THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Kasabian are spoiling for a fight - Serge thinks pop is better when there are battles:
"Back in the 1960s bands used to take the piss out of each other constantly. Keith Richards and Pete Townshend were always slagging things off, trying to outdo each other and make better albums.”
Is this the same Kasabian who were sobbing at the weekend because people thought they were rowing with the Kaiser Chiefs?:
"It's horrible when stories are blown out of proportion. Ricky will know those quotes are rubbish. People just want to create a feud that doesn't exist."
But Serge, surely it'd mean you'd both make better albums, right?
Apparently Kasabian only want to rumble with people they don't ever meet - they could get a blog for that, you know. People like Franz Ferdinand:
“I can’t imagine Alex gives a shit about his band in the way I give a shit about my band. I don’t see the passion – it’s just fashion and trying to have hit singles. If I walked up to him in a boozer and said Franz Ferdinand are shit, he’d probably agree.”
If a knuckle-scraping troglodyte came up to me in a bar and suggested that my mother serviced the male hell demons with oral pleasure, I suspect I'd agree with them. Nevertheless, let's just be delighted that Kasabian are all about the passion - the passion, for example, you get when you bank a cheque for knocking out a pisspoor Bowie cover in about five minutes to be used as a football TV theme. You can't put a price on quality, but oh boy, did ITV put a price on mediocrity with that one.

Don't you get the feeling Serge thinks about Franz Ferdinand a lot more often than Alex Kapranos thinks about Kasabian.
