Noel Gallagher accusesed his younger brother Liam saying that he’s trying to “rewrite history” of Oasis’ “dreadful” final year.
Noel Gallagher has criticised his brother Liam Gallagher for trying to “rewrite history” about Oasis‘ final year.
The comments follow Liam’s announcement of the “Definitely Maybe” 30th anniversary tour, scheduled for 2024.
Liam Gallagher plans to tour with former Oasis guitarist Bonehead, but Noel Gallagher refused to take part.
On X (formerly Twitter), Liam said Noel was asked but declined the offer to join the tour.
Oasis split in 2009 after a backstage fight in Paris before the Rock en Seine festival.
Noel Gallagher wrote then: “It’s with sadness and great relief I quit Oasis tonight.”
He added: “I simply could not work with Liam one more day.”
Recently, Noel Gallagher said Oasis‘ final year was “dreadful” and full of unhappiness.
According to the Daily Star, Noel said: “The last tour wasn’t happy.”
He continued: “The other fella is trying to rewrite history like it was all great. It wasn’t.”
“It was a dreadful last year of Oasis. Life is short. Why waste it being unhappy?”
In June, NME asked Noel about Oasis and reunion tours from Blur and Pulp.
He said: “Good luck to them! Blur never split up, did they? Pulp just did other things. That’s the adult way.”
He added: “Sadly, my band were far from adult. It was more crash and burn.”
NME asked if Noel had offers to reunite Oasis. He replied: “It will happen eventually.”
He said: “There’s never been a serious offer to get The Big O back together.”
In March, Noel Gallagher told talkSPORT that it’s up to Liam to reunite Oasis.
He said: “I put it out there, he won’t call, he should call me.”
“He’s always going on about it. You’d think he’d have a plan by now.”
“He doesn’t speak to me. He’s a coward.”
Noel continued: “He should get his agent to call mine. Then we can talk.”
“Until then, he’s being disingenuous.”
In a MOJO interview, Noel Gallagher said Oasis was better than Blur, Pulp, and The Stone Roses.
He remembered the early days of Oasis and their confidence in success.
He said: “They had one or two great songs. We had twelve.”
“However loud they were, we were louder. However good, we were better.”
“They were all great bands. But we were better. Simple as that.”
Noel Gallagher also called ‘Definitely Maybe’ “the last great punk album.”
He said: “We were a punk band with Beatles melodies.”
“We had no effects. Just attitude, twelve Red Stripes, and ambition.”
