Chief bored of Oasis

Chief: Unfinished monkey business

Sick of Oasis? Aren’t we all.

Dig Out Your Soul promised so much with the barnstorming Shock of the Lightning single but depressingly failed to deliver on all counts aside from the Liam-penned I’m Outta Time and the half decent wig-out, The Turning.

Now Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs has waded in - not necessarily expressing his mild disdain at another samey Oasis fest - but simply being mentioned in the same breath as the brawling Burnage bores.

He said: ‘It was quite exciting at first but now I just can't be bothered talking about it anymore,’ said Ricky in response to the constant ribbing they have endured since Noel said the Chiefs reminded him of the 60s mock Beatles boyband, The Monkees.

‘This is the band I grew up with and they're one of the biggest bands in the world and one of my favourites,’ they ‘were’ one of our favourites too Ricky.

The beetroot-faced Yorkshireman added: ‘I read things that I supposedly said and it doesn't even sound like my voice. It just frustrates me. I can't go into an interview now without talking about it.’

Try saying something controversial then. At least Liam still has the occasional pearl of wisdom to impart usually around the release of a new record.

Speaking for the first time of Noel’s now infamous stage ‘incident’ in Toronto where he was attacked by a middle-aged man with a pot belly he said;

‘It's not nice when you look down and see your brother on the deck,’ he told Sky News.

‘If it was up to me, I'd have cut his (the attacker's) dick off and made him eat it.’

Nice.
