Never one to shy away from a controversial sound-bite, Oasis man Liam Gallagher has given The Times a piece of his mind in a typically amusing interview. Targets of his disdain include fans of Radiohead and Coldplay, the paparazzi and new music in general.

Despite telling the paper he’s toned back on rock – œn roll excesses (namely booze and cocaine), Gallagher makes it clear he isn’t a big girl’s blouse. “Yeah, I’ve mellowed, but not in the sense of liking Radiohead or Coldplay,” he quips. “I don’t hate them. I don’t wish they had accidents. I think their fans are boring and ugly and they don’t look like they’re having a good time.”

The man is also “not interested” in contemporary artists. “I play the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, Neil Young, the Pistols. Maybe a bit of the Roses. Don’t like modern bands. Topman music, innit?” What might surprise Oasis observers is that Gallagher doesn’t believe the band has never made a lacklustre album. “Just ‘cos [brother] Noel and a couple of divvy journalists think that doesn’t mean it’s right. I think all our records are great.”

Regardless of your feelings on Oasis, it’s an entertaining interview/rant. You can read the full feature HERE.
