How much you want to bet this is a Radiohead fan? While we have no proof, with all the smack Noel has been spewing about Radiohead and his brother calling their fans “boring and ugly“, we wouldn’t be surprised. Hehe..
Regardless, Noel got pushed off stage last night by a rogue fan. Video is below:
In all seriousness, we’re joking about it being a Radiohead fan and hope that Noel recovers quickly. It absolutely has to be scary to be on stage and get attacked out of nowhere.

A new Dead Air Space post was posted today by Thom. At the end, Thom refrences one of Noel Gallagher’s classy quotes:
“I never went to f****** university. I don’t know what a paint brush is, I never went to art school.”
Thom responds, “i did. it taught me to respect other artists.”
Woot! Good to see Thom stick up for himself after Noel criticized him last week.
Thom also links to http://www.guardian.co.uk/nuclear which you should check out if you’re in to that sort of thing.
Oh, if you’re curious as to where Thom got the quote from Noel, check this out.
Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis both love talking about Radiohead. The May issue of Q magazine has an interview with brothers and of course, the subject of Radiohead was brought up:
WERE YOU GOOD HUSBANDS?
N: I get unfairly singled out about marriage. No one asks Thom Yorke about his marriage.
L: She’s probably a miserable bastard like him. The miserable ginger dwarf and his miserable wife. Who wants to know about them?
RADIOHEAD AREN’T THAT BAD THOUGH, ARE THEY?
N: No! Radiohead don’t want anyone else involved in that little thing they’ve got going on. Their thing is: Don’t look at us. Don’t photo us. Don’t interview us. In fact, don’t listen to our music. Where does it end? It ends with Thom Yorke saying I’ve written the most fantastic piece of classical music ever but the only way you can hear it is by jamming a jack plug into my ear.
L: They’re a band of Morris dancers.
N: They seem so pissed off being in a band. That doesn’t inspire kids to pick up guitars. They’re moaning about the marketing, the videos. If i was 15 I’d think, I’ll get a job down the car wash. Whereas us, we love it. It’s the best job in the world. Granted, some of the stuff on Amnesiac is brilliant. The Bends is the bollocks. Karma Police is mega. But they don’t want people to like their music so they can go fuck themselves.
YOU’VE MADE IT CLEAR YOU’RE UNIMPRESSED WITH THE CURRENT STATE OF ROCK MUSIC. IS THE NEW ALBUM GOING TO SHAKE THINGS UP?
N: We don’t need to prove anything to anyone. At the end of the day you can go to a Radiohead show and stroke your fucking beard and watch the miserable cunt complaining, or come see us, put your arm around your best mate and have it.
L: What do you want for fuck’s sake? Tell me what you want from us.
PROGRESS?
N: Is anyone making mind-bending music anymore? We’re a rock’n’roll group. We’re not fucking Blur.
L: We’re not fucking wizards. We’re four blokes from Manchester who happen to be in the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD.
N: We’re all heathens. Few of us practise a faith but we’re after something. I’m after something. I’ll say no more than that in case I start to sound like Thom Yorke.
L: And that my friend is the day this band is over.
