Rowdy Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher gave more than a great performance when his band were in Cardiff 10 days ago.
He gave one Welsh fan a forthright take on playing in the capital, life on the road and what he thinks of Welsh songstress Duffy.
The Manchester megastar said he enjoys coming to Wales “when you get in for nowt”.
Referring to the band’s trip over the Severn Bridge he said: “Yeah, I don’t know about that ******* paying to get in, but we got in tonight for nowt.
“We were stuck in traffic and the police came and helped us in, so that was nice.
“We had our money ready and everything but they just went ‘You’re all right’.
“Miracles do happen.”
He went on to tell Cardiff super fan Louise Davies that he “didn’t know there was a Welsh music scene” – even though his band was being supported at the Millennium Stadium gig by Welsh group The Peth.
“I’ve not heard the ******* Peth man,” the 36-year-old singer said. “I got here late.
“Nah, I do like Rhys, I like The Super Furry Animals and all that stuff.
“Stereophonics are cool and the Manic Street Preachers.”
He had harsh words for retro soul star, Grammy and Brit Award-winning Duffy.
“She was all right ’til she opened her mouth.
“The music’s alright, know what I mean?
“Until she did that ******* stupid advert and things like that.
“It’s ******* ridiculous.”
