And Finally

Liam Gallagher vitriol round-up

Liam Gallagher’s said some stuff to Shortlist. Here are the highlights.

Liams on Blur’s reunion shows last year: “Them gigs weren’t as good as our gigs. No way. But, they’re all right… They’re in it for the money, aren’t they? The fuckers. You won’t catch Oasis reforming, y’know. Never”.

Liam on Peter Kay calling him a knobhead at the BRITs: “Talking of knob, have you seen yours lately, you fucking fat cunt? Know what I mean? Bet he ain’t seen his for years. That is one cunt who’d get decked if I saw him on the street, believe you me”.

Liam on Twitter: “I [use] it when people get fucking fresh, then I hit them, big time. It’s like a weapon, know what I mean? Just shuts a few people up. But I don’t go: ‘Hey, I’ve just had a biscuit’, or: ‘Just tied my fucking shoe lace’, or: ‘I’ve just had my ninth shit of the day’. It’s fucking ridiculous”.

Liam on drinking: “If we’re going out for a drink I’ll be the last fucking one standing mate – I know how to put it away. Start off with a lager, then get bored of that and hit the tequilas… then that’s it. Not into ales and all that – it’s fucking Peter Kay tackle that. Dart-player nonsense”.

Liam on Oasis: “Oasis ran its course. We stepped over that fine line. People in the band grew up and went different ways. [Noel] wanted to be a certain way and I wanted to be another. He wanted to chill a bit – our kid’s not rock n roll. I am. I’m still going for it ’til the day I die, without a doubt”.

Liam on Noel: “I don’t wanna see him. But if I see him, who knows what would happen? I’ll probably end up fucking leathering him”.

Liam on Noel’s friendship with Russell Brand: “They’re a fucking match. Who do they remind me of? You remember that old politician, the weird little bastard with the wife that were dead tall… NEIL HAMILTON! That’s who they look like”.

Liam on illegal downloading: “Downloading’s the same as what I used to do – I used to tape the charts of the songs I liked [off the radio]. I don’t mind it. I hate all these big, silly rock stars who moan – at least they’re fucking downloading your music, you cunt, and paying attention, know what I mean? You should fucking appreciate that – what are you moaning about? You’ve got fucking five big houses, so shut up”.

Liam on politics: “Doesn’t matter who you fucking vote for – it’ll still be shit unless you join a band”.

Liam on his religious beliefs: “I’m pretty Zen-like. I believe in fucking feeling good and feeling positive and all that, and letting things go”.

Actually, the plan here was to just pick the best quotes, but there were far too many to choose from. Having published half of Shortlist’s interview, we feel we ought to encourage you to go and look at it in its original form.
