Gosh, I wonder if he has a new record to publicise?

Gosh, I wonder if he has a new record to publicise?

You mean...?


Oh, no!


Certainly never!


Nooo!


He'd never do such a pathetic publicity stunt to promote his work!


He's doing this stupid because it's just his nature. Can't blame him for that, now can we? A curse, but luckily an individual curse. Sad, but can't be helped.

I agree with stamper, it's just a bit of an amusing jab.

[stamper]

Well, maybe one day someone will write: 'Oasis have been has-beens to many audiences until their spectacular comeback with the groundbreaking 20-- album '[enter thingummy name]' and are mentioned today along the names of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.'




But I doubt it.

I don't think either the Beatles or Stones have made a good album in 20 years either People instead of turning this thread into a slagging of Oasis / Greengrass, why not adress the matter it raise, ie that for a long time, no Brit have composed the main theme for a Bond movie ?

You guys don't get it, Gallagher rants are to be expected about anything and everything, it's what make both brothers fun. I still have an old, sept 2001 issue of the NME where they say that David Beckham is sucking his girl cock, that Eminem is a ing baboon, and Moby a ing goon and mock Ben Laden as "Binliner". That's just one paragraph out of four pages of rant ! And it's way more entertaining than any interview from any current rock band anywhere going about themselves.

Exactly. I've always found Noel Gallagher the most entertaining interviewee in rock alongside Morrissey, and the latter has also had rather dodgy quality control of his albums in recent years, as well as being perceived (fairly or otherwise) as coming across like a BNP councillor with certain remarks to the music press.

However, Noel's recent interview form has been poor. In the current issue of Q, he says wistfully: "When I go and see U2, I just think, ' me, I wish we could do that, be that greatest show on earth.' And then I'd like to be in a band that seems to be as universally loved as Coldplay." Not exactly the Noel of old.

The same mag features a much more entertaining interview with Liam, in which he freely admits to not knowing what "inarticulate" means and the journalist suggests in apparent seriousness that he hire a private tutor to fill in the gaps in his education.

People instead of turning this thread into a slagging of Oasis...

stamper, please let me assure you, I don't slag/slam/whatever either Oasis or the Gallaghers. Noel Gallagher is perfectly able to do that himself. And regarding your question: if he feels up to the task of writing a Bond theme himself, then he's free to hand in his own attempt. After all, last time I looked, GB was still a free country. So it's actually his choice if he rather wants to produce a Bond theme or childish tabloid trash. At the moment he seems to prefer the latter.

[spynovelfan]

Would it have been more or less offensive if he had said, ""It's a p***take that the greatest British agent of all time has to be soundtracked by a bunch of [censored]ing Pakis"?

Why or why not?

Obviously the right answer is that both should be equally offensive.

No, I think your alternative is significantly more offensive, because 'Paki' is a racist term. I don't agree with Noel Gallagher, who is a loudmouthed man with very little song-writing talent, but his point was clearly that Bond is British and that Bond songs should therefore be written and performed by British bands. That's an absurd idea, of course, as has been pointed out: it not only fails to consider the many great songs that have already been performed by non-Brits, but the fact that the original producers of the films were American and Canadian, that they are distributed by an American company, and so on. Is it racist, though? Mildly, perhaps - more so if he'd said 'ing Yanks' though, surely. He thinks that the theme song of a film should reflectthe national identity of the main character. Miguided and stupid, yes - but I don't think it's really racist in the same way as the example you gave would have been.

[Zorin Industries]

Is this the new Spartacus syndrome when it comes to Bond songs? First everyone and Grace Jones were recording it, now everyone and probably Grace Jones will say they did better.

[stamper]

I agree with Noel, thought I'm not British, that the songs should be composed by british people. I mean, when was the last time Bond was played by an American ? Yes, go back in time

[Jim]

When Pierce Brosnan played him.

So by that sentiment we'd have no NOBODY DOES IT BETTER, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, LICENCE TO KILL, GOLDENEYE or YOU KNOW MY NAME.

[stamper]

Yeah probably... just for fun, here are some of the immortal quotes from the Gallagher bros taken by NME mag on sept 12, 2001, please send the childrens in their room :

About Moby : "that bald c--t wants to get a wig !"

About Michael Owen : "bland, faceless, fooking trainee police officer !"

David Beckam "Dozy c--t ! Fookin suck yer bird cock !"

Courtney Love : "she's a c--t !"

Robbie Williams "You fookin' goon !"

Eminem : "You fookin' knobhead !"

Strokes : "Fookin' posh c--ts !"

Ben Laden : "Fookin's islamic jihad fookin' whatsisname Binliner fella!"

Now, you know that their interviews are to be taken with a pinch of salt ! The "fook" are the way they talk, and the way it was printed, not me trying to get past the censorship on this board

[Loomis]

I think Gallagher's comments were tongue-in-cheek and he thought he was being funny. There doesn't seem to be any other evidence that he has anything against Americans, indeed I believe that in the past he's spoken enthusiastically of the United States, its people and its bands.

[DaveBond21]

Good old Noel. I think we should treasure his comments, as he's a character and comes out with some funny stuff.

He recently commented on being attacked by a "fan" on stage in Canada recently. When told that his assailant was 47 years old, he commented "And I thought I was the oldest person at our gigs!"

[stamper]

eheheh, priceless !

[Shadow Syndicate]

"people think [I'm] controversial for the answers [I] give to silly questions in interviews, but...I'm not thinking about insulting...people; I say what I genuinely feel is in my heart. My conscience is clean, d'you know what I mean? Y'know, I'm true to myself — everybody else."[

THIS...interview is insanely entertaining

[bond 16.05.72]

I heard the new Oasis single today, Noel says they are taking a new direction with this album.

The only new direction they took with this album is the route to the studio to record it.

Once again releasing the same old blueprint over and over again, the fact this band is still looked at as relevant is just a joke.

Blur may have lost out in the chart battle to Oasis but Albarns' creativity is ten fold, both Gorillaz & Good Bad and the Queen album show an artist with so much more to say, no wonder Noel seems so threatened.

Yes and he's gone back on never releasing a solo album as well, what a joke this guy is, that footage of him being attacked on stage is hliarious, so called hard men, now that is funny.

[Blofeld's Cat]

I actually agree with Noel on this. Poor choice for song.

[stamper]

What ? Falling Down is the best Oasis track since EVER ! This will be their own Rubber Soul / Revolver LP.

[Harry Fawkes]

I love the song!

[Safari Suit]

I like their new song, but it sounds like it could have come straight from Morning Glory. There is no progression evident from it. Whether or not that's a bad thing is a matter of opinion; personally I don't consider it the crime against music that many do.

[bond 16.05.72]

There is nothing wrong with people liking their music it's just people calling them fresh and exciting which gets me, even their best songs are rip offs, Cigarette & Alcohol is plainly TREX. If you like listening to a band covering other peoples songs under this veil be my guest.

They produced an energetic impressive debut then just proceeded to release the same album one after the other, Morning Glory is ok but is over produced and full of fillers, Be Here Now is utter garbage and anyone who's scared about what White has come up with should wonder what Gallagher senior would rip off to produce his effort.

I've seen people call White talentless on MI6, yes you don't like his music but White is far from talentless, infact he has more talent in his little finger than Noel has had in his whole career.

Yes maybe he's right a UK based artist should record the Theme but not feckin Oasis, Radiohead are one of the only British bands worthy of pulling off this feat, Johnny Greenwood's genius employed with his unique There Might be Blood score style meged with Yorke's distinctive voice and the rest of the band would produce something worth being proud of and I like Whites theme alot.

Not Quoasis!

What ? No Oasis album sounds the same ! What are you on about ? LOL

[bond 16.05.72]

What ? No Oasis album sounds the same ! What are you on about ? LOL

I don't know how many times I've heard that from Oasis fans, I used to work in the music retail business and with the exception of the new album I had to listen to all their albums over and over again.

I don't hear any progression at all, you can say what you like but they've been releasing pretty much the same sound all their career or ripping off someone elses music, everyone goes on about The Importance of Being Idle being a great song, yes one of the best Noel's written in ages but haven't you heard any Kinks before?

Mucky Fingers is a disgraceful Velvet Underground rip off, I'm waiting for My Man anyone?

Maybe your record collection is ltd and you don't have varied taste in bands but I'm happy with the genuine article rather than some covers band thats fooled the football mentality fans of the UK they are edgy and exciting.

Oasis suck big time and haven't been relevant for years.

[Loomis]

Most of that is true, bond 16.05.72, but Oasis are still - IMO, anyway - pretty decent. However, they're not and even at their peak never were The Beatles, The Stone Roses or (name a genuinely brilliant and influential group). Still, they can be good entertainment and Noel Gallagher has written a few genuinely fine songs - you can't take that away from 'em.
