Noel Gallagher: White Stripes "out of the club"

Noel lost his hunger when Oasis achieved the fame he craved. Since then he has turned into the indie Oscar Wilde, spitting caustic comments on everyone else in the world. I think his comments are witty and imaginative usually, which is why they pick up a large amount of press. The idea of him having his own TV show sounds quite funny to me but people getting wound-up by his quotes seems a little silly- that's what he does; its like John Lydon swearing or Oliver Reed behaving boorishly in the past.

..and are the White Stripes relevant? Maybe if the year was 1958 but thankfully its 2006 and most bands realize the importance of a good rhythm section.

I just heard Oasis' "All Around the World" on an AT&T commercial. Does that mean they have to kick themselves out of their own club?

I just came lookin' for this thread to type this exact statement. F'n kooks.

i see what you mean, but for what it's worth, at&t paid oasis for a song they already wrote. jack white is actually writing a song FOR coca-cola. despite how much i like the white stripes, it's still the definition of selling out.

Really? I'd say you've got it backwards. Oasis allowed one of their regular songs to be hijacked by a corporation. Whatever it used to be about, it's now "that AT&T commercial song". Jack White created something new specifically for it. None of his real songs are tainted.

"Now you mean to tell me that all the *BEEP* and all the *BEEP* are all out of the country? I'll just have a coke then."









"I'll have a coke!"

Check & Mate.. I was thinking of this thread a couple days ago when i saw that commercial for the first time. Noel is a drunk ass busta who just likes to run his mouth.

HAHHAHA ...It took me a couple of seconds to realize who that was at first.

if someone offered me money for that song id give it to them too. its no wonderwall.

I'll have a coke!

If given only those two hellish choices, I'd rather listen to My Chemical Romance than any but possibly the first and half of the second Oasis albums. And yes, I heard the last Oasis album. If you thought it was an improvement over their previous efforts, it was only because it rose to the level of mediocrity, which seemed a huge increase over the out-and-out suckage of their immediately previous releases.

yeah but screw radio. they still sold out every show (ampitheaters) they played this summer. they sell out huge venues whether the album theyre touring on is any good or not.

It's nice to know you can keep yourself relevant by throwing spectacular temper tantrums. And, for that matter, sell out amphitheaters by playing utterly standard Britrock. At least The White Stripes don't sound like anybody else, let alone about a million other bands.
