Noel Gallagher has hit out at The Rolling Stones saying that the rockers shouldn’t be taken seriously.

The mono-browed Oasis lynchpin has ridiculed the aging rockers for what he believes are unfounded claims that each album is better than the last.

Gallagher hints that The Stones are past it and will never produce tracks up there with their heyday.

He told Maxim: "The Stones said that every time they put out an album they think it's their best and they can't understand why people don't take the new records as seriously as the old ones.

"Well, you're old age pensioners. By all means make records and go on tour, because if people want to see you, fine, but don't expect to be taken seriously. Your best work is behind you."

Sounds a bit like Oasis too that Noel.
