Nicky Wire - who, for younger viewers, is a bit like Lily Allen but more feminine - has always been dependable when it comes to providing funny, accurate and acerbic assessments of the careers of fellow popstars and institutions.
He once advocated building a bypass over Glastonbury while he was actually on stage at the festival. He compared baggy bands to Hitler, which, in the wake of The Twang, does not seem like such an irrational line to draw. He also said some nasty things about Michael Stipe that Boy George did not find very funny.
Anyway, he’s been at it again, this time offing his mouth in the direction of Snow Patrol, surely one of the most dreary and pointless bands of all time. Seriously, if the question was posed, “should we close down the music industry?”, Snow Patrol would be our first answer in the column marked YES OF COURSE WE FUCKING SHOULD.
Nicky’s take on the band is more blunt:
“There’s something utterly shit and deplorable about them. It’s a desperate form of music: the endless repeated lines over and over, the same drab fucking little thing.”
Now that - if you discount any ‘pot/kettle/boring’ accusations that might be levelled at the post-Richey ‘Manics’ - is what we call spot fucking on.
Hurrah!
