What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and Oasis member Noel Gallagher
had a lot to say about about this generation’s musical artists in a new interview, which
caused a frenzy online and the hashtag #NoelGallagherIsOverParty to trend on Twitter.
A little tip for anyone coming for some of the biggest musical acts in the world, next
time, maybe just… don’t do it.
In a very shocking and slightly unnecessary interview on the “Matt Morgan’s Funny
How?”
podcast, former Oasis member Noel Gallagher shared his rather strong opinion on today’s
music artists, and didn’t hesitate to drop some of the biggest names while doing so.
So for those of you who might not be familiar with Oasis, or Noel, you might’ve heard
the wildly successful and catchy 1995 song “Wonderwall”, which is a classic staple
at any karaoke party, high school dance finale or perhaps your parents’ recent get together.
Now that we got that all squared away, Noel’s interview caused a lot of controversy among
some of today’s biggest fan bases.
Although actually admitting that artists like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran are some of the
biggest acts in the world, Noel mourned the loss of what he referred to as “proper rock
stars” saying QUOTE, “Music now is style over substance.
I find that these young ­people in the music game — they f–king look great, they’ve
all got tattoos and the image and all that f–king bollocks, but really they’re just
s–t.
They’re not saying anything.”
He continued on to say QUOTE, “The biggest-selling acts are s–t, whereas when I was growing
up, the biggest-selling acts were the best acts.
The biggest band in the world was usually the best band in the world.
Now the biggest thing in the world is f–king Taylor Swift.
What?
F–k off.”
OKAAAAYYY Noel, who hurt you?!
But when giving an example of “proper, flamboyant rock stars,” Noel went on to name David
Bowie, Freddie Mercury and T. Rex’s Marc Bolan, adding that that today’s artists
will “never be people like that because musicians will never make that kind of money
– and the ones that do, like Ed Sheeran, f–king whatever.”
Ok, for some of you, this might be the first time you’re hearing about Noel’s issues
with Taylor and Ed.
Some fans, on the other hand, are very aware of his disapproval toward them as this isn’t
the first time Noel has name dropped Taylor & Ed in an interview.
Back in 2017 during an interview with Stereogum, Noel claimed he didn’t personally know anyone
in his life who’s a fan of Taylor, just before admitting she QUOTE “could’ve made
her way into Oasis.”
As for Ed, who has covered “Wonderwall” in concert before, he claimed to be fully
aware that Noel doesn’t like his music, saying, “...but I get on with him as a person,
so why does it f–king matter?”
Noel then targeted Miley Cyrus after claiming that America is widely responsible for the
sexualization of female artists.
He specifically pin-pointed one example being Miley’s recent VMA performance of her new
song “Midnight Sky” where she performed on top of a giant disco/wrecking ball.
Noel then proceeded to diss Miley, saying QUOTE, “That god awful woman Miley Cyrus
was on and she was doing some f–king s– and even my nine-year-old said, ‘Why is
the cameraman just filming her legs?’”
Naturally, the Internet didn’t take any of his opinions well, including the fact that
he also refused to wear a mask while doing this podcast interview.
Fans got word of his comments toward Taylor, Ed and Miley to name a few, and quickly invited
Noel to his own #OverParty via Twitter.
One user wrote, “Stop being jealous of young artists of this generation and focus on turning
60 in a few years.”
Another person tweeted, “Um before attacking the ARTIST OF THE DECADE, think about your
career first, if you even have one.”
And also this fan who wrote, “Taylor Swift could do “Wonderwall” but Noel Gallagher
could not do “All Too Well.”
Besides, something tells us Taylor is far too busy celebrating the success of her album
Folklore to be concerned about Noel’s opinions.
To put it even more into perspective, Folklore recently topped the Billboard 200 chart for
the seventh week since its release two months ago, even breaking Whitney Houston’s record
for the most cumulative weeks at No. 1.
As for Ed, he and wife Cherry Seaborn just welcomed their daughter Lyra into the world
and most likely has his hands and heart full in the best way possible.
That said, let’s all go out and spread a little kindness today, yeah?!
