Why are all Oasis / Blur etc fans so stupid? Actually don't answer that, goes with the territory I guess. What the hell is everyone on about him saying these things to sell his book? He said them IN his book, it's the papers and this website that made a point of it. He's mostly right anyway, but I don't expect people who are fans of the likes of Oasis to accept it.. It's not so much the "mindless" slagging off that needs to stop, it's the "mindless" defence of unoriginal formulaic bands that needs to stop. These people need to learn to accept criticism of their "heroes" from someone who knows far more about music than they do.
