March 3, 200917 yr Over ex-Roxy Music star's production... Producer Brian Eno and former record label boss Alan McGee have become embroiled in an angry online war of words. The argument, on the micro-blogging website Twitter, began after McGee suggested Eno's productions were all capable of making people fall asleep. Referring to Eno's latest collaboration with Coldplay, the former Oasis manager added: “Was it your idea to dress up Coldplay as the Beatles?” Eno replied to McGee's message (known on Twitter as a 'Tweet') this morning, saying: “Fuck off, wanker.” In response, McGee wrote: “Morning Brian, wondered when you would wake up. When are you going to make a decent record again it was 1972 was the last one cunt.” In two further tweets, McGee also called the producer “obnoxious” and asked him what “boring shit” he planned to produce next. He added: “I would have stuck to the art installations more chance of having a decent conversation with a bulb than Coldplay or Dido/bland.” McGee, who has become a prolific poster on Twitter, discovered Oasis in the early 90s. He also released influential singles by the likes of Primal Scream and Felt on his former record label Creation. Eno, who rose to fame in the 1970s as a member of Roxy Music, has since established himself as a producer and artist. He is understood to be reuniting with Coldplay again for their follow-up to 2008's 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends'. http://www.gigwise.com/news/49653/Brian-Eno-And-Alan-McGee-Have-Angry-Exchange-On-Twitter
March 3, 200917 yr More proof that Alan McGee is an obnoxious idiot and should not be paid attention to. Nice response on Eno's part though :D
March 3, 200917 yr Odd exchange! Again someone attacking either Coldplay or whoever helps them making music...I think there are waaaaay too many jealous people around!
March 3, 200917 yr Seems McGee keeps running out of offensive things to say here, "BAWW YOU DRESSED UP COLDPLAY AS BEATLES! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO BE MORE INTERESTING?" Kinda weak on his part. He reminds me of a kid that can't think of insults fast enough with his lips flapping about like a nut. :P
March 3, 200917 yr McGee is obviously still smarting over being so totally and utterly wrong about Coldplay! I'm surprised Eno would even bother to reply in the first place. When it comes to talent Eno has more in his little finger than McGee could ever hope for...
March 3, 200917 yr I don't know if Eno is the greatest producer, but he certainly associates himself with talented people who progress and grow as artists..... Coldplay, U2. McGee on the other hand associates himself with with people, who like himself try to make their fame by insulting other people and rehash the same lame music over and over and think people don't notice....Oasis.

AAAAAgh!!! Only americans hate oasis
March 3, 200917 yr Oasis are well recieved in america aren;t they? but tbf Mcgee is a tosspot...never liked him..i like oasis but i hav him he is a c u next tuesday
March 3, 200917 yr Hahaha!! I actually find this quite amusing cuz it just shows how incredibly childish, rude, foul-mouthed, spoiled and disgustingly unbearable Alan McGee and everyone who he associates with, including the cunt bastards Oasis is!! Its unbelievable when we see these kind of people still exist in today’s music! I bet when McGee posted this on twitter he was pissed out of his head and has just finished doing cocaine with Liam Gallagher while w****** him off!! What an absolute twat! (Sorry about my language! I’m just really angry about this!!:angry:)
March 3, 200917 yr It's amazing what these erstwhile 'well-known/respected' people get up to when they are bored :rolleyes: I really like Eno's reply :laugh3:
March 3, 200917 yr AAAAAgh!!! Only americans hate oasis I don't hate Oasis at all! I have MANY of their songs! That's generalizing
March 3, 200917 yr I love European curse words! Tosspot, Wanker... Us Yanks just have the boring 'ass' 'dickhead' (or variation of '...head') I would LOVE to know more of them :)
March 3, 200917 yr AAAAAgh!!! Only americans hate oasis English. Hate them. I like a fair few songs, I acknowledge their first two albums are classics, but they just rehash the same shit. McGee discovered a band who are now surviving solely on the huge, stubborn fanbase they gained whilst they were still good. Eno makes music with many bands, some of whom are huge some who are not so, but who are all trying to become better, even at the risk of losing some of their own more stubborn fans.
March 3, 200917 yr This from Calvin Harris's Twitter on Feb 12th: Met brian eno. What legend. He told me he's not on twitter though which means @brianeno is an imposter! http://twitter.com/calvinharris/status/1204471807 As brian_eno started before Feb 12th, sounds like that one's an imposter too. So Alan McGee is fighting with a fake...
