Liam Gallagher: '1D Are Beady Eye's Biggest Rivals'

Liam Gallagher has stated that X Factor success storyOne Direction are his band Beady Eye's biggest competition in the music industry.

During an interview withOasis frontman expressed his admiration for what Harry Styles and Co have achieved, but was keen to add that he's not a Directioner quite yet.

Gallagher claimed: "Who's my biggest competition? One Direction. I'm not into their music.

"Fair play to them, man, they got lucky - like we all do, I guess - and they're just going for it. That's what it's all about, innit?

"It's all going to end at some point. And when it ends, you want to make sure you've ticked all the boxes."

Liam recently told The Mirror that like 1D, Beady Eye will be appearing on the new series of The X Factor, where they are due to perform on one of the live shows.

Last week, Gallagher also had a dig at brother Noel during an interview with MTV News UK - where he claimed that in his new band, "there's no Hitler."
