Guitarist hits the blog to ease his frustration

Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has taken his seething rage to his online blog after sound problems blighted his band's performance at this year's Benicassim Festival.

After the sound cut off during 'Wonderwall', causing Liam Gallagher to temporarily walk off stage, Noel wrote: ""Benicassim? What a fuckin' waste of time! If it wasn't for those bloody kids it would've been a disaster. I really can't say enough about the crowd. Unbelievable behaviour. Special mention to the topless birds – what a welcome sight that was!”

The elder Gallagher continued: "The problem was... wait for it... yes! The fuckin' PA. It blew twice! And the monitor system blew twice! It's becoming a joke. And not a very funny one."
