Liam Gallagher claims new album with John Squire is “best record” since The Beatles’ ‘Revolver’
Liam Gallagher has discussed his highly-anticipated upcoming album with The Stone Roses guitarist John Squire and claimed it’s the “best record” since The Beatles released Revolver in 1966.
Gallagher, who invited Squire to join him on stage at Knebworth in 2022, first discussed plans to make music with the former Stone Roses member last year. However, at this stage, they were yet to enter the studio, but that seems to have changed recently.
Talking to Matt Wilkinson for Apple Music 1 in 2022, Gallagher previously commented: “Yeah. Serious, man. But we’ve got things to do first, and he’s got things to clear up and that. But yeah, I’m definitely going to do something at some point.”
“He’s my man,” Gallagher added, “I love him. So if he’s got any tunes that need singing, I’m the boy, mate.”
Following a recent report in The Sun which stated the album was set for release in 2024, Gallagher has addressed the speculation and responded to questions by fans about the LP.
When one asked whether the album is due next year, Liam responding by comparing it to a Beatles masterpiece: “It’s the best record since revolver”. Meanwhile, when another described his Revolver comment as a “big statement”, Gallagher said: “What’s coming your way is bigger I’m being humble it pisses all over it.”
Liam is also set to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album Definitely Maybe by touring the LP in its entirety on a UK arena tour next summer. The run of dates sold out within minutes and includes four dates at the new Co-Op Live venue in Manchester, which will be the largest arena in Europe.
Meanwhile, Noel Gallagher recently accused Liam of attempting to “rewrite history” and claimed the last year of Oasis was a “dreadful” experience.
Speaking on the ABC programme Take 5 With Zan Rowe, Noel said: “That last tour was not happy. Nobody was happy at the time. The other fella is trying to rewrite history that it was all fucking great. It wasn’t all great.”
He added: “It was a fucking dreadful last year of Oasis in 2009 or whatever it was. It was a terrible, terrible time. It had come to an end, you could kind of feel it. It was time to move on.”
