Nick Cave on Red Hot Chili Peppers:

“I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
More insults here, some childish, some offensive and the odd really funny one:

I liked
Elvis Costello on Morrisey. Waspish, and to the point.
Nick is not wrong
Thirty years in the biz and still telling the same tired joke..
Not Nick obviously.
I like ...
... "To be fair, Eric Clapton is terrible too. Awful, insipid, soft rock for old ladies."
Most of those insults are hilarious.
Most of the content is true, i'm afraid. Plenty of hypocracy yes, but bucketfuls of fact.
David Lee Roth
is so very many shades of wrong.
I noticed a couple of examples of the insulter picking solely on the appearance of the clearly more talented insultee. Says a lot.
Not a music journo are you?
.
heheh
No. But I look like one.
'He looks like Zorro on doughnuts'
Noel G on Jack White. Some of these are just crude insults without wit. This however is hilarious and genius. Perhaps he should give up music and just write a bitchy column or blog.
Anton Newcombe..
(The single most talentless person I've ever seen anyone pay attention to)
His comment was simply heinous.
Noel's was 5 star insulting.
Agreed.
Pretty obvious the guy's mentally ill though.
In no way defending...
...Mr. Newcombe, but in the comments below the main article a journalist explains the context of his statement.
Personally, I thought Mark E. Smith's bile towards Mumford & Sons was pretty funny, but then I'm no fan of the part time beard growers.
Hadn't read the comments
- good spot. So him and EC have saying incredibly offensive things whilst drunk in common!
Typically puerile musician 'insights'
Actually I was struck by how lacking in wit they were. Many of them were not much more than 'he's really ugly.' 'She's a terrible singer'. I know we're in a place of small minds when questions such as 'what has (insert name) ever really done' are asked. In the case of Eric Clapton it's a really silly question irrespective of whether you like his music.
Rock music is an industry where adolescent reactions and ideas are celebrated. It results in emotional and intellectual puerility.
Thought Nick Cave's was quite funny though.
There's no excuse for the Clapton comment
It's not even a proper insult.
Today in the Guardian, Flea
Today in the Guardian, Flea describes Nick Cave as the greatest living songwriter.
I'd imagine he's in on the joke.
