Everyone loves a good scrap!
Especially a public one with public figures
Rivalry, friction and music have gone
hand in hand over the last century! If it wasn’t Mick and Keith falling out
over Mick’s tiny todger or Kanye West trying his best to make a cunt out of
Beck on stage during some pathetic award ceremony a few years ago (by the way,
if I were Beck, id have seriously knocked that dickhead right on his arse that
night), it’s always been present – just have a watch of the film ‘Dig’ courtesy
of the remarkable fall out between The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown
Massacre! It’s a fascinating film!
Even my brief flirtation with music
and fame (ahem) had its fair share of skirmishes with fellow band mates, promoters
and other ‘associates’. It just goes with the territory. Sometimes it can be
funny and sometimes it can be a bit uncomfortable
But the best fights in music have
always been the ones involving sibling rivalry! For example - the latest round
of hand bags courtesy of the Brothers Gallagher has made captivating viewing!
... Or has it?
I know some of this spat has been
funny, especially Liam’s quote about the girl in Noel’s band ‘playing’ the
scissors and getting someone in his audience to peel a potato (which some funny
bastard actually did), but you can’t help feel that some of this has been a bit
smoke and mirrors!
Now I’m not particularly arsed about
Oasis! What they’ve done is in the past and what they both do in the future really
doesn’t bother me! But what does bother me is the fact that Liam and Noel
always claim to be ‘real’ rock stars! Real northerners! Real people! But I’m
sorry to say that this ‘spat’ just isn’t real and resembles something you see
on Jeremy Kyle’s show!
In the red corner – young Liam. Often
seen as the Man of the People, I do have a lot of time for Liam as you can tell
he absolulety LOVES being a rock star and no one is ever gonna take that away
from him! He’s got balls, bravado and guts to back it all up! If there is one
singer from any band in history who you don’t fuck with – it’s Liam! If you do
try to fuck with him, he’ll almost certainly put you right on your arse with
the prospect of a good kicking to follow! There should be more Liam Gallaghers
in the world of music.
In the blue corner – slightly older
Noel. Often seen a mouthy, cock sure bastard who could take on anyone in a
verbal mud-slinging contest who would almost definitely come out on top! And, I’ll
be brutally honest here – not my cup of tea and don’t really have much time for
him as I see him as the school shit house who will start a scrap and then hide
behind his mates (or his brother) and watch everything unfold from a safe
distance! But hey – that’s my opinion! Also i wasn’t very impressed with Noel’s
recent comments about Jeremy Corbyn! Seems he has well and truly lost fact of
where he came from and is too busy fucking around on the grounds of his mansion
with Bono and other celebrity Sycophants who blow way too much smoke up his
arse
Everyone knows Liam and Noel have had
a relationship fraught with flashpoints and controversy! The film released last
year, Supersonic, shown this to be true. But this new found venom does seem
very different! There’s more needle! But, and this is the but here, this seems
to be taking place via the media and social media!
I know both brothers are a lot older
now, but if this took place 20 years ago when Oasis started, it would have been
settled in true Mancunian fashion resulting in a few split lips and black eyes!
And that’s my point – why the sudden
‘softness’? There was once a time when the brothers Gallagher would lash out
and spark someone and lash a bottle of lager over their head! Now they take to
Twitter or sit on a leather couch pouring their hearts out to Graham fucking
Norton while drinking tea or expensive bottled water!!
So, Liam, Noel (if by the faintest
chance you are actually reading this) – pick a date, time and venue, bring your
boxing gloves, leave the media behind and sort it out ... like true Manc rock
stars you claim to be!
