Noel Gallagher
Oasis
The 56-year-old Scottish businessman famously signed the 'Supersonic' rockers to his Creation Records label after seeing them perform one gig at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1993 and after they released their debut album 'Definitely Maybe' in 1994 they went on to become the biggest band in the world.
The group eventually imploded in 2009 due to a huge backstage bust-up between warring brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher which resulted in the 49-year-old guitarist quitting.
The pair have barely spoken since, but Liam, 44, has admitted he has offered an "olive branch" to Noel and would return to the band in a heartbeat, however, the 'Don't Look Back In Anger' songwriter has spurned his offer of reconciliation and didn't attend either of the two premieres for the new Oasis documentary film 'Supersonic'.
Alan is sure Noel - who has released two successful solo albums - is finished with Oasis because he doesn't want to "spoil" the legend of the group.
Asked if Oasis will reunite, he told NME: "Do you mean with Noel Gallagher? Absolutely zero. I don't think Noel will ever reform Oasis, ever! I can't see Noel Gallagher going back and doing it. If anything came out of that film ('Supersonic'), it was that it's done, it's finished, don't spoil the f***ing legend."
Alan thinks there could be a time in the future where Liam performs under the Oasis name again without Noel and it will be great.
He mused: "When he's a bit older I think Liam will probably reform Oasis and he'll sell 10,000 tickets a night singing Oasis tunes and he'll be happy with that. It would be OK with just Liam."
In the wake of Oasis, Liam formed Beady Eye with Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock but they disbanded in 2014 after two albums.
The 'Songbird' singer is currently recording his first solo album which is set to be released next summer and Alan is sure it will be a fantastic record.
Speaking previously to BANG Showbiz, the music industry legend said: "Liam is a genius. He's a good enough songwriter. He wrote a lot in Oasis and he was unlucky with Beady Eye - their song 'Flick of the Finger' was great and he wrote that. I know that dude he will come back and he will come back and come back big. I love Liam!"

Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Alan McGee has opened up about what he expects from Liam Gallagher's debut solo album - hailing him as a great songwriter and his past work as 'as good as anything that Noel's ever done'.
McGee, who first signed Oasis to Creation Records in 1993, was speaking to NME about Liam's upcoming debut solo album - and how it might be likely to compare to the two already released by brother Noel Gallagher.
"It'll probably be very good," McGee told NME. "This idea that Liam can't write songs is bollocks. He wrote a song called 'Flick Of The Finger' for Beady Eye and it was as good as anything that Noel's ever done. This idea that Liam can't write a song is fucking bullshit."
When how much he thinks Liam is likely to 'experiment', McGee replied: "I think it will be Liam. The press will probably fucking hate it but they hate everything anyway. I don't think people care any more. Music's judged by social media now, not by The Guardian."

Oasis
Singer Alex James says he would like nothing more than to see Oasis reform because the band still has much more to offer. And the band’s own Liam Gallagher agrees, as he is willing to bring it back from the dead if only his older brother, Noel, would put their differences aside.
The Blur singer, whose own group split in 2003 and subsequently bounced back in 2008, is hoping that his former rivals would work out their brotherly problems someday.
Alex told Yahoo Celeb: “I really do hope they do get back together. It’s a wonderful thing. When you’ve got something that’s so important in your life it’s really horrible to be estranged from it really.
It is kind of heartbreaking. It would be a shame to think it was lying dormant or it was never going to happen again. It’s a really precious thing, it’s a craft and it would be a disaster to think it would go to waste.”
The singer’s desire to see an Oasis comeback may come as a surprise to fans, considering the two were once huge rivals. However, he is positive there is nothing short of mutual respect nowadays.
When asked whether he ever runs into Noel or Liam, he revealed: “Yeah occasionally, I think both bands sort of really earned each other’s respect in the end. I certainly respect them.”

Robin Gibb
The Bee Gees
Barry was shocked when the 'Don't Look Back In Anger' songwriter made a beeline for him to reveal he's a big fan of his group the Bee Gees and the pair are going to go for an Indian meal in London.
The 'Night Fever' singer told The Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Noel Gallagher told me he always listened to my music. That to me is staggering. Because in the period when Oasis became big, we were gone. That was not our time.
"We're going to go for a curry. We can talk about what it was like being in a band with brothers."
The Bee Gees were comprised of Barry and his late younger siblings Maurice and Robin, while Noel was in Oasis with his younger brother Liam Gallagher before he quit the rock group following a huge bust-up between the pair in 2009.
Following their backstage hook-up at Glastonbury, Noel, 49, took to his Instagram account to upload a picture of him and Barry together and described their meeting as the "highlight" of his weekend at Michael Eavis' annual event at Worthy Farm in England.
He captioned the image: "Just got back from Glastonbury. This was THE highlight for me. One of my favourite songwriters of all time. BG and NG. (sic)"
Barry - who has sold more than 220 million records worldwide during his career - was thrilled to be asked by Chris Martin to join Coldplay on stage for their record-breaking fourth headline slot and he was touched that the crowd knew his two songs 'To Love Somebody' and 1977 disco classic 'Stayin' Alive'.
He said: "I was a nervous wreck ... but it was nice that people knew the songs."

Rizzle Kicks
Liam Gallagher has backed a mental health awareness campaign to mark World Mental Health Day 2016, which takes place today (Monday, October 10).
The #IAMWHOLE campaign was launched with help from Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks, who has recorded the song 'Whole' (scroll below to watch video) for the NHS-backed anti-stigma campaign. The campaign, a partnership with youth charity YMCA, hopes to raise awareness of mental health issues suffered by young people.
Celebrities such as James Corden and Ed Sheeran have backed the cause so far, sharing photos of their hand with a circle drawn on it. Now Oasis frontman Gallagher is the latest to join the campaign.
Liam Gallagher recently "held the olive branch out" to brother Noel Gallagher, saying that he wants to repair their relationship for the sake of their mother.
Liam told The Sunday Times: "Obviously [our mum would] like us to be chatting, sit around the table at Christmas. But it’s a stupid standoff, and we should know better, as we have kids. It would be nice for me and [Noel] to get back together as brothers. But it’s good, the standoff. I’m enjoying it. I ain’t backing down. He ain’t backing down."
"At least people are still talking about it. They’re obsessed," he added. "There’s no harm in it. He says shit about me. I say shit about him. I have held the olive branch out, and there has been nothing, so there you go. Potato it is, mate."

"Cigarettes & Alcohol" is a song by Oasis, written by Noel Gallagher. It was released as the fourth single from their debut album Definitely Maybe, and their second to enter the UK top ten in the United Kingdom, peaking at #7 (three places higher than "Live Forever"), eventually spending 35 weeks on the charts, re-entering the Top 75 on several occasions until 1997. The single was released in the UK on October 10th 1994
Background
Whereas earlier singles "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker" had used psychedelic imagery, and "Live Forever" used softer chords and tender lyrics, "Cigarettes & Alcohol" was the first real taste of the wilder attitude that Oasis appeared to be promoting. The song proclaims the inherent appeal of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs as a remedy to the banality and seemingly futile nature of the working class life. Lyrics such as "Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?" taps into the common sentiment of western disenchantment that was particularly common in the mid-1990s.
Upon first hearing the song, the man who discovered the band, Alan McGee, claimed that the song was one of the greatest social statements anyone had made in the past 25 years.

Contrary to the sleeve notes, which claimed it was recorded at the Glasgow Cathouse in June 1994, "I Am the Walrus" was actually recorded at a soundcheck for a gig at the Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland on 6 February 1994, as part of a Sony Music seminar. The reason why this wasn't mentioned on the original sleevenotes is that Noel thought mentioning the fact that it was recorded at a corporate event would "look shit". The crowd noises at the beginning and end of the track are from a Faces bootleg of Noel's.
The single is the first Oasis release to feature the inclusion of a song not written by Noel Gallagher.
Noel in the Lock the Box interview says "I remember writing it in my flat in Manchester, and two guys used to live above me, and in those days, being the fucking geezer that I was, I used to write on the electric guitar with my amp in the fucking room, in a block of flats, on ten, and one of the guys passed me on the stairs and said "You're not gonna fucking write a song to that riff are you? That's fucking rubbish" and I was going "Listen fat arse, that's gonna be fucking amazing when it comes out"."
Noel has also said of "Cigarettes and Alcohol", "That song keeps getting better and better for me."
Noel claims that when they released "Cigarettes and Alcohol", he realised how big they were going to be. He said in an interview that "that was the moment when we realised we should belt up, it's gonna get a bit mad from here on in."

Robbie Williams
Taken from a interview that Robbie Williams did with The Sun, the full interview can be found here.
I ask if Robbie has seen the new film Supersonic which covers Oasis’s wild early days and when Robbie famously left Take That in 1995, and was photographed partying with Liam and Noel Gallagher at Glastonbury.
“If it’s on a flight then I will watch it. That was a f***ing amazing time. High-octane stuff.
“Where were you while we were getting high? Well I was there — but I pushed it way too far. Things like that show everyone having an ace time but not the hangover.
"So yeah, I’d watch it on a plane but not if it reminded me of the hangover as I’ve been trying to get sober ever since.
“Liam was the voice of our generation and the soundtrack to our lives and the music industry needs a Liam.”
I ask Robbie what he thinks of Liam as a solo star as his debut album is coming next year. Could Robbie, Liam and Noel be battling it out for Best Male at a Brit Awards night?
“For competitiveness I don’t think I’ve got anything to worry about,” he smiles. “But if Liam gets the right songs, in 12 months time he could push my competitive nature and I could be p***ed off.
"Right now I just want him to make a really great album. The world misses him and I hope it is brilliant.”

Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Oasis guitarist-songwriter Noel Gallagher remembers the spontaneous creation of the band's breakout single "Supersonic" in a trailer for upcoming band documentary Oasis: Supersonic. "Someone had sent out for Chinese or fish and chips or something – or Chinese fish and chips," Gallagher says. "I went in the back room, and as bizarre as it sounds, wrote 'Supersonic' in about however long it takes six guys to eat a Chinese meal."
The band recorded and mixed "Supersonic" that same night during sessions for their 1994 debut LP, Definitely Maybe. Released as a single, "Supersonic" became a minor hit in the U.S. and U.K. – and fans immediately latched onto the track, singing the lyrics during concerts.
"We'd done gigs before that and there were people coming along because they'd read about us in the press, but nobody knew any of the songs," Gallagher says. "On the day that 'Supersonic' came out – bang, the crowd were right there. And I remember people singing the lyrics to 'Supersonic.' They're singing your words back that you'd nonsensically wrote down at fucking 3:00 in the morning."
Oasis: Supersonic, directed by Mat Whitecross, will hit American theaters only on October 26th. The film blends archival footage with newly recorded interviews, as showcased in a pair of previously released trailers. "Oasis was like a Ferrari," singer Liam Gallagher declares in the first clip. "Great to look at. Great to drive. And it'll fucking spin out of control every now and again."
