So Noel is criticizing Dave Grohl for being friends with Liam basically. How's that different from Liam taking shots at Bono for being friends with Noel though??

I said on another post, I think Noel might have spent a little too much time on tour with u2. For whatever reason, he seems to think he's on u2 level in regards to album promotion and opinions... I really think that he believes his own bullshit or that someone is whispering in his ear.. he may have gotten away with some of that stuff during oasis but it's different times and fans are not responding like they use to... by that I mean, no one really wants to listen to him make absurd, obnoxious, unfunny comments. For example, his matthew mcconaughey Instagram posts that no one really cares about it or gets what he's trying to say. He seems so disconnected from his fan base and reality. Interesting vantage point. But then again, if he really understood U2, he'd have realized U2 is the darling of the press because they know how to do their politics. If Noel had learned something from Bono, he'd be über political when talking about the Foos or about QOTSA, telling the press he admires their accomplishments and so on. In fact, he'd probably be über political when talking about Liam, telling the press that, despite their irreconcilable differences, he's happy for his solo success and for the fans that enjoy his tunes. Noel clearly missed this class while with U2.

One word can be used to describe Liam: AUTHENTIC. That's what every human being should strive for, to be true to themselves and not buy into outside bullshit. Whether you dig Liam's no nonsense personality or not, and he's made stupid mistakes like we all have, but the man has been true to himself from the moment he first stepped into the public eye to now. I think that might be what is troubling some fans about Noel at the moment. He seems to have changed, so you're left wondering if he's being his authentic self. It seems like Liam's authenticity (and perhaps his greater accessibility such as replying to people on Twitter) is connecting him with the fan base far more effectively than Noel. I'm guessing Noel would say he doesn't give a shit but I'm not so sure. I look at Noel's interviews and while I understand his need to take a different creative direction, he doesn't have the same level of humour these days, he seems to be taking himself a bit too seriously sometimes. Let's hope the album is a big hit, at least in the UK, and perhaps it'll bring the humour back.

I find it amusing how so many people are so bothered that Noel is friends with Bono. I'm not a U2 fan by any means (I didn't even bother to stay for their set when Noel opened for them) but I couldn't care less if Noel is his friend or not, is his life.
Also very surprised how so many people in this forum rate Grohl so highly. I find him and his music incredibly boring.

IMO I don't think people are bothered about Noel's friendship with Bono, more that Noel chooses to bring it up in EVERY.SINGLE.INTERVIEW. What Noel finds interesting or admirable about Bono isn't very interesting to fans. As for Dave Grohl, I watched him at Glastonbury and thought he had physically morphed into Barry Gibb. His neck is fucking massive. Couldn't really see past that to evaluate the music.

Its how people come across and if you want to break it down like you have, Liam see's Dave from time to time and they get on, Noel seems enamoured with Bono.

The man just isn't my cup of tea any more, he really looks like someone who feels he's been accepted in to the Premier League since hanging around with Bono for a while. There were a few things he said in that conference when it looked like he was waiting for a laugh and there was nothing. He doesn't like people who write about the news, fuck me he's mates with Weller Basically I think his head has now pretty much disappeared up his backside. He used to say a lot of these things with some wit, humour and a charm but those things seem to have disappeared and he just comes across like a cock and unlikeable. In my opinion anyway... That's what I'm getting. Some of the things he's saying are no different to things he said before, like in the conference when he refers to Holy Mountain hardly taking any time to write because 'that's how good I am'. And you can see he's looking for a reaction. Before somehow he could say things like that with some cheeky charm and it didn't sound too cockish. But now it does. And he is generally less funny and interesting. No idea what happened, but hanging round with Bono can't be good for anyone. Shame, but never mind, I still like the music.

I don't think he's necessarily changed, I think his fan base has grown up. What was once funny as a no-fuck teenager /twentysomething is now seen as conceded, sanctimonious, and disconnected 50something. I'd have the same opinion if Liam pulled the 90s/2000 bullshit, which is why I wasn't a huge LG fan back then. And yes, he has many immature moments but there moments that I can relate to even as an adult. Basically, Noel has become boring.

Criticising people dying their hair. I guess Johnny Marr's jet black locks are perfectly natural then. Marr looks like he wears a wig...either that or he's had some hair plugs done.

So rkid is jelous of Dave? What a child. He is bigger than Noel, a better musican and not a sellout. He and Liam are still making Rock 🤘 Just go on a play your scissors while you get desfranchaized of all your base. Im an Oasis fan and a Foo Fighters fan. Can believe how much noel gets to annoy me every week. Liam Gallagher is really rock music. Maybe soft rock

It's weird how Noel's personality has taken such a dive over this past year. I used to look forward to listening to his interviews because he would usually have a few witty comments and funny anecdotes but as of late I just find him irritating.

Can believe how much noel gets to annoy me every week. Man, have you actually heard Liam's album? It recreates the sound of Oasis in WTSMG, specially the BALLADS of that album. Which is obviously a smart move, because those are the songs that are still in the charts 20 years after. Sometimes they go too far ( Paper Crown and FWIW is basically Liam Gallagher singing Robbie Williams songs), but for the most part, it works great and I have listened to most of the album one zillion times since it came out. But the relationship with Foo Fighters (don't even talk about QOTSA) is nil. Not that that is a bad thing: I could not care less about "rock authenticity"

So he's slating Dave Grohl now despite DG being nothing less than effusive in praise of Noel. Presumably because he has played with Liam recently. Sure Liam has slated Bono, but I thought Noel was supposed to be the grown up here. They are both exactly the same. He didn't slate DG though ffs Literally 10 minutes after his initial comment he says he likes the FF. Fgs, the Foos do just shout a lot, he isn't wrong. They don't exactly specialise in acoustic ballads do they?

You're probably too smart to understand that kind of music. I'm sorry for you. NG can say what he wants but the Foo fighters and Dave have a massive fan base... They do. They're a huge band. Personally, I'm not into them. I do think a lot of their songs sound the same and it is a lot of 'noise'. Some of their tunes are great and 'Learn To Fly' is one of my favourites from growing up. Their documentaries are awesome. But Noel didn't slag them off. He has said countless times he has no issue with the FF. He's just saying that their music is very 'shouty' which it is. And Green Day's music is very political, which it is. They're facts ffs.

Because Noel is suposed to be the grown up, at least that's the role he always asumes in interviews. He portraits Liam as an angry silly man while Noel himself is proving to be exactly that at the moment.
