Oh oh! Noel Gallagher goes after Adele!

Classic Noel.

Sailing the seas of cheese-sums it up quite nicely dontcha think?

when he was younger he looked like a pretty tasty twink. i always imagined having a threesome with him and his brother or him and damon albarn. his filthy mouth would be perfect for sucking cock and his arse a UEFA champion for taking cock. Sadly his hard living had made him ugly. Damon Albarn is still looking not half bad.

He's right. Adele = Breathy simplistic and overly emotional yodeling aimed at romantic fraus who need a good cry. Bombast is not great art.

Noel used to seem like the saner of the two brothers, but his pathological need for attention is getting out of hand. I don't think even Elton bitched this much about other singers.

He's right. He might not be everyone's cup of tea but when he's being interviewed he's straight down the line and tells it like it is. I like that. He's also a very witty with a dry sense of humour. Much more so than his brother.

Yeah I'm sure Adele cares what some washed up rock star with one hit to their name thinks of her.

[quote] I just don’t see what all the fuss is about.

And there we have it.

Bitter, party of one.

Who the fuck is Noel Gallagher?

What R7 said.

[quote]his pathological need for attention is getting out of hand.

He isn't just randomly expressing his opinions though, he has been specifically asked about his opinion on Taylor Swift, Kanye, Beyonce, One Direction, etc.

[quote]no-one ever talks about my love of U2 and Coldplay

And don't forget Nickelback!

I love that these past-it white dudes in the UK (Phil Collins, Damon Albarn, Gallagher) are all butt-hurt because Adele is selling zillions of CDs and didn't want, or need, any of their music for her latest collection.

Noel who exactly?

I'm not crazy about Adele but her music is hell of a lot more compelling that stale, anodyne shite like fucking Coldplay.

R11, entertainment journalists ask him about other singers not because his opinion matters, but because he's made it known that he will pitch a fit and be bitchy, and that sells copy.

I'd accept this critique if it came from someone talented. Someone whose briefly popular music some time ago wasn't merely a very poor facsimile of the late 60s supergroups' album fillers.

Glass houses, Noel.

He's right in that music today is generally bland. But he's not creating anything better and Adele in a world where Taylor Swift exists is not the worst offender.

[quote] But he's not creating anything better and Adele in a world where Taylor Swift exists is not the worst offender.

Amen!

Completely agree with him. I'm mystified by her success.

Who the fuck cares about that has been? He still hasn't waxed that fucking unibrow and they haven't had a "hit" in what - 20 years or more? Yeah.

He's still mad his brother has always been the "hot one"

[quote] I'd accept this critique if it came from someone talented.

Pot/kettle. Your opinion is valid, but a famous musician's isn't?

It's a good thing you used quotes, R21.

R22. I wasn't questioning HIS right to have or express his views. I was exercising MY right to dismiss them as irrelevant, coming as they do from an artist I believe to be only moderately talented.

There is a big difference. Maybe if you have an adult nearby you could get them to help you with it.

He is a terrible singer, has zero charisma, how this dude was a rockstar?

You were questioning the validity of his opinion based on your perception of the level his musical talent. Pot/kettle, deary.

Is Adele even old enough to know who Noel Gallagher was?

He's right, of course.

What did he say about Susan Boyle?

Why are they always so interested in his opinion? Most of the time it will be negative. He's pretty predictable.

Coldplay????? Cheese with syrup.

Liam is where my pussy goes.

Once you use the term "butt hurt" you lose all credibility.

Always loved Noel, totally uninterested in his other brother. And he's right.

I like his comments. He calls it like he sees it I loved the comments he made about that awful Ed Sheeran and the absurd Kanye West.

Why the fuck would anyone ask Noel fucking Gallagher what he thinks about literally anything?

Ugh. I hate articles like this. They formulate them in a way to make it almost seem like Noel held a press conference to denounce Adele, when all that happened was, he, true to form, answered a question he was asked truthfully.

Good for him. Why does everyone need to bow to the alter of Adele. Some people don't like her music and think she's overrated.

Maybe he should write songs for her. Or is he irrelevant these days ?

No one outside of the UK cares about Oasis. Bland to the extreme.

Rip her to shreds

For everyone asking why he was even asked about her, as was already said upthread, it's because they know Noel will go off in some crazy way, and they love it because it sells copy.

And HE loves it because he gets attention, which he cannot get otherwise anymore.

While it's true that Oasis was never massive in the US, it's kind of hard to overstate how huge they were in the UK in their heyday. When Adele's 25 recently broke first-week sales records across the world, she beat the prior US first-week record, which was held by NSync and she beat the prior UK first-week record which was held, still, by Oasis.

Who is she? Who was she? Who does she hope to be?

Adele wishes she had a song as good as "Wonderwall".

Plus, he was one of the only people to criticize Gaga when everyone thought she was the best thing ever.

This quote from a previous, very similar DL thread about Noel Gallagher cannot be repeated often enough:

[quote]His brother is of an almost sub-human level of intelligence, having seemingly only primal instincts to eat, fight, shit and reproduce. In comparison, Noel's gobby "I tell it like it is, me" Northerner routine gets mistaken for penetrating insight and wit.

R3 Do you make long introductions about your filthy sex fantasies before making banal arguments IRL, too?

Who the hell id this guy? I've never heard of him before.

Another day, another scandalized media feud. Sells papers, gets clicks, gets people's attention.

Pop fans ended up preferring Adele to JC Cha-sex, R43? I'm disappointed. Truly this is Bizarro-world.

Noel , the Beatles wannabe. Failed.

Listen to Adele's Chasing Pavements performance on Letterman and then find any of her live performances of Hello. Her voice was so much stronger and more consistent back in the day. How people don't hear the inconsistency and weakness now and still go on and on about how she's the best thing ever is beyond me.

What a career he briefly had!

Oasis made good music.

It's nice that someone called him on the telephone. He appreciates the break in his busy schedule.

He probably posts on DL, one of those "daring" posters who act as if they are saying shocking things. He doesn't like Adele! He's the only one in the world brave enough to say this!!

Noel Gallagher is a talented musician. He has music writing chops and although he's not as talented in the lyrics department, he isn't bad there either.

Few bands will EVER rise to the success of an Oasis, so yes, he is absolutely qualified to offer his opinion on Adele, or any other musician/singer. It doesn't matter how long it's been since Oasis ruled the music world-he's reached a level only a very privileged few ever will and his entire adult life he's made a living in music.

The "who" comments come off as sad and out of touch, not witty or cute.

Has Peter York weighed in? How about Burt Bacharach?

[quote] Few bands will EVER rise to the success of an Oasis, so yes, he is absolutely qualified to offer his opinion on Adele, or any other musician/singer.

Okay, by dint of your (absolutely idiotic) logic, since my success has risen far, far, FAR beyond his, that means I am MUCH more qualified than he is to comment on myself and on him, and my opinion thus counts for far more than his.

So: I am a genius, and he is pure shit. Thanks a lot; cheers.

R60, who said Adele or someone similar to her WASN'T qualified to offer an opinion?

... ... ... I'll wait... ... ... Oh, that's right. NO ONE, you fucking idiot.

Oh boo hoo hooey hoo hoo! Someone mocked me!

Stop MOCKING me!

I'm telling!

Adele had a baby, had surgery on her cords and quit smoking in recent years R53, which altered her vocal character completely, and probably cost her confidence as well. Dw she's young, she'll get the magic back.

Amy will always be superior imo.

r48 are you a virgin?

He also hates Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift:

Her music is pretty boring and there are much better soul singers who have more versatility but don’t get the success/attention that she does.

Noel Gallagher is learning from Azealia Banks and Lily Allen that when you don't get any media attention for your music, just start slagging people off and you'll be talked about again.

He’s a piece of shit. He had a daughter that resulted from a brief relationship and took twenty years before bothering to meet with her.

Oh and britpop calls pop soul “cheese?” Now that’s a laugh.

I’m a woman and I can’t stand her music - it’s too fucking depressing and boring.

R68 Bitch, it's the other way around! They learnt that from HIM!

[Quote] Noel Gallagher is learning from Azealia Banks and Lily Allen that when you don't get any media attention for your music, just start slagging people off and you'll be talked about again.

Were you born yesterday? Noel Gallagher has been bitching since he got out the womb.

[Quote] Her music is pretty boring and there are much better soul singers who have more versatility but don’t get the success/attention that she does.

But she gets most attention from the public because her music hits the spot. (I'm not a fan.)

He isnt wrong there, but pop music is like that
