Dave Sardy On The Power Of Liam Gallagher

No comments

Taken from the current issue of MOJO that is on sale now.

“Liam Is Liam Every Minute Of Every Day”

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.

The New Issue Of 'FourFourTwo' Is A Rock ‘N’ Roll Special Featuring Oasis, Robin Friday And More

No comments

Get your hands on the latest issue of FourFourTwo magazine – available in print from Thursday or on your device now!

Growing up as a teenager in the ’90s, my two obsessions were football and music – specifically Fulham and Oasis. Back then, Fulham were a lower-league team beginning to rise and Oasis quickly became the biggest band on the planet.

In August 1998, my two worlds collided when Manchester City came to Craven Cottage on a balmy Friday night – sat behind me in the boxes at the back of the old Hammersmith Terrace were Liam and Noel Gallagher, behaving like true rock stars and trading insults with the home fans.

I found myself in an odd position that my teenage brain struggled to deal with. In front of me were 11 men that I idolised, behind me were two men that I worshipped – and they were on opposing sides. Fulham won 3-0 and by the end of the night a new hero emerged: a German striker by the name of Dirk Lehmann, who bagged a brace.

Football and music are as important to me now as they were then – as we discover in this issue, Manchester City and football were always going to be core to Oasis’ identity, too.

Elsewhere, we tell the stories of other rockstar footballers – including the greatest player you never saw, Robin Friday – as well as remembering the mercurial George Best’s post-Manchester United career and Elton John’s years owning Watford. Enjoy the mag.

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

There is also a piece on Reading and Cardiff City LEGEND Robin Friday that features an interview with Paolo Hewitt who talks about writing a book about him with Guigsy.

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.

No comments


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.

This release is available exclusively via the adidas app. Download the app now for free to shop.

Alan McGee “Oasis Is Now Cross-Generational”

No comments

Taken from the new issue of MOJO that is on sale now.

Former Creation boss  Alan McGee on the mad rise and long legacy of  the band he signed.

When I signed Oasis, I don’t think I really realised what they had, songs-wise. I didn't even hear Live Forever until two or three months into our involvement. I was on the beach in Maui, and a UPS guy came and found me and gave me a cassette. I put it in my Walkman, and it was Live Forever!

Noel used to sit around my flat, just me and him, and he would look at me and go, “We are the best band in the world!” In my head, I’m thinking, It’s just me and you talking, you can calm down, there’s no journalist here. But that’s how mad that band was. And it actually ended up being true. They were absolute f*cking superstars. The obvious highlight was being sent the cassette of Wonderwall. They’d been recording [What’s The Story] for one week, and the songs came in this order: Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back In Anger, and then a couple of others. 

I put it on, and there was Wonderwall, and I went, F*ck, we’re going to do it – if we’ve not already done it, we’re doing it! It was unbelievable. The beautiful thing about Oasis for me now is that it’s cross-generational: you meet people’s 18-year-old sons and daughters, and they love Oasis. Now they have longevity, and it really is a bit like The Beatles – they’ve just got the songs.

My three favourites are Slide Away, then Acquiesce, and Stay Young: (sings) “Stay young and beautiful...” I’m going to play it now on Spotify, man!I look back on everything with fondness and wonder – of course I do. What a great time, and we managed to all survive it. I’m still in music, managing people. I’m in touch with Noel, he’s a great guy. And Liam has been very kind to my bands. He has given Cast [who McGee now manages] the 19 stadium shows – so, respect, know what I mean?

Noel Gallagher On How His Lyrics Evolved Over Time

No comments

Taken from the new issue of MOJO that is on sale now.

Noel’s lyrics have taken some stick, often from NOEL. Here’s his take on them.

"I like the lyrics to Morning Glory. “Tomorrow never knows what it doesn’t know too soon” – what the fuck does that mean? Well I don’t f*cking know. I only wrote it. But those lyrics, they were tied up in the times, and every-thing around that time was vital. I couldn’t sit and write lyrics like that now, because there’s too much baggage and you second-guess yourself as you get longer into it. Between Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants and Heathen Chemistry, I kind of fell into the trap of trying to sum up the meaning of life in every f*cking song. Since then I’ve rediscovered my interest in watching the clock go around or queuing up for a pint of milk.

Some of that stuff, you had to be there. Most of the songs I write, they’re there, in my head, music and lyrics. When it comes the time to commit it to paper, it’s just a matter of filling in the gaps for Liam. All the lyrics to Morning Glory were just in the air. I’d have the first line of every verse, and the chorus I’d have. All the lyrics to that were written when I was 22, 23.

There were lines that would tie all the songs together that were written, for want of a better word, in the f*cking Britpop madness. But it would be wrong to say that I wrote a song about what was happening at the time. I’d never be able to look myself in the mirror. Write a song about being famous?"
