Hold It! Ringo's SON is the drummer in Oasis?

Oasis have often been accused of apeing Liverpool's most famous export - with song-writer Noel Gallagher once saying the band aimed to be bigger than the Beatles.
The 1990s supergroup from Manchester never quite managed that, even at the height of their fame, but they have finally pulled off another link to their musical heroes, recruiting the son of a Beatle to be their drummer in their come backshow at the Glastonbury rock festival this summer.

Zak Starkey, the 38-year-old son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, will not be their full time drummer, Gallagher warned, announcing the coup, but Glastonbury will be one of a number of gigs Starkey plays with Oasis.

"He's a good boy, he's got a good haircut," Gallagher is reported as saying. "Good shoes - which is important."

Has-beens and gonna-be's.

"Good haircut". "Godd shoes". BUT CAN HE PLAY THE BLOODY DRUMS? Or is he shite? Guess that doesn't matter as long as he's got good shoes.

How much coke did Noel snort before he gave that interview, I wonder?

Someone at a Beatles convention had them for sale, and I keep thinking they'd look good...on a girl.

and the Gallagher brothers' eyebrows would look good on a Neanderthal. All that money, and they can't afford tweezers?

Meanwhile, the unibrow picture someone posted the other day was retouched, and I found the original.

:kick:

Did you hear the music coming out of the place and thought you were on your way to an Oasis concert?

I just don't think they're better than Oasis.

:evilgrin:

He probably heard enough Beatles in his life, so it's only natural to do a no-brainer job like Oasis. The money will be good and all he has to do is play his father's band's music.

...that he has a greater affinity toward Oasis, than he does toward the Beatles. I wonder why that is.
