Noel Gallagher says Green Day's Boulevard Of Broken Dreams copies Wonderwall

Noel Gallagher says Green Day's 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams' has the same arrangement as 'Wonderwall', claiming they should wait until he is dead to steal songs.

Noel Gallagher has had a dig at Green Day, claiming that 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams' is a rip off of 'Wonderwall'. Here are the words he used: "If you listen, you'll find it is exactly the same arrangement as Wonderwall. They should have the decency to wait until I am dead [before stealing my songs]. I, at least, pay the people I steal from that courtesy. They consider themselves to be - and I quote - 'a kick-ass rock 'n' roll band'. They could not be less kick-ass if they tried".

Personally I'd rather listen to Green Day than Oasis on any day of the week (except possibly Tuesdays), though 'Boulevard' does have similarities to 'Wonderwall' - certainly they complement each other very well when mashed together, as you can hear for yourself if you get a copy of that fabulous albeit slightly illegal Green Day mash up album 'American Edit' (which you may or may not be able to preview at http://www.myspace.com/americanedit)
