Oasis' Noel Gallagher has described Marilyn Manson as a “cool geezer” - but was less kind about the performer's music.

In an interview with MTV, Gallagher said he liked “everything” about Manson, “except his music”.

“I’ve got to say man, he’s a cool geezer,” Gallagher said.

The Oasis guitarist also gave similar praise to Biffy Clyro, calling them the UK's equivalent to the Foo Fighters. “They’re real top geezers,” he added.

Oasis release their new album 'Dig Out Your Soul' today. (October 6th). Their UK tour will begin tomorrow in Liverpool.
