I was just gonna say that The Courteeners are rubbish, but i'm more articulate now i'm a bit older so here goes. Basically i'm a manchester lad and i usually champion most music that comes out of my hood, but everything that's being said about The Courteeners is not true. It's all just hype and lazy journalism, IF you know anything about that. If you do then good, if you don't then maybe you should read more (tony wilson RIP). Anyway read these here things:
1. They are nothing like Oasis and will NEVER be as good or as big as them. The only similarity between the two is that the lead singers have the same name and both have silly haircuts.
2. They don't sound like The Smiths, they don't have Johnny Marr's inimitable guitar playing for a start, although most Courteener fans won't have a clue what i'm talking about as they're too young to know about The Smiths. Also Liam just wants to be Morrissey, and become a poet by just "writing songs about words in the dictionary" - his words not mine kids, just read their NME interview if you don't believe me. That just shows how stupid and thieving he is if he has to use a dictionary to write lyrics.
3. He also wants to be Pete Docherty, and incidentally, the only band that they DO sound like is the Libertines, or at least a cheap copy. This is the one and only reason that they're getting any attention because the public have been crying out for another libertines since they split, apart from me that is. And believe me, they'll last just about as long if they're lucky.
4. Sadly that's it, as i can't talk about The Courteeners anymore without feeling sick, but i think i've given you the idea already. And yes, The Courteeners ARE indeed rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish..........
