Liam Gallagher Tells Wishaw Oasis Fan: Be Here Now

A Diehard Oasis fan from Craigneuk realised The Importance of Being Idle after he queued for three hours to meet his hero Liam Gallagher and was rewarded with a one-on-one conversation at the rock idol’s Glasgow hotel.

Some Might Say that 32-year-old Frankie McComville’s dream of meeting the singer was still Half The World Away after a lengthy wait to meet Gallagher appeared to have ended in failure.

Frankie was queuing outside Gallagher’s new Pretty Green clothing boutique in Glasgow when it was officially opened by the Britpop icon but was left asking What’s The Story (Morning Glory)? as security staff were only letting official fan club members in to meet Liam.

Knowing that he’s hardly going to Live Forever, Frankie was left irate by the decision to deny him the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the Oasis and Beady Eye frontman, so he got back in touch with the shop to Go Let It Out and tell them exactly what he thought.

Frankie said: “I was the first one in the queue early in the morning but as I was waiting another queue started forming with people who had been emailed to go in for a meet-and-greet but I never knew anything about that.

“Loads of people then joined my queue who hadn’t been emailed like me, with none of us getting in, so I rolled down to Pretty Green later and complained all about it, telling the guy what I was wearing that day and he said he remembered me waiting for three hours.

“He told me he was very sorry but it was the police who’d put the block on people. So he told me that when Liam came up last week to play the Barrowlands he’d definitely get him to meet me.”

Fortunately for Frankie, it wasn’t a case of Definitely Maybe.

“I was always going to the concert on Thursday so went along and I hadn’t heard anything so just thought it had all fallen through,” he said.

“Then on Friday the guy phoned me and asked me to go to the hotel on the outskirts of Glasgow where Liam was staying.

“I got there for 7.30 and sure enough the guy from Pretty Green was there. Then Liam came down the stairs and was just brand new with us.

“He stood speaking to us for 20 minutes. He was absolutely brilliant.

“He asked me if I liked the new Beady Eye stuff and I told him I’ve got the album and can’t stop listening to it.

“I then asked him about a lot of the Oasis stuff and talked to him about the clothing range at Pretty Green. I also asked why he chose Glasgow to start with over Manchester and he said it just had to be Glasgow – it’s like a second home to him and he prefers it to Manchester.

“He then signed my Definitely Maybe and Beady Eye CDs and put me onto the guest list for Beady Eye on the Friday night too!”

At Friday’s concert, Frankie was treated to the VIP experience, sitting in Glasgow’s famous live music venue beside top comedian Kevin Bridges.

“The gig was unbelievable. Beady Eye sounded brilliant,” said Frankie.

“It took me 16 years to meet Liam. I’ve been into Oasis since they started and always wanted to meet him. I couldn’t believe how relaxed he was and I was taken aback by how happy he was to speak to me for such a long time.

“It was a dream come true and he couldn’t have been nicer.”

Tough Questions For Liam Gallagher

In August it'll be 20 years since Gallagher and his brother Noel first took the stage as Oasis. It'll be almost two since they broke up backstage in Paris in a shower of guitar splinters. As in a proper divorce, Noel cited Liam's "verbal and violent intimidation." Meanwhile, Liam, 38, took custody of guitarist Gem Archer, bassist Andy Bell (now on guitar), and drummer Chris Sharrock, renamed the group Beady Eye, and recorded Different Gear, Still Speeding (Dangerbird). Fresh from rehearsals for their inaugural tour, he swaggers into the band's London management office wearing a green parka and a fedora from his Pretty Green clothing line. Today he had an epiphany: "Guess what, mate? I reckon I'm in the best fucking band in the world. Twice that's happened now. Mega, isn't it?"

Is Beady Eye really a new band? It's Oasis without the songwriter.
Course it's a new band. We're writing great songs. We're doing things how we want them done.

Are the songs new?
Sixty percent is new. Forty percent is stuff we had knocking about -- demos that maybe Chris had never drummed on or I had never sang on. Never have all four of us been on those songs before. "Wind Up Dream" and "The Morning Son" was knocking about…

When you say "knocking about," does that mean they are actually old Oasis songs?
No way. Me and Gem always used to go to Wheeler End [Oasis' studio in rural England] and do demos. We went through all the demos, and it was obvious which were ours and which ones were the little fella's. How? They were the good ones.

The little fella? How is life without him?
The little fella's gone. I watch enough Sky News to know that we shouldn't have leaders. This band is four geezers all on the same page, wanting to make this the greatest band in the world.

Another new song, "Beatles and Stones," pays tribute to your heroes. What did you do for John Lennon's 70th?
I had a little drink. I didn't make a big deal of it. I didn't lie in bed naked or go for a fucking Japanese, if that's what you're on about.

"The Morning Son," what's that about?
It's about Jesus. It's about resurrection: "The morning son has rose." But most songs are about me getting to the end of the song and thinking, "Thank fuck that's over." I find words really hard.

Do you feel you've got something to prove?
No, I'm in the top two human beings on the planet.

Who else is there?
I dunno. Could be Elvis. Could be Gandhi. Could be the street sweeper. Could be you. We all think we're Superman from time to time. I feel like I've contributed. I feel like I've got kids off their arses. I think there's a lot of kids out there who have got something from our music.

Let's go back to the breakup in Paris in 2009. Say you don't smash Noel's guitar. Say you sort it out. If you could go back, would you?
No. Let's nail this down: This ain't no stopgap or side project. We're not hanging around waiting for the little fella to come to his senses. By the time he does that, we'll be flying.

What's he doing?
Recording probably. I'll check it out when the time comes. We share the same management, so I'm sure he's had a little listen to ours. Whether he likes it or not, who cares?

What do you miss most about him?
I'm not pleased we're not talking, but I want to do things the right way -- my way, for once. Noel used to have the big vision. Sometimes he treated us like his fucking backing band. Some of the videos we did were fucking shocking. "Lyla," for example -- we look like fucking Culture Club on shit acid. This time 'round, we're in control of the details.

What don't you miss?
Oasis was done. Even a blind man could see it. It was: new record, do the videos, big tour, have a fight. I'm glad that routine has come to an end.

Noel had a baby in October. Didn't you send a card?
A lot of people have kids. He's not the first and he won't be the last. I wished him all the best through me mam.

Your clothing label, Pretty Green, has done well. What am I going to experience wearing your gear as opposed to, say, Jay-Z's Roca-wear?
You're going to be fucking arrested wearing his gear and you're going to pull a really nice-looking bird wearing mine.

So, we'll never hear Oasis live ever again?
No. Never. I'll miss them songs, but they are in me head. They are in my life deeply already. In my DNA. But Beady Eye can't start banging out fucking "Live Forever," can they? Never say never, but…no.

Liam Gallagher Talks About Noel, Oasis, And Beady Eye

"It's not about getting beaten and 'See you later.' It's about getting beat, getting up, dusting yourself off, and smashing the fuck out of the next person you see in front of you."

Liam Gallagher is talking about the possible return to the ring of his good friend the boxer Ricky Hatton, but he might as well be referring to his own reaction to the spate of backhanded compliments for his first post-Oasis record. His new band, Beady Eye, whose line-up includes all remaining members of Oasis except for his brother Noel, were written off by many critics and fans long before a single note had been released.

"I'm surprised that people were surprised that we'd make good music without Noel Gallagher," he tells me, indignant, from a hotel room in Paris. "I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that people think Noel Gallagher is the brains behind everything."

Last month's release of Different Gear, Still Speeding (Beady Eye Records) marks a new era for Gallagher and former Oasis members Gem Archer, Andy Bell, and Chris Sharrock. Some critics are backpedaling from their preliminary conclusions and conceding that the album is not half bad. Diehard Oasis fans compare it favorably to the band's work in the 2000s. "I've been doing this for 18 years; Gem's been doing it longer. They know how to write music - and I certainly know how to sing. We know how to put on a gig and we know how to write a tune."

Noel's bailing on Oasis just 18 months ago - on the heels of another legendary altercation between the siblings prior to a gig in France - has done nothing to stymie Liam's musical cocktail of Kinks, early Stones, and of course, Beatles influences. Beady Eye certainly keep alive the Oasis tradition of eschewing the reinvention of the wheel in favor of throwing new rims on a road-tested rig of melodies.

"Our musical journey doesn't stop because Noel Gallagher jumped ship," Liam says. "We've got to get back on track, and I was never nervous about it, really. I loved Oasis, but to split Oasis up was out of my hands. I'd have carried on doing Oasis, but you've got to do what you got to do."

Comparisons with the 'Sis are inevitable, though by now irrelevant. After 1995's masterful (What's the Story) Morning Glory? - the second half to one of the most successful one-two album punches in pop-music history - you had to dig to find any sonic gems in the sawdust of the five albums that followed. It's no secret that Noel ran the show as songwriter, but Different Gear, Still Speeding is perhaps more consistent than any recent Oasis release, in part because Liam was invested in it from the outset. "Normally, Noel would do all the guide vocals, so I'd be listening to his voice pretty much all the way through the bloody album, and then I'd sing at the end. I think the playing would sort of go around Noel's voice, and as much as he's great and all that, he's not rock and roll, is he?"

And there it is. As if on cue, and with no prodding: the first chip shot at big brother's expense. Almost two decades in and it's just as entertaining to watch this sibling rivalry still rage. "Me and Noel can't get on with each other. He thinks he's fucking God, I think I'm God — it doesn't work. We never really had an argument about music; it was always about personal things. It's a shame that in the end that broke the band up, but at the end of the day, I think it's better off for everyone. You change as you grow up, and maybe Noel isn't as rock and roll as he once was, and maybe he's scared of being in a rock-and-roll band and wants to take things a little bit easier and sit on his hill and be Bob Dylan. That's fine, mate, but you're never gonna get me sitting on a fucking stool playing acoustic guitar. I need to explode when I'm on that stage."

Behind the microphone stand is the spot where this Gallagher is at his best. Hands clasped behind his back, knees slightly bent, neck craned with a disaffected preen - it's a posture that's been both imitated and ridiculed. Liam flourished belting out the multitude of Oasis classics over the years, but those are songs he promises are forever in the rearview.

"I sang them to death," he says of "Wonderwall" and "Rock 'n' Roll Star." "If I didn't have a band, I'd be missing them, without a doubt. I gave Oasis everything and more, so I don't feel like I had anything more to give. I mean, I could have, but I have a new batch of songs now, and I'm quite happy singing them. And why the fuck should we sing his songs? We write our own."

Beady Eye tracks and the odd cover fill the live set, and reviews for an initial series of European dates have been mostly positive. To Gallagher, relying on the Oasis back catalogue is akin to "sleeping with your ex-missus." But he insists his brother will revisit the hits when Noel's pending solo career launches. "He'll take great pleasure in letting everyone know what songs he wrote and what songs he sang on, and he can top off his little set list with all his new songs. So that guy will be playing for three hours boring the fucking life out of people. We don't. We just hit people with an hour, and it's great."

So far, just three live dates in North America have been confirmed: New York, Chicago, and Toronto in early June. More are expected to be added, but if and when a Boston date is set, we might not find Gallagher out sauced on the streets. He's pulled back on the shenanigans that once cost him his front teeth in a German bar brawl, as well as getting him thrown off a ferry in Amsterdam, and leading to numerous entertaining, albeit dodgy, shows. "Yeah, without a doubt," he says when I suggest that he's dialed down the partying. But he adds a disclaimer: "Not to the point where it's all Chris Martin and you're in slippers or whatever and debating cheese and shit. We still have a party, but we only stay out three days now instead of four."

Told this piece will be hitting stands on St. Patrick's Day, the biggest day of the year in Boston to throw down a gaggle of pints, he reflects on his lineage as the youngest of three born in Manchester, England, to Irish emigrants. "They're just fucking amazing people, aren't they? They don't take themselves that serious, they just like to have a good time, and they're brutally honest, which is great. That to me makes a great person - what more do you fucking want?"

When asked whether maybe a decade down the line he'd be up for an Oasis reunion headlining, say, the Glastonbury Festival, Gallagher says that would be admitting Beady Eye had been a failure. "I don't want to get Oasis back together. We had a great run. We ended it with stupid behavior, and I'm not proud of that, but that's the way it was."

Besides, he adds, any Oasis reunion "certainly wouldn't be fucking Glastonbury, because it's a shithole. They ought to put all that fucking money they make and buy a decent fucking sound system. You can hear people speaking in the crowd when you're on stage - what's that about? Fucking rubbish."

Talk then inexplicably shifts to UK pop group S Club 7, a Gallagher obsession. "I'd be more excited about them getting together than Oasis," he gushes. "People would come around to it in the end. S Club 7 Juniors at Glastonbury, headlining - that's what I want."

Liam Gallagher Coughs Up £7,000 For Cosmetic Dentistry Work

We all know he was sick to the back teeth of his big brother Noel.

But what we didn’t know was Liam Gallagher’s back teeth have been pretty sick of Liam as well.

And his front ones weren’t too keen on him either.

The 38-year-old snaggletoothed Manc, who is currently promoting his new band Beady Eye, was ordered by management to get himself to a dentist – and pronto.

Several hours of heavy-duty drilling later, and the singer emerged, puffy-mouthed and dribbling slightly, with a brand-new Hollywood smile. A snip at £7,000.

I’m told: “Liam wasn’t quite at the Shane MacGowan stage but his teeth were pretty dodgy.

“Beady Eye is a big deal for Liam and he felt under pressure to look his best for his musical comeback.

“He knows his teeth have never been his strong point, so he decided now was the time to get them done. Liam had a place recommended to him, and booked in for a consultation. A few weeks later, he went for it, having his grey fillings replaced with white ones, and some veneers put in for a more even look.

“His new gnashers are a lot more American-friendly too so if Beady Eye do try and conquer the States, at least it won’t be his awful teeth they’re talking about.”

Nope, just the music, then.While the new molars aren’t quite Simon Cowell-esque, they are, as our pictures show, a marked improvement.

Of course it’s not the first time the star has had dental work.

Nine years ago, he had emergency surgery to repair his two front teeth after he was smashed in the mouth in a bar in Munich.And he’s not the first in his family to undergo cosmetic dentistry procedures.

His brother, with whom he is no longer speaking post-Oasis fall-out, has already had his pearly whites sorted.

So if they do ever meet up, they can just bare their teeth at each other. That’ll be one seriously blinding evening...
