Oasis Feud Revisited: Tony McCarroll’s Candid Thoughts on Noel and Liam

EXCLUSIVE: Oasis Drummer Spills Tea on Bitter Feud with Noel and Liam

Thirty years after being booted out of one of Britain's most iconic rock bands, former Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll is finally spilling the beans on what really went down behind closed doors. In a candid chat with The Scholarly Note, Tony revealed all about his explosive fall-out with frontman Noel Gallagher and his brother Liam.

Tony, now 53 and still based in Manchester, was just 23 when he found himself at the center of a bitter feud that would change the course of his life forever. After being sacked from the band in 1995, Tony went on to make a successful career out of his time with Oasis, but it seems he's been keeping secrets for far too long.

According to sources close to Tony, he was asked to leave the band after an argument with Noel over a girl (yes, you read that right - a girl!). The drama unfolded during soundcheck when Noel allegedly overheard Tony and the female in question having a heated conversation. Noel took umbrage with Tony's behavior and promptly called for his P45.

But what really happened next? Tony insists he doesn't regret standing up to Noel, who threatened him with the sack after the incident. "I'd tell Noel exactly the same thing I told him back then," Tony quipped in a tongue-in-cheek moment. "Would I sit down and have a cup of tea, a Rich Tea, with Noel, and go, 'What the f**k happened, mate?'? I would."

Tony's comments are particularly interesting given the fact that he was recently snubbed from the band's reunion tour this year - which grossed an eye-watering £400 million. But Tony claims he hasn't lost any sleep over it: "I'm not bitter about it," he insisted. "It's just business, innit?"

When asked about his relationship with Liam Gallagher, Tony was refreshingly honest: "Everyone thinks Liam's a nutcase, but he's a shockingly nice guy." He went on to explain that Liam's infamous 'bravado' is simply a cover for his own insecurities. "A lot of it is just nerves," Tony said. "People in his face can be overwhelming."

Tony's comments are likely to send shockwaves through the Oasis fan base, who have been eagerly following the band's reunion tour this year. The former drummer's candid chat with The Scholarly Note is a rare glimpse into what really went down behind closed doors during his time with the band.

But what about Noel? Tony's views on his one-time nemesis have softened significantly since his explosive book 'Oasis: The Truth', in which he branded him "The Lord Mayor of Loneliness". Now, Tony says he'd love to sit down and have a cuppa with Noel: "I wouldn't mind having a chat with him again," he said. "But I don't expect anything."

Tony's willingness to forgive and forget is all the more remarkable considering his £15 million lawsuit against Noel in 2010 - which he eventually settled for a fraction of that amount, £550,000.

As Tony reflects on the past three decades, it's clear that he's not one to hold grudges. "I'd love to see them again," he said with a smile. "It would be lovely if something nice happened, but I don't expect anything." One thing is for certain: this exclusive chat has left us all wondering what really went down behind closed doors during the height of Oasis' fame.

The Scholarly Note can exclusively reveal that Tony's former bandmates have yet to reach out to him following his candid comments - and it seems he's not exactly holding his breath. "They haven't got in touch with me," Tony said matter-of-factly. "I don't know if they will."

Tony's journey from Oasis drummer to solo performer has been a long one, but it seems he's finally found closure. "I've moved on with my life," he insisted. "I'm not bitter about what happened. I just get on with it."

As for whether Tony would consider rejoining the band - or even watching them perform live next year - he laughed: "We'll see, innit? At the end of the day, I'm not the only ex-member left behind." It's clear that Tony McCarroll is ready to move on from his Oasis days and focus on his own future.

But what about Noel and Liam? Do they regret letting Tony go all those years ago? One thing's for sure - The Scholarly Note will be keeping a close eye on their next move...
