More top Oasis interview stuff...

[Electric ~soul~]

Noel: You walk into hotel [****!!****]' foyers and you get everybody at it and you go "Pssst", knocking on people's doors and go "hey", [****!!****]'...

 

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 [****!!****]' 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 [****!!****]' thousand and five [****!!****]' 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 [****!!****] 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.

 

 

The whole interview is massive and is HERE!!!!, but is well worth reading if you have a spare day or so!!

 

I'll copy out a few more selected highlights though, I reckon!!

[Electric ~soul~]

Who do you think was the coolest rock star who ever lived?

 

Noel: John Lennon.

 

Liam: The thing about John Lennon, right - and I'll just say this, me - is, he didn't look cool...

 

Noel: [****!!****] hell, he was a geezer man...

 

Liam: I know he was a geezer, but he weren't your [****!!****]' rock star.

 

Noel: He was John Lennon!

 

Liam: I know, that's why. You're not on the vibe, shut the [****!!****] up man when I'm talking, alright? What I'm saying is, he weren't yer [****!!****]' rock star. He was just an average [****!!****]' lad from Liverpool with a [****!!****]' mad sense of humour. And that was it. He was a comedian more than anything. Not a rock star. He was a [****!!****]' comedian. Bernard Manning, man. And that was it. Keith Richards is your rock star, and Rod Stewart. John Lennon was [****!!****]' Bonehead, man. Bonehead isn't cool. He isn't cool. But is he is - he's cool as [****!!****]. He's got a bald head. A bald head.

 

Noel: John Lennon wrote the greatest rock songs and the greatest ballads of all time. John Lennon wrote 'I Am The Walrus' and he wrote 'Imagine: That's John Lennon.

[Electric ~soul~]

Noel: The thing about getting thrown off ferries - blah, blah, blah - and getting deported is summat that I'm not proud about because...

 

Liam: Well I am, la.

 

Noel: Yeah, alright. Well if you're, right, well if you're, right, well if, if you're proud about getting thrown off ferries, then why don't you go and support West Ham and get the [****!!****] out of my band and go and be a football hooligan, right? Coz we're musicians, right? We're not football hooligans.

 

Liam: You're only gutted coz you was in bed [****!!****]' reading your [****!!****]' books...

 

Noel: No, not at all. Listen. No, listen. He says, right... Here's a quote for you from my manager, Marcus Russell, right...

 

Liam: He's a [****!!****]'...'nother [****!!****]'...

 

Noel: Shut up, you dick. Right, he gets off the ferry after getting [****!!****]' deported. I'm left in Amsterdam with me dick out like a [****!!****]' spare prick at a [****!!****]' wedding...

 

Liam: It was a bad move, you know...

 

Noel: Shut up! Shut up! Right, he gets off the ferry and Marcus says, "What are you [****!!****]' doing?", you know, "What the [****!!****] is going..."

 

Liam: (mocking Noel) What the fuh, wha' the fuh, wha' fuh....(?unintelligible?)

 

Noel: "What are you doing...", and all that, and he says, right, "These lot think it's rock'n'roll to get thrown off a ferry...to get..."

 

Liam: No I don't.

 

Noel: Shut up. These lot think it's rock'n'roll to get thrown off...

 

Liam: I don't.

 

Noel: Shut the [****!!****] up, man! These lot think...(laughing in background)...I'm gonna have to say this part, are you gonna shut up?! (laughing) These lot think it's rock'n'roll to get thrown off a ferry, right, to come into hotel foyers to get everybody at it an to go - shut up! - to start thinking, "Hey, it's rock 'n' roll." Do you know what my manager said to him? He said, "Nah. Rock'n'roll is going to Amsterdam, doing your gig, playing your music, that's rock 'n' roll, right... and coming back and saying you blew 'em away." Not getting thrown off the ferry like some [****!!****]' scouse schlepper with your [****!!****]'...with...being handcuffed. That's football hooliganism...

 

Liam: No it isn't...

 

Noel: ...and I won't stand for it

 

Liam: No it isn't...

 

Noel: And listen, they all got fined a thousand pounds each.

 

Liam: We didn't at all.

 

Noel: Yes you [****!!****]' did.

 

Liam: You can stick your thousands pounds right up yer [****!!****]’ [****!!****] 'till it comes out your [****!!****]' big toe.

That is quality.

 

I like the interview they did on radio one around the time of Be Here Now when Liam was going on about getting a dog. Absolute quality!!
