Noel Gallagher drags Taylor Swift and Kanye West, Others
Quote:
What did you think of Kanye West's statement that Beck should "respect artistry" and give his Album of the Year award to Beyoncé?
He's a character, I'll give him that. And I love his track "Black Skinhead." But somebody needs to buy that dumbass a dictionary so he can look up the word "artistry." Beck can play the banjo, for ****'s sake. Nobody plays the banjo! Get him a dictionary from me, I'll ****in' sign it and give it to him so he can look it up.

What about Taylor Swift? She's a pop star, but many people praise her talent as a songwriter.
[Laughs] Who says that? Her parents?
Lots of people.
Who's "people"? Name these people. You're ****ing lying. She seems like a nice girl, but no one has ever said those words, and you ****ing know it.
One of my favourite interviewees ever.
And this:
Quote:
Have you heard any other music that you've liked lately?
Do you know that track by Alt-J, "Left Hand Free"? That is a great track. But Alt-J can **** right off as far as I'm concerned. It's a great tune, and I paid 79 pence for it, but I am in no way a fan of Alt-J.
Why not?
I don't know. One of them's got a mustache, and that's unacceptable.
Taylor remains unbothered with her song-writing being recognised by the Grammy's.
Noel himself admits he hasn't been able to match his songwriting accomplishments since Definitely, Maybe. That was over 20 years ago. He should maybe ask Taylor for advice on how you can still write a great 5th album.
