Remember how last week at Reading Festival, Dave Grohl and Tony Hawkins reached out to the crowd to help them get Oasis back together? Well, Noel Gallager has responded.

At their Reading show, it was pointed out that drummer Tony Hawkins had a photograph of Noel and Liam Gallagher on his bass drum. Tony responded by telling the audience that they want Oasis back together.

The band shouted out: “We’re trying. Let’s sign a petition. Everyone here, okay?” Grohl then asked the audience: “How many people wanna see Oasis f**king play a show?”

The stunt was a token of Foo Fighters’ admiration for the legendary Brit-pop band. Noel Gallagher, however, has responded with less than admiration.

At his gig in San Diego, Noel referenced the stunt and called out to the audience: “I’d like to start a petition to get Foo Fighters to split up.”

So if you’re waiting for that Oasis reunion… you might not want to hold your breath.
