LIAM GALLAGHER stunned peak-hour listeners all over the UK on Thursday night with an obscenity-strewn attack on The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The Oasis singer was speaking live on Radio 1's Evening Session at around 7.30pm to DJ Steve Lamacq when he launched into the vitriolic verbal assault on Britpop's elder statesmen, who, Liam claimed had been "slagging us off". At the same time he challenged all the veteran rockers to a fist fight.
"I'm gonna shoot me mouth off here, all these snakes coming out the closets, all these old farts, I'll offer 'em out right here on radio," the singer raged. "If they want to fight be at Primrose Hill Saturday morning at 12 o'clock. I will beat the fucking living daylight shit out of them, that goes for George, Jagger, Richards and that other cunt (Presumably a reference to Paul McCartney) that gives me shit. We've just done a cover of the Stones' 'Street Fighting Man' just to piss Keith Richards off cos he's been slagging us off.
"If any of them old farts have got a problem with me then leave yer zimmer frames at home and I'll hold you up with a good right hook. They're jealous and senile and not getting enough fucking meat pies. If they want to fight I'll beat them up."
Brother Noel joined in with an attack upon Paul McCartney's new classical album: "Sitting around with a bunch of old lesbians writing doesn't sound classical to me. I've written three classic albums."
Noel, when asked about his recent visit to Prime Minister Tony Blair's official residence at Number 10 Downing Street, retorted: "The only reason you'd want to go to Number 10 is to have a shit in the bog."
