hehehe someone has anger issues i mean its him versus millions of guitar hero loving gamers. Whos gonna win? | |
Comment from my bro: "Tell them to leave off the charlie and write some of their own songs instead of ripping off [John] Lennon for a change." | |
Thats a very good point | |
Wow, I guess he never found his wonderwall =p | |
Gears of War 3 ^ | |
Is this the same Noel Gallacher who used to boast about his lack of proficiency? Odd. | |
Wow, Oasis dude. You say that to little kids? | |
That's exactly what I thought while reading this. Also, I couldn't stop laughing over this.
| |
Yh i mean of couse a guitar isint gonna be a game but what about the kids who want to pretend to be rockstars on guitar hero or rock band i mean we cant all be mick thompson can we? | |
This always makes me sad. Guitar hero will never replace real music, and kids who play it are just too untalented to play a real guitar. I know because I'm one of them. I played plenty of other instruments and the guitar is one that I couldn't handle, but this game, I can handle. Not only that, but for those with any creative desires, a game where you have no control over the notes (with the exception of some drum fills) will always leave you wanting more, and that is the one thing Guitar Hero and Rock Band lack: a real creative outlet. Even the World Tour thing is going to be too restrictive for someone who really wants to create. And isn't that what music's all about? | |
And, ultimately, better than whatever other crazy stuff the kids might be into these days. "I'd rather that genre of videogames than somebody getting their f**king head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f***ked by a goblin up the arse with a laser," he said. "Do you know what I mean?" No, not really. But that sounds pretty awesome. Can somebody get me the title of that game? I want to play in a bad, bad way. | |
I agree with him. Guitar Hero is pants. Rock Band is the wave of the future. | |
they`re both brilliant you fricking dumbass guitar hero has more experiance on it geez theyre both good to play but guitar hero still has a few tricks like guitar hero metallica if they keep it for good bands they`ll do fricking great! | |
What game is that? It sounds awesome. Gimme, gimme, gimme :D. Lol, kidding. He needs to get off his high horse and try playing some games himself once in a while. However, I can't fault his music (partly since they're not bad and partly because if I say anything bad about Oasis my flatmate will kill me...). | |
haha yeah funny story guitar hero is what actually made me go out and by my own guitar and and amp. 3 months later ive memorized many cords and know how to play 8 full songs. All thanks to guitar hero inspiring to get off my ass and get the real thing. So he's actually kinda right about the second part. | |
man noel is pretty full of himself with the mark ronson and jay-z dissing and know guitar hero what a complete twat he thinks he can criticize things when hes never even made a half credible song, the day he comes up with a good song is the day he can bitch about thing to the public... asshole | |
I can understand where he is coming from but I don't think he should be so upset. He should look at it more of a "I'm better than you." kind of way. I play the guitar and I can't tell you how many times I've played it at my youth group and people would ask me questions like, "Can you Cliffs of Dover?" To which I replied, "No I'm not Eric Johnson, I'm practicing my chords." And the guy said (and I kid you not) "Pfff. Fag, get good bitch." Which was bad enough but it didn't bother me until he kicked my guitar and scratched it so I was angry. I went over to his little group of friends playing Guitar Hero III and the kid just failed a song. I said to him "Pfff. Fag, get good bitch." and grabbed the controller and smashed it into the wall and broke it. And I was kicked out of Youth Group for it but oh well. | |
This would be like if marines started telling people that real combat isn't like Halo 3...all but the severely stupid would offer up a sarcastic 'Oh, really?' | |
could`nt he have just kept these things to himself? | |
Yeah I know right? It's even more pathetic when garage band guitarists rant about Guitar Hero and Rock Band on their blogs. Even the Army has made entries in gaming, albeit trying to be realistic. | |
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "experience", but if I am thinking what I think you're thinking, it is actually Rock Band that has the most "experience" behind it. The Guitar Hero name (for it is now nothing more than a name) is under the control of a group of, in my opinion, upstarts. Despite all the flash and publicity from the Guitar Hero camp, Rock Band, and Harmonix, are where it's "at", if you'll escuse the use such vernacular. | |
Seriously? Oasis is seriously considered to be an "elder statesman" now? There's nobody else left? I guess they're bigger in Europe or something, because most of their stuff just doesn't compare. That said, the CVG article is almost nonsensical. It seems like they pulled one quote from a current interview, and another conflicting set of quotes from an older interview. I'm not quite sure what they're getting at. It would be nice if the full interview were available online to make sense of the thing, but it looks like it's print-only. | |
Noel Gallagher has always been, and will always be, a cock-sucking fucktard. I apologize for that, and I hope I don't get hit with the banhammer, but it had to be said. He (they, I suppose) released one mediocre (or was it medio-core? [/bad joke]) record that was an instant hit with pale emos (the real ones, not those weird goth hybrids) and the type of girls, who ten years later, are probably swooning over Twilight, and trust me, young 'uns, there was a LOT of that going around in the nineties, and the fame went straight to his head, and then he committed the cardinal sin of pop music: He said he was going to be bigger than the Beatles. Well, after that the Rock Gods came down from on high and smote him, after which he faded into relative obscurity, but the damage was done; he'd already managed to amass a loyal fanbase, so the freak show kept on rolling, but every once in a while the pale head emerges and spews forth some idiotic bile, just to let the rest of know that he's still here... Some of his more (in)famous stunts include: "Feuding" with his "idiotic twat of a brother". For a while there near the end of the last millennium, Noel started publicly abusing his brother, verbally and physically, cussing him out in interviews, smacking him around during shows, etc. All of which thrust him to the forefront once again, but, as like all media gag-flys, everyone stopped caring after a while and he sank from view. However the nightmare was not over. After SOAD released their second album (which even they agree was over-hyped; in a sidebar interview in Maxim Daron Malakian was asked which song on the radio he thought was overplayed, to which he responded "Chop Suey. I could really go without ever hearing that song again.") the sallow faced asshat reared again, this time on a "crusade" against every kind of music that he thought was bad (read: anything that wasn't Oasis) by jumping on the "Fuck Nu-Metal" bandwagon and lashing out against well established acts such as Korn, SOAD, Limp Bizkit and the like, thereby earning him the ire of just about every metalhead in America at the time. But, again, after a while, people stopped caring and he sank from public view. I could go on, but let's just jump forward to now. Here he is again, spewing out vitriol and acid about a game he admits knowing NOTHING about...yet another fine attention whoring moment for Noel Gallagher. Who's surprised? Not me. EDIT: Sorry about the WOT...this one kinda got away from me... | |
Noel is quite funny...shame his music is so derivative. | |
He doesn't even know one of his songs is on Guitar Hero: World Tour? And that his latest album is being released for the game as well, as well as four songs for Rock Band? Damn, that's epic levels of ignorance. That being said, I love playing these games, even though they aren't real, their still a fun experience. Also, getting your head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting fucked up the arse with a laser sword? That's stretching it. | |
i mean it as in both its my typing but yh guitar hero is technichaly under a load of spazticated 21 year olds | |
well the thing is and everybody knows this No one plays project Gotham then thinks there fully trained fucking racing driver. | |
I don't like rhythm games just because it isn't my thing, but at least I make sense in my criticisms... | |
"playing a guitar is not a f**king videogame." Nor is imitating the Beatles a way to make yourself relevant again. | |
So he hates it buts harmless fun? I'm tired of trying to figure out what this guy is on. I don't know what you mean Mister Noel, not at all. | |
Everybody who thinks that he can play guitar/bass/drums because he is good at Guitar Hero or Rock Band then he should be quiet because he is an idiot. Musicians like Noel Gallagher (who I hate) and Nickelback should be smart enough that they shouldn't care about that kind of stuff. | |
Well what celebrity in this day and age doesn't have an opinion on something and has no problem saying what is wrong/right with it? And while it's true that no one should really care, there will be people will do it because they can. Besides, I'd rather be really good at playing the actual guitar then playing a game where you play a fake guitar. I understand why people who play guitar hero/rock band do it but why not actually practice at playing a real instrument? (No offense to hardcore rock band/guitar hero players out there) | |
Guitarists have been bashing Guitar Hero since it existed. Remember the Dance Dance Revolution craze a while back? I don't think anyone thought they would actually become good at dancing playing DDR. It was simply a rhythm game, just like Guitar Hero. | |
I'm a little on the fence. I suck at real guitar(I can be 'OK' at bass) and guitar hero. I do like Oasis(So shoot me why don't you), I find that I just was compelled to listen to it. When it comes to public statements however, they shoot themselves in the foot before sticking it in their mouth(admittedly this may sound strange, but you try combining two metaphors without sounding crazy). I look back upon the Paul McCartney statement released a while back for more evidence of this. Also Those who are offended easily, deserve to be offended. I mean really he's the lead man in a band that is not really that popular or worshipped(led zep., pink floyd, clapton. Note these are all wonderful bands and musicians, but their following gets over zealous). It's not like Eric Clapton is shooting off fire balls, but he does have a lot more pull with him. So what if they're incredulous, indignant, and not afraid to speak their mind. They kind of are allowed to do that(At least to this degree, I'm not familiar with Britain's laws on free speech), and that's how some bands rose to their height. | |

Oasis Guitarist Bashes Guitar Hero
Oasis lead guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher has his knickers all up in a bunch about Guitar Hero, scoffing at the idea of the game and exclaiming that "playing a guitar is not a f**king videogame."
"Don't look back in anger." Yeah, right. Oasis lead dude Noel Gallagher, who, ironically enough, penned that song which was featured prominently in Rock Band, has looked back at what he sees in the music gaming landscape, and well, he's kinda angry. "When I meet kids I always say to them that playing a guitar is not a f**king videogame, there is no level to get to," he said. "You'll never master it and you'll never complete the game."
Gallagher understandably seems a bit peeved that after he spent years mastering his instrument, the kids these days can stroll around and pretend that they're Eric Clapton after pressing a few color-coded buttons. Get it straight: Playing guitar is serious business, kids. Gallagher admits he's not exactly informed about the whole matter, though. "I've never heard of [Guitar Hero]," he said. "I suppose I'm a bit old fashioned. Whatever your entry point into music is, it has to be a good thing. It's just so worthwhile getting into."
Seems, then, that Noel's issue with Guitar Hero isn't so much what it is but that people mistake it for the real thing. "If it puts little plastic guitars into kids' hands and fires their imaginations, I think that's a good thing," Gallagher admitted. "It's harmless fun, isn't it?"
And, ultimately, better than whatever other crazy stuff the kids might be into these days. "I'd rather that genre of videogames than somebody getting their f**king head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting f***ked by a goblin up the arse with a laser," he said. "Do you know what I mean?" No, not really. But that sounds pretty awesome.
