Former Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher has slammed 'Animals' hitmakers Maroon 5 and revealed that he thinks their tattoos and rugged good looks distract people from their 's**t' music. 

Speaking to Vogue magazine recently, the star explained that they look good and focus on maintaining their image because their music can't really hold its own:

"If your songs are OK, then your songs will seem better if you look good--like those f**kwits from Maroon 5. The tattoos take your mind off the fact that they're s**t. OK? Right? But with Oasis, it was 'God those f***in' songs are great.' It's all about the music."

Despite criticising Maroon 5, Gallagher praised rapper Kanye West for being outspoken and 'otherworldly': "I like him because I think he's very very entertaining. I like his interviews--they're nearly as good as mine--and I liked the look of [his Brits performance]. I think it's best listened to with the sound down, though. I do like 'Black Skinhead'--I think that track is amazing--and I do like him because I think he's slightly otherworldly, but I wouldn't say I'm a super fan of his music."
