Ozzy Osbourne has defended Oasis over their constant comparisons to the Beatles.
The Black Sabbath singer told how he thought that the media had a great deal to do with Oasis being labeled copyists of the Fab Four.
He explained: “It's dead easy to start a forest fire in this game. You say, 'Ozzy's got a false nose.' All of a sudden, everyone looks the same. Same thing with Oasis.
"Everybody says they rip them off, but I don't think so. Everyone just kept saying it and it stuck."
