Wolf Alice's Theo Ellis Respondeds To Noel Gallagher's Diatribe Against Modern Music

Wolf Alice's Theo Ellis has responded to Noel Gallagher's recent diatribe against the state of modern music, saying, "It's just boring. It's just he who shouts the loudest... is usually the mod stupid fucking idiot."

The former Oasis frontman was even more bitter than usual in a recent interview with Esquire, during which he called One Direction "cocksuckers" and asked, "Who gives a shit what Ellie Goudling is up to? Really? Adele, what? Blows my fucking mind."

He also said, "Alex Turner [of Arctic Monkeys], Miles Kane, the guys from Royal Blood. They’ve got the fucking skinny jeans and the boots, and all that eyeliner. I’ve got a cat that’s more rock’n’roll than all of them put together. Pigeons? Rips their fucking heads off."

Speaking to Gigwise of Gallagher's outlook, Wolf Alice's Theo Ellis said, "Well he’s old as fuck so he should probably chill out. [Just] because you’ve been a successful musician, you’re not some kind of strange elder that hangs out on a cliff somewhere in mod world watching out. There’s no point in shouting loudly about other people and then not doing that much creative stuff."

He continued, "I mean, I love Oasis, I think Noel Gallagher’s an incredible songwriter, but I think that whole father-time old miser, rock 'n roll character thing doesn’t breed creativity, it’s just being mean to people. And that’s a bit dull. But, you know, he’s also really funny."

He added, "Maybe he should try writing some fucking tunes, because his solo stuff’s… whatever. I mean I can’t believe I’m saying this about Noel Gallagher. If you do print this, then I’m probably gonna get slagged off by Noel Gallagher. It is just really dull. "

As for Gallagher's declaration that "what I want, genuinely, is somebody with a fucking drug habit," Ellis said, "No one should ever wish that anyone has a drug habit, because if you’ve been affected by people who have had drug habits, it’s a deeply sad thing, that doesn’t warrant rock-stardom. He definitely has - he has himself. It’s just boring, it’s just he who shouts the loudest… is usually the mod stupid fucking idiot."

Noel Gallagher Tears Into Adele, 1D, Ellie Goulding And Arctic Monkeys

"I've got a cat that's more rock'n'roll than all of them put together. Pigeons? Rips their f**king heads off."

Oh dear. Self-proclaimed last of the great rock and rollers Noel Gallagher has torn into One Direction, Adele, Arctic Monkeys and, well pretty much everyone.

The former Oasis star gave a typically outspoken interview to Esquire, where he called modern popstars (except Kanye West) "c**ts" who don't deserve fame.

"Fame's wasted on these c**ts today. Bar Kanye. You watch him on the MTV Awards and you think, 'You can f**king stay, you're alright,'" he said.

"Does anybody give a f**k about what any of these current pop stars are up to? Who gives a shit what f**king One Direction do? Cocksuckers, all of them in rehab by the time they're 30.

"Who gives a shit what Ellie Goulding is up to? Really? Adele, what? Blows my f**king mind. It blows my f**king mind. Nobody cares! "

It wasn't just the popstars who found themselves in Noel's bad books though, as the guitarist also bemoaned rockstars, or rather the "spotty f**king herberts with guitars".

So if the likes of Royal Blood and Arctic Monkeys aren't cutting it (neither of whom we recall wearing eyeliner by the by) who would Noel like to see come to the forefront?

"F**king utter gobshites just being f**king headcases ." We're saying nothing.

Noel Gallagher Dominates Vinyl Sales In The UK

Gallagher’s High Flying Birds top sales of both albums and singles on vinyl during the first half of the year.

The highest placed album by a woman, or an act including women, is Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black, at No 18. The only other women or acts featuring women to feature in the top 40 are Courtney Barnett (Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit, No 23), Florence + the Machine (How Big How Blue How Beautiful, No 27), Fleetwood Mac (Rumours, No 29), Belle & Sebastian (Girls in Peacetime Want To Dance, No 36), Björk (Vulnicura, No 37) and Wolf Alice (My Love Is Cool, No 40).

The singles chart is even more skewed, with Gallagher and his Birds occupying the top three places, as well as No 7. David Bowie, meanwhile is at No 5 and No 6 , as well as No 10 (for a split single with Television’s Tom Verlaine released for Record Store Day). Florence + the Machine (What Kind of Man, No 14) and Courtney Barnett (Kim’s Caravan, No 17) are the only women in the top 20.
