Gallagher Slams Bono, Yorke

2007-02-08 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 20 Comments
Noel Gallagher's talked his way into the headlines in his usual unceremonial fashion, reprimanding fellow mid-tempo rockers Thom Yorke and Bono for putting politics before the fans.

Speaking to the NME as part of the PR firm's upcoming Oasis special, Gallagher had the following comments for bands that neglect their back catalogues in favour of pushing political agenda:

Of Bono, he remarked, "Play 'One,' shut the fuck up about Africa," while Thom Yorke's crimes waranted a full paragraph. "Thom Yorke sat a piano singing, 'This is fucked up' for half-an-hour. We all know that, Mr Yorke.

"Who wants to sing the news? No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed,' at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play 'Creep.' Get over it."


Noel Gallagher is working-class.

Once Gallagher's music comes even close to being as good as Radiohead and Yorke, or even good by any standards, I'll let him talk this shit.

Good ol' Noel. As long as he's around, he'll always make an idiot of himself, and bring the 'elite' down out of the clouds while he's at it.
Thank God he's working class

I don't see Noel doing anything good for the world...

Until he does, he has no right to bash Bono.

"Putting politics before the fans"? Like, say, walking off stage in the middle of a concert because you're pissed off at your brother?

Shut the f--- up, Noel.
