Liam: I went, I went, uh, to do a video a King's Cross Station, yeah. I went out to the f****** shop to buy a paper, yeah, while I was there I had makeup on and f****** everthing ready to do the video shoot and you know ten minutes later, some crazy crackhead f****** bird...some woman called Pauline going, "Look man, look, they're f******..." coz they're talking bullshit, and getting me hotter....and that was it, it's a situation.
Noel: Right.
Liam: ...that just arose.
Noel: Right. Fine, that's...
Liam: That is life.
Noel: Right. What I f****** say to that is, what I say to that is situations like that have been happening to me & him before we were in a band.
Liam: Therefore, why should it all change? Why should...
Noel: Shut up. Shut up. Liam: I get in situations all the time.... Noel: He's just said, he's just said 70%...
Liam: The band, the band is not a rule book for my life.
Noel: Right. The band is about f*****' music. Right. It's not about getting thrown off f***** ferries, or about...
Liam: I never said that.
Noel: (Exasperatedly) Why don't you go downstairs and smash the bar up and say you're the singer of Oasis?
Liam: Coz I don't want to. If I did, if I was gonna go down & smash the bar up, I'd do and there's nothing would stop me. Noel: Then why don't you go and make a scene, then?
Liam: Coz I'm not in that...I'm f******...you know what I mean?
Noel: You're not...you're not... (laughs) Right. Why don't you do a Keith Richards? Throw the TV out of the window!
Liam: Coz I'm not Keith Richards. Noel: Throw the TV out the window!
Liam: I don't want to do that. If I wanted to do it, I'd just go like that and do it, and do it. But I don't want to do that. I'm not about that.
Noel: What are you about?
Liam: I'm about being...I'm about going down the f*****'...I'm about...(takes long slug of G&T) That's what I'm about.
Noel: Right. That's what you're about. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. But I'm talking about f*****'....Eeyare, I'm talking about our band here. hey, yo, I'm talking about our band. Liam: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Noel: No you're not. You're talking about you. You're talking about you, right. I'm talking about our band...our band. Our band is about tunes.
Liam: Yeah, I know. Don't...don't think I'm stupid. Don't talk to me like I'm..
Noel: He's just said, seventy, 70% of what people are writing about is the music. Right. I'll take the 70%. The 30%, you can go and f*****' blow it.
Liam: Sit down, man. Sit down, coz you're getting into a state. You're building yourself into a stat. You've had too many G&Ts. Sit the f*** down. Noel: No, no, no, I'm not
Noel: See, you're not a spokesman for the band.
Liam: I'm nah - are you?
Noel: Yeah. I am.
Liam: Are you?
Noel: Yeah. I am.
Liam: You might be in your little world, but as far as I'm concerned, if you think what I'm saying is bullshit, I think what you're saying is f*****' bullshit, man. Noel: Right. Well, fine. Right. Well, fine. You don't speak for the band.
Liam: You don't speak for the band.
Noel: I do speak for the band.
Liam: You do, yeah, because you f*****', yeah... I f****** speak for the band, I'm speaking now for the band. And I'm into it. I'm into all that f*****' s***.
Noel: Yeah, you are. You are.
Liam: (Referring to Noel) He's teetotal. He's a f*****' priest. He was born to be a priest.
Noel: No, listen. Listen. Listen. No, no, yeah, whoa, whoa,yeah. The difference is, I don't get caught.
Liam: Right.
Noel: Right. I don't get caught.
Liam: But I have to admit that I was f*****'...(mumbling)
Noel: Right. That's all I have to say....I don't get caught.
Liam: So what you're trying to say, right, what you're trying to say, you're trying to say, right, that I'm out in a pub, yeah, I have a few beers, yeah, a situation arises, and I'm supposed to go like that (makes suitably effeminate gesture)?
Noel: What pub, where?
Liam: Anywhere, anywhere! The boat, the boat, the boat, the boat is the same thing. Noel: It isn't! Coz you're with Oasis! You're with the band!
Liam: Nah, nah, nah. There's no rules. Why don't you show me the rule book, then...coz if you've got a rule book, what you're saying is complete and utter f*****' (picks up tape recorder and holds it to mouth) Bloooarskybluh!
Noel: I haven't got a rule book. I'm not saying there's any rules. I'm saying you're proud of the fact, you're proud of the fact. Why?
Liam: Coz it happened. I'm not proud...no, I'm not...If it didn't happen, if it didn't hapen, we wouldn't have been asked. Yeah, I won't be going...I won't be going...no, I don't go out to f******' get a vibe and that to go "Yeah, yeah..."
Noel: You do! You do! You do, you walk into hotel f*****' foyers and you get everybody at it and you go "Pssst", knocking on people's doors and go "hey", f*****'...
Liam: I'm having the crack.
Noel: Right. Yeah. You're proud of the fact.
Liam: And it's not doing anyone any harm. It's not doing anyone any harm. That's me. John Lennon used to f*****' burn about doing little mad things, and that...
Noel: Do you know John Lennon?
Liam: Do you know him?
Noel: I don't, but do you?
Liam: Yeah.
Noel: Well, you must be pretty old. How old are you? 21?
Liam: No. About f*****' thousand and five f*****' one.
Noel: You're 22.
Liam: No, I'm 21.
Noel: Right. And remember, I watched you being born...
Liam: Right.
Noel: ...and I don't even know John Lennon.
Liam: Right.
Noel: Right, then, so shut the f*** up about knowing John Lennon...so what are you trying to say, then?
Liam: What I'm saying's that you're not rock 'n' roll. You want to be teetotal and walk around and go like that (more mincing)?
Noel: I think you're missing the point. Liam: No, you're missing the point.
(indecipherable)
Q: Then why did he put the references to white lines in Cigarettes & Alcohol?
Liam: Exactly, why, why, didn't you, why, why...
Noel: That is, that's a part...that's not being bad, that's a part of life. That is a part of f*****' life, we all snort white lines every day.
Liam: Exactly. and we all get into trouble now & again, we all have little fights... Noel: No we don't. We don't all get into trouble. Liam: But I do.
Liam: You want to be, you want to be..
Noel: Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Let's talk about music! Liam: (in background)You want to be, you want to be, you want to be Keith Richards. You want to be Keith Richards. Admit it. Admit it. You want to be Keith Richards. Admit it. Admit it. Admit it. Admit it.
Noel: Let's talk about music. Let's not talk about you being a hard guy. Let's talk about music. Let's talk about music! Let's not talk about you being an 'ard guy, let's talk about music, let's not talk about you being an 'ard man, let's talk about music.
Liam: You're getting hung up about...you're getting hung up about a situation that occured on a boat!
Q: Let's go back to where we were before, when you said...that people saying "I go on Oasis' bus and you can't move for drugs and all that, and they're f*****' up all night..." You're up for that? You're up for that? That's the side that you will go..
Noel: Right. People are sat, right, in England, right now, in flats across this country, whether it be Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield...in rooms like this. And they've all got their drugs out. that's no f******...that is no big...that is a part of life.
Liam: Exactly. So shut the f*** up , man! Noel: I'm not talking about that! Liam: Shut the f*** up, man, you're just contradicting yourself.. Noel: I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.. Liam: ..You've had too many f*****' drinks, right. The thing is, I don't want to be classed...I don't want to go on about how I'm this, how I'm a hard f*****, and I'm this... I'm in this band to make f****** music, but that thing will come along with it. It always does.
Q: The Who hated each other you know? Liam: Yeah, well I hate this b******.
Q: Is that important to you? Is that what fires this band up?
Liam: Yeah. That's what it's all about. That's w hy we'll be the best band in the world, because I f*****' hate that t*** there.Q: The Who used to go on about how much they f*****' hated eachother. Noel: The samegoes for you (laughing)
Liam: Yeah, well I f*****' hate him. And I hope one day there's a release where I can smash f*** out of him, with a f*****' Rickenbacker, right on his nose, and then he does the same to me, coz I think that we're stepping right up to it now. There's a f*****' line there and we're right on the edge of it.
Q: How often do you have arguments like this?
Liam: Every f*****'...every day. Every day. Every time...Noel: Hourly Q: Yeah.
Noel: Hourly
Q: And how do you manage to go on stage with each other?
Liam: I f*** him off.
Q: Do you argue immediately before you...do you argue immediately before you...
Liam: I've got a mike stand, I've got a mike stand, yeah. And I've got a mike stand, right, and that's what I'm about, right, what I'm into. I'm not going to f*** off because he thinks my views are f****** too outrageous or whatever. I've got my f*****' vibe, and Igo to that mike stand, and I do my business. He stands f*****' in his f*****' corner, he does, he does his little riffs and his little dance - let him do that. McGuigan does his f*****' bit, I'll do my bit, the drummer does their bit. And that's what it's all about. Five people, not one.
Q: Do you have any recurring dreams?
Noel: Yeah. Just the one. Liam: When I take over the band...
Noel: Right.
Liam: ...that just arose.
Noel: Right. Fine, that's...
Liam: That is life.
Noel: Right. What I f****** say to that is, what I say to that is situations like that have been happening to me & him before we were in a band.
