Despite his well documented love of all things Sixties, Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher has said he is not a fan of one of the decade’s greatest talents, Bob Dylan.

In an interview with The Times newspaper, Gallagher described Dylan as ‘miserable’, but did reserve some praise for his 1969 track ‘Lay Lady Lay‘ which features, like its album ‘Nashville Skyline‘, Dylan singing in a more relaxed, softer tone than usual.

“I know all about him and that, but he’s a bit of a miserable **** as far as I’m concerned,” Gallagher said. “I like that tune he did ‘Lay Lady Lay’. People go nuts for him, but he doesn’t really do it for me.”

Later, the ex-Oasis man reiterated his ambivalence towards new music, declaring: “There’s nothing new I want to listen to. I’m not interested. I don’t listen to things, because you know what? I’m living in the moment. It’s like, that was a great moment. Now get over it. There’ll be another one tomorrow.”

Beady Eye are set to perform their first gig in Russia tonight (June 2nd), at the GlavClub, St. Petersburg.
