[photogallerylink id=56062 align=left] [lastfm]Thom Yorke[/lastfm] comes under fire from the ever vengeful Liam Gallagher (ex-[lastfm]Oasis[/lastfm], now [lastfm]Beady Eye[/lastfm]) for being inspired by a tree. (Don’t worry, his bark is worse than his bite.) But Radiohead are not the only musicians moved by our leafy friends:

[lastfm]Liam Gallagher[/lastfm] has laid into [lastfm]Radiohead[/lastfm] for writing music “about a f—ing tree” on their new album saying, “I heard that fucking Radiohead record ['The King Of Limbs'] and I just go, ‘What?!’” he said. “I like to think that what we do, we do f—ing well. Them writing a song about a fucking tree? Give me a f—ing break! A thousand year old tree? Go f—k yourself!”

“A Forest” by the [lastfm]Cure[/lastfm]. If Robert Smith sings in the forest, does anyone applaud?
“The Trees” by [lastfm]Rush[/lastfm]. War in the tall timber prog-rock style!
“The Trees Are Testifying” by [lastfm]Peter Himmelman[/lastfm]. (Without a subpoena.)
“Old Oak Tree” by [lastfm]Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials[/lastfm]. A band firmly rooted in the blues.
“I Shall Not Be Moved” by [lastfm]Johnny Cash[/lastfm] (and many others.) An old slave spiritual about standing your ground.
Anything by [lastfm]Screaming Trees[/lastfm] or the [lastfm]Oak Ridge Boys[/lastfm] or [lastfm]Vic Chestnut[/lastfm]…

Liam can go f**k himself, what is with those brothers and their egos ?! Anyone can write anything about whatever inspires them.

Don’t forget the awesome “The Trees” by Pulp! (Which is nothing like that awful Rush song.0

Until you make an album comparable to say, Joshua Tree or The Bends, have another Alka Seltzer and shut the F@#! up!

Evergreen, Streisand
Blah

Wow talk about some one who is just completely inconsequential, and even if this album was inspired by a 1000 year old tree there are far deeper concepts that are evoked in the album. Next time maybe listen to the entire album and try to get a better feel for it than jumping to nonsensical profanity. I don’t know if I should be surprised or not, I know nothing about this man, but its a very childish reaction.
