Brit Pop Appreciation Thread

As much as everyone would like to see a reunion. I just get the feeling that there is some issues that need to be resolved.

Is Noel worried any income earned will go to his now ex wife?

Will Liam want more control over how things are done, now he is the bigger act?

Who would want to even join the band, knowing it's a powder keg?

Is Noel comfortable being in that kind of media attention anymore?

How long would any tour be. Both knowing full well, the longer the tour the more toxic it will get?

The interview comes out on Wednesday (I think) ad it is with Steve Lemacq - which should be quite good.

Did you know that Steve Lemacq used to work for NME? I'm not sure he's ever mentioned.

I imagine at some point someone will make them both a financial offer they just can't turn down.

Probably just be a load of outdoor shows in Manchester, and maybe selected festival dates around Europe. They'll do a press conference together and assorted interviews beforehand and that'll be it.

Was convinced it would've happened this year for the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe, but got the 30th anniversary of What's The Story (Morning Glory) next year. Though they could hold off til the 30th anniversary of Be Here Now, the media frenzy for that release was unreal.

Oasis will come back together eventually based on money, even if it takes another ten years.

What I'd say is, look how bad they were when they split - some things are just best left alone. Huge massive gigs with prices to match, and terrible echoing sound in hell holes like Wembley Stadium, or drowned-out colossal fields where it's like watching a DVD on volume 10/100.

Could still be fun though.
