Wednesday 3-Sep-2008 2:37 PM Guitar Hero better than "somebody getting their f***ing head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f****d by a goblin up the arse with a laser"
Oasis man Noel Gallagher has been speaking to MusicRadar about his upcoming album and he touched upon the Guitar Hero phenomenon, giving us the best quote of the week.
Speaking about Guitar Hero he said, "If it puts little plastic guitars into kids' hands and fires their imaginations, I think that's a good thing. It's harmless fun, innit."
Then he said, "I'd rather that genre of videogames than somebody getting their f***ing head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f****d by a goblin up the arse with a laser. Do you know what I mean?"
Not really Noel. Well, kind of but we don't know what games you've been playing. We'll ask him next time we walk past him in the street or he's in the pub up the road from the office (true story).
Gallagher has previously said games desensitise kids from crime: "People say it's through violent video games and I guess that's got something to do with it. If kids are sitting up all night smoking super skunk and they become so desensitised to crime because they're playing these video games, it's really, really scary."
I want him to suffer for making people think that being stupid is cool. The goblin or one of the super skunk smoking, desensitised to crime kids visiting him would be nice.
Guitar Hero better than "somebody getting their f***ing head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f****d by a goblin up the bottom with a laser"
Noel Gallagher is a w****r,its non-gamers and alcohol abusers who cause the vast majority of violent acts on our streets! Gamers tend to spend most of their time at home or at a mates house,online, chatting with friends away from the idiots who cause damage on the streets and the good reps of young people ruining it for all of us. Good luck with the new album,your gonna need it when its going for £1.99 in Woolies in a few weeks!!
Then he said, "I'd rather that genre of videogames than somebody getting their f***ing head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f****d by a goblin up the bottom with a laser. Do you know what I mean?"
Noel ... you got a +1 respect from me when you did "That's Entertainment" unplugged with Paul Weller ... but you get a -1 for that CRAZY remark lol.
Noel G. said:

News flash - he's a t**t. Always has been, always will be.
He's just doing this because he's realised that nobody cares about the band any more and they need the publicity.
So I'm sure the UK Arena tour Oasis have just sold out means that Noel Gallagher really needs to get some publicity talking about computer games.
I really think he is going to be crying himself to sleep in his Primrose Hill mansion this evening because you said that. That 'inbred' surely doesn't have the brains to have earnt the millions he has, must have just been a fluke eh?
Why all the abuse towards Noel? The guy is a living legend and where is he saying "dont do this" and " don't do that"? He's praising a genre which can get kids into music and he'd prefer that genre to goblin bottom f**kers or something. And with regards to drugs I think he knows a little bit more than you and I from his own experiences and its a well known fact that strong skunk if smoked a lot CAN cause paranoia, shizophrenia and psychosis which does desensitize you. A lot of bands would kill for a back catalogue of songs that are half a as good as Oasis'

Ooh look, an Oasis fan who can type! Impressive. I mean he must've trimmed his monkey mono-brow to see the keyboard, but you know, Very good for a Neanderthal.
Sorry, a bit rude but I can't stand those idiots or their s**tty music.

Rude? I'd say a little more prejudice, are you the type of person who burns crosses on peoples lawns?
I'd like to see all the people here who call Noel talentless try and write a song that defines a generation, or even pick up an instrument and play something meaningful instead of disparaging a band that have sold millions just because they think it is cool to do so.
And you do realise Trent Reznor is an Oasis fan don't you?

I pride myself on being an encyclopaedia of NIN-related trivia. Where has Trent said that???
ive smoked high grade weed everyday for 14 years and played some of the most violent games around and watched hundreds of horror flicks and ive never felt the need to go out and hurt people or cause mayhem. i dont get paranoid nor am i schizophrenic. im a just an average chilled out peaceful kinda guy who loves gaming and who thinks noel gallagher should quit while he's behind.

I think what he means is Trent Reznor is a huge Beatles fan, and since Oasis are like a really bad Beatles cover band...

No that is not what I meant at all, and Oasis, though obviously infulenced by, are nothing like the Beatles (except the shameful All Around The World) as the Beatles were much better writers and composers of songs.
Reznor claimed to be quite a fan of Definately Maybe and proceeding works in a Rolling Stone interview some time ago, I also heard him say it on stage a few years back at Glastonbury, though I may have imahined that having been wrecked.
Lars Ulrich is definately and Oasis fan though.
Anyway, my point was that though it is very easy to knock Oasis, you cannot argue that one of their albums was a masterpiece, and though not all of them are up to a high standard they're (note correct word Steve W) all containing at least one classic song. Well if you're into that style of music anyway.
Rude? I'd say a little more prejudice, are you the type of person who burns crosses on peoples lawns?
No, that's what racists do. I just hate a band that, at least in their early days, endorsed aggressive behavior and talked like thugs. A band that talk with the presumed authority of the worlds greatest musicians, but who are loved only in one country and then only by a loyal, yet not expanding fanbase.

Actually what you did was take your hate and then use it to form a stereotype which you then threw in the face of a fan of that band, and your stereotypical view on Oasis fans was formed through your prejudice against the band.
Hating the band is all very fine, musical taste is expressive and everyone is entitled to their opinions, though it’s pretty reprehensible when you attempt to pigeon hole all fans of a bands music into one very ill informed view.
What you did would be exactly the same as If I were to say everyone on gaming forums is a bespectacled geek who was bullied at school and has probably only touched the breast of a woman when they were milk fed by their mothers. Hate the band fine, don’t hate the fans!
And if you’re in a band and you don’t think you’re great, what would be the point of you being in a band?
I've never really been a big fan of oasis. I'm not going to insult the man's intelligence, mainly because it would be impossible to do so cos for something to be insulted it has to...well...existed.
But i do agree with the previous comment about Gamers not bein involved in crime. It's absolutely true. Most gamers keep to themselves or with other gamers. We're not all socialites and we're certainly not criminals. Well at least I hope not.
Well, I don't really see this as being a big deal - he's basically just saying that it's better that little kids are playing stuff like GH rather than violent games. He's not complaining about people playing games or anything, just that it's a good thing they're taking an interest in music, etc.
*Sings* All my people right here, right nowwww *say quickly* getting their f***ing head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f****d by a goblin up the bottom with a laser,*sing again* know what I meaannnn? Yeah, yeaaaahhhhhh!!!!
Badgerpog, I'd be inclined to send some abuse back your way but that would be too easy and I'm a bit too grown up for that now. Regardless of me being an Oasis fan I can't exactly see where Noel has said anything out of order and with regards to their thuggish ways I'm sure all of us here would behave like angels if we happened upon fame and fortune and being part of the biggest band in the world wouldn't we?
