Noel quits Oasis

Looks like Blur have won the Britpop revival...

Noel Gallagher says has quit Oasis after his turbulent relationship with brother Noel reached breaking point.

The announcement came just hours after the band cancelled their second gig in a week.

Noel said in a statement: "It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight.

"People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.

"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."

The band were scheduled to perform at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris this evening.

But the crowd were told by Bloc Party, who were due to perform before Oasis, that the Manchester band would not be taking the stage.

How anyone could ever even have compared these two bands has always been beyond me.

Oasis Vs Blur? Please? More like Beatles tribute band Vs Talented composers and musicians. Look at what Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon have achieved.

This is not to say that I don't appreciate some of Oasis' work, but I do respect Noel for finally cutting himself free from his frankly pretty useless sibling. Perhaps he'll produce some truly amazing stuff now.

Edit: Currently doing an Oasis listen, on the headphones (boyf is not too keen on them - in any way shape or form!!!1111) I'd forgotten how many good songs they'd produced. Hmm

Still think Liam's a tit though.

To be quite honest, i'm not really surprised poor Noel has hot footed it. He's spent years arguing with the his mouthy younger brother and let face it, he has had to cover up for Liam when he takes one of his hissy fits and storms off the stage in the middle of a gig so many times.

I hope they sort it though because when all is said and done, they are still brothers.

I was shocked hearing about this yesterday exiting the Reading festival carpark! My heart does go out to Noel, Andy, Gem and Chris for Liam's childish attitude. They will no doubt be back in the future. In terms of who is better in the whole Oasis Vs Blur thing... each have their own unique qualities but Oasis, in my head are better.

If it truly is the last of Oasis, I do hope Noel goes into some solo work, some of the best songs have been written and sung by Noel!

I hate them, thank god they'll hopefully never release another dreadful single or album, or even an EP.

now I'mma gonna crawl into a little corner of the site where no hateful replies can hurt me :blah:

No worries Nik. I'm pretty certain you have plenty of people to watch your back on this. Timsk for one. I'm pretty neutral, ie. meh, whatever etc. on the matter. Looking forward to seeing what Noel comes up with as a solo artist though.

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
