Liam Gallagher Slams Brother Noel In BBC Radio 2 Interview

No comments

Liam Gallagher has lashed out at his brother Noel Gallagher for splitting up Oasis, saying the band is now done, while criticising him over his One Love Manchester no show in an epic rant.

Since Noel’s no-show at One Love Manchester, the chances of an Oasis reunion have been getting slimmer and slimmer.

As Liam Gallagher sets out on his solo tour, the singer appeared on Chris Evans’ BBC Radio 2 show to promote his new album, As You Were.

Apart from announcing he’s performing at Glastonbury Festival 2017, the star was asked by Evans for an update on a Oasis reunion.

Liam replied: “Oasis, that’s done mate. That’s done and has been done for a long, long time.”

He continued: “Regardless of what happened over the weekend or whatever – Noel Gallagher doesn’t want it. Full stop. He’s quite happy doing his stuff.

“He doesn’t want to have to entertain me because he knows I won’t stand for his stuff. Do you know what I mean?

“He wants to surround himself with little yes men that he can hire and fire whenever he wants, but he’s not getting that with me.

“It doesn’t matter about me digging him out or underlining the lack of empathy and sympathy that he has for people in Manchester. That’s got nothing to do with it. Oasis is done.”

Liam added: “I didn’t want the band to split up in the first place. He’s made out like something really terrible has happened.

“He wanted to end because he wanted to go solo. I don’t know why people can’t get that into their heads. I’d do it, but it ain’t happening.

“Every time I say I’d do it, it sounds like I’m desperate for it. I’ve got this coming out now, the songs are absolutely stomping.

“Also, I’m better looking, a better singer, I’m just cooler all round. You’d have to ask him. I don’t know what his problem is, but he’s milking it mate.”

Oasis At Knebworth: 20 Years Since Britpop's Biggest Gigs

No comments












Twenty years ago today, Oasis played the first of two concerts at Knebworth in Hertfordshire, England.

They were the biggest gigs of their era. The crowning glory of Britpop. Incredibly, one in 20 Britons applied for tickets.

A quarter of a million eventually got to see Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Guigsy and Whitey as they confirmed their status as the most popular British band since The Beatles. (A status that was swiftly rescinded when the band released their overblown, coke-addled third album Be Here Now 12 months later.)

But, in that moment, it was hard to argue with Noel when he strode on stage and declared: "You're making history, you lot."

"I'll never forget the sheer scale of it," says Bonehead, AKA guitarist Paul Arthurs.

"We flew in from London by helicopter and sort of circled the site. It landed behind the stage but we were like: 'Let's just do a once round and take it all in.' I'll never forget it."

Not that conditions were completely idyllic. According to one report, singer Liam Gallagher was not too enamoured with the catering, screaming about the state of the sausages and flinging a handful of corn on the cob to the floor.

Bonehead also found it difficult to prepare, thanks to an inconsiderate support act.

"We stayed in these Winnebago, caravan things at the back of the stage," he tells BBC 6 Music.

"I remember thinking 'I'll just have a quick hour in bed before we go on', and the Prodigy came on. If you've ever tried to sleep 20ft from the stage when the Prodigy were on live? Forget that."

Sleep deprived or not, the band blew away the fans. "Hello, hello, hello. Let's go," said Liam, before launching into a gut-punching opening salvo of Columbia, Acquiesce and Supersonic.

Almost two hours later, they ended their set with a celebratory cover of The Beatles' I Am The Walrus, capped by a spectacular fireworks display.

But it was the ballads, tucked away in the second half of the set, that really brought the crowd together - 125,000 voices per night united for the choruses of Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger.

Despite the band's later reputation for attracting a less refined crowd, the atmosphere was overwhelmingly good natured. In between support acts, the audience engaged in mock fights with empty paper cups, while police recorded only one arrest.

Attended by Kate Moss, Chris Evans and Mick Hucknall (who set tongues wagging by bringing along soap star Martine McCutcheon), the shows made headline news - but the importance was not immediately apparent to the musicians.

"It's weird," says John Power, whose band Cast were one of the support acts. "Sometimes these things, because you're involved in it, and because you see the bands all the time... it felt like it was just another a stepping stone to where this movement, or all these bands were going.

"Oasis were massive obviously. But I think, now, looking back on it, I don't think it could have got any bigger than that."

Always the most analytical member of Oasis, Noel Gallagher realised sooner than most that the band had peaked.

"I remember sitting there, at Knebworth, in the backstage area, and someone saying, 'Well, what now?' And I was like, 'I couldn't tell ya,'" he later told Uncut magazine.

"And that was how I felt for a good couple of years afterwards. I really suffered. It's like, what do you do when you've done everything? You kind of sink into boredom. Kind of directionless."

Looking back, Power agrees: "I think maybe that is the time where maybe [Britpop] started to slowly come down a bit, like.

"That doesn't mean there wasn't great performances going on and great music being made - but you can only contain so much fizz in a can before you've got to pop it."

For fans, however, Knebworth is a fond memory (even if the queues for the toilets and food stalls remain a nightmare).

The gigs were even enough to rile Liam's arch-enemy Robbie Williams into booking three nights at Knebworth, before allegedly asking Oasis to support him in a letter accompanied by a pair of tap dancing shoes.

Not everyone was so bowled over, though.

Matthew Wright, writing in The Mirror, called the shows "as flat as stale champagne", prompting a foul-mouthed phone call from Noel, who told him: "That's the last time you have anything to do with my [expletive] band."

Meanwhile, Henry Lytton Cobbold, who owns the Knebworth estate, has an altogether more unique perspective on the weekend's events.

"Amusingly, Noel Gallagher on Sunday morning, decided he wanted a bath, so he came up to the back door of Knebworth House, rang the doorbell and asked if he could have a bath," he recalls.

"My dad, who was in the house at the time, showed him up to the Queen Elizabeth bathroom - and brought him a bottle of champagne.

"I've since read him describe that he was served champagne by liveried servants, but it was actually my dad!

"He then wrote in the Knebworth House guest book: 'Noel Gallagher (clean!)'

"As an historic house with an archivist and a museum, those things now become part of our collection.

"I just wish we'd kept the soap."

You can hear more about Oasis's landmark Knebworth gigs on Steve Lamacq's BBC 6 Music show from 16:00 BST on Wednesday. The programme will conclude with a broadcast of the concert, as originally heard on BBC Radio 1 in 1996.

Oasis documentary makers are on the hunt for footage and photos of the band up to 1996. Did you take photos or film at any of the following gigs?

The band's 1994 and 1995 Japan Tours.
The Newcastle Riverside gig, 09/08/94.
The Liverpool Lomax, 13/04/94.
The Limelight, Belfast, 04/09/94.
Whisky A Gogo, LA, 29/09/94.

Any photographs or footage of the band taken backstage/off stage/at parties/ publicity events etc is also incredibly useful.

They are also looking for Chris Evans's interview with Damon Albarn on his Radio 1 show in which he compares an Oasis track to Status Quo.

Liam Gallagher Forms Supergroup With The Who's Roger Daltrey

No comments













Liam Gallagher and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey are forming a supergroup for the upcoming TFI Friday comeback episode.

TFI Friday will return for a one-off live special at 9pm next Friday (June 12), hosted by Chris Evans.

A TFI spokesman has confirmed to NME that Gallagher and Daltrey will perform 'My Generation' as part of a supergroup featuring The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie and former Oasis drummer (and Ringo Starr's son) Zak Starkey.

"Liam's got a bit of time on his hands since Beady Eye called it a day last year so he fancied trying his hand at something new," a 'source' also told The Sun. "He's told his mates he's pretty bored. Other than Noel, you would be hard pushed to find a better set of bandmates than Roger, Ian and Zak. It's a proper supergroup and the performance will be something to remember."

The yet-unnamed will be joined by fellow musical guests Blur, Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Mani, Rudimental and Years & Years. It's not yet known whether the Gallagher-Daltrey-Broudie-Starkey supergroup will play any further shows following the TFI Friday performance.

Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher has discussed his recent involvement in a charity football match in Italy. Gallagher appeared alongside a number of former Juventus players like Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedved at the Juventus Stadium in Torino on Tuesday night (June 2). The match was organised by the Italian equivalent of Soccer Aid.

Speaking about the event, Gallagher has since said: "The invitation to take part came from an old friend of mine Andrea Dulio who used to work for Sony Italy whom I knew throughout the Oasis era."

Gallagher added: "I’ve played a few in my time with the mighty Oasis but never football. I must say I was a little nervous in front of 45,000 crazy Italians... I’m not sure what was said at half time as I was on the piss around that time as I was substituted 20 minutes into the game much to my delight as I was fucked," Gallagher told The Secret Footballer. "I do run most days but I haven’t had a proper kickabout since 1999."

Liam Gallagher Will Be A Guest On TFI Friday With Blur, Roger Daltrey, Mani And More

No comments














15 years after Chris Evans' anarchic chat show TFI Friday ended, it's back for one night only on June 12th. Yesterday Evans revealed the line-up and it includes Brit-poppers for all those viewers nostalgic for the series' late 90s heyday: old rivals Blur and Liam Gallagher.

Roger Daltrey, Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Mani and The Lightening Seeds' Ian Broudie will also be making an appearance, Evans confirmed on Twitter.

Yesterday he answered the questions of tweeters eager to know whether pub trickster 'Will' (YES), original writer Danny Baker (YES) and the Freak or Unique segment would also be making a comeback (YES YES YES!), and if Samuel L Jackson was cast in Star Wars because of his appearance on TFI Friday (correct, replied Evans).

The Ocean Colour Scene theme tune will also be heard, and the set crammed with a heckling audience will be "same but different," said Evans. "Bit of an issue. They knocked our old studio down two months ago. D'oh!"

When TFI Friday launched in 1996, it was broadcast live but that changed when Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder swore repeatedly on air (he's been barred from Channel 4 ever since). The time round it will presumably be pre-recorded before its 9pm broadcast.

Evans has been posting countdown videos on YouTube and in the latest Dolly Parton, David Bowie and Hugh Grant are wildly applauded when they braved the enormously popular, defiantly unpredictable show.
