Liam Gallagher has hit out at U2 and other bands for trying to ‘claim rock’n’roll’.
The singer claimed that for the huge following U2 have, they have not delivered with their music.
When asked by NME if his new song ‘You Better Run’ was a challenge to the rock pretenders, Liam said: “That’s to every little s**tbag wannabe rock star who thinks they’re doing this rock’n’roll business a service, because there’s a lot of them out there that ain’t.”
He then took particular aim at Bono and his band.
“Look at the likes of U2… Even years ago they were going, ‘We’re coming back to claim f**kin’ rock’n’roll’ and all that nonsense,
“For me, they haven’t wrote any masterpieces – for a band that f**kin’ big, with all the f**kin’ stuff they’ve got at their disposal they should be writing masterpieces.
“They’re certainly no Beatles. It’s like ‘You’d better run, you’d better hide’ because this album’s gonna give you a f**kin’ clip round the ear or a kick up the arse.”
This is not the first time Liam has critiqued the Dubliners.
Last summer, when his brother Noel’s band was the opening act for the Joshua Tree tour, he tweeted: “Not scared of bingo and his naff band you can’t bull sh*t a bullsh*tter ain’t that the edge.”
In fairness, Liam’s never been known to hold back!
Meanwhile Noel Gallagher recently shared a hilarious story of how he struggled to keep up with Bono’s partying!
