Oasis, released their second studio album, ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory’ on the 2nd of October 1995, and unsurprisingly the record went straight in at number one on the charts.
There is no doubt that Noel Gallagher is one of the greatest songwriters of our time and that brother Liam is arguably the greatest frontman of any band. (Please bring back Oasis, please).
The lads have something else in common other than their love for music… they have a habit of saying exactly what is on their minds, a habit that we just happen to enjoy immensely.
So we decided to mark the eighteenth anniversary of the Oasis album with a collection of the best quotes by the Gallagher brothers.
Brotherly love…
Liam: “I like Noel outside the band. Human Noel, that’s my brother, I f**king adore him and I’d do anything for him. But the geezer that’s in this f**king business, he’s one of the biggest cocks in the universe.”
Noel: “Liam is… rude, arrogant, intimidating, and lazy. He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”
Liam’s reaction to the press conference announcing Noel and the High Flying Birds album: “Shitbag.”
Liam’s style tips…
Liam: “I have got a bit of an issue with cardigans. They’re shit aren’t they?”
Liam: “Noel’s got an old man vibe going on, our kid. Big woolly jumpers and cardigans… Terry Wogan, Val Doonican shit.”
Liam: “You know them shoes that just come out at you like a f**king snooker cue?! It’s like, ‘Leave it out, man! You got a license for them bastards or what?’”
Noel loves a bit of Ireland…
Noel: “I f**king love U2 and I always have done – I love the size of that band. Whether you like them or not, you cannot deny that U2 have written some great f**king songs.”
Noel: “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my Mum. I know I’ve got Irish blood because I wake up everyday with a hangover.”
Noel: “Louis Walsh, he’s mad as a box of frogs isn’t he? He lives in a parallel universe.”
Modesty…
Liam: “I suppose I do get sad, but not for too long. I just look in the mirror and go, ‘What a good-looking f**k you are.’”
Noel: “We’re not arrogant, we just believe we’re the best band in the world.”
Tell us what you really think lads…
Liam on Wayne Rooney: “He looks like a f**king balloon with a f**king Weetabix crushed on top. He’s better off as a skinhead, isn’t he?”
Noel: “Kylie Minogue is just a demonic little idiot as far as I’m concerned.”
Oasis…
Liam: “Even though I love Beady Eye, I’d prefer to still be in Oasis, because that was my thing. Oasis was my life.”
Noel: “You can’t get bored of 15,000 people shouting for ‘Wonderwall’. That’s better than drugs.”
They love each other really…
Liam: “I’m a better singer than him [Noel]. I’m the man, man.”
Noel: “Sure I love Liam, but not as much as I love Pot Noodle.”
On other music…
Noel: “I despise hip hop. Loathe it. Eminem is an idiot and I find 50 Cent the most distasteful character I have ever crossed in my life.”
Liam on Kanye West: “If I ever win any more f**king awards I’d personally invite him to get up and f**king take my award of me. I f**king tell you that… That was rude when he did that to that girl, that Taylor Swift. So yeah, give me an award and see where it goes. It will roll out of his f**king arse.”
Noel: “I feel sorry for Keane, No matter how hard they try they’ll always be squares.”
Liam on Radiohead’s new album: “I like to think that what we do, we do f**king well. Them writing a song about a f**king tree? Give me a f**king break! A thousand year old tree? Go f**k yourself!”
Noel: “Just because you sell lots of records it doesn’t mean to say you’re any good. Look at Phil Collins.”
The lads on life…
Noel: “Is there anything funnier than a dog going down the street with his face hanging out the window?”
Liam: “That peanut, man, it nearly tipped me over the edge. It was a f**king blue one and all, the cheeky bastard. I had a f**king M&M and it felt like I’d been shot in the mouth.”
Noel: “I was on the verge of saying to my daughter, ‘there is no Father Christmas’ – I’m looking forwards to breaking the news in about two years.”
