Here he goes again...:tsk: What a nutjob he is...


Noel Gallagher has told Bono to "shut the f**k up" about Africa.

The Oasis guitarist is sick of the U2 frontman campaigning to end
Third World debt in the continent, and insists Bono's fans don't want
to be constantly lectured by their idol.

Noel told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "With U2 it's like play
'One', shut the f**k up about Africa. People don't want to hear about
it all the time."

The outspoken songwriter has also blasted Radiohead frontman Thom
Yorke for brow-beating his fans with his political beliefs. He has
urged him to ditch his serious attitude to music and write a 'proper'
rock song.

He said: "Thom Yorke sat at a piano singing, 'This is f***ed up', for
half-an-hour. We all know that, Mr Yorke. Who wants to sing the news?
No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed',
at the end of the day people will always want to hear him play
'Creep'. Get over it."

Noel - who along with brother Liam and the rest of the band will
collect the prestigious Outstanding Contribution To Music award at
next week's BRITs - has no intention to stop writing hit songs.

The rocker - whose band has scored an incredible eight UK number
singles, including 'Lyla' and 'Don't Look Back In Anger' - added:
"Somehow I don't ever see myself on stage playing a mouth organ to 150
people on a Wednesday. Every time I write a song, I envisage them in
football stadiums with loads of people going f***ing mental - that's
Oasis."
 
same old story.....at the end of the day bono and noel are good friends.....

and both oasis and u2 are amazing bands...

Their greatest hits must not be selling well... :happy:

I honestly think he's manic or something, one minute he loves U2, the next he doesn’t... Make up your damn mind and stick with it! :mad:


exactly what I was thinking.. :yes:
 
I love Oasis and Noel, but he needs to shut the :censored: up himself :rolleyes:

That being said, you can't take anything he says too seriously. He's just a cheeky bastard :shrug:
 
its funny how these celebrities can agree on bashing eachother in public, just to increase their record sales, eh? its best to ignore this kind of bullshit.
 
I don't take Noel too seriously, so it's easy to laugh this off,but ...


... in my crankier moments, I tend to agree with him.

"Shut up and play One!"

:reject:

:wink:

The more I think about it the more I think this was probably Noel's attitude as well...

He was probably joking about it and of course the press picks it up and runs it as the truth... If only they could include this guy::wink: in the article...
 
Pure jealousy, Noel wished Oasis was as great as U2 is.
More tiring than Bono's speeches is Noel's big bad mouth. We're tired of you, and we already know you want to be a rock'n'roll star (but you're not).
He's the clown here, but the press always loves it.:|

noel actually sounds like a lot of u2 fans i know with that comment.

also, the article posted at the start of this thread is like a second hand rehash of an actual interview. the link below is to the full article that contains noel's quote - he says one line about u2, so it is not such a big deal, IMO.

It's all an act, anyway. Nobody cares.

definitely.

I feel the same way about the preaching DURING concerts. That's what he's talking about, he even says the same thing about Thom Yorke.
 
Well, Stop The Clocks is dropping down the charts so it'll get him the publicity his little band needs to keep their profile in the press:wink:

^^ and i was just passing along the actual interview it came from. in case anyone wanted to see it in its full context.

didn't mean to offend you ...


no offense taken. I thought this was the full article that I posted. Guess not..

Thanks tho.
 
They resurface every now & then in the UK, & usually promote their latest LP by slating every other band under the sun, to desperately get some attention!

This is exactly it. Noel just says this stuff to get headlines for U2 and Oasis. I'm sure he and Bono laugh about it when they hang out...
 
I'm sure the only place this is newsworthy is here and the maybe the Oasis forums.

I thought Liam was the official band arsehole.
 
I can't believe this place. I have to post cos I can not help it. But if Noel Gallagher had said "Bono, I love everything he does" you would all believe he said that BUT cos he slags Bono about always harping on about Africa it has to be bullshit. Yes Noel Gallagher says this and means it. And I for one agree with him. Noel Gallagher also didn't play at Live 8 saying at the time the whole thing was a waste of time, is that not a big clue to whether he means this latest statement. Course he fuc#ing does and I have to agree. So from me and Noel Gallagher, Bono....shut the fuc# up about Africa and Play ONE!
 
Noel's the man and the funniest man in rock.

He's just having fun with the press and messing with a friend (who doesn't?). Don't take him so seriously.
