Blur Spark New Oasis Feud

Blur bass player Alex James has reignited his band's feud with Oasis by describing the Gallagher brothers as "grotesque".

The two bands had an infamous rivalry in the mid-nineties when their records went head to head in the charts and Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher was quoted as saying he wanted James to "catch AIDS and die" along with Blur singer Damon Albarn.

Now James has criticised the Gallaghers again after learning their 1995 album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory' is one of the biggest selling records in UK history.

He said: "I think Oasis are slightly ridiculous characters. They've been grotesque for a while."
The bassist, who is set to host a rundown of The Nation's Favourite Albums for music channel VH1, also had harsh words for two other big rock bands.

"I take solace from the fact that the two biggest bands in the world, U2 and The Rolling Stones, are not in it," he added.

The Nation's Favourite Album top 100 countdown premieres on Saturday November 18 on VH1.
