Noel Gallagher's artist feuds make Taylor Swift's look like child's play, as he tears into Radiohead and the band's frontman Thom Yorke in a profanity-laced interview for Esquire's cover story.
He laid into a number of pop stars from One Direction to Ellie Goulding, questioning why any one would care about today's modern pop stars. He also had some vitriolic words for his brother and former Oasis bandmate, Liam, whom he said didn't write a word or note for the band.
But, perhaps the most aggressive and imaginative insult was saved for Radiohead.
"I'm aware that Radiohead have never had a f*cking bad review," Gallagher told Esquire on the topic of timeless bands and their place in history. "I reckon if Thom Yorke f*cking (defecated) into a light bulb and started blowing it like an empty beer bottle it'd probably get 9 out of 10 in f*ckng Mojo. I'm aware of that."
He later went on to recall when he and his "missus" attended the Coachella music festival out in California, and decided to see Radiohead's headlining gig to give them another shot. Unsurprisingly, he wasn't impressed.
"We walked out through the crowd as they came on, and they were playing this post-techno: 'de-de-de-de.' We were a bit pissed. F*cking great. And then he started singing. No. Not for us. We're party people," he said in the interview.
Practically the only person he had nice things to say about was his wife Sara MacDonald, who he talks about in some fashion or another for several paragraphs. Of course, the whole interview is wild and rambling as Gallagher himself admits he has an opinion about everything. Read the full interview over at Esquire.
The Oasis writer's solo band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, released a new album at the start of the year titled Chasing Yesterday and recently dropped two new singles, "Lock All The Doors" and "Here's A Candle (For Your Birthday)," which you can listen to below.
