Noel Gallagher Interview: Dont Throw Coins and Shoes at Oasis

Oasis brings their act of brotherly love to GM Place tonight. Ahhh, but remember the late 90s? When they were relevant?

One of the most infamous concerts to hit the Pacific Coliseum was one by Oasis on April 10, 1996. After being pelted by shoes and coins during the opening numbers, Noel opened up on the crowd screaming “We’re not a bunch of f*cking monkeys! We’re the best band in the f*cking world!” before storming off the stage with his band, never to return.

Here’s what the local interwebs had to say about the blow up.

Oasis did not walk off the stage because some shoes and clothing were thrown at them — or, at least that, isn’t the major reason why they left. Rather, it seems that a few disturbed and moronic individuals found it funny to throw coins at the band, hitting guitarist Noel Gallagher in the eye at one point.

I have not been to many big shows where shoes or other pieces of clothing were not tossed up on stage, so, big deal. I don’t condone it, but it was to be expected. Coins, however, are a totally different matter altogether, and I don’t for a second blame Oasis for stopping the show. [dropd]

Just short of a year later, they came back to try it again, and I interviewed Noel Gallagher about the incident and whether or not shoe tossing was a regular occurrence on their travels. (**warning** the language gets a little spicy)

Have fun at the show tonight. Keep your shoes on your feet, and your coins in your pocket.
