February 21, 200620 yr From ContactMusic MOGWAI SLAM COLDPLAY AND BLUNT Scottish rock band MOGWAI have launched a scathing attack on Brit award winners JAMES BLUNT and COLDPLAY - because they attended the London music ceremony in person. Despite his vitriol for Blunt and Coldplay frontman CHRIS MARTIN, Mogwai guitarist BARRY BURNS praised teen newcomers ARCTIC MONKEYS for prioritising a gig in the south of England over the Brits last Wednesday (15FEB06). Burns says, "The Brits. First off let us say a big well done to the Arctic Monkeys for not turning up to the Brit awards and instead playing a gig in Portsmouth. Why would you go? I think you have to pay to go anyway, which is a joke. "And the KAISER CHIEFS won best 'rock act' which is just mental. They're not a rock band. I met one of them in Japan and he was lovely, if a little scared by my over-affable-drunkenness but they're no rock band. "Coldplay's Chris Martin hinted he may avoid the limelight. 'People are fed up with us and so are we,' he said. No s**t, f**kface." Burns saved his most cutting remarks for Blunt, saying, "I have spewed blood down dirty toilets with more talent than him. T**t." :rolleyes:
February 21, 200620 yr awww oh my god....if it was necessary for him to say that :lol: :lol: poor pooooooor mogwai
February 21, 200620 yr that was in a magazine or on internet? and i thought that cursing is forbidden... :angry: :stunned: :rolleyes: I mean, he could tell NORMALLY that he doesn't like Coldplay. :(
February 21, 200620 yr I can't even express how much I'm fed up with these kinda news. I could list zillions of slagoffs by different bands and musicians, and not just about Coldplay. Thanks for the info. It's good to know there are more and more pricks ;)
February 21, 200620 yr It sounds like he's just slamming them to make himself feel better. He sounds like such an @sshole :rolleyes:
February 21, 200620 yr Yeah, he's only having a go to get some of the limelight for his band (who I hadnt even heard of) that tells me that their music cant be that great if he has to slag off someone waaay more talented than his band. I would also guess that he's just tagging along on the press's rumours and dislike.
February 21, 200620 yr Ok seriously....i've never heard of them!!! :confused: :lol: Who are they!? (apart from complete twats?)
February 21, 200620 yr I was resisting googling them because that's probably exactly what they wanted.. but anyway. They're just some Glasgow based rock band in an indie label that no one really knows outside of Glasgow. (And maybe even then, not so much!) They're probably just fed up because the Brits didn't even glance in their direction.. :laugh3: Poor fellas.
February 21, 200620 yr :lol: Thanks! And you're right, it's most probably just pure jealousy talking. Fucking A-hole :rolleyes:
February 21, 200620 yr Hummmmm... could some random scottish band be after some publicity perhaps? :snore: :snore:
February 21, 200620 yr yeah... they're assholes..too much blabing. actually they never made more public apperance this kinda. but they make good music. ;)
February 21, 200620 yr Mogwai is a Scottish post-rock band formed in 1995 that has become one of the most influential and best known post-rock bands. They compose lengthy instrumental guitar-based pieces in the post-rock tradition, usually focused around the elaboration of a single theme, and known traditionally for their quiet/loud dynamic, defined bass riffs, and an eminently chilled out sound, sometimes dark and sometimes grand. The band were originally signed to renowned Glasgow indie label Chemikal Underground, but call a number of labels home, being distributed by different labels such as Matador in the US and Play it again Sam Records in the UK. They have also developed their own label called Rock Action Records, named after Stooges drummer Scott Ashton, who had his name changed to Rock Action. Their style has been influenced by such bands as The Cure, Joy Division, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, and post-rock granddaddies Slint. During 2004 the band were handed support slots on the tours of two of their heroes, the Pixies and The Cure. It has easily identifiable connections to genres like shoegaze, math rock, art rock, and occasionally instrumental metal. While Mogwai's sound bears little resemblance to punk rock, the band seems to identify closely with the punk ethic. Mogwai's influence on the indie rock scene can be heard in the work of Explosions in the Sky, Italians Giardini di Mirò, and most other contemporary post-rock. Mogwai are named after the creatures from the film Gremlins, although Braithwaite comments that "it has no significant meaning and we always intended on getting a better one, but like a lot of other things we never got round to it." [1]. The next Mogwai album is due in March 2006. It is titled Mr. Beast and returns to the heavier sounds of 1997's Mogwai Young Team. However, Mogwai has dropped most of it's "post-rock" crescendoing, and their songs develop more like rock, with direct hooks and lyrics. Mogwai produced the remix track of 'Plans' on the British group Bloc Party's 2005 album Silent Alarm Remix (Wikipedia) :D
February 21, 200620 yr i dont know what they're talking about. Apparently one of their songs actually samples "song from the Coldplay song book". I've heard it and still can't work out which song it is :lol: I'll upload it, see if anyone can guess! (got that info from NME a few weeks ago btw!)
February 21, 200620 yr Mogwai... slamming Coldplay? NO! NEVER! They've NEVER been cockheads before! ...Anyways that sentence was funny. "No sh*t f*ck face" :lol: Mogwai pretty much suck anyways and The Arctic Monkeys are pretty much the most overrated band ever. Whatev. :lol:
