OASIS guitarist Noel Gallagher has declared that his band is better than U2 and Coldplay.
And he insists the other bands know it. "They know that we s--- over them," Gallagher said yesterday on the eve of the British band's sold-out Festival Hall show.
"We've got two guitarists in our band. They've only got two between them. End of story.
"Me, Chris Martin (Coldplay) and Bono (U2) have a friendly rivalry. Not that we're in some celebrity club, but I do talk to them on a regular basis and they know we're the bollocks.
"They were on their hands and knees begging us to play Live8. It wasn't a big enough show for us."
Oasis has had a remarkable comeback this year. Next week its new album Don't Believe the Truth is set to be the band's third consecutive British No. 1 this year with the Noel and Liam Gallagher duet Let There Be Love.
"Coldplay and U2 haven't had three No. 1s in a row," Gallagher joked. "Coldplay haven't had any No. 1s in the UK, actually."
Gallagher scoffed at rumours he's feuding with brother Liam after an incident in Brisbane.
"It's bollocks," Gallagher said. "It's quite preposterous. Things are fine."
Gallagher is a fan of Australia. "I'd move here if it wasn't so far away. It's like America weather-wise, but it's not full of fat idiots," he said.
Oasis's final Melbourne show is at Festival Hall tonight.

"They were on their hands and knees begging us to play Live8. It wasn't a big enough show for us." LOL, this has to be the quote of the year! ;D But I am worried that Noel is getting ahead of himself when he says about 3 number 1's in a row...

Correction, Tycoon — that article contains TWO quotes of the year! The one about America being full of fat idiots was the other one. Ahh, Noel, trying to sweet talk his way back into the US market!
Though considering it's Noel, these might just be the quotes of the week. He always seems to be able to come up with another one.

My impersonation of the general American music audience: "How can Noel say that about us? And where's my Kelly Clarkson CD?"
I think it's safe to say that Noel is in a better mood then we were led to believe down under.

how can you say U2 are overated, go back and listen, anyband that realeses as many top quality albums as them, and puts on a show such as they do, deserves what they get, sorry but you cant argue with quality, poeple cant say that ONE isint one of the best songs ever, or that the first time you heard Beautiful day you werent like wow, they deserve were they are, because they never let themselve be in "in" thing, a fad, boy, unforgetable fire, josha tree, achtung baby, all you cant leave behind, over rated? fuck off

i think beautiful day was a masterpeice, made them rock stars again, takes a special song to bring a band back into the forfront after popmart, maybe overplaying killed it a bit, but i think its a fantastic song, i still remeber hearing it for the first time, the slow bit in the middles just magical, top tune, puts me in a good mood, and considering im a grumpy get, thats an acheivement
like if you dont like U2 fairenough, but you cant exactly call them crap, theyve played to enough people, and sold so many records for so long, theyre in that small group, were they cant be called shite

I love U2. I've seen them 5 times on their current Vertigo tour, but I think Beautiful Day is about the most overrated song ever.
