Oasis' Greatest Hits

Noel Gallagher denies he's a tough guy, but that hasn't stopped him and his brother from brawling with fans, bandmates and each other over the years. A few of their more famous dustups:

1994 During their first U.S. tour, Liam changes the words of Noel's songs, offending both him and U.S. fans. During a post-show confrontation, a chair is thrown and Noel leaves the tour.

1995 While recording (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, the brothers have a violent fight involving a cricket bat after Liam invites everyone from a pub to the studio where Noel is working.

1997 In Australia, Liam is charged with assault after head-butting a 19-year-old fan who claims he was asking him for a photo. The charges are dropped, and a lawsuit is settled out of court.

2000 While drinking in Barcelona, Liam insults Noel's wife sparking a scuffle. Noel leaves and vows to quit the tour, but eventually returns.

2001 Shortly after the birth of Liam's second son in July, the singer tries to drag a photographer into a fight outside the hospital.

2002 Liam, drummer Alan White and members of their entourage are arrested after a drunken brawl in a Munich club. Liam, who also tested positive for alleged cocaine use, loses two front teeth, while Alan is hit in the head with an ashtray. Liam claims they are fighting Italian gangsters -- who turn out to be real-estate agents and computer salesmen.

2007 While shopping with then-fiancee Nicole Gallagher and son Gene, Liam attacks a photographer, pummelling him with fists and insults for apparently following too closely.

2008 Noel is assaulted onstage during Virgin Festival in Toronto by a man who shoved him down into his monitor speakers and then lunged at Liam before being tackled by security. Noel -- who recently admitted he initially thought he had been stabbed -- sustained three broken ribs. Daniel Sullivan, 47 of Pickering, Ont., has been charged with assault and is due in court Oct. 24.
