shadowchaser Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 CARACAS, Venezuela (Reuters) - Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher blamed the "bad taste" of the U.S. public on Sunday for hindering the sales of British bands in the world's biggest music market."Americans have got very bad taste, hence the Backstreet Boys," Gallagher told a news conference, adding that the popular five-member boy band from Florida "can't sing, can't play, can't dance".The Oasis star, whose three-year marriage to Meg Mathews ended in divorce on Friday, called the Backstreet Boys' songs "rubbish" and even blamed them for damaging children's' teeth by promoting soft drinks."They should be shot," he said.Oasis, whose fortunes have declined in recent years with poorly received records and line-up changes, will close the four-day Caracas Pop Festival on Sunday.The biggest music festival in Venezuela's history, attracting an estimated 150,000 music lovers, it has featured pop legend Sting, Sheryl Crow and teen idol Christina Aguilera.even blamed them for damaging children's' teeth by promoting soft drinks.soft drinks? have any of you ever eaten british food...you have to be quarantined after eating fish & chips. ------------------say one word i'll laugh and bury you and leave you in the place where you left me...

scorpio876 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 He's just whining because their ship is sinking. To be honest, I think Christina Aguilera IS more creative than they are, and that's giving them more credit than they deserve. Let those dinosaurs die.

jprutig Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 the gallagher brothers are control freaks, immature, whining, temper tantrum throwing egomaniacs.sounds like he should concentrate on getting his personal life together, instead of bitching about soda commercials.------------------you can judge the quality and content of one's character by the way they treat someone that can do nothing for them...

k_car Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 "americans have bad taste?" and there point is what??? it cracks me up that these were the same "bad taste" americans that made their past albums (e.g. - oasis-oasis) so successful. i guess our taste took a turn for the worse like their music so much crap from the self proclaimed "best band in the world." i agree, beatles wannabes... but not even better than, dare i say... the backstreet boys (and they suck too). ------------------ *************************"Strangers are just friends waiting to happen." - Old Sage Twilo************************* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris817 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 his whole statement is correctWe do have bad taste, anything that is popular in the moment everybody is all over it.. Jennifer Aniston gets a new haircut everybody gets it..how many guys do you see with pea coats?? He is right about the BB boys, they cant sing, play any instruments or dance.. why are they popular???b/c teenage girls spend all there money on them.. thats why, its not what they can do its how much money they can make companies..they are a marketing dream, but just like new kids they will be gone faster than they came..
