Liam Gallagher To Disband Oasis If Noel Goes Solo

Liam Gallagher has vowed to disband Oasis if brother Noel makes a solo album.

The "Live Forever" singer is furious at the guitarist’s recent comments that he wants to make an LP on his own and has vowed the band will split before that happens.

Liam fumed: "I could do that, but I don’t want to do that. I’m in Oasis, you know what I mean? If everyone starts going off doing solo records then you might as well just f***ing split the band up.

"I’m part of a band and that’s the way it is. If you go on going off doing solo records then there’s no Oasis. Someone’s got to be here keeping it together."

Taking another swipe at Noel – who also claimed it would be "five years" before Oasis release another record together because of Liam’s lazy attitude - the rocker added the worst thing about being in Oasis was "being in a band with your f**ing brother".

Noel recently said Liam would "f***ing freak out" if he and the rest of the group – Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock - recorded their own material, but insisted he was going ahead with his plan.

Noel has also hinted that he is unsure how much longer the band can continue because of in-fighting during the current South American leg of their world tour.

He wrote on his MySpace blog: "We speak at bad times for the Oasis tour. Bad times. We are a rudderless ship at the minute. And there's a f***ing s**t-storm on the horizon. I guess all will be revealed in due course.

"Strange atmosphere. I wouldn't mind but we're in South America! Playing massive stadiums and there's a bit too much hrmph-ing going on for my liking. Shame really."

Thanks for the report to Livenews.com.

Well as long as you don't split up before I see you guys live it'll be OK...

[LifesSweetDrug]

After being in a band that long with your bro, surely you want to take a break and do your own thing for a while?

[odinwolf]

What did you expect??? These guys have always been paranoid that the world might think that another band is better than they are. Liam's just scared that Noel going solo might be considered better than something he would do.

Jealous twits.

[3 days grace14]

didn't even read the article just the title and frankly these guys are so full of their own shit they repulse me

[!zAck]

Whatever happened to brotherly love? Ha

[Stampede]

haha. thats so funny.

but to be honest if i was in a band with my brother i'd prolly stayed pissed off at him as well. all the time. i'd kick his ass.

[webbtje]

Egotistical little prat. The thought that maybe his brother just wants to get away from him for a while obviously hasn't occured to him.

[littleleo88]

fingers crossed it happens.

[guitarguru1212]

anyone think this is quite good news?
it means that finally the world is freed of Liam Gallagher's s*** talk, if they split up of course.
though i do think its a good idea thanoel should do solo stuff as it can help him relieve some songs that maybe wouldnt fit into an oasis style album, like some blues or something i don't know. but liam is so up himself its unbelievable.

[Glennjoe]

Noel is the better musician all round, Noel's vocals are so much better. Liam is just worried he'll get upstaged.

[jod23]

it be a shame if oasis broke up but i feel noel would be awesome if he went solo. i don't think oasis will go away any time soon...

[roxtar_shock]

These guys have been fighting for like the past 15 years. What's new?

[scowley]

Why cant he just let his bro go?
surely some time apart might help keep the band together

[CapnKickass]

Oasis is an oasis of laughs

What will the world do without them? They're like the British Beatles

[thechrishendrik]

thank god. i hate this band.

[darkl64]

I saw these guys live and it was amazing how down to Earth they actually seemed. I was expecting tantrums and stuff, but it was a truly awesome gig.
Anyway, I almost agree with Liam here, if everyone can go off and record what they want, why have a band?

[RU Experienced?]

Excellent news, I'm sick of hearing about Oasis (though it is a nice change of pace from Satch/Coldplay/Cat Stevens articles).

Anyway, lots of long lasting bands have relatives in them. The Allman Brothers Band, Van Halen, AC/DC, Delaney, Bonnie, & Friends, just to name a few.

[theotherguy7145]

If he wants a solo album, i think he should be able to do one!

I'm not into Oasis' music but if someone wants a break, get to play with some other musicians, why shouldn't they?

[Bigshoutout]

I'd be thrilled if they split up, Liam can't sing for shit now. He doesn't even seem seem to care about the band, he writes terrible songs and insists they go on the album. (him and the other 2)

It's Noel, its always been Noel, the friends hes got (Johnny Marr, Paul Weller) put them in a super group and he will never look back. Noel solo is awesome, Oasis live are just embarrasing. Noel's new solo album will be the best thing he's done since Morning Glory.

[TaV0]

pleas, please, please, break up! I really cannot stand these guys

[Antoine-Øleg]

Meh, why is Liam Gallagher so f***** close-minded and envious?. Is it that hard to let Noel do his own thing?.

I like Oasis' music but Liam Gallagher has always been a kiddy moron. It'd be a very stupid and senseless situation if the band breaks up just because Noel wants to make his own LP.

[Badmotorfever]

If Van Halen, Nickelback and Kings of Leon can stay together with siblings in the band, then Oasis could if they weren't such egotistical knobheads. I get sick of the talk and the backchatting that goes on with this band. Maybe if Noel did a solo album it would be a good thing for Oasis to either continute without the in-fighting or just split the **** up.

They could at least keep their shit inside the band. However, it's a shame that those two guys can't put up with each other. Like ****ing ten years olds in a sandbox...

[Gh.]

Hey, wait a sec... Wtf?!

[deafening]

DONT BE IN A BAND WITH YOUR BROTHER
It was terrible for my account

anything that goes on outside of bandtime is dragged in when it comes to brotherly relations.
I quit the band I was in because I did not see a future in any band with my brother.

[jplay5]

(sarcastically) - oh no!

[Serjem]

no way i mean this cant happen.. it's such a great band imo.. i've seen them live and it would REALLY suck and i mean it like REALLY REALLY suck if they disband... but since liam is an ignorant ******* who talks a lot and has an awsome voice it might be just cheap talk..

[metal@hart1101]

i also have a band with my brother, and its god damn electric. theres a certain chemistry when your jammin its awsome

Checked.

[Vedicardi]

Being in a band with your brother can either be epic (Evile, Van Halen) or can be TOTAL SHIT

[Orestes'merkaba]

Same old shit with them for the passed decade and more. All I ever read about them is the two brothers arguing and threatening to leave the band. Get a life

[eoiniscool]

noel would be so much better without liam, it'd be good for music if he went out on his own!

[UnaLaguna]

Off the top of my head, Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree are two bands who have regularly released music over two decades, in spite of individual members' side-projects.

[joker_thief]

I know Liam 'started' Oasis but guess who wrote their first three albums and all their hits? I wouldn't mind so much an all Noel written project, even if it isn't under the Oasis name.

[indie_nation]

its not like noel hasent worked on other albums or with other bands before i mean he has worked with paul weller, chemical brothers & ian brown, i think its more the fact that of noel left the band he could take at least 80% of the songs with him if he wanted leaving oasis a shell of what they once were

[AntonioSP]

But he says that noel would be pissed if liam and the rest recorded without him so you can also see his side

[WheredMyRockGo?]

As much as I dislike the gallaghers and their massive egos, I think this at least is a good point. I've also heard this argument before by good ole James Hetfield. If you remember, that's ultimately what got newsted to leave the band.

At any rate, why is a side project so important? Why not put that creativity into your bands album. What if the rest of the band wants to make an album and tour? Are you going to go on your solo tour instead? Do you get more money if you're the only writer?

[arcticradiohead]

honestly i wouldnt be shocked to find out they're playing all this up for attention. no one gives a shit about them anymore. out of all the things they've bickered about, you'd think this would be easiest for them to get over

[kurtshapedbox]

These two fellas cry, whine, and bitch more than the girls in my high school. All I ever hear about this band are stories about them being egotistical pricks.

I won't try to say anything about thier music however....I've never looked anything up beyond Wonderwall. I wasn't very impressed with that song though...

[Bass of Grunge]

when my friend asked me had I seen the Oasis news, I replied "No. What's the story?....Morning Glory?"

Yeah, I'm just that amazing.

[GNRjungle87]

Oh, sounds like the band I was in in SIXTH GRADE.

[Guitar_Jester]

I hope they won't disband.

[guitarkid583]

As a lover of Oasis, Liam is right and wrong. He's right when he says someone's got to keep the band together. Noel is the principle songwriter, and without him, or by having him off for a few years making a record and touring, Oasis ceases to exist. Similarly, when artists start making solo albums, its a sign of the end times.

That being said, Noel shouldn't be forced into Oasis. Even though its really his band, he should be able to do what he likes seeing as he makes most of the material. But again, Oasis will not exist (even if its only a few years) without him, and he needs to at least promise to come back to Oasis to put the rest of the band and fans at ease.

I went to their show in December and it was the biggest waste of money ever. The opening act was better

Wow, childish as hell. "Neeeh you can't make a solo album, you gotta do everything in a band. with ME"

[IbanezGod007]

Woo hoo! Beer's on me! LOL

[HeathenChemist]

I would like a Noel solo album... he's the reason I like them, his songwriting is what has propelled Oasis to great heights... nearly all of his solo renditions of Oasis songs are better than the actual band do them lol

And I haven't seen Oasis, yet, so stick together and come to Australia! I've seen Noel live though, best value for money ever!

well, not to be a dick, but they wouldn't be celebrating Thanksgiving, seeing as how they're British lol

theyre many oasis hater trolls
just remember DFTT

[Newch]

He wont, he soft.

[JilaX^]

WooohooO!

[shadow__666]

OK, so this would be the fiftieth time Liam's threatened to walk out? I stopped counting.

Seriously, it won't happen. He knows that without Oasis (and specifically Noel) he's nothing but a whiny John Lydon impersonator. And this is from someone who is a die-hard Oasis fan.

But if it does happen, just hang on for Australia and come to New Zealand.

[Vanox_1]

PLEASE GO SOLO!!!

[oasis1]

Oasis is my fav band, but honestly, for some reason, i just cant take it anymore, if they were to break up, i really wouldnt care, no offense, but liam cant sing, like he litterally cant, im not sure how the rest of the band can listen to him on stage, its just so bad, hes basically talking in a grungy voice, either way, id rather see noel go solo, rather then seeing millions of these same stories year after year, im not sure whether or not liam and noel just tell the media this to **** around and fill our heads with shit, but who knows man, noel going solo is probably the best thing for the band at this point

[MusicalMinority]

I think the only source of entertainment Oasis provides for me is the constant bickering, and that gets old fast.

Wonder what Noel and Liam's childhood was like...

[Shinsen88]

I think that's a little unfair, honestly. Anyone who's been in a band for that long is gonna want the chance to branch out. It doesn't mean he's abandoning Oasis. It just means he wants to try something new.

[verona_bassist]

liam and noel are just funny

[jetwash69]

No offense to Oasis fans, but how is this different from predictions dating back to 1994 that North Korea is going to implode?

[jetwash69]

Why don't they just kick him out like Metallica did to Newstead? Bob Rock could learn to play 6 string and produce/play on their next album until Zakk Wylde comes along to take Noel's place. That would show Noel. Noel could get Ozzie to sing on his solo album, but these days that might not sound different enough from Liam. Then they could all play together at the hall of fame induction.

Disclaimer:...this post is not intended to offend Oasis, Ozzie, Wylde, BLS, Voivod, Echobrain, Bob Rock, or Metallica fans...t

[EugeneDebs]

there's too much ego-mania going on in this band for them to be worthy of anything

[StratDune]

i'll buy noel's solo record any day over another oasis record. noel writes all the good songs so there won't be any difference in sound. good news is i won't have to hear that little prick's nasal voice. songs like 'wonderwall' sounds better when noel sings them.

and i believe people like gem will also go with noel.

[Altered_Carbon]

Liam don't want to lose his cash cow to fairer pastures I guess.

True. In that case I'd fly them over to my family's thanksgiving just to witness the brotherly brawls.

[wobneb]

plz go solo

[duzit89]

break up and fade away

[Sleazeball]

I think Liam has a point, but I hope Noel does make a solo record and Oasis fades away. Oasis are past it, they haven't done a decent record for about 12 years and they probably won't come up with anything good anyway...

[skunkrock]

yay

[Reebokanonymous]

I love Oasis, and although I'm a bigger fan of the first two albums, I do quite like some recent work of theirs. That being said, rock bands are usually perceived more fondly if something tragic happens to end the band as in the cases of so many. Rock bands, especially those like Metallica, would honestly be much better off if they made like Soundgarden and only left behind beautiful music.

[Hungry_Hameds]

It would be hard for Noel to do solo stuff with the Oasis name hanging over his head like a cloud. Plus he is the driving force in the band so the stuff would most likely sound like the Oasis stuff he sings on surely... it wouldnt be the same without Liam, even though he's not a great singer, and a bit of a dick, it just wouldnt!

[ChordMonger]

oh those crazy kids!

[hurricane #1]

If they break up they will not have made a bad album.

have you ever been in band that plays, say.. Metal. DEATH METAL. and NOTHING else. but every now and then, you write a cool acoustic song, but they won't release it, no matter what you say?

THAT is why people have side projects. They don't like the direction their current band is going in, or they need a break from all the shit going on in their band.

LMAO! Liam sounds a little bit scared here doesnt he? imagine if Noel went away, made a great album (which he would be capable of doing) and the other guys realised that oasis may have had their time. (listen to little by little. Noel deffinately has the potential to be a great singer/guitarist frontman)

[thenation1121]

this just in... takes solo leave to pursue comic dreams as gallagher 3!

check 3

[This1GoesTo11]

I'm all for a Noel solo album! . . .Sorry Liam!

[Baconfish]

This news makes me anticipate Noel's solo album.

[mattiwillohouse]

Oasis aren't the band they were because the TIMES aren't what they were. Oasis don't fit into this modern poncy, pretty boy music scene (which is shite by the way). Noel could make it on his own, Liam most definately could not because he's a talentless shit who's relied on the lager-lout/football hooligan image well past it's sell by date

[Paul DB]

Oh well.

Jesus Christ, you're like the British lad stereotype personified. In case you hadn't noticed, the poncy pretty boy music scene went down the toilet about a year ago, along with razorlight and the rest of the "shit indie" crowd. The reason oasis aren't selling as many records as they used to is because their songs aren't as good as they used to be, accept it and move on.
As for your thoughts on Liam however, i completely agree with you, Noel is a talented songwriter and his solo record would probably be the best thing he's produced in around a decade.

[Cresspo]

Liam thinks he has the copyright to Noel's playing lol

[The Chauffeur]

wayne ?

[xcmasta91]

i like oasis but liam ****in sucks now his voice has gotten worse and worse over the years doys his voice kinda got better but that wasnt saying much im interested to hear a noel solo album tho cause i hav always enjoyed his songwriting oasis is done and they need to realize that they cant do anything better than definitley maybe

[Ricky4635]

I guess I can see can why he would he upset. Oasis hasn't done anothing overly impresive in a very long time and going solo makes you write stuff for your solo carrer and not your band and Oasis doesn't need that.

[lurch_276]

i seriously wonder who is gonna kill who first. Any Takers?

Better musician overall yes, better voice though definatley goes to Liam, its the reason why he has his brother sing all of his songs. Dont get me wrong though, noel has a great voice too, but its very conventional sounding, liams voice is very unique and has style and swagger that makes up what Oasis is.

I hope Noel does a solo album, bc i know it would be amazing. Liam needs to just chill out and let him do it, and write songs of his own meantime. Pretty selfish that he wants to quit just bc of that, but it seems like hes all talk to me. You know noel meant it when he said liam would freak out if the rest of the band went on w/o him lol.
