Title: World's most successful Beatles cover band breaks up
Post by: Flannel Boy on August 28, 2009, 11:43:58 PM: Quote
Noel Gallagher, the lead guitarist of the British rock band Oasis, says he’s leaving the band because he can’t work “a day longer” with his brother Liam, The Associated Press reported. A statement from Noel Gallagher, left, on the band’s Web site (oasisinet.com) says he is leaving the group, which was formed in 1991, “with some sadness and great relief.” Oasis was scheduled to play a festival in Paris on Friday but did not appear onstage.

Rofl, yeah, I saw the news on /mu/ about 5 hours ago and didn't even bother posting it because, you know, it's Oasis.

+1 for the thread title

Who?

Oasis. They put out a couple of decent albums in the mid 90s, then--to the best of my knowledge--stopped releasing new music.

I think the song used in the anime East of Eden recently was from a new (and good) single? I grabbed the single and it had a The Prodigy remix which was pretty cool.

Even when they first got popular, all the stories were about how they'd fight on stage and stuff. :lol
