Worst Band Feuds: No. 10

Oasis vs. Blur

Fightin' Words: "I hate that Alex and Damon. I hope they catch AIDS and die." (Oasis' Noel Gallagher)

Class warfare was the underlying motive behind the mid-'90s scrum between the working-class Gallagher brothers and the art-damaged Damon Albarn and co. Ironically, it was Noel who accused Albarn of slovenliness, saying he "looks like a dustbin man these days." When Albarn's side project, Gorillaz, debuted, Liam dismissed it as "3-year-olds' music." Albarn's rebuttal? At one point he chided the Gallaghers for being featured in lightweight celebrity magazines. Ouch!
UPDATE: In Sept. 2007, Liam called a truce. "I don't mind Blur," he told Mojo, "I'm over [the rivalry]. It was a laugh man, that's what you do when you're young."

Gorillaz
When They Rocked: 1998-present

Picking up where the Groovie Ghoulies left off, the demonically funky Gorillaz live every day like it's Halloween and party like every night is New Year's Eve. Fueled by a chart-topping mix of rock, rap, and pop, the quartet has sold more than 10 million albums, collaborated with De La Soul and Madonna, and sold out a five-night stand at the Apollo Theater. The group's swan song will be a feature-length film, which starts production later this year.

Normally, we wouldn't suggest entrusting some of the most delicate body parts known to man -- or woman -- to a guy best known for flattening Damon Albarn into two dimensions. But from the looks of Gorillaz' visual mastermind Jamie Hewlett's latest set of contraptions, we might have to make an exception.

Hewlett will try his hand -- so to speak -- at helping sensually needy folks with a new line of vibrators, each emblazoned with one of his cartoon creations. The six characters etched into the Ultimate Members are newly-formulated, so folks hoping to tickle their fancy with the help of Murdoc or Noodle are out of luck -- although we can't imagine anyone thinking that a character with the latter name would offer much bang for the buck in that department anyway.
