The Gallagher brothers know exactly why it was that Oasis never became the big number in the United States.
The Reunion tour of Oasis is a single triumph so far. After concerts on the island, which could also have been sold out two or three times, Noel and Liam Gallagher with a band are now in America.
Recommendations of the editorial team
There are concerts in Chicago, New Jersey and Los Angeles, then we go to Mexico City and South America. The appearances for the British are an event because in 2008 they last played as part of their “Dig Out Your Soul” tour in front of plenty of empty ranks when they flew across the large pond.
The disregard of the American audience was never a big problem for Oasis. In November 2023, Noel Gallagher even suspected that the group could not win a flowerpot here because America did not fit their attitude.
Oasis have always shown the wrong attitude
In an interview with “NME”, he explained that there was never a number 1 album for Oasis because the Americans are against the grain, how pretty much everything is. “You would never be particularly committed to us because we wouldn’t do that for you either.”
Noel Gallagher continues: “That is why we were never nominated for a Grammy – because you have to do all these strange things there, you have to pretend a bit as if, and we just couldn’t do that, which is why we always got stuck in second place.”
The fact is: Each one of the seven studio albums from Oasis achieved first place in Great Britain, but the band in the United States could not get a single and also with a record on top rank in the charts. Only be here Now (1997) made it into the top 10 and reached second place. The mega hit “Wonderwall” scored with a top 50 placement in the Billboard Top 100.
However the past looked for Oasis in America, success is now there for the time being. The concerts of their “Live 25” tour are also occupied on the new continent to the last standing room.
