chipper son of a bitch

Hello everyone it's Friday yay.

Here you go. I had fun with this.

[atthefamilyfunction]

I haven't listened to the early demos until now (because that's just something I never do) and now I'm going insane if I cannot yap about it because you can't just go "hey, fun fact about Oasis" in a normal conversation.

So imagine this. You're at a small gig venue to listen to your brother perform. Everyone there is local and knows you two as these brothers who regularly get drunk and take drugs and don't really have a job. Everyone knows that he wants to impress you specifically. Everyone there is probably a friend or acquaintance and watching you.

He's not bad and you secretly think that he's cool and good-looking and stylish. But you're a bit of a cunt and won't let him know. So he's there on the stage and singing to you like "this one's for you Noely!" and everyone knows it. Then he starts with "Take me when I'm young and true, was it me or was it you" and you're like oh shit but he just continues "Take me when I'm not so strong, why has it taken you so long?". Well, it won't get worse than this you think only to hear him sing "Take me if you think I'm sweet, though my life feels incomplete. Take me when I wish to live, for I still have this to give". There's not enough alcohol to drown out this. Well, at least now it can't get worse but he's already started on "Take me ‘cause I’m feeling old, all my life I’ve been so cold" and you think it's finally over, we're back on normal terrain only for him to agonizedly belt out "Take me when I start to cry. Take me, take me don't ask why". And you just have to stand there like nothing's wrong.

Afterwards you say "Your music's shite but I'll join and write the lyrics. Actually I already have a tune for us". And then you record a song that basically says you're trying to hide your feelings but I know and we gotta lock the doors because nobody can find out. Now get down on the floor. You call it "Lock all the doors", a very appropriate and normal title, it's in the text. But that's not good enough you say. One title is not enough, we need a second one you say. And then you name it "Sister's Lover". You don't have a sister but you insinuate in interviews that your brother is girly. It's jail for you.

And Bonehead, Guigsy and Tony are just there, experiencing this all in real time and thankfully for you not calling the police.

(Years later you'll do a re-recording of "Lock all the doors" but you're absolutely not weird so you change the lyrics to "She wore a star-shaped tambourine, prettiest girl I'd ever seen". Oh your brother is playing a star-shaped tambourine? Funny coincidence that.)

Liam's relationship with violence is really interesting to me. It's sad that he found comfort in being known and feared from such a young age!

half man is one of the best tv shows i’ve ever seen and i would love to be able to recommend it more but unfortunately it falls under the “everyone needs to get real cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly” category

[evilskinnynoel]

why did liam change the lyrics to rolling stones gimme shelter when he covered the song with beady eye, like why did he do that. Obviously the lyrics of that song are already semi-incestuous given the word he's changing is sister, but in a very kind of bland, what are you doing step-bro, straight guy kind of way.

But to change the lyrics so he sings brother instead, one makes it more personal to him as he hasn't got a sister, but also two makes it gay, which given his often homophobic nature makes it even stranger. It's not even an ambiguously platonic line either, like it's definitely meant romantically.

Like going from "I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away" to "I tell you love, brother, it's just a kiss away" is crazy right like I'm not loosing it, and to do it multiple times!!! why.

[evilskinnynoel]

actually it's worse then first thought because not only does he change sister to brother but after the first it's just a kiss away he changes the second it's just a kiss away to it's just a fist away which makes it imo even more explicitly about his relationship with noel. like I am going cuckco bananas over here.

[evilskinnynoel]

sorry not to be back here again, but he also at least twice makes a visible jerk-off motion when he sings brother? I understand that it doesn't necessarily add to this, but it's been making me giggle

The myth (?) of the Oasis + Maradona coked up orgy in Buenos Aires, 1998

In light of Oasis coming back to Argentina in a week, have the story of how in 1998 Maradona invited Liam and Noel to a "party" and ended up undressing them, told by Cristian Castro, who was hosting the party in his hotel room lmao (w/subtitles by yours truly)

For context ⬇️

Cristian Castro is a mexican singer, one of the best selling latin american artists of all time, and like most musicians, back in the day he was known for having parties, drugs, women etc. He's been living in Argentina for years now and he was friends with Diego Maradona. Since Diego was technically in house arrest at the time he couldn't actually rent a hotel room so that's why he was staying in Cristian's.

The interesting bit is that his story matches most of the brothers' versions except for the part that it was Diego's room (it wasn't, but they wouldn't know) and they said they left early while Cristian says they stayed and it all went, well. What's funny is that most people here in Argentina believe Cristian Castro bc he usually doesn't have a filter for these things and always ends up airing people's dirty laundry on accident lmao. But that's the mystery of the coked up orgy in Buenos Aires during the BHN tour.

““Liam dedicated “Wonderwall” to Noel that night. That’s how good the gig was.” “Liam announced his choice of producer for the next Oasis album. Paul Weller. ‘I don’t want to be his mate or his brother or anything like that. I’m Noel Gallagher’s brother and that’ll do me.” At Earls Court: “Then some one shone a laser beam on Noel’s forehead. ‘Oi, cunty bollocks!’ the songwriter raged into the microphone. ‘I hope your house gets burnt down to the ground, you lose your job and someone shags your bird, you fucking wanker!’ Liam looked admiringly at his older brother and said to the offender in admonishing tones, ‘You’ve had it now, I’m telling you, you’ve had it now.””
