Guitar Hero World Tour Finds Oasis Today

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:40:42 MST

Guitar Hero World Tour owners thirsty for new content can drink in Oasis' latest, as Activision has made Dig Out Your Soul available as downloadable content. What can you look forward to?

In addition to the Oasis tracks already released for World Tour, fake rockers can now jam to “The Turning,” “I’m Outta Time,” “(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady,” “Falling Down,” “To Be Where There’s Life,” “Ain’t Got Nothin’,” “The Nature of Reality” and “Soldier On.” During loading screens, you can slur incomprehensibly and brawl with your siblings for added realism.

Dig Out Your Soul's remaining tracks “Bag it Up,” “Waiting for the Rapture” and “The Shock of the Lightning” have been previously available.

The full album will set you back $18.99 (1520 Microsoft Points), depending on your hi-def console of choice. Individually, tracks are priced at $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points, 200 Wii Points).

Oasis' own Noel Gallagher didn't outright say the new tracks are "better than two goblins trying to fuck a donkey up the arse with a laser beam," but we think it's safely implied.

Noel Gallagher Once Again Talks Arse Goblin Humping

Brian Ashcraft — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 21:00:00 MST

Previously, Noel Gallagher said Guitar Hero was better "than somebody getting their fucking head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting fucked by a goblin up the arse with a laser." Eloquent!

In an interview this year with Total Guitar magazine, the elder Gallagher brother echoed similar sentiments, stating, "It's better than two goblins trying to fuck a donkey up the arse with a laser beam." Though, that game does sound interesting.

The Oasis songwriter does concede that Guitar Hero is a "good thing" for getting people into music, but points out that playing guitar and playing a video game version of a guitar are mutually exclusive.

"When I meet kids I always say to them playing a guitar is not a fucking videogame, there is no level to get to. You'll never master it and you'll never complete the game."

Oh how we all look forward to Noel Gallagher's 2010 goblin arse humping quote.

Noel Gallagher Says Guitar Hero Is Better Than Arse Goblin Humping

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:00:00 MDT

Besides writing songs and playing for British rock band Oasis, Noel Gallagher is a walking quote machine. So, you'd think he would have an opinion on something like Guitar Hero. Well, he does:

If it puts little plastic guitars into kids' hands and fires their imaginations, I think that's a good thing. It's harmless fun, innit.
I'd rather that genre of video games than somebody getting their fucking head chopped off with a samurai sword while getting fucked by a goblin up the arse with a laser. Do you know what I mean?

Um...

Oasis Guitarist Reckons Violent Games Cause Knife Crime

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:00:00 MDT

The recent increase of youth crime has Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher. Eighteen teenagers have been murdered this year so far in London, and the Metropolitan police have set up a dedicated task force of 75 officers to combat crime. And the cause of this crime? According to Gallagher:

I was up in Liverpool for a week a couple of weeks ago and even on the news there it's every single night... People say it's through violent video games and I guess that's got something to do with it. If kids are sitting up all night smoking super skunk [cannabis] and they come so desensitised to crime because they're playing these video games, it's really, really scary.

Wouldn't these kids not having jobs or getting an education have more to do with it?
