Oasis Inspires Metallica To Quit Drugs

Noel Gallagher isn't just making enemies these days with his frank comments. He's actually helped someone to quit drugs!

Metallica drummer, Lars Ulrich, says he was inspired by Oasis guitarist, Noel Gallagher, to quit cocaine. Ulrich, who is an Oasis fanatic, felt that if Gallagher could do it, so could he.

That's right. You should always lead by example, and remember, drugs kill.

Liam Gallagher Digs SpongeBob SquarePants

Oasis may be fans of big names like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, but Liam Gallagher also likes a certain cartoon character!

The Oasis frontman is getting an artist to recreate cartoon character, SpongeBob SquarePants, in the style of pop artist Andy Warhol. He plans to hang the artwork in his living room, alongside pictures of Elvis and Jimmy Hendrix. Liam feels SpongeBob is full of beans and enthusiastic.

He also said another character in the cartoon, Squidward, reminds him of his brother, Noel Gallagher.
