This morning I saw an announcement that Oasis and Ryan Adams will be touring together this winter in support of their new albums. I can't think of a more volatile gathering of egos and ill temperament. Some of you may recall my own Ryan Adams experience last year. And I spoke to a friend last week who related a story about a recent Ryan Adams tantrum in the ATL in which he stormed off the stage after 50 minutes because he was apparently upset at the lack of ticket sales. And Oasis? Please. Those guys are notorious for their own outbursts and infighting, most recently making news when a fan barnstormed the stage at Toronto's Virgin Festival. Either way, fans are sure to NOT get their money's worth at whatever show they choose to attend.

Maybe if the promoters booked it as a fight, and not as a concert, they would gain a whole new ticket-buying audience.
Did you ever read that story about Oasis bitching in the media about Jay-Z being signed to play Glastonbury? And how they felt it ''wasn't right'' because rap music ''doesn't belong at Glastonbury''?
And then what does Jay-Z do his first night at Glastonbury? He walks on stage, puts a guitar on and launches into 'Wonderwall'. I don't like Jay-Z's music, but the man kinda has class when it comes to how he conducts himself in the media. Thought that was cool of him.
Yes - the Jay-Z comeback was classic!
