Liam Gallagher Thought Music Was For Losers

Liam Gallagher has said he couldn't see the point of music when he was sixteen.

He told the current issue of GQ “I just thought music was for losers. If I ever saw anyone with a guitar I was like, ‘Go and kick a football, you weirdo.’ The Manchester music scene was so grim in the Eighties, soppy bands like The Smiths I was like, ’F* ** that.’ I wanted to be a footballer, but I wasn’t disciplined enough Growing up I just wanted to do as little as possible. That’s why, eventually, the rock’n’roll thing clicked. Sitting about drinking, looking good, taking drugs, wearing nice clothes, shouting into a microphone with your mates... I’ll do a bit of that."

Liam Gallagher On Eating Hundreds Of Magic Mushrooms

Liam Gallagher has spoken about taking a large amount of magic mushrooms when he was 15.

He told GQ Magazine "Never been to rehab. I had my drug hell when I was about 15, going around like Pac—Man, eating hundreds of mushrooms. Me and my mate got a bit eager and munched on a load sitting in this shed. I could see he was losing the plot so I decided we should go for a walk. A storm was coming; it was thunder and lightning — biblical. You know when you see puddles of petrol on the road? They looked like angry rainbows".

He added "We are tripping our tits off We decide to walk to hospital. We turn to this nurse and say, ’Excuse me, love, we’ve been taking a load of mushrooms and it’s not going well. Is there any chance we could just stay here until it’s over?’ I figured they were going to syringe the shit out of us, but she took us to a white room and told us to sit down. A totally white room, which if you’re as high as Elton John in ’77 is not ideal. People are coming into the A&E with their f***ing heads and arms hanging of having been in car crashes. We’re like, ’For f* **’s sake...’ Anything after that, a few lines of cake with a supermodel? Piece of piss, mate.”

Liam Gallagher Hasn't Checked His Balance At Cashpoint Machines For 20 Years

Liam Gallagher hasn't checked his balance of his bank balance at a cashpoint for 20 years.

He told GQ Magazine "I don’t think I’ve ever gone to the cashpoint and pressed ’Balance on screen’. For 20 f* **ing years I’ve put my card in, pressed for £100, crossed my fingers, said a little prayer and money’s come out. I’ve no idea how much money I’ve had or lost. I didn’t have a guitar habit because I could never play; I had a tambourine habit once, though. But, to be honest, you play one tambourine, you’ve played them all, mate”.

Richard Ashcroft On Liam Gallagher's Cameo On The Verve‘s ‘Urban Hymns’

Richard Ashcroft has spoken out about Liam Gallagher‘s ‘secret cameo’ on The Verve‘s classic album, ‘Urban Hymns’.

It has long been known that the former Oasis frontman leant backing vocals on the track ‘Come On’, but there has also been a mystery surrounding what exactly it is that he sings. Now, Ashcroft has opened up about the album’s various jokes and mysteries.

“I mean there’s lots of jokes within the album,” Ashcroft told BBC 6 Music. “Liam Gallagher is on the last track ‘Come On’. I don’t think anyone knows this, but if you concentrate you can hear some demented guy screaming ‘come on’. I imagine everyone thinks that’s me, but I remember him doing it.

“He arrived at the studio with the tape of a song he’d just done with [Stone Roses’ guitarist] John Squire. He proceeded, as he does, to play it 15 times in a row in the studio. I played him ‘Bittersweet [Symphony]’, then I said ‘we’re doing ‘Come On’ now, you gotta be on it. He went into this booth with someone else, and he was going ballistic at the end of it – smashing the tambourine against the side of the vocal booth, screaming.”

The Verve will be celebrating 20 years of ‘Urban Hymns’ with a deluxe reissue on September 1.

Liam Gallagher On Liking A Drink

Liam Gallagher still likes to go out boozing because constant sobriety is "boring".

The "mad for it" former Oasis frontman is known for being one of the most notorious rock 'n' roll hellraisers and during his time in the 'Supersonic' band he got involved in numerous shenanigans, more often than not fuelled by drink and recreational drugs.

Liam - who was in the group with his now estranged older brother Noel Gallagher - has calmed down a lot now he's in his 40s but he doesn't like to be teetotal all time because life becomes too dull and he becomes too nice.

In an interview on 'The Howard Stern Show', he revealed: "I do like a drink, I'm not an alcoholic, but I like talking s**t to people, I like the s**t that comes with drinking. But I have been sober for six months before, it's just boring. I felt too good, I was opening doors for people and getting old ladies' bags of shopping and saying I'll help you across the road - f**k that. I don't want to feel that good, who wants to feel too good?"

Liam, 44, insists he was living the life of a rock star long before Oasis burst onto the music scene in 1994, and he was experimenting with substances, such as psychedelic mushrooms, when he just 15.

He added: "People think just because you're joining a band it's your first beer or whatever, or your first line or whatever you smoke.

"I was mushroomed out of my face when I was 15 and 16, before I even joined the band at 19."

U2 A Rock 'N' Roll Band? Liam Gallagher Finds That 'Highly Insulting'

Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has hit out at U2, saying it's 'insulting' to describe them as a rock 'n' roll band, and called his brother Noel a 'stalker potato'.

Noel is supporting the Irish band on their Joshua Tree tour, but Liam is unimpressed, dismissing them as 'a band that use guitars'.

Liam, 44, who was promoting his solo album As You Were on a US radio station, said: “I dunno what planet they’re on, but they’re not on mine. They’re in a bubble.

“I’m walking the streets keeping it real.

"We walk and we lick our own plates.

“You know when you finish your food, I know them people get someone else to lick their plates for them. I lick my own f***ing plate.

The likes of U2, when they call themselves a rock ’n’ roll band I find that highly insulting.

“They play guitar music and they hit the drums and all that but they’re not a rock ’n’ roll band, they’re a band that use guitars.

“They haven’t done anything rock ’n’ roll in their entire life.”

Liam was once banned by airline Cathay Pacific for abusing passengers and staff.

After the break-up of Oasis and his band Beady Eye, he vowed he would not go solo.

He said of U2: “I’m not saying you need to be snorting drugs off a dwarf’s a***.

“But they need to do something. Have they ever broken a pencil? Have they ever stuck a rubber up their nose? They don’t seem to do f*** all, except for take big pay cheques.”

The Irish band, who began when Liam was four, have released 14 albums, selling almost 200 million copies. They are being supported on their 52-date European and Joshua Tree Tour by Liam’s older brother Noel, 50.

Liam said: “It’s nice to know while he’s out licking Bono’s a*** I’m sort of doing it for real.

“I love our kid, but every time I see him he’s got his arm around some crazy celebrity. It’s like he’s stalking them.

“Every time I see pictures of him, I just see a potato – a stalker potato when he has his arm around Bono.”

Liam Gallagher On Pissing On Noel's Stereo

Wars have been started over less than the ongoing feud between the Gallagher brothers. Given the prominence of their rift in music culture, you'd have to assume it started over something fairly yuge.

Apparently not, if Liam is to be believed as he has claimed the argument with Noel still stems from an incident where Liam pissed on his older brother's stereo.

The Oasis frontman was on the radio with US DJ Howard Stern who asked about their ongoing argument. When asked where the rivalry begun, Liam said, "We shared a bedroom and he'd bought this new soundsystem."

''I'd been out drinking, I was 15, had too many sherries, and I'd come in, and had a spliff as well, the room is spinning, I'd got out of bed, couldn't find the light switch so thought, 'F**k it, I'm gonna have to go man'."

''So I whipped it out, p***ed all over his new soundsystem and he's gone 'What the f**k are you doing? That's my f***ing new f***ing stereo?' 'It's alright, it'll f***ing dry won't it'. And I think he still holds a grudge from that and that was a long time ago."

''[The stereo] was the holy grail but when you gotta go, you gotta go, I ain't p***ing in my Paddington Bear pyjamas for no one.''

When asked by Stern whether he'd, you know, said sorry, he replied, "I said listen mate, it was either the soundsystem or your f***ing head, and I know he sleeps with his mouth open, so you take it or leave it my son.''

Were Noel listening, the apology would have felt more hollow still as his brother went on to say, "''I love our kid, he's cool, just a bit lost in celebrity world. Every time i see him he's got his arm round a crazy celebrity, it's like he's stalking them.''

He then called him a "stalker potato" explaining, that, "''Every time I see a couple of pictures of him and I just see a potato.''Maybe it's just the way my brain is wired - pouting potato, angry potato, stalker potato. When he's got his arm round Bono, stalker potato.''

Any hopes for the reunion then? Liam said, "'Without a doubt, that's my band. We've got to become brothers first before we can talk about the music, once we start liking each other, inevitable the next step is to take the band around the block for a spin."

Liam Gallagher "This Is The Third Coming”

They should be fucking scared - this is the third coming'

Liam Gallagher has said that any doubt around his potential as a solo artist after being in “two failed bands” has inspired him to ‘come back stronger’.

This year saw Gallagher launch his solo career after the demise of former bands Oasis and Beady Eye. Now, he’s back and refusing to ‘let the critics win’.

“I’m fucking glad I’m back, mate,” he told GQ, “because I know for a fact they’re sitting there – and you say they might be happy – but they’re sitting there going, ‘Fuck me, mate. He’s come again, man. Two divorces, fucking illegitimate kids, fucking two failed bands behind him, three bad haircuts and he’s still fucking coming’.

“Oh, and I’m gonna fucking come even more, mate, do you know what I mean? Because that’s the way it is. That’s who I am. That’s what I do. I’m not gonna sit back and let them win. So they should be fucking scared. They should be afraid. Without a doubt. This is the third coming.”

As well as opening up about his relationship with the estranged daughter he had with Lisa Moorish, Liam also discussed how the key to Oasis‘ success was that Noel was a ‘boring fuck’ and he was the ‘headcase’.
