Quo: 'Oasis don't know how to rock'

This mad me chuckle.... Oasis do not know how to rock, according to Status Quo star Francis Rossi.

"We're from a generation of acts that are very physical, we put physicality into it, but some of the younger bands don't want to put that physical commitment in," he told The Sun. "What always comes to mind is Oasis. They call themselves a rock band and they stand there looking at the floor. Bored s**tless they look!

Time will always be the judge of bands who rock. Where will Oasis be in 30 years time? Will they still be selling albums or goin down the same route as status quo and doing 'best of albums' which nobody wants to listen to.

I apologize for the next words: I saw Oasis last Wednesday here in Mexico. I spent a lot of fucking money to pay for the ticket and the trip. The concert was fucking amazing. I would sell my damn soul to the devil to see them on stage again. You don't only show yourself as a rock band jumping and screaming on stage. Diversity, do you know the meaning of that word? Whatthefuckever! Oasis still rocks on stage! Sorry for the F word... :-P
