I just have one question…What’s up with my favorite bands losing members?
-
Earlier this week So Many Dynamos announced that guitarist Ryan Wasoba was leaving the band but being replaced by Nathan Bernaix of Target Market. Unlike SMD, however, Oasis claims that they are breaking up…what does that make? The thirteenth time? But this time it might be true because this time it is actually Noel Gallagher who decided to leave. In the past it has always been his brother, Liam, who wanted out.
-
The Gallagher vs. Gallagher fight happened backstage moments before performing at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Fellow Festival singer Amy MacDonald posted a Twitter Tweet saying, “Oasis cancelled again with one minute to stage time! Liam smashed Noel’s guitar, huuuge fight!” Besides the festival, Oasis was scheduled for a European tour.
-
Noel issued a statement/apology via myspace saying, “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer. Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz, and Milan.”
-
I’m reluctant to think that Oasis is really really over (is this just another wolf cry?). But one thing is certain, fans are itching for a Noel Gallagher solo album if Oasis does end. After all, the majority of Oasis’s songs were written by him.
-
And “that’s the story.”
-
To end I’d like to share a youtube video of my favorite Oasis song, It’s Getting Better (Man) (Be Here Now)
