Liam Gallagher has responded to Dave Grohl calling him “one of the last remaining rock stars”.The Foo Fighters frontman teamed up with the former Oasis singer for the latter’s recent solo single ‘Everything Electric’, which came out last month.

Grohl co-wrote the song and plays drums on the studio version.During a recent interview with NME, Grohl praised Gallagher and spoke about how the track came about. “Unfortunately we didn’t do it in person but I love being in the same room as Liam,” he began.“It’s like putting a fucking quarter in a juke box and just turning it up with that guy.

It’s fucking great. Obviously, he’s an amazing singer and he’s a fucking rock star. He is one of the few last remaining rock stars.”Earlier this month, a fan on Twitter asked LG how he felt about receiving such high praise. “He’s correct the rest of them are usless [sic],” he replied.He’s correct the rest of them are usless— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) March 4, 2022Later, Gallagher elaborated on his initial response while speaking to Loudwire. “I mean, not all of them are [useless], but the majority of them are,” he said.“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?

You gotta get out there and get yourself — you just gotta live an exciting life.”LG then turned his attention to a certain Irish group. “It’s like U2, they pass themselves as a rock ‘n’ roll band, but what the?” he continued. “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 U2 should’ve gotten “into a bit more naughty stuff” if they.
