Please...stop misquoting Noel Gallagher! It's pissing me off.

Rolling Stone and Ultimate-Guitar.com have both recently used Gallagher's quote, "We (Oasis) are in the same league as The Rolling Stones" as a headline for his latest interview. These hack-ass journalist from Rolling Stone Online to Ultimate-Guitar.com are twisting Noel Gallagher's words so it seems that he said Oasis is of the same caliber as the world's greatest rock n' roll band. Now you desperately want to read the interview where Noel makes such bold claims. Then you realized that he was misquoted and you were duped by some third-rate blogger. Those motherfuckers! Below is the actual quote.

"Everybody knows who we are. You have to see us in league with The Rolling Stones now. Everybody's heard of the Stones, everybody knows what they sound like, everybody knows what they do. You either go because you like it or you don't. It's easy."

He never really claimed to be as brilliant as The Stones, but rather that Oasis was a well recognized brand like The Rolling Stones. Noel Gallagher did have some other fabulous quotes that these cut-rate swill merchants overlooked:

"Is there something in particular that you'd like to achieve with this tour?
Five million dollars. Besides that, not really."

"OK, so you're not a spokesperson. What does the band have to offer?
Power. Musical power. Volume. Impeccable shoes. I speak for myself, by the way."

"It just took me awhile to understand the corporate nature of the music business over here (in the United States.) I never really understood why I would have to get up at nine o'clock in the morning, go down and see the guy who owned the local record shop and meet his fucking wife and fat kids."

"There was a time when the band didn't seem to be enjoying themselves in concert that much.
Well, I'm not sure about that...  But I love being on stage. It's the one place where there's no bullshit. Don't get me wrong: It looks like I'm having a bad time. But that's because I'm not a fucking asshole that feels like I have to talk to the crowd every two minutes or put on a big smile or run up and down the stage like an idiot. I like to play that guitar. I have to stare at it while I'm playing it because I'm not very good at playing it."

"I am fucking brilliant every night I go out there. I could give a fuck about anybody else in the band. They look after themselves. But I am always cooking on a solid eight-and-a-half out of 10.
What do you do to do that?
I'm afraid I was born with it. It's not something you go out to Wal-Mart and buy. "Can I buy some brilliance please?" They don't sell that shit over the counter. You either got it or you don't."

There you go...Noel Gallagher, modest and tactful as always!
