Noel Don't Feel Like Dancin'
This will come as a surprise to all of about none of you: Noel Gallagher's got an opinion! And not just about the environment, either. Believe it or not, he abhors another band:
SPIN: What do you currently hate?
NOEL GALLAGHER: I particularly loathe Scissor Sisters. I like "Laura," from the first record, but it's music for squares, man. They're huge in England, but there's no accounting for bad taste as far as the English are concerned.
This coming from the bloke who thinks Kasabian made the best album of the year.
Also, "music for squares"?! Judges? Can a lame jab be made into an effective insult simply by appending "man," man?

Er, why have you got a picture of Liam up, instead of Noel?

The juxtaposition of those two photos makes it look like Noel is checking out Jake's nipples, while Jake appears to be utterly horrified of Noel's unibrow.

That's Noel's profile. (Remember, Noel is the older one that plays the guitar and writes the songs and no longer does coke, Liam is the younger one that wears sunglasses and still does coke.)

hey, I'll take Oasis over the fucking Scissor Sisters any day of the year! someday you guys will come to your senses about Oasis - it's cool to hate 'em now, but they were an originally brilliant rock band whose first two albums defined mid-1990s music in England, the songs on which (plus a bunch of EXCELLENT b-sides in that era) still sound as good today as the weeks they were released - in time, Oasis will be considered utterly classic alongside the Kinks, Smiths, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, and similar legendary English bands of the past 40 years.

Noel is a fucking genius. The Scissor Sisters are a joke. Give me a break. Kasabian's album wasn't earth shattering, but prodigiously better than the fruity fluff you idiots are always on about. Give me a break people. Get over it. Move to Omaha and masturbate to eco-friendly posters of Bright Eyes and the rest of that sappy lot. I'll take a Beatles rip off any day over some whinny faggot who didn’t get enough time on his mommies tit.

Noel probably hates the Scissor Sisters because they're so derivative of classic rock.

I tend to agree about The Scissor Sisters...
At least Oasis rip off a good band ( The Beatles)

the funny part about the omaha bit is that 95% of omahans could care less about Bright Eyes. We sell out Hinder concerts though...
Score = 0
What does Omaha and Bright Eyes have to do with Scissor Sisters? Scissor Sisters are gender-bending dance/disco/funk from New York City and Bright Eyes is political folk-rock from Nebraska - I'm not seeing a connection.
Anyway, Oasis does have one (two if you stretch) good albums, but I'd say they're pretty irrelevant when it comes to contemporary music, and I don't think Noel has much expertise or credentials when it comes to American dance music, so I'm not sure why he's spouting off and why anyone is bothering to listen.

Ah, so now Oasis occupies the fabled spot once home to the likes of coke rap and Dolly Parton - the spot for the particular flavor that every hipster in the world thinks that only he can truly appreciate and defend from the Bright Eyes-loving strawpeople. Keep those Oasis-defending comments coming, if that's what makes you feel good about yourselves.

What would a U.S. parallel be? Pearl Jam (2 early 90s solid albums, followed by diminishing returns) attacking the Darkness (across the pond party-boys)?
Elton, Boy George, and the Gallagher Brothers should be forced into Thunderdome. Four whiners enter, one whiner leave.

"Noel is a fucking genius. The Scissor Sisters are a joke."
that about sums it up. The guy from SS already has a spot reserved for him on a future VH1 episode of "Remember the '00s--2006". At that time he'll be working as a substitute teacher while Noel continues to rake in royalties and sell out concerts everywhere.
And I'm not sure why it's such a big deal or news for him to rip other bands, I'd say that every music listener in the world does that. Other musicians do it all the time. He's entitled to his opinion. Liam's various feuds(including those with Noel) are entertaining though.

I love Oasis, and I love the Scissor Sisters. I dont care if one likes the other, its irrelevant. but i learned a long time ago not to pay much mind to anything Noel says.
he can be very amusing, but not every little barb he makes is remotely newsworthy.

And when did "music for squares" become a bad thing? Oh, my whole world view is being shattered right in front of my eyes.

The connection is simple. Bright Eyes sucks and Scissor Sisters suck. Moreover, what I was really trying to get at is Stereogum thinks they have their finger on the pulse of what’s "hip". I was suggesting that perhaps they don't know their asses from a hole in the ground. Instead of Omaha, perhaps they should just take over Brooklyn. As opposed to masturbating to Conor, they could dance like Gary Numan to some lame ass Ratatat remix.

to put it simply: there is no possible way noel's comments are more obnoxious than the scissor sister's wardrobe.

NOEL GALLAGHER is convinced LIVE 8 will never achieve its lofty aim of persuading politicians from the world's richest countries to eliminate debt owed by poorer nations.
The outspoken OASIS guitarist believes rock stars simply don't have the influence needed to affect the G8 decision makers - and believes all their hard work will be in vain.
He says, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but are they hoping that one of these guys from the G8 is on a quick 15 minute break at Gleneagles (in Scotland) and sees ANNIE LENNOX singing SWEET DREAMS and thinks, 'F**k me, she might have a point there, you know?'
"KEANE doing SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW and some Japanese businessman going, 'Aw, look at him... we should really f**king drop that debt, you know.'

I never liked Oasis, so I feel particular joy when one of them (I am not gonna differentiate, since they share a brain among them) creams himself over music I also dislike like Kasabian, and disses music I like like Scissor Sisters. If it were any other way I'd start second-guessing my own taste.

Hostile commenting, it's beautiful...
I've seen both bands live...no comparison. Scissor Sisters are full of shit, everyone can see that. Oasis have written some of the greatest songs in history, that's already in the books.
Bright Eyes is really bad, although I respect his effort...definitely never want to hear the Dylan comparison again.

noel is right on, i hate that fucking band as well. i'm going to have to side with the greatest song writer of the 90's on this one. even if he does like the new kasabian record.

Checkit, am I supposed to be stunned that Noel doesn't like Scissor Sisters? I mean, he's not a girl or gay (not that there's owt wrong with that) so I should be more stunned if he thought they were OK.

The fact is that if your looking for short lived poppy and catchy music, than look no further than the Scissor Sisters because they actually are great when thats what you wanna listen to. In fact they're one of the best in that field of music. However, in the long run, Oasis is the definition of real rock and roll, and it will never, never, get old. For those of you who hate on oasis for sounding to much like the Beatles, you can all get fucked. Just because the majority of the Beatles are dead now, doesn't mean Oasis who idolizes them can't make songs of a similar sound, and apply it to a new generation. Its not Liam's fucking fault his voice sounds like John Lennon's. All said and done Oasis defined the voice of a generation and did it better than anyone since The Beatles. As for all you haters, get your fucking head out of your ass and trying developing a half decent taste in music. You are a fucking argumentative bitch if you try and argue with the above statement, simply because it is about as close to the "facts" as one can get. Sorry for the essay.

Well said and done. Scissor Sisters sound like a fuckin piano stuck in a guys head and I dont see how the hell people like it. Oasis are maybe more straight forward and mainstream but at least their somewhat original sound sounds like music and not some weird guy ranting on about how he doesnt feel about dancing. btw i dont think Oasis are as much a beatles rip as everyone says. Sure songs like Go Let It Out and She's Electric sound a bit like beatles but Oasis are way more guitar oriented than the beatles. Oasis just pick up bits from other bands songs but most of the time change the riff enough (not on cigarettes and alcohol shakermaker and for those who know their oasis, half the world away). Oasis were liked because they brought knew life to rock n roll and added a poppy sound to it but lately these fucking indie lovers have complained about crap. For all indie people i think they should listen to a few oasis hits a few times and learn just how frickin good they are. Sorry for the essay too
