Alan McGee On Noel Gallagher Reforming Oasis

The 56-year-old Scottish businessman famously signed the 'Supersonic' rockers to his Creation Records label after seeing them perform one gig at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1993 and after they released their debut album 'Definitely Maybe' in 1994 they went on to become the biggest band in the world.

The group eventually imploded in 2009 due to a huge backstage bust-up between warring brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher which resulted in the 49-year-old guitarist quitting.

The pair have barely spoken since, but Liam, 44, has admitted he has offered an "olive branch" to Noel and would return to the band in a heartbeat, however, the 'Don't Look Back In Anger' songwriter has spurned his offer of reconciliation and didn't attend either of the two premieres for the new Oasis documentary film 'Supersonic'.

Alan is sure Noel - who has released two successful solo albums - is finished with Oasis because he doesn't want to "spoil" the legend of the group.

Asked if Oasis will reunite, he told NME: "Do you mean with Noel Gallagher? Absolutely zero. I don't think Noel will ever reform Oasis, ever! I can't see Noel Gallagher going back and doing it. If anything came out of that film ('Supersonic'), it was that it's done, it's finished, don't spoil the f***ing legend."

Alan thinks there could be a time in the future where Liam performs under the Oasis name again without Noel and it will be great.

He mused: "When he's a bit older I think Liam will probably reform Oasis and he'll sell 10,000 tickets a night singing Oasis tunes and he'll be happy with that. It would be OK with just Liam."

In the wake of Oasis, Liam formed Beady Eye with Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock but they disbanded in 2014 after two albums.

The 'Songbird' singer is currently recording his first solo album which is set to be released next summer and Alan is sure it will be a fantastic record.

Speaking previously to BANG Showbiz, the music industry legend said: "Liam is a genius. He's a good enough songwriter. He wrote a lot in Oasis and he was unlucky with Beady Eye - their song 'Flick of the Finger' was great and he wrote that. I know that dude he will come back and he will come back and come back big. I love Liam!"

Alan McGee On Liam Gallagher's Solo Album

Alan McGee has opened up about what he expects from Liam Gallagher's debut solo album - hailing him as a great songwriter and his past work as 'as good as anything that Noel's ever done'.

McGee, who first signed Oasis to Creation Records in 1993, was speaking to NME about Liam's upcoming debut solo album - and how it might be likely to compare to the two already released by brother Noel Gallagher.

"It'll probably be very good," McGee told NME. "This idea that Liam can't write songs is bollocks. He wrote a song called 'Flick Of The Finger' for Beady Eye and it was as good as anything that Noel's ever done. This idea that Liam can't write a song is fucking bullshit."

When how much he thinks Liam is likely to 'experiment', McGee replied: "I think it will be Liam. The press will probably fucking hate it but they hate everything anyway. I don't think people care any more. Music's judged by social media now, not by The Guardian."

Noel Gallagher Discusses Oasis Fan Reactions To 'Be Here Now'

Below is a video that Noel Gallagher discusses fan reactions to 'Be Here Now'.


'Be Here Now' Chasing The Sun edition out 14th October 2016.

Blur's Alex James Would Like Nothing More Than To See Oasis Reform

Singer Alex James says he would like nothing more than to see Oasis reform because the band still has much more to offer. And the band’s own Liam Gallagher agrees, as he is willing to bring it back from the dead if only his older brother, Noel, would put their differences aside.

The Blur singer, whose own group split in 2003 and subsequently bounced back in 2008, is hoping that his former rivals would work out their brotherly problems someday.

Alex told Yahoo Celeb: “I really do hope they do get back together. It’s a wonderful thing. When you’ve got something that’s so important in your life it’s really horrible to be estranged from it really.

It is kind of heartbreaking. It would be a shame to think it was lying dormant or it was never going to happen again. It’s a really precious thing, it’s a craft and it would be a disaster to think it would go to waste.”

The singer’s desire to see an Oasis comeback may come as a surprise to fans, considering the two were once huge rivals. However, he is positive there is nothing short of mutual respect nowadays.

When asked whether he ever runs into Noel or Liam, he revealed: “Yeah occasionally, I think both bands sort of really earned each other’s respect in the end. I certainly respect them.”

Noel Gallagher And Barry Gibb Have Made Plans To Go For A Curry

Barry was shocked when the 'Don't Look Back In Anger' songwriter made a beeline for him to reveal he's a big fan of his group the Bee Gees and the pair are going to go for an Indian meal in London.

The 'Night Fever' singer told The Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Noel Gallagher told me he always listened to my music. That to me is staggering. Because in the period when Oasis became big, we were gone. That was not our time.

"We're going to go for a curry. We can talk about what it was like being in a band with brothers."

The Bee Gees were comprised of Barry and his late younger siblings Maurice and Robin, while Noel was in Oasis with his younger brother Liam Gallagher before he quit the rock group following a huge bust-up between the pair in 2009.

Following their backstage hook-up at Glastonbury, Noel, 49, took to his Instagram account to upload a picture of him and Barry together and described their meeting as the "highlight" of his weekend at Michael Eavis' annual event at Worthy Farm in England.

He captioned the image: "Just got back from Glastonbury. This was THE highlight for me. One of my favourite songwriters of all time. BG and NG. (sic)"

Barry - who has sold more than 220 million records worldwide during his career - was thrilled to be asked by Chris Martin to join Coldplay on stage for their record-breaking fourth headline slot and he was touched that the crowd knew his two songs 'To Love Somebody' and 1977 disco classic 'Stayin' Alive'.

He said: "I was a nervous wreck ... but it was nice that people knew the songs."

Liam Gallagher Backs #IAMWHOLE Campaign On World Mental Health Day

Liam Gallagher has backed a mental health awareness campaign to mark World Mental Health Day 2016, which takes place today (Monday, October 10).

The #IAMWHOLE campaign was launched with help from Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks, who has recorded the song 'Whole' (scroll below to watch video) for the NHS-backed anti-stigma campaign. The campaign, a partnership with youth charity YMCA, hopes to raise awareness of mental health issues suffered by young people.

Celebrities such as James Corden and Ed Sheeran have backed the cause so far, sharing photos of their hand with a circle drawn on it. Now Oasis frontman Gallagher is the latest to join the campaign.

Liam Gallagher recently "held the olive branch out" to brother Noel Gallagher, saying that he wants to repair their relationship for the sake of their mother.

Liam told The Sunday Times: "Obviously [our mum would] like us to be chatting, sit around the table at Christmas. But it’s a stupid standoff, and we should know better, as we have kids. It would be nice for me and [Noel] to get back together as brothers. But it’s good, the standoff. I’m enjoying it. I ain’t backing down. He ain’t backing down."

"At least people are still talking about it. They’re obsessed," he added. "There’s no harm in it. He says shit about me. I say shit about him. I have held the olive branch out, and there has been nothing, so there you go. Potato it is, mate."

Another On This Day In Oasis History...

The video below is from October 10th 2005, when Oasis collected the Best Album and the People's Choice Award at the Q Awards in London.

On This Day In Oasis History...

"Cigarettes & Alcohol" is a song by Oasis, written by Noel Gallagher. It was released as the fourth single from their debut album Definitely Maybe, and their second to enter the UK top ten in the United Kingdom, peaking at #7 (three places higher than "Live Forever"), eventually spending 35 weeks on the charts, re-entering the Top 75 on several occasions until 1997. The single was released in the UK on October 10th 1994

Background

Whereas earlier singles "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker" had used psychedelic imagery, and "Live Forever" used softer chords and tender lyrics, "Cigarettes & Alcohol" was the first real taste of the wilder attitude that Oasis appeared to be promoting. The song proclaims the inherent appeal of cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs as a remedy to the banality and seemingly futile nature of the working class life. Lyrics such as "Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?" taps into the common sentiment of western disenchantment that was particularly common in the mid-1990s.

Upon first hearing the song, the man who discovered the band, Alan McGee, claimed that the song was one of the greatest social statements anyone had made in the past 25 years.

Contrary to the sleeve notes, which claimed it was recorded at the Glasgow Cathouse in June 1994, "I Am the Walrus" was actually recorded at a soundcheck for a gig at the Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland on 6 February 1994, as part of a Sony Music seminar. The reason why this wasn't mentioned on the original sleevenotes is that Noel thought mentioning the fact that it was recorded at a corporate event would "look shit". The crowd noises at the beginning and end of the track are from a Faces bootleg of Noel's.

The single is the first Oasis release to feature the inclusion of a song not written by Noel Gallagher.

Noel in the Lock the Box interview says "I remember writing it in my flat in Manchester, and two guys used to live above me, and in those days, being the fucking geezer that I was, I used to write on the electric guitar with my amp in the fucking room, in a block of flats, on ten, and one of the guys passed me on the stairs and said "You're not gonna fucking write a song to that riff are you? That's fucking rubbish" and I was going "Listen fat arse, that's gonna be fucking amazing when it comes out"."

Noel has also said of "Cigarettes and Alcohol", "That song keeps getting better and better for me."

Noel claims that when they released "Cigarettes and Alcohol", he realised how big they were going to be. He said in an interview that "that was the moment when we realised we should belt up, it's gonna get a bit mad from here on in."

Robbie Williams On Oasis' 'Supersonic' And Liam Gallagher's Solo Album

Taken from a interview that Robbie Williams did with The Sun, the full interview can be found here.

I ask if Robbie has seen the new film Supersonic which covers Oasis’s wild early days and when Robbie famously left Take That in 1995, and was photographed partying with Liam and Noel Gallagher at Glastonbury.

“If it’s on a flight then I will watch it. That was a f***ing amazing time. High-octane stuff.

“Where were you while we were getting high? Well I was there — but I pushed it way too far. Things like that show everyone having an ace time but not the hangover.

"So yeah, I’d watch it on a plane but not if it reminded me of the hangover as I’ve been trying to get sober ever since.

“Liam was the voice of our generation and the soundtrack to our lives and the music industry needs a Liam.”

I ask Robbie what he thinks of Liam as a solo star as his debut album is coming next year. Could Robbie, Liam and Noel be battling it out for Best Male at a Brit Awards night?

“For competitiveness I don’t think I’ve got anything to worry about,” he smiles. “But if Liam gets the right songs, in 12 months time he could push my competitive nature and I could be p***ed off.

"Right now I just want him to make a really great album. The world misses him and I hope it is brilliant.”

Noel Gallagher On Oasis' 'Be Here Now' Tour

Below is a new interview with Noel Gallagher who talks about Oasis' 'Be Here Now' tour.

Noel Gallagher On Writing Oasis' 'Supersonic'

Oasis guitarist-songwriter Noel Gallagher remembers the spontaneous creation of the band's breakout single "Supersonic" in a trailer for upcoming band documentary Oasis: Supersonic. "Someone had sent out for Chinese or fish and chips or something – or Chinese fish and chips," Gallagher says. "I went in the back room, and as bizarre as it sounds, wrote 'Supersonic' in about however long it takes six guys to eat a Chinese meal."

The band recorded and mixed "Supersonic" that same night during sessions for their 1994 debut LP, Definitely Maybe. Released as a single, "Supersonic" became a minor hit in the U.S. and U.K. – and fans immediately latched onto the track, singing the lyrics during concerts.

"We'd done gigs before that and there were people coming along because they'd read about us in the press, but nobody knew any of the songs," Gallagher says. "On the day that 'Supersonic' came out – bang, the crowd were right there. And I remember people singing the lyrics to 'Supersonic.' They're singing your words back that you'd nonsensically wrote down at fucking 3:00 in the morning."

Oasis: Supersonic, directed by Mat Whitecross, will hit American theaters only on October 26th. The film blends archival footage with newly recorded interviews, as showcased in a pair of previously released trailers. "Oasis was like a Ferrari," singer Liam Gallagher declares in the first clip. "Great to look at. Great to drive. And it'll fucking spin out of control every now and again."

Liam Gallagher Threatens To ''f*** Off Forever'' If His Solo Album Is Unsuccessful

Liam Gallagher has threatened he might ''f*** off forever'' if his solo album is unsuccessful.

The 43-year-old singer songwriter - who embarked on his solo career after he split from the band Oasis because of a feud with his brother Noel - has admitted he will disappear off of the music radar if his upcoming LP isn't a hit.

Speaking to the Metro newspaper, he said: ''I've done the Beady Eye thing and that didn't come off and I thought maybe I'll just have a break, but I wrote these songs, and I thought, what else can I do? This album if it does well we crack on and do another one.

''If it doesn't [laughs] I don't know what I'll do. I probably will f*** off forever but we'll see.''

Despite quitting the group seven years ago after a public spat with Noel, the rocker has admitted he would like to rekindle his relationship with his sibling because he thinks there's nothing else to do but reunite.

He explained: ''As long as you're still breathing there's always a chance. Obviously I'd like to do it 'Cos there's a f*** all else to do. In the meantime a solo record will have to do.''

Betting Has Been Suspended On A Oasis Reunion Taking Place In 2017

The Britpop band split in 2009, with rumours of the group reuniting circulating ever since. Last week saw bookmakers slash the odds of Oasis reforming while former guitarist Bonehead added that he'd "be there like a shot" if a reunion seemed likely.

Now bookmakers Betway have suspended all bets on a 2017 Oasis reunion. The company's Alan Alger has said of the decision: "Our traders were put on red alert after a significant number of maximum stake bets at 5/4 for Oasis to reunite in 2017 were placed. It’s a niche market to bet on, so it was immediately flagged up and the decision to suspend any further betting on the band getting back together was taken."

"If the betting activity has come from sources ‘in the know’, then it would seem we could well be on for an Oasis reunion next year. We’ll now just have to wait and see, and I’m sure there will be millions of fans with their fingers crossed!"

The Libertines Carl Barat On Collaborating With Noel Gallagher

In an exclusive interview with Carl Barat of The Libertines, he talked to kulbritania.com about the likelihood of a future collaboration with Noel Gallagher and what the Manchester band meant to him.

We asked Barat that during the making of their third record there were rumours Noel Gallagher wanted to produce the album which finally never materialised we wanted to know if The Libertines would like to do something with him one day to which he replied:

"Yes, definitely. We'd like to do something with Noel. I suppose it was hard for him because we were recording in Thailand at the time. We love and respect Noel and we'd like to do something with him one day if he wants to, of course" and went on to add what Oasis meant to him when he was growing up:

"Oasis meant a lot to me. That's why I respect Noel and Oasis so much like I do because they were literally an Oasis in the middle of a lot of crap at the time. Oasis had this old school, rock n roll attitude which was great really. They were very inspiring. They were a very important band in my life for sure."

Liam Gallagher Backs Sons To Be Next Oasis

Liam Gallagher has backed his sons to start a band and become the next Oasis

The 44-year-old singer's 17-year-old son Lennon - Liam's child with first wife Patsy Kensit - can play guitar and has a great singing voice.

Lennon's 15-year-old half-brother Gene - whose mum is Liam's ex-wife Nicole Appleton - is a talented multi-instrumentalist and can play guitar and drums and Liam is backing them to following in his and his brother Noel's musical footsteps.

However, the 'Roll With It' hitmaker insists no matter what his kids may go on to achieve they'll never be able to match their dad's globe conquering group.

Speaking about Gene's talents at a screening for new Oasis documentary 'Supersonic', he told BANG Showbiz: "Geno's better than me man, I actually think he's a better drummer than guitarist, but as long as he's doing something creative that's OK I'm happy with that."

He added with a grin: "He and Lennon could do (start a band) if they wanted to, but they'll never be as good as Oasis!"

Proud dad Liam recently posted a photo of Gene playing guitar and pulling his best rock star pose on his Twitter account along with the words "get in there my son".

Previously discussing his sons' talents, Liam said: "I'd recommend life in a band to anyone. It's the best gig in the world, man. Gene is up in his room drumming every day. Oh, mate, he loves it. Lennon does guitar lessons and fancies himself as a bit of a singer ... Lennon's a massive Who fan. It's got nothing to do with me, he's just obsessed with 'Quadrophenia'."

Their cousins Sonny and Donavan - Noel's lads with spouse Sara Macdonald - are also being encouraged to get not music by the songwriter.

However, all the Gallagher kids rarely see each other due to Liam and Noel's ongoing feud which was sparked in 2009 when the guitarist quit Oasis.

And Noel, like Liam, wouldn't discourage his lads from starting a rock group together but he's not going to help them.

When once asked if he would advise against his sons Donovan and Sonny choosing his career path, Noel said: "No because we were f***ing great, you know what I mean. I don't know if you heard but we sold like 70 million f***ing albums. I can't teach anyone because I just kind of magicked it up. So my lad has got a drum kit in his bedroom and a guitar, I don't know what he's trying to do, both of them at the same time or something. He's also left-handed which is slightly annoying. My theory is that if we have musical instruments lying around the house then they will just pick them up. I don't say guitar lessons today from three until quarter past. If they do it they do it and if they don't they don't."

Liam Gallagher: The Oasis Film Will Give You Orgasms

Liam Gallagher says the Oasis documentary is so good it will give audiences "multiple orgasms".

The film - directed by Matt Whitecross - charts the rock band's incredible journey from a council estate in Manchester to global success, culminating in their two historic concerts at Knebworth in August 1996 which were witnessed by a total of 250,000 fans.

Liam says anyone who watches the film will be left in a state of ecstasy, especially if they are fans of his former group.

Speaking at a screening of 'Supersonic' at the Vue Cinema in London on Sunday night (03.10.16), he told BANG Showbiz: "I think anyone who watches it will know about Oasis, no one's going to come away and be like, 'Wow, f***ing hell.' They know what it is, I'm sure people will enjoy it if they're into the band, I'm sure some people will f***ing hate it. There's lots in it, but if you know Oasis and you're into that kind of thing you're going to have multiple orgasms ... Oasis were what we were, we were great and we were s**t at the same time. It was an emotional ride man, I think that it was rocking."

Liam, 44, and his estranged brother Noel, 49, gave hours of interviews for the project talking about all of the on stage and backstage antics of the 'Wonderwall' hitmakers - who split in 2009.

The singer admits he was shocked by how much footage there was of the band's early days because back in the 90s no one was walking around with a camera phone in their pocket to capture their antics.

He said: "There was a lot that I didn't remember, the bits that I didn't know were filmed I was like, F***ing hell!' I was pretty surprised that there was that much footage because back in them days we didn't have camera phones and all that, you know what I mean."

Although he enjoyed looking back at the early years of Oasis, Liam insists he doesn't get nostalgic for those times because every moment of his life is glorious.

The 'Songbird' songwriter said: "I did enjoy looking back at it. But I think life is glorious, every day is a f***ing glory day, whether you're making music or picking flowers. But yeah I enjoyed looking back at the band, it was incredible."

Video: Liam Gallagher Interview On Solo Album, Oasis, Noel Gallagher

Today we interviewed Liam Gallagher at the premiere of Supersonic, the documentary on the rise of one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands of our time: Oasis. Directed by Mat Whitecross, the film takes an in-depth look at the often tumultuous relationship between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, two of the finest rock stars this country has ever produced; Supersonic opens with the formation of Oasis in 1991 and culminates with their record breaking gig at Knebworth on 10th August 1996 – 20 years ago.

Liam Gallagher told us that “the thought of being solo [still] does not to do it for me”, however he is making the record “for himself” and “to pay the f*****g bills”. When asked about his brother Noel, who in the movie admits Oasis would have not gotten off the ground without his voice, he sayid: “That’s probably the truest thing he’s ever said.”

Liam Gallagher Reveals He'll Perform Oasis Songs Live At Solo Shows

Liam Gallagher has revealed whether he will perform Oasis songs when playing live around his upcoming solo album release.

The former frontman of the Britpop band had previously denied that he would go solo, arguing that he wouldn't do so because he is "not a c**t". However, it was later announced that he has inked a deal with major label Warner Bros for a solo LP, coming in 2017.

Gallagher's post-Oasis band Beady Eye initially decided against performing Oasis hits live, eventually introducing a handful of the Britpop group's songs into their set during in 2012.

Supporting The Stone Roses at Manchester's Heaton Park that year, Beady Eye performed 'Morning Glory' and 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' for the first time.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Liam has now confirmed that he will perform Oasis songs live when he makes his return.

"[The songs] belong to me as much as to [Noel]," he said. "He wrote them, but I raised them." Gallagher went on to say that he will open sets with 'Don’t Look Back in Anger', the first Oasis single to feature lead vocals from brother Noel.

Elsewhere in the interview, Liam said of his solo record: "I can only say it’s sounding promising." He also acknowledged fan doubts over what the music might sound like. "There’s disbelief, without a doubt. That spurs me on. It’s like when people body-shame someone, and two minutes later they’ve got a six-pack," he said.

"I’m not a media darling, so people go, ‘He can’t write songs.’ And maybe I can’t, but what I’ve got is good. It’s a bit of everything. A few are a bit 'Working Class Hero', which suits my Rolls-Royce. And garage-rock psychedelia, in your face. There’s a song I like called 'Over' — acoustic, faraway voices. Cool. I think it will put a few people in their place."

“The main thing is, the voice is sounding delicious," Gallagher continued. "It’s still banging it. Then there’s nice falsetto bits. Bit chilled."

Liam Gallagher 'Ready' For Oasis Reunion

The younger Gallagher brother says the band should never have split up - but can't resist having a pop at his brother Noel.

Liam Gallagher has said he is ready for an Oasis reunion - but will not go "cap in hand" to brother Noel to make it happen.

The band's ex-frontman said that the band should never have split up in 2009 and that his "bags are packed" if the opportunity arises to get the group together again.

He told Sky News: "If it happens tomorrow, I'm ready, my bags are packed. If it happens in a year, I'm still ready, if it happens in 10 years, I'm still ready.

"But there'll be no cap in the hand and no banjo, you know what I mean? A little f****** skinny, stringy dog outside his house going 'please sir, I need a f****** band, mate.

"If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, it f****** doesn't, we move on."

Speaking at the launch of Supersonic, a new documentary film about the band, Liam, 44, could not resist a dig at his older brother - who did not attend the screening.

He said: "He won't be here - he's in one of his really, really, really, big houses, probably eating tofu, while having a f****** face peel, ain't that right, man of the people?"

Wearing his trademark parka jacket, Liam admitted to missing his older brother "without a doubt".

But he also accused him of "ruining" his Oasis career.

He said: "He just wanted to do this thing, there is a lot of angst there. For someone to ruin my Oasis career to further his own, we have got to get past that a little bit."

Supersonic - made by the team behind award-winning documentaries Amy and Senna - charts the formation and rise of Oasis.

Following the group through the early '90s, the film includes commentary from family and unseen archive material.

Liam Gallagher Says F*ck Oasis At The Screening Of New Movie Supersonic

Liam was in Manchester for a special premiere of the Mat Whitecross film, which is released in cinemas on October 7.

Liam Gallagher was back in Manchester to celebrate the release of the new Oasis rockumentary Supersonic - but he couldn't resist taking the opportunity to have a swipe at his big brother.

In a post-screening Q&A that was beamed live to over 300 UK cinemas, the younger Gallagher kept the fires of sibling rivalry burning when he was asked why Noel wasn't at the Manchester screening of the new Mat Whitecross movie.

He replied: "He's probably in his big house, eating tofu and having a face peel. That's what posh people do."

On fine four-letter form, Liam answered questions about his favourite memories of the early years of Oasis and whether the film - a collection of amateur home movies, concert footage, archive interviews and new chats with the band - had jogged his memory.

Liam, 44, said that he was surprised the director had managed to turn up so much footage because "I don't really like having cameras" around, and joked that his friends must have been secretly shooting it "under cover".

"They must have been ****ing sneaking it," he said. "When anyone whipped a camera out in those days I shut up shop."

Supersonic focuses on the band's early years, from the moment Noel joined Liam's band up to their record breaking gigs at Knebworth in 1996, when they became the biggest rock band in the world.

But it also touches on more challenging personal moments for the boys, including their difficult relationship with their father, Thomas, and the reasons for the tensions between the brothers.

Whitecross said he had deliberately chosen this period because the first few years for any new band are always the most 'interesting and unique'. He also praised the brothers - and especially their mum Peggy Gallagher - for their generous contributions to the film.

Liam's bandmate and the group's rhythm guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs was also in the audience and was eventually beckoned on stage by Liam to join in the Q&A. The pair shared a hug before bantering with each other about their feelings about the film and time in Oasis.

Liam teased Bonehead about his outfit, asking him if he'd been to expensive Northern Quarter mens fashion shop Oi Polloi. And he even tried to help a fan chose a name for her new baby girl, answering: "Elsa, how about that?", then changing his mind to Noleen.

Inevitably, Liam was also invited to answer questions about what he was up to next. His solo album "will be out when it's out", he said, and at one point he remarked, "F*** Oasis" - which might just confirm he has no intention of restarting a band with the brother he repeatedly calls 'the potato' on social media.

Liam Gallagher Is Not Sure If Oasis Will Ever Get Back Together

Liam Gallagher has claimed if Oasis got back together they would put the likes of Kanye West and X Factor winners “to bed”.

Donning his traditional parka jacket and waving the standard two-finger salute to photographers, the Oasis frontman also revealed he misses his estranged brother Noel.

The 44-year-old was in London’s Leicester Square for a special first screening of a new documentary called Supersonic which details the band’s meteoric rise to stardom.

Speaking to the Press Association, the Mancunian said he is “not sure if Oasis will ever get back together”, adding: “You will have to ask the little man.

“I am ready to go, my bags are packed, we shouldn’t have split up – you know what I mean?

“For someone to ruin my Oasis career to further his own, we have got to get past that a little bit.”

Asked if he missed his brother, who he has been at loggerheads with since 2009, the long-haired Britpop icon said: “Yeah, without a doubt.”

Liam also said Oasis were not the greatest band ever, adding: “We were one of them – definitely. And we still are.

“If we got back tomorrow it would be business as usual. Regardless of whether we are living in a Kanye world or a f***ing X Factor world, we’d put them all to bed I think.”

Supersonic documents the formation and rise of Oasis, from their council-estate beginnings to their record-breaking performance at Knebworth.

Created by some of the team from award-winning documentaries such as Amy and Senna, the film provides unprecedented access to the band.

Following the group through the early 90s, the documentary includes commentary from family and unseen archive material.

Liam said the two-hour film “brought back memories” and that overall he is “quite happy with it”.

He added: “I like it, it is raw, it’s not flash – it’s good. I like the bits I’m in.”

An avid football fan, particularly as a diehard Manchester City supporter, reacting to the Daily Telegraph’s probe into alleged football corruption, which resulted in former England manager Sam Allardyce leaving the role by “mutual agreement”, he said it was “pure greed”.

Pressed on who he would like to see fill the position, he said he “isn’t a big England fan”, adding: “Gotta be English man, I think – Gareth Southgate, why not.”

Director Mat Whitecross, the man also behind Road to Guantanamo, said he “grew up with the band” and was a “massive fan”, admitting it was “amazing” to work with the brothers.

“Given the fact they have fallen out and they didn’t want to speak to each other, actually from a filmmaking perspective it was probably better because it meant we could interview them separately,” he added.

Revealing it was “difficult” to get hold of some of the earlier footage, he also said it was “hard” obtaining film from their first year.

He added: “Luckily, for whatever reason, every time there was a particular incident, whether it was their visit to Japan or when they tried to break America and blew it all up because of drugs, for some reason someone just happened by chance to have recorded that night.”

The documentary is out on general release from October 7 in 380 cinemas across the UK and Ireland.

Liam Gallagher Compares His New Music To The Work Of John Lennon

Liam Gallagher has discussed his upcoming solo album in a pair of new interviews.

The former Oasis frontman had previously denied that he would go solo, arguing that he wouldn't do so because he is "not a c**t". However, it was later announced that he has inked a deal with major label Warner Bros for a solo LP, coming in 2017.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Gallagher has now said: "I guess it’s the last chance to dance, know what I mean? There’ll be some rock 'n’ roll bangers on [the album], but also some softer, John Lennon-y things. That’s who I am. You know, I can’t cook. I fucking refuse to cook. All I can do is do what I do."

In another interview with The Sunday Times, Liam added: "I can only say it’s sounding promising." He also acknowledged fan doubts over what the music might sound like. "There’s disbelief, without a doubt. That spurs me on. It’s like when people body-shame someone, and two minutes later they’ve got a six-pack," he said.

"I’m not a media darling, so people go, ‘He can’t write songs.’ And maybe I can’t, but what I’ve got is good. It’s a bit of everything. A few are a bit 'Working Class Hero', which suits my Rolls-Royce. And garage-rock psychedelia, in your face. There’s a song I like called 'Over' — acoustic, faraway voices. Cool. I think it will put a few people in their place."

“The main thing is, the voice is sounding delicious," Gallagher continued. "It’s still banging it. Then there’s nice falsetto bits. Bit chilled."

Liam Gallagher Slates Kanye West In New Interview

Liam Gallagher has slated Kanye West in a new interview.

Gallagher has spoken to various outlets over the past few weeks ahead of new Oasis documentary Supersonic and his forthcoming solo album.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Gallagher weighed in on Kanye, saying that he was "not having" the star and his brand of "designer rap".

It's not the first time that Gallagher has criticised West. Last year Gallagher hit out at West's Brit Awards performance, describing it as "utter shit".

He went on to explain why the US never "got" his Britpop band: "I knew Americans weren’t going to get us. They want razzamatazz. Five lads stood there, staring you out? It’s going to be intimidating for them, the poor souls. But in England, I was the fucking man, and still do believe I am today. The thought of someone else being the main frontman in England? My hair would’ve gone grey."

Elsewhere in the Sunday Times interview, Liam called out today's young bands for failing to behave like proper rock stars. Gallagher shared his view that "any band worth their salt is not just music".

Asked whether he really means this, Gallagher said: "Without a doubt. If it's all about music, then it's Coldplay. The most rock’n’roll thing Chris Martin did was wear a leather jacket. I thought, 'Go on, lad. That's a start.'"

Encouraging today's musicians to cause more mischief, Gallagher said: "If I was a 20-year-old in a band and somebody stuck [an iPhone] in my face, I’d stick it up their arse, or mine. There is no excuse for young bands to act like grown men. When you're older and have kids, cool it out a bit, but I get up to more mischief in my butcher’s than [they] do on their fucking tours. Maybe it's just where we're from."

He added: "I guess it goes back to the working-class thing. The shit-kickers aren’t breaking through. A lot of music these days is by middle-class kids."

Speaking in another interview to promote Supersonic, Gallagher criticised brother Noel for dressing like Gary Barlow.

This week saw bookmakers slash the odds of Oasis reforming to tour in 2017, while former guitarist Bonehead said he'd 'be there like a shot' if a reunion seemed likely.
