Liam Gallagher Slams Today's Brand Of Rock Stars

(Radio.com) Britpop's prickly elder statesman Liam Gallagher recently lashed out at what he sees as in authenticity in current rock music. The Oasis star feels strongly that today's rock stars care too much about appearances to really make great music.

"I love music as much as anyone," he said in an interview with an Irish radio station, refusing to name names. 'What I see going down is that I'm just 'leave it out mate, you can do better than that'. I can't tell a guitar band from a pop band these days. They've got guitars around their necks, but I don't hear guitars.

"You hear all these bands saying that they're coming back to save guitar music - but I might not be the smartest tool in the shed - but I know you've got to put a guitar on a record to save guitar music, and I don't hear any guitars.

Liam has a theory about why the unnamed rockers wear guitars. 'They've got guitars around their necks because they go with their shoes." Read more here.
