Liam Gallagher On The New Generation Who Look To Him For Inspiration

Liam Gallagher Gallagher has told the new issue of Q on Stormzy, Skepta and Wiley lead a new generation who look to him for inspiration.

"It's cos I don't give a fuck, and I'm cool, and I've been in this fucking game for 20 fucking years or whatever it is and I've not had my head turned by some fat cat in Sony or Warner Brothers or the wrong people. I've kept it together. Yeah the wheels come off every now and then - that's life, that's what it's about. I think it's because I'm pretty much the same guy I was 20 years ago".

Liam Gallagher Wants Skepta To Support Him At Finsbury Park

Liam Gallagher wants Skepta to support him on the line-up for his upcoming headline show at Finsbury Park.

Speaking about when Oasis headlined Finsbury Park, Gallagher said: “I loved that gig, man. It was really fucking dangerous and I liked it. So hopefully we’ll have a bit of the same.”

He was also asked about who else would be performing across the two stages, Gallagher replied: “It can’t all be 90s stuff, man. We’ve got to mix it up a bit. I’d like to get Skepta playing, have something a bit different.”

Liam Gallagher On Why He Won't Wear Shit Clothes And Become Prime Minister

His witticisms would make great soundbites at Prime Minister’s Questions but Liam Gallagher says he will never turn his hand to politics because he thinks the House of Commons “stinks of tofu, cigars, coffee and s*** aftershave”.

The former Oasis singer and prolific Twitter user won’t be using social media to try to lead the country, a la Donald Trump.

“Me, as PM?” he says, “God no. Not even if you paid me, mate. You’ve got to wear s*** clothes haven’t you to be PM?

“Can you imagine me stood there in my parka and that? You’ve got to wear a stupid suit and that’s so not for me.

“Imagine what it smells like in the House of Commons . All those tofu-eating, coffee-drinking, cigar-smoking... I bet they’ve all got s*** aftershave and all the birds have s*** perfume. I bet it stinks in there. Not for me.

“You know when there’s people snoring and stuff when you’re trying to get your point across? I’d lose my s*** in there.”

Liam has previously said he enjoys watching PMQs so much he tapes episodes of it saying: “I like it! Where they all just go like that, ‘Rahrahyahyah’. I find it funny.”

However, he was not invited to Downing Street when his brother Noel attended Tony Blair ’s Cool Britannia party back in 1997.

Defending Trump’s Twitter usage, Liam tells Mashable: “He’s got the right to use his s*** as much as everyone else doesn’t he?

“If you’re going to single one person out you might as well close the whole thing down. And what would I do in my spare time then, eh?”

Liam made use of his Twitter account following his night out at this week’s Q Awards, where he collected two gongs at London’s Roundhouse.

He praised Skepta, whom he’d been locked in conversation with at Warner Music’s afterparty at Primrose Hill pub The Engineer, describing their chat as “a meeting of the minds... a bumping of the ears”.

Liam Gallagher On Life, Noel, Oasis, Skepta, America And More...

Liam Gallagher was interviewed by Zane Lowe yesterday and spoke about a number of subjects including Oasis, Noel, Skepta, Manchester, Ed Sheeran, on his album 'As You Were' and more.

On banter between him and Noel 

"We don’t do it for the money, I did Oasis to make music and get out of Manchester and see what was going on out there. The most important thing that people keep missing is that me and our kid don’t speak and thats the saddest thing about it, two wrongs don’t make no right. So before Oasis get back to together and before this cheques knocking about, me and him need to start becoming brothers and friends again, and inevitably we’ll start making music. So there doesn’t matter how many noughts are on the end. I know you’ve heard it a million times, but its not about the money. We were the real deal."

“I don’t care about getting Oasis back together. He prods me and I prod him. I’m letting him know that I’m still here. I’m right here, I ain’t going away. I’m back and I’m here. For me music is about having a laugh, life is about having a laugh and everyone seems to be making a tune, thing a cheque and going back to their big houses. I find it funny taking the piss out of my older brother who thinks his s*** don’t stink. I find it funny."

On breaking America

“There’s a lot of great bands that don’t make it here. Its just one of those things. Maybe we were a bit too radish for them."

On Ed Sheeran

"He is talented. I don’t know much about him but he is talented.”

What do you do when your not out there doing what your born to do 

"I moan, kick things, spit at things all sorts of things, swear a lot, kicking like a fence or an iron gate. I drink a lot, eat a lot, get fat, go for a run and try to chase squirrels to lose it again"

On 'As You Were'

Apparently its something to do with the military when you stand for attention. For me its back to doing what I do. As you were, back in business whether its successful or not. I am back to music and singing songs, so, as you were"

"I don’t see myself as a writer, I see myself as a singer first. I’m still learning, when I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror I just see a rock n roll singer with a dash of punk, and loads of charm. I don’t see myself as an Ed Sheeran or a Bod Dylan.”

On the last four years

“I needed time out. I had to get away from music. The last 4 years have been hell. I had to go cold turkey and get away in a room away from music. The only time I’ve really had off is the past 4 years. Its been good to have a bit of time off, get back for reality, go for walks and do stuff. You can’t be on stage all the time. I got my relationships back with my kids, all is good in the world. I’m bored of that now, I’m ready to get back on stage and do some screaming and shouting.”

“If you want to come and hear Oasis music done properly, come to my gig. Our kid (Noel) is doing them like Dolly Parton."

On choosing a Skepta track

“He’s doing well, apparently its the new kind of thing. Everyone keeps comparing me to him. He’s the talk of the town out in England right now."

Skepta Responds To Praise From Liam Gallagher

Skepta has responded to praise to Liam Gallagher, after the former Oasis frontman spoke out for the grime star. Watch our video interview with Skepta above.

NME spoke to the grime hero at the Ivor Novello Awards in London, where he won ‘Songwriter Of The Year’. It has emerged that Gallagher is also a fan, after he tweeted: “Man like Skepta keeping it real. Got to stand for something.”

Responding to the praise, Skepta said: “I feel like the Earth is a re-print of a re-print of a print of a re-print. There are people who take on different objectives and missions in life. When you grow older, there’s a a void – and right now I’m filling a space where a lot of old rock, grime, hip-hop, punk artists left a vacant space. Everything has gone about the internet, everything has gone about the likes, everything has gone about social networking. I still have that…I can’t even put my finger on it, but I still have it.

“I like that these places I’m taking of the people that I respect and these people before me…Of course they’re respecting – they’re in touch. Liam’s in touch, bro. You can see. Not everybody really knows what’s happening. It’s a presence, it’s apparent, I’m here. You can see it in there eyes, you can see it in Bowie’s eyes when he takes a photo, rest in peace. There are so many of them.”

He added: “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. Thanks to my mum and dad for giving me the right tools of life to get to this point.”
