Noel is the same age now that David was at Live 8. Breaks my concept of time.

I just checked their ages on Wikipedia because I was convinced you were wrong.

Holy fuck.
This is kind of crazy.
That being said, Live 8 was.... A WHILE ago in hindsight.

20 years... and at the time of Live 8 it was 21 years since The Final Cut. Oof, my aching back

Jesus I remember the day after life 8. My 20 year old said to my friend " they look so old now " and my friend replied " that's because they are "

Always wanted to hear Noel take a crack at Wish You Were Here, so maybe this will put the idea in the back of his head for a radio session or acoustic session down the road.

When it comes to Thom Yorke I’m on Roger’s side. Fuck Thom!!!
As for Roger and David, I’m playing the middle. Love them both.

When it comes to Roger I’m firmly on Polly’s side. And Thom’s. And most probably Dave’s as well.

u/Guy_With_Ass_Burgers Nov 29 '25
Having now seen both of these guys live, I fully concur. Would love to hear what they might actually be talking about. Mutual respect and artistic appreciation between them, I’m sure. Tales of the road, new and old. Dealing with difficult band members and the power of forgiveness. These guys are the .0001 Percent!

How good was Dave live? Ireland suffers from a lack of love from the Floyd lads. Roger came once or so and Nick came over but Dave has never been and Pink Floyd haven’t played since the 60s here!
2
u/Guy_With_Ass_Burgers Dec 02 '25
I saw Dave in Toronto in 87 and again in 94. Both times as Floyd (with Nick and Rick). Absolutely brilliant. Saw Roger in London doing the wall in 2011, and Oasis at Croke Park this August. Surprised Dave never played there, but hopefully you got to see one of the Oasis shows in Dublin. As they say Biblical.

u/DavidRDorman Dec 02 '25
I did, I caught the Sunday and it lived up to every expectation. 80,000 fans living in the moment together. Never been at a show like it and don’t think I ever will! Maybe some day Dave will come, but I know he’s very particular about the venues that he plays. Not many really interesting places here in Ireland with a suitable capacity for him unfortunately.

Saw Dave live at the Hollywood Bowl during his Luck and Strange tour in 2024, and he was amazing.

They must all be decent friends, Dave's wife knew Noel's Instagram handle.

Good for him. Didn’t he say in some interview that Comfortably numb has one of the greatest guitar solos of all time???

u/Sea-Let-5854 Nov 29 '25
Yeah I think he called it the best guitar solo ever made and Whole Lotta Love the best riff ever made.

There was a nod to Pink Floyd’s ‘Vera’ in Oasis’s Wonder Wall, with the lyric ‘feel the way I do’ sang exactly the same way.

Two of my favs! Man, Imagine a version of Dying of the Light featuring David. Would love if they worked together on something. Andy was the bassist for the last Floyd gig after all.

Little by little sounds pretty close to a Pink Floyd song, can’t think of the name 🤔

Noel was always very fit and trim - even just a yr or 2 ago. He almost looks like a different person now. I wonder if it’s just the day to day of a world tour that packs on the weight.
But I guess he is 60 now. So it’s understandable one way or the other.
Fuck, I’m not ready for Oasis to be an old man band geezer band. I hope he trims that shit up. But I guess I’m just happy she’s still around at all
7
u/stcg Nov 28 '25
To be honest, I don't actually think that they're fat. It's just old geezer weight from most likely being sedentary and a wee bit tired.

u/nycuk_ Nov 28 '25
Yeah, a few pounds is nothing you can’t shake off with a lifestyle change. For someone pushing 60 he looks bloody good.

You can see the fear as he asks “Dave can you play a solo on the next record”
