Noel Gallagher on why Oasis split up 

A band that breaks up will always be a better band than one that stays too long

Plum throws plum and ends fucking oasis- line of the century

The way Noel tells a story is absolutely delightful

Noel saved Liam's life. Liam needed a good wake up call to get better mentally and sober up. I think Noel knew that the band was failing becasue of Liam's poor mental health and addiction issues. I am sure he told him to get help before. Liam probably tried and couldn't stay healthy. The truth really hurts. Noel is a really smart guy who did a great job with Oasis. Sometimes you have to pull the plug. No one should work in a crapy enviornment where you feel abused. Good Luck Noel.

"It all started to unravel... once he started his clothing line". I'm not sure if that was intentional, but it sure is funny.

im not the biggest oasis fan but liam had an edge that realy made noels songs better. can understand why noel left though.

Noel sounds like he's looking back in anger with Liam

Maybe the split was for the best. Noel makes great music with his band

While I'm not the biggest Oasis fan in the world, I have to say that Noel and Liam both speak with an unfiltered candour that is quite refreshing in this age of wishy washy PR horseshit. True to who they are, right or wrong. Have a lot of respect for that.

Honestly I think that's the most open and honest I've seen Noel Gallagher. A real sad explanation really. Glad he's moved on. Cheers!

Surely if Liam wants to advertise Pretty Green in the programme just let him? To say "well how much are you gonna pay me?" sounds like Noel was just trying to wind him up.

Yet Gem Archer joined Liam's group. Says a lot. Now he knows how Tony McCarroll feels.

i am always noel over liam but if i went into business with my brother and he said no to me making some extra money with no harm done to himself i would be pissed of aswell, thats not what family does

Siblings for ya my brow in law is a twin and they've not spoak for years they hate each other. And no fruit was thrown.

Not allowing Liam to put an advertisement of his clothing line in an Oasis tour guide shows such ego and abrasivenesses. Liam is the fucking front man. Like Disney charging one of their divisions, like Marvel, to advertise on their dvds.

Absolute hero! God bless em. Lookin forward to High Flying Birds!

He loves his brother. Maybe that's why he just took a walk.

I don't see why Noel did mostly just backups. He's the better singer.

Noel wrote all the songs - nobody can ever take that away from him. The band is a team though - Noel does not have a team ethic built within him. He disrespects all of the other members input and contribution by thinking it is ok to keep all royalties. A true person would appreciate the teams' contribution and reward them accordingly, as to make sure everybody is happy. Noel is the biggest cash cow going - why should Liam not be allowed to make money from advertising in the programme. That one act sums Noel up - I have lost a lot of respect for him since watching this video...

It’s nearly 2019 can you please get back together already ?

What's pretty crazy about this is not too long after Noel admitted what he said about Liam (not showing bc of a hangover/laryngitis) was a lie and Andy Bell also said he lied about the split, then Liam said Noel smashed his guitar first, and then even more recently Noel said he left Oasis when the music did (bc even though his relationship with Liam was bad he thought it was worth it for that). So Noel was lying in this video and Liam was telling the truth when he said (even says it now) that Noel wanted out of Oasis and lied on him for years afterwards to not look bad for it (and still today most british press dont write about just how often Noel hits back at Liam, and making Liam look as if he rails against him for no reason at all...). Noel stitched him up and everyone believed him bc Liam is the 'stupid' one. It's pretty crazy... at this point Oasis doesn't need to be reformed but someone needs to lock Liam and Noel in a room or something to make them fucking talk it out lol.

To save you time, its about money.

My parents, they do love Oasis, went to the last tour. The bands songs have been on the radio from time to time and I quite enjoyed a few of them. I asked my parents about them and what songs they liked and I guess it kind of grew from there. I love Oasis, I really do but the sad thing about it is I started listening after they spilt. I'm only 12 and it's not like I could have listened to them soon but guess it's for the best they spilt. With Noel's 'High Flying Birds' and Liam starting his new band, I'm glad they still make music but just not together. Will forever their music.

I want to see the Gallagher brothers together more than my divorced parents.

violence, liam, heart break, liam, tears, liam, pain, liam, Noel you are a f..king gitar player. liam is the show. what is not to iunderstand? the who, led zeppelin, even your beatles, children. we need, the world needs, oasis. bigger than money, even maybe bigger than , come on, look at the tapes from 1996. we love you liam.

Liam is plum crazy

.To better understand the separation of oasis.. -In all bands there are problems and differences - Despite the fights they are brothers and they have to be reconciled ... , In the bands of music You have to know how to carry the differences, there are disagreements in all the bands It seems to me that fame boosts everything ... They would have to be reconciled, as brothers, is the minimum that a fan of oasis would ask, is in the most reasonable, to fight for a minor detail In the end noel wanted something else for the band, another course, the fight is heard as they talked and discussed about rock, Is respected if noel wanted to continue doing another project And also the sincerity of liam is respected

Talks about Liam wielding a guitar like an axe, yet Noel claims to have hit Liam in the head with a cricket bat during recording of morning glory....perfectly fine, I suppose.

1:35 And you didn’t return to Manchester for One Love because you couldn’t be arsed. So what does that say? Least Liam has his emotions on his shoulder and is honest mate. Don’t get me wrong, Liam was a bastard back in the day, he was very toxic and aggressive, but he was honest and was who he was. He’s a lot calmer and mature now, and if there’s a time for these two to make peace, it’s now.

To the people who disliked this video (why?) he was only being honest about His brother.😎🎸

Too bad these two never figured it out.

Regardless of what happened, you are still brothers... stick together

Two brothers who struggle to say they love each other

Noel is the person in a group project at school or work who puts all the time, effort, and work into the presentation, and Liam is the person who can show up late, not work at all, but does a fantastic job presenting and then proceeds to get all the credit. I can't blame Noel for holding a grudge against Liam back then or today. He did everything (writing, producing, interviewing- all while his brother was out drinking all day and night), got no credit (except monetarily), and his brother gets all the attention while being a total psychotic pain in the ass. That being said, they're amazing and I love them both.

Who else is binge watching this kinda stuff because of Coronavirus

Noel Gallagher saved my life. I was extremely depressed, bordering on suicidal for many months and one day flicked on MTV and saw Oasis' video for "Don't Look Back in Anger, " and was immediately drawn to the music, the song, and Noel. TBH I don't think I even noticed Liam in the video at all. I just HAD to find more of their music. I got into music big time , and lived and breathed it for countless years in a row. It kept me going mentally. It made me happier than I had been in years. I will always be grateful for finding Noel Gallagher. Thanks for saving my life, man!!!

Plum throws plum. Haha.

Interviewer: why did the band break up? Noel: Liams a prick (⬆️ this ) Liam: ( Gets up and flexes) he couldn’t handle the rock and roll

Surprised he was this open about it all.

The bit about Andy sitting there counting how many pairs of shoes he's got is pure genius.

I assume the reason that the rest of the band just sat there staring at their feet and not getting involved, was because it wasn’t their band. It was Noel and Liam’s band. Both brothers could fire the others just like that, and the rest of the band knew it. So they kept their heads down and their mouths shut and hoped the row would blow over. Liam is an intimidating guy at the best of times, never mind when he’s going totally mental. Noel was used to dealing with his brother. So the others kept their heads down and their mouths shut and hoped they didn’t get punched in the face or fired.

Noel gave me a quid when I was busking in Camden Town in 1994, so as far as I’m concerned he’s a top bloke. Liam was there too and got into an argument with his brother because he didn’t like the “fookin’ folky shite” I was playing. Ahahahahahahah.

if liam and noel have one thing in common is that both of them are very egocentric, especially liam

so my take on this is, noel was abused as a child. violence was something he grew up with and im sure that being around a violent brother was something he just could not be bothered with anymore. there is a point in time when all things must end. it was bound to happen and he had even left the band briefly many times before. instead of picking sides, just enjoy the music, and be thankful that these two amazing musicians are still around producing their own songs. bye

This is the only time Noel genuinely answered the question, and to be honest as much as I’m a Liam fan I can see Noel’s points that he makes. I just hope one day they’ll get on again as brothers for their mums sake.

There we were..NOW HERE WE ARE

This looks like a congressional hearing.

In this video: one side of the story

It's like no one in this comment section really listened to what he said. Liam was literal chaos and there's only so much you can take. Everyone here would've left too if they were in Noel's place

All these comments about Liam being "talentless", "Noel's better than Liam anyway", "Noel was the reason for Oasis's success not Liam"..... Bullshit. Liam was just as important to the success of Oasis as Noel and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. Liam is the best frontman of his generation and there hasn't been anyone like him in 20 years. The fact he's a dick actually adds to his character.

"Plum Throws Plum and Finishes Oasis" that Headline would make me Laugh and Be sad at the same Time!

Sooooo Noel can bash liam's head in with a cricket bat but the minute Liam starts swinging a guitar it's too much?

"Oasis split up because I'm Noel Gallagher, and Noel Gallagher was Noel Gallaghering my Noel Gallagher Noel Noel Gallagher. Noel Noel Gallagher, Noel, Noel Noel Gallagher." - Noel Gallagher on Noel Gallagher's decision to Noeliffy Oasis

Noel comparing Liam to Randy Savage..feckin lost it hahaha

I know someone who EXACTLY like Liam. He's funny, got charm and charisma but has no idea of when he's being a prick. None at all. When he does, he assumes he'll just get his way, we'll get over it or we just move on. There's a point when enough is enough. It took me two years to even acknowledge this friend again after one of his arrogant "bouts" and it'll never be the same. Watching every interview etc on RU-vid Liam is literally word for word like my friend. I understand what Noel most probably feels and felt like. It's weird being the less charming but more reliable one, people look at you as if you're the bad cop.

If It was wrong for Liam to sell clothes to Oasis fans, who should he sell them to then?

Liam would be classed as a Grandiose Narcissist. Poor Noel lol He was always trying to regulate his brothers behaviour. Noel just wanted to build on what they had . Liam became an animated Narc . Noel is creative on organised 👏🏻✔️🍻

Sam Harris does a great Manchester accent.

Noel was a professional, Liam needed to grow up. It obviously wound up Noel no end.

They broke up because Noel gave up coke and Liam didn't ! Plain and simple... different wave lengths now !

Noel's the talent, Liam's the image

I once thought it was Liam's fault for Noel leaving, and consequently Noel leaving. But after seeing Noel in interviews, sometimes shorting his own music (he may be entitled to do so), I can see that it angered Liam. personally, I'd be annoyed if someone in my band would talk shit about it, even if that person did 95% of the songwriting. Both have egos, maybe one has it more than the other. Not sure really. Also, it does a bit about Gem, Andy and Chris making music with Liam rather than Noel. Maybe they don't want to say it, but however creatively superior Noel is, they might have preferred Liam's approach to songwriting, or his personality over Noel's. I mean, all 3 of them went with Liam. And it does say something, right? I like Noel's music. And his humor. But just because he wrote everything doesn't mean his reasoning is more justified than Liams. Both were probably twats to each other. And Noel is making good music on his own. And I hope Liam can make a comeback, especially after his messy personal life has gotten out to the public. Hope he learns form any mistakes he's made and makes the rest of his career good.

Both of them will regret this when one of them dies.

Noel, jesus-h-cripes!! Why would you put up such a stink over your OWN BROTHER, who came from the same home trying to make a few dollars by advertising?! You mean to tell me one of the best bands I ever heard broke up over that!?? The other guys in the room should have told Liam to go chill and then tried to convince Noel to let Liam have his advertising spot and that's it!!

Don’t really understand why you wouldn’t allow your brother to advertise something in a programme Rather pathetic if you ask me Contradicts himself too at the end saying you just end up arguing about bollocks Well Noel.......

Noel, we bow to your honesty. I have found you to always talk straight. While Damon Albarn bangs on about saving the whale or some other shite. It shits me when I speak to people about Oasis and they say, "Oh yeah, Oasis, they were a good band, pitty about the brothers, they were wankers" Well fuck them, the're just used to bullshit that's fed to them. Ok, enough ranting. Peace out

They'll be back. Noel will agree when he needs the cash. If Axl and Slash can, these two can

"He didnt turn up to the v festival gig, cause he had a hangover, he claims he had larringitus, but whatever"

Everytime i hear a Noel interview, he has to talk about money at some point.

Need a movie on Oasis with that scene in Paris

I still think Liam Gallager is the coolest man to ever exist Live Forever...

Sales of electrolux kettles increased substantially after this video

You both need family counselling. Your poor Mother.

It’s fascinating watching them talk in interviews, they are the true, classic Extrovert and Introvert, on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. People who are that different in personality types never really have any chance of getting on very well. Noel is a much slower talker, you can see him thinking through his thoughts and what he wants to say. He’s always been more sensitive, contemplative. He’s the songwriter, and uses that as a means of creative expression and catharsis, whereas Liam was just all about the spotlight, being the star, the center of attention. I think that’s changed over time, singing does mean something to him now, at least more than it did in their hey day. But Noel is older and set in his ways. So even though Liam is very childlike, apologizing for whatever he did and “if he did do it he didn’t mean it”, Noel is just a totally different person and can’t tolerate the animosity and chaos that ensues when they’re together. Still nothing that a good year or two of therapy couldn’t fix though, as far as their communication issues. Ego is as much a part of their feud as personality differences. You have to be willing to work on a relationship and care about the other persons feelings for it to get better.

WTF over a clothing line, dam Liam, all you had to do was simply put it out at the souvenir stand, it would have sold by itself. Let's keep hope that the love for the music brings family together some day

Get the original 5 Oasis back together or never get back. Andy Bell, Gem and the drummer of the week have done nothing but ruin Oasis. Noel should write all the songs with the original lineup and quit fucking around.

This album will be massive!!!!!!

Great to see Noel and Liam made it out,don”t look back in anger

Shows how petty and twisted Noel is when he couldn't even give Liam an ad in a tour programme

I feel that their attitudes have switched over to one another over time with Liam now being more sensitive and Noel just being an asshole.

Liam should have just stuck in the back ground n let Noel b front HELL NOEL WAS ALL THE TALENT COME ON MAN!!! now liam is covering old Oasis songs!?!?! Anybody!?!

That would have sucked to be at that concert. About to see Oasis and they break up five minutes before they take the state. Ha

The things I watch during lockdown 🙉

It's quite telling that the rest of the band went with Liam. Also quite telling that nearly every ex member of Oasis got on better with Liam (i spoke to Bonehead). Noel is the media darling who gives great interviews so everybody believes him. He is a top bloke but don't believe everything you hear from him. People are talking about Liams ego but what about Noels? Liam doesn't feel the need to chase fame anymore and also doesn't turn up on every irrelevant tv show to man like Soccer AM with his perfect haircut giving everybody a load of soundbites.

Watching this back in 2021, Noel seems a lot less bitter and a lot more genuine than he does now. He explains what went down in a civilised manner and doesn’t come across like the angry old man he does now.

Basically his brother is a unbearable prick like mine. Life is stressful enough without them making things worse! A bit of a prick is tolerable but when it gets too much It's time to leave them to it. Hopefully with age and maturity these types will improve.

"Don't go away" please we love you

"It was just a band and nothing more. You still have the memories and albums to go back to. We are not immortal, we happen to be men"-John Lennon on Beatles breakup... But i hope we do see an Oasis reunion

That was the last true and greatest British rock n roll band EVER !!!!

I personally think that Noel can't stand fact that Liam was the number one in the front and he was only "leadguitar and back vocal". Maybe was this ok in the beginning but in the later years, when Liam act like an idiot on stage, he has a big problem with that. I thik also that Noel can sing better then Liam, but he must accept the fact, that without the voice of Liam many songs would loose the magic. Liam is a rock singer and Noel is incedibly good at accustic sessions, which shows me that he is a good singer. In fact they both act like two 8 year old boys. I mean Noel is 47 and Liam is 42 they should grew up and forget their problems and make quickly a Oasis reunion. I feel sick when I look at the charts. Only crap, nothing to worth to go and buy the record!

Can't blame noel really. Can tell he's the kinda guy who isn't gonna condone violence, man. I think the band ran it's course anyway, everyone has their day. I was at the v festival gig they they didn't show up too. Snow patrol played instead. I got ejected from the festival and just remember hearing fucking snow patrol in the distance as i trudged back towards the car park. Worst festival ever.

Being old enough to remember oasis from the early 90's as they emerged the Gallagher's were always the main focus and of course the only original members when the band split. So the focus was very much on them. Liam was a fonumanal front man and had a stage presence that set him aside. He just stood and belted out the songs with real presence. How many fans at the time adopted "mad for it" personalitys, dressed like him, etc. He was the fan e of Oasis. But without Noel it would never have happened. He wrote some of the best music of my 48 years on the planet and without his songs and drive would we have ever of heard of Oasis? He was the most important band member IMO and yes whilst crazy in the early days. You can see in interviews like this he has matured. Liam however still hangs on to his mad for it attitude, comes across as both aggressive and ill educated which gets a bit boring after 25 years.

Being someone with two brothers whom I love dearly, i feel like I can see the pain in Noel’s face when he has to talk about this. Not that he has deep love for Liam, but you can tell that it’s extremely complicated and he wishes it wasn’t.

It's awful to have a violent sibling. I know. I had one until I said, 'Enough' and now he's making someone else miserable.

Noel was around domestic violence as a kid and when you listen to those extracts from Supersonic, it hits him at a deeper emotional level. So when stark reminders of that started to encompass his work, he had every right to leave the band. I’ve got to say this is the most open I’ve ever heard him speak. There’s a book about his favourite sayings that I once had and one of them was that he would never ever let anyone get to see what exists in the depth of his mind. I think he’s referring to trauma.

I really feel for Noel. I saw Oasis at Knebworth in '96. It was great right up to the point where Liam reminded us how much money they have. There were a lot of groans where we were. At this point you can't really expect Liam to grow up.

I Always thought that deep inside Noel felt regreted for not taking the step in the 90's and becoming the frontman of his own band. all in all, if you think about it, the 99% of the oasis song belongs to him, he could have created his own Band and sing and play The guitar and get all the recognition that he surely would've liked to have. Its something that must have wandering in his head all The time

I just feel sorry for their mother. One day we'll all be gone and as one by one we go, each feels grief for the other. They should think about that.

Lets face it, truth is it was two crazy, very stubborn, similar brothers trying to get along and the thread finally snapped. They will be two peas in a pod when they are old men and over all the bullshit.

Unlike PINK FLOYD....i do believe i will see this band live again....call me mad but i do
