Kasabian 'Not Arsed' About Cracking America Like U2 and Coldplay

Kasabian have said they're “not arsed” about trying to crack America after their latest album bombed over there.

The band's wishy-washy third album 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' entered at the lowly position of 98 on the billboard chart.

This, coupled with the fact the band are to lazy to tour the breadth of the States, is enough to put Tom Meighan off.

"I'm not arsed about it. The record went straight to Number 98, which is shit. No one but Coldplay and U2 are breaking America.

"To break America, you have to tour, and that takes a lot of time," he told The Sun.

People do care about what american think, Sue, because only the best bands can do it. It's important as in the U.S charts, it is nearly always dominated by americans which isn't the case over here as we have a lot of U.S artists dominating our charts. To do well and gain popularity in the U.S, you need to be really good, and the fact is that the Kasabian album isn't that good. Coldplay and U2 are jewels to be proud of, and they have gained a lot of respect by other american artis
