Noel Gallagher has been saying how much he hates the modern music scene

Some might say that disapproves of modern music

Colm Boohig

One Direction, Adele, Ellie Goulding… they’re all getting the Noel treatment.

Noel Gallagher has been speaking to Esquire and, as reported by the Independent, the Oasis legend isn’t exactly sitting on the fence when giving his two cents about modern music.

Rather than going through the whole interview, we’ve picked out some of the strongest opinions that Gallagher has on the modern music industry.

This would be NSFW reading, if we didn’t bleep out his loose tongue.

Noel Gallagher NME Interview

On Adele:

“Adele, what? Blows my f****** mind. It blows my f****** mind. Nobody cares!”

Adele Hello

On One Direction:

“Who gives a s*** what f****** One Direction do? C*********s, all of them in rehab by the time they’re 30.”

Harry One Direction

On Ellie Goulding:

“Who gives a s*** what Ellie Goulding is up to? Really?”

He did, however, reserve praise for Kanye West of all people:

“Fame’s wasted on these c****s today. Bar Kanye. You watch him on the MTV Awards and you think, ‘You can f****** stay, you’re alright”.

The High Flying Birds man isn’t a fan of the attitude in rock anymore. This is what he wants:

“I don’t want interesting! Rock ’n’ roll’s not about that. To me, it’s about f****** utter gob*****s just being f****** headcases.”

“What I want, genuinely, is somebody with a fucking drug habit, who’s not Pete Doherty. Do you know what I mean?”

We think he wants more incidents like this…
