“Surfing is for idiots and surfers are arseholes," says Noel.
The brittle armistice between Manchester minstrels Liam and Noel Gallagher and with it Oasis’ billion-dollar comeback tour is in doubt after both men clashed over their respective love and hate of surfing.
Little brother Liam Gallagher, who is fifty, recently visited Ireland to go surfing with one bar keep subsequently reporting, “He had a full Irish with a Guinness head. He said he wanted to go out a do a spot of surfing but the conditions weren’t great so he came in for some breakfast.”
An earlier post had signalled Liam Gallagher’s love for the sport of kings.
“A new love and respect for surfers been watching some mad fuckers doing there thing and there ANIMALS as in HARDCORE LG x”
Big brother Noel, who is fifty-seven, disagrees and says “surfing is for idiots” and that if anyone even thinks about skateboarding riding, well, “skateboarding is for fucking little idiots. Skateboarders and surfers can go fuck themselves. Surfers, by their very definition, are arseholes.”
Noel then delivers his coup de grâce, “Australians.”
The infamous meltdowns between Liam and Noel Gallagher have become as legendary as the music of Oasis itself, marking a tumultuous journey through sibling rivalry, creative differences, and personal clashes that have defined much of their public persona.
One of the earliest meltdowns occurred during their gig at the Whiskey a Go Go in Los Angeles, when Liam threw a tantrum and hit Noel with a tambourine before storming off stage. This incident was a precursor to the ongoing friction that would eventually lead to the band’s disbandment.
Creative control was often at the heart of these disputes. Noel, the primary songwriter, felt undermined by Liam’s behavior, which he perceived as unprofessional. This was epitomized during the recording of “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?” when Liam brought a crowd into the studio, interrupting Noel’s work, leading to physical confrontations.
The final straw that led to Oasis’s dissolution in 2009 was an altercation during a tour where Liam, hungover as hell, led to Noel’s exit from the band.
Sadly, both men are shit without the other.
