Liam Gallagher
Liam Gallagher hates having to pose for selfies with fans because they are “f***ing hard work”, he says.
The former Oasis rocker, 44, hankers for the old days when fans used to ask him for his autograph instead.
Liam said: “I prefer to sign something than to have my picture took. Having a picture took is just f***ing hard work.
“I prefer to shake someone’s hand and give them a f***ing hug. The photographs are a pain in the arse, but that is just the way it is.”
But Liam, who releases a solo record later this year, enjoys his rock and roll success and believes it stopped him becoming a “zombie” addicted to drug Spice in his hometown Manchester.
He said: “Without a doubt rock and roll saved my life and still continues to.
“I do not know where I would be. I would be in Piccadilly Gardens with the zombies smoking Spice.
“It is the best thing since sliced bread. It is good to be Liam Gallagher, without a doubt. It is f***ing great being me, even in the bad moments. It is the b*****ks. There is no one out there like me, man.”

Steve Coogan
This is seriously the best thing you’ll hear all day.
It’s a busy time for young Liam Gallagher. He’s just released his first solo single, performed his first solo gigs, now he’s getting ready to take on Glastonbury when he plays the Other Stage on Saturday evening.
Interviewed by journalist John Doran for the Noisey British Masters series, Liam tells the tale of a night out with Alan Partridge star Steve Coogan back in the hectic 90s.
I love Coogan. I partied with him once, there was a wedding going on, Me and him are sat at the bar, having a couple of drinks. Loads of people come in and they’re going ‘Liam, are you going to sing Wonderwall?’.
“I was like, no none of that nonsense. He’s going, ‘Leave him alone, I’ll sing a song’. And I don’t think they really knew who he was. And he got up on stage and sang It’s Not Unusual by Tom Jones, but fucking mega.
“Anyway, we drank loads of Guinness and gone up to our room and we crashed out. I woke up in the morning and I see this lump in the bed. I go, ‘Oh God, who’s this?’. A little tap on the fucking [shoulder].
“He’s fully clothed and he goes [mimes throwing back duvet] ‘Ahaaaaaaa!’”

Oasis
The Oasis legend has hit out at young bands today, saying their guitars are merely accessories.
Liam Gallagher has pledged to "counteract the bulls**t" of modern music.
Speaking to Dave Fanning for RTE2FM, the 44-year-old singer has promised to challenge the "beige dribble" being spoken by younger rock stars and has also accused them of barely being distinct from pop musicians.
He explained: "I love music as much as anyone. What I see going down is that I'm just 'leave it out mate, you can do better than that'. I can't tell a guitar band from a pop band these days. They've got guitars around their necks, but I don't hear guitars.
"You hear all these bands saying that they're coming back to save guitar music. I might not be the smartest tool in the shed - but I know you've got to put a guitar on a record to save guitar music and I don't hear any guitars.
"They've got guitars around their necks because they go with their shoes!" The former Oasis singer said he will create some "aggro" for the younger stars, accusing them of being boring and lacking passion.
He also likened modern-day musicians to soccer managers who hide behind cliches, rather than offering honest opinions to their fans.
Liam told Dave Fanning: "That's what I'm back for. Bit of aggro to counteract the bulls**t. That's what I'm here for and to speak my mind. You read these interviews with so-called rock stars and they need to get off the fence.
"Nothing interesting ever comes out of their mouths, it's just beige dribble. They're afraid to open their mouths in case their little career falls apart, so they just sit there like those football managers and say the same thing. Come on, give us a bit of passion."
Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher has hit out at Liam Payne's solo career so far.
The former Oasis man has praised Harry Styles once again, while hinting at a distaste for Payne's chosen musical direction.
“I can spot a fake a mile off and Harry Styles seems like he wants to bring real music and change his direction," Gallagher told The Sun On Sunday.
However, then hinting at Payne - who recently released his debut solo single Strip That Down - he added: “At least he’s not gone rap like the other one. How did that happen? Did they flip a coin and he said, ‘Listen, I’m doing the rap one'".
Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher is preparing to make his first UK festival appearance at Glastonbury this weekend.

Liam Gallagher
Oasis
Liam Gallagher has spoken out about his relationship with founding Oasis member Bonehead.
Asked why he isn’t in his current live band he said “Cos he’s not man, he’s not. Me and Bonehead are mates, I love Bonehead he’s a geezer, and there’s no reason why he’s not. He’ll come and play with us maybe at some gigs and that, but Bonehead’s got his life man, he’s settled. I’ve been in a band with Bonehead and it’s pretty fucking dangerous. I’m not in the danger zone just yet. I want a fucking nice life, I want a nice, easy tour. I wanna go get some fucking tunes, I wanna get rockin’.”
When quizzed on who was the most ‘dangerous’ in Oasis, Gallagher told the NME: “Him, he was dangerous man. I mean, we were all fucking dangerous. I was pretty dangerous. But Bonehead’s dangerous man. He’s cool, I love him, he’s just up for the craic mate, 24/7, so respect. He’s a geezer. I done some demos of these songs at his house a couple of years ago, cos he had a studio and that down there, but it never amounted to much. Maybe ‘Bold’. Maybe something else.”
