Former Oasis songwriter complained about the selection of modern rock stars.
“Music now is style over substance. I find that these young people in the music game - they fucking look great, they’ve all got tattoos and the image and all that fucking bollocks but really they’re just shit, they’re not saying anything. The biggest-selling acts are shit, whereas when I was growing up the biggest-selling acts were the best acts. The biggest band in the world was usually the best band in the world. Now the biggest thing in the world is fucking Taylor Swift. What?! Fuck off.”
“There’ll never be another David Bowie, there’ll never be another Marc Bolan, there’ll never be another Freddie Mercury, proper rock stars. I don’t consider myself a rock star, I’m more of a songwriter/grafter, I mean proper flamboyant rock stars. There’ll never be people like that because musicians will never make that kind of money and the ones that do like Ed Sheeran, fucking whatever. There’ll be no more private jets or David Bowie rocking into King’s Cross Station dressed as a Nazi, they’ll be none of that any more, because people will be cowed by social media.”
