'We were party people. We weren't the most professional and we didn't give a f***. 'And Liam sees things very differently from the rest of us. Advertisement "He needs to go to anger management classes and get some manners.' 'GET SOME MANNERS' Always a brilliant storyteller, Noel's interviews never failed to entertain. 'I remember when we shot our first Rolling Stone cover in America and the photographer was an ahole,' he said. 'After 40 minutes Liam and I said, 'We are done now, see ya'. And he said solemnly, 'I have you for eight more hours'. Advertisement 'There was no way we were staying for eight hours. We were off to buy drugs.

Advertisement Noel replied: 'I'll do one eventually, as life's too short and none of us is getting any younger. "I'd like to make one while I still look good and before I look like Phil Collins, which, eventually, I will. It's nothing to do with Liam.' Meanwhile, Liam answered: 'I've got the songs, I could do four solo albums.' 'QUALITY CONTROL' He was right about that. Advertisement By 2024, Liam had released four records, all chart toppers, including And his solo career saw him establish himself as one of Britain's last true rock'n'roll frontmen.

In a 2022 chat for third album C'Mon You Know, he told me: 'I'm definitely still pinching myself. "I thought I'd gone down the s**tter man.' Humbler than in his Oasis days, Liam was also strikingly down to earth. Advertisement I'll never forget how welcoming he was backstage at Alexandra Palace after the premiere of his film, And how he joked about football with my then-teenage son at an after-party following his Union Chapel gig for Shelter in 2018. More mellow, yes. But in our 2017 chat, Liam wanted to make it clear to his critics that he had not grown up. Advertisement 'F*** growing up, mate, I'm growing down.' 4 Liam says he loves Twitter and will never grow up Credit: Getty 4 Noel found success outside of Oasis with his band High Flying Birds Credit: Getty Liam has always said it like it is and Advertisement He said: 'I f***ing love Twitter. I f***ing love it. I know people go, 'Oh, you need to grow up'. 'Well, you go and put your f***ing pipe on with your slippers and your hot cocoa and get to bed. 'I am going the other way. F that growing-up business.' Yet away from the chaos and comedy, it is his children that Liam credits for calming him down as he got older. Advertisement On the eve of his 2022 solo gigs at Knebworth, he said: 'When you're young you've got a bag of chips on your shoulder. "As you get older you cool it down a bit. 'My kids are great. " Advertisement "Molly was living with us for a bit and now she's moved in with her fella. 'NOSTALGIA TRIP' 'Gene and Lennon are both talented musicians. They love music and they're into it.' The demand for Oasis's long-awaited reunion — and the fact that the shows won't be televised — makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many. And it's far from just a nostalgia trip. Advertisement In our pre-Knebworth chat, Liam spoke about the new generation of fans who had got into Oasis through his solo work. He added: 'I've been lucky and there's people who were there the first time for Oasis. 'People who are my age and have kids now who they've brought up on the music and want to hear the tunes. 'I could have Sylvester Stallone on stage and Advertisement "It's about ME and the fans. "The reason I'm doing Knebworth again is because of the fans. That's what the people want and I'm respecting them. 'I'm absolutely buzzing for Knebworth, it's going to be Biblical. "Hopefully we can deliver a good gig and have a good weekend.' Advertisement But selecting a setlist for the forthcoming shows might see the brothers back to arguing over which songs to play — just as they did when they clashed over the track listing Noel chose for Oasis's 2006 greatest hits album Stop The Clocks. Back then, Liam said: 'I think he's missed a few. I'd have put on Rockin' Chair, D'You Know What I Mean?. 'I would have put some stuff off Be Here Now. 'If he didn't like the record that much, he shouldn't have put the fing record out in the first place. Advertisement 'I don't know what's up with him but it's a top record, man, and I'm proud of it — it's just a little bit long.' We've never shared a bed — and if I was looking for someone to take me to bed, it wouldn't be Liam! Noel Gallagher Noel retorted: 'D'You Know What I Mean?' was on it right up to the day before it was mastered. 'But it's just too long. It upset the flow of the album. 'When we recorded Be Here Now I thought it was the greatest thing ever, but the novelty of that record wore off pretty soon. Advertisement 'It was a great period. The money had just come in from Morning Glory, so we had become very, very wealthy overnight. "Sony had given us a private jet, I was given a Rolls-Royce — but unfortunately, the music suffered. 'I don't know why Liam is saying that, because when it comes to playing them live, he won't sing them!' And then there was Acquiesce — a song that was a mystery to Liam. Advertisement He said: 'The title did confuse me. It still confuses me — I haven't got a clue what it means. "I've never asked Noel what it means either. "The less I have to talk to him, the better.' Noel, typically unfiltered, replied: 'Liam still doesn't know what it means. Advertisement "People have this misconception that the song is about me and Liam, which annoys me to f***. 'The lyrics in the second verse are, 'To sing my soul to sleep, and take me back to bed'. It's absolutely not about me and our kid. 'We've never shared a bed — and if I was looking for someone to take me to bed, it wouldn't be Liam!' It's the kind of blunt humour fans have come to expect from Noel — and it doesn't stop there. Advertisement Asked what's not allowed on his tour rider these days? 'Nothing. Thunderbirds are go when I am on tour.' He pauses for a second. 'Hang on. Actually, there is one thing I've banned.' Advertisement 'What?' I ask. 'Liam,' he grinned before breaking into another laugh. Some things never change. And for Oasis fans, that's exactly the point.
