Noel Gallagher: Remaining members could have kept Oasis name in 2009

Noel Gallagher has said the bandmates he left behind in a Paris dressing room nearly seven years ago could have kept the lucrative Oasis name with his blessing.
노엘 갤러거가 7여년 전 파리 드레싱룸에 그가 남겨두고 떠났던 밴드 멤버들을 두고 그들은 그의 축복과 함께 이른바 돈이 되는 오아시스라는 이름을 유지할 수도 있었을 것이라고 말했다.
Speaking to Rolling Stone as he continues a US co-headlining tour with Ryan Adams, Gallagher insisted he only needed a call to hand over the rights to a band name which had built-up a world-wide fanbase on the back of nearly 100 million record sales.
“On the day that I left, they could have had the name if they’d have en masse, called me up,” he said. “I would have signed the name off to them but they didn’t.”
라이언 아담스와 함께 헤드라인을 서는 미국 투어를 이어가고 있는 그는 롤링 스톤과의 인터뷰에서 그는 거의 1억 장에 가까운 레코드 매출을 낼 수 있는 팬베이스를 가진 전세계적 밴드의 이름을 쓸 권리를 양도해줄 수 있는 연락만 받았으면 됐다고 주장했다.
After a backstage altercation with brother Liam Gallagher before an August 2009 festival appearance in Paris, Noel left Oasis and subsequently formed his solo vehicle the High Flying Birds, where he remains. Liam, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock reemerged in 2011 as Beady Eye but had a split of their own after two studio albums.
While Liam Gallagher has been hinting on social media he is now ready for a solo career, Andy Bell has since rejoined Ride while Archer was last seen back performing with Noel Gallagher earlier this year. Sharrock is back with the elder Gallagher too, and is currently behind the drumkit on the aforementioned US tour.
