10 Times Musicians Owned Interviewers
10. Noel Gallagher - It's Amazing
Back in 2008, something of a media frenzy took place when the free speaking Noel Gallagher voiced his disapproval about the decision to include Jay-Z as a headline performer at Glastonbury festival.
Talking to the BBC Gallagher was quoted as saying "Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music... I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong." This resulted in a back and forth between Jay-Z and Gallagher, fuelled in no small part by the media's enthusiasm for a juicy bit of celebrity beef.
Although Gallagher later went on to admit he was wrong in his initial reaction, the media couldn't help but fan the flames, leading the surly Mancunian to give this particularly amusing interview, in which he voiced his distain for the media's miss-representation of what he was reported to have said.
The other fall out to all this media hoopla, however, was Jay-Z's legendary performance at Glastonbury. Taking to the stage, with a guitar nonchalantly slung over his shoulder, he proceeded to perform a rendition of Oasis' Wonderwall, to cheering fans. He went on to break into the guitar-laced hit 99 Problems, and proved that hip-hop most definitely had a place at Glastonbury.
