Noel says nice things

Noel Gallagher has praised Coldplay and U2 in interviews with the Belfast Telegraph, calling Chris Martin a great songwriter and Bono sincere.

More comments from the very busy (in the making comments department) Noel Gallagher, who has been bigging up both Coldplay and U2. Must be the pain killers messing with his head.

On Coldplay, he told the Belfast Telegraph: "I listen to 'Violet Hill' and it's like The Beatles. I just think Chris Martin is a great songwriter. Liam fucking hates them - thinks their stuff sounds like Annie Lennox, but Liam can be a fucking idiot sometimes".

On U2, and Bono in particular, he continued: "I fucking love U2 and I always have done - I love the size of that band. Whether you like them or not, you cannot deny that U2 have written some great fucking songs. People will not accept that Bono is sincere - in this cynical age, they think he's really just a cunt. But he's not".
