noel telling matt about the code names he and liam would use in the 90s when oasis was checking into hotels
“I didn’t know what had been going on between them. It could have been some small comment that sparked things off. Liam spent the evening in the bar with endless vodka and oranges. The MTV awards were being held that evening and there were loads of people arriving — a distraction we didn’t need. We arranged to meet at Noel’s room and when Liam didn’t show up, my heart sank. He’d gone back to the bar straight after breakfast. Yvonne McConaghy, who was assisting me, went to try and coax him out but he flatly refused to go anywhere near Noel’s room. He said he’d do the photo session as long as it wasn’t in Noel’s room, so we got in the bus and he took his drink with him. We stopped off at this bridge and the first thing Liam did was hurl his glass at the side of the bridge. Noel was furious, but I took him aside and said ‘Look, it doesn’t matter. As long as you stand there, I’ll catch him in the frame.’
But Noel was so pissed off, and you can see it in these photos. He is literally gritting his teeth. The body language is incredible. It was awful. You can almost hear the air crackle.”

Noel was also reportedly complaining furiously about French people on bicycles and then had returned to pose, which are these photos.

OKAY so my colleague did a great job of not editorializing on the previous post about the DITW studio audio and I'm going to absolutely FAIL at following such dazzling restraint and go a bit tinhatty bc like.
so, noel recorded dead in the water on march 2 2015; the extended studio chatter suggests the possible presence or at least recent presence of liam. (and perhaps coincidentally liam was due in court this same day and was fined $5K for failing to appear)
the next week, liam tweeted this:
and then days later, this photo:
I believe afterwards the story went he'd nicked Paul's pass. but like. what if it was his pass all along and he was just being Liam and really really bad at behaving himself

Here are some of my 90s Oasis articles. Just a few for now because sadly I don't have an actual scanner at home so I'm sorry for the quality.
