Oasis: “Surfers are idiots!”

Liam Gallagher from 90s BritPop band Oasis tees off!

This video has been making the rounds and it is very funny, I think. The witty Surf Europe writes:

You’re familiar with Noel, no doubt. From britpop giants Oasis? Not the licensed buffoon with mediocre voice and inflated ego who once rang room service at his hotel and tried to order a trampoline, claiming simply, “I like to bounce”; but the wittier, slightly less buffoonish one with mediocre voice and inflated ego who used to be good at writing stirring albeit crudely derivative pop songs, and is now just good at giving amusingly provocative interviews. Yeah, him!

But, all punditry aside, listen to what Liam says. It is hard to disagree, no?

He is wrong, surfers by definition are humourless assholes! Check out the butthurt inertia article about it! (Profuse apologies for recommending going to that website even if it’s only for a laugh!)

Saying “by definition” was a bit sloppy: theoretically it’s possible for a human being to surf and yet not be an arsehole. But yes, in reality we’re all cunts. Especially me!

I was not an Oasis or Noel Gallagher fan but from now on Imma gonna twerk my surf warmup to Oasis blastin’ on my shitty skullcandy phones!
Fucking loving all the butthurt comments from all those nobodies accusing him of having a shit career! Might’ve been shitty but it was waaaay more high profile than you could ever be even if you hung your rotten corpses from London Bridge for 10 years. Ah ah ah

“I’ve never seen a skate boarder try a trick and not fall off” – Liam Gallagher

“I’ve never seen Oasis play music and it not be shit” – Me

We’re not so different Liam. Don’t be such a cunt, you pretentious asshole. Enjoy that you struck the lottery and became famous with no talent.

Apologies for not knowing the first name of a person from a band i don’t give a shit about. I’m also sorry that you probably own every Oasis album and probably don’t know what a vagina feels like.

My bum is just fine, thanks for asking. That’s the good thing about humor, it has a very broad definition. I’m glad you find Liam, excuse me, Noel funny. Some people also find Carlos Mencia and Tyler Perry humorous.

Probably the same reason why you Aussies and Euros think I should know the name of the lead singer of Oasis. Anyway, I’m growing tired of this banter. Can’t wait until we meet again on the next post. So, for now, goodbye from Yahooville. Or in your words, “Get Fucked Ya Cunt!”

Noel Gallagher perfected the art of being a humourless grumpy cunt some time ago. I would love to hear more of his opinions on surfing; like how can the Turpel / Pottz powerhouse improve,has Stu Kennedy peaked and what hair do should Mikey Wright sport next?

As everyone who lives in Englandshire knows, Noel Gallagher is a tit. His brother is a tit. The hapless saps who did the other instruments (from memory was there a Geggsy? Seems wrong but possibly right. Boner? or was that U2?) are also both tits. Oasis were awful; their plodding shite briefly enlivened by the Blur fracas circa 1992 (again, ???) but since condemned to the overflowing dustbin of history. Who is still pointing cameras at this man? And why?

(I confess, I haven’t watched. Ain’t got time for that shizz. Drunk? Yessir)

Come on hippie/hipster….”sell yourself”? Love or hate them but this is not a band that was made by participating in a stupid reality show. They wrote their stuff (well, Noel did) and they come from a poor working class background. As I said, not a big Oasis fan but don’t talk nonsense bc you were offended lol. They made it happen in their own terms.

What surf mags have you heard of in the last 30 years? I either created them or ran them. U.S. based, that is, but also wrote for dozens of int’l mags…,retired now but still involved in cryptic ways with a few.

Ran/ created surf mags? Fuck and you come talking about selling out and not being original… That’s a laugh!
BTW No surf mag “journo” (if there’s such a thing, they’re all industry ass-kissers and advertising bitches) will ever make a name for himself like Noel Gallagher or even be able to plagiarize as well.
Decrypt away mate not many will be able to recognise your real name anyway.

We everyday surfers thank you for making money for shoving your media darlings, overpriced surf products and exposing our surf spots.

P.S. I never bought any fucking surf mag in my life.

You know a lot about surf mags for someone whose never bought one. There are some genius journo’s – yes that’s a real category, of guys who work hard and know their shit, i.e. Nick Carroll, Sean Doherty, Tim Baker, Derek Reilley, Jamie Brisick….can’t call any of them a sell out now can you mate? Oh wait you don’t buy surf mags so you wouldn’t have a clue whom any of these legends are. Ad Sales Manager is a different category..

Nothing to decrypt. I made a career and decent living for myself and family being original, entertaining everyday surfers and scoring waves around the world, yes while producing surf mags that were respected, and never sold out or mentioned sacred surf spots. I’d list the titles for ya but you don’t buy surf mags so you wouldn’t know.

I’d like to waste more of my life philosophizing with you on this online jerkoff forum but the surf is fun out front. Oasis music is for pussies buddy, get a grip on yourself.

Yes. And ads ideally flow with the editorial architechture, enhancing the readers’ experience as some of the best surf shots in mags are in ads. After working for pubs that would accept fucken Anything for the almighty ad buck, I left good jobs to launch my own titles that accepted only quality/pertinent advertising messages from “partners” interested in supporting my concepts and coming to the party legit. There’s a lot of crap ads that don’t belong in surf mags or on surf sites. It’s a shame when it comes to that.

It’s cool BG has chosen to entertain us, which is all I ever tried to do as well. I managed to make a career out of it, surf my way around the world, and support myself doing something I love. Plus Derek’s got me on the payroll to add legitimacy since the bulk of comments are posted by jerkoffs and failures.

My closet used to be a surf shop. All the gear I’d take in on trade for ad space in the Beach Happy days..late 80s. Tracks inspired us to start that first-ever surf ‘zine in America. RCJ in a wettie ad on his back on the beach with a topless chick with huge cans straddling him. We could never get away with publishing that shiz here. And I could only live on weed and pizza for so long. Wait that was the menu tonight.
