In a recent interview with Big Issue, Noel Gallagher discussed his thoughts about his brother Liam’s attitude. The conversation painted another picture of the dynamic between the former Oasis members.
Liam recently criticized his brother‘s vocal performance on the 30th Anniversary edition of ‘Definitely Maybe’ on Twitter and announced that he would play the entire album at his gigs in honor of the event, which fueled the two’s already-shimmering rivalry.
In response, Noel reflected on how the singer’s behavior played out in their relationship, depicting their time in Oasis and beyond from his own perspective. He suggested that Liam had a knack for pointing fingers, naming him ‘the king of blaming everyone else.’
In the unfiltered statements, the musician said:
“You never knew what mood Liam was going to turn up in, and I found the whole thing really f-cking stressful. My overriding feeling was this is just so f-cking unnecessary. This is the dream that we’ve all lived for, and you’re still moaning about some sh-t that went on 18 hours ago. It’s just nonsense.
Singers are the kings of blaming sh-t on everybody else. I was writing the songs, so I was directing it. I knew what I was doing. I often wondered what it would feel like if I was in a band, and I had no control over the direction of it because the guy who wrote all the songs was so fucking good. There would be no point in getting involved. So no wonder he went off the rails. But you can balance that by saying, well, Oasis wouldn’t be f-cking anything if they hadn’t asked me to join them.”
There were rumors that the long-awaited Oasis reunion might happen. However, it doesn’t look possible in the near future as the brothers will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band’s first album separately in 2024.
