Liam Gallagher On Pretty Green And His Upcoming Beatles Movie

Thursday was a big day for Liam Gallagher. In the midst of a tour with current band Beady Eye, the former Oasis frontman broke the news to Rolling Stone that he's open to burying the hatchet with his brother and ex-bandmate, Noel, to possibly reunite to tour for (What's The Story) Morning Glory?'s 20th anniversary in 2015. Not that he's at a loss for things to do in the mean time: he's got a lot on his plate right now, including his debut as a film producer for a movie adaptation of The Longest Cocktail Party, a book written by a former Apple Records assistant. His burgeoning career in fashion is also flourishing: last night, his clothing line Pretty Green – which just announced a special Quadrophenia parka collaboration with The Who – won Best Breakthrough International Brand at the WGSN Awards. It's a major achievement for any label, but especially one only two years old and helmed by someone with no formal background in design.

But as fans know by now, and Rolling Stone confirms from yesterday's conversation with Gallagher, taking the pedantic approach to creativity will never be his style.

Pretty Green is up for a pretty major award tonight. Is it important to you to win?
I was coming through here anyway, since my wife is doing a TV show in Canada and I'm touring down in South America with Beady Eye. But I want people to know I care about this Pretty Green, so I am showing up to support it. You like to win, don't you? But it's not going to make or break my day. We've only been going at it two years, we don't really know what we're doing. We're still winging it – but we're getting better.

Who initiated Pretty Green's collaboration with The Who?
I'm not too sure, I've been on the road. A couple of people in the Who camp had the idea to do the parka for the 40th anniversary of Quadrophenia, and Peter Townshend and Roger Daltrey liked Pretty Green, so we were asked if we were up the collaboration. I said, "yeah, man, without a doubt."

How involved are you in the design process?
We have guys named Pat Salter and Felix Blow that handle all the materials, the design process. I trust them completely. I don't have much to do with that end, but I look at everything. If someone doesn't look cool, we'll have a chat about it. But [Pat] uses his imagination, puts it on the table, and I try it on. If I like it, it stays.

You already have five stores in the UK, and more on the way. Any plans to expand to the U.S.?
We'd love to; I'm never really here, but I'd like that. But it's definitely biggest in England.

I assume Pretty Green's popularity corresponds pretty directly to where your music – in Oasis and Beady Eye – has been most popular.
Yeah, that's true. The line's suddenly big in Japan, though. Italy. People really love it in England, though. Of course.

Would you say the line's look is overtly British?
It is, the new stuff's really cool and diverse, though. A lot of it's kind of like Indian caftans and stuff; that's all going down on the Black Label. We're experimenting now.

What's the difference between the Green and Black Labels?
Black Label is the higher-end one. If it was just up to me, it would just be the Black Label, all proper rock & roll gear. But some of the kids can't afford that, so we give them options with the casual Green Label. The Black Label is more suedes, more rock star-ish. Green is jerseys and denim.

Would you do sportswear for Pretty Green?
No, I wouldn't. I did that a lot in the Nineties, but it's time to grow up. It's for kids, man. I haven't worn trainers in ten years.

Has the mainstream fashion audience embraced your line?
I'm not that sure; I don't read that press. I'm sure some have loved it, some have hated it, some don't care. As long as the kids like it, and I like it!

Would you ever present it at London Fashion Week?
I don't think so, man. It's not my vibe.

Have you thought about doing a women's collection for Pretty Green?
Yeah, I'd definitely do a look – not sure I'd do a massive range for girls, but I'm working out how to do a Pretty Green look for women. Girls love the line.

When you started the line, what look were you trying to achieve with it?
The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, The Small Faces – all that era. 1967 to 1969 bands.

Were other designers – like Paul Smith, for example – an influence on tailoring?
I like Paul Smith, he's pretty cool. I wear his stuff. But I don't look up to anyone. There's always room for more of that rock & roll look to be done right.

Is Pretty Green confident in its own identity as a brand now?
Yeah, man, that's why we're going for it. Changing it up. Weaving, Indian influences. Looking through old Beatles and Stones books for inspiration.

What's a menswear look you disapprove of?
Pointy shoes, skinny pants. That whole look. They look like girls – and then they turn around, and it's a guy with a big nose. Men should look like men, I think.

And who got their look right in your eyes?
George Harrison, Brian Jones, Paul Weller. The Stone Roses looked good when they first came out, and so did the Sex Pistols.

What is Paul Weller's involvement with Pretty Green?
He's been dabbling with the idea of doing his own line for awhile, actually, and I thought it made sense for him to do a collection through Pretty Green, rather than starting from scratch. I think he'll continue to do it; it looks good. I'd also like to bring on other people.

Do you have any other musicians in mind?
Yes – Kasabian, maybe.

You mentioned stopping through the States for a South American tour with Beady Eye. What else is next?
Still on tour, doing the Beady Eye thing, then hopefully, I'll be starting work on a film – a Beatles film. There's a book called The Longest Cocktail Party, written by Richard DeLillo, an Apple Records asssistant in the late Sixties. It's just about his adventures hanging around that scene. I'm producing it as a movie. We're getting in touch with Apple Records to see if we can use some Beatles' songs for the film; if not, we'll do our own special Beady Eye version of them.

How is Beady Eye doing? Feeling good about it?
Good, man. It's all right, man. Good bits, very good bits, and bits where I ask myself, "what the fuck am I doing?" [Laughs.] We definitely have another record in us. We're writing songs, and we'll go into a studio in February or April. Then try to get in another world tour.

What are your thoughts on the Stone Roses reunion?
Blown away by it, man, can't wait. Favorite band. To the people who say, "oh, they shouldn't get back together," I say "they're not putting a gun to anyone's head, you can buy the tickets if you want them." They can do whatever they want. Go see them in 2012 and don't expect it to be 1989. But that's fine.

Would you want their new record to stick close to their core sound?
Well, I hope they go for that West Coast harmony, like the first album. That's a fucking magical album. I first saw them in 1989; it was the first live show I'd ever been to. Everyone else was into dance music, and I saw them live, and went "this is it." Blown away by it. It inspired me to start Oasis.

Any new bands you like?
I like Cults. All the reverbs, very New York/London vibe. There's a girl singing on it. That's the only new band I can think of I really enjoy. But I'm hard to please, man. I like what I like.

Has what you liked really evolved since you started music?
No. I don't think rock & roll really needs to change. Don't screw with it.

Have you noticed that trends are favoring electronic sounds again?
Yeah, I don't really like it.

Why? You and Noel both have worked with electronic artists.
I know. Noel worked with Chemical Brothers; I worked with Death in Vegas. Richard's cool; they're more garage, than electronic, though, I think. But yeah, there's a place for that. I just always will prefer guitars and drums!

What do you think of the digital age?
People want everything too fast, and now they've got it, so what's next? Something's got to change. I miss the record shops, the physical releases. I miss when being Number One meant something. I used to love to watch the charts, especially at Christmas. Even the crap songs were something you'd remember as a milestone for the year.

Are you feeling the effects of Nineties nostalgia?
Is that a thing? Oh, I guess because of Nevermind and all that. Well, I'm nostalgic everyday. The Stone Roses reunion reminds of that. You need to embrace the now, go in with an open mind. But you never get your youth back. You shouldn't, I guess: you need to move on, grow old, all that. I don't mind getting old – I'm quite interested in age.

Is that something you might discuss lyrically?
No, man, I don't really discuss anything in my lyrics. I don't even think about them. I should, probably!

To Be A Front Man Is Going To Be A New Experience For Noel Gallagher

Two years and two months after leaving Oasis, Noel Gallagher says that "it's nice to start again and shape things from the bottom up." But he still has ambivalent feelings about becoming a full-fledged frontman with his new solo album, "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds."

"I wouldn't say I've enjoyed it more or less than when I've been in a band," Gallagher tells Billboard.com. "It can't be more fun being a front man than it is being a guitarist and a backing vocalists. That's the greatest f***ing gig in rock...You don't really have to do anything but play the guitar really f***ing loud and sing harmony. That's easy. That's amazing. To be a front man is going to be a new experience for me."

"...High Flying Birds" is just out in the U.K., where it's pegged for a chart-topping debut, and comes out on Nov. 8 in the U.S. The album includes a pair of songs -- "(I Wanna Live In A Dream) In My Record Machine" and "Stop The Clocks" -- that were demoed for Oasis but never recorded by the band, but that Gallagher felt "were great songs, and...if I don't put them out now I'll never put them out, so now is the time." Some of the other tracks, meanwhile, were written while he was still in Oasis. But you won't find him singing about the group or his bitter relationship with younger brother and former Oasis singer (now Beady Eye frontman) Liam Gallagher.

"I'm not that kind of guy, really," Gallagher explains. "My first instinct when I write songs is not a negative one. It's something positive...Everything I've ever done has some form of hope in it, I think. So I wouldn't write a song about my feelings towards anyone in, let's call them Beady Eye, because I actually like those people."

Gallagher takes his touring lineup of the High Flying Birds on the road starting Oct. 23 in Dublin. An initial North American run kicks off Nov. 7 in Toronto before he returns to Europe at the end of that month, and he promises he'll be doing "a lot" of road work to support the album. "I'm gonna be all over the world," Gallagher promises, including "a bigger, more extensive tour" of North America in 2012. "You're going to be sick of me in about two years. You're gonna think, 'That f***ing guy, is he still here?!'"

The shows will feature Oasis songs, Gallagher says, though he adds that, "I don't think of Oasis songs anymore. They're my songs. Every song that I play I wrote by myself... I won't be doing anything that's synonymous with Liam's voice. I'll only be doing songs that I've sang on records, so it should be OK."

Gallagher will be putting out more music sooner rather than later. He's already completed his next album, a collaboration with the Future Sound of London spin-off Amorphous Androgynous that he hopes to put out next summer. "I don't want to say too much about it yet," he explains, "but it's not an electronic album; it's a psychedelic rock-pop album, and I'm not quite sure how people are going to take it. It's less structured than my traditional English pop music." Gallagher re-recorded four of the songs from "...High Flying Birds," which he says sound "very different," along with 10 new originals.

His game plan for the future, meanwhile, is to make another album with Amorphous Androgynous "because I think we were just getting to know each other's ways of working when the project ended." Gallagher says he'd also like to score a film, but mostly he predicts he'll "just carry on making records, really. I'll just play my music and tour endlessly."

As for any Oasis reunion, he only replies, "Not this year."

Liam Gallagher Says The Stone Roses Inspired Him To Join A Band

Liam Gallagher says seeing The Stone Roses for the first time left him "obsessed with music", and inspired him to join a band.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Profile, the Beady Eye singer said he first went to see the legendary "Madchester" group on his own, and afterwards decided he wanted to follow in their footsteps:

"The whole band looked cool... I thought I could definitely go and do that if I find the right guys, and I did," he told Profile presenter Linda Pressly.

Liam Gallagher was speaking to Profile for a forthcoming programme about Ian Brown, lead singer of The Stone Roses. The influential Manchester group has announced three reunion concerts at the city's Heaton Park.

Noel Gallagher On Life After Oasis

The former Oasis frontman talks about his drama-free debut album and shows unexpected support for Matt Cardle.

He'll forever be associated with Oasis and his brother Liam, but Noel Gallagher has left the group and at-times troubled familial relationships behind. His new album Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is out now and to mark its release a collection of photos taken by Lawrence Watson during its development are being exhibited in London. Noel talks about how it felt to record his debut album and why he wants only good things for The X Factor's Matt Cardle.

How did you find the experience of recording this album?

I found it very peaceful. No moaning, no sulking; everybody arrived on time, everybody left on time. No coffee drinkers either.

Why did you allow Lawrence to photograph you throughout the process?

I'm not sure I ever did. Lawrence has always been around when I've been in the studio. It wouldn't be the same without him to be honest, so it didn’t’ feel like there was anything out of the ordinary going on. He did decide to grow a beard early doors, though, so I could tell how long I was taking to make the record by looking at his ginger beard. Have you seen it? It really should be in the Tate.

Do you feel under more pressure with this release than with your previous albums?

No more or less than usual.

What are the main changes you've noticed in the music industry since you started?

The music business is in a constant state of flux and has been for over a decade now; the rules that apply now will not apply this time next year. It keeps you on your toes if nothing else.

In his review for The Telegraph, Neil McCormack described the album as a "kinder, gentler... freer in spirit, broader in outlook". Do you agree and does that reflect your mood these days?

Ha! Well I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion. Even Neil McCormack.

What do you do to relax?

Chance would be a fine thing! I have 3 kids and a cat and a busy, noisy house. I get more time to relax when I'm working.

What are your favourite places in London?

That's a tricky one. I'm not a tourist so I probably don't appreciate it as much as I should. I really need to get out more!

You and Matt Cardle have been in competition for the number one spot in this week's charts. Is it important to you to come out on top?

The charts are only relevant when you're top of them! So I'll tell you on Sunday, but I think it's only fair that Matt Cardle takes the number one spot. I’ve had about nine of them already so we have to spread the wealth!

Lawrence Watson Photographs Noel Gallagher is on show at the Londonewcastle Project Space, 28 Redchurch Street, London E2 7DP, from October 27 to November 13.

Liam Gallagher Doesn’t Actually Hate Coldplay

Though the younger Gallagher is famous for making delightfully rude comments about his musical peers, Liam assured us that his brother Noel's recent, Chris Martin–related claim ("Liam fucking hates Coldplay, which made me love them a little bit more.") is incorrect. "I don't hate 'em!" he told us at last night's WGSN Global Fashion Awards, where he was honored for his Pretty Green clothing line (the one that is better than Jay-Z's). "I don't hate anyone," he added. "I just like to wind people up. But yeah, I'm not a big fan." So, for the record: Liam Gallagher is only moderately disinterested in Coldplay, and he carries hate in his heart for no man. Noel should be surprised to learn at least one of these facts.

Liam Gallagher Wants Oasis Anniversary Reunion Tour

Liam Gallagher, the former Oasis singer, says he would like the band to reform in 2015.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Profile, the Beady Eye singer says he would like to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of Oasis's second album, (What's The Story) Morning Glory?

Asked if the plans were fixed he said "It's not definite... but I'm up for it".

Oasis disbanded in August 2009 when Noel Gallagher quit the group following a backstage disagreement with his brother just before the band were due to play a festival.

Liam Gallagher was speaking to Profile for a forthcoming programme about Ian Brown, lead singer of The Stone Roses. The influential Manchester group has announced they are reforming after 15 years apart for a series of gigs in 2012.

"I wouldn't have joined a band if I didn't see The Stone Roses… I'd probably just carried on playing football in the park 'til three in the morning with me top off," Liam Gallagher told Profile presenter Linda Pressly.

Noel Gallagher Is Number One On The Irish Album Charts

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds has entered the Irish album chart at No. 1.

Noel Gallagher On Life, Liam And Everything

Looking all mean ‘n’ moody on the cover of the new Hot Press is Noel Gallagher who brings His High Flying Birds to the Dublin Olympia on Sunday for their live debut.
Visited in London by Stuart Clark and his faithful photographer companion Graham Keogh, Noel was in typically forthright mood as he talked about the fight with Liam that broke Oasis up (“There was a level of physical violence that made me think, ‘I’m forty-fucking-three now.

There’s no way I can be dealing with this anymore”); family-planning Noely G-style (“Me and the missus wanted another baby, so it was, ‘Right, I’ve got to get the album done and dusted before this possible bundle of joy comes along.’ It’s ten past three on the first day of recording, I’m having a cup of tea while a drum-track’s being put down, the phone rings and it’s Sara saying: ‘Guess who’s pregnant?’ I was like, ‘Not me Mam?’”; Amy Winehouse (“She was one of the lads and a great soul singer. What she wasn’t good at was picking friends”); and Morrissey (“Didn’t he say the guy who killed 96 people in Norway was only as bad as a fucking cheeseburger?”)

Add the IRA, Gay Byrne, the Queen, John Lydon, Mick Jagger, Kasabian and his beloved Man City into the mix, and it’s a suitably lively affair!
