Oasis Split

[denwyn]

As long as this is a final split and not a publicity stunt ...It can only be good news for Glastonbury...Never wanted the shit band there anyway

[MartinGooding]

this can only be a possitive thing as long as they dont drag it out and i have constantly here about them, for a band that hasnt made a good album since 1996 they seam to think an awful lot of themselves

[paolo55]

Noel to headline park next year in a special guest slot? possibly in time for a solo album coming out?

Early optimistic prediction.

[anoldhippie@60]

I do not mind some of there stuff, but there attitude is shit. I read the other day the founder of Creation records believes Noel will become the Neil young Of his generation and Liam the John Lennon of his generation. I believe he is some what lost in space. John Lennon sung about Give Peace a Chance and other anti war songs, Liam would start a war.

Alan McGeee is just a jumped up music fan, with not much of an idea of what's particularly interesting or relevant, who happened to be in the right place at the right time, and now 'we' look to him for what's going on in the music world . It's his fault ( ) Oasis were taken as seriously as they were in the first place...

R.I.P.

[BlackHole2006]

My god I loathe that band so much. (so much so that I didn't spell loathe right)

[crimsonking]

Lets face it they havent brought out a decent album since Whats the Story, but fear not, they'll probably do a money-spinning 'Reunion Tour' in a couple of years time so all you suckers can part with your money and watch the arrogant gob-shite drone out Champagne Supernova for 20 minutes and call you all a bunch of tossers again.

I was never their biggest fan but i think they were good for the music industry.

[kaisherz]

glad they're split.

their last album was dire, their live performances were gettin worse, they've done nothing good for years.

hopefully u2 will follow on soon. but i can only dream

[When Jokers Attack]

Love Oasis and all that but I think it was time for it to come to an end, 18 years of great music and I look forward to a Noel solo album in future, Liam shouldn't continue with the Oasis name if that is what he is going to do.

Also...

Roll on a Ride reunion!!!!!!!

[Mardy]

18 years of music and two songs. They've got a long way on very very little and have done nothing of any note for 14 years. I'll not miss them.

[RossTC]

I disagree massively with all the talk of not having a decent album since the mid 90's. For me Dig out your soul was a brilliant album and seeing them 3 times this summer at cardiff, wembley and benicassim were 3 fantastic shows.

if this 'split' is as serious as it sounds i will be truely gutted.

[Messy]

They'll be back.

[thischarmingman]

Oasis certainly existed in such a massive way thanks to their first two albums which were fantastic. I think you can argue they haven't progressed too much, but to say all subsequent albums since 1996 has been tosh isn't true. They just didn't create the excitement because it just wasn't new anymore.

They have consistently produced solid reliable tunes. They're no Radiohead, they do not match Blur's diversity and even the Arctic Monkeys look far more capable of showing real music progression. But each Oasis album has produced some excellent sing along style anthems (granted, alongside some real guff) and they are an important fixture in Britsh music.

To dismiss them as a two album band isn't fair. To dismiss Liam as a cock is though.

[Tugger2k]

[grandadcollective]

agreed!!

their a One album band!!

[budvar]

Correctamundo.

[Tugger2k]

And secondly WTSMG would be considered the best album for lots of other bans if they'd made it, which suggests it must be pretty good. I'm not saying it didn't go down hill after then mind.

[grandadcollective]

Actually no. For a start it's they're not their.

I can't help but think that Noel saw the fun Blur had this summer and thought the only way to get a bit of that himself would be to break up the band so they can get back together in five years or so...

[deegs]

I've never seen a Glastonbury headline slot wasted like it was in 2004 on Oasis. They were truly terrible.

I'm glad they've split and I highly doubt either of them stubborn bastards will be ringing each other apologizing anytime son.

[Billy09]

Brilliant!

[Josie's Cat]

That's very good! I like this "Hitler wants a Burger King" one too.

Does anyone fancy creating a Facebook group encouraging them to stay split? I'd join that. Would be amusing to get more members than the 'please don't split' group.
