Nothing wrong with being young and being caught up in your own hype and feeling like you have the right to speak your mind, even though in years to come you'll regret it. It doesn't make you a pri ick. It makes you a kid from a council estate that just earned a million pounds in royalties from an album you made and you're on top of the world. |
Maybe I just hold a grudge because I think Oasis are an awful band and thus don't have the right to slag off anybody really.

Nope, not 'avin it. Drums are there to keep the rhythm, and nothing else.

That is just ridiculously closedminded. Drums have many uses beyond rhythm. Such as build up, tying sections together, and so on.
Applying rules to music, especially rock music, it's very stupid. Some rock bands like to bend the roles the way a jazz band bends the rules. If you only want to listen to 2 minute 4/4, three chord rock songs that don't amount to anything ambitious or adventurous that's fine but don't hold it against musicians because they're not ashamed of their abillities.
