Nuff said.

Next time give the Neanderthal plank a kick in the head from me.

Well done that man. Went down quicker than a sack of shit. Or Amir Khan.

RE: Fist-happy Liam - if you watch closely, he only gets his macho act on after the security guards have secured the unidentified assailant and then does his "Yeh yeh yeh, I'm gonna twat you mate eh, yeh?" routine when there's actually little chance of him getting a punch in. If he was truly hard he wouldn't have nutted the bloke of the stage before security arrived.

As always, it's been done before - and better.

In 1981 a similar incident happened to the Rolling Stones, except that Keef decided to handle it by unclipping his guitar and smashing the guy in the face with it.

None of your 5-minute breaks there, they just carry on playing. I know which guitarist I'd want around if it all kicked off.

Damn you El Reg. I had to sit through 1 minute and 20 seconds of that drivel to get to the push.

They're a pub band.

These things happen to pub bands.

You've got to roll with it.

Noel takes care of all in a day's work for a band, while his lazy wee brother chews gum, chews words and stares at the ceiling.

(Rather see the tribute bands.)

Thumbs down for the stage-crasher, who obviously didn't know to go for Liam.

The gentleman need to be kicked to the inch of his life! It's bound to happen to him sooner or later if that's how he conducts himself in public!

- dead bird cos that's probably how he'll end up.

I really don't care whether this happened to someone famous or not, pushing someone over next to the edge of a stage is stupid beyond belief. Perhaps I'm getting old, but I've never found deliberate actions which could lead to someone else's serious injury or death particularly funny.

"During their pub gig days, the Stranglers had to deal with all manner of old-style mods, rockers and teddy boys who would come down to their gigs and attempt, unsuccessfully, to rush the stage and beat them up."

Is that why J J Burnel spent so much time pretending he was Hon Kong Phoey?

The Gallaghers definitely come across the same way to different people like marmite does.

But for me, Oasis were okay when they first came out, but as soon as they started putting themselves up on the same level as the Beatles, and givvin-it-laarge all the time, that was it for me. Now I'd just love to see the bros get their asses kicked all the time.

Lets face it, in terms of entertainment value, seeing this is waaay better than listening to the music, I'd go to any event, even some of these ponsey modern boy/girl bands, if I knew somebody would kick their pretentious asses off stage at some point.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not one of these brain-dead thug types, but you just have to see things like this once in a while to keep it interesting, their music is just NOT enough.

.

As for the previous comment somebody posted about 'ruining it for everybody for the rest of the night', that all depends on how you look at them in general doesn't it.

"Some gobshite rushed the stage, attacked the talent, and ruined the night for a lot of people"

1) The gobshite was already on stage with his brother.

2) Talent? Oh, you mean the drummer.

3) Ruined the night? It made my (and everybody else in the office's) day!

You're probably the type who would do exactly what Liam's doing - staying back a good cowardly distance (not even checking to see if your brother's okay) but acting all big and hard when the protection appears.

Now go and get a life you miserable old git.

He could have come on from the front then run around the back of the amps. Or he could have got in through any number of ways. If you're fast enough and lucky enough you can do it. Especially at Festivals where there are armies of hangers on lurking around backstage. Either way that prick may well have cost a couple of people their jobs.

You know what, I reckon the lad doing the push might have been a Man Utd fan.

There's plenty of decent bands from Manchester at the mo, but it's not these pretensious plagiarists. I wish I knew how on earth they've got away with pumping out the rubbish they cobble together and play - I'd have a crack at it too!

Got to be Paris. She's been on a must-see video as well. Allegedly.

They probably needed the 'five minutes' for a little therapy. You know how these super-famous media types are, shocked with horror at the thought that someone may not actually like what they do.

Agreed.

You wanna go and see a Beatles tribute band? Fine by me.

You wanna save your hard earned by not going? Fine by me, also.

You wanna fight? Go and join a boxing club if you're the big man.

You wanna tarnish the evening I just spent MY hard earned on? You'll wish you hadn't.

What a bunch of juvenile comments. Possibly the worst I've seen on the Reg.

what a bunch of tossers making comments today. What kind of a massive bell end thinks it's impressive to push someone over? I mean, over the age of 5?

"Is that why J J Burnel spent so much time pretending he was Hon Kong Phoey?"

LMAO!!

What talent ?

You mean the guy pushing the oik over ?

Judging by the maturity of comments on this article, it seems the average Reg readership age has plummeted to about 5 since this story hit YouTube.

Paris, cos even she's more mature than some on here.

I'm sure by the time Noel's re-told his version of the story it will be that the Russian Army stormed the stage thinking he was Georgia! For those with short memories.....

Well, it turns out that most of ye got what you wanted:

"Noel fell heavily on to his monitor speakers when he was pushed suddenly from behind by his attacker and suffered bruising to his ribs and hip. He was examined in a local hospital after the band's performance and has been advised to rest."

Some "laugh" eh...

Get a life, yawn etc....

....comparing this incident to the video of Keith Richards attacking a stage marauder with this guitar isn't valid - Noel didn't see this bloke coming at all, or certainly not until it was too late to do anything about it.

Richards on the other hand (if you watch the vid) has enough time to take his guitar right off, balance himself and tw*t the little bleeder before he even has a chance to lay a finger on him.

It's like ten Christmases rolled into one :-)

What also makes me laugh is media reports that Liam had to be restrained from retaliating!

If you actually watch you see he stays back until Security have a good hold of our hero, then he gingerly goes in whilst holding his arm out backwards for someone to grab hold of and 'restrain' him.

He's a soft shite!
