He's supposed to be this ultra cool world-conquering superstar, right? And Noel Gallagher's sposed to be some irrelevant nobody who nobody gives a shit about?
I think the worst thing he could have done was acknowledge the critics. Not only did he do exactly that, he went HUGELY over the top to prove that he apparently DIDN'T CARE ONE TINY TINY BIT AT ALL about something Noel said as a slight little comment.
"Jay Z at Glasto? No chance."
Those few words were all Gallagher had to say on the matter. This erupted absolute mega discussion, loads and loads of hatred from every media organisation and band towards him and, more importantly, the entire festival was hinged upon this off-hand aside from some irrelevant old man who apparently, no-one cares about.

Everyone's united in booing and laughing and Noel-hating. Brilliant.
But if you were Noel Gallagher, you'd be laughing your face off. He's the only person in the music industry who could have caused such a stir. He wasn't even there for fuck's sake, but everything you read had some little comment "let's hope we don't break it" etc. and then the major headliner goes absolutely overboard with his response. Pathetic.
Noel's comment proved two things. Firstly, that he's not irrelevant. Secondly, that the most important person at this year's Glastonbury wasn't Jay Z. It was Noel Gallagher. And he wasn't even there.
Sorry, I can't hear you
It must be hard pronouncing words with Noel's cock so far down your throat.
I didn't think it was overboard at all. In fact I think it highlighted how over the top the reaction to Noel's comments had gone with all the world leaders (I particularly like Chav ez going mental with the subtitle "I Can't believe he's playing!"
Also, Noel didn't say those few words, he gave an entire interview on it in which he said only guitar bands should headline Glastonbury and that hip hop had no place on the Pyramid stage. Comparing Jay Z's performance and Oasis' on 2004 I think he was very much proven wrong. Still, got him some publicity for his new album of sub Beatles pap.
thats
silly.
Urgh
Noel's cock
no
that image is in my mind now. so wrong
the other day
didnt you say you'd watched Jay Z and you thought he was alright?
What fucks me off about Gallagher is that he makes the assumption that Glast is some kind of leeds/reading affair. It so isn't a guitar music festival (meaningless statement anyway).
He also seems to talk about Glasto as if he has some kind of say in it - like Chris Martin and so many others.
And too right - who wants a repeat of 2004? Worst Pyramid headline set I've ever seen. Oasis = cunts
ignore him
he thinks Five Leaves Left is the best Nick Drake album so his opinion on Jay-Z is immediately disqualified.
^^^That is the best Nick Drake album!
^^
Racist!
not too bad
I thought you were going to say he thinks Bryter Layter was.
PINK MOON
What I thought of his appearance is irrrelevent.
Also, the Obama stuff was a tad cringey.
I still thought it was really good fun though. I love that he just played what the majority of the audience was hoping for. Famous tracks, collaborations and remixes. This all made my favourite person at Glastonbury very happy and super daney.
Peter Schmeichel?
?!
I think you're very much in the minority
as to figuring which of them came out of this best. Still, as LLB has said, it's all about generating publicity for the two artists anyway innit.
Also, of course Gallagher is still relevant; he manages to elbow his way into the headlines regularly. He's a celeb. Peter Andre is also relevant, however, in that when he says things, they are printed places.
It's certainly what the world needs more of.
Another thread that is.
I'm the most irrelevant person in this thread. And I'm not even in the thread.
STOP PRESS

"Hoosiers star"
So much of a star that they use a picture of Noel Gallagher instead.
He makes a good point though
Shawn Carter is stacked, he'd pummel Noel
I'd much prefer it if they combined their efforts
and kicked the shit out of the Hoosiers
Now THAT I'd pay to watch
*makes a few calls*
yeah, it's confirmed, I don't know anyone who can make that happen...
defnitely
probably even worth going over my overdraft limit for(so £5 or so) and incurring the £25 charge
Jay
who?
Jay-Z...
"What other people think about me is non of my business."
That's why he's class.
oh shut up
noel said 'i'm not having hip-hop at glastonbury, no way, no'
it's just simple-minded (and, maybe i'm being slightly over-pc, it has pretty racist connotations).
it's great that jay z made him look like a twat - he's been doing it himself since oasis started , maybe now he'll fuck off.
Twat because he's not into hiphop? Fair enough.
But irrelevant twat? Clearly not. Everyone cares about him. Everyone wants to know what Noel thinks.
They find out, and they REACT HUGELY.
Noel Gallagher = the most important person in modern music.
Name me any one figure who could create a larger response than him with comments like that.
PS. Liam doesn't count.
Morrissey?
Paul Mccartney?
and no, not EVERYONE cares or particularly cares what Noel Gallagher thinks.
haha retardo evening for me
I am sure that Eavis endorsed the vitriole as well.
Ever since Oasis's last performance there.
Eavis was pretty vocal about their shortcomings during that set.
NONONO
NOT ANOTHER JAYZED THREAD
