Oasis: The Ugly Breakup Of the Band Noel Vs Liam Gallagher Feud

What's going on my fellow rock n' rollers. Don't  forget to hit the bell notification icon to be   notified every time i put out a new video on m  channel. Perhaps one of the most exciting things   about the band Oasis, was that the always  seemed to be on the verge of breaking up.   Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher had a pretty  volatile relationship to say the least.   In fact, It’s amazing the band lasted as long  as it did. And today let’s take at the event’s   that led to the band’s messy breakup in 2009. For almost two decades Oasis would dominate   the rock scene and become one of the  most volatile bands in the genre.   Led by brothers Liam and Noel gallagher, the  band’s origins dated back to the early 90’s.   The group would sell over 70 million records,  have eight number one albums in the UK and sell   out arenas and stadiums around the world. And they  were without a doubt one of the most consistent   English rock bands during their time together. Since their inception in the early 90’s the   Gallagher brothers have pretty much been at each  other’s throats. The band almost broke with the   release of their first album, 1994’s Definitely  Maybe. During a showcase gig at the Whisky A   Go Go, Noel nearly quit the band according to  the Supersonic documentary after Liam started   to insult the other band members and threw a  tambourine at his brother. Upset, Noel bolted for   a few days, but ended up coming back to the band  leading to the song Talk Tonight being written.  Fast forward a year later and NME magazine  did an interview with the Gallagher brothers   that would be released as a single. It was called  the Wibbling Rivalry, The interview was notable   because it featured a violent argument between  the brothers over an incident that happened months   earlier when the band was arrested on a ferry  in the Netherlands following a violent brawl. As Oasis turned their attention to recording their  sophomore record (What’s The Story) Morning Glory   in Wales, the brothers once again got violent with  each other. During the recording, Liam brought   back a group of people he met at a bar back to  the studio while his brother was working. Annoyed,   Noel reportedly hit his brother over the head  with a cricket bat. That bat would be later sold   at auction with a letter of authenticity  after it was saved by the album’s producer.  As Oasis hit the road to support the album,  tensions once again failed to disappear as   Liam was a no show at the band’s first gig in  the states. Not only that, but Liam backed out   of the band’s taping of MTV unplugged complaining  about a sore throat. His brother Noel would take   over vocal duties that night. But Liam would  still be present, but he wouldn't be on stage,   instead hurling insults at his brother  from the balcony. Reports grew that the   band were going to split, but they opted to  continue touring. I’ve done a whole video on   their volatile tour with the Screaming Trees  during this time. The link is down below!  A relative period of calm would happen for  the next four years and it wasn’t until 2000   when things flared up once again. A gig in Spain  would be cancelled following drummer Alan White   injuring his arm. With nothing to do, the  band got plastered and Liam questioned his   borther and whether his daughter was actually  his and not another mans. A scuffle would ensue   and Noel left the band and Oasis continued  their European tour without their guitarist.  Fast forward to 2005, Oasis was set to  play the Heineken Jammin Festival in Italy.   During the band’s set, Liam abrutply left  the stage during Champagne Supernova.   During an interview that Noel gave  to Spin Magazine around this time   he said some pretty disparaging  things about his brother revealing  “I’ve kind of learnt that instead of arguing  stuff out with him and ending up in a fight,   I work on his psychology and he’s  completely freaked out by me now, He’s   actually frightened to death of me” he'd say. 2008-2009 should have been a time for the band   to celebrate. They would release their  final album 2008’s Dig Out Your Soul.   The album was Oasis best reviewed record since  the one two punch of 1994’s Definitely maybe   and 1995’s What’s the Story Morning Glory.  It was also the highest charting LP of the   last decade for the group and the tour to support  the album was also a massive financial success.  Despite all these accomplishments, relationship  between Liam and Noel hit an all-time low.   The brothers weren’t even talking off stage  as their main form of communication was   taking pot shots at each other on social media. In 2009 Noel gave an interview with Q magazine,   where he made some pretty harsh remarks about his  brother and bandmate saying: He's the angriest man   you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork  in a world of soup.Later that year Noel would   claim “Life would be easier without Oasis.” A week before playing their final show,   cracks were even more evident in an  interview that Liam gave at the time saying  “He doesn’t like me and I don’t like him, that’s  it. We’re grown men, you know what I mean,   and as long as the music … as long as we  do the tour, that’s all that matters.”  The band would play their final gig at the  V-Festival in Staffordshire, england on august 22,   2009. The band just had four gigs left to go on  their world tour, which had already been the mon   the road for a year so far. The band was supposed  to play a second night at the same festival   but their show was cancelled due to what  liam gallagher would claim was laryngitis,   but his brother Noel would claim his brother  wasn't suffering but rather from a hangover.   Liam turned around and sued his brother for libel,  but the lawsuit would be eventually dropped.   It was also reported that Noel took  issue with Liam advertising his   clothing brand in the band’s tour program. The band’s next gig was scheduled to take place   a week later in France and that’s where things  completely fell apart. The band was placed in a   small dressing room and it was probably the  worst thing the promoters could have done.  Noel would claim in 2011 that Liam was angry over  the bad press he had gotten for cancelling their   show the previous week saying He thinks I’m  some sort of puppet master who controls the   media in England,”. “So we get to Paris  and he’s reeling off journalists names.   It’s all manner of people I have never met, ‘ According to the guitarist, Liam then picked   up a plum, lobbed it at the wall, walked out of  the room and then came back wielding a guitar and   started to swing it as his brother's face. The  band had five minutes before hitting the stage   when this all went down but by that point Noel  left and got into a car and decided he was done.   The band didn’t take the stage that night and  several hours later noel put out a statement   saying“It’s with some sadness and great relief to  tell you that I quit tonight,” “People will write   and say what they like, but I simply could  not go on working with Liam a day longer.  Following their split the remaining  members of Oasis continued as beady eye   which went on until 2014. Following their split  Liam would pursue a solo career while Noel form   the group high flying birds. The brothers would  fight back and forth at each other in the press   and on social media. Of course a question of  a reunion still lingers over both brothers   and as recently as this year Liam revealed that  he is would be open to reunite with his brother   once the pandemic is over to raise money  for a National Health Service (NHS) charity.   So that does it for today's video guys.
