Liam Gallagher Wants Oasis, The Verve And The Stone Roses To Play A Gig Together

Liam Gallagher has revealed that he’s been trying “for years” to book a gig featuring Oasis, The Stone Roses and The Verve, also hinting at “something big” coming next summer.

The former Oasis frontman releases his debut solo album ‘As You Were’ this Friday (October 6), but took to Twitter earlier today (October 4) to tell a fan how he wants the three bands to unite for one big gig. “What a night,” he said, “Some people need to get [off their] high chairs”.

“So many extraordinary people on this planet,” Liam added. “We need to come together, c’mon music is power”.

Gallagher also teased his plans for an event next summer, saying: “Stay tuned but I’m gonna round up the troops for something… all are welcome”.

“Now we have your attention, stay tuned, we are family, Gallagher vibes in the area,” he went on to tweet.

After denying any feud with The Stone Roses earlier this year, Gallagher recently said that he would love to form a supergroup with them and Richard Ashcroft.

“Anyone that would be in a supergroup or that would have anything to do with a supergroup are all solo,” said Gallagher. “There’s far too many solo stars out there for my liking and not enough bands. I’m doing this cause I have to. I’d much prefer to be in a band.”

Liam added: “The ideal ones would be the guys out of The Stone Roses. I think they just split up, so that would be good. [Richard] Ashcroft would be good. There’s a lot of people out there, but the majority of them are all doing their own thing. But, if they want to do one, give us a shout. I’ll do it.”

Liam Gallagher Wants To Team Up With The Stone Roses And Richard Ashcroft

The former Oasis frontman, who's preparing to release his debut solo album next month, also has Richard Ashcroft on his wish list.

Liam Gallagher is keen to collaborate with The Stone Roses.

The 44-year-old singer is set to release his debut solo album titled As You Were on 6 October, but the star has admitted he would "much prefer" to be in a band or partner up with his fellow Mancunians.

Speaking to Consequence Of Sound about his career, he said: "Anyone that would be in a supergroup or that would have anything to do with a supergroup are all solo. There's far too many solo stars out there for my liking and not enough bands. I'm doing this cause I have to. I'd much prefer to be in a band.

"The ideal ones would be the guys out of The Stone Roses. I think they just split up, so that would be good. [Richard] Ashcroft would be good. There's a lot of people out there, but the majority of them are all doing their own thing. But, if they want to do one, give us a shout. I'll do it."

Although the Wonderwall singer is open to collaborating with fellow musicians, he won't go through with any partnerships if he isn't singing.

He explained: "But, I'd have to be the singer. I'm down with it, but I'm not going to f**king stand there and do tambourine. I need to be on the f***ing mic, man."

Now Liam has left Oasis following his feud with his brother and fellow band member, Noel, he plans to simply "enjoy" his career and live "in the moment", because he feels time has passed him by.
He added: "But one record at a time, man. That's one thing I've learned over the last 20 years -- to f**king enjoy it and be in the moment. The last couple things, I got caught up in the bubble, and it just passes you by, and you go, 'Well, what the f**k happened there?' So, this time, one record at a time, and I guess we'll see how it goes. You got to live in the now, man, cause it's precious. As you get older, every day is f**kin'... You gotta wear it, you know what I mean? Thinking about the future, f**k that shit.

"I'm feeling good about it, so we'll see what happens at the end of the tour."

On This Day In Oasis History...

On August 10th 1996, Oasis played the first of two nights at Knebworth. Support for the two days included The Prodigy, Ocean Colour Scene, Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers, Kula Shaker and Dreadzone.

Below is a review from THE TIMES of the show.

Review: Oasis at Knebworth, 1996

One in 20 Britons applied for tickets to see Oasis in concert at Knebworth. Our critic joined the crowd on Saturday.

Three million people, 5 per cent of the population, applied for tickets and those lucky enough to get them were treated to two new songs, My Big Mouth and It's Getting Better Man , along with tried and tested hits. With a guest list of 7,000 there were plenty of opportunities for star-spotting: Mick Hucknall of Simply Red, Jarvis Cocker and Kate Moss made their way to the celebrity enclosure to compare bodyguards with Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit, and all looked disingenuously surprised when mobbed by amateur paparazzi.

For those not chosen as Kate Moss's plus one, there were tickets still available at a price. Cro-Magnon touts were willing to get you into "The Gig of the Decade" for £300, a sizeable mark-up from £22.50. Once inside, many would have gladly paid £300 to avoid queues. There were 400-yard tailbacks for each bar and toilet. But with the temperature into the 70s and a PA so powerful everyone was guaranteed to leave touched by tinnitus, such matters were of little importance. Oasis took to the stage at 9pm, greeted by a roar so huge that flocks of birds took to the sky from Knebworth's old oaks.

"Hello, hello, hello," Liam said, making a fairly good job of John Lennon's famous "retard" impression. "Let's go." And off they went, kicking out the music that has made the Top 40 truly exciting for the first time in ten years and working hard for the estimated £5.6 million the weekend accrued.

Joined for the inevitable encore of Champagne Supernova by The Stone Roses's ex-guitar player John Squire, Oasis bowed out in a blaze of guitar solos and a firework display. As many tired and emotional punters fell over backwards, disorientated from staring at the sky so long, Martin Carr of the Boo Radleys said: "Everyone in Britain - except Damon from Blur - loves Oasis. They can do no wrong." He would appear to be right.

Liam Gallagher Posed For Photos With Fans At The Stone Roses Gig In Manchester Yesterday

Liam posed for photos with delighted fans watching the band at the Etihad Stadium.

Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher caused a stir among fans as he turned up in Manchester yesterday to watch The Stone Roses.

The Live Forever and Wonderwall singer delighted revellers turning out to watch the Roses at the Etihad Stadium by posing for photographs.

In one cheeky snap he was seen licking a window as a fan looks on. In other photos he showed off a rather splendid colourful coat, his hair grown back into his trademark longer style.

One fan enthused in a photo shared on Instragram: “En route to the Roses and I meet this legend!”

Another fan, while pointing at Liam, says: “So this happened.”

Fans spread the word on Twitter that he was in town to see the Waterfall hitmakers, who play their final gig at the Etihad tonight, saying: “It’s official - Liam Gallagher is in Manchester to see The Stone Roses.”

Another tweeted: “First time in Manchester and I meet Liam Gallagher. Excited for the Stone Roses tonight. Everything is looking up.”

And even if they didn’t meet the actual Liam Gallagher, some fans thought they might have done, with one tweeting: “It’s hard to try and spot Liam Gallagher at a Stone Roses gig at the Etihad when everybody looks like Liam Gallagher. #stoneroses.”

Liam wasn’t the only Manc legend in town to watch the Stone Roses. Former Manchester United player David Beckham was there on Wednesday night.

Before playing This Is The One, Ian Brown announced to the crowd “This one is dedicated to Mr Beckham.”

After the show David and his 17-year-old son Brooklyn popped out for a curry in Longsight.

So this happened #liamgallagher #oasis

Oasis Documentary On The Way From Filmmakers

A documentary all about the rise of Oasis is coming - and it's in the works from the team behind this year's Amy Winehouse movie Amy.

The film will journey from the moment Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band in 1991, to releasing their debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994.

According to Deadline, Amy director Asif Kapadia will executive-produce alongside James Gay Rees. Mat Whitecross is directing.

The as-yet-untitled documentary will feature never-before-seen archive footage and insight from both Noel and Liam.

Director Whitecross previously worked on Spike Island, about a group of Stone Roses fans trying to get tickets to see the band's Spike Island concert in 1990.

Meanwhile, Noel recently ruled out Oasis headlining Glastonbury (again), simply because the festival "don't pay enough" to justify a reunion.

Tabloid Alert: Oasis “Definitely Maybe” Reuniting For Gigs In 2016

The band is planning a comeback UK arena tour after a six-year break. Other big Manchester bands including the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays have made a fortune through comebacks.

Now the Gallagher brothers Noel, 48, and Liam, 43, plus bandmates Andy Bell and Gem Archer, are in “serious talks” to follow suit.

Our source said: “Other bands have reunited and had a fantastic pay day so it makes sense for everyone involved.

“It has been discussed seriously – it’s only a matter of time.

“It is looking so certain it is worth betting on for next year.”

Noel and Liam have made up following the arguments that led to the band’s split. In March, Liam revealed they had healed their rift after tweeting a picture of himself holding an Access All Areas pass for Noel’s gig with his band High Flying Birds.

They had reportedly settled their differences in January during a family wedding in Ireland.

The brothers famously split after a series of rows between them.

Noel quit the band in 2009 after cancelling a gig at Paris’ Rock On Seine festival just hours before they were due to play. He left Liam and formed his new band.

His brother went on to start Beady Eye with Gem, 48, and Andy, 51.
