Mark Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 http://www.nme.co.uk/news/112608.htm The latest targets in LIAM GALLAGHER’s war against the world are U2, who he has branded “wankersâ€Â.The Oasis frontman has been making a splash on the comeback trail, dissing the new generation of rock bands like Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs. But now, Gallagher’s wrath has extended to the old guard, with him lashing out via the Sydney Evening Telegraph after hearing that the U2study video footage of themselves after gigs. He raged: “Wankers. Haven’t they got F**K-all better to do? I’d rather be out there getting pissed. I certainly wouldn’t go back after a gig and analyse it. No wonder they’re the biggest band in the world: ‘Oh Edge, the fourth guitar solo wasn’t right tonight’. ‘Oh sorry, Bono’. If that’s what people think rock’n’roll is…†Gallagher’s comment follow U2’s admission to NME.COM earlier this year that one of the reasons they turned down the chance to headline this year’s Glastonbury was because they were uncomfortable about being filmed for television without having control of the edit. Meanwhile, U2’s televisual assisted Vertigo tour arrives in the UK next week, kicking off at City Of Manchester Stadium on June 14. He has a point
C-man Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 He also had a point about the Kaiser Chiefs (Sorry Katassi )
shen Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 I used to like U2 before their ego's suddenly soared to unreasonable heights. Branding yourself as 'the world's biggest rock band' is frankly ridiculous and arrogant...
Knightonian Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 But its ok for Liam and Noel to claim that they are the best band since the Beatles .
Filbert_Ross Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 Liams right about all these new bands, Kaisers are awfull, Bloc party are bland, Oasis new album aint the best though.
john_lcfc Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 liams a guy who speaks is mind and if thats what he thinks then fair enough
Filbert_Ross Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 the Oasis interview in this weeks (or maybe last weeks) NME Liam comes out with some right good comments, I had a laugh reading it.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 Pot, kettle, black. Oasis should have given up after Definitely Maybe. Crock of shite ever since.
Katy Posted 9 June 2005 Posted 9 June 2005 Tsk! What his problem now? - Fez is right, Oasis have done nothing worth shouting about since 1996! Bloody jealous prickface
Filbert_Ross Posted 10 June 2005 Posted 10 June 2005 Oasis have done nothing worth shouting about since 1996! Bloody jealous prickface 121467[/snapback] the albums as a whole havent been brilliant but there still been some quality tracks on them albums like 'Gas Panic', 'songbird' 'born on a different cloud' '****ing in the bushes' and 'D'you know what i mean' to name but a few. Let see how long them Kaisers last with there 'Titty,willy, booby' music.

The problem with Oasis is they dont know how to change their musical style, they've had the same drum beat since 1994 even though they've had about 3 different drummers. I thought Oasis were great when they first came out and they were but now its just dull! If the Kaiser Chiefs become like that then ill say the same about them!
Guest Posted 10 June 2005 Posted 10 June 2005 I don't give a toss what Liam Gallagher thinks or says. He does it purely for the attention, and I don't see why people should give him the satisfaction. If U2 want to analyse their performances, then that's up to them, surely. If all bands were the same, it would be boring.

TrickyTrev Posted 10 June 2005 Posted 10 June 2005 liams a guy who speaks is mind and if thats what he thinks then fair enough 121403[/snapback] Ummm thats wierd because he seems to have a hell of a lot to say and not many thoughts in his mind. The Maths just don't add up. However, U2 ans the Kaiser Chiefs are both bollocks.
Oli Posted 15 June 2005 Posted 15 June 2005 Oasis are still class. There new album is awesome and can't wait to see them July 10th! Liam soeaks the truth about U2.
rossporterlc Posted 16 June 2005 Posted 16 June 2005 i do however think U2 are massively overated, very boring imo
stez Posted 16 June 2005 Posted 16 June 2005 i do however think U2 are massively overated, very boring imo 123915[/snapback] they are now, as are oasis, but both bands were fantastic in the early/mid nineties

Dave_7 Posted 17 June 2005 Posted 17 June 2005 U2 should just quit now. therve done enough and earnt enough to live life to the full
