Noel Gallagher is always good for a quote but even by his own high standards he’s excelled himself in the new issue of Esquire.
"I’ll tell you what's wrong,” he fumes. “Fame's wasted on these cunts today. Does anybody give a fuck about what any of these current pop stars are up to? Who gives a shit what fucking One Direction do? Cocksuckers, all of them in rehab by the time they’re 30.Harry Styles has got nothing to say for himself – nothing. 'You alright, mate?' ‘Uhhh.’ That's it. The gig will never die because you can't download it. 'And, so, for the likes of me who persevered from an early age to play the fucking guitar and write songs and practice and practice and practice, I’ll be fine. God help fucking Zayn Malik.'
Warmed up, he continues: "Who gives a shit what Ellie Goulding is up to? Really? Adele, what? Blows my fucking mind. It blows my fucking mind. Nobody cares! Fame’s wasted on them, with their fucking in-ear monitors and their electronic cigarettes. And their fragrances that they’re bringing out for Christmas. You fucking dicks."
The few nice words he has to say are reserved for Kanye West:
“You watch him on the MTV Awards and you think, 'You can fucking stay, you’re alright.’”
