Noel Gallagher Ruins Wayne Rooney's Les Paul

skullfunkerry

Everything I've seen and read of Noel Gallagher has given me the impression that he takes himself far too seriously and isn't the sort of person I'd ever want to meet... however, he did come out with one of my favourite quotes about anything, ever - about his brother being so angry, he said 'he's like a man with a fork on a planet of soup'

Rooney doesn’t even play guitar! Just collects signed ones.....?!?

Funnily enough, since I've had all my guitars visible on wall hangers rather than hidden away in cases I've had several people ask me if I actually play, or just collect them...

Would be a dick move if it was an actual player wanting the guitar he uses signed but it was a pure shallow present from a materialistic basic-bitch wag to her non-guitar-playing millionaire husband - can't have any sympathy.

It's the not the worst thing Noel Gallagher has done to a guitar. 

That would be when he picks one and plays 'Do you know what I mean'

In the early days of Oasis, Johnny Marr lent Noel a 1960 burst les paul. I think it's the cherry burst he is using at glastonbury in 94. A few months later he destroyed it by smashing it over someones head in a fight.

Someone jumped on stage and attacked them I think. The guitar did get broke, and repaired and he still owns it. It was in the Oasis exhibition a few years back. The guitar was a conversion, not a 59.

Interesting- How dare you turn up with facts during this witch hunt

Just been doing a bit of fact checking myself. The 59 conversion is a different guitar I think. The one that got broken in the fight was a 1960 les paul according to Johnny Marr (and les paul forum members), previously owned by Peter Townsend.

Going to back to original topic, the blue guitar is probably more valuable now than if he had just signed it.

And that LP was owned by Joe Walsh and then Pete Townshend before Pete gave it to Johnny.

Seem to remember someone jumping on stage once, Liam backed off very sharpish, then started looking like he wanted to have a go once security had got the invader haha!!

Don't remember any guitar swinging in that particular one though...

Wow - I found that just a funny story, couple of ludicrously wealthy guys winding each other up, I'd imagine that even a 300k 59 would be peanuts to Rooney and his Mrs.

Noel put a lot more effort into that (the guitar has been painted properly it seems) than you might expect, its his expensive idea of a "witty rejoinder".

Mind you, as an Oasis/Noel G fan for many years this is pretty mild comparing to some things he has pulled.

In that one I think Noel was hurt and continued the gig.

Summarise the best ones briefly for me and I shall determine whether to deem them worthy of their place in the annals of rock history...

With Noel it's basically things he has said that cause him trouble...

Well, no, but then nobody is.

Have to say Noel has gone up (from a low base) in my estimation for that.

Never been a fan of his musically, oasis are decent as bland pub music but I love Noel from his part in the old Russell Brand show.

One of the episodes Steven Siegal is a guest and Noel got to give a question to ask him and the questions he gave were who his favourite British blues guitarist and what year is his Les Paul.
