The Kaiser Chiefs + Oasis = The Fur Flies!

Artist:
Ricky Wilson, singer of the British group the Kaiser Chiefs recently was quoted as saying "we're better than Oasis."

The singer added: "Oasis have disappeared up their own arse. They think they are Led Zeppelin. They're not... Music has moved on and I think we are the band that most music fans would see as their successor."
This was of course reported by the SUN.
Kaiser Chiefs
Speaking on the band's blog, drummer Nick Hodgson has suggested the story is not correct.
Hodgson explained: "The way I see it is Ricky was out, started talking to some guy. He didn't know he was a journalist (he didn't have a voice recorder or a notepad - which explains why the quotes from Ricky didn't sound like him at all)."
The drummer then added that Wilson may have said that Oasis have disappeared up their own asses, but he definitely didn't say the Kaiser Chiefs were going to replace them.

"He [Wilson] said that Oasis had disappeared....., which is fair enough conversation material on a late-night boozy do," wrote Hodgson. "But the rest sounds like a load of made up in the morning journalistic interpretation. All the stuff about music fans seeing us as Oasis' successors - and how Ricky thinks the vocals are really shaping up. Crazy talk. The vocals are awful, only joking, they're lovely."
So all is well in the world of British rock... well, sort of.

Although he added, "It isn't finished" while there is no word on a release day.
