Given their continued divide, it's probably not too surprising that Liam Gallagher recently had a different outlook after learning of the AI-generated Oasis music. While admitting he hadn't heard a full album, Liam copped to hearing some tracks and stated, "Mad as fuck I sound mega."

“Since the rise of the coffee shop, culture has disappeared. People are horrified that they have to pay for music! But $20 for two coffees, oh, absolutely. I haven’t got the brain capacity to process this.”
It’s not the first time that Gallagher has pointed the finger at coffee culture either. He told NPR: ““I blame Friends [for] the rise of the coffee shop. Since the rise of the coffee shop, culture has disappeared, don’t you think? People are horrified that they have to pay for music. Music! But $20 for two coffees, ‘Oh, absolutely’.
