Liam Gallagher doesn't regret what he says in interviews.

The former Oasis rocker is known for being pretty outspoken as well as his iconic rants on social media, where he takes aim at everyone from politicians to his estranged brother Noel.

The Manchester rocker appeared Johnny Vaughan's 4-7 Thang on Radio X this week with John Squire to talk about everything from their joint album to their tour dates, and he was no less candid.

Asked if he ever picks over what he says in interviews and thinks, 'Oh Christ,' he said: "No. I don’t. No. I don’t VAR what comes out of my mouth man.

"Whatever comes out comes out and I live and die by it.”

Liam Gallagher on Jürgen Klopp's decision to leave Liverpool

Liam quickly proved that to be the case when he reacted to the news that Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has decided to step down from the role after this season.

The news broke this Friday (26th January) when and when asked his thoughts on the subject, he didn't mince his words, simply declaring in the Radio X studio: "Good riddance".

The life-long Manchester City fan added: "I've got nothing. Yeah, good riddance. See you later."

Liam Gallagher and John Squire's album is set for release on the 1st March and asked what can be expected from the record, the former Stone Roses guitarist simply said: "Greatness."

Talking about the inspiration behind his songs, he added: "It could be from the TV, something I’ve read in a book, a joke, a text from Liam, something I’ve seen outside.[…]There’s no entry policy for a lyric."

When quizzed on his favourite songs on the album, Liam Gallagher suggested there was a song for every mood.

“Well, obviously I like ‘em all and obviously different songs do different things. Some make you wanna kick someone in the shin, some make you wanna go out and party and then some make you want to sit at home and just have a good old think… and a little cry.

“For the one that makes me emotional ‘Mother Nature’s Son’ is a killer.”

“It’s absolutely beautiful and it sort of really stops me in me tracks and makes me think..”
