RS: You've said in the past that you want people to own music instead of stream it. What's your take on Tidal?

[Long pause] I thought that the people on the stage might want to be a little bit aware that they don't look like Jay Z's minions. Madonna was pretty cool the way she cocked her leg up on that desk and signed the [declaration]. I think ultimately with the spiel they came out with, it was like, "Do these people think they're the ****in' Avengers? They're going to save the ****in' [world]." I was speaking to Chris [Martin] the day after, and I said, "Are you after a Nobel Peace Prize? Is that what you're after?" They were like, "We're going to ****in' save the music business." And I'm just sitting there, thinking [imitates smoking weed] you might want to write a decent chorus for a ****in' start. Never mind ****in' royalties and the "power of music." Write a tune. ****in' start with that.
RS: I'm surprised you watched the press conference.

[Laughs] I only watched it because someone was like, "Get on these bunch of ****s on here." And I went, "Who?" "****in' your mate Chris Martin and all these ****s." I got on YouTube and was like, [makes crinkled face] "Oh. Ohhh. Ohhhhhh." Alicia Keys made a speech that really should have been at the U.N. "We're all aware of the power of music!" But I don't think you are. I quote Nietzche regularly too, but only when I'm talking about downloading [laughs].
He's literally the bitchiest person in the world, yes I appreciate when a celebrity is sincere and not hypocrite but dear god he's always complaining about anything and everyone and thinks he's the best artist ever lived. I can't stand him even if some points are correct
At least he sees what everybody else saw. That conference couldn't have shot themselves in the foot more had they all stood up there and literally shot themselves in the foot.
When was the last time Oasis was relevant? Why is he calling out Chris Martin for not writing a good chorus?
Also is he really that ignorant? His stance is to not worry about royalties, just write a tune instead? That's like saying, "Don't worry what the pay is, just work 8 hours and then I'll tell you how much you made."
