Artists: Oasis

Drummer Zak Starkey seems unlikely to play with Oasis again after a disagreement with founder-member guitarist Noel Gallagher.

The Sun reports that Starkey and Gallagher have been in a number of arguments of late, and that the former will not play at any forthcoming live dates. No official announcement has yet been made.

Oasis tour the US and Canada in the summer, with further dates expected to be confirmed soon. Check the stateside shows on MySpace.

I hear tell Starkey was in favour of playing music that sounded like it was made in this century, and in a place other than a small room above a pub.

Fisticuffs ensued.


I <3 you


"Hip-hop at Glastonbury? I'm not having that."

If I had to spend five minutes in a room with Noel Gallagher I think I'd lose it. Well done to Zak on lasting as long as he did.


Little James

The worst Beatle cover ever.


I heard...

he told Noel he prefreed drumming with The Who cos they were more 'cutting edge'.

*lie*


prefreed??

hmmm... i seem to have invented a word. well done me.


i hear

Tony McCarroll is on the cards lol


why dont they just get

Ringo in like they meant to in the first place? He's like the 1,323rd best drummer of all time man.


I listened to it.

Grudgingly. Utter shit. Does he actually sing, "I'm singing this song/for you and your mum and the dog"?


the lyrics in that song

are absolutely atrocious, even by Oasis standards


I want to be a care bear

Oh wouldn't it be so great if I was a care bear?

Give a shit, Oasis=Gallagher, It means nothing who the other three plums stood looking bored are on that stage.
