Liam Gallagher has been up to his old tricks recently, serving up bon mots on social media as well as getting stuck into more rock'n'roll.
His new material has been touted as a return to the best form of his first outfit, Oasis, with debut solo single 'Wall of Glass' leading the way.
Recently, a video was shared online that showed the Mancunian meeting a group of youths on the streets of Dublin, ahead of his gig at the city's Olympia Theatre on Monday.
He pulls over to have a chat and a picture with the 'yoots', as he calls them. However, as his car door is about to shut, he stops it and asks if they've got tickets to his concert in the evening. They don't, so he gets them to jot their names down and suddenly they're on the guest list.

He's been getting about, and we're all for it.
This morning he was talking to Christian O'Connell on Absolute Radio when the subject of grime came up yet again. He's been asked before whether he'd consider getting involved in the grime scene - at this point he's yet to give a flat-out 'no'.
He took it a step further, though, when he rapped some lyrics while talking to Christian O'Connell on Absolute Radio.
Having explained that his youngest son, Gene, is a fan of the genre, Liam went on to reveal that he's got some grime-inspired verses in his locker.
"I don't want to do a jungle album but mate, I've got some grime lyrics at the moment, man," he said, before rapping: "Our kid said you ain't road, the only road you sweep is paved with gold."
"I've not really heard much about it," he continued. "My little boy, Gene, he's into the Skepta stuff - I'm playing some festivals with him so I'll check it out this year.
"Lennon, me oldest son, he's into all the classic stuff - Beatles and the Stones and that... And then Gene is a bit of a Who-head, but he's into this grime stuff."
This revived a story which began back in May, when the singer praised London rapper Skepta on Twitter:
He wrote: "Man like Skepta keeping it real got to stand for something as you were LG x."
The rapper responded, telling NME: "These people before me... Of course they're respecting - they're in touch. Liam's in touch, bro. You can see.
"We get it, and when we see people who get it, we know that they get it as well. I'm happy that I represent that."
Anyone up for LG hopping on stage with Skepta for a grime remix of 'She's Electric'? We're 'avin' that.
