Noel Gallagher slams Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Kaiser Chiefs

Plus the Oasis man has a pop at Scouting For Girls…

Oasis Noel Gallagher has given his verdict on a variety of contemporary pop stars, slamming Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Kaiser Chiefs and Scouting for Girls.

Gallagher, speaking to BBC Newsbeat, compared Winehouse to a horse and suggested that Ronson should write more of his own material.

After re-naming Scouting for Girls "Scouting For Idiots" and comparing Winehouse to a "destitute horse," the guitarist joked that Ronson had "ruined" many of his peers' careers.

"He [Ronson] wants to write his own tunes instead of ruining everyone else's," he said. "Mark Ronson needs to learn three chords on the guitar and write a tune."

Referring to Kaiser Chiefs, whose forthcoming new album 'Off With Their Heads' Ronson has co-produced, Gallagher said, "The Monkees haven't split up, they're just going under the name of the Kaiser Chiefs.

"I did drugs for 18 years and I never got that bad as to say, 'You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant.'"

Oasis announced details of a UK tour today (August 15). Head to the Oasis tour news story to see the full dates and to find out how to get tickets.

can't disagree there.although i'd rather Mark Ronson didn't pick up a guitar, both his albums have been appalling, so can't imagine that would be any different.

For once I agree with the old thunderbird puppet, maybe that lone brain cell has achieved some sorta cognition? His knuckles may leave the floor yet.

What are they going on about (is he trying insult someone here because none of it makes sense- even if mark ronson is s***)

To be honest, amy winehouse is a very good singer and highly talented, but has let those talents go to wasted. Scouting for girls need to go and die in a corner somewhere and perhaps mr. ronson should do more of his own, personal stuff. noel was electric on radio1, well done for bringing some entertainment back to our lives!!! tom barrett.

I didn't do drug for 18 years and said 'You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant.'

Wow, He's really trying to promote this album isn't he?First he called Radiohead fan 'boring and ugly' and then this And what is he talking about on the(Kaiser Chiefs) 'haven't split up, they're just going under the name of the Kaiser Chiefs.' - good point! I didn't know...

He's hit the mark with some of those points, however you can't get past the fact that Oasis's music sounds like a senile howler monkey being disemboweled with a rusty chainsaw. Pot kettle black as far as I'm concerned. Oasis were only big because the UK has a sad fascination with mediocrity.

Nothin against oasis but someone should tell Noel and his oddball bro, Wonderwall has two chords, no?? As for havin a pop at those acts, they aint killing nobody, so let em alone to get on with it, get on This Morning to plug tha album pal

mmmtobby

Are you guys intelligent or what? Or have any sort of wit? He's taking the pee out of himself, Wonderwall is 4 chords here and there through out, with a capo. Its simple for a guitarist (all be it with a bit of a trick rhythm) he's saying why try and be fancy with other peoples tunes, go pick up your guitar and write your own tunes, if your so good Mr Ronson. Which by now, you'd be a solo selling rock god? Which you are not, its the only way he can earn money, and Noel is perfectly entitled to have a bitch at him. He's a overated musical failure! Unlike Noel Gallgher. Go Noel!!

plug 1 ,if oasis didnt vanish all the time he might not need to "dis" to get publicity. noel is a idiot.

Scouting for girls are one of the worst bands that I have ever heard. There songs are all the same and they all end with the singer shouting at the end of the track. He can't sing and whoever said he can must be deaf. I'd sooner listen to a road drill all day then listen to thhis annoying band. They should give up now and go back to their day jobs.
