Ever since their "(What's The Story) Morning Glory?" (1995), Oasis have just been getting worse with every album. (on a side note, "Dig Out Your Soul" (2008) wasn't as bad, "Don't Believe The Truth" (2005) was good). They've had their time and, honestly, no one likes them anymore. Apart from Sam ('and the people who bought tickets to their sold-out world tour' - Sam. Fair point.).
For those of you who don't already know, principle (is that the right one?) songwriter and guitarist Noel Gallagher left Oasis the other night, cause he 'simply can't go on working with [his brother and bandmate] Liam a day longer.' This was after a punchup backstage in France, which involved Liam smashing one of Noel's guitars and the concert being cancelled a minute before Oasis were scheduled to take the stage.
Personally, I'm suprised that Noel lasted this long. Liam's way too egocentric to even consider leaving the band - in his mind, he, and only he, is the one who took Oasis to where they are now (or where they were in 1996). They must have had hundreds of fights in the last 15 years. But the fact is, Noel wrote all their good songs, including everything from their three best albums "Definitely Maybe" (1994), "Morning Glory" (1995), and "Be Here Now" (1997), including hits "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger". He also wrote the great majority of the tracks from their other 4 albums. How Liam's going to run this by himself, I dunno, cause the ones he wrote were shit.
Honestly, Liam should just swallow his pride and call it quits. Oasis have had their run. Plus, who's gonna write the songs? He might think he can, but he's shit at it. Please, Liam, just disband Oasis, cause it's just not Oasis without both you and Noel.
