Not too surprising... I really hope Noel just goes out on his own, then we all win.

I know it isn't cool on the internet to like them anymore, but that sucks. I really liked their last 2 albums.
We'll see if this one takes though.

Seems pretty selfish of the band (or Noel) to just scrap it during the middle of a tour, canceling a show virtually leaving fans completely screwed. Lucky a riot didn't ensue. Couldn't they just have fulfilled their commitments and then split up? I would think that the band would be getting their financial asses handed to them by concert promoters for not fulfilling their contractual obligation to perform barring unforeseen circumstance (e.g. sudden illness or injury, catastrophe of some sort, etc.). I don't think getting into an argument with your brother would qualify.

I think someone should take everything they've loosely recorded, fit it together as songs, release it as a compilation labeled as Couple O' Twats, and just be done with it. Then make it illegal for them to ever pick up an instrument, step onto a stage, or walk into a recording studio ever again. The end. Bye-bye. Won't miss you.

I had no idea that these one-hit wonders were still around.

Sounds like Noel is looking back in anger. I heard somewhere you're not supposed to do that.
The real shame of it is that these guys are brothers and they can't get along. I'm not particularly close to my family, but I like to think if I were in a band with one of my brothers, it would be a good experience.

Every time I watch this video, and they go into the first chorus and the crowd starts singing, I get chills. As someone who writes songs as a hobby, I can't even imagine what it would be like to have a hundred thousand people sing your own words to you. It's got to be the most amazing feeling in the world.

Why dont they just kick out the asshole brother and continue on. Oasis unplugged is one of my favorite unplugged shows and ass hole was not even on stage. I don't think they would sell one less ticket or cd if they kicked him out, infact was there 2 or 3 cd pratically recorded without asshole?

I, like most everyone else I suspect, didn't even know they were still together.
Maybe they're just trying to grab a headline to remind the world they're still around. They used to 'gimmick it up' at that infighting stuff a lot a while back.

Not true, you're saying this with a US bias. On a UK based music board I frequent, Oasis' breakup (even tho I think they'll get back together before you know it, they do this all the time) is getting the type of reactions and attention similar to MJ's death. They may be largely forgotten and considered niche here, but in the UK, they are rock royalty and one of the biggest bands of all time.

It would be nice to be able to work with my brother and make a nice living while at it. Too bad people some famous people can't get over their problems and see that they have it much easier than a lot of people out there.

For the record, Oasis had...
ONE Top 40 hit on the general Billboard Singles chart
SIX Top 40 hits on Billboard's "Mainstream Rock" niche chart
FIFTEEN Top 40 hits on Billboard's "Modern Rock" niche chart
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oasis_discography#Singles
I think that when most people refer to hit singles, they mean the general Billboard singles chart, so yeah, one hit wonder as far as America is concerned

I was never a big fan of them and honestly the only song that I even remember was Wonderwall. I had a bootleg copy of a Beastie Boys cover of it and I liked it better than theirs.. but, yeah, I didn't know they were still together.
I bought some Oasis add-on for a friend of mine on Rock Band back in 2007 or so and even then I recall wondering if they were still around.
Was anyone here a die-hard fan?
