Last week, brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher confirmed that the band would be reuniting, nearly 15 years after their split following a backstage altercation at the 2009 Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

In conjunction with the reunion news, Oasis released a 30th-anniversary edition of their 1994 album, featuring outtakes, demos, alternate versions of songs from the era, and a remastered version of the original LP.

In a video posted on Oasis’s YouTube channel on Tuesday, Noel responded to questions about the iconic album, which includes tracks like “Live Forever,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star,” “Digsy’s Dinner,” and “Supersonic.”

When asked how the album would perform if it were released today, Noel commented, “I think it’d probably do all right because we’re still talking about it now, 30 years later, so it’s got a timeless thing to it. I’m not sure we’d get past the censors these days, we did swear a lot.”

The 57-year-old also discussed the influence of his Irish heritage on his music. He remarked, “The Irish influence is definitely strong in what I do and what we did as a band, given that we all come from Irish descent. But I couldn’t attribute it to one specific thing. There’s a rebellious and defiant spirit in Definitely Maybe, and that mirrors the defiance and rebellious nature often associated with the Irish.”

The new 30th-anniversary deluxe edition of Definitely Maybe includes tracks from the original, abandoned recording session at Monnow Valley Studio, as well as outtakes from the final recording sessions at Sawmills Studio in Cornwall.

Oasis have sold out seventeen dates live shows in the first leg of their 2025 Tour in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh before finishing in Dublin at Croke Park.
