"I thought that the people on the stage might want to be a little bit aware that they don't look like Jay Z's minions," Gallagher told Rolling Stone. "Madonna was pretty cool the way she cocked her leg up on that desk and signed the \[declaration\]. I think ultimately with the spiel they came out with, it was like, 'Do these people think they're the fuckin' Avengers? They're going to save the fuckin' \[world\].' 

"I was speaking to Chris \[Martin\] the day after, and I said, 'Are you after a Nobel Peace Prize? Is that what you're after?' They were like, 'We're going to fuckin' save the music business.' And I'm just sitting there, thinking \[imitates smoking weed\] you might want to write a decent chorus for a fuckin' start. Never mind fuckin' royalties and the 'power of music.' Write a tune. Fuckin' start with that," Gallagher added.
