Former Oasis star Liam Gallagher has accused Radiohead of copying The Beatles.
He also takes one of his many swipes at his brother and former bandmate Noel in an interview with Q magazine, and admits he now takes care of his voice to avoid cancelling gigs.
Liam told the magazine he fails to understand the appeal of Radiohead.
"I mean we've all written songs like Creep, y'know, them classic songs. Karma Police is alright, but it's The Beatles, innit?" he said.
Liam has also revealed he is finally succumbing to age - by exercising his voice before gigs.
The frontman, who now leads his band Beady Eye, previously scoffed at the idea of warming up ahead of shows.
He said: "I remember having a chat with Roger Daltrey. He was going, 'Oh you should warm up". And I'm like, 'f*** that'.
"I was young and I was like, I'm not doing any of that nonsense'," he said, mimicking practising a scale.
But he said as time went on he has had to "bite his tongue" and now warms up - without "any of that la-la-la nonsense", instead sitting with his guitar for half an hour before going on stage.
The brothers have been in a renewed round of hostilities since the summer when Noel talked about the row which led to him walking out of Oasis.
Asked which figure he has met who has the worst taste in music, Liam said Noel was "into a lot of s***" and "into himself".

Given oasis are just an overrated beatles tribute band themselves, Gallagher shouldn't be making comparisons like this
Radiohead like the Beatles? All that money and no sense. Exercise your voice if you must but you need to learn to exercise your brain.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz
Ohhh the irony of it!!
Pot/Kettle anyone?
Look around Liam it's 2011 not interested in the 60's or you MUPPET. An embarrassment to Mcr, without his brother he would be nothing. At least Noel is funny and makes sense, this kid is a Burnage dummy.
He's right, they started off making decent guitar pop tunes then went weird.
Hahaha you couldn't make it up! What a plonker!
Look dad no tunes
beady eye needs a bit of publicity because there not selling i think.what a total tool the man is.
exercise your legs and do one, you've made a living out of ripping off The Beatles
I'm suprised. I always believed the Beatles copied Oasis?
Brilliant... former lead "shouter" of Beatles tibute act, falsely accuses "talented" band of doing exactly what he made a living out of... what an absolute tool this lad is!!
Trying to drum up publicity for his crappy band by slating others,grow up you plank it's not the nineties anymore....
haha my mate thought he looked dead trendy in some sort of suede shirt thing, we asked him how much it was and he replied £115 from beady eye, tbh it looked like a £3 shirt out of a charity shop,
funny comment from a man who has no real identity himself. Hismum should have called him lemon gallagher he thinks hes Lennon.
Any stupid comment for publicity eh?
Not only has this bloke ripped off the Beatles for the last 18yrs...but he's made it a double by doing the same to Andy Pandy!
You can't make this up, can you? Is there another band on the planet, more of a Beatles clone than Oasis were? They were like the bad copy, moron version.
