Would this be a bad thing to happen?

I think less Noel Gallaghers in the business means more room for musicians that have something new and interseting to offer.

However, I think he is wrong.  I believe that there will always be "rock stars."  Nobody wants to see Lady GaGa showing up to a gig in a van with the rest of the band, they want to see limos, they want see an entourage, they want to see them drunk and coked out crashing maseratis in the swimming pool of their mansions in Beverly Hills.

And if people want it the market will provide.

 "Everybody will be jobbing musicians. It’s unbelievable."

Unbelievably good or unbelievably bad?

I fail to see why this is a bad thing. The future looks great: lots of change, endless innovation and creativity, all of the roadblocks that created rock stars by scarcity removed so that there's more music choices for all of us. These are awesome times to be living in.

Snorting coke off a hookers ass is what the music industry is all about and I am sad to see it go. Fucking pirates, this is the kind of damage you cause.

Yeah... They done downloaded all the hookers...

What's wrong with hookers and blow?

Noel Gallagher est un con.

Not exactly the most up to date observation.

While I don't disagree that the music industry (and the entertainment industry in general) is changing dramatically, what's more dramatic are people's reactions. I'm a comedian and am hearing this same rhetoric ad nauseam.

There won't be any more rock stars? Are you kidding me? 

Yes, and there won't be any more famous comedians or movie stars or celebrities of any kind.

Can anyone else see that the notion of society not celebrating certain individuals for their artistics (or, sometimes, lackthereof) merit is freaking preposterous?  

I think that the idea that there will be no more rockstars is unlikley.  There will always be room for the unusual, it really depends on the public and the Industry attitude to such things. I agree that no one would wish to see their favourite act turn up in a beat up old van or bus, but I think that there will be less otop acts doing the rounds as time goes by.

BTW, citing Gaga as an example is not a good idea - gaga = pop not rock.

It is now extremely hard for a rock band to make it, especially in the UK, and this cuts down the chances of ever making it to the top anyway, but there are always exceptions to the rule, and always will be.

Looks like the term 'Dinosaur Rock' is true. I wonder if an astroid will strike the planet only killing the rock stars of the planet thus making Earth uninhabitable for anymore rock stars to grow.

Noel, you're probably right. But you're still a fucking asshole

Shut up! The man speaks the truth and was in one of the greatest rock bands ever. Loved Oasis and what they stood for. Go listen to your f'ing Coldplay!

True that.

this is news? 

that mentality might of been more damaging than good in the first place. now all the rappers are doing it. the money has fueled egos for long enough. music should do the talking. justin beiber being case in point or anybody like that. 

noel gal has nerve talking as he is just pissed he is not enjoying the fruits of being a brit sensation now and is out of the inner circle. its about egos, greed and envy. 

let the music decide

Noel chose not to be part of the so called "inner circle" as you call it when he disbanded Oasis in 2009. His choice. Get your facts straight before you talk nonsense.

Please. Oasis hasn't had anything close to a gold album in the U.S. (the only market that matters) since 1997's Be Here Now.

The U.S. market is the only market that matters? Really? No wonder, rest of the the world hates us. Even I'm an American and know that the best rock bands come from the U.K. Do your research. Sales aren't everything.

Noel & his brother, Liam are truly the last of the rock stars. They did and said as they chose and never kissed corporate a$$. Gotta love them for that! Looking forward to the Oasis reunion.
