Jon Bon Jovi has taken a swipe at British music stars Oasis and Robbie Williams, claiming they "couldn't fill a bar".

The Bon Jovi frontman says rockers Oasis are arrogant without substance, while Robbie's music is so bad he "couldn't even sell 500 tickets".

He said: "Robbie Williams? That guy couldn't even fill a bar. He couldn't sell 500 tickets.

"Oasis couldn't fill a bar either - and they're full of themselves."

The 45-year-old singer also blasted notorious Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty, claiming he hasn't even heard any of his music.

He added to Glamour magazine: "We're not familiar with Pete Doherty in the US other than his antics and the fact that he's always in trouble - I've never heard a single one of his songs."

Jon also launched an attack on English soccer star David Beckham, who recently moved to the US to play for Los Angeles Galaxy, suggesting he is "past his prime".

On Saturday night (09.01.07) Jon threw a lavish party at his East Hampton home.

Guests included Bruce Springsteen, Sir Paul McCartney, Billy Joel and former Pink Floyd star Roger Waters.



That was pretty rough, but funny.

right on, Bon!

ew he’s so gross! and what a shame that is- remeber how hot he used to be on ally mcbeal?!

Pretty funny coming from a guy thats famous for his hair. 

So true toonces!  LOL!  He’s got a lot to say for someone who stands on stage by his puffy faced, beer belly, addicted to whatever, guitarist Sambora….WHO has played totally fu*ked up on stage more than once in concert.

Do agree with him on Doherty, however…

He of all people has the nerve to criticize Oasis?

who does he think he is?

What’s funny is him calling Becks “past his prime.” Projecting, much? I will say JBJ has had good work done though.

Funny, Robbie sang to 375,000 people at Knebworth in the UK a few years ago.

Bon Jovi is rock music for lesbians.

Too right Jon! Other than in the UK (where I’m from) no-one cares a damn about these people. Jon continues to sell out stadiums all over the world!

Go Jon!!! I hate robbie, beckham, oasis and pete “famous for being a druggie”.

Anyway popular does not always equal good. Usually the opposite. Bon Jovis voice curdles my blood.
British music has a certain quality about it that americans dont get, its usually to smart or challenging. Unless the video has girls in it grinding around an ugly rapper who, without money wouldnt get any girl, they dont want to know.

Williams made it to The Guinness Book of World Records when 1.6 million tickets were sold in a single day shortly after he announced his World Tour in 2006….
bon jovi… you should check your stats first. plus william’s album rack up tp 53 million albums sold worldwide… so yeah

Exactly, JBJ and many of his countrymen seem to think that not big in the US means not big, period. NOT true, the US is only 5% of the worlds population!

What a bitter cranky old man.  My God.  Robbie Williams might not be his style, but he’s an idiot if he thinks Robbie’s not bringing in bank.

That’s awesome!  When people get old they don’t give a fuck anymore.

Im a Bon Jovi fan, I think he looks great for 45yrs old..and he puts on one hell of a show…

You are all screwed in the head.  that man is more talented than all of them put together.  Over 20 years people.  half of you arent’t even 20 years old and don’t know what real music is! You all suck!

Jon Bon Jovi is a cunt

can a man ‘be’ a cunt? i thought they were ‘dicks’?

just sayin.

First of all rovex, “Americans” understand good music.  Not all American music is shit, and not all British music is the best in the world (I actually agree with him about Oasis, they suck). I happen to like music that makes me think.  And I liked the Libertines. Babyshambles, not so much.  That said, everytime I see Jon Bon Jovi, all I think of is that horrible line from one of his songs “I’ve seen a million faces…and I rocked them all.”  No, JBJ, you haven’t seen nor rocked this face.

Bon Jovi Forever!!
jon is STILL sexy!

Too much hairspray in the 80’s. Bon Jovi ONLY became famous because of him being “cute” (so they say) and very little to do with their music which was mediocre at best.  A few truly good tunes, but very few. Talk about over rated…Jon Bon Jovi is at the top of the heap.

Oh and by the way, I’m 38 and was around during the Bon Jovie heyday.  Even bought their first record…it was mostly all downhill commercial crap after that IMO.

john was pretty much on point about ALL of them.

Oasis is waaay over and self-destructed b/c of their egomania.

Pete…i have NEVER heard a babyshambles song. yes, we only know him b/c he’s kate’s walking zombie crackhead lover.

Becks IS over the hill for a pro soccer player, which is why he left Europe b/c he can’t hang with the 20 yos over there. he’s still better than most US players b/c the good Us guys are playing in Europe…as long as he’s not injured.

Robbie Williams is huge in Europe but only a minor MINOR blip on the US music scene.

basically, the a lot of Brit entertainers who are huge overseas have a lot of trouble crossing over the pond and having the same level of fame here.

Bon Jovi is apparently US all the way, esp. when mentioned in the same brethe as Bruce and Billy…something about those Jersey boys, they hate those dirty Brits apparently!

that said, i’d totally let JBJ put the tip in. but he better not touch my hair products!

toones…that shit was hilarious

“did richie feather his pubes?” omg, heather totally did not appreciate that…probably b/c richie stole all her aqua net to style his manscape LMAO!

I know jon bon jovi is a bi who denies it everyday and looked like a total chic back in the day. But he can sing. And he does have soke talent there. I don’t think he is past his prime. There is not a prime for musicians and artists. Just jock boys and girls playing ball for a living. And cattle…errr i mean models.

JBJ’s still hot even though he’s five foot nothing!

Those Brit artists still draw more ticket sales than JBJ’s arena football team.  Maybe he’s just jealous.  :o

Didn’t realize JBJ was such a graceless, arrogant prick.

Bon Jovi is overrated.

Bon Jovi is a HACK !  His music is third-rate monotonous junior high school crap !  Given the choice between Oasis and BJ, I would absolutely choose Oasis.

Ok who said it was ok for 90 year old F-lister’s to go around paying out people who are far better than him?

Maybe the tool should google robbie, then he would find out that despite the amerians not latching onto robbie (because he’s not american, too)

“Williams made it to The Guinness Book of World Records when 1.6 million tickets were sold in a single day shortly after he announced his World Tour in 2006.

He is currently the most successful male artist in the world, for the period 1998-2007, according to the United World Chart, and the third artist overall behind Madonna and Britney Spears.”

While the american teenage population once again ruined everything by not taking bald-skank-who-is-an-unfit-mother and 80-year-old-repulsive- leotard -gap-tooth out to a field and… “disposing”... of their white-trash bodies, you can see that the rest of the world is quite sane and knows what good music is.

Unlike fugly skeketor dude who needs to pay out people with actual talent to get some attention these days.

All respect for Jon Bon Jovi is dead. Although, seeing how tight his pants are and how he bleaches his hair, he should have had none in the first place.none in the first place.

you go jon BJ - love you!!! love the pit hair too!

That goes to show you how delusional this old “rock star” is.

And I agree with the “rock music for lesbians” thing.
