Noel Gallagher Reveals His Top Ten Bands Of All Time… Who Oasis Have Ripped Off

I made the last part of the title up but Noel might as well have called his list that. It’s a brilliant top list of bands, but there are some glaring omissions, which makes me wonder how Noel can describe it as “THE DEFINITIVE Top 10″. In your opinion Noel, in your opinion.
Noel and his […]

Oasis’ Noel Gallagher Takes Pop At Winehouse, Ronson, Kaiser Chiefs & More

I’m sure I’m living in some kind of time bubble as I keep experiencing deja vu, again, and again, and again. Just yesterday I reported how Amy Winehouse had hit one of her fans, yes, another one. And now Noel Gallagher has taken a pop at some of his fellow British artists. Didn’t he do […]

Liam Gallagher Slags Off Radiohead, Coldplay Fans - Must Be New Album On Way

How strange, we don’t hear a peep out of Oasis or the Gallagher brothers for months, and then as soon as a new album is on the way, they can’t keep their mouths shut. Surely after 17 years of being in the band, you’d think the pair would know better than to create some cheap […]

Rolling Stones Leave EMI For Universal - Follow Radiohead, McCartney Out The Door

The members of the Rolling Stones may all be in their sixties, but they are still one of the most commercially-viable bands around at the moment. Which makes their defection from EMI to Universal a big blow to the former, and a massive boost to the latter.

Oasis’ Noel Gallagher Criticises Radiohead | ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ Will Not Be Free

Radiohead have received almost nothing but praise for challenging music industry standards when they released In Rainbows on to the Internet last year, and invited people to pay what they wanted for the privilege of downloading the album.
