LIAM GALLAGHER TAKES ON THE UK MUSIC SCENE




LIAM GALLAGHER has hit out against the entire UK music scene in an exclusive and explosive interview with NME.

In the current issue of NME, out nationwide today (April 27), the singer has attacked Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Keane and Pete Doherty.

Speaking about Franz Ferdinand singer Alex Kapranos, Gallagher said: “He reminds me of fucking Right Said Fred. You put on 'I’m To Sexy For My Fucking Thing' next to their records and I bet you any money it’s the same person. It’s the same fucking person! He’s just gone on the Atkins diet and grown his hair! Not my thing at all. I don’t like quirky, weird music. It’s not my cup of tea all that nonsense, million miles an hour music that’s not going anywhere.”

Turning on Doherty, he added: “I’m not into smackheads. Smackheads need slaps… So what does the word Libertine mean? What does it mean? Freedom? He’s fucking in the corner doing smack with a helmet on his head! There’s nothing free about that. It’s nasty, innit? If the kids like them, fair enough, but they’re nowhere near like us. The music’s rubbish for start”.

Scissor Sisters - who claimed that Oasis lacked respect for the Glastonbury crowd following their muted performance at last year’s event – were also slammed by Liam who retorted saying: “If that’s what they call entertaining then let them ‘av it - bright colours and fucking weirdos on stilts? I’m more entertaining than that cunt. And I’ll rip his fucking vocal chords out anyday because he’s fucking rubbish.”

Even newcomers Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party weren’t safe from Gallagher’s acid tongue, with the singer describing the former as “a bad Blur” and the latter as “a band off University Challenge, like they’re sitting on a panel or something”.

However, in the band’s revealing interview, Gallagher did reserve praise for an unlikely star.

"It's Charlotte Church for me, man,” he stated. “She could be the next Liam. She's got a great voice and she f**king has it. She knows how to get f**king hammered and she freaks people out."

Oasis’ new album ’Don’t Believe The Truth’ is set for release on May 30, and will be preceded by the single ’Lyla’ on May 16.

Did anyone not enjoy reading that?

I fucking love Liam for being the character that he is, and could listen to his coked up rants all day, but my god he's bitter about new bands taking the spotlight from the "fading away" lad rock that was Oasis.

See, this is what I was talking about!!

oasis = rockstars = pretty f'ing cool in my book

Wonder how Liam would review the last two Oasis album's???

Fookin' brilliant.

Liam is very funny in print, but he'd need boots to the head several times a day if any of us actually knew him.

I'd sic this dude on him:

funny, and slightly tragic.

My friend's dad sat next to him in a plane around 97'. He came home and said, "Matt I sat next to a guy who is in a band called Oasis. Have you heard of them?" He said that he was very nice and polite.

Well that was Noel, then.

That's Hilarious!!! I just pictured him sitting next to (stereotypical dad), chatting away about Anglo-American relations, the dollar in the marketplace, Bridget Jones, etc., whilst sipping a scotch politely.

that's pretty much how he described the scene. he worked in Scotland, and his company would fly him back to the US anytime he wanted first class. So he met all kinds of people.

i loves me the oasis.

The world would be a better place if both Liam and Noel retired from making their shitty, hackneyed albums and started posting full-time on Obner.

i actually agree with him on a lot of his points.

minus the Charlotte Church stuff.

I think we've rehashed the late 70s and early 80s enough for now.

ahhhh, the sober Liam.

i disagree.

the sound of 2005 might be pretty fucking bad.

but perhaps it might be original.
