Liam Gallagher
Oasis
Lollapalooza had barely started its opening day when it had its first major headline. Only 20 minutes into a set scheduled for an hour during the Chicago festival’s first day, Liam Gallagher walked offstage.
According to Setlist.fm, Gallagher opened with two songs he made famous with Oasis, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star” and “Morning Glory,” before moving on to two cuts from his upcoming As You Were, the single “Wall of Glass” and “Greedy Soul,” and then leaving the stage. Greg Kot, music critic for the Chicago Tribune, said that Gallagher ended the show without any explanation.
At 5:30PM Central, the time his set was supposed to end, Gallagher sent out a tweet in which he said vocal problems were the reason he cut his set short. “Sorry to the people who turned up for the gig in Chicago lollapalooza,” he wrote, “had a difficult gig last night which f—ed my voice. I’m gutted.”

Every once in a while a performer comes to Beijing that’s so phenomenal they’ve got the entire city chattering their name.
What’s your approach to writing music? Where do you find inspiration for your lyrics?
Everything that I’ve ever written about has been what’s gone on in my life, whether it’s the past, the present or the hopes I have for the future. I record all my ideas into a Dictaphone and anything that I find I keep coming back to, I’ll pursue it a little bit more. Lyrics I find very hard; melody comes easily and obviously I’m limited with my guitar playing but I seem to do ok.
Of all the songs you’ve ever written, which one(s) do you find the most meaningful?
There’s a new song on my album called “Universal Gleam” and I find it pretty honest and meaningful to me. There’s another song on the new album called “Greedy Soul” which has the same impact. It’s nice to get things off your chest.
What do you hope to bring to Beijing with your performance?
I hope to bring the Chinese fans lots of super sounds. We’re going to be playing some of the new album and lots of Oasis stone cold classics.
Can you tell us a bit about your life on the road? Any culture shocks you’ve experienced in Asia so far?
I’ve always enjoyed playing for my brothers and sisters in Asia. I’ve never really been shocked by anything. I go with the flow.

Below are a number of quotes from Liam Gallagher's interview with the current issue of GQ.
"People think that we lived on council estates in a box of flats, but they were decent houses. It weren’t a zoo. It was all right, to be fair. I’ve been to worse places. There are worse places down the road..."
“I didn’t go to school to learn, did I? I just went because my mum was the dinner lady. She’d go, ‘What have you got next, Liam?’’Oh, it’s double religion.’ And I’d cross over the railway tracks to my mate’s to smoke weed. Didn’t learn a thing. Left with no exams.”
“I went to The Hacienda. I liked some of the music, but even then I knew I needed a bit more substance. I remember coming out of the club one night and going home and upstairs and putting on The Stone Roses. The main thing about it I liked? It had an end. Not like dance tracks that go on for three f* Ming days It started, it took you somewhere and then it stopped.”
“Well, to cut a long story short, for years the band prided itself on not having tabloid f** *ing journalists in the dressing room. All of a sudden I saw Dominic Mohan and some other f***ing clown from the Sun waltzing around backstage, necking our champagne. Not having it.”
"I believe in paralleled dimensions, mate. People always say there’s two sides of the coin, but what about the third side? The bit in the middle? That’s what I’m into. The width. I believe in angels. God? I do and I don’t believe in Him. Or Her I dig science, too. But the big—bang theory? Not really a theory, is it? What, one explosion and that was it? Bit f***ing boring, if you ask me.”

The Rain
Liam Gallagher has spoken about joining The Rain as the singer with original Oasis members Guigsy and Bonehead and getting Noel to join them.
He told the current issue of GQ “I kind of just knew I could do it. I went to see The Rain in Yates’s Wine Bar in Didsbury; it left me buzzing. I knew Guigsy [Paul McGuigan, bass] and Bonehead [Paul Arthurs, guitar]. They lived up the road. I mean, the music wasn’t any good, but they asked me to audition. I was like, ’Audition?’ Like they were the f***ing Rolling Stones or something. So I went and had a little singsong. I guess I was nervous, but you have to deal with it. I had f*** all else. I saw it as a stepping stone. In the back of my head that day I knew that if I could get in here, I could go back to our kid [Noel], who’d been writing a shit load of songs and he could join as well and then we'd be a top band.”
When asked by the interviewer "How did he know Noel’s songs were any good?"
He replied “I’d been sharing a room with him for God knows how many years so I’d heard what he was writing. I knew how good he was, how good we could be. And we were. It happened. It began.”

Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Liam Gallagher has spoken about the fight that broke Oasis up in August 2009.
When asked about what exactly happened that night by GQ he said “I’ve heard Noel’s version a million f * * *ing times. I’ll happily tell you mine. I’m not shy of it and, no, I’m not bitter either. I like to get to the bottom of things. I’m like Columbo. Now, I realise I’m not the easiest person to work with, but when you join a rock’n’roll band, for me, there are no limits — you drink, you take drugs, you party, you mess up, you stop. And then you think about it and move on. That all seemed to go out of the window with Noel. He was the sensible one, I get it, but you can be too sensible. As far as I’m concerned, a big rule book came out and he started ticking people off one by one.”
When asked by the interview "When did this start?".
He added “F*** knows. Maybe a year before. Beforehand, we had our scraps and then we’d get back together and have a breather. All of a sudden Noel was Eamonn f***ing Andrews from This Is Your Life, with a big red book going, ‘What time do you call this? It says here that I am in charge and you can’t be turning up late like that .’ I'm like, ‘F* * * off, man.’ Oasis were never professional. That wasn’t what we were about. He wandered off sometimes and all...”
Interviewer "Noel wouldn’t show for up gigs?"
“No, his ego is too big not to turn up.”
When asked did he swing at Noel with a guitar. He said “What, I wielded it ‘like an axe’? Leave it out, mate. He’s been watching too many episodes of Hollyoaks. I’m not inclined like that and I never f* * *ing hit my brother because I f* * *ing love him. Not that night anyway. There was a guitar being booted, yes, but because he booted mine across the room first. But he set booby traps for me, stuff he knew I hated, all that last year, and me being me I walked straight into them. He knew he wanted to go solo. He knew we weren't selling records. He knew we were on the descent and, yes, we all knew we’d probably peaked at Knebworth in ’96. He just didn’t have the balls to say he wanted to leave. so he set me up to look like the bad guy."

The Smiths
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 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 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”.
