its a long shot, but maybe the fall will flip something in noel's head and make him realise he's wasted his life making the most boring fucking beatles-aping shite music known to man. and maybe he'll stop.

A guy I know went to the show and told me last night.
I've never seen performers stand so still and look so bored.

"Dude...I'll bet you the price of your ticket and a beer that you can't go up there and knock Noel to the ground. And get out of there before security stomps you."

"Done."

Wow there's a lot of immature fucks on this message board eh? *see everyone above this post* what the fuck is wrong with people these days? Every week there's some performer getting some shit thrown at him or something.

Either grow up or stay at home with your mom when there's a festival in town.

The guy's lucky this isn't the 90's or a.) Liam probably would have kicked the shit out of him, and b.) Oasis would have walked off, and there's a good chance the guy responsible would have got torn apart in similar fashion to the Alice Cooper chicken incident.

It's amazing how the slightest bit of pomp in a performer makes people loath them and celebrate their misfortunes.

That's funny, though. I just don't understand all of the contempt from my fellow users.This Message Edited On 09.08.08

I thought you sounded like you were accusing us of it. Considering how much of a prick Noel is all the time, it's pretty ironic and at the same time funny. I was laughing mainly at Liam's ridiculous reaction anyway.This Message Edited On 09.08.08

Plus, I've been pushed hard onto concrete by someone a LOT bigger than me running into me very fast, and only got a graze. Considering my small build is probably a hell of a lot weaker than Noel's, I highly doubt he was injured at all, let alone badly.

Not really ironic...a guy who is a prick get's pushed over, that's more of a karma issue than ironic.

And I just read that they suspect he's got a fractured rib, he was not prepared for that push at all, he fell over with little to no resistance.

And I enjoyed Liam's reaction, I wish it was the good old days and they would have let him beat the guy down, much like Keith Richards struck that one guy in the head with his guitar and kept on playing.

I don't claim to be mature at all, I just don't find it funny when performers who are playing for their fans get sabotaged by some dick who thinks he's funny.

fyi he was pushed from behind WITHOUT warning, which is a hell of a lot different than know that you're gonna be attacked ahead of time.

plus, P!ATD's singer being hit in the face with a bottle was much more hilarious anyway. this was kinda dumb.This Message Edited On 09.08.08

Ok, I see you're point. Don't worry about what I said earlier, I obviously took it the wrong way. I only laughed at Liam's reaction, I thought you were complaining about that, which sounded stupid. Editing comments now.

The attacker waits until no one is looking THEN goes after Noel FROM BEHIND when he's clearly not expecting it. Brave? Yeah right.

Haters who dismiss Oasis’s songs as populist fail to recognize the core emotion behind them, which is yearning. The way I see it, Oasis doesn’t imitate – they extend the tradition of great British rock. Therein lies the difference. They obviously don’t want to plumb depths, and that’s ok with me.

Why is everyone always ragging on Oasis for "borrowing" from the Beatles.

Has anyone hear ever heard Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers? Or are they underground...(yes that was sarcasm) the first time Roger McGuinn heard "American Girl" he jokingly asked "When did I record this?" The majority of Tom Petty's songs are influenced by The Beatles and The Byrds...so what there good songs.

Same with Oasis.

I get the argument about singers getting attacked...but its Noel...c'mon, he's the one that normally does the attacking. (and I'm a big believer in you deserve, you get it).

However, it WAS hilarious. Nothing quite beats random, harmless violence. (and I know he broke his rib, which is pretty bad, but it SHOULD have been harmless, the guy who did it was a pussy though)

It's pretty brave in a way, would you ever run onto a stage in front of hundreds of people and push over their idol?

I wouldn’t say it was brave, but more of a lack of common sense.
I would not even wish something like this to a band I don’t like, and there are many of them.

nice to see that the secuurity Oasis payed for did their job. Oh wait, they didnt.

I really dig Oasis, but regardless of the band, you would have to be some sort of loon to pull off a stunt like this, pushing a defenceless dude over with his back to you, off a stage, thats pretty low man, this 'fan' deserves all he gets.

So back to the point; he tried to go for the singer too. Its not like he was gonna take off after the hit--just doing as much damage as possible. Although with the misdirect from security whatshisface has a fist/shove ready for the attacker by the time his body gets to whatshisfaces' position.

Well the most f'd up news is that the guy who did it was 47...wtf? Grandma's boy or what? I mean some young drunk kid would be understandable. Hell this guy is older than Noel.

lol. Thats what I thought.

On a Oasis fan site the persons personal details were posted.

I find what the guy intended to do very funny as I doubt that he intended to break Noels ribs

I find Noel the better one out of the Gallagher brothers so I would find it funnier if it had happened to Liam.

P.S. I like Oasis' music so I'm not saying its funny because I dont like themThis Message Edited On 09.10.08This Message Edited On 09.10.08
