How does Noel Gallagher appear in Issue.14?
Issue.14 is about music, and its passage on Oasis has the subtitle about the biggest polarity in music. The author says he has to bring Oasis to the table because it is a band tattooed in his heart and because Liam and Noel Gallagher are "a perfect representation of what happens when two opposites are able to collaborate". He asks what it is about a duo of brothers working together that makes it possible to create music that inspires a whole generation.
The author writes that each brother is entitled to his own genius, that they got into a misunderstanding in 2009 that put the band on hiatus, and that together they make music for generations, while apart they pursue solo careers with not nearly half the impact. In a line addressed to the brothers, he asks them to make peace because the world needs their music. The passage goes on to quote lyrics of The Masterplan and The Importance of Being Idle, credited to Oasis; Noel is not named again.
