“Fuck right off. I’m not having him. I just don’t like his head.”

(Liam Gallagher mag Green Day Songwriter und Sänger Billie Joe Armstrong nicht wie er im NME verlauten ließ)

…womit sich auch eine gute Gelegenheit bietet auf diese sehr lustige Insider-Geschichte der Oasis-Trennung hinzuweisen: “FOOOOOOKING HEEEEELLLL SOMEBODY STOOOP HIIIIIIIM”

The papers quite rightly reported the fact that Noel stormed out from their gig in Paris a minute before they were due on stage because Liam smashed his guitar – but the whole 5 minutes the saga lasted were proper comedy. … weiter lesen

“No matter how hard they try they’ll always be squares. Even if one of them starts injecting heroin into his knob, people’d go “Yeah, but your dad’s a vicar. Goodnight.”"

Es gibt ja genügend Zeitgenossen, die Oasis-Konzerte “langweilig” finden, weil der Frontmann “immer nur einfach da steht und nix macht”. Die Liam-Gallagher-Bühnenperson ist aber natürlich in erster Linie eine Referenz an Ian Brown von den Stone Roses und wer will denn wirklich “Hey, Gräfenhainichen, are you ready to rock?” hören?

Dass Liam sich durchaus auch auf der Bühne bewegen kann, zeigt dieses alte Video von der Tour zum Be Here Now – Album (über das Bruder Noel übrigens im Rückblick mit den Worten “I’ve laid down better shits on the toilet” urteilte):

“Andy Bell? I think he sees himself as a bit of a Bill Wyman character. Sometimes I look at him onstage and think, “Is he actually moving?”. If I didn’t hear a sound coming out of his bass, I’d think Kraftwerk had put one of their robots there. I’ll walk across and he’ll go: “What a gig!”. Fucking hell, man, you need a rocket up your arse.” … weiter lesen

“Is Liam mental? Of course he is. Just look at his hair.”

“There’s no pride in going out looking like a destitute horse in high heels.”

“I don’t give a fuck what spotty, divvy little indie bands think about me. My peers are fucking Bono and Chris Martin and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. I don’t give a fuck about what some cocksucker from The Wombats thinks of Oasis, or anyone from the Last Shadow Puppets, y’know. I’m not arsed about them. They’re so beneath me it’s unbelievable.”

“I’ve got to say, Radiohead, I’m totally having it, until the little fella starts singing. And then it’s like this big anvil drops on your head and you’re just like “Fucking hell, sorry for enjoying that, you’re right, there are people dying in the world. I’m sorry about that.”
Here’s one thing about Radiohead I’d like to know: what does the tall fella do? What does he do? I know what little Thom is doing, I know what Jonny does, I know what Colin does, I know what the Samaritan does on drums. What do you do?”

“They’re [Radiohead] middle-class boys worrying about pushing an envelope somewhere, and all that carbon footprint and all that bollocks. Every time there’s a polar bear on his tiptoes on an ice cube in the middle of the Antarctic, you know whose fault that is? Rock stars’. That’s their fault. Any time there’s food running out somewhere– ‘Let’s do a gig. That’ll sort it out. Let’s do a big fucking gig. Let’s fly everybody in from all over the world and pontificate to poor people about how they should be saving the planet.’ Go fucking kiss my ass. It’s very easy to just say, ‘We’re going to become difficult now and challenge our audience.’ I like my audience. They paid for my swimming pool. I’m not fucking challenging anybody.”
