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

boring, but reasonable

that was probably a reasonable comment.

needless, but reasonable.

how go things, jez?

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

is quite a crap song.

heeeey ly-la!

that song sucked.

force of habit

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

funnier and more insightful than he really is. or that he's some kind of man of the people. when actually he's just shit.

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).

he says "bands that matter", he doesn't say mainstream indie bands.

Shirley the bands that matter are the ones that push forward music in some way, as they're the ones that actually make a difference to music as a whole?

Rather than just bands who sells loads?

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

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.

... that guy who was minister for disinformation guy who worked for saddam hussein making stupid statements that everyone ignores.

oasis and totally irrelevant to anyone with taste these days anyway. they made fashionable music that died with the time.

BITING MY LIP

I'm sure Noel wouldnt mind giving a different perspective.

theres too much of this political nonsense getting into music. Fine, do live aid/8, good, now stop fucking about. You are not lawyers, you are not financial geni, you are fucking musicians.

..... them pretending to be musicians.

sorry, the other thing thats funny is, if you watch any programme in the states with noel on it, they put subtitles on when he speaks.

Opinions matter, not everyone has the same taste in music, and yeah, i'd rather go see him and the head do Creep than listen to Eraser.

But, at home i would rather listen to Eraser.

really

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