Dave Sardy On The Power Of Liam Gallagher
Dave Sardy, producer of Oasis’s last two albums, on the power of the singer.
As everyone knows, Liam has such an amazing f*cking voice, but I didn’t really understand it until we’d started. He’s a surprisingly introspective person, but he’s not going to talk about, “Why don’t I do this with my voice?” He just does it. He is all id. But when I first started trying to record him, none of the normal microphones could stand up to the level of his voice. We would put up these classic tube mikes, and he would just f*cking obliterate them. Finally, we had to start setting microphones as you would in front of a guitar cabinet.
Then I watched one of those documentaries that came out, and he was talking about how they didn’t have a PA in the beginning, and he had to sing to get over the sound of Noel’s guitar, and I was like, So that’s where that voice comes from! Most singers are doing the affectation of sounding loud but singing quietly to save their voice, whereas Liam is always literally singing at the level of a f*cking Marshall cabinet. It’s that loud – you can’t put a regular mike on him.
The other thing is that Liam is Liam every minute of every day. There is no difference, in front of a microphone, on a bus, in a bar, at a restaurant. In my opinion, he is the perfect version of himself at all times.

Oasis x Man City: The masterplan
In 1994, a legendary photographer shot some iconic portraits for a soon-to-be legendary band. As Oasis’ reunion tour begins, the snapper and others explain how football was at the heart of their supersonic rise.
The finest player you never saw
Wild child Robin Friday was a pro footballer for less than four years, and dead before he was 40. But his legend lives on, thanks to his skills and his antics – from squeezing Bobby Moore’s testicles to impersonating a policeman.

ADIDAS ORIGINALS X OASIS
THE BRAND. THE BAND. THE LEGACY LIVES ON.
AFTER 30 YEARS OF SHARED HISTORY, adidas Originals and OASIS join forces to celebrate an undisputed connection rooted in music, fashion and British identity. Original Forever is more than a campaign. It’s a nod to a moment, a movement and a time that defined it all.
With the return of the band for Live 25’, the collaboration brings a new era of looks into the now, reworking era-defining silhouettes with a modern edge. From Firebird tracksuits to classic jerseys and jackets, the Live 25’ collection honours the past while living in the present.
This film captures a journey from the city streets to stadiums, 90s anthems to the now. It’s a tribute to two brothers, two icons, one band, and a brand that’s been with them every step of the way.
LIVE FOREVER. ORIGINALS FOREVER.
