Liam Gallagher Isn't Arsed About Dance Music

Musician and songwriter Liam Gallagher is about to release his debut album as a solo artist, but before the material drops he’s doing a bit of his classic bashing and says he doesn’t care much for dance music, or anything else for that matter.

In an interview with Noisey, the Oasis frontman lets loose on a plethora of topics. On the subject of music, Liam reveals he’s not interested in anything new these days.

“I'm not arsed about fuckin' dance music and reggae. Well, reggae's alright. But there's too many so-called rock'n'roll bands in England getting away with fuckin' murder. They should be ashamed of the shit the put out. They need fuckin' shooting.”

Liam then elaborates on the subject, touching on how dance music acts or bands use the guitar as somewhat of a gimmick.

“They've got one foot in the fuckin' dance world and one foot in the fuckin' guitar world and they're just seeing which one fuckin' bites. They're there with their fuckin' keyboards and whistles and shit. If you're going to do ‘guitar music’ you have to put a fuckin' guitar on a record. Put the fucker in. Stop wearing it like it's a fuckin' necklace.”

Liam Gallagher Isn't Impressed With British Guitar Music At This Moment In Time

He isn't impressed with British guitar music at this moment in time

Liam Gallagher has said English bands “should be ashamed of the shit they put out” in a new interview.

The legendary musician recently returned to making music and is set to release his debut solo album ‘As You Were‘ in October.

Speaking to Noisey, Gallagher said there are “too many so-called rock’n’roll bands in England getting away with fucking murder.”

“They should be ashamed of the shit they put out,” he said. “They need fucking shooting.” While he declined to name any one band specifically, he did expand on what he found so bad about some groups’ output.

“They’ve got the tools to make guitar music great and they’re just fucking doing it half-arsed,” he said. “They’ve got one foot in the fucking dance world and one foot in the fucking guitar world and they’re just seeing which one fucking bites.”

He continued: “They’re there with their fucking keyboards and whistles and shit. If you’re going to do “guitar music” you have to put a fucking guitar on a record. Put the fucker in. Stop wearing it like it’s a fucking necklace.”

Meanwhile, Gallagher has also given his opinion on several music icons.

During an interview with GQ, Liam is asked about his thoughts on The Rolling Stones‘ frontman Mick Jagger. His verdict: “Fair play to ol’ dinosaur hips, but I’m not that man. I’m anti-entertainment. Poor sod, he’s got to dance until he’s 108.”

On Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl’s infamous throne that he performed live in when he broke his leg, Liam says: “He ruined it for all of us. He broke his leg and still toured. Who does that? Now if I have a ‘cold’ I can’t cancel because I’ll look like a wuss.”

Liam Gallagher: “I Run Like Forrest Gump"

The former Oasis frontman explains his fitness regime to Chris Moyles in a very special interview.

Liam Gallagher keeps in shape by running - claiming that he exercises to clear his head and help him stay focussed.

In a very special new interview with Chris Moyles, the former Oasis man explained his fitness regime.

You can watch the clip here.

Liam said of running: "I fucking love it, man. Some days, when you’re hungover, you’re thinking, I can’t be arsed, but once you get out there, it’s the best thing ever. Everything just falls in to place."

"I run for about an hour. Up hills, down hills. I don’t time myself, I ain’t got one of them silly watches and I don’t listen to music. Just run, I’m like Forrest Gump, but cooler-looking."

Liam continued: "For me, it reshuffles the pack, I get back home and I go, 'Right, I’ve got to do that, he’s got to be fucking told’. When I haven’t run I’m like a neurotic fucking housewife, man.

"It’s all about the head, man. My head, you split that open, there’s a fucking 24 pack going on, you know what I mean? I’m not one of them lads that are looking skinny. I don’t wear skinny jeans so no need to be skinny. I certainly don’t want to be fucking six stone, you know what I mean?"

Liam Gallagher On Why Oasis Need To Make A New Album

Liam Gallagher has admitted that he still would like an Oasis reunion, as he and Noel are “better together”.

Speaking in a new Rolling Stone podcast, the former Oasis man has admitted that he “would prefer to be speaking about an Oasis album than a Liam solo album.”

“The English press seem to think that I’m going ’round giving the fans hope and then in the same breath, or the next interview, shooting them down,” Liam complains in the podcast. “All I said the other day on that Beats Radio was before we get back together, if we get ever back together, we’d have to become brothers and friends again. And then I imagine once that happens, and we start hanging out or whatever, and we’re mates, and we’re talking, and we’re each on a nice respectful level, I guess there would be, inevitably, we’d go, ‘Fuck it, should we take the fuckin’ band out for a spin, go on tour?’”

Liam continues: ‘“I know he [Noel] doesn’t want to be supporting U2 and playing a third of a stadium half-empty when he could do it himself with his brother. I would prefer to be speaking about an Oasis album than a Liam solo album. And I know Noel Gallagher would. We’re better together.”

Liam Gallagher: On Being Bored For Four Years

The star claims his solo career was kick-started when girlfriend Debbie Gwyther told him: “You can’t sit in the pub all day”.

Liam Gallagher has been telling Radio X that he spent years doing nothing between the demise of his band Beady Eye and the launch of his solo career and that it was his girlfriend Debbie Gwyther who gave him the impetus to start performing again.

You can see Liam explain all in the clip here.

Beady Eye was Liam’s first post-Oasis project, featuring former bandmates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock. They released two albums: Different Gear, Still Speeding in 2011 and BE in 2013, but after a final show in Japan in March of 2014, the group disbanded.

In a brand new interview with Chris Moyles, Liam claims: “There was four years of doing nothing, bored, no itinerary. I was fucking sitting in the house, scratching my arse, bored out of my mind.”

“Debbie was doing all the work, I was doing all the scratching. I’d try and make her stay off work, to hang out. She was just like, ‘Come on. You can’t sit in the fucking pub all day. Let’s do something’.”

“I started playing guitar, messing about, done a couple of tunes, played them to someone, someone likes them, they offered us a deal. I was meeting writers, coming back, going in the studio and then here we are today."

On This Day In Oasis History...

"Live Forever" is a song by British rock group Oasis. Written by guitarist Noel Gallagher, the song was released as the third single from their debut album Definitely Maybe on 8 August 1994, just prior to that album's release.

Gallagher wrote the song in 1991, before he joined Oasis. Inspired by The Rolling Stones' "Shine a Light," "Live Forever" features a basic song structure and lyrics with an optimistic outlook that contrasted with the attitude of the grunge bands popular at the time. The song was the first Oasis single to enter the top ten in the United Kingdom, and garnered critical acclaim.

Background and recording
Noel Gallagher wrote "Live Forever" in 1991, while working for a building company in his hometown of Manchester. After his foot was crushed by a pipe in an accident, he was given a less-strenuous job working in the storeroom, allowing him more time to write songs. One night he was listening to The Rolling Stones' album Exile on Main St. While playing one of his own chord progressions, Gallagher noted that it sounded good against one of the vocal melodies from the album: "It was the bit from 'Shine a Light' that goes [sings], 'May the good lord shine a light on you,'" Gallagher recalled. Gallagher incorporated the melody, changing the line to "Maybe I don’t really want to know". For a period afterwards, that was the only part of the song Gallagher had completed.

The song was later instrumental in helping the band secure their record deal with Creation Records. Reflecting on when he first heard the song, Creation boss Alan McGee recalled "It was probably the single greatest moment I've ever experienced with them."

The demo version of "Live Forever" begins with an acoustic guitar intro. While recording the album version, the record's producer Owen Morris cut out this intro and replaced it with a drumbeat played by Tony McCarroll. Morris further cut a second section in Noel's guitar solo. Although Gallagher was upset, Morris felt the part had sounded "a bit like fucking Slash from Guns N' Roses".

Reception

"Live Forever" was released on 8 August 1994 as the band's third single, a month before the release of their debut album Definitely Maybe. The song had been part of the band's set for longer than a year at that point, and had amassed so many mentions in reviews of the group that "its release [as a single] had long seemed inevitable." In its review of the single, NME found "Live Forever" to be an improvement over Oasis' previous singles, concluding, "Basically, what thus far looked like obnoxious Manc arrogance suddenly looks like sheer effortlessness. A terrific record."

While Oasis' first two singles, "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker", were modestly received, it was "Live Forever" that "got the world's attention." "Live Forever" became Oasis' first top ten hit, reaching number ten on the British singles charts in 1994. In 1995, the song became the band's first chart success in the United States, reaching number two and ten on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts, respectively. Noel Gallagher commented on the praise given to the song: "People said to me after 'Live Forever', 'Where are you gonna go after that?' And I was like, I don't think it's that good. I think it's a fucking good song, but I think I can do better."

"Live Forever" has garnered additional acclaim years after its release. In 2006, "Live Forever" was named the greatest song of all time in a poll released by Q; the song had ranked ninth in a similar Q poll three years before. In 2007, "Live Forever" placed number one in the NME and XFM poll of the 50 "Greatest Indie Anthems Ever". The song was selected by Noel Gallagher for inclusion on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks in 2006.

Music videos





Two music videos were made for "Live Forever" for British and American airplay. The original video, directed by Carlos Grasso, features unusual imagery such as Liam Gallagher sitting on a chair affixed to a wall, and a number of scenes are devoted to the band burying drummer Tony McCarroll alive. Some of the UK version of the promotional video was filmed at the Strawberry Fields memorial, the area of New York City's Central Park dedicated to John Lennon—the single cover features 251 Menlove Avenue, the childhood home of Lennon. The American video, directed by Nick Egan, features the band playing in an office with pictures of Sid Vicious, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Marc Bolan, and Bobby Moore on the wall. Both videos are included on the 2004 Definitely Maybe DVD.

Liam Gallagher ""I Miss The Old Noel, Who Was A Bit Of A F**kin' Lad"

Liam Gallagher has let rip at brother Noel Gallagher once again, this time accusing him of selling out.

The former Oasis frontman has been frequently zinging his sibling in the press over the last few months, particularly after Noel's no-show at the recent One Love Manchester benefit concert.

However, it was Noel Gallagher's recent solo music with the High Flying Birds that raised the ire of Liam during an interview on Radio X's The Chris Moyles Show.

"I miss the old Noel, who was a bit of a f**kin' lad and that, and we had a laugh and all that," the singer complained.

"I'm not saying we should be the same person but he seems like he's after something else in life, man, and I don't know what it is. Seems very easily... I don't know, he's not like me."

When Chris asked whether Noel was simply settling down with age, Liam countered: "If that's the case then there's no place for rock and roll in that case. Because I'm not saying he should be like me and he should be going out doing what he's doing, because we all change and I've changed. I've definitely slowed down.

"I'm not saying you should be going out f**king gobbing on people and f**king swearing and shit like that or whatever it is that people think we are, but… I'm more on about the corporate side of it.

"He seems very, he's living in a world of, he's living over there in that world, you know what I mean, and there's no f**king room for Oasis in that world as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather f**king work in McDonald's mate or get hit by a f**king 18-wheeler at 100 miles an hour, than bring my band and put it in that world."

However, Liam was quick to admit that there is one area where he'll never be able to compare to brother Noel.

"I'm definitely not on his level [as a writer]," Liam said. "He's a far better songwriter than me, because he's been doing it for years.

"But I'm nowhere near. I'm not on his level, he's on a different level when it comes to songwriting, but as a singer, that's my gig man."

Liam Gallagher Would Rather f****** Work In McDonald’s Than Reunite Oasis Right Now

Liam Gallagher has said he would rather work in a fast food restaurant or get hit by a truck than reunite Oasis right now.

Gallagher said he wouldn’t allow the band to come together while he and his brother Noel are ‘living in different worlds’.

The 44-year-old said he misses the “old Noel who was a bit of a f****** lad” but that the High Flying Birds frontman is now “after something else in life.”

Speaking to Radio X’s Chris Moyles he said: “I’m not saying he should be like me and he should be going out doing what he’s doing, because we all change and I’ve changed, I’ve definitely slowed down.

“I’m not saying you should be going out f****** gobbing on people and f****** swearing and s*** like that or whatever it is that people think we are, but I’m more on about the corporate side of it.  He’s living over there in that world, you know what I mean, and there’s no f****** room for Oasis in that world as far as I’m concerned.

“I’d rather f****** work in McDonald’s mate or get hit by a f****** 18-wheeler at 100 miles an hour, than bring my band and put it in that world.”

The siblings have been feuding for years with Liam frequently targeting his brother with potato based insults on Twitter.

But despite their differences, Liam praised Noel for being a “far better songwriter” with “some really good strong songs.”

Asked whether Noel would be a fan of his upcoming album As You Were, he said: “I think he will dig it, without a doubt, and he’ll come out and say it like a good boy, you know what I mean?

“He’ll come out and go, ‘That’s a good f****** album’.  But deep down he’ll be f****** going ‘That little f*****’, you know what I mean?”

Don't Expect To See Liam Gallagher On Carpool Karaoke Anytime Soon

The Oasis man revealed why he won't be doing Carpool Karaoke, and didn't hold back when it came to The Late Late Show presenter.

Liam Gallagher has revealed he won't do James Corden's Carpool Karaoke even though he's never watched it.

The rocker explained why he wouldn't take part in the popular segment - which sees stars sing while in a car with the British presenter - although his manager and girlfriend Debbie Gwyther disagrees.

Speaking to GQ magazine, he said: "No, thank you very much. No f***ing chance mate. With that fat bloke from Kevin and Perry?"

Debbie replied: "It's called Gavin and Stacey and you've never watched it."

However, the rocker insisted: "I don't need to watch it to know I won't like it. James Corden is a k**b head."

Meanwhile, footage has emerged of Gallagher joining in on a jam session in Montreal.

The Oasis legend played the Osheaga Music & Arts festival in the country this weekend, (4-6 August), but took some time out to engage in one of his favourite pastimes... going to the pub.

Liam Gallagher On Using Twitter

The former Oasis frontman also claims “there’s a lot of bollocks” on social media: “Apparently I’m a keen gardener.”

Liam Gallagher is one of the current kings of Twitter. He’s not only been using the social media platform to update his fans of his current activities and location, but he’s also regularly venting his spleen about just about anything.

In a very special new interview with Chris Moyles that was broadcast on Facebook Live tonight (Monday 7 August), Liam has explained that he loves Twitter:

“I enjoy it man, I mean it’s nice to put a few wrongs right, you know what I mean? And when people get a bit fucking mouthy about shit you just go, ‘No, this is what happened’.”

You can watch Liam talk about Twitter in the clip here.

Asked by Moyles if he reads replies from fans, Liam put the record straight: "I do reply to a few cocky little cunts, sometimes. There’s no point in doing it if you don’t. It’s craic ain’t it?”
Gallagher also warned that there was a lot of inaccurate nonsense floating around on social media - particularly about himself.

“The press or whoever they are,” he continued, “A lot of them they just talk absolute shit, you know what I mean? There is a lot of bollocks out there.

“I’m a church-goer, apparently. Me and God get a few things off our chest, man, every now and again.

“Apparently, I’m a fucking keen gardener as well. I got invited to go to the Chelsea fucking Flower show, because apparently, I’m into fucking flowers.

“I have a garden, but I’m not keen on it. I much prefer it be fucking paved. The minute I get some money in the bank there’ll be fucking concrete going over it.

“I’m a keen concreter.”

Liam Gallagher Says Noel Will Dig His Album

The former Oasis frontman also claims that his brother is a “better songwriter, but I’m a better singer”.

Liam Gallagher has been explaining to Radio X that he thinks his brother Noel will enjoy his first solo album, As You Were… but that the old sibling rivalry will continue to rear its ugly head.

You can see Liam explain all in our clip here.

In a very special new interview with Chris Moyles that was broadcast on Facebook Live tonight (Monday 7 August), Liam was asked if Noel had heard any of the new songs from the debut album, which is to be released in October.

Liam replied: “Oh yeah, of course he will have. And as a music lover he’ll like it. And he’ll come out and say it like a good boy. He’ll go, ‘That’s a good fucking album’. But deep down he’ll be fucking going, ‘That little fucker’, you know what I mean?

“I’m definitely not on his level, he’s a far better songwriter than me, because he’s been doing it for years. But as a singer, that’s my gig man.”
