Likely growing tired of only marding with his brother, Noel Gallagher has a new enemy: the 1975. After calling Matty Healy a "slack-jawed fuckwit" for demanding an Oasis reunion, he's expanded on how "fucking shit" he thinks the fellow Mancunian's music is.
A reporter at NME recently asked Gallagher if he notices Oasis' influence on modern music, and he took the opportunity to further express his distaste for Healy's band. "Oasis' influence, I think, was for people to fucking start a band in the first place. I do meet loads of guys who say that and that's great," he said. "There are a lot of them around, it's just a pity guitar music has become marginalized. You've either got to be rock, or that fucking [the] 1975. At the BRITs, the 1975 won Best Rock or some fucking shit."
He continued: "I was watching it with my kids, two teenage lads, thinking, 'Is it me being a grumpy old man, or is this shit?' They were both going, 'Oh no, this is fucking shit.' The 1975, Best Rock Band? Someone needs to redefine that immediately, because that is… I don't know what that is, but it's certainly not fucking rock. Whatever rock is, that's not it."
Sure, it's fair to criticize the 1975's categorization as a rock band (and many of Healy's recent comments), but do you know what else is "fucking shit?" Gallagher's cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart." Also, apparently his driving skills.
The mard between the pair began when Healy called for an Oasis reunion in February: "Can you imagine being in potentially, right now, still the coolest band in the world and not doing it because you're in a mard with your brother?" This prompted Noel to share his feelings on the 1975 months later, saying, "he needs to go over how shit his band is and split up."
Noel has been the most vocal of the Gallagher brothers lately, calling Liam a "coward" and denying the Oasis reunion rumours. He also seems to be marding with the TV show Friends, coffee shops and his past self. All of these are likely more interesting than his latest album, Council Skies.
At least Gallagher doesn't have to worry about the Swifties coming for him, as they aren't too thrilled with Taylor Swift's new beau, either.
