Oasis' Noel Gallagher slams Mick Hucknall after Manchester comment

Noel says Mick’s comments are 'irrelevant'

Oasis last made a great record in '96 and The Stones in '72? That's just fact is it A_Dis? Let's face it... Oasis' first 2 albums were good enough for them to retire on. In my opinion there's not been any greater albums released since them. Just my opinion of course. So of course they're going to play a lot of songs off them at live shows. However... to dismiss everything else since then as cack is just ignorance. The last 2 albums have been a big step in a new musical direction... especially 'Dig Out Your Soul' which I think is their 3rd best album. Because their first 2 albums were so amazing... everything else they release gets unfairly compared to them if it's not AS good. If any of their other albums had been released without DM and WTSMG preceeding them... they'd be heralded a lot more than they have been. But unfortunately many short sighted critics can't see past this. X Factor is something entirely different and basically an animal unto itself. The popularity of the contestants is more to do with the people themselves rather than their actual abilities. Sure... there are some hugely popular bands who I don't care for and don't think are that good... but it's just a matter of taste rather than me stating that they are shite FACT.

So you're saying that generally speaking... whatever is popular isn't that good? Sorry but what does that make less popular music or completely unpopular music? Just because someone gets told to listen to a band because their mate tells them they're 'cool' or 'great' or whatever... doesn't make the band any less great... that's just absurd. This rule basically says for the most part any band that has become huge isn't really that good. Jesus... someone should tell Mick and Keef that they're not that good. Shall I give Sir Paul a ring and tell him The Beatles were actually a bit shit? Makes me laugh how because someone doesn't like a band that is hugely successful they just believe their fans are stupid. Bitter much?

A_Dis... I think you know you're wrong. The Stones still are relevant. As are The Beatles and The Kinks and The Who and any other great band that helped shape Britain's musical landscape. If it wasn't for these bands where would music be today? Just because a band recorded music 40 years ago doesn't render them irrelevant. If millions of people are still interested in something or someone... it's relevant trust me. And by the way... like it or not... Take That are ridiculously relevant to pop music. To think otherwise is pure ignorance just because you may not like them and because they're a boyband. Also... ed2005... popularity is just an indication of how gullible people are? So nothing that's popular is good then? Idiot.

People on here saying Noel Gallagher has been writing the same music for 10 years? Never! I'd never expect those comments in a million years from some of the people registered on this site. You'll all be using that great argument about 'Oasis not being relevant' any more any time now as well. I think the fact Oasis sold out their arena tour in roughly an hour and then shifted half a million tickets for next Summers stadium shows in about 7 hours speaks volumes of how 'irrelevant' they really are. More bands should release the same music for 10 years like Noel Gallagher has... then maybe the British music scene would be miles better than it is at the minute.
