They recycle quotes. There must be a thousand start-up websites...the Onion Brain, Gawker Cunt, London Daily Fail...who do nothing but steal quotes from each other and make Top Ten lists. Real easy to do that.
So I'm doing that.
I found some nasty remarks about rock assholes...and I'm reposting the ones I agree with. In other words, don't say anything snotty about Morrissey or Yoko and expect me to LIKE it or RE-POST with a big fat thank you.
PS, some of the insulters I haven't heard of, so they have a lot of nerve slagging the famous people I've heard of. Except the famous people deserve it. Like...
Anton Newcombe on Eric Clapton
“People talk about Eric Clapton. What has he ever done except throw his baby off a fuckin’ ledge and write a song about it?”
Elton John on Keith Richards
“It’s like a monkey with arthritis, trying to go onstage and look young.”
Boy George on Elton John
“All that money, and he’s still got hair like a fucking dinner lady.”
Elton John on Madonna
“Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay £75 to see them should be shot.”
Morrissey on Bob Geldof
“Bob Geldof is a nauseating character. Band Aid was the most self-righteous platform ever in the history of popular music.”
Ian Brown on Bono
“He’s such a fake, isn’t he? When he did Live Aid, which made them a worldwide group … he looked out and [saw] that black girl in the middle of all them people, and she’s from Hackney or something, and he was like, ‘Here’s a great shot for me around the world to show I’m Mr Africa.’ It’s like colonialist times with a big white hat."
Alan McGee on Coldplay
“Coldplay are the dictionary definition of corporate rock. The singer is about as weird as Phil Collins. They are career rock personified. EMI should’ve signed Otis The Aadvark instead. At least he only sucks his thumb rather than corporate cock.”
Noel Gallagher on Kaiser Chiefs
“They play dress-up and sit on top of an apex of meaninglessness. They don’t mean anything to anybody apart from their fucking ugly girlfriends.”
Nick Cave on Red Hot Chili Peppers
“I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
Paul Weller on Freddie Mercury
“He said he wanted to bring ballet to the working classes. What a cunt.”
Mark E Smith on Mumford & Sons
“There was this other group warming up … and they were terrible. I said, ‘Shut them cunts up!’ And they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them … I just thought they were a load of retarded Irish folk singers.”
Lily Allen on Cheryl Cole
“Taking your clothes off, doing sexy dancing and marrying a rich footballer must be very gratifying. Your mother must be so proud. Stupid bitch.”
Wayne Coyne on Arcade Fire
“I get really tired of their pompousness [sic]… We’ve played some shows with them and they really treat people like shit. People treat Arcade Fire like they’re the greatest thing ever and they get away with it… They have good tunes, but they’re pricks, so fuck ‘em.”
