Even though the front man from Coldplay has been branded a “wanker” by Bono, Chris Martin insists that there is no rivalry between the two bands: “We never started any rivalry, because we are fully aware that we are a number six band. We are not even number two. We are always very thrilled when someone even bothers to compare us, but we are 23 years behind them and they are in a way different league.” That’s it, go ahead! Kiss the ass of the one who kicked you in the gut! I wouldn’t have imagined Chris Martin to be so low on self-respect. Sure, you’d expect Bono to act all high and mighty, given his career a certain amount of smug becomes greatly predictable. Too bad Chris Martin had this reply. Still, it would be fun to see Oasis and U2 getting into a conflict like this. Just imagine the fireworks that would result! When that much amount of smug gets into close contact… anything can happen.
