As expressive as he always is, Liam Gallagher fired shots at U2 frontman in a recent interview about the latter's work on the rock and roll scene.

Dave Grohl, the lead singer of the Foo Fighters, recently referred to the former Oasis frontman as "one of the last remaining rock stars," a description with which the former Oasis vocalist agreed fully.

Gallagher's comment, however, packs quite a lot of meaning. The same comment was revisited in a recent interview with Loudwire.

Liam Gallagher Says Bono 'Isn't Remotely Rock N' Roll'

Asked about his recent comments noting that "the rest of [rockstars] them are useless," the former Oasis singer did not hold back on his words.

Noting that not all of them are useless, Gallagher pointed out that some live "a very boring" life: "I think rock 'n' roll deserves a little bit more than just making music, you know what I mean?."

The 49-year old music legend then continued to drag U2 and its frontman, Bono, in the mix.

"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 f****** Bono, I mean I've never seen any of them do anything remotely rock 'n' roll," he continued.

Taking it a step further, the "Everything's Electric" singer shared his ideas on what it takes to be a rock star, stating that it is not "all about the music," but rather "all about how you carry yourself."

Gallagher believes that people only think that rock and roll "kind of sounds a bit silly and a bit stupid," but he furthered that it meant a lot to him.

Saying that he would rather be silly and stupid than be a "politically correct f****** idiot."

This is not the first time the former Oasis frontman has not minced his words on U2. In 2017, he said he would rather eat "crap" than listen to the iconic band.

The singer-songwriter is preparing to release his third studio album, "C'mon You Know," on May 27 this year. He also returned to Manchester to film a music video for some of the album's new singles.
