NOEL GALLAGHER HATES EVERYONE

Noel Gallagher continues his hating, focusing his fury on super-producer Mark Ronson and friends. Highlights from a recent BBC interview include:

  • “He [Ronson] wants to write his own tunes instead of ruining everyone else’s”
  • Mark Ronson needs to learn three chords on the guitar and write a tune.”
  • The Monkees haven’t split up, they’re just going under the name of the Kaiser Chiefs.”
  • “I did drugs for 18 years and I never got that bad as to say, ‘You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant.’”

He also managed to compare Amy Winehouse to a “destiture horse” and renamed Scouting for Girls “Scouting for Idiots.” Damn, Noel. Damn.
