Ex-Oasis star Noel Gallagher has added eccentric pop singer Lady Gaga to his list of enemies, after slating her in an interview with Q Magazine.
The singer-songwriter was answering questions when the subject of Gaga came up – and, living up to the Gallagher name, he decided to go on a mini-rant about the ‘Telephone’ singer.
“I don't give a fucking monkey's about Lady Gaga, It's all about the meat suit and the controversy. Is it about music? Really? She's got the publicity side sorted, but where's the fucking music?”
He continued on to suggest that Lady Gaga wasn’t in the same league as Madonna. “Her album gets played a lot around my house by my daughter and it's Madonna-lite. Madonna was hardcore. She took it to the edge musically as well as everything else.
“Twenty years from now, will we listen to Lady Gaga? No. She might think she is making a stand for the freaks and the weirdos. But they're not going to have any decent fucking music to play, are they?
“Who will retell the rock 'n' roll story for a new generation? The problem with bands these days is half of them get the music right but you read an interview and think, 'I can't buy into them as people.'”
