The Peeps Gotta Pay
Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute
Don't expect a free lunch from English super band Oasis.
Noel Gallagher says y'all will have to pay in full for the band’s next album, Dig Out Your Soul.
Hope the music is worth it!
True to form, Noel pisses on Radiohead’s 'pay what you think its worth' tactic as “a great way of getting a load of marketing for free”.
Upset you didn't come up with the idea???
Noel the elder said, “That’s not our bag. I didn’t spend a year in the most expensive studio in England, with the most expensive producer in America and the most expensive graphic designer in London, to then give it away. Fuck that.”
And there you have it. It's economics, y'all!
P.S. We're sure the new Oasis album is gonna be shit.
They haven't made good music in a decade!

I am first
slfghsrfg
Perez… you broke my heart
Oasis can always produce some great tunes, I am confident their next album will be rockin, not shit.
Firsttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Oh, shut up, Perez.
Why shouldn't they get paid for what they do? It's their JOB, how they make a LIVING! How about you just let the advertisers put their stuff on here for FREE? Nah, I didn't think so. Also, you don't know if the new Oasis album will suck. Wait, did Madonna tell you to say that? Hah. There YOU have it.
idrees ahmad
Who? =P
tyler!!!!
first!!!!1
Too bad Radiohead's new CD was worth nothing.
what a bunch of bitches!
Thought we had been over this Perez: You do NOT know what good music is.
Oasis is just jealous. RADIOHEAD FOR THE WIN. BEST BAND OF THE DECADE!

Oasis is just jealous. RADIOHEAD FOR THE WIN. BEST BAND OF THE DECADE!
It's good to know he's still a massive douche. It's comforting.
plus…oasis has been jealous of radiohead since Kid A when the insulted that brilliant album saying it was "trying to hard" or some bullshit like that.
Oasis can suck my ass.
Radiohead rocks my soul.
what am i missing? they are not as good as radiohead so he needs to shut the fuck up
lol @ him talking shit on radiohead. radiohead > shite oasis.
Fuck Oasis, Blur need to make a comeback. But Pulp was better than both, so whatevs.
these arrogant little fucks are always so busy punching eachother's lights out that they don't even realize they have nothing on Radiohead who are legendary.
Fuck Off, Oasis!! You Suck!!
I saw the Perez stuff on clearance already at Hot Topic. Should you really be talking about a band that has sold millions of records? What the fuck have you done?
Oasis had a bad patch, sure, but the last 2 albums have been amazing, anyone that bothered to listen before forming an opinion knows that!
Oh fuck off Perez you fat bastard. Oasis is legendary, im sure this new album will be excellent.
their a bunch of douche bags - i wouldn't take their album if they were giving it away
I like Oasis and Radiohead both have a couple of very good albums/songs.
the lead guy looks like george w bush in that pic. like a dopey chimp.
What a snob…. he needs to spend less time shit talking about others and focus on what a loser he has become, all they did was rip off the Beatles. He had two popular songs, and thats all anybody's going to want to hear from them.
Fuck that. I'll download that shit for free! haha!
I will kill you
its no coincidence that all the "Free" Albums are shit. Why don't you give any other artist shit for not giving away their music?
Oasis has had a couple of good tunes in the last few years. im sorry that they didn't release "gimmie more"
punal.
fuck you perez…
you wouldn't know good music if it bit you on your cellulite ass
go listen to Katy Perry, Robyn, Mika etc. and all those shit flavors of the month you spout…which won't be around to make another album let alone stick around for more than 10 year like the lads in oasis
douchebag
Oasis AND Radiohead are too good/important for you to even fucking talk about
stick to hollywood you gtlitz and glam whore
stop crying your heart out
fuck you perez.
Oasis is amazing and so is Radiohead.
Have you even listened to any Oasis albums since definitely maybe? They are all good so shut the fuck up.
Douchebags. But hey, what would you do if you weren't original and claimed to be bigger than the beatles? I'd want to get my pennies, too. But Don't ever compare yourselves to Radiohead. Whole other untouchable realm. They're above and beyond, Oasis is usual and run-of-the-mill.
Exactly Perez. I hate this lame band & their weak music. They are such HAS BEENS!!!!!
totally agree, LOVE oasis and the new radiohead WAS worth nothing so I'm glad I got it for free.
1: You think the new album will be SHIT because it will be made with these things called "Guitars" and "Drums" and other "instruments" and not created with a synthesizer connected to a computer with an over digitized voice
AND
2: Earth Shattering article Perez!!!…
"Oasis to put music on Compact Disc(CD) and distribute to music stores for sale"…
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…twat
UUUHHH…IF YA'LL DIDN'T KNOW IT BUY NOW…RADIOHEAD IS BY FAR THE CRAPIEST BAND ON THE PLANET.
oh and p.s.
how the hell do you make money on your website you prick? i'm sure all the banner ads, text links etc. are free for the advertisers right?
oh yeah….the jonas brothers?! wow…you're definitely the new Clive Davis…
Re: Will – Don't listen to Will and Stop Crying Your Heart Out Perez. come on, Go Let It Out
Perez DON'T TALK if you don't know what u're talking about….most of their best songs are unknown to you americans…
OASIS ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST BAND EVER…their songs are amazing and immortal and I'm sure this new album will be great!! even if they will probably never reach the level of What's the story (Morning Glory) again, they're always a lot better than the SHIT that YOU LISTEN!!!
do your research before your slag.
oasis's last album was hailed by critics and won the prestigious Q award for cd of the year and was on 90% of year end best of polls.
your simply an american idiot.

HAHA, HILARIOUS, and so true REAL
Yes, Oasis has had a few good songs, but they will never ever be in the same league as Radiohead. No comparison.
For years, Noel Gallagher has been a hothead with a loud mouth and a drunk who can't handle his liquor.
Radiohead's class act and amazing talent leaves Noel and company in the dust, Period.
i think oasis are great. they moulded my teenage years and got me into music, radiohead are great - but i only like their earlier stuff.
oasis are obnoxious sometimes, but
if you spent loads of time and money doing something I can imagine you wouldnt wanna give it away for free either,
that said, CDs are expensive
Fuck them. They haven't had a hit in yeeeaaaarrrsssss!
Plus, look at the size of his head! It has its own solar system!
RadioHead is probably one of the most overrated bands around
For years and years they never played creep the song that actually got them noticed.. And please the comparisons to pink floyd come on really not even close. At least oasis speak their mind and don't put people to sleep.
And who cares Oasis was never that big over in the States just 90% of Europe loves them which is all the really counts
let's just say it folks. OASIS SUCKS> they always have. their music is bad and unoriginal,. they are stuck up assholes. radiohead rules.
wow Noel really likes the word "expensive" a 3 syllable word…a little big for his vocabulary. and it doesnt matter if you got the most expensive of anything jackass…its about how good they are. fact is Oasis is washed up and they just need a big "expensive" paycheck.
-jT
they're so bitter that Radiohead are bigger and better and even coldplay has far surpassed them in popularity.
give it up Gallagher bros.
Last DURAN DURAN's CD is much better than last shit from Gallagher…
PEREZ ONCE AGAIN PROVING HIS "TASTE" IN MUSIC IS COMPLETE AND UTTER SHIT. OASIS HAS HAD A TON OF AWESOME SONGS ON THEIR MORE RECENT ALBUMS….MOST PEOPLE WHO LIKE REAL MUSIC DONT LISTEN TO YOUR TOP 40 JONAS BROTHERS MILEY CYRUS BULLSHIT
The older you get the more of a nasty little bitch you become Perez
Re: D –
Robyn had had 3 Top Ten Singles in the UK (one #1) and 2 in the US. Even in her home country of Sweden she's only made the Top 5 three times.
Oasis could match those numbers with individual albums and have sold over 50 million albums….
fuck off
Liam and Noel are sell-out fags. If they create music just for a big pay day, fuck them! The greatest artists do it for the love of their art! Just for their fucked up statements, I'm going to download their complete discography for FREE!!!!
Re: ana – In my city alone Oasis has been selling tickets for their September show like crazy, and Coldplay (who had a similar date at the SAME venue) has already cancelled their show due to poor ticket sales. So shut up unless you know what you're talking about
FACT
Hey Perez,
Once again–here you go again running your mouth about Music and not giving the full story…the full story is on NME and Noel them praises Radiohead for doing what they are doing. And Perez did you hear Dont Believe the Truth–that Oasis record from 2005. It was pretty fucking great. So shut the fuck up you fat waste of life. AND GIVE PEOPLE THE FULL STORY!!!
What?? Perez… Oasis last album was great! Your not a&r, stop thinking you are!
does anyone really care about oasis anymore? seriously, music wise they dropped off the side of the planet years ago, yet for some reason they get booked for these huge name worthy concerts, and the media has gone so far to say they're the next beatles. they're has-beens, washed-up hacks with the lamest of issues…i hate my brother…i like my brother! to even compare to the beatles or to radiohead is just disgusting. who ever is making these ill informed comments and enjoy oasis, must be the same fools who love to have their ears pissed in…it is, one of the same!
yeah…where?! one hit wonder TEN years ago…dissapears…and one album wonder now…give me a fucking break
AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH Perezzzzzz!!!!!!! I won't shout at you cos I love this site and I am a religious reader BUT pleeeeease don't talk about the most coveted rock band of all time, that hail from my home-city of Manchester in that way, as I'm afraid to say, I love them more than I do you and even just one more comment like that will have me boycotting you forever! And I don't wanna do that
Be nice! (to Oasis only, keep doing whatcha do to everyone else ;p Hypocrite, moi?!)
anyone bashing Oasis clearly doesn't know a thing about good music. People saying they had 2 hits clearly were born in the 90's and missed some of the best music of their lives. 14 year olds should stop trying to form opinions on things they clearly know nothing about. Noel is a legend in the music industry and, and the band are nothing but musical geniuses. Noel has 1000% the correct attitude towards this. I love Radiohead just as much as the next fan, but the last album was shit and was worth nothing.
Re: D –
11 years and her biggest break in America is some blogger hyping her up…I've actually never heard her on the radio/tv/anything besides this website.
as if you have any fucking clue about oasis, stick to having your head up wank disney kids arses
OASIS are an amazing band and have made successful and very fucking good music in the past decade. Perez you are an idiot - since when was it terrible for a band to sell their own records?? You know it wasn't going to get past more than a couple bands when Radiohead did it. It's not a good idea. People will get used to the idea and in turn nobody will make money from selling records - it's an expensive fucking thing to do, to make a record. Quite obviously, you wouldn't know this now would you?
I don't understand how you get so many props for your musical taste when your musical palate is clearly lacking.
A prime example is you promoting crappy tween pop bands like the Jonas Brothers. I don't deny the fact that there is clearly an audience for acts like these. However, please don't try to portray them as anything more than a crappy bubble gum pop band.
When you prop up crap bands like the Jonas Bros. but trash legitimate musical talent like Oasis, you sound dumb. It is not that Oasis is the best band ever created, but they are clearly more talented than most other bands you deify on this site
Perez, you disgust me.
I heard this news earlier at @@@@ NYwealthyMatch.c o m@@ where
celebrities and rich people are talking about this at forum of that site. It's said
Charlie Sheen has found his perfect match there at"""@@@ NYwealthyMatch.c o m
Oasis are legendary and will forever be the peoples band. Once again, Perez, you show your ignorance. LEAVE MUSIC ALONE - TWAT!
you listen to your "music" and I'll live my Rock 'n' Roll
Oasis is Rock 'n' Roll, so stay off
Re: snake – HERE, HERE
Anyone saying Oasis are has beens and haven't had a hit for a decade, haven't obviously listened to their last two albums, which are both great!! And anyway, that you don't listen them on the radio doesn't mean they don't continue making great music.
oasis are amazing
they are always fresh and exciting.
Any one who foams over the jonas brothers don't really deserve an opinion on what good music is perez.
you haven't got a fucking clue
Yeah, maybe the BMW dealer will follow Radiohead and I can get a new car for free? Oasis rocks and I'll be purchasing the album from a "gulp" CASH-ier!!
1) Last Oasis album was fantastic, period. Not every great cd has to have a monster hit ala "Wonderwall" (see Radiohead's latest)
2) If you are looking for great free music a la Oasis, check out Vic Kingsley
Oasis has been in the cut-out bin for over ten years. No one in the US gives a shit about these ugly unibrow drunken Brits anymore. It was funny at first, to watch these pasty faced drunks talk shit about anyone and everyone but now it's so passe, so 1996.
And how many records have they made that sound exactly the same? Why do all these British bands copy the Beatles all day? Can't they get some new material for once?
Not cool about the decade comment, Perez. The last two Oasis albums have been amazing! Fuck Radiohead - pompous artfarts.
I wish everyone spoke their mind as brutally as Noel!!!!
fuck you perez you fat fuck..you listen to fucking shit music fo fuck yourself you ugly bastard!
Where the fuck did that rant come from? Did Noel shit on your Crispy Cremes?
Oasis are a great band, and have made great music - their last one was brilliant (which you'd know if you ever listened to anything other than the Jonas brothers FFS)
I don't see how Noel said anything wrong… He didn't diss on Radiohead, he just said they are not going to give out their album!!!
What's the problem with that? How does it make him a twat?
They've worked on the album, spent money on it… In the end it's normal that they don't give it away!!!
And Perez…. I'd like you to cite one of the so called bad Oasis songs you're talking about… I'm sure you can't name a single one!
I like you Perez but your taste in music is mainly crap!
you're usually on your game, but here you are wrong — oasis might be a bunch of assholes but they make great music, take a listen to "don't believe the truth" - it's just as good as morning glory. and if you're still not convinced, listen to "the masterplan" - two great albums. at the very least they're better than anything the jonas brothers or those other whiney unattractive little popstars can make.
perez, shut up and go listen to umberella for the 5,000th time. you musical tastes are that of a 11 year old girl.
I don't work 9-5 for free - why should they be any different?!?
LOVE OASIS! LYLA FOREVER!!
They must really be kicking the wonder wall now that they've sunk to "has-been" status.
how in the world do you have any credentials judging music perez??? oasis are huge around the globe, i feel sorry that your taste lies with madonna and mariah carey, their legends as much as you big up certain artists who end up falling flat on their faces, you can have your one hit wonders, oasis's music will last a lifetime,
What would you know, you fat talentless cunt.
Oh STFU, you fatass. You wouldn't know good music if it slapped you in the face.
I see nothing wrong with a band wanting to get paid for their WORK - yes. It is work.
dude…oasis HAS had good albums in the past decade. wake up…u suck.
Oh Perez! I cant believe you would say such things about Oasis! I love your site and all but please they haven't put out good music in a decade? Did you even listen to Dont Believe the Truth the whole album not just the radio cuts?!
super band?
Too bad all their $$ can't buy talent…
The argument that Oasis isn't popular in America is ridiculous; as is the whole "fighting brothers" issue.
If anyone has bothered to listen to any of their recent music, gone to any of their concerts, or read any relevant and recent news about them, they would know that Oasis is still one of the greatest rock bands ever. Even their b-sides compilation shames any "big" American rock acts.
Listen to The Masterplan, Songbird, or Let There Be Love and see how those compare to whatever shit that's been on American Top40s lists.
Let's see if the Jonas Brothers ever get multiple lifetime achievement awards.
Perez:
Oh yeah, Oasis' next album is gonna be "Shit", right? You're so knowledgeable about music, and you have such good taste!
Sorry that this legendary guitar-rock band doesn't live up to your standards of the Jonas Brothers or any of the other dime-store, flash-in-the-pan, talentless motherfuckers you SHILL for on your site each day.
I bet your crotch smells like ass, too. Fat gross fuck.
Perez; you don't know s**t when it come to Oasis. You might know all those gay bands but when it comes to the real deal-Oasis will out sell, out sing and out write and of thoses yahoos you call bands! GEt your info togehter perez and open your mind to other music! And as far as not being free-hell I don;t balme them-you Perez do not work for FREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be sure to illegaly download the entire album now
Re: Marko – I totally agree with you Marko, you took the words out of my mouth!!!!! May Noel Gallager kick perez's ass!!!!
Oasis should give it away because no one is going to buy their shiz…hasbeens..nothing original left…same ole same ole..boring!
whatever about radiohead. oasis are sooo jealous of the jonas brothers.
isnt that right perez??
serously, stick to the shallow hollywood stuff….dont pretend like you know music. maybe youl release your own album and itl bomb like your "fashion" line did…i would stay stick to what you know (writing/journalism) but you cant even spell and your grammer is awful. cause your not a real writer, your just a fat dude and his laptop.
you know sweet fuck all dont you
The Gallagher brothers are twats. I wasn't even aware that they've made any music since 95.
