Noel Gallagher: 'Liam is frightened to death of me'

Noel Gallagher reckons he can easily manipulate younger brother Liam.

Despite the Oasis kingpins being known for their fighting ways, Noel claims he can now twist the singer around his little finger without recourse to fisticuffs.

"I've kind of learnt that instead of arguing stuff out with him and ending up in a fight, I work on his psychology and he's completely freaked out by me now," the guitarist told Spin. "He's actually frightened to death of me."

"I can read him and I can fucking play him like a slightly disused arcade game," added Noel summing-up the full extent of his manipulation. "I can make him make decisions that he thinks are his but really they're mine. Without fighting. It's an art I've learned."

Probably Tapper.

Liam Gallagher is being mocked mercilessly in the UK's legacy media for this magazine cover shot:

But I'll venture a guess that the pink suit was inspired by McCartney's pink suit from this famous photo session which took place in 1968:

But McCartney was smart enough to give Ringo a tenner to hug John so he didn't look like the biggest poofter in the picture.

Look at poor Liam... he's wearing pink and isn't the one hugging the girls. That's just poor thinking on his part.

Hank · 01 Dec 2004

FWIW, when I saw Oasis last fall, Liam was dressed all in black, and during guitar solos, he'd stand off at the side of the stage with his thumbs in his belt, looking pretty badass.

I know he could take me in a brawl.

Liam's problem compared to Paul is he isn't wearing a cape. Capes make all the difference.

Steven Clubb · 01 Mar 2005

Nothing says bad-ass like a cape. Just ask Darth Vader and Lando.

Billy Dee Williams insisted on wearing a cape when offered the part. It was part of the contract. Lots of Colt .45 and a cape.

I think if you start with the premise that Liam is a knob - all of his actions make perfect sense.

What can I say - he leaves me cold, his music leaves me cold. Which is sometimes tricky living in manchester....

It's against the law there, isn't it?

Um....no.

And I'm pretty sure Liam would kick your ass for saying that.

Pink boy's welcome to try.

I finally looked it up and see that he's in Oasis. Oh well. Potato Potato.

Looks like he raided Don Johnson's closet. From 1984.

And yeah, he'd seriously kick your ass. The suit is actually white and the bloodstains didn't come out. It's not his blood, BTW, it's Noel's.

Here's how Hans Rotenberry of The Shazam describes Liam:

Quote:

"We got to meet Gallagher and he was actually really cool," says Rotenberry. "I've gotta say that he's everything that he comes across as being. He's just a blathering English idiot, and I mean that in the best possible way. I mean, you can't understand a word that he says. He'll get right in your face and point his finger at you. And he's got big guys hanging around with him so if he starts a fight with you and you hit him, those other guys will just beat the shit out of you. So he can say whatever he wants to anybody. I just kind of laid some heavy East Tennessee on him and he couldn't understand me either."

Gator · 03 Aug 2004

So it's Liam's goons who I have to worry about kicking my ass, not so much Liam himself.

Oasis 'doner' look back in anger

Jul 23, 2007

It's the Oasis faux pas to end Oasis faux pas - mistaking Noel Gallagher for younger brother Liam.

However according to today's (July 23) Mirror one unlucky 'fan' ruined an encounter with his hero after running into the guitarist in London last week.

Noel was apparently confused for his singing sibling in Camden kebab shop - and NME favourite - Marathon while queuing up for a takeaway.

"You're Liam," the hapless star-spotted is reported to have told the Oasis leader. "You're in that band."

At the height of Britpop who knows what flurry of abuse would have followed next? Swearing? V-signs? Fisticuffs? (although to be fair at the height of Britpop its unlikely you'd have seen Noel in what was clearly Blur territory).

But Noel it seems, is a mellowed man and according to the paper simply "shot the fan a thunderous glare", before declaring "I don't think so, mate."

After which he simply grabbed his kebab and left. Doner look back in anger, indeed.

Wonder if the above is a leftover of their (in)famous appearance on Top Of The Pops in 1995 where Noel and Liam mimed each other's parts?
