Liam Gallagher attacks Calvin Harris as he brands DJs ‘the new accountants’
The singer also appeared to rule out an Oasis reunion.
Liam Gallagher has launched an attack on DJs, singling out Calvin Harris by branding him “the most boring f****** person”.
The Oasis star dismissed the notion that the people behind the decks have become the new rock stars while he has been away from music.
Gallagher said new music feels bland because the industry is now filled with careerists who keep their mouths in check.
He said: “I think people are starting to realise what they’ve been missing.
When asked whether he sees himself as the greatest living rock icon, Gallagher, who is soon releasing a solo album, responded: “Others have said it and I do believe they’re not f****** wrong”.
The singer also admitted he contemplated quitting music following the demise of Beady Eye, the band he formed with the rest of Oasis after that group split.
He also expressed his frustration that Oasis fans think he is the reason the band split up, saying: “It pisses me off because I was, and still am, Oasis through and through.
“The way the band ended was very planned out. Don’t believe for one minute that it just happened like that [following a fight before a gig in Paris].
He added: “They knew what they were doing. Our Kid having little meetings with Paul Weller. ‘How did you get out of The Jam?’. And with Johnny Marr. ‘How did you get out of one of the biggest bands in the country?’.
“It was all marked out and dickhead here walked right into it, which is fine. There’s no time limit on the truth coming out. People are clocking it now anyway.
Gallagher also appeared to rule out a reunion, saying: “Getting Oasis back together now would only be for the money; it wouldn’t be for love.
“And as far as I’m concerned, it meant more than just getting a cheque. I don’t need the money and I’m sure he doesn’t either, so it stays put until we both come to an agreement that we like each other. At the moment we f****** do not get on.”
