My first post. I am a bit, not a huge oasis fan but the headline on todays rollingstone online really is too far. I feel compelled to bring this to oasis fans attention as it's defamatory.
The top story: PATRICIDE?
Oasis Blaspheme Themselves Before the Lords of Rock When the Gallaghers' new record went up against the Beatles' Love on the UK charts, the pressure made them go where we thought they wouldn’t dare
That's the headline but when you read the story is about how they don't like Love. Its not even by the Beatles so it just should not be credited to them, its a remix album by George Martin using Beatle recordings. Here it is:
I think oasis have a case here as there is no way they would slag off the Beatles as is implied here.
We’ve often said that there are no limits to who the Gallagher brothers will shit talk, but the thing is there’s REALLY no limit to who the Gallagher brothers will shit talk. The Beatles, and John Lennon in particular, have always been the obvious inspiration behind, um, everything Oasis has ever done. But when Oasis’ new record Stop the Clocks, a greatest hits package, went up against the Beatles’ Love on the UK charts, the pressure made the Gallaghers go places we thought even they wouldn’t dare.
“It’s a pointless exercise,” Noel Gallagher reportedly said about Love, adding that he shut the album off “after five songs.” Liam was more to the point. He called the tracks “rubbish.”
Um, brothers Gallagher? If you had a real record to pit against Love this might have been the right moment to point out that this “new” Beatles record is mostly just a collection of audio snippets woven together by Sir George Martin into something resembling a cohesive song that will inspire the bodily contortions of your average Cirque du Soleil-ist. But your record is a not-so-awesome collection of greatest hits you are releasing to fulfill your contract with your label. And you are not John Lennon. You aren’t even Pete Best or Jane Asher.
You have a non-record out. They have a non-record out. But they are the fucking Beatles, so they win. Get over it.

I don't care, I'm sure most oasis fans don't care, and I'm completely sure Noel and Liam don't give a fuck. it's RS, they praise Eminem and 50 cent, get Britney Spears on their covers, slammed Led Zep from day one and these days they just bang on about how great they were. they have no credibility at all, anyone who believes in waht RS have to say is should get shot. (well maybe not but should at least get over it)

lol I like the beatles and all but they are reaching the status of films like Gone With The Wind and Citizen Kane, i.e. everyone sits around saying how great and amazing they were but when was the last time you actually sat down and played the whole thing all the way through?

All the time. If you checked my Last.FM you'd see they are my #1 played artist. Their stuff never gets old to me. Particularly the White Album. Goddamn that album is good.

In addition, that "fake artwork" thing was not funny.

Rolling Stone are a joke. Classic example of how shit they are is they called that Lil Wayne dude a ''street poet'' and called his album ''Tha Carter 3'' a classic when his songs being good solely depend on how good the beat is that was made by somebody else.
Im a fan of Hip Hop aswell and shit like that is just embrassing and shows how clueless they are.
