Coldplay receives Q award for Best Act in the World Today: full transcript (cos alvin asked for it)
(credit: Q magazine)Chris Martin: Holy shit! (At his table Liam Gallagher mimes crying motions)
CM: Somewhere in the world, Alan McGee is having a heart attack. I don't know if you remember that, but he said that we'd never make it (the former Oasis manager's actial description was "bed-wetters"). And he was in a way right, because we may be the Best Act in the World Today, but probably not tomorrow. It'll probably go back to Oasis, to whom we'd like to show our undying love and respect, and fuck the tabloids, because they make our lives a misery. And you know what? We're not in a fight with anyone! Except George Bush and all those guys! (Muffled shouts of "Go Bush!" from the Oasis camp.)
CM: And I think Liam, even though he's been rude... he's charming...
Liam Gallagher: I'm being polite, knobhead!
Johnny Buckland (Coldplay guitarist): Thanks to everyone that's helped us out...
LG: Come on, have a pop!
CM: (Laughs) What did he say?
LG: You're a plant pot!
CM: What else am I trying to say?
JB: I don't know.
CM: We're not great at these speech things, but it's amazing to win this - there's Hooky (Peter Hook, New Order bassist) over there, there's Yoko Ono, who's something of a goddess, there's Richard Ashcroft (former Verve frontman), who's given us his respect, and that meant a lot to us, and there's all of you people... Some of you probably hate us, but I couldn't give a shit because we're the best act in the world!
(Applause)
