Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasis
Stir the shit, stir the shit...
Some bands what were dissed somewhat by ol' big-maaaf Liam Gallagher in the New Musical Express t'other week 'ave hit back at the band what panned 'em, sayin' all kinds of potty-mouthed shite.
The Kaiser Chiefs ("a bad Blur"), The Paddingtons ("fucking awful") and Keane ("twats") all suffered the wrath of Gallagher junior, and had the following to say in their defence:
Ricky Wilson, Kaiser Chiefs (pictured, avec stoopid dogs): "He had a go at me for wearing make-up. I only wore it to look more like him."
Tim Rice-Oxley, Keane: "Noel's a cunt. He was in a band that was very brilliant in the mid-'90s but now they're just not important any more."
Josh Hubbard, The Paddingtons: "Noel's a genius but what does his fat, toothless vocalist know about youth culture?"
DiS says what a bunch of hot-aired bollocks. Bovvvered...

I do like Keane's music but normally find them really boring interviewees. So a big thumbs up to Tim for getting to the point like that...

Noel has since responded, thusly:
"Keane, until they get a guitarist... It's actually quite heart warming that we've brought them down to our level, he called me a cunt in the papers. I find it very amusing, his mum and dad will be waiting for him to get home and cane him when he gets in. He'll be phoning up saying 'I say, I think I've had it out in the press with the Gallagher brothers, sorry pater, I may have said the C-word'."
"I don't mind the Kaiser Chiefs, Liam doesn't mind the Kaiser Chiefs, I've met them and they're fucking good lads. Liam's just talking out of his arse. Boys in make-up don't sit well with Liam. I mean he doesn't like Franz Ferdinand because they wear winklepickers, if you don't like a band because of their shoes it's bad that, isn't it, you know what I mean?"

Yes but what do the hired hands say..........
Gem Archer: "I was in a turd Creation band from the mid 90s that not even my parents gave a tinker's cuss for and guess what - I am again!"
Andy Bell: "I was in late 80s band who were looked up to and are now being cited as influential, and erm, now I'm in Oasis"

You just made those quotes up. I can tell. They're really dull and unfunny.

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
I love it when schmindie types desperately try to claim Oasis are irrelevant. It's been going on for about ten years now. It usually precedes Oasis going straight to No.1 and selling out Wembley Stadium five times over. Meanwhile the highly relevant likes of Hope Of The States continue to play the Hope & Gooseberry to three men and a hamster.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
I'm buzzing. I've just discovered a brilliant new fabric conditioner that leaves my towels feeling dead soft and fluffy.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Commercially Oasis are relevent.
Musically they haven't been relevent for 10 years.

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
I trusted them and went to one of their last two Wembley Stadium gigs in 2000. If you went to the second one (or saw it on Sky) you'll know just how badly they had let down people who made the effort. Haven't seen them since.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Oasis will remain relevant as long as people enjoy singing their cocks and fannys off to rock'n'roll pop tunes.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Fucking brilliant gig that one. Liam was off his face. He was in the middle of a messy break-up with Patsy Kensit and had been up all night getting twatted. To say he was in a bit of a mood would be an understatement.
That's what I want from a rock'n'roll star. Fuck professionalism, I want someone with the balls to call Wembley Stadium a dump and everyone in it a buch of cockney cunts. That's what seperates Liam and Oasis from the likes of Bono and U2.

I was gonna divulge the brand but I won't bother now. You don't deserve to have fluffy towels.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasis
seconded.
wtf? i'm agreeing with YOU?

you do realise you're the only person on here to defend oasis to EVERY SINGLE FUCKING POST? you bore us.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
"U2 are a million times more relevant and will be around a million times longer than U2. "
Errrm, how does this work? How can U2 be around longer than U2? Is Bono actually magic as opposed to just thinknig he is?

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Pull the other one. Bono's a professional rock star. He schmoozes and asrelicks with music industry executives to keep his career going. Every move he makes is calculated; every rock star pose measured to the nearest millimetre. Liam's an instinctive rock'n'roll star. He pisses people off. He says what he really thinks about 'em. He acts from the heart, not the manual. I know which type I prefer.
Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasis
They're like children. Bickering about eachother is really immature if you think about it. I think the bands Oasis rip should just laugh it off, that really would make Liam look like an arse. Seriously, 'Noel's a cunt.'... I hope Franz Ferdinand don't do the same...
Then again, it was funny when Tim Westwood said they look 'a touch gay', and they replied, 'He sounds a touch white.'

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
I don't get it; earlier you said
"Oasis will remain relevant as long as people enjoy singing their cocks and fannys off to rock'n'roll pop tunes."
and yet you say U2 aren't nearly as relevant as Oasis. There's just as many, in fact shit loads more people around the globe that enjoy "singing their cocks and fannys off " to U2 than to Oasis. So by your logic, U2 are better.

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
I never said anything of the sort. I implied that Hope Of The States aren't as relevant as Oasis, not U2. My comments about U2 were regarding professionalism, not relevance.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Yes you did. Look further up the post list; its about 10 past 2 i think. I copied and pasted.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Liam recently took his son Gene to the premiere of Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie. That's says more to me about the man he is than any holier-than-thou insults you can throw at him.
As for Bono supposedly having the most power in music, who gives a flying fuck? As if Q magazine have any idea what they're talking about anyway. Q are to music what Razzle is to fine art. If Bono has power in the music industry it's precisely because he's sucked corporate cock to get there.

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
I'm not denying I said what you copied and pasted. I'm denying that I ever said: "U2 aren't nearly as relevant as Oasis" which is what you said I said.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Yeah fair point. But it would appear you judge relevance by amount of fans singing along, ergo U2 would then be better than Oasis.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
I've never judged a band on relevance. It's a spurious term that's impossible to prove either way. I just don't see how Oasis can be deemed irrelevant by someone who openly rates Hope Of The States. When HOTS enter the national consciousness the way Oasis have, then I might take him or her seriously. Until then, stop using words you clearly don't understand.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
You like Muse.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
You shouldn't use fabric softener on towells. They lose their roughness, and that's what dries you.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
This domestic violence thing. You got evidence of that?
I don't believe in God. I believe in rock'n'roll. And Bono is about as rock'n'roll as Tony Blair. In fact, he's the Tony Blair of rock'n'roll.

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
That roughness is also what irritates my back and brings me out in a rash. I'm not saying fabric softener is the solution to all the world's ills, towel-related or otherwise, but it stops me getting a sore back and I'd much rather have a slightly damp back than a bloody sore one.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Dunno, dampness could lead to a rash, and then you'd still have a sore back.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
The term "cliché alert" (with or without an exclamation mark) was officially deemed a cliché by the Cliché Administration Council (CAC) in September 1978 after they viewed a preview tape of an unaired episode of Happy Days in which Charles 'Chachi' Arcola used the phrase to diss Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli's leather jacket and shades ensemble as a crass cultural stereotpye of what fifties rockers were supposed to where. The phrase was subsequently removed from the final cut and was never aired on television. Since then, anyone who has used the term "cliché alert" has been laughed at by everyone from Bob Carolgees to incontinent viewers of 15 To 1.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Oh, and I take it you're getting back to me on that domestic violence accusation.
Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasis
pfff, dont be stupid, keane don't know how to swear.
honestly.

Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasis
what exactly do the Paddingtons know about youth culture?
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
My tone suggests nothing of the sort. You're talking bollocks. You're also spreading unsubstantiated 'facts' about Liam Gallagher which are seemingly based on nothing more than idle gossip in some tabloid rag.
As it happens, there are things Liam has done in the past that I don't particularly agree with, but nothing that John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Bob Marley haven't done before. Should I stop liking them too?

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
You like Muse and dislike The Smiths. You're making this too easy.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasis
this thread is so depressing. talking about rock and roll, and oasis in the same sentence. how ridiculous. Glory mate, are you by any chance from portsmouth?
Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasis
jesus.talk about depressing.we're talking about the paddingtons, glory, oasis AND rock and roll.
Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
Adding the phrases "to be fair" and "in fairness" to the end of sentences does not automatically make them sound more reasonable.
Nice try, though.

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
To be fair to Ricky his reponse was badly edited. What he actually said was...
"I was chuffed to bits. To even occupy space in Liam's mind so he'd open his mouth about us is a compliment. He had a go at me for wearing make-up, but the only reason I ever wore make-up was to look like him. It's hard to get that dark, swarthy look in your eyes when you're a ginger."

Re: Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasi
That could work, yes. Or 'it could be argued', or 'in my opinion'.
Band bitchin' - Kaisers et al hit back at Oasis
That Russell guy from Bloc Party isn't one to really talk, whilst their music is good in places, they are a bunch of faceless twats (Kele apart)
Case in point: Before I went with a couple of mates to see them at the NME awards tour I went to get their single signed, apart form Kele the other three didn't even look at us or show any appreciation for the fans who had bought their single (which was utter shite by the way).
Keane are also quite possibly the most soulless, bland 'band' that i have ever had to listen to, so Noel is spot on here.
I'm not the biggest Oasis fan, but I know that they will be around for a lot longer than any of these new bands who will be gone and forgotten about within the next five years
