Rocker NOEL GALLAGHER has slammed the current crop of British guitar bands for their lack of original talent - and claims they're simply riding on the success of OASIS' critically acclaimed 1994 debut album, DEFINITELY MAYBE. The LIVE FOREVER hitmaker blasts THE LIBERTINES, ARCTIC MONKEYS, THE KOOKS and RAZORLIGHT for mimicking Oasis' sound.
He says, "If I see one more advert on the TV for an album that says 'Best guitar album since Definitely Maybe' I'll shoot whoever writes those f**king things. "It's flattering that it's still considered the benchmark, and that The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight and all said it was the album for them, but come on. I think a lot of these bands are just copying the blueprint. "You're always looking at JOHNNY BORRELL (Razorlight frontman) or him out of The Kooks (LUKE PRITCHARD) and going 'I dunno if you mean it man'. When you see those bands, there's something not quite right."

"Hello, Mr Pot? This is Mr Kettle. You're black!"
Seriously though, I think Noel should pipe down about lack of originality. It's not like he hasn't stolen a good deal more of his fair share from other places.
On the other hand he can slag Johnny Borrell off as much as he likes, that guy is a dick.

I agree with his comment on how every new album is referred to as "the best guitar album since Definitely Maybe".
None of those bands justify that kind of hype. Besides, everyone knows What's The Story (Morning Glory) is the best guitar album since Definitely Maybe.

All bands are going to get accused of ripping someone else off because all bands are influenced by other artists.
