Ricky Wilson, AKA King of the Dicks, has declared that his band, Kaiser Chiefs, are ‘the band that most music fans would see as their (Oasis’) successor’.
Now, this makes him a prick for a number of reasons:
1) It’s obviously bull-shit.
2) Who does he mean when he says ‘most music fans’? Have you ever met anyone who isn’t a fan of music? Everyone who ever existed is a fan of music and hecklerspray knows a few of them: not one has ever claimed Kaiser Chiefs are the successors of Oasis. Only Ricky.
3) He’s obviously only doing it in the vain hope that Noel will retaliate, on the off-chance it could turn into a war like the Blur/Oasis feud of old, like he tried to start with the Arctic Monkeys, which of course failed spectacularly, what with Kaiser Chiefs not being fit to lick either of their comparatively Messianic assholes.
What Ricky should try is starting a war with that Johnny Borrell fella. It’d be a far fairer playing field; the prick-to-prick ratio would be much better balanced.
From the deep, dark depths of his own anus, Ricky Wilson spoke to The Sun:
Oasis have disappeared up their own arse. They think they are Led Zeppelin. They’re not.
Err…Led Zeppelin? What? Yes, it could be argued that Led Zeppelin have made the voyage up their own rectum from time to time, but they did write Stairway to Heaven, and were also capable of writing a song that wasn’t verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, end.
They are therefore entitled to the occasional holiday up their arses.
Oasis too, it’s true, have on occasion made trips up their own jacksies, as all who can remember All Around The World will testify. But, dear Ricky, they did write Live Forever and, although living forever is a horrifying prospect, especially with the prospect of you clogging up the airwaves of eternity, it does qualify them for a visit.
You, however, wrote Ruby, and the only asshole you would do well to visit is hecklerspray’s, as our shit will rub sense into anyone.
Anyway, that’s enough arsehole talk for one post. Ricky Wilson added (brackets added by us, obviously):
Our new album is shaping up. I reckon it’s our best stuff yet (no huge achievement). I played it to our manager the other day, who has known us for over ten years (ten years! Wow! So what?), and a smile just spread across his face as soon as he heard it (the morons will lap up this, cha-ching!). He reckons that it’s the best material we have come up with. It isn’t finished but, in my mind, I know exactly where the vocals are going now and how it will sound (not hard to predict). Mark Ronson is producing the album (Mark Ronson! Fuckadoodledoo! Can Kaiser Chiefs be saved by the inclusion of a trumpet? No). He turned down a lot of people to work with us — a lot of big names, who I won’t mention (so modest of you Ricky). When he does that to work with us, we must be doing something well.
Yes, despite everything you do seem to sell a lot of records. The world, we are afraid, is designed for crashing bores.
Basically the point we’re trying to make is that this guy is twat.

“but they did write Stairway to Heaven,”
You seem to be offering this as evidence that shows Led Zeppelin in a positive light. I invite you to reconsider.
David Schwarz says
Very true. Of all the great Led Zepp songs to choose from, you chose the worst.
Mithaearon says
What a Borelly.
David Bryden says
KAISER CHIEFS RELEASE THEIR LATEST DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR!
“VERY GRAND! VERY DELUDED!” SAY CRITICS
They’re also making some kind of music album as a promotional tie-in.
Rob Delaney says
I think someone must have hacked the hecklerspray website. Today, you have been POSITIVE about four things: Graham Coxon, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Led Zep.
Remarkable.
Kelly says
this isnt true, all the quotes were made up. dont believe all you read.

Now THAT’s irony…
Jim says
Too right it’s irony. You spend circa ten minutes writing an ‘article’ tyring to convince us that this guy is a prick yet the only thing that you convince us of is that you yourself are far more of a prick than Ricky has or ever could be!
Heckler spray? Great name!! Id imagine you’d need to use it often if you were onstage as you’d be the kind of guy that gets heckled and booed off.
You really do sound truly horrific. Hope i never meet you. Goodbye
yup says
your comprehension skills are lacking.
1. “most music fans” in that quotes means “most of the music fans.” “most” meaning the majority but not all. he was not saying “most people are music fans.” and even if he was, there are people who do not like music…i don’t know why. that’s another discussion.
2. Oasis thinking they’re Led Zeppelin means that they think that they are as good as them. Not that they disappeared up their asses like Led Zeppelin.
anyway, not a fan of ricky wilson. so, i’m not rabid fan trying to support him or anything. just being a jerk and pointing out where your comprehension skills are lacking.
Sheeny says
Right …
1. Ricky Wilson is not an ‘nobhead’. Just because you’re not a fan of him or Kaiser Chiefs, doesn’t mean you should slate them. I personally, am a big fan of there’s but also a dan of Oasis (not them as people as they’re full of their own shit!)
2. Ricky Wilson said that they’re teh new Oasis, because they were becoming known and people were listening to them. Not that they’d be one of the greatest British bands to ever happen. Noel knew what they meant but twisted it to be what everyone now thinks. Whenever Ricky or Noel go into an interview, they are aways asked about it. Noel laps it up to slate Kaiser Chiefs once again whereas Ricky on the other hand, doesn’t bother about it.
3. Recently, Ricky has tried to make ammends wih Noel and the rest of Oasis. Oasis accepted this, but the media won’t drop it. Both bands are now sick of hearing about it, and frankly so am I!
