The four-piece put on a surprise show, which which was watched by 1,000 people, at the tiny venue of Parr Hall located in Warrington. Andrew Rudder, from Ashton Under Lyne, commented that the Mancunians had never performed so well together, although this view might have been contested by Liverpudlian Tom Six, aged 35, who criticised singer Ian Brown’s vocals before pointing out that the frontman had always had a terrible voice.

Brown’s famously shambolic performances on the microphone before the Stone Roses called it a day in 1996 have become a thing of music legend. Dennis Warriner, aged 50 from York, thought that the performance started off a little ropey but definitely went better as time went on.

The hour-long set consisted of 11-songs, the first of which was the album opener from the band’s self-titled debut – I Wanna Be Adored. Other favourites from the 1989 landmark LP included Waterfall, She Bangs the Drums, and Waterfall, with just two songs, Tightrope and Love Spreads, performed from the group’s second and last album, The Second Coming.

It was the first time that Brown, John Squire, Gary “Mani” Mounfield and Alan “Reni” Wren had performed as a band since 1990, as the latter mentioned member was kicked out of the group due to incidents related to heroin addiction before the group disbanded. Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, who is known to have been heavily influenced by Brown, was one of many music stars in the crowd.

The Poker Face songstress won in the categories of International Female Solo Artist, International Breakthrough Act and International Album, prompting host Peter Kay to suggest that the only award she did not win was International Male – a rather poor attempt at humour relating to hermaphrodite allegations. Despite the quip, Lady Gaga proved more human that former Oasis front man Gallagher who derided the voters who named the band’s ‘What’s the Story Morning Glory’ album as the greatest of the past 30 years.

Lily Allen, who won British Female Solo Artist, was also un-ladylike when prompted to wind up her acceptance speech told organisers to f**k off. The British music industry once again showed its class, or lack thereof, on the international stage, further highlighted by Brit boy band JLS taking out two of the night’s top awards – British Single and British Breakthrough Act. Dizzee Rascal won best British Male Solo Artist in one of the evening’s more triumphant moment, a groundbreaking victory for hip hop, while British Album was won by Florence and the Machine.

The real story of the evening, however, was the behaviour of Liam Gallagher who refused to acknowledge his brother Noel in taking credit for the band’s success, before irking the crowd by throwing both the award and the microphone into the audience – prompting frantic pleas for their return by organisers. Gallagher also said he was unsure if Oasis actually deserved the honour but if the voters wanted to play this game then he’d be happy to turn up. He then expressed thanks that the whole thing was over and asked if he could now go and take lots of Class A drugs. If you’re going to throw your toys in public you should stay home. Forever.

The performer said that his new band, which comprises of ex-Oasis bandmates Gem Archer and Andy Bell, had written a total of eigh track and were looking to heading to a studio very soon.

During his interview with XFM, Gallagher said several of the new songs were already written when Oasis split.
 
The singer said that the band was planning studio time in April under the guidance of a producer. He revealed that three of the songs would be recorded with him as test and that the rest of the album would be complete with the same producer if the work was satisfying.

Gallagher revealed that he was anxious to head out with the new band, which remains nameless, adding the fact that Oasis had ‘only’ generated seven albums was regretful.

The performer managed to had a few indirect coments which were clearly directed at his brother Noel, who quit the band on a final and dramatic storming-out minutes before a show in Paris last year.

Gallagher branded ‘poor’ the quantity of work created by the band during its some 18 years together. The singer chastised Oasis for taking so long to write and record new material.

He said that “seven albums for Oasis is not good” adding that Ian Brown is already on his seventh solo record.

Gallagher revealed that he feels Oasis should have created better, more important albums.

Meanwhile, it was announced this week that Oasis had been nominated for three NME 2010 awards including Best British Band.

The ex-frontman, whose song writer brother Noel has already announced plans for a solo career, is planning to lauch a new group in the New Year.

Liam said that he believed it will a good thing to put some distance between himself and the entire Oasis thing. Liam told reporters that he didn’t want to do any solo projects, adding that he wanted to be in bands. He said that although things could be done differently these days, the new band would definitely be rock ‘n’ roll.

Liam claimed that he’s ready to launch a new band as soon as January, despite having made plans for a short hiatus from music

The singer said that he’s only planning to relax at home for the near future and just avoiding the music business for a little while and then January will set the stage for a new and different project.

Last August spelled the end of Oasis when Noel walked out on the band claiming major differences with his brother. But even with all that has gone wrong with the band, Liam still admitted to be missing those days.

Liam said he would always miss Oasis, adding that he had considered the band to be his own personal ‘thing’ and that’s who he is.

But he said Oasis is just a name and that didn’t take away from who he is.

He added that has music within his soul.

Currently busy pushing his Pretty Green fashion ware, the singer also revealed that although is carrying out other projects, music remains at the centre of his life.
