Former Oasis Frontman Slams Radiohead

(Newser) – Liam Gallagher may not be in Oasis any longer, but that doesn't mean he's done insulting his fellow musical artists. (Oasis, of course, was famous for claiming to be "bigger than the Beatles.") His target this time: Radiohead. "I heard that f***ing Radiohead record [The King Of Limbs, influenced by a 1,000-year-old tree] and I just go, 'What?!' I like to think that what we do, we do f***ing well," Gallagher, who now fronts a new band, tells The Quietus.

"Them writing a song about a f***ing tree? Give me a f***ing break! A thousand year old tree? Go f*** yourself! You’d have thought he’d have written a song about a modern tree or one that was planted last week. You know what I mean?"

None of these bands can top what Justin Bieber has done for music, he is a living legend that is reshaping what we thought music was supposed to sound like.

You know what, I really liked Mr. Gallagher's music along with Oasis, but dissing Radiohead and Thom Yorke, WTF is wrong with this douchebag. He even had the nerve of saying that a tree that was just planted is more inspirational than one that has lived over 1000 years. Is inspiration not founded on the history of existence and the prospects of the future? Whatever he's smoking he should just keep to himself, eat shit, and D**. There's a champagne supernova in his @$$!
