Bono has been having a go at rock rather than pop.
We're used to artists slagging off pop bands, but Bono's told us there have always been manufactured artists and he's fine with that.
However, the U2 star reckons rock bands are letting the side down by not being creative enough:
"I'm not cross with the pop stars or boy bands or girl bands or teen bands. I'll tell you what I'm cross with -- I'm cross with rock bands, because they're not imaginative enough, they're not dealing with the 21st century very well."
"Hip-hop is more innovative, though there is the sense that that might about to change with the White Stripes, the Thrills, with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club coming along..."
