Noel Gallagher:

“Sorry, but Jay-Z? Fucking no chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music, do you know what I mean? Even when they throw the odd curveball in on a Sunday night and you go, Kylie Minogue? Don’t know about that.”

According to the BBC, Gallagher, whose band Oasis headlined the festival in 1995 and 2004, also said: “I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.”


Jay-Z’s response:

Winner: The Fans.

    I think I now fully understand the term “taking the piss”. Sweet.

    I never thought I’d say this, but I now love Jay-Z.

    This is manning up versus whining about nothing 101.

    I have to double what Alice said. Jay-Z is now my hero.

    Jay-Z was always my hero. Dude spits off the dome. He hasn’t written a line down since homework in English class.

    Color me confused. How is an off-key half-warbling of “Wonderwall” while not really playing the guitar you’re wearing in any way some kind of one-upsmanship of Noel Gallagher?

    In the UK do they call him Jay-Zed?

    Really, though, is sticking it to the Gallaghers what passes for heroism these days? If so, there are probably also some puppies available for kicking and cripples propped precariously close to flights of stairs.

    Oh, I don’t know…it seems to me that simply NOT being Noel Gallagher counts as one upping him.

    Glastonbury was a complete bag of bollocks this year. I mean, never mind Jay-Z, they let James Blunt in for fucks sake! Truly, rock and roll is dead.

    Noel Gallagher = Pete Doherty.

    Because it’s funny.

  13. 13 The Doc said at 2:02 pm on June 30th, 2008:

    Yeah, the off-key Wonderwall wailing was funny, but that version of 99 Problems was AWESOME. Oasis wishes they could rock that hard.

    One-upping Oasis starts with being able to tour the US without completely losing one’s shit.

    Got it! I did think it was funny, I just wasn’t sure if I was missing the true point.
