The circle is now complete. James made his video about the Oasis reunion. Thank you for all the content you've created on this platform; you're one of the people responsible for keeping this band's flame burning bright. I'm looking forward to the new content that's yet to come, and I'm sure there will be many new stories to talk about from now on. Thank you very much, mate!
Remember that Noel was recording an acoustic and sad album then stopped and said that he now wanted to make a rock album? Well I guess we all know who is gonna sing it PS: I wrote this comment before watching the whole video and James talks about this
Maybe they could do it kind of like when Survivor reunited, they brought in both singers, Dave Bickler singing "Eye of the Tiger" and Jimi Jamison singing "Burning Heart". Do you know what I mean? Noel knows all of us fans love Bonehead. If they're having a 30-year cellebration of their legacy, I think Bonehead has to be there, at least for the songs he originally played on.
Considering you have kept a candle burning for so long with so many fantastic videos for Oasis, I think they should give you a freebie for each date - Noel, Liam; you gotta make it happen. Good luck getting some though.
I was thinking about Liam's song "One Of Us", it says "Hey kid did you now? Today sixteen years ago it was you and I for the last time" ---> (2009-2025). All planned?😬 Or maybe just a coincidence
Since the announcement this morning, I've been looking forward to your video on this James. Just wanna say fair play to you for helping to keep the Oasis name alive and relevant for the last few years with your great content, helping new fans understand and appreciate the band! Also isn't it great to see Oasis everywhere. Theres a real buzz and positivity in the air since the news broke and everyone I know is talking about it and planning to get tickets.
I really hope they’re older and wise enough to keep this new chapter positive and when it ends, it ends on good terms. I think they’re calmer people now, with Liam not drinking as much and Noel appearing much more chilled in interviews.
I think it will be bro. 15 years, both are alot older, all the other shits in the past now. These gigs will be sick but I think that will be it after that. I dont want them to reform. Just a send off gig for all the fans. I am 26 I never got to see Oasis live, I seen Liam and Noel both multiple times but life will feel complete if I get to see them both under Oasis.
We can probably say goodbye to deep cuts like 'Cloudburst', 'I Will Believe', or even 'Listen Up' tho. It's most likely going to be the usual greatest hits with Liam, plus 20 minutes of Noel's acoustic set.
@@dlovas I'm not sure, Liam's definitely maybe tour has went down a storm, proper Oasis stuff, but the masses, will want all the commercial hits, I'm just buzzing having them back & hopefully they've still got it 🙏
@@wes1663good on you its good to see the younger generation loving and experiencing Oasis like we did all those years ago , they might not sound as good as they did 30 years ago , but i garuntee they sound brill live again ,much better than anyone around ,I think youll hear the classics from ( WTSMG ) album like Cast no shadow & Hey now imo , enjoy 🤝❤️✌️
Beginning of 2023, when Noel (already divorced) in an interview got asked how he was getting on with Liam now and he replied "Brilliant! He's just taking a year off to 'find himself'" was when I started believing. The way he excitedly said "Brilliant!" to me said it all. When I heard him say that, I thought to myself "He's just going to tour Council Skies, and then reunite for the 30th anniversaries (DM and WTSMG)." Looks like I was right.
I know I’ll never be able to afford travelling to England to see them. But I hope every Oasis fan that can see them live next year have the time of their lives. I’m just so glad they’re coming back together. Also get the entire crew together - Alan White, Gugisy, Bonehead, Andy Bell and Gem archer. Just for the lols
I never gave up hope. As a 13yr old I begged my dad to take me in 2009, he said i was too young. Ive sure had to be patient…..Drink it in James you deserve it.
I saw Oasis perform on February 5th, 1995 @ Nile Theater, Mesa, Arizona. There were only 80 or so people in the audience. Put on a great show. Before the show, I walked by the tour bus parked in front of the venue. Liam was playing an acoustic guitar, and Noel was riding up and down the sidewalk on a skateboard.
Opening song for Live '25 tour: Acquiesce. RNRS or Hello are the obvious choices, but opening with Acquiesce would be an absolutely biblical and very poignant gift to the hardcore fans.
I'm hoping for a Maine Road 96 2nd night type start. A banging Swamp Song to bring back the Oasis sound, then Hello, then Acquiesce. Later, Noel can give a wee mention to the ex-wife with Whatever, lol. A Budokan 97 version of Champagne Supernova would be mental as well, while we're at it. That version is epic, the best ever done. Noel and the band going off big time, rocking out the ending from about 8 minutes in until the end, is something else.
The Smiths is the reunion that will happen when hell freezes over. Also, my money's on Bonehead definitely being there (the clue's in the announcement video).
There Rich now, had solos and don't come from the same ace as me and you now. Def Maybe and morning glory was written when they were hungry, rest of the albums apart from a few tunes arnt Oasis so don't hold your breath. That's coming from a fan of 30 yrs..
You’re my favorite Oasis insider. Your passion, deep dives and consistency are second to none. And your new song and video for “designated driver” is really damn fun! Congrats!
I have to think Oasis will release at least a couple of new singles either before or soon after these '25 shows. Maybe not a full album, but at least a couple songs Noel has had stashed away thinking they'd be better for Liam to sing :)
Oasis has been my band for almost 28 years. I have been in a cover band. I have been an Oasis bootlegger. I've printed their lyrics. Bought mags and such. Despite I'm a bit older now, this news have woken up my young lad and filled me with excitement, even venturing to go further and beyond and thinking of going to the UK for this moment. If so, remind me of inviting you for a pint, James. You've certainly kept the Oasis flame ablaze, and all of us should be thankful of you being here. This is a celebration for us all. I only wish there were enough tickets for the lot of us, as the ticket sale resembles now to the Hunger Games. Here's to you, James and to us all. This is history! Let's fuckin' 'ave it!
1 Squire Album collaboration put on hold. 2 Noel Gallagher got at least 3 Oasis albums aside written in the last 15 years 3 XMas #1 Possible, considering Liam "All you're Dreaming of" was a work of beauty and fitted the season 4 Knebworth...don't have a clue 5 B-Sides has Noel still good b-sides in his pockets? Latest records the bsides (let alone NGHFB) were below average 6 Bonhead, Whitey/Sharrock, Gem...and on bass I still don't know... . 7 Support act: Ashcroft, Blossoms, Courteeners 8 and 9 Masterplan conspiracy...still one of my favourite videos video ever love it. It was all planned to the point. Definitely. Maybe.
Was never in doubt. The minute Sara was sent packing you knew Noel was ready. The most recent solo tours almost seem like a master stroke to truly throw everyone off. I think they are older now. Liam is far more professional and focused. This is going to be a great time. They may even save music itself. And lastly the next album will be co-written by the brothers. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever regarding that. When the full story of the reunion is told it will be epic.
Just felt a surge of energy when i saw the news early this month morning here in Durban SA..delighted. Thanks for keeping the flame alive over the years.
Damn it, James! As if the absolutely biblical news, coupled with your vid, haven't made me as happy as Noel's dealer in the mid 90s. This is genuinely exciting!
I don't think it was planned but do think something with the divorce to Sara had to do with the brothers reconciling. Think Noel has been wanting to re-visit the Oasis flame for awhile now. It's who he is. The best music he and Liam ever made was in that band. There's arguably no other band that stands the test of time as much as them from the time they were around. Just incredible to see this happen!
The timing of this reunion couldn't be any better to be honest. I've been on a journey of rediscovering Oasis over the past couple of weeks and it's been like meeting up with an old mate you haven't seen in years! I owe a lot to Oasis, I've been a card-carrying Metalhead for 16 or 17 years now but Oasis was one of the first bands that got me into Rock music and music in general, so I'm stoked for this reunion! I hope the lads deliver the goods!
Your idea that this is the 3rd act in the play would make sense if they create a final trilogy of albums to bookend their first 3 classics. We need this. I have a feeling the last 3 albums they create can be just as good if not better than their first 3. They have it in them.
Just gotta say James, you really skyrocketed my obsession of oasis with all your excellent content, and I’m excited to revel the joy of their reunion with you buddy. It’s a great thing!!
Oh my god!!! I cannot believe this is real. God does have a masterplan. ! This is the biggest news than anything on this planet!!!! It needed to be done now. I just had a thought come to my head right now to check and how epic it will be. And to land right on the news its real!!! It is in the ether lads!!!!!! Humanity needs this. Yes x a million!!!!!
Amazing mate. I can remember seeing a comment on a video you did stating what has been announced was indeed happening. Amazing ive been buzzing since yesterday morning. 😂❤
Maaaate I can't belive it. Oasis are back and the first show is in Cardiff, right near to where I live. I'm actually going to be able to see Oasis. Never thought I'd see the day. Bring it on!
Nice. I really fancy the Cardiff shows. London is mental on a gig night, so is Manc - the ringroad is hell. Not 100% decided which one I'm gonna go for, but Cardiff is in my sights!
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar Yeah, Cardiff is a nice easy city to get around compared to London and Manc and besides the very first nights going to be one for the history books. The atmosphere is gonna be amazing.
First off, Great channel and content, bro. New Fan and subscriber here. I think, in my humble opinion, that Oasis's 'Masterplan" has always been to absolutely dethrone The Beatles, The Stones, etc., and cement themselves as THE ABSOLUTE Kings of British Rock. I'm all for it, no disrespect to the older Legends, but Oasis will prove once again in their upcoming reunion tour, that they are UNTOUCHABLE. These guys are talented and smart as F...
My band got rammed by circumstance the same year Oasis split up. June/August 2008. Lost spark that summer and then lost enthousiasm around 2012. And I got back on stage earlier this year. No one else joining in yet. The reason why I think or hope is in Liam Gallagher is because just that music how you like it, and doing it. The same reason you start doing it. You hear songs, you see gigs, you see rock n roll bands playing concerts and you just want to DO it.
I've only recently discovered your channel and love your storytelling and analysis, not to mention the research you've put into each of your episodes. I hope you manage to get to the Oasis reunion tour!
If Axl n’ Slash can do it, it was only a matter of time for these two legends. And new music shouldn’t be out of the question as NG is a machine when it comes to songwriting. I’m so happy for this… it’s nice to have something to be happy about and look forward to. Tories are out (not saying Labour are perfect) and Oasis are about to shake their wee wee. Mad fer it!
I remember Foo Fighters asking for a reunion and Noel telling them where to go on stage, and Foo Fighters being really pissed off, but now there's a reunion? I guess they must have spent a weekend getting drunk together (the only way brothers can work things out). I just hope the brothers remember Oasis wasn't just them, and fans want the original band from the records.
Of course Boneheads gonna be there. Liam said many times on Twitter that if there was a reunion, Bonehead would be there. Also, if you look at the announcement video, he is the only one who appears apart from Liam and Noel.
Makes me proud to be fan of your channel James, and see this come full circle! Keep it up mate; I’m sure you’re next couple vids are gonna be buzzing with people wanting more Oasis content :)
I knew I could count on you to do a great video right away - just got back from a UK vacation and Taylor mania for my daughter - wish I could be in a pub for that news! I had my pints, though lol - would love to see the Manics play an hour set to open up gigs for Oasis - and here’s to hoping Bonehead, Gem and Zak Starkey round it out! Cheers! Happy 30th DM - my copy is 30 lol. Never had to buy another one because it always sounded mega!!!
I reckon the lineup will end up looking like this: Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock. Bonehead will be there because of his work with Liam (not to mention being an original Oasis member) Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock will be there due to being in the High Flying Birds and former members of Oasis. Archer will shift to bass.
Your channel is epic, your one of them that made this happen I can’t thank you enough James, this is utterly amazing I knew straight off when the Iasis sign was released on Twitter with date and time you knew this was genuine we’d had rumours and fake reunion gossip that never came true as soon as they released time and date and were on sky & BBC News you knew, James you kept the light shining that they would make a comeback and now I’m just stunned they are actually back but sad as I was on ticketmaster for over 9 hours waiting in queue and by time it got to me (and I was there spot on 8am” all seats for everywhere had gone my dream was to see them live at Wembley as Iv seen them Live over 11 times I never expected every seat as I’m disabled now, would be took at London gone, Edinburgh gone, Cardiff gone, Manchester gone to see them at Manchester would have been even better than Wembley but life goes on I have a great brother, he managed to get 4 Oasis tickets now I don’t know abt everyone but if I knew my brother grew up in his teens to Oasis, was Obsessed with them and I had 4 tickets he gave two to a friend Iv never heard of. If it were me with 4 tickets, 4, and I had 2 to sell I’d put my brother first. But they’re back and hopefully I’ll get to see them where I live as Iv heard they are doing 14 shows. Oasis are back the 90’s is coming back thank Gid because this generation of music is absent everything sounds the same a depressed female singer, screaming (not singing) to a 90’s cover, we had a voice the 90’s was history it brought back the 60’s it was second summer of love we called it, it’s hard to describe a feeling that the 90’s gave us, waiting on new Oasis Single or Album, singing along everybody singing to “Live Forever” or “Don’t Look Back In Anger” it was sublime what a feeling, you’ll never touch or come close to the 90’s the best days of my life with an obsession with Oasis 😂 😂
So excited by these amazing news! Watching all your Oasis videos in the previous years turned this into a experience on it's own. "Don't Stop..." what you do just like Oasis' yet most recent single is titled if we don't get another one soon.
Waited for your video, nice new insights delivered, always a bit more than most of the other channels/sources What a beautiful time to alive, seen NGHFB this year, I’m glad that Gem might be also involved in the reunion, hoping so much for new oasis music!
James, the idea that the whole timing of the comeback was planned is an interesting idea. The song you refer to 'one of us' was written for the 2019 album 'Why me, why not' made 10 years after the break up. So if that song secretly referenced the reunion plan it really was the best kept secret. Having seen your video of the Mastetplan conspiracy I could believe that Noel could come up with such a plan but I am more doubtful that at that time when the Brotherly feud was still on, that he could persuade Liam. If he could that would imply that the feud ended 5 years sooner than we knew but was kept up for appearances in order to carry out the plan. What do you think?
"The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised." Clue in the last sentence that they will be headlining Glastonbury . Clever that What you think James ?
I’m still buzzing! It was fantastic to see so many young people at Liam’s gig on Sunday. That’s a really healthy signifier that Gen Z’s are hungry for guitar-based bands. It’s all brill. Fantastic gig in Leeds the other week, James. Great to meet you and would love to see you guys again in the near future (an Oasis support maybe?!!) Hope you got over the bug too. You really played a blinder. All the best, Dom. 👍🏻
Woke up to this news this morning and immediately texted everyone I know with "IT'S HAPPENING!!!" It's gonna be a long flight from California but I'm not missing this!
I imagine drummer is going to be Chris Sharrock given he's the high flying birds drummer. Plus there's Gem. So i imagine line up will be Liam, Noel, Gem, Chris, and perhaps Bonehead given he's been doing shows with Liam? Wonder if Liam's son's band might be on support bill too?
Here’s my take James,Reason 1,Their mum,She’s well into her 80s now,Make her happy as she won’t be here forever,Reason 2,Big big money,Reason 3,Would seriously piss off the ex wife,Reason 4,Maybe Noel’s just got a bit bored of playing 10,000 arenas,He’s seeing bands like the FOO fighters,green day and Coldplay selling out stadiums around the world and thought,Let’s have one last go at this knowing oasis would probably outsell everyone of those bands easily,It’s just my take on it,Could be completely wrong though👍👍
Holy shit, lol. It has felt different. I've felt like it was coming. Something just told me that the ice was finally thawing, and they were ready. The GOATs are back together. I hope they come across the pond. I can't wait.
Their website says they’re planning future world tour dates. Prolly gonna see if this domestic tour works out lol as long as Liam doesn’t walk off stage they will come hahahah
Interesting that Noel said that he always knew these recordings must have been somewhere, after years and years of them thought to have been lost. And they turned out to have been mislabeled!
I’ve been watching news on the war and listening to podcast about politics without realising my mood has been spiralling! The news of Oasis reunion has brought joy to my inner soul ❤ the new Album “Water Under The Bridge” ❤ I’ll buy it and I’m going to go and watch them in Cardiff on my own .. “On my own” should be the title if one of the new album tracks xxxxx
Wasn't overly surprised, felt good dont get me wrong, but I always had a feeling. Refer back once again to Tony McCarroll's book - the bit about Liam and Noel amping up their sibbling rivalry whenever the media was around. They had fights, no doubt, but they were always playing it up because they (and Creation) knew the press loved it and ate it up everytime. Additional: Aside from Bonehead it's very unlikely the other core members, Guigs, McCarroll, Whitey will be involved sadly. Then it really would be exciting. If Oasis make a new album then Owen Morris mixing it is a must.
James, I am so incredibly grateful for what you’ve been doing for the community of Oasis fans. Good luck with getting the tickets. Good luck to you, and all of us.
They will have to include some members from the original lineup. Personally, I'd like to see Alan White and Bonehead back. Because they have a special chemistry within the band, but also because they brought the special ingredients to the band which created the iconic and biblical 'oasis' sound. Nobody wants to see Liam and Noel with session musicians.
@@PaperBanjo64 Noel hasn’t played or spoken to any of the former members so I don’t know how likely it is we’ll get them back. I like the HFB but I want it to be a proper five man rock outfit true to Oasis. Whitey would be great and even Guigsy but the idea of Noel playing and rehearsing with them again sounds mad. Notice it was just Noel and Liam in the promo shoot so who knows??
As an Oasis fan, I'm extremely happy and as a fan of James and this channel, I'm ecstatic for him. Thanks for keeping the faith, brother, and providing so much great content for us Oasis fans over the years!
Started watching watching your content a few years ago almost 17 now listened to oasis all my life almost have every album on vinyl sincerely hope I get tickets and you and all the oasis fans who aren’t wonderwall warriors will as well 😂
@quackk_kk I'm sure bonehead will be there with how he's been playing out with Liam. Not sure about Guigs, Tony, or Alan though. If any of them were there it would be biblical. I'm fine with just Bonehead though, dude is a monster rhythm player.
You have been incredibly interesting in your video content and I appreciate your efforts and the sheer quality. You deserve a front row seat. Pleased for you.
It was absolutely shocking to me as I was thinking for a long time that the band are not coming back together. I am very proud they finally did have the opportunity to go with it as brothers than just being musicians. Peggy got her wish and it is wonderful to see it happening.
It's a scam. No way would they be pissed off at each other for 15 yrs like that and then... OK let's do a world tour. I've seen em 6 times, main road, knebword, Etihad. Was a huge fan. The few times in the noughties I saw em, liams voice was shot, made the day shit. They've enjoyed their solos, and always had this 'comeback' in mind. Good on em to make the money, but to me there full of shit, and I cannot imagine what the shows will be like. They wear great in there day, Liam snarling an that and young, best front man back then, but yer won't get anything but a 50 yer old trying to belch out tunes that he can't.
Dream scenario: Bonehead, Guigsy, and Whitey for the early material. Bring out Andy and Gem for the later era material. Bonus points for McCarroll on a couple tunes!
Speaking as a first generation fan who was very much there in the '90s and who absolutely hated what Noel & Liam did with the Oasis name after Bonehead and Guigsy left (they stopped being a band and started being a brand, with hired hands and lacklustre records), I'm very wary about this reunion. It seems to me that this was done not for the love of music or even to heal a rift, but because Noel's ex has taken him to the cleaners and he needs a few quid. A rather cynical cash grab and pure business. At least the Oasis of 1995 meant it. If the line-up was the 1995 line-up (even with someone filling in for Guigs) then I'd be all for it and there'd be an incentive to spend money on tickets. If it's just Liam singing with High Flying Birds or the Dig Out Your Soul line-up reheated, then forget it. What would be the point of paying all that money to see the High Flying Birds with Liam? That's not Oasis to me. Also, if the ticket prices are insane (which they no doubt will be) I don't want to hear either of the Gallagher's talking about their working class credentials and being a band of the people while they're charging them a fortune to see something that says Oasis on the poster but which actually isn't.
The circle is now complete. James made his video about the Oasis reunion. Thank you for all the content you've created on this platform; you're one of the people responsible for keeping this band's flame burning bright. I'm looking forward to the new content that's yet to come, and I'm sure there will be many new stories to talk about from now on. Thank you very much, mate!

I've always thought about that song, they have to open with it right ?
WE DEFINITELY NEED TO START A *'COME TO NORTH AMERICA'* CAMPAIGN... ‼️

Should hear The Chameleons. Best Manchester band by far.
When Noel split from the wife, that's when I started believing. Phenomenal news.

Yeah she was a piece of work
How crappy. Yay, divorce. How nice for their children. This band gets back together. Woo hoo.
Man was pussy whipped into oblivion and ending his entire career.

@@stewrmo I hope they come to Australia. But that’s if they haven’t broken up again lol

I never gave up hope. As a 13yr old I begged my dad to take me in 2009, he said i was too young. Ive sure had to be patient…..Drink it in James you deserve it.
I saw Oasis perform on February 5th, 1995 @ Nile Theater, Mesa, Arizona. There were only 80 or so people in the audience. Put on a great show. Before the show, I walked by the tour bus parked in front of the venue. Liam was playing an acoustic guitar, and Noel was riding up and down the sidewalk on a skateboard.
Opening song for Live '25 tour: Acquiesce.
RNRS or Hello are the obvious choices, but opening with Acquiesce would be an absolutely biblical and very poignant gift to the hardcore fans.
This was exactly what I thought this morning!
Has to be Acquiesce!
Hard agree 👍
I'm hoping for a Maine Road 96 2nd night type start. A banging Swamp Song to bring back the Oasis sound, then Hello, then Acquiesce.
Later, Noel can give a wee mention to the ex-wife with Whatever, lol.
A Budokan 97 version of Champagne Supernova would be mental as well, while we're at it.
That version is epic, the best ever done. Noel and the band going off big time, rocking out the ending from about 8 minutes in until the end, is something else.
I wholeheartedly agree.
An acoustic Oasis album? Hold my compressor
And my bitter, mate.
underrated comment
The Smiths is the reunion that will happen when hell freezes over. Also, my money's on Bonehead definitely being there (the clue's in the announcement video).
A smiths reunion is impossible because andy rourke is no longer with us.
Johnny Marr's live versions of the Smiths songs have been pretty good. Worth a listen if not heard them before.
The smiths wouldn’t work without all four
Bonehead needs to be involved.
No Bonehead, no Oasis.
Exactly what I was thinking. Needs to be at least Bonhead in the line up. Not the lot from Ride etc
Bonehead will be there! He was a main part of the reason for the reunion!
Boner
Yes indeed.
Totally
a new album with the same energy of the first 3 will be absolutely amazing
Need to get Owen Morris out of retirement and for Brian Cannon to do the artwork with the regular Oasis logo
There Rich now, had solos and don't come from the same ace as me and you now. Def Maybe and morning glory was written when they were hungry, rest of the albums apart from a few tunes arnt Oasis so don't hold your breath. That's coming from a fan of 30 yrs..
You’re my favorite Oasis insider. Your passion, deep dives and consistency are second to none. And your new song and video for “designated driver” is really damn fun! Congrats!
Much appreciated 👍🍻
I have to think Oasis will release at least a couple of new singles either before or soon after these '25 shows. Maybe not a full album, but at least a couple songs Noel has had stashed away thinking they'd be better for Liam to sing :)
I hope Noel uses a Union Jack guitar. We need it.
Nah it'll probably be Ukraine colours 🇺🇦 🤣🤣
Do wonder if he’ll use the rig from that pedal show
that guitar is in a museum, it isn't coming out.
He's Irish now though
It'll be the Irish Tricolour if he sticks to his claim of being Irish now.
Oasis has been my band for almost 28 years.
I have been in a cover band. I have been an Oasis bootlegger. I've printed their lyrics. Bought mags and such.
Despite I'm a bit older now, this news have woken up my young lad and filled me with excitement, even venturing to go further and beyond and thinking of going to the UK for this moment.
If so, remind me of inviting you for a pint, James. You've certainly kept the Oasis flame ablaze, and all of us should be thankful of you being here.
This is a celebration for us all. I only wish there were enough tickets for the lot of us, as the ticket sale resembles now to the Hunger Games.
Here's to you, James and to us all. This is history! Let's fuckin' 'ave it!
1 Squire Album collaboration put on hold.
2 Noel Gallagher got at least 3 Oasis albums aside written in the last 15 years
3 XMas #1 Possible, considering Liam "All you're Dreaming of" was a work of beauty and fitted the season
4 Knebworth...don't have a clue
5 B-Sides has Noel still good b-sides in his pockets? Latest records the bsides (let alone NGHFB) were below average
6 Bonhead, Whitey/Sharrock, Gem...and on bass I still don't know... .
7 Support act: Ashcroft, Blossoms, Courteeners
8 and 9 Masterplan conspiracy...still one of my favourite videos video ever love it. It was all planned to the point. Definitely. Maybe.
Was never in doubt. The minute Sara was sent packing you knew Noel was ready. The most recent solo tours almost seem like a master stroke to truly throw everyone off.
I think they are older now. Liam is far more professional and focused. This is going to be a great time. They may even save music itself. And lastly the next album will be co-written by the brothers. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever regarding that. When the full story of the reunion is told it will be epic.
After the news this morning the next thing I looked forward to was this RUclips video.
Just felt a surge of energy when i saw the news early this month morning here in Durban SA..delighted. Thanks for keeping the flame alive over the years.
Very welcome :)
Damn it, James! As if the absolutely biblical news, coupled with your vid, haven't made me as happy as Noel's dealer in the mid 90s. This is genuinely exciting!
Congrats James. I honestly think channels like yours helped make this happen.
I hope so!
I don't think it was planned but do think something with the divorce to Sara had to do with the brothers reconciling. Think Noel has been wanting to re-visit the Oasis flame for awhile now. It's who he is. The best music he and Liam ever made was in that band. There's arguably no other band that stands the test of time as much as them from the time they were around. Just incredible to see this happen!
Thanks for your Oasis content James the best factual documented history of the best band of the 90s
The more original members they can get on board the more money they can get.
The timing of this reunion couldn't be any better to be honest. I've been on a journey of rediscovering Oasis over the past couple of weeks and it's been like meeting up with an old mate you haven't seen in years! I owe a lot to Oasis, I've been a card-carrying Metalhead for 16 or 17 years now but Oasis was one of the first bands that got me into Rock music and music in general, so I'm stoked for this reunion! I hope the lads deliver the goods!
Your idea that this is the 3rd act in the play would make sense if they create a final trilogy of albums to bookend their first 3 classics. We need this. I have a feeling the last 3 albums they create can be just as good if not better than their first 3. They have it in them.
Just gotta say James, you really skyrocketed my obsession of oasis with all your excellent content, and I’m excited to revel the joy of their reunion with you buddy. It’s a great thing!!
There's a chill in the air!
Could hardly wait for James to weigh in! 😊
Oh my god!!! I cannot believe this is real. God does have a masterplan. !
This is the biggest news than anything on this planet!!!! It needed to be done now. I just had a thought come to my head right now to check and how epic it will be. And to land right on the news its real!!! It is in the ether lads!!!!!! Humanity needs this. Yes x a million!!!!!
💯 always the plan. The entertainment industry does everything by design
A whole new wave of fans (young and old) will get to enjoy the legends themselves. See you guys at Wembley!
Amazing mate. I can remember seeing a comment on a video you did stating what has been announced was indeed happening. Amazing ive been buzzing since yesterday morning. 😂❤
I have always felt that the perfect “new” Oasis song should have been Lock All The Doors! Imagine that as a comeback single announcing a new album 🥳
If there is new Oasis music on the way, I hope Noel rewidens his idea of what an Oasis album track can sound like.
Maaaate I can't belive it. Oasis are back and the first show is in Cardiff, right near to where I live. I'm actually going to be able to see Oasis. Never thought I'd see the day. Bring it on!
Nice. I really fancy the Cardiff shows. London is mental on a gig night, so is Manc - the ringroad is hell.
Not 100% decided which one I'm gonna go for, but Cardiff is in my sights!
@@JamesHargreavesGuitar Yeah, Cardiff is a nice easy city to get around compared to London and Manc and besides the very first nights going to be one for the history books. The atmosphere is gonna be amazing.
COOL THEY CHOSE CARDIFF 🐲
seeing oasis = 2 middle aged men and their backing band.
@@TheGalwayFarmer yes but better now than when they've got zimmerframes!!
Nobody deserves a ticket for these shows more than you my man 🤝
First off, Great channel and content, bro. New Fan and subscriber here.
I think, in my humble opinion, that Oasis's 'Masterplan" has always been to absolutely dethrone The Beatles, The Stones, etc., and cement themselves as THE ABSOLUTE Kings of British Rock. I'm all for it, no disrespect to the older Legends, but Oasis will prove once again in their upcoming reunion tour, that they are UNTOUCHABLE. These guys are talented and smart as F...
My band got rammed by circumstance the same year Oasis split up. June/August 2008. Lost spark that summer and then lost enthousiasm around 2012. And I got back on stage earlier this year. No one else joining in yet.
The reason why I think or hope is in Liam Gallagher is because just that music how you like it, and doing it. The same reason you start doing it. You hear songs, you see gigs, you see rock n roll bands playing concerts and you just want to DO it.
Same here.
Blur to support for Irony reasons. McCarrol on drums to re create the first album (their best album) sound.
I've only recently discovered your channel and love your storytelling and analysis, not to mention the research you've put into each of your episodes. I hope you manage to get to the Oasis reunion tour!
Was waiting until 8:00 in cold sweat…still unreal
Mad fer it ❤
I know what you mean, still can't believe it's happening.
If Axl n’ Slash can do it, it was only a matter of time for these two legends. And new music shouldn’t be out of the question as NG is a machine when it comes to songwriting. I’m so happy for this… it’s nice to have something to be happy about and look forward to. Tories are out (not saying Labour are perfect) and Oasis are about to shake their wee wee. Mad fer it!
I remember Foo Fighters asking for a reunion and Noel telling them where to go on stage, and Foo Fighters being really pissed off, but now there's a reunion? I guess they must have spent a weekend getting drunk together (the only way brothers can work things out). I just hope the brothers remember Oasis wasn't just them, and fans want the original band from the records.
You called it James. Brilliant M8! I'm saving up for a hopeful US tour
They will definitely do the Americas I would bet. North to South.
Of course Boneheads gonna be there. Liam said many times on Twitter that if there was a reunion, Bonehead would be there. Also, if you look at the announcement video, he is the only one who appears apart from Liam and Noel.
He’s Liam’s mate so yeah I don’t think Liam would do it without Bonehead at this point
thats right! good for you and the channel James! im locked in and ready to rumble! ✊
Whooooooooop!
14:30. It wasn't always a plan. It was always the masterplan.
Makes me proud to be fan of your channel James, and see this come full circle! Keep it up mate; I’m sure you’re next couple vids are gonna be buzzing with people wanting more Oasis content :)
Apparently the reunion was only arranged 7 weeks ago, but that seems too short a time to book all the gigs next year.
I knew I could count on you to do a great video right away - just got back from a UK vacation and Taylor mania for my daughter - wish I could be in a pub for that news! I had my pints, though lol - would love to see the Manics play an hour set to open up gigs for Oasis - and here’s to hoping Bonehead, Gem and Zak Starkey round it out! Cheers! Happy 30th DM - my copy is 30 lol. Never had to buy another one because it always sounded mega!!!
I reckon the lineup will end up looking like this:
Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock.
Bonehead will be there because of his work with Liam (not to mention being an original Oasis member)
Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock will be there due to being in the High Flying Birds and former members of Oasis. Archer will shift to bass.
Sad. Why not Alan White?
Zak Starkey.
Your channel is epic, your one of them that made this happen I can’t thank you enough James, this is utterly amazing I knew straight off when the Iasis sign was released on Twitter with date and time you knew this was genuine we’d had rumours and fake reunion gossip that never came true as soon as they released time and date and were on sky & BBC News you knew, James you kept the light shining that they would make a comeback and now I’m just stunned they are actually back but sad as I was on ticketmaster for over 9 hours waiting in queue and by time it got to me (and I was there spot on 8am” all seats for everywhere had gone my dream was to see them live at Wembley as Iv seen them Live over 11 times I never expected every seat as I’m disabled now, would be took at London gone, Edinburgh gone, Cardiff gone, Manchester gone to see them at Manchester would have been even better than Wembley but life goes on I have a great brother, he managed to get 4 Oasis tickets now I don’t know abt everyone but if I knew my brother grew up in his teens to Oasis, was Obsessed with them and I had 4 tickets he gave two to a friend Iv never heard of. If it were me with 4 tickets, 4, and I had 2 to sell I’d put my brother first. But they’re back and hopefully I’ll get to see them where I live as Iv heard they are doing 14 shows. Oasis are back the 90’s is coming back thank Gid because this generation of music is absent everything sounds the same a depressed female singer, screaming (not singing) to a 90’s cover, we had a voice the 90’s was history it brought back the 60’s it was second summer of love we called it, it’s hard to describe a feeling that the 90’s gave us, waiting on new Oasis Single or Album, singing along everybody singing to “Live Forever” or “Don’t Look Back In Anger” it was sublime what a feeling, you’ll never touch or come close to the 90’s the best days of my life with an obsession with Oasis 😂 😂
Getting a ticket will be like trying to get a PS5 all over again, you will probably have to pay £5,000 to tick touts for Cardiff
I'd rather have an Oasis ticket than a PS5
So excited by these amazing news! Watching all your Oasis videos in the previous years turned this into a experience on it's own. "Don't Stop..." what you do just like Oasis' yet most recent single is titled if we don't get another one soon.
A record industry insider said this morning that the other 6 Wembley gigs are 100% booked and will go on sale after the initial gigs sell out.
Waited for your video, nice new insights delivered, always a bit more than most of the other channels/sources
What a beautiful time to alive, seen NGHFB this year, I’m glad that Gem might be also involved in the reunion, hoping so much for new oasis music!
Original line up would have been interesting instead of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds featuring Liam Gallagher.
Yes it's not Oasis without them. The Gallagher brothers are only part of Oasis.
James, the idea that the whole timing of the comeback was planned is an interesting idea. The song you refer to 'one of us' was written for the 2019 album 'Why me, why not' made 10 years after the break up. So if that song secretly referenced the reunion plan it really was the best kept secret. Having seen your video of the Mastetplan conspiracy I could believe that Noel could come up with such a plan but I am more doubtful that at that time when the Brotherly feud was still on, that he could persuade Liam. If he could that would imply that the feud ended 5 years sooner than we knew but was kept up for appearances in order to carry out the plan. What do you think?
"The guns have fallen silent.
The stars have aligned.
The great wait is over.
Come see.
It will not be televised."
Clue in the last sentence that they will be headlining Glastonbury . Clever that
What you think James ?
What?
I’m still buzzing! It was fantastic to see so many young people at Liam’s gig on Sunday. That’s a really healthy signifier that Gen Z’s are hungry for guitar-based bands. It’s all brill.
Fantastic gig in Leeds the other week, James. Great to meet you and would love to see you guys again in the near future (an Oasis support maybe?!!) Hope you got over the bug too. You really played a blinder. All the best, Dom. 👍🏻
Woke up to this news this morning and immediately texted everyone I know with "IT'S HAPPENING!!!" It's gonna be a long flight from California but I'm not missing this!
That’s true commitment!
Love your videos. Searched you out as soon as I heard about the reunion. I’m so excited!!!
Looking forward to more Oasis content from you. ❤
I imagine drummer is going to be Chris Sharrock given he's the high flying birds drummer. Plus there's Gem.
So i imagine line up will be Liam, Noel, Gem, Chris, and perhaps Bonehead given he's been doing shows with Liam?
Wonder if Liam's son's band might be on support bill too?
Sharrock was actually in Oasis as well, so he probably is the odds on favourite
Heard him live a few times and he's v good too
Zak Starkey.
Cast as support would be banging. Saw them supporting Shed Seven a few years back and they were (both) incredible.
Here’s my take James,Reason 1,Their mum,She’s well into her 80s now,Make her happy as she won’t be here forever,Reason 2,Big big money,Reason 3,Would seriously piss off the ex wife,Reason 4,Maybe Noel’s just got a bit bored of playing 10,000 arenas,He’s seeing bands like the FOO fighters,green day and Coldplay selling out stadiums around the world and thought,Let’s have one last go at this knowing oasis would probably outsell everyone of those bands easily,It’s just my take on it,Could be completely wrong though👍👍
Holy shit, lol. It has felt different. I've felt like it was coming. Something just told me that the ice was finally thawing, and they were ready. The GOATs are back together. I hope they come across the pond. I can't wait.
Their website says they’re planning future world tour dates. Prolly gonna see if this domestic tour works out lol as long as Liam doesn’t walk off stage they will come hahahah
Interesting that Noel said that he always knew these recordings must have been somewhere, after years and years of them thought to have been lost. And they turned out to have been mislabeled!
They are being released on Friday
Thank you for keeping the fire burning over the last few years. Your videos dragged me right back into my childhood obsession
I'd like to see every drummer Oasis have had included in the reunion. All on stage at the same time.
I’ve been watching news on the war and listening to podcast about politics without realising my mood has been spiralling! The news of Oasis reunion has brought joy to my inner soul ❤ the new Album “Water Under The Bridge” ❤ I’ll buy it and I’m going to go and watch them in Cardiff on my own ..
“On my own” should be the title if one of the new album tracks xxxxx
With all the shit that's been going on in the UK for the past few weeks it's nice to finally have some good news!
Agreed.
Wasn't overly surprised, felt good dont get me wrong, but I always had a feeling. Refer back once again to Tony McCarroll's book - the bit about Liam and Noel amping up their sibbling rivalry whenever the media was around. They had fights, no doubt, but they were always playing it up because they (and Creation) knew the press loved it and ate it up everytime.
Additional: Aside from Bonehead it's very unlikely the other core members, Guigs, McCarroll, Whitey will be involved sadly. Then it really would be exciting.
If Oasis make a new album then Owen Morris mixing it is a must.
This is what a £20 million divorce can cost you - having to go on stage again with your brother.
Make it 50
The more he earns and owns the more he will have to pay out in a divorce settlement.
Ha the $20 million dollar mistake
I’ve been waiting for this video all day, James! 😀 Been watching your channel for years. This news is all very exciting.
Funnily enough I did think about Knebworth and whether they would play there again, I think they will
James, I am so incredibly grateful for what you’ve been doing for the community of Oasis fans. Good luck with getting the tickets. Good luck to you, and all of us.
They will have to include some members from the original lineup. Personally, I'd like to see Alan White and Bonehead back. Because they have a special chemistry within the band, but also because they brought the special ingredients to the band which created the iconic and biblical 'oasis' sound. Nobody wants to see Liam and Noel with session musicians.
I think Bonehead will be there for sure, who knows about Guigsy and Whitey.
@@PaperBanjo64 Noel hasn’t played or spoken to any of the former members so I don’t know how likely it is we’ll get them back. I like the HFB but I want it to be a proper five man rock outfit true to Oasis. Whitey would be great and even Guigsy but the idea of Noel playing and rehearsing with them again sounds mad. Notice it was just Noel and Liam in the promo shoot so who knows??
@sebastianfitzptraick7395 yeah, I personally expect it to be Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds plus Liam and Bonehead
I saw them 7 times in the 90’s/ 00’s.
It won’t be the same but still better than any gig out there today.
See you all there 👍🏼🤘🏼
The 2025 gig might be even better because we don't take Oasis gigs for granted anymore.
As an Oasis fan, I'm extremely happy and as a fan of James and this channel, I'm ecstatic for him. Thanks for keeping the faith, brother, and providing so much great content for us Oasis fans over the years!
Ur v welcome 🍻👍😎
Started watching watching your content a few years ago almost 17 now listened to oasis all my life almost have every album on vinyl sincerely hope I get tickets and you and all the oasis fans who aren’t wonderwall warriors will as well 😂
God, they need to call to Alan White...
100%
and bonehead
@quackk_kk I'm sure bonehead will be there with how he's been playing out with Liam. Not sure about Guigs, Tony, or Alan though. If any of them were there it would be biblical. I'm fine with just Bonehead though, dude is a monster rhythm player.
I’m wondering how Gem fits in
@Janky_Reefs I could see a 3 guitar lineup...Noel and Gem could both get lead guitar duties, and Bonehead would bring that massive wall of noise.
You have been incredibly interesting in your video content and I appreciate your efforts and the sheer quality. You deserve a front row seat. Pleased for you.
Gona be fun trying to get tickets
It was absolutely shocking to me as I was thinking for a long time that the band are not coming back together. I am very proud they finally did have the opportunity to go with it as brothers than just being musicians. Peggy got her wish and it is wonderful to see it happening.
It's a scam. No way would they be pissed off at each other for 15 yrs like that and then... OK let's do a world tour. I've seen em 6 times, main road, knebword, Etihad. Was a huge fan. The few times in the noughties I saw em, liams voice was shot, made the day shit. They've enjoyed their solos, and always had this 'comeback' in mind. Good on em to make the money, but to me there full of shit, and I cannot imagine what the shows will be like. They wear great in there day, Liam snarling an that and young, best front man back then, but yer won't get anything but a 50 yer old trying to belch out tunes that he can't.
Made a video a year ago speculating about this reunion. Always knew it was just a matter of time. Awesome news. 🇬🇧
Dream scenario: Bonehead, Guigsy, and Whitey for the early material. Bring out Andy and Gem for the later era material. Bonus points for McCarroll on a couple tunes!
How about Chris Sharrock? He was monstrous on Shock of the Lightning. And he's been in NGHFB too.
That's what I've saying for years . Although , the hardest one to get would be Whitey ; that ended badly . But yeah , what a gig that would be !!
@@itaintmebabe2467 Hate to break it to you but Noel drummed on Shock of the Lightning, sorry
If Tony has never been invited to guest at a Liam gig then it defo aint happening with Noel involved.
Guigsy?! No chance! McCarroll no chance! Bonehead possibly Whitey doubt it
Ride fella no chance
Gem all day long! High Flying Birds definitely! 🫣😩🤣
Thanks James for 'keeping the dream alive' , I just hope I can afford the tickets ! Looking forward to more videos about Oasis in the future.
Speaking as a first generation fan who was very much there in the '90s and who absolutely hated what Noel & Liam did with the Oasis name after Bonehead and Guigsy left (they stopped being a band and started being a brand, with hired hands and lacklustre records), I'm very wary about this reunion.
It seems to me that this was done not for the love of music or even to heal a rift, but because Noel's ex has taken him to the cleaners and he needs a few quid. A rather cynical cash grab and pure business. At least the Oasis of 1995 meant it.
If the line-up was the 1995 line-up (even with someone filling in for Guigs) then I'd be all for it and there'd be an incentive to spend money on tickets. If it's just Liam singing with High Flying Birds or the Dig Out Your Soul line-up reheated, then forget it. What would be the point of paying all that money to see the High Flying Birds with Liam? That's not Oasis to me.
Also, if the ticket prices are insane (which they no doubt will be) I don't want to hear either of the Gallagher's talking about their working class credentials and being a band of the people while they're charging them a fortune to see something that says Oasis on the poster but which actually isn't.
I love how you can’t stop smiling throughout the whole video. This are one of the best news of our lives for us, Oasis fans!
