalam hitungan menit, seperti yang dilakukan Noel. Noel mengatakan: "Tapi hal ini tidak masuk akal tur mereka lagi.."

Sebuah Noel ditanya apakah ia akan melakukan pertunjukan yang lebih besar jika mereka baik. "Jujur saja saya tidak terlibat dalam aspek tur Ada orang yang dibayar untuk melakukannya untuk saya.. Saya akan bermain di bioskop seumur hidup, pernah. Saya tidak melihat kami di Wembley." Tuan rumah berlari "Sayang" dan Noel berkata: "Ini kedua kalinya aku didekati istri saya ingat saat ..."

"Jika album tidak menjual ... memberi saya kerusuhan", Noel bergurau menyimpulkan bahwa itu adalah diri ditugaskan "penghargaan untuk orang pemarah yang melihat ke luar jendela berpura-pura menulis lirik" (merujuk ke video Kematian Dari Kau Dan Aku). Sebagai penutup ia mengucapkan terima kasih kepada ibu dan gurunya berenang "yang dalam enam tahun berkecil hati saya dan mengarahkan saya ke karir yang luar biasa. Sekarang aku harus pergi karena mereka membuat saya tanda bahwa aku berbicara terlalu banyak ... Halo"

Nasib Oasis Tanpa Sang Kaka Noel Gallagher

kiew.crustpunx@gmail.com (rifky) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:20:00 +0700

Benarkah? keluarnya Noel Gallagher dari Oasis akan membuat eksistensi Oasis tak berumur panjang? Pertanyaan ini yang sedang marak diberikan para pecinta musik dunia. Bahkan ada beberapa yang memberikan respon Oasis benar-benar akan “tenggelam”. Termasuk juga Nelly Furtado dan Kasabian, band indi rock asal Inggris.
Bukan tanpa alasan. Nelly Furtado sangat menghormati sosok Noel Gallagher sejak Nelly masih remaja.

Bentuk kecintaan Nelly tidak hanya dalam bentuk surat itu. Dia juga mengakui bahwa Wonderwall adalah lagu pertama yang dia pelajari dengan gitar. Respon beda datang dari lead vokal grup Kasabian, Tom Meighan. Dia ingin memberikan penawaran khusus kepada Noel. Yaitu mengajaknya ikut serta dalam rangkaian tur Kasabian. Meighan juga berharap bisa membuat lagu dengan mantan mastermind Oasis itu.
Bagi Meighan, Noel itu pekerja keras kalau berhubungan dengan membuat lagu. Noel juga punya pesona sendiri di atas panggung. Beberapa hal inilah yang membuat Meighan tertarik berkolaborasi dengan Noel. Meighan berharap agar Noel segera bergabung saat Kasabian melakukan tur di Inggris, tepatnya di Newcastle pada 10 November 2009.
Seperti diberitakan, Noel keluar dari Oasis karena ada persoalan interen engan saudaranya, Liam. Noel telah lama merasa tidak nyaman di Oasis. Dia sering mengalami kekerasan verbal dan intimidasi dari Liam dan orang-orang di sekitar Oasis. Pihak manajemen juga tidak memberikan support kepada Noel. Sejauh ini, belum ada komentar dari Liam. Namun, sepertinya Liam tidak akan ambil pusing dengan hal tersebut.

Del Piero Ternyata Fans Oasis

kiew.crustpunx@gmail.com (rifky) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:00:00 +0700

Sebuah fakta unik terungkap dari striker Italia berusia 35 tahun, Alessandro Del Piero. Ale ternyata merupakan fans dari grup band yang digalangi oleh Gallagher bersaudara yaitu Oasis.

Sang ikon Juventus mengaku dirinya terinspirasi dari single yang dikeluarkan Oasis yang berjudul Time Flies. Pria asal Conegliano, Italia ini juga mengatakan dirinya merupakan sahabat dari vokalis band tersebut, Noel Gallagher.

"Hubunganku dengan Oasis terbentuk sangat alami," tutur Del Piero kepada Skysports.com.

"Saat pertama kali bertemu mereka, saya bereaksi layaknya anak kecil. Sejak itu mereka menjadi kenangan yang tak terlupakan bagi diriku."
Single Time Flies yang menjadi inspirasi Del Piero merupakan koleksi lagu untuk merayakan keberadaan band Oasis dari tahun 1994-2009. Uniknya, kini Band asal Inggris tersebut sudah tidak lagi aktif dalam dunia musik atau bubar.

Fakta dan Cerita di balik beberapa Lagu OASIS

kiew.crustpunx@gmail.com (rifky) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:49:00 +0700

Champagne Supernova

- judul lagu ini awalnya karena Noel salah mendengar judul album dari sebuah band yang judul albumnya tuh "Bassanova". Kebetulannya lagi, Noel saat itu sedang menonton sebuah film dokumenter tentang sampanye (champagne) waktu itu.

-lagu ini menuai banyak kritikan soalnya Noel dianggap bikin lirik yang gak nyambung. kritik itu bermula pada salah satu baris:"slowly walking down the hall/ faster than a cannonball". Ketika ditanya arti dari baris itu pada wawancara oleh harian The Sunday Times 2009 lalu, Noel menjawab dengan santai:"I don't fuckin' know!But are you telling me, when you've got
60,000 people singing it, they don't know what it means? It means something different to every one of them"

Dont Look Back in Anger

- Noel menulis baris : "stand up beside the fireplace, take that look from off your face" karena ketika dia masih kanak-kanak, ibunya selalu menyuruh untuk berdiri di samping perapian berfoto. Dia terlihat kesal pada setiap foto tersebut.

- Baris "so I start the revolution from my bed" didedikasikan kepada John Lennon

- Bunyi piano pada awal lagu ini diambil dari lagu John Lennon yakni "Imagine"

-Baris "So Sally can wait" sama sekali tidak memiliki arti. baris tersebut hanyalah ciptaan dari personel-personel OASIS lainnya untuk menutupi kekosongan lirik pada reff.

Let There Be Love

- Lagu ini merupakan lagu dengan proses penulisan terlama. Noel membutuhkan waktu sekitar 8,5 tahun untuk menulis lagu ini

Lyla

-Ketika ditanya tentang siapa sosok "Lyla", Noel menjawab santai bahwa Lyla adalah adik Sally (Sally adalah sosok yang disebutkan dalam lagu "Don't Look Back in Anger")

Stand by Me

-Lagu ini sebenarnya bermula dari kenyataan bahwa Noel mengalami suatu alergi terhadap beberapa jenis makanan. Untuk menenangkan ibunya yang ingin memastikan bahwa ia baik-baik saja, Noel membuat sebuah porsi makanmalam yang cukup besar untuk dirinya sendiri yang akhirnya membuat dia jatuh sakit. Kejadian ini menginspirasi terciptanya baris "Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday, I've got a lot of things to learn"

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

-Lagu ini bercerita tentang kenangan. Lagu ini juga bercerita apabila kamu melupakan kenangan tersebut, maka kenangan tersebut akan kembali ketika kamu benar-benar membutuhkannya. Lagu ini lebih bersifat motivasi ketika kita sedang mengenang kegagalan-kegagalan yang pernah kita alami dan bangkit untuk menghadapinya.

- Lagu ini dinyanyikan banyak fans Inggris ketika mereka mengingat kekalahan dari Brazil pada Piala Dunia 2002

- Lagu ini juga diperdengarkan pada bagian akhir film "The Butterfly Effect"

Whatever

- Lagu ini ditulis oleh Noel

- Lagu ini terinspirasi dari ayah Noel yang kerap memaksa Noel sewaktu remaja untuk menjadi seorang Perancang Bangunan ketika ia dewasa.

-Lagu ini sempat dituntut oleh Musisi Neil Innes karena dianggap memplagiat bagian melody dari lagu "How Sweet to Be an Idiot" pada tahun 1973. Hasilnya, OASIS terpaksa membayar royalti kepada Innes dan menuliskannya pada daftar pencipta lagu sebagai co-writer.

Wonderwall

- Menurut banyak versi menyatakan bahwa lagu ini ditulis oleh Noel untuk memuji Pacarnya saat itu, Meg Matthews. Noel membandingkan Meg dengan poster seorang bintang Pop yang tertempel pada dinding sekolah khusus pria. Namun begitu, ketika Q MAGAZINES mengkonfirmasi pada Noel, Noel menjawab bahwa lagu ini diambil dari khayalannya tentang adanya seorang teman khayalan yang akan datang dan menyelamatkan dirinya.

- Lagu ini adalah single pertama OASIS di Amerika Serikat dan merupakan hit tersuksesnya di negara tersebut

-Awalnya lagu ini akan dinyanyikan oleh Noel, namun ia mengalihkannya pada saudaranya, Liam.

-Ketika lagu ini dibawakan secara live akustik, entah kenapa Noel selalu menggunakan gitar Fendernya ketimbang gitar Gibsonnya.

-Judul awal lagu ini adalah "Wishing Stone"

-Radiohead sempat membuat cover lagu ini namun Thom Yorke, vokalis Radiohead, banyak membuat kesalahan pada saat melantunkan lirik lagu ini.

Oasis Bubar Bagus Untuk Noel & Liam

kiew.crustpunx@gmail.com (rifky) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 11:33:00 +0700

Jakarta - Hingga kini masih banyak yang menyesali bubarnya grup band Oasis. Namun penyanyi dan penulis lagu Inggris, Paul Weller, justru menilai bubarnya Oasis menjadi solusi terbaik bagi dua bersaudara Noel dan Liam Gallagher yang sering bertengkar.

"Saya merasa beban akan diangkat dari pundak mereka dan kreativitas masing-masing di antara mereka akan lebih bagus," kata Paul seperti dilansir digitalspy.co.uk, Jumat (16/4/2010).

Paul pun berharap album solo Noel dan Liam yang kini masih dalam proses pengerjaan akan menunjukkan hasil yang bagus. "Mereka orang-orang yang menyenangkan. Mereka semua sungguh musisi yang bagus," kata Paul.

Band yang populer lewat lagu 'Wonderwall' itu bubar setelah Noel dan Liam berseteru dan tidak bisa didamaikan lagi. Pada 28 Agustus 2009, Noel mengatakan keluar dari Oasis. Kedua kakak beradik itu sebenarnya sudah sering perang mulut. Namun Noel (gitaris Oasis), saat itu mengatakan tidak bisa lagi bekerja sama dengan adiknya, Liam Gallagher (vokalis Oasis).

"Orang akan menulis dan omong apa pun, tetapi yang jelas aku sudah tidak bisa bekerja lagi dengan Liam meski untuk sehari lagi," kata Noel kala itu.

Terakhir meski bubar, grup ini akan menelurkan album greatest hits. Album kompilasi itu diberi titel 'Time Flies'.

Oasis berdiri di Manchester tahun 1991. Album terakhir sebelum bubar 'Dig Out Your Soul' dirilis pada Oktober tahun lalu.

Inilah penyebab Grup Band Oasis Bubar

LONDON - Mantan basis Oasis Andy Bell, menuduh Noel Gallagher sebagai pembohong besar perihal bubarnya band Oasis beberapa waktu lalu.

Musisi grup band Beady Eye ini menyatakan, Noel berbohong mengenai kebenaran Oasis mengalami kemunduran dalam berkarya saat direncanakan tampil di V Festival pada 2009. Saat itu, Noel beralasan saudaranya, Liam, mengalami ketergantungan minuman keras ( mabuk keras )

Padahal diungkapkan Bell, perpecahan yang terjadi di tubuh Oasis terjadi karena Noel mencoba membebankan biaya iklan perusahaan pakaiannya Pretty Green dalam program tur band. Ide Noel itu ditolak Bell dan Liam.

"Dia berbohong tentang banyak hal. Semuanya yang diungkapkannya itu palsu. Aku tidak tahu mengapa dia bisa bicara seperti itu. Mungkin dia yakin itu alasan yang sebenarnya. Tapi aku tahu dia seperti apa dan aku tidak kecewa," tutur Bell kepada Japan Times, seperti dikutip Digitalspy, Selasa (16/8/2011).

Bersama Liam, Gem, Chris, serta kru bekas Oasis, Bell membuat kesepatakan untuk tetap jalan sepeninggal Noel. Mereka membuat band baru, Eye Beady.

"Kami duduk bersama dan sepakat tidak akan mengakhiri Oasis hanya karena Noel pergi. Aku tetap berharap yang terbaik untuk Noel," ucapnya

Oasis adalah kelompok musik rock yang dibentuk di Manchester pada tahun 1991. Pada awalnya grup musik ini bernama The Rain dan dibentuk olehLiam Gallagher pada vokal dan tamburin, Paul Arthurs pada gitar, Paul McGuigan pada gitar bass, dan Tony McCarroll pada drum dan perkusi, kemudian ikut bergabung juga kakak sulung dari Liam, yaitu Noel Gallagher yang menempati posisi gitar dan vokal. Menurut Belfast Telegraph sampai pada kurun waktu Juni 2009, Oasis telah menjual 90 juta rekamannya di seluruh dunia. Mereka juga memiliki 8 singel yang pernah bertengger di posisi pertama UK Chart serta mengoleksi 15 NME Awards, 5 BRIT Awards, 9 Q Awards, dan 9 MTV Europe Music Awards. Dan pada Februari 2007, Oasis menerima penghargaan dari BRIT Awards untuk kontribusi mereka yang luar biasa pada dunia musik.

Oasis memainkan pertunjukan live pertama mereka pada bulan Agustus 1991 di klub Boardwalk, Manchester. Kemudian mereka bergabung dengan label rekaman Indie Creative dan merilis album pertama mereka Definitely Maybe pada 1994, pada tahun selanjutnya mereka merilis album teranyar mereka (What's the Story) Morning Glory? dengan drummer baru mereka Alan White dan memulai rivalitas dengan grup musik Blur. Noel dan Liam yang merupakan ikon terpopuler dari grup ini sering mucul menghiasi halaman-halaman majalah, tabloid dan koran mingguan di Inggris karena gaya hidup mereka yang liar dan kontroversial. Oasis kemudian merilis album ketiga mereka Be Here Now pada 1997, yang menjadi album yang paling cepat penjualannya dalam sejarah UK Chat, namun mereka kehilangan daya tarik. Kemudian pada tahun 2000 mereka merilis album Standing on the Shoulder of Giant dan pada tahun 2002 album Heathen Chemistry dalam masa ini mereka kehilangan 2 dari anggota utamanya yaitu Paul McGuiggan dan Paul Arthurs yang memutuskan keluar dari band. Oasis kembali mendapat kepopuleran mereka lewat album Don't Belive the Truth dan berbagai tur promosi yang dilakukan mereka. Oasis merilis album terbaru mereka Dig Out Your Soul pada tahun 2009 dengan komposisi Gallagher bersaudara,Gem Archer pada gitar, Andy Bell pada bass, dan Chris Shamrock sebagai drummer sementara.

Pada bulan Agustus 2009 Noel keluar lantaran berkelahi dengan Liam, dalam perkelahian ini Liam merusak salah satu gitar milik Noel. Kemudian Liam mengumumkan bahwa Oasis masih akan tetap merilis album baru dan pada bulan Desember 2009 nama bandnya menjadi Oasis 2.0. Tetapi pada bulan Februari 2010 Liam menyatakan bahwa grup musik barunya tidak lagi bernama Oasis, inilah akhir dari grup musik Oasis. Sebagai gantinya Liam membentuk grup musik baru bersama sisa personil Oasis yg masih ada yang bernama Beady Eye.
