John Squire has compared Liam Gallagher to Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Sir Mick Jagger and Johnny Rotten.
The former Stone Roses rocker has a joint album with the ex-Oasis frontman on the way next year, and says his friend and collaborator is in the “same category” as musical heroes.
Sharing a clip of Liam performing, John said in the clip on Instagram and in the caption: “Liam Gallagher is one of the great rock and roll voices of all time. I put him in the same category as Dylan, Lennon, Jagger and Rotten.”
Similarly, days earlier, Liam shared a clip and wrote: “John Squire without a doubt the best guitarist of his generation and in the world in my opinion.”
Liam recently boasted that their upcoming collection is “the best record” since The Beatles' Revolver.
The Britpop legend and Beatles fanatic teased that it's better than the seminal 1966 record – which featured hits 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'Yellow Submarine'.
When asked if their 2024 album is true, he told X: “It's the best record since revolver (sic).”
When another user said it was a “big statement”, Liam replied: “What's coming your way is bigger, I'm humbled [redacted] everywhere”.
Liam had originally hinted on Twitter (before he became X): “Super team incoming LG JS. (so)”
The pair's union comes after Liam surprised fans by bringing John along for the pair of his Knebworth gigs last June to perform Oasis' 1995 classic 'Champagne Supernova'.
Speaking to Matt Wilkinson on Apple Music 1's 'Home Sessions' series, the 'Diamond In The Dark' singer confirmed the pair were set to collaborate 'at some point'.
He said, “Yeah. Seriously, man. But we've got stuff to do first, and he's got to clear that up, too. But yeah, I'll definitely do the summat sometime.”
Matt asked, “So you did the conversation a bit?”
Liam – whose return to Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire came 26 years after Oasis played to 250,000 fans over two nights at the outdoor venue – replied: “Maybe, yes. He probably did that at Knebworth and that, I think, if I can remember anything about it.
But no. There is talk of summat. It can. But no rush. He is my man, I love him. So if he's got tunes that need singing, I'm the boy, man. (so)”
