Gallagher: 'British bands steal our sound!' Tuesday 7th November 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, Definately Maybe. The rockstar whose hits include Live Forever blasts bands like 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 ( lead singer of Razorlight) 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."

In a scathing attack on the young four-piece, Gallagher slammed their trademark 'real-life' lyrics and fears their success is going to inspire scores of copycat bands. He says, "Their public persona is now of a bunch of grumpy old men. I'm worried about what's going to follow in their wake. "It's gonna be c**ts with guitars going: 'And me mum works down the f**king chip shop, she met a geezer' and all that. "Great pop music is not about real life, it's about how great life can be. Real life's s**t." Despite Gallagher's description of the band as "old", the Arctic Monkeys range in age from 20 to 21. 07/11/2006 17:41 contactmusic http://tinyurl.com/y7u6w4 --
