A spirited exchange of opinions has emerged between two iconic bands that have captured the hearts of fans across England. This unfolding drama highlights the contrasting perspectives within the music industry.

In a recent interview with NME, Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols shared his thoughts on the buzz surrounding Oasis’ much-anticipated 2025 reunion tour. Matlock expressed his confusion over the excitement, even describing Oasis as unremarkable in his view. He stated, “If you’re a fan, [the excitement is] understandable. They’ve got lots of fans,” adding, “I’ve always seen Oasis as a bit Status Quo. [With Quo], to hear one song once was enough. It’s a bit like that with Oasis: to hear one song once is enough.”

The bassist was keen to clarify that his remarks were not personal, even referring to the Gallagher brothers as “nice blokes.” He acknowledged Liam Gallagher’s talent, saying, “I think Liam is fantastic. He sings great – he’s like Johnny Rotten but can carry a tune. He’s got a magnetic stage personality: he can just stand there and it’s riveting.” However, he expressed his disinterest in seeing them perform live, stating, “The rest of the guys? No. I think they’re boring live. I’d never go to see ‘em.”

In an intriguing twist, Matlock disclosed that he was once considered for a collaboration with Oasis back in the ‘90s. “There was a bit of talk about me helping them out with bass a long time ago – in ’95, ’96 – and then they sorted out the problem they had with the bloke who was doing it,” he remembered. “I got invited to see ‘em at Earl’s Court. I left. It was boring. I went again to see ‘em in upstate New York with [Blondie’s] Clem Burke. Nah – I couldn’t wait to go.” This revelation adds depth to the ongoing narrative of musical relationships and rivalries.

Liam Gallagher’s Candid Reaction to Matlock’s Critique

As expected, news of Matlock’s critical comments reached Liam Gallagher, who did not hold back in expressing his feelings. When a Twitter follower prompted him for his thoughts on the situation, Gallagher responded with characteristic bluntness.

“Fuck him. Sid was the Pistols,” Gallagher asserted, referencing Sid Vicious, the bassist who took over from Matlock in 1977. This response illustrates the ongoing tension between the two musical camps and highlights Gallagher’s fierce loyalty to his band’s legacy.
