Noel Gallagher has accused Green Day of ripping-off one of his biggest Oasis hits.

The rock hero has claimed in a new interview that the global smash "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" is based around his own "Wonderwall."

Gallagher--himself credited with recycling the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and others during his Oasis career--is upset by the timing of the punk-pop group's song.

"They should have the decency to wait until I am dead. I, at least, pay the people I steal from that courtesy", he told Stuff magazine.
