Interesting take. Ideally I want Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem, Bell and White. But I think it’s going to be Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem, Sharrock and the current Bassplayer in NGHFB. Maybe White as a guest drummer on a WTSMG song for one of the UK dates. Guigsy - 5% McCarroll - 5% Sharrock - 90% Bell - 50% White - 70% Starkey - 20%
@@timkasansky2528 it's so simple, he wasn't in Beady Eye and NGHFB or both solo projects. Gem does. He just isn't a versatile player. But it'll be good to have him on stage for nostalgic reasons, and perhaps singing the only Oasing song that was meant for him to sing
Alan White is easily the most critical after Noel and Liam. His drumming is part of what made wonderwall what it was. watch the end of champagne supernova at earls court. on the later albums noel wanted to use drum machines more and it killed his unique contribution. and chris/zak were never official members of oasis.
I do hope Alan W. get´s this "seat". A drummer is not a robot, but have a signature sound, and not let White play, it would definitely sound different.
@@michaelpaul3481 With Oasis, yes. It’s just that, with the High Flying Birds, he’s far more focused on playing rhythm-guitar. I’m just hoping that he remembers that he was Oasis’ lead-guitarist!
Yeah, Guigsy was the spleen and Tony McCarroll was the sphincter(just kidding Tony, the drumming in Definitely Maybe is the exact right drumming-you just got sacked because of your curly bonnet)
What's unfortunate for Guigsy -fans is he's not gonna be there, that's for certain. He's not been in contact with any of them in ages, maybe in christmas card terms with Bonehead at most. But as it's been said he's happy living quiet life nowadays.
Yeah, saw in the newspaper the other week that Guigsy was ‘seen in public’ for the first time this century Obviously he’s been out and about but has stayed very low key and out of the limelight. Fair play to him Andy B for me on the bass. He truly brought the bass to Oasis
@@TedGrubersky it’s only because the press would be trying to get a photo of him now more than ever, otherwise they would’ve snapped a picture of him way earlier, he was also seen like last year when a fan took a picture with him in a pub
I think guigs prob struggles to go down the shop at this point unless to get a pack of rizlas, no way is he in shape mentally for these gigs, any gigs...
Alan White had to change the way he played the drums because of Noel, The songs that Noel was writing at the time and the fact that he used a different producer who normally did dancy sort of music, Noel was also using backing tracks and drum loops. Alan’s drumming was also turned down quite a bit in the mix, I heard helter skelter today could hardly hear his drums at all.
I just submitted because of this video first off. Thank you! I personally don’t know if Noel and Liam will make it to the tour, but I’m optimistic about it. I hope to see the Morning Glory lineup return. I believe that record is just as important as Sgt. Pepper as far as songwriting and production overall. My favorite British Rock band of ALL TIME!! Long live Oasis!
Good to hear people discussing this, as to me it wouldn't really be an Oasis reunion if it is just Noel and Liam with some other random musicians, however good they might be. One of the rumours I have heard is that it will just be the High Flying Birds plus Liam...
I had heard it's reported that it was going to be the members of the high flying birds. For the first timeI recently watched that famous nebworth concert that they did. Looks to me like they should get that line up! That was pretty amazing.
I'm sure the contracts will be such that huge penalties will be in place if anyone decides to leave or not show up. As for the band, I would love to see 3 guitars of Gem, Bonehead and Noel, and if only 2, I wouldn't mind Bonehead on bass. So, my band would hopefull be Liam on vocals, Bonehead, Gem, Noel on guitar, Chris S. on drums, Mike R. on Keys, and honestly it doesn't matter who is on bass.
Zak Starkey… I don’t think needs to be invited… he was just a fill-in on an Album & a half… I’d be a big Advocate for Alan White… he was great… he adds authenticity… & was probably the most solid drummer, in the various iterations of the lineup
A rumor I had read about concerning these shows is that The High Flying Birds is going to be the band which does include members who played in Oasis (Gem Archer, Mike Rowe, and Chris Sharrock).
Bonehead is definitely in there & Alan White has dropped hints that he well be too. Technically it could be Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem on Bass + Alan White. Maybe Mike Rowe on Keyboards too as he was part of the Oasis Tours on & off since '97.
Good breakdown. I reckon it'll be the 3 guitars, Gem/Bonehead//Noel, Russ on bass as he's not in the Zutons anymore and superb backing vocalist and Chris Sharrock on drums as he's versatile and well experienced and has a brilliant cv. Will cover all the eras easily then. Bonehead just smashin out rhythm at the back is well needed. Then again Bonehead has played bass before...
If Noel doesn't show up for the shows, Matt Deighton or anyone else for that matter are not substitutes. People bought tickets to see Noel and Liam on stage together. There will be riots.
Probably going to be the 2000 line-up with someone else on drums than Alan White. I think if Bonehead had plans to join them he would have been in the Wembley pitch line-up. He might be a special guest for one song on one of the nights at Heaton park.
Maybe Tony. On the internet when getting tickets the question was about him. Stranger things have happened. Also, him and Liam met last Christmas and had a good chat apparently.
@@NickCinoMusicwould Guigsy be capable of playing the later Oasis songs though? It would be cool if they could have the original line-up do the 90s songs and then have Gen and Andy play the post-00s songs.
Agree Bonehead 100% Guigsy - 1%. Hasn’t played live for decades. Not going to be trusted with the largest tour this country has ever seen. McCarroll - 0.00000% Not physically capable of playing the material live. Never going to happen. Alan White - 30% at best. Would be a popular choice but hasn’t played a major show in 20 years. There’s no chance to get up to speed, they have to be on it from the word go. Steve White - wouldn’t make much sense. Agree Gem - 100%, Sharrock 90+% Could step up to the gig right now. Noel rates him and can rely on him without any worries of any issues. Andy Bell - 20% seems to be doing his own thing Russell Pritchard - 90%. Same as Sharrock, he’s trusted by Noel and is a pro. That’s more important than having played with the band back in the day at this point. Also don’t forget… MIKE ROWE!90%. Played keys for Oasis back in the day and has been playing for NGHFB for a long time. Noel enjoys playing with him and again is a total pro.
Was it the Toronto gig that you got drenched? I was there too and got soaked as well waiting to get in. I was a bit further from the stage but had a great view. They sounded amazing that night!
Wow, they have enough great musicians to make 2-3 full rock bands! I hope we get some new Oasis music out of this and our boys drag along some top notch up and coming British Indy rock bands with them, with a classic band or two. I hope that it's done in a way to spur on a real rock revival.
My ideal reunion line up would be: Liam Gallagher - vocals, tambourine Noel Gallagher - lead and rhythm guitar, vocals Gem Archer - rhythm and lead guitar Andy Bell - bass guitar Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs - rhythm guitar Chris Sharrock - drums, percussion Jay Darlington - keyboards
In a way it's going to be a traveling jukebox memory lane tour, so definitely maybe the bros. will mix & match many of the contenders you mench here on different legs of it.
The show you spoke of must have been at Molson Amphitheater in Toronto. I was there, soaked as well. If so, I had no idea it wasn’t Alan White on the drums.
I hope Zakk Starkey is on drum because he gives them that Who sound. Andy and Gem are the better sounding of the rhythm section as well as Gem on lead but I would love to see Bonehead on guitar with the rest of them and if they don't its a big wasted opportunity if they don't. I don't think Gwigsy was that important in the sound, or Carol for that matter.
Alan white won’t be there due to how he was treated by Noel , Bonehead was essentially kicked out of the band by Noel as well … Tony Mccaroll definitely won’t be there …. Andy Bell is touring with his band Ride and may not want to screw them over for a small UK tour with limited dates …Guigsy quit and hasn’t had contact with anyone but Bonehead so it’s pretty much a certainty…Liam doesn’t really need the Tour other than making a bit extra cash that he was drawing anyways with his sold out concerts…. People think this is a full reformation but I thinks it’s actually Noel paying for his divorce, I’d be surprised if more than a few singles are released .. kinda like the Stone Roses reunion. So that leaves Gem , Zac Starkey …. Noel likes the control he has with his new band .., I can’t see him and Liam making a full run at Oasis again .. and that may be for the best.
Aren't liam and noel going to do a press conference interview at some point in the run up to the big reunion, like stone roses did a propper reunion announcement.
Re, Allan White, I take your point in a sense about the 'shuffle' flow, HOWEVER (LOL). Allan Smith owns 'Wonderwall & Don't look back in anger,' in my opinion. His signature style is forever indelible and recognised. We all know what's coming when we listen to those tunes.
Some crazy high %s Guigsy; didn't play much on DM but played a lot of bass on the following two albums when everything was recorded to a click / a noel acoustic guitar. But he's stayed out the limelight ever since, so I'd give him maybe 5% Tony mccarrol; often talks about oasis and has said he'd be very open to a return. He won't do the full gig but potentially come on for a few (highly unlikely though) 10% Alan white; been teasing that he might want back in but again I can't see Oasis swapping drummers mid gig 15% Zak Starkey? maybe if chris can't do it, but chris was the last drummer - he never technically left - and has played with beady eye and the high flying birds 95% for chris. I'd give Zak a similar number if chris cant make it Gem and bonehead 100% Andy 80%, Russ Pritchard, 10% (obviously higher is andy doesn't do it) Matt Deighton 0% Steve white 0% ( has actually criticised oasis since his spell and there's about 5 drummers ahead of him)
Would love to see original line up, McCarroll might not have been up to it back then but I bet he is now, White is putting stuff on social media playing Oasis songs maybe he’s putting his hat in the ring
No chance. I'm 100% sure Noel is going to pick Gem. He's better than Bonehead by miles, plus Gem is Noel's right hand man. Bonehead should only be considered as a special guest.😊
Alan White had to change the way he played the drums because of Noel, The songs that Noel was writing at the time and the fact that he used a different producer who normally did dancy sort of music, Noel was also using backing tracks and drum loops. Alan’s drumming was also turned down quite a bit in the mix, I heard helter skelter today could hardly hear his drums at all. Alan is by far the best oasis drummer and he’s the one that should be on tour with them.
Liam, noel, bonehead, gem, bassist from hfb, Alan white, keyboardist from kula shaker who’s played with oasis and nfb, potentially guigsy for the Manchester gigs
The news about Oasis reunion always focus on Noel and Liam... I know that they're the most important members (probably). But they won't go to the stage as a 2 member band, and Oasis was always a band, not a duo. Finally a video that focus on this subject.
The only one from the original line-up that is a must is Bonehead, and he probably will as he played with Liam just a few years ago. So Bonehead, Bell, and Gem. On the drums...i don't care too much about that as i don't even remember who took the job after White was fired.
I think Gem and Noel will be the guitarists. Andy would be the most suitable choice on bass and as a drummer it's between Chris and Alan. Bonehead would only participate as a special guest, although personally I don't care if he's there or not. In any case, the ones that really matter are Liam and Noel.
Noel will be calling the shots musically and he will want to stay in his comfort zone as much as possible, so expect NGHFB core line up with Bonehead guesting on some DM songs only, as Noel will not want to adapt back to playing with Bonehead rather than Gem on songs like DLBIA
I think as far as Noel is concerned he is doing Liam and the fans a favour by agreeing to reform, so I doubt he will be sentimental about trying to get original/past members back with the exception of Bonehead whose inclusion was probably specifically requested by Liam as a non negotiable
Noel’s not going to go from playing with very capable and pro musicians for 20 odd years back to playing with guigsy and mccarroll. That’s not a chance he’s going to be willing to take in stadiums.
My bet is on HFB + Liam (that being Noel, Liam, Gem, Chris, Mikey, Russ), likely Bonehead too for songs. People who dismiss the post-2000 lineup are just silly when the band were still selling out stadiums and producing some of their biggest hits. Their best lineup too.
Post 2000 was their best line up? No chance. Original one was the best. Live by the sea is them at their live peak. Knebworth, Maine road close second.
I'm guessing Oasis '25 will likely be - Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem... and possibly Chris Sharrock (drums) w/ either Russell Pritchard (from Noel Gallagher's High flying Birds) or Drew McConnell (Liam's solo band) on bass... Either Mike Rowe (High flying Birds) or Christian Madden (Liam's solo band) on keyboards... but knowing Noel Gallagher and his controlling tendencies, he will likely pick members of the High Flying Birds. However, Liam Gallagher has plenty of talent in his solo band that can be included in Oasis if needed - Mike Moore (guitar)... Dan McDougall (drums)... Jay Mehler (guitar or bass)... I'm hoping he will have a 4th solo studio album and a 2nd John Squire album.
There's nothing stopping the line up changing throughout each gig. Bonehead for the 94-97 stuff heading off stage for Gem to do the 99-09 stuff being prime example. Drummer? Share it with Alan White and Chris Sharrock. The bass gets tricky. I'd pick Andy Bell but would love Guigsy to get a payday, so if he could do the odd song. Then you've got guest appearances- Get your money on Weller and Marr . .
They need atleast bonehead and Alan white in the line up! these guys from the 90’s who recorded there most hit songs that made oasis famous, having these two would be honouring there loyal fans
My choices possibility line up; Bonehead 100% Gem Archer 90% Alan White 80% Chris Sharrock 60% Andy Bell 50% Tony McCaroll - Guigsy 20% Mike Rowe 70% (because he always have together with Noel Over the year with HFB too) PS; Im always hoping theyre all of members comeback if that happening
You know your stuff! Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem, it’s the drummer that needs thought. Id like it to be Alan White. Not sure he’ll get it. What would be best is appearances by everyone, even if it’s just for one song for some of them. Alan stopped turning up, his priorities changed & he couldn’t be bothered anymore with the band dynamics.
I heard he had personal issues, Which Noel and Liam both had but it was ok for them both to bail on tours. It seems to be it’s ok for them to do it but not anyone else.
Guigsy won't be there, that's for certain. He's not been in contact with any of them in ages, maybe in christmas card terms with Bonehead at most. But he's happy living quiet life nowadays.
I'm sorry but Whitey has to be the drummer for their reunion tour man. He was the backbone of their 90's live sound 95 thru 2001. He came up with some sick grooves on Wonderwall, DLBIA, etc. Bonehead is a given. They can make due without Guigsy as a four piece, but Guigsy would be sorely missed by the hardcore fans.
The take in the UK is that it’s basically either the HFB main live line up (excluding stuff like scissors player) with Bonehead joining Or, that it’s the DOYS final Oasis line up but with Bonehead joining Then the third spin is that it’s the above with Alan White on drums instead of Chris Personally I’d go for this - big love to Alan’s drumming work
Alan White missed a meeting and Liam was tired of him and made Noel fire him as Noel already wanted him gone. His drumming was to jazz and not rock He was depressed and had tendinitis
Liam , Noel , Bonehead , Andy Bell and Zak Starkey, is my bet. Starkey drummed with Oasis and with Johnny Marr which i think makes him favourite , plus he is more of a name, I think Chris Sharrock is too close to high flying birds and Liam may want someone neutral. My wanted list would be Liam , Noel , Bonehead , Gem , Andy Bell and Alan White , as they were in Oasis the longest except for Guigsy, and I very much doubt Guigsy will be back , I dont even know if he plays bass anymore , I haven't heard his name with any bands or anything , so I just think he won't play , I've a feeling he will get an invite though to be backstage. Then I imagine Johnny Marr and or John Squire will be guest guitarists.
Because at the same time as Bonehead’s value… Gem Archer is probably even more valuable. As he contributed some songwriting credits to some tracks on Albums.
The best thing about Gem is he knows when not to play, and his dynamics on guitar is far more superior but yeah it would be nice for a three guitar line up with Bonehead there as well because I suspect that it was down to him getting the rift patched up between Noel and Liam.
It’ll only be Bonehead if Noel wants 3 guitarists. I went to a recent HFBs concert and Noel only played one full solo all gig. There’s no chance he’d want to take on the lead guitarist role again. So Gem Archer is nailed on. I agree that it’s more likely he’ll make a guest appearance, maybe for the encores.
Aside from who I would like to see, I think for the cash grab it’ll be Liam & Noel and some session players. I think any previous members will command a revenue share that Liam & Noel will want to avoid.
I could see Tony and Guigsy coming back to play a couple Definitely Maybe songs at the Manchester shows. Just for nostalgia's sake. The impact of getting the original five on stage if just for one song would be incredible. I could see them doing Live Forever.
How can the drummer discussion add to well over 100%? Alan white, Steve white and Tony were a combined 75% but then Chris Sharrock was 90%?!?! Then Zak at 30% … Shouldn’t these add to 100%? I mean, if Chris Sharrock is a 90% chance of being the drummer of the band on this tour then the other drummers should be a combined 10%.
Hoping that Paul & Ringo re-join the band
And Noddy Holder or Johnny Rotten on vocals😁
Gem and Andy Bell always made Liam and Noel look cool
Anyone looks cool compared to the little hobbit Noel 😁🤣😅🤣

I saw that Alan posted an image of his Oasis swirly Jack drum kit in his Twitter…sounds more than 60% possibly…
Interesting take.
Ideally I want Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem, Bell and White.
But I think it’s going to be Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem, Sharrock and the current Bassplayer in NGHFB. Maybe White as a guest drummer on a WTSMG song for one of the UK dates.
Guigsy - 5%
McCarroll - 5%
Sharrock - 90%
Bell - 50%
White - 70%
Starkey - 20%
Whitey !
Very underrated drummer imho…
( listen to the isolated drum tracks of Wonderwall and DLBIA!)
Guigsy - 5%
McCarroll - 5%
this is hopeful
McCarroll 0%. No way will they include him. Which is a shame. That’s my favourite era of Oasis. When they was most true to themselves
I agree, 3 piece guitar section would really help replicate the album sound while maintaining that raw live edge
Bonehead is a MUST! those first three records had a vastness that couldn't be reproduced once Bonehead left. Great video 🤘
Get yourself a Gibson ES & whatever amp Oasis used, learn a few basic bar chords & strumming, you will sound like Bonehead
Exactly, Bonehead was the Oasis sound.
@@arfahlaade6463 not that simple. He did play it in a way Gem didn't. And the songs, mostly the rockers, did sound worse once he left.

The show you spoke of must have been at Molson Amphitheater in Toronto. I was there, soaked as well. If so, I had no idea it wasn’t Alan White on the drums.
Yeah it was the Tour of Brotherly Love in 2001, got soaked on the way in the venue! Alan was out for that tour so Steve sat in
I hope Zakk Starkey is on drum because he gives them that Who sound.
Andy and Gem are the better sounding of the rhythm section as well as Gem on lead but I would love to see Bonehead on guitar with the rest of them and if they don't its a big wasted opportunity if they don't.
I don't think Gwigsy was that important in the sound, or Carol for that matter.
Alan white won’t be there due to how he was treated by Noel , Bonehead was essentially kicked out of the band by Noel as well … Tony Mccaroll definitely won’t be there …. Andy Bell is touring with his band Ride and may not want to screw them over for a small UK tour with limited dates …Guigsy quit and hasn’t had contact with anyone but Bonehead so it’s pretty much a certainty…Liam doesn’t really need the Tour other than making a bit extra cash that he was drawing anyways with his sold out concerts…. People think this is a full reformation but I thinks it’s actually Noel paying for his divorce, I’d be surprised if more than a few singles are released .. kinda like the Stone Roses reunion. So that leaves Gem , Zac Starkey …. Noel likes the control he has with his new band .., I can’t see him and Liam making a full run at Oasis again .. and that may be for the best.
Lol Noel sure has burned more than a few bridges over the years
Ride are touring now and haven't got any tour dates past December booked in.
Aren't liam and noel going to do a press conference interview at some point in the run up to the big reunion, like stone roses did a propper reunion announcement.
I honestly don't think they have even spoke yet... They obviously will but I would be surprised at this point, that photo was clearly edited!!
Re, Allan White, I take your point in a sense about the 'shuffle' flow, HOWEVER (LOL). Allan Smith owns 'Wonderwall & Don't look back in anger,' in my opinion. His signature style is forever indelible and recognised. We all know what's coming when we listen to those tunes.
Totally, his drumming on those songs is unmatched! I think it's his drumming on the Defintely Maybe songs live that I dont like
Some crazy high %s
Guigsy; didn't play much on DM but played a lot of bass on the following two albums when everything was recorded to a click / a noel acoustic guitar. But he's stayed out the limelight ever since, so I'd give him maybe 5%
Tony mccarrol; often talks about oasis and has said he'd be very open to a return. He won't do the full gig but potentially come on for a few (highly unlikely though) 10%
Alan white; been teasing that he might want back in but again I can't see Oasis swapping drummers mid gig 15%
Zak Starkey? maybe if chris can't do it, but chris was the last drummer - he never technically left - and has played with beady eye and the high flying birds 95% for chris. I'd give Zak a similar number if chris cant make it
Gem and bonehead 100%
Andy 80%,
Russ Pritchard, 10% (obviously higher is andy doesn't do it)
Matt Deighton 0%
Steve white 0% ( has actually criticised oasis since his spell and there's about 5 drummers ahead of him)
Would love to see original line up, McCarroll might not have been up to it back then but I bet he is now, White is putting stuff on social media playing Oasis songs maybe he’s putting his hat in the ring
I dont think they are going to go with 3 guitars. So i would say its either Gem or Bonehead, personally I want to see Bonehead for nostalgia
No chance. I'm 100% sure Noel is going to pick Gem. He's better than Bonehead by miles, plus Gem is Noel's right hand man. Bonehead should only be considered as a special guest.😊
Bonehead has got too be there that's what the fans want
I am. On scissors.
What?
You looking at me?
You will be😂
Best guess for me: Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem, Chris Sharrock (drums), Russell Pritchard (bass).
I think the line up will change during the show depending on the songs. Explains the ticket prices too.
That would be cool to see
@@NickCinoMusic we’ll see eventually
Alan White had to change the way he played the drums because of Noel, The songs that Noel was writing at the time and the fact that he used a different producer who normally did dancy sort of music, Noel was also using backing tracks and drum loops. Alan’s drumming was also turned down quite a bit in the mix, I heard helter skelter today could hardly hear his drums at all. Alan is by far the best oasis drummer and he’s the one that should be on tour with them.
If I were them I'd get as close to the original lineup as possible.. but not holding my breath.
Guigsy and Alan White
Liam, noel, bonehead, gem, bassist from hfb, Alan white, keyboardist from kula shaker who’s played with oasis and nfb, potentially guigsy for the Manchester gigs
You got to go whitey on drums, bonehead and gem on rythym, Andy bell on base. Noel and Liam are first names on the team sheet obvs
That's the best lineup for sure
The news about Oasis reunion always focus on Noel and Liam... I know that they're the most important members (probably). But they won't go to the stage as a 2 member band, and Oasis was always a band, not a duo. Finally a video that focus on this subject.
You're right they aren't a duo, im excited to see who else will be on stage with them
The only one from the original line-up that is a must is Bonehead, and he probably will as he played with Liam just a few years ago.
So Bonehead, Bell, and Gem.
On the drums...i don't care too much about that as i don't even remember who took the job after White was fired.
I think Gem and Noel will be the guitarists. Andy would be the most suitable choice on bass and as a drummer it's between Chris and Alan. Bonehead would only participate as a special guest, although personally I don't care if he's there or not. In any case, the ones that really matter are Liam and Noel.
This is like speculating England's opening 11 and which position everyone would play.
It's a tough job but someone had to do it lol
Haha true .. except Oasis don’t bottle it
Noel will be calling the shots musically and he will want to stay in his comfort zone as much as possible, so expect NGHFB core line up with Bonehead guesting on some DM songs only, as Noel will not want to adapt back to playing with Bonehead rather than Gem on songs like DLBIA
I think as far as Noel is concerned he is doing Liam and the fans a favour by agreeing to reform, so I doubt he will be sentimental about trying to get original/past members back with the exception of Bonehead whose inclusion was probably specifically requested by Liam as a non negotiable
Totally agreed.
Noel’s not going to go from playing with very capable and pro musicians for 20 odd years back to playing with guigsy and mccarroll. That’s not a chance he’s going to be willing to take in stadiums.
Same here.
True but the rough around the edges vibe from that lineup made Oasis imo. Later Oasis were better musicians but too polished for my liking.
Great video 😀 defo can't see McCarroll or Guigsy coming back aswell
Thanks for watching!
If it's Liam and yer granny on bongos...it's Oasis.
My bet is on HFB + Liam (that being Noel, Liam, Gem, Chris, Mikey, Russ), likely Bonehead too for songs. People who dismiss the post-2000 lineup are just silly when the band were still selling out stadiums and producing some of their biggest hits. Their best lineup too.
Post 2000 was their best line up? No chance. Original one was the best. Live by the sea is them at their live peak. Knebworth, Maine road close second.
Leave it out son
I'm with you. Gem and Andy were the best thing that could have happened to Oasis.
🤦@@shekespearecub
I'm guessing Oasis '25 will likely be - Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem... and possibly Chris Sharrock (drums) w/ either Russell Pritchard (from Noel Gallagher's High flying Birds) or Drew McConnell (Liam's solo band) on bass... Either Mike Rowe (High flying Birds) or Christian Madden (Liam's solo band) on keyboards... but knowing Noel Gallagher and his controlling tendencies, he will likely pick members of the High Flying Birds.
However, Liam Gallagher has plenty of talent in his solo band that can be included in Oasis if needed - Mike Moore (guitar)... Dan McDougall (drums)... Jay Mehler (guitar or bass)... I'm hoping he will have a 4th solo studio album and a 2nd John Squire album.
You missed Scott McLeod on bass!
Alan White on drums or BUST! Bonehead is a MUST
Both would be great!
i wish gem would have sang in oasis dude was good in heavy stereo
Totally, talented dude
There's nothing stopping the line up changing throughout each gig.
Bonehead for the 94-97 stuff heading off stage for Gem to do the 99-09 stuff being prime example.
Drummer? Share it with Alan White and Chris Sharrock.
The bass gets tricky. I'd pick Andy Bell but would love Guigsy to get a payday, so if he could do the odd song.
Then you've got guest appearances- Get your money on Weller and Marr . .
A rotating lineup would be cool!
lol no It will be the same line up throughout. How on earth could you rehearse shows for a start.
Not sure if guigsy can even still play bass tbh
They need atleast bonehead and Alan white in the line up! these guys from the 90’s who recorded there most hit songs that made oasis famous, having these two would be honouring there loyal fans
Gem archer is a fantastic guitarist, he insane not to involve him
My choices possibility line up;
Bonehead 100%
Gem Archer 90%
Alan White 80%
Chris Sharrock 60%
Andy Bell 50%
Tony McCaroll - Guigsy 20%
Mike Rowe 70% (because he always have together with Noel Over the year with HFB too)
PS; Im always hoping theyre all of members comeback if that happening
You know your stuff! Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem, it’s the drummer that needs thought. Id like it to be Alan White. Not sure he’ll get it. What would be best is appearances by everyone, even if it’s just for one song for some of them.
Alan stopped turning up, his priorities changed & he couldn’t be bothered anymore with the band dynamics.
I heard he had personal issues, Which Noel and Liam both had but it was ok for them both to bail on tours. It seems to be it’s ok for them to do it but not anyone else.
Guigsy won't be there, that's for certain.
He's not been in contact with any of them in ages, maybe in christmas card terms with Bonehead at most. But he's happy living quiet life nowadays.
He deserves his quiet life, maybe he'll attend one of the gigs as a guest
I'm sorry but Whitey has to be the drummer for their reunion tour man. He was the backbone of their 90's live sound 95 thru 2001.
He came up with some sick grooves on Wonderwall, DLBIA, etc.
Bonehead is a given. They can make due without Guigsy as a four piece, but Guigsy would be sorely missed by the hardcore fans.
Alan needs to come back
Alan White on drums again would be great.
It would be cool to see him again
They might get Tony up for supersonic maybe..
Hell no.
Hell yes
@@robertocaba5915No chance man.
They need Paul Stacey on keyboards too. He gave guitar lessons to Noel. 🤔
Definitely, he's awesome
It should definitely have bonehead, andy, gem, chris and maybe john squire fir champagne supernova 👀
Oh yeah Squires gotta rip that solo on Supernova!
The take in the UK is that it’s basically either the HFB main live line up (excluding stuff like scissors player) with Bonehead joining
Or, that it’s the DOYS final Oasis line up but with Bonehead joining
Then the third spin is that it’s the above with Alan White on drums instead of Chris
Personally I’d go for this - big love to Alan’s drumming work
The 'scissors player' is a lady called Charlotte and she left the band in 2018.
My word, you're ignorant, aren't you?
Apparently Paul mccartney is on bass, and Ringo is on Drums... George and John will be holograms. ✌
Sounds good to me! Lol
Alan whites drumming was tame
Alan White missed a meeting and Liam was tired of him and made Noel fire him as Noel already wanted him gone.
His drumming was to jazz and not rock
He was depressed and had tendinitis
Just leave the deer stalker hat and backing singers with matching dance moves at home
It has to be the original band for me with Alan White on drums. He’s easily the best oasis drummer for me.
Noel, Liam, Bonehead, Alan White (if he ever talked to Noel again), and Gem on bass.
Or bonehead on bass. He’s done it before.
Gem on bass, interesting!
Liam , Noel , Bonehead , Andy Bell and Zak Starkey, is my bet.
Starkey drummed with Oasis and with Johnny Marr which i think makes him favourite , plus he is more of a name, I think Chris Sharrock is too close to high flying birds and Liam may want someone neutral.
My wanted list would be Liam , Noel , Bonehead , Gem , Andy Bell and Alan White , as they were in Oasis the longest except for Guigsy, and I very much doubt Guigsy will be back , I dont even know if he plays bass anymore , I haven't heard his name with any bands or anything , so I just think he won't play , I've a feeling he will get an invite though to be backstage.
Then I imagine Johnny Marr and or John Squire will be guest guitarists.
Because at the same time as Bonehead’s value… Gem Archer is probably even more valuable. As he contributed some songwriting credits to some tracks on Albums.
Totally, Gem is awesome
The best thing about Gem is he knows when not to play, and his dynamics on guitar is far more superior but yeah it would be nice for a three guitar line up with Bonehead there as well because I suspect that it was down to him getting the rift patched up between Noel and Liam.
F that fraud
Investeren seen Matt back in Werchter 2000. He fit the job description.
Quoaisis tribute band. Like watching paint dry live. Sound great on record though.
It’ll only be Bonehead if Noel wants 3 guitarists. I went to a recent HFBs concert and Noel only played one full solo all gig. There’s no chance he’d want to take on the lead guitarist role again. So Gem Archer is nailed on. I agree that it’s more likely he’ll make a guest appearance, maybe for the encores.
It'd be interesting to hear Oasis with 3 guitars, although Noel might find it ridiculous lol
Gem’s looking like Paul Weller lol.
Lol totally!
I'd bet that the Drums and the Bass will be played by outsourced studio musicians that nobody knows who they are.
Bonehead looked like Frank Sidebottom when he was younger
Aside from who I would like to see, I think for the cash grab it’ll be Liam & Noel and some session players. I think any previous members will command a revenue share that Liam & Noel will want to avoid.
Alan, Bonhead and Gem are in for sure. Andy won't be as he's busy with Ride. I think it'll be Russ for HFB.
I think the trailer they released with the formal reunion announcement may be a big clue as to who is coming back, hear me out 🤘🏼
I think you're right! Excited to finally find out who will be up there with Liam and Noel 🤘
@@NickCinoMusic nothing short of angelic will be up there with the god bros
The trailer pretty much focuses on Noel and Liam the entire time, and shows Bonehead for 2 shots.
I could see Tony and Guigsy coming back to play a couple Definitely Maybe songs at the Manchester shows. Just for nostalgia's sake. The impact of getting the original five on stage if just for one song would be incredible. I could see them doing Live Forever.
I highly doubt it.
I was typing "if Noel doesn't show up it won't be an oasis reunion" just before you said, "I'm joking". Lol
Haha!
What does OG mean?
Original
@@NickCinoMusic got it. Cheers 🍻
How can the drummer discussion add to well over 100%?
Alan white, Steve white and Tony were a combined 75% but then Chris Sharrock was 90%?!?! Then Zak at 30% … Shouldn’t these add to 100%?
I mean, if Chris Sharrock is a 90% chance of being the drummer of the band on this tour then the other drummers should be a combined 10%.
