Liam Gallagher has launched an outspoken tirade against his fellow singers who have had to check into rehab due to drugs problems.
His comments come after a number of high profile celebrities have recently attended The Priory clinic to tackle their addictions, including Keane front man Tom Chaplin, Pete Doherty of Babyshambles and Justin Hawkins, former front man of The Darkness.
The Oasis singer branded Doherty and Chaplin as "posh lightweights" while boasting of a life "as wild as you can imagine" in his band's early days.
"None of us have ever been in The Priory, like all these little idiots today. They have one little line, they have one burn and they're all in rehab," he ranted.
"That Pete Doherty is cabbaged already. And it's like, 'How old are you? Priory at 27 years of age? You idiot'. Posh boys can't take drugs, man. They're lightweights."
Smugly praising the antic of Oasis, he added: "[The early days were] as wild as you could imagine. It was living life on the edge. There were no safety nets.
"But we weren't Guns n' Roses wild because we're a different kind of band. All these bands who are rock 'n' roll are just daft. We never fell over drunk and all that because we like our clothes too much."
No wonder Gallagher is feeling so smug at the moment; Oasis are about to release their greatest hits album and it was announced last week that the band will receive an outstanding contribution to music award at next year's Brit Awards.
