Liam Gallagher prefers being a stay-at-home dad these days, but he’s not lost his rock’n’roll swagger.   "I can still have it drinking or whatever. But yeah, I’ve mellowed, but not in the sense of liking Radiohead or Coldplay. I don’t hate them. I don’t wish they had accidents. I think their fans are boring and ugly and they don’t look like they’re having a good time."   Liam doesn’t like any contemporary bands. “Not interested. I play the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, Neil Young, the Pistols.

Oasis star Liam Gallagher has attacked his brother Noel and Coldplay's Chris Martin for persistently whining about their struggles as famous song-writers.   Liam is furious Noel delayed their world tour by perfecting their latest album, Don't Believe The Truth.   And he advises his sibling and Coldplay - whose album X&Y was also delayed by writing difficulties - to spend less time complaining and more time writing if they want to meet their deadlines.   When asked what Noel and Martin talk a

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher tipped Coldplay to clean up at the BRITs - even joking they'd be crowned Best New Female, report the Daily Record.   The Oasis frontman made his prediction on Johnny Vaughan's Capital FM Breakfast show - on which Liam's All Saints wife Nicole Appleton was guest presenter. He first tipped Coldplay - who were up for four BRITs - for Best Album, saying: "I'd go with the Ting Tings, but who do you think'll win? Coldplay. They win everything. They'll even win the Best Ne

Perennial loudmouth Liam Gallagher has launched another verbal attack on Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, calling him a ‘knobhead student’ for restating his anti-war views at Coldplay’s Teenage Cancer Trust benefit show on Monday.   Speaking after his guest performance with Richard Ashcroft at the Royal Albert Hall, Liam accused Chris of speaking out about the wrong subject. He told The Sun:   "When Coldplay did this gig they banged on about the war, that's wrong. Chris Martin shouldn't be using

Mouthy Mancunian Liam Gallagher finds the sensitivity of Chris Martin's songwriting too much for his heart strings - admitting he'd surely slit his wrists if he listened to Coldplay. Or maybe it's just because he can't stand them; it's a tricky one.   Anyway, after rocking up last week to Jean Christophe Novelli's Hell's Kitchen for his free eats (and dutifully puking it straight back up again) the simian Oasis frontman was asked if he'd be joining his brother Noel at Coldplay's secret MTV gig o

For more than a month, there’s been a heated battle happening on the weekly Billboard albums sales chart, waged between 2008’s best-selling albums: rapper Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III and Coldplay’s Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends.   After Wayne’s latest debuted at #1, selling more than a million copies, Coldplay’s LP swooped in, knocking Tha Carter III from the top spot, where the rockers’ record stayed for two weeks. Last week, Wayne made a comeback, reclaiming the peak position.   Acc

US rapper Lil' Wayne has returned to the top of the US Billboard album chart with 'Tha Carter III'.   The rapper's sixth album has exchanged places with Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends', which falls to number two. There was a consolation for Coldplay, however, as the band’s fourth album went platinum in its third week.   'Tha Carter III' sold 156,000 copies in the last seven days, according to statistics from Neilson Soundscan. The album, which sold over a million copies in

Listen to the audio of Embrace's new single 'Gravity', written by Chris Martin here. Chris Martin originally wrote the song for Coldplay but as it developed it became clear to him that the song might be better suited to Embrace. As he explains, "We've always loved Embrace and Danny is one of my best friends.   When we wrote Gravity we thought it sounded far too much like them for us, but not too much like them for them, so I asked Danny if he wanted the song and that was that."Embrace have alwa

The media are calling it Coldplay bloody Coldplay. But yesterday the BBC were forced to apologise after Bono called Chris Martin a "w***er" and a "cretin" live on Radio 1.   The U2 frontman had just played the Live Lounge with his band and was speaking with Jo Whiley when he reportedly made the comment about the Coldplay singer. A BBC spokeswoman apologised for any offence the remark may have caused to listeners. "An on-air apology was made immediately for the language used," she said, adding th
