That year marked the height of the Blur vs. Oasis rivalry, and Gallagher made a shocking comment that would follow him for decades. He saw Blur as too polished and “art school” to be considered real rock.
“The guitarist I've got a lot of time for. The drummer I've never met. I hear he's a nice guy,” Gallagher told The Observer’sMiranda Sawyer in September 1995 when asked if he could “remain friendly” with Blur. “The bass player and the singer I hope the pair of them catch AIDS and die because I f**king hate them two.”
Weeks later, he apologized.
Blur accepted the apology, though the sting lingered. Still, it didn’t slow Oasis’ rise. What’s the Story Morning Glory? was already one of the biggest albums of the decade, and Noel’s reputation as Britpop’s most unfiltered frontman was sealed.

In 2010, Albarn reflected on it during Blur’s documentary No Distance Left to Run.
By 2023, the feud was finally buried.
“Yeah, me and him get on great,” Noel told Radio X’s Dan O’Connell. “I love his band. I know most of his band.”
Looking back 30 years later, the moment says as much about the decade as it does about Noel. The 1990s were loud and reckless. He may have apologized, but that flash of temper still sums up what made Britpop wild to begin with.
