Noel Gallagher would like Dave Grohl “to wind his fucking neck in about Oasis”
Noel Gallagher has taken another crack at Dave Grohl, urging that the Foo Fighters frontman stop calling for an Oasis reunion.
For several years now, Grohl has campaigned for Noel, Liam and their bandmates to get back together, which has drawn the ire of the elder Gallagher sibling. Speaking on Matt Morgan’s podcast post-Glastonbury, – where Noel and Grohl had caught LCD Soundsystem’s Pyramid Stage set from side-stage – the Oasis guitarist and vocalist recalled bumping into the former Nirvana drummer at Worthy Farm.
“I did actually bump into Dave [Grohl]. He was about three feet away from me when I was watching LCD Soundsystem and he was staying in the same hotel I was staying in. I would just like him to wind his fucking neck in about Oasis. I wouldn’t talk to him. I haven’t got time for that fucking mob any more,” Gallagher recalled.
Gallagher continued: “I haven’t got fuck all to say to him. He’s our kid’s mate anyway.”

Grohl’s affinity for Oasis dates back to the 2000s, when Foo Fighters toured with the Gallagher brothers and go, and Grohl had struck up a friendship with Liam. In 2022, Dave Grohl would go on to call Liam one of “the last remaining rock stars”.
In 2019, Foo Fighters said onstage at Reading Festival that they wanted to start a petition for Oasis’ reunion. Noel Gallagher responded by saying he wanted to start a petition for the Foos to break up.
In other news, Noel Gallagher has said Glastonbury 2024 got “a bit woke” for his liking but clarified that the festival was “probably the best fucking thing about Britain apart from the Premier League.”
“Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love Glastonbury,” he said. “It’s getting a bit woke now, that place, and a bit kind of preachy and a bit virtue-signalling. I don’t like it in music, little fucking idiots waving flags around and making political statements and bands taking the stage and saying, ‘Hey guys, isn’t war terrible, yeah? Let’s all boo war. Fuck the Tories man,’ and all that.”
Elsewhere, Gallagher praised Irish group Kneecap for their performance at the festival, saying: “We went to see this Northern Irish street kids called Kneecap…they’re kind of pro Republican rappers…
“We get there and the tent is absolutely fucking smashed packed – you couldn’t get in. These three lads walk out, one of them is in a balaclava and they rap in Gaelic. They’ve got a song called ‘Get Your Brits Out’. There’s a lot of humour to it…I mean I couldn’t believe how enjoyable it was. Being of Irish heritage I found that quite funny and they were really, really good.”
