Liam Gallagher has taken it upon himself to debunk the assumption that rock stars live a wild life after being called one of the “last remaining rock stars” by Dave Grohl.

After Grohl listed Gallagher as one of the “last remaining rock stars” a fan asked the former Oasis member how he felt about the compliment.

“He’s correct the rest of them are useless [sic],” Gallagher replied to the tweet.

Gallagher was further pressed on his comment during an appearance on Loudwire Nights. While addressing the question the 49-year-old took an unexpected swipe at U2.

Love Music?

Get your daily dose of metal, rock, indie, pop, and everything else in between.

“I mean, not all of them are [useless], but the majority of them are. The ones that think they’re rock stars are not, they… just live a very boring fucking life, and I think rock ‘n’ roll deserves a little bit more than just making music, you know what I mean?” He told the publication.

“You gotta get out there and get yourself — you just gotta live an exciting life. It’s like U2, they pass themselves as a rock ‘n’ roll band, but what the? Come on, man, I’ve never seen fucking Bono, I mean I’ve never seen any of them do anything remotely rock ‘n’ roll.”

Gallagher went on to say that he thinks becoming a successful rockstar takes more than just talent.

“Without a doubt, I think attitude, a lot of people will go, ‘Oh it’s all about music.’ But I disagree, I don’t think it’s all about music. Obviously, you’ve got a certain degree of, your tunes have gotta be decent enough, but I think attitude goes a long way. But, people just think that rock ‘n’ roll kind of sounds a bit silly and a bit stupid, but it means a lot to me. I’d rather be that than fucking some politically correct fucking idiot.”
