Arctic Monkeys vs Oasis - Tequila Slammers!
|
|
38-year old Oasis legend Noel Gallagher was humiliated by 20-year old Arctic Monkey Andy Nicholson - in a tequila slamming contest.
The Arctic Monkeys' bass player taught his hero a good lesson in binge drinking, before Gallagher was suddenly rescued by his girlfriend
Noel explained:
"I ended up in their aftershow and the bass player goes to the bar and comes back with this tray of tequilas."
"I thought ‘I can’t be drinking that, it’s nearly two in the morning'. I couldn’t say no though because I didn’t want to let the side down. He was banging them down. I was about to urinate."
"I was speaking to my missus through semaphore to get her off the dancefloor and rescue me."
"She came over saying ‘we’ve got to go home’ and I was acting all surprised, saying ‘What, already?’ I can’t remember getting home." |

Razorlight - 'We're better than Arctic Monkeys'
|
|
Razorlight - in an attempt to draw the spotlight once again - have hit out at the Arctic Monkeys.
When asked by NME whether the group feel like Arctic Monkeys are better than his band, singer Johnny Borrell replied:
"What? Of course I fucking don't. I wouldn't say they're better than the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, either. Or The Strokes, or even like The Libertines were for those five minutes when they were brilliant. But they deserve it because the door was open for them and they blew the hinges off.""

More From Noel Gallagher
|

Recent reports suggested Noel Gallagher felt 'awkward' about the Arctic Monkeys but now he's once again hailed them as the saviours of youth culture.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Noel said:
"They’re an amazing band and they’re northerners, like us. I look at these and I know they’re not going to piss it away, because they’re solid, they love each other, those four. And us northerners don’t fuck it up. I stood out in the front in Brixton with all the sweaty people and there’s only two bands I’ve done that for.
"I saw The Libertines at The Forum and they had something for a while, but they fucked it up.
"But watching that, they’re the only two things that I’ve seen since Oasis that had what we had and The Libertines lost it."
And to those reports making him sound like an old man, he responded:
"They have proved to me that youth culture is alive.
"If that’s the music that the kids are making then I’m happy for the kids. And I’m even happier because I didn’t feel old at their gig." |
