"I never truly write from a personal perspective because I have to give it to Liam to sing, and he has to believe the songs are written through him, by me. And my brother is a piss-taker of the highest degree. If he even smells a rat, he goes, 'I'm not having that.' So I write from the perspective that there's this imaginary person singing the song, and he's called Noel&Liam."

"He's the singer in my band and I'm his songwriter. There's something between us that will never be broken."

'I'm tired of analysing me and Liam,' says Noel. 'I'm in a band with him, and I'm always going to be in a band with him. Whether it's good or bad, could be better, could be worse, is irrelevant. I'd freak out if he wasn't there. He's the bullshit detector in anything I do.'

“I need him more than he needs me,” he admits at one point, later referring to him as the best rock ‘n’ roll singer the UK has ever seen. “I never wanted to be a solo artist. I loved being in Oasis, and if the band had stayed together, I would’ve been the happiest pig in the nicest pigpen.”

So how close did you come to splitting? Noel: We didn't. We sat down and I said, "Listen, I love you and you love me, what's the most important thing? One: the music. Two: the singer. Three: the cunt who writes the songs."

Liam rejoins his brother and I can see why they aren't Cain and Abel. This pair is a mutual protectorate. The look of pride on Noel's face as Liam warms to the rant that will rattle the pots on tea-time radio says everything about this odd couple; the more pleased Noel looks with him, the more emotional Liam gets. They're laughing and hugging. They're two kids back in the playground, looking out for each other. Flesh and blood. Oasis. They won't give it up. "I rate him," Liam says of Noel. "I don't hate him. How could I? Except for days when I could hate anyone, including meself. He doesn't hate me, either. He'd have nothing else to write about, would he? And he lets me sing his songs. The best songs. I love him. He gave me a ticket to ride."

—I Am Disturbance by Max Bell | British GQ February 1998

But I was gutted because Our Kid — who loves it, it's one of his favourites — but he was just walking around going, 'You fucking knobhead! Why did you write that now? Why couldn't you have waited for a year so it could go on the next album? Or why didn't you write it for the last album, you fucking dick!' And he works himself up into a frenzy where he hates me for writing this great song at that particular point. And I'm going, 'So basically what you're saying is you love me and it's a great song?' 'Yeah! You fucking knobhead!'"

It's interesting to me that Liam's attachment and abandonment issues centre on Noel and not their mam which I might have assumed considering how she doted on him and the age difference between Liam & his brothers. I have to wonder if it's because Noel often withheld affection and always dreamed of leaving and did so, first the Inspiral Carpets then London. But Peggy had to leave him home alone and their father left them all the time and had no affection for anyone which is where the issues likely stem from. And then Liam supposedly 'came as part of the package' with Noel roadying for the Inspiral Carpets. And Noel did join Liam's band and they toured together. And Noel stayed in Oasis for 17 years despite talking of leaving for much of it. And he wrote a song called Take Me Away about Liam. So maybe it was something else

So I’m writing this little story about Noel, Knebworth 1996 doc and Liam is around sort of.. all very self indulgent. Check this shit out :)

WIP based off of that one bonus track off of the Japanese version off of ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’. I’m still not at drawing them yet but you get the gist..

‘Can Y’See It Now? (I Can See It Now!!)’ is such a tune and i wish it made it into the album!! I like it more than mucky fingers tbh…

ANYWAY- Will i finish this…? prolly not… we’ll see
