Noel Gallagher’s been having a go at Alex Turner as well as Ed Sheeran within the last few days. Please keep going, Noel, because you’re on a roll and it’s VERY MUCH AMUSING US.

Although we doubt Alex and Ed are quite so impressed.

DID YOU SEE?

Now, here’s what Noel has to say about Alex, and it involves petrol.

You have to give Noel credit: he makes himself very clear, and he’s bloody funny, too (we’d also like to make it clear that we are also big Alex fans, and are mere bystanders when Noel goes to town like this. Altough, we’re also big fans of Noel going to town, so).

Noel told the Evening Standard that he would rather “drink petrol straight from the nozzle" than listen to the Arctic Monkeys frontman being interviewed.

"There is a lot of s**t pop music these days that's just devouring everything at the minute. I'm hoping that will come to an end.

"There doesn't seem to be any characters any more. When you have proper characters, the music sort of becomes secondary - it looks after itself. Look at bands like The Smiths and The Jam - all great characters.

"Is it any coincidence that all the indie labels got bought up by the major labels and things have started to get boring?"

So, Noel’s slagging off Alex’s interview skills – not his music. Got it? Good.
