They seemed to get on alright ish to start with. Bit of indifference towards each other’s music in some ways if you read the nme interview (also features Jarvis) . I dunno if Justine and Damon were always snooty about oasis behind their backs though from what she said much later. She recalled Damon saying the cigarettes and alcohol demo sounded really baggy or whatever but with a tone like he was immediately threatened or knew he was gonna have competition from something more rock n roll. Anyway it really turned nasty when Noel said that thing about aids so who’s surprised she’s slagged them off since more and Noel doesn’t like them. Anyway Who gives a real poo it was a real fun era and I love elastica, blur and oasis. She definitely didn’t get the last laugh though because while she sneered at oasis their impact is sustained massively and the simplistic beauty of wonderwall is it’s charm. I mean it’s funny that they say anyone can cover it but for me it’s Liam’s voice that makes it.

She laughed at the early Oasis stuff telling her label not to bother. So it's not like they liked each other's music at all. Elastica was awesome! So was Oasis!

Both bands are tribute acts. Do you want a Wire cover band or a Ruttles cover band?

[nickolasecker]

I'm always amazed that Wonderwall experienced the commercial success that it did. It was painfully basic. While I'm not surprised that this sort of disrespect would come out of the mouth of a Gallagher brother, it is disappointing to hear a member of a band that I enjoy (their first two albums at least) be this rude to the Queen of Britpop. I suppose Justine and Elastica may have had the last laugh, as this would have been around the time "Be Here Now" was being recorded. It was all downhill from there for Oasis. Sad as their first album is a classic.

I love Elastica and didn't like Oasis past Supersonic. Being high off your ass and thinking you're the Beatles is pretty uninspiring too.

The guy can hardly put a logical statement together. C'mon mate! LOL!

[jamesdoyle]

She's right about Wonderwall though. It's boring.

[alfieholloway]

I’m a huge oasis fan but wonderwall never did anything for me. Nor roll with it. Elastica were ducking ace

[LAMF]

Why should you pick a band based on the sex of the members? BBC playing the identity politics card early.

[dennyflame]

I literally can't stand Noel or Liam Gallagher.

Out of the top four bands that where put in the same music category from that time Pulp, Blur, Suede or Oasis I'll always say Suede every time.

Still a Suede fan & always will be

Justine was right though.
Oasis. The luckiest band in the world.
