Liam Gallagher recently sat down for an interview with ES Magazine. Here's what he had to say:
On getting up early everyday:
‘Look at that bad boy. It reads ‘05:00’, and underneath, ‘ALARM, WAKE UP. I’m up at five every day. And I love it. Leave the house at six. Run ’til seven. I get Gene (his son, 15, with ex-wife Nicole Appleton) up, ’cos he’s living with us at the moment. Get him off to school. Come back. Potter about. Try some jackets on. Try some shoes on. Play the guitar, have lunch. Then do whatever needs doing.’
On launching a solo career (which he previously said he would never do):
‘I just don’t want to be tarred with that brush. There’s people that are in great bands that have always got their eye on going solo — who we won’t mention, because he’ll get enough fucking mentions — and they break up great bands because… well, they use little things like, “Oh, we weren’t getting on”. Fuck off mate, you had your head turned big-style. This isn’t that. If Oasis started again tomorrow... well, obviously I wouldn’t get back with it because I’m busy with this and I like this and we’ll see where we end up. But I weren’t one of them people that broke a band up to go solo.’
On going through a rough patch a couple of years ago:
‘It was a bitter realisation. Right. No band. Don’t want to be in a band. Don’t want to meet loads of new people. And then all the divorce and all the other shit — it was just grim. I know it was all my own doing and that. But I was just living in ghoul world with fucking lawyers. Every day. If it wasn’t the divorce lawyer, it was the other lawyer. It was fucking grim. They just make it worse. They’re not there to make it better. They fucking strung it out, mate. They definitely know how long a piece of string is.
I’d open the door and get mithered to death straight away. People going, “Oasis, Oasis, Oasis” in your face, and it’s like you’re in a bad trip. You’re this guy in Oasis, but you’re not doing anything any more. You start going, “Am I a fucking has-been? Is this it?” And you’re sitting there going, “Well, maybe it is.”...I was waiting for the divorce to kick in, to see what fucking pennies they’d throw back at me, and I was out of here. I was gonna go and live in Spain and just chill out, get fit, eat nice, bit of sun on me bones and just fucking live.’
And on whether or not he regrets anything he has said about his brother Noel Gallagher:
‘No. Not at fucking all. I don’t regret anything I’ve ever said about Noel. I think he’s had it easy off me. It’s only sticks and stones, they won’t break his bones. Wait till I bump into the cunt. Everything I say is the fucking truth. I’ve not even dug that deep yet.’
