Gallagher jibes at "grumpy" Arctic Monkeys

Noel Gallagher has continued his attack on the Arctic Monkeys, branding them "grumpy old men".

The Oasis guitarist has made numerous jibes at the Sheffield band since their rise to fame, and has continued this week with his latest criticism. As well as blasting the band's image, Gallagher expressed his concern over upcoming musicians copying the Monkeys.

He said: "Their public persona is now of a bunch of grumpy old men. I'm worried about what's going to follow in their wake. It's gonna be c**ts with guitars going: 'And me mum works down the f**king chip shop, she met a geezer' and all that."

Gallagher added his own views on the difference between the two groups: "Great pop music is not about real life, it's about how great life can be. Real life's s**t."
