Noel Gallagher ties Video Games to Stabbings
Everyone who visits Old-Wizard from time to time knows how much we prop up Oasis like most nerds prop up Star Wars. But our love for Oasis may have found its limits when Noel Gallagher criticized video games for creating all the high crime rate in the UK. In the past year, knife crimes have been up big time in the UK. Could this all be because of video games like Noel Gallagher thinks? First off, what video games are out there where the main weapon is a knife and theme of the game is knifing people? Violence in video games has become much more elaborate than the puny blades belonging to the likes of Arthur from Ghosts N’ Goblins. Is there a correlation between violence in video games and any type of violence whatsoever? Often, politicians and role models alike will try to find scapegoats for spikes in violence by blaming the video game market, but the evidence is always inconclusive. We love Noel Gallagher, but we suggest he sticks to writing great songs rather than being a social critic against video games. We’re pretty sure he has never actually played any.

I find his ignorance in videogames is a direct correlation with his crappy music

Hey there. The Chief is a great songwriter.

There are plenty of great songwriters out there. Most of them get paid for writing pop songs and country songs. By that logic, you can’t accurately defend Noel’s song writing ability. Pfft you might as well listen to pop anyways.
Great song writing, lyrics, and an overall pleasant sound can be found in all genres. What differentiates bands should be skill, and Oasis are at the bottom of the barrel. Sure you could argue that how a song makes you feel is what differentiates a band for you, but that’s the thing; how a song impacts you is relative to the listener. Therefore, it shouldn’t be taken into consideration when arguing music.
Oasis is mediocre at best. But personally, I think they suck goat nads.

Don’t immediately jump on to Gallagher until you have the whole story…what he meant was “All Sega Fans SHOULD be stabbed.”
