You See Noel And Liam Onstage And They're Giving It All The Billy Big Bollocks, You See The Stuff In

getting him to join

from the get go liam's plan hadn't been to merely impress noel by being in a band, it was to get noel IN the band

liam is at first desperate and then genuinely thrilled to get noel, whereas noel is deliriously happy about having louise

but yes, the mission was to get noel in at any cost. kind of like baby trapping someone, but with a band instead of a baby

imagine liam jumping through all these hoops for paul?

so what's it like now that you've successfully smuggled your one and only into the band? must be pretty nice, right? well...:

cutting two-word review... seldom seemed to show any positive emotion towards liam... noel's smile seemed to vanish...

yeah ...

so these are from tony mccarroll's book which is well worth a read or ten

“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.”

— Jill Furmanovsky with Liam and Noel Gallagher, Paris 1995.

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

that’s liam sitting on noel’s knee bro

10 years of Noise & Confusion, 2001

Gary asked where are they going to be in 10 years, Noel struggle with the question and said, “We all be still involved, who knows” and Liam said “I’ll be still in this band, me personally”

PD: Cute how Noel out of nowhere compliments Liam’s looks.

If Noel Gallagher was MY big brother....
