Noel Gallagher reveals 'biggest' fight with Liam - and unlikely weapon used

There are family feuds and the Gallagher brothers' fallouts. and are set to reunite for the first time in 16 years, and Oasis's comeback on stage is set to get underway in July.

The announcement came just before the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe, marking since a notorious backstage brawl in Paris in 2009 - the incident that ultimately led to the band's split.

But if you thought that was their biggest row, you'd be mistaken. That Paris altercation - reportedly triggered by Liam swinging a guitar like an axe and Noel smashing his own instrument in frustration - concluded with Noel storming out.

A statement was released hours later, and the end of Oasis was met with sadness by their fans. However, as Noel himself has stated, the "biggest fight" occurred years earlier, in a farmhouse in Wales, during the recording of their second album.

It was 1995, and Oasis were deeply immersed in the sessions for What's The Story (Morning Glory) at Rockfield Studios. The band were secluded, heavily drinking, and spending every waking moment together.

"As I recall, Liam was going pretty f***ing mad," Noel recalled in the documentary Oasis: Supersonic. "Somebody let off a fire extinguisher in the farmhouse. I think maybe one of my guitars got damaged, and I blamed him," reports .

The outcome was a full-blown physical brawl that ended with Noel grabbing bassist Guigsy's bat and, in his words, "smashing [Liam's] head in."

Liam Gallagher's account is full of chaos: "The whole studio got smashed to pieces. Everything just got blitzed to bits.

"It was probably me not giving a f***, and him trying to write f***ing Bohemian Rhapsody, and me going, 'B*****ks, let's have it.'".

Following the fracas, Noel made his escape out of a window with Alan White, then new to the band as drummer. In a dramatic exit, Liam proceeded to pummel their car with a dustbin.

White powered through the turmoil, sticking with Oasis until 2004, though his first week with the group certainly tested his mettle.

The infamous cricket bat quickly became an iconic piece of Oasis folklore. It hit the auction block in 2011, with evident battle scars to show for it.

Fast forward to 2025, and it appears the band has settled their differences enough to unite on tour. The Live '25 Tour is set to begin its run in Cardiff this summer and will wrap up in São Paulo come November.

It brings the Gallagher brothers back to the limelight with stadium tours spanning Europe and South America, much to the delight of their avid supporters.
