FAO Bono: "Shut the f*ck up about Africa"

here he just comes across like a 14 year old stating the obvious who thinks he's saying something amazingly original

donny tourette but with more hits. i'm surprised at noel, he always seemed the reasonable one.

No... YOU want to hear creep.
What a fucker.

who wants to sing the same tired bar-band cliches you've been trotting out your entire career? fucking idiots, thats who

incidentally, the same sort of people who would want yorke to sing creep over his other, much better stuff

is quite a crap song.

Because Noel has never written a song about anything meaningful in his life. Thom Yorke is trying to do something more with his music not just trying to sell more records like that greedy manc.

It's a bit shit, isn't it?

but i'd love to hear jon snow belting out a musical version of the latest headlines.

all he's saying is what everyone has thought, most people aprt from politicians (can they be considered politicians) think bono is a twat, noel like lilly allen is just big mouthed little girly bitch who thinks insulting people gives him credibilty. i personally think both of them are musicaly illiterate as they have churned out the same album every 3 years just changed the track names and album name

His Northern dryness just edges him ahead of Amstell in the 'Most Hilarious People In The World' race.

The full interview was in the Telegraph today.

A couple of choice quotes:
"I've never been interested in pushing music forwards" (after saying how he thinks music is too eclectic and everyone should only listen to one type of music)

"I dare say that every new band that matters over the past few years has named Oasis as an influence" (referring to this year's other Brit nominees)

And he also says that their band's early message was about how "everything's shit" (half a page after slagging off Yorke for doing the same thing).

quite like Noel really. And its all thanks to Russell Brand.

2 months ago, who'd a fucking thunk it. I'm listening to Russell Brand and Noel Gallagher having a conversation and I'm not gouging my eardrums out with freshly sharpened HBs. No, I'm laughing to myself on the tube and everyone around me thinks I'm mad as a bag of whippets.

THANKS NOEL

THANKS A LOT

Noel Gallagher can take his comments about Bono and shove them up his skinny pretentious ass! True U2 fans admire Bono's activism and his commitment to speaking up for those who's voice can't be heard. Too bad God wasted such musical talent on such a selfish, self-centered dildo.

that Bono and Noel are both cunts?

to put this on my very own myspace

Shut up.

Fact is: life is boring if everything is the same. I like Radiohead. I like Blink 182. It would be boring if all bands were 'humourous'. Boring if all were political. Boring if every band was lecturing us. Boring if everyone told us we shouldn't care.

So as much as Oasis do nowt for me these days, they make a lot of people happy and there's room for that. Why people can't let some people do what they do, whilst getting on with their own lives, is beyond me. I actually admire Bono. With all the money he makes, he could just tour/record/tour/record and live like a king. To be so unafraid of ridicule when you're in that position is admirable.

So yeah, shut up Noel. And if you make a record as good as your first again, I might even start listening.

I am fed up, though, of every time Noel gives an interview, reading that people "don't like the music anymore but like the interviews". They are celebrating the don't care/don't read books/buy the tabloids generation, and that's nothing worth celebrating. Is it funny? Perhaps in a sick, pointless way. But we have comedians to be funny. Go see them if you need a laugh. Stop feting someone who's contributed nothing of value in well over 10 years. I guess they didn't get offered a support slot on the Vertigo tour or summat.

...they have something in common; flogging a dead horse.

Oaisis, radiohead, U2. Theyre'l all boring, with the excpetion of a couple of good tunes (except U2).

BITING MY LIP

I went and saw Josie Long last night, she's a comedian, she was funny. genuinely funny.

Noel occasionally generates a wry half-smile, but then when i'm chatting with my mates i get more humour than that.

He's not funny.

is a bit of an idiot really...

Shut the fuck up about everything, concentrate more on your craft than hanging out with royals and movie stars, you are not fit to eat Thom's toenail cheese.
I would rather listen to Pat Boone than any Oasis album.

What has Oasis done with their MILLIONS all this time?
What do they do that is worth something in the end?
In music, I remember people that cared for others, and were not afraid to speak out.
There is no lecture at a u2 concert, there IS however screaming fans, and people that go back to the same concert all 3-4 nights in a row.
U2 has been claimed to be the biggest (most popular overall) rock band there is now and that is sure to breed some jealousy.
I can't remember but maybe 2 or 3 Oasis songs.
Here in the USA Oasis is off the map. Yet they do have millions of dollars and as human beings they do have a way to care for others if they chose to.. if he only wants rock and roll let him have it.
I'd rather live a life that I can look back on and be proud of or feel that I was one of many that stood up.
What would he say if Bono (Paul Hewson) took him to these places in Africa and showed him the death, the mother and fatherless children, the RATE at which they are dying and the bodies..?
I would challenge him to go and see what other places in the world that don't have "rock concerts" and 200 dollar ticket seats are like... He may realise that there is something more important than money and making a crowd happy. I'd rather have someone speak out when they see something than not know about it and have no one stand up and tell me. Sometimes serious things are not really ON the news and if I were in a position of fame I would do the same things. SPEAK..
How can you sleep at night if you know something and have great ideas (which are working by the way, slowly but surely) but you just don't have the guts to tell anyone? You wouldn't.
You'd suffer insomnia.. unless you just don't have a heart.

It was funny and I laughed. But I couldn't give a shite what Gallagher thinks of Bono or Yorke or vice versa.

whats wrong with wanting to help out in a difficult situation?

fan and all he goes on about is how original they are and how creep is shite when its the song that got him into them in the first place..does my head in loads. thom "happy" yorke just listened to a john peel show one night and decided that he would write some "songs" that sound like the stuff on there and then think hes great for saying how he likes avrocar and if bonos that bothered bout africa and all that im sure he's got a few quid he could spare!!!

Come on. 2 of the best most important bands of all time versus....well....some guys who can just about play 'pub-rock'.

Oasis are awful.

And I'm so fed up with people slagging off Bono. Yes he can do things in a bit of a twatty way but he has done more with his profile and influence for good than any musician in the history of music.

And Thom Yorke is a musical genius. The Eraser is streets ahead of Creep. Creep is a by the numbers anthem. Nothing special at all.

And guess what? U2 made some pretty darn good albums too. No not anything recently admittedly. Listen to Achtung Baby, Pop & Zooropa. U2 and Brian Eno at the top of their game. Heaven.

Cretins. Anyone who supports Oasis in this argument is AGAINST music. Oasis are NOT musicians.
