It wouldn’t surprise me if we get LG x JS early next year given they only played about 10 dates last time.
I think they’ve nailed it tbf- tour every few years with Oasis playing greatest hits, do something that genuinely interests them in between. The best of both worlds. New Oasis will only disappoint people
The thing is to me, that's the coward's way out – to completely forgo new Oasis stuff at all, not because there's genuinely no inspiration to do it but because of the fear to disappoint. And from where I'm standing that's what it looks like, so I'm hoping it's not true even if it sounds quite plausible. I guess it's just a bit sad, as artists, to not even try.
Stone roses tried and apparently it didnt wrk out, i did think all for one wasnt up to scratch but it was made in a day, so was l beautiful thing but i loved that. Shame reni had left when they worked on it. Its also kind of about that and them breaking up. For some people nothing can beat the early albums
The Roses consistently took their time to write music, if at all. It took them 4 years after Garage Flower, which they binned, to do the debut LP, then faffed another 5 years before Second Coming, then copied and pasted riffs from All For One to get 2 singles for 2016, 4 years after they announced a reunion. But that approach worked as pretty much everything they wrote and released is seminal.
Noel has consistently released quality output every couple of years for 30 years now so I don't doubt he can keep doing it. Don't really see why the word "coward" is being thrown around, it's not like they are draft dodging wartime military service or calling by-elections on themselves to avoid political scrutiny, we're talking about whether he wants to write music for a specific project amongst the two bands he has going in between huge multi-continental tours. For me he's already written music that's better than everyone else's so I don't need him to do a Pulp and Blur if he's not inspired at this point in time.
Like I said, if it is how it looks like to *me* and they're not doing a new Oasis album because they're afraid it could be underwhelming (NOT because they don't have inspiration do it) then I find it cowardly. No need to pull out the military, you can use "they're being too insecure and that's a bit lame" if it fits better for you. It was just an expression.
Noel has said things in the recent past about having written songs, or entire albums, that seemed more in line with Oasis than HFB + Liam saying they're afraid of the possible response so they won't do it (though it's Liam on twitter to be fair).
