LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE: LIAM & THE (NOT) PHOTOSHOPPED EARRING

so, there are a couple famous pictures from wembley 2000 (july 21-22) where liam appears to have an earring. cute, right?

well, if you tweet these pictures at him, he’ll tell you this: (2019-2026)

there’s obviously the chance he’s just fucking with everyone (i.e. denying the obvious vape earlier this year) BUT— it only really gets pointed out in photos from that gig. so if it is real, when did he get it?

as poet and scholar megan thee stallion once said, “don’t gotta edit, check the getty”. i’ve spent hours scouring stock photo sites looking for images where he appears to have an earring. these are not edited by fans and have been sourced from getty images & shutterstock. you may need to zoom in on some of these to see it clearly, but it’s totally there!

the earliest image i could find of liam with the earring is from the 1999 cannes film festival, held may 15 of that year. the hoop does not appear to be visible in photos from the february tommy hilfiger launch party, so he started wearing it between then and here. (he looks thrilled to be there, doesn’t he?)

more pics from ‘99:

august 11 - mickey blue eyes premiere

august 25 - water rats press conference

december 3 - 100fm radio show, philadelphia

it’s visible throughout their 2000 sotsog tour (photos taken between (february and july) and of course, at wembley! here’s the evidence from those gigs:

the last photo i can find that features the earring is from the leeds festival on august 28. these photos are pretty bad honestly and they aren’t stock photos, but there are like 5 photos of this gig out there anyway. if you look closely, there appears to be a band around his earlobe.

he was heavily photographed at the q awards that year, but his hairstyle completely hid his ears, so i can’t say for sure if it was there or not. i do believe he took it out prior to november 2000 because there are times where it caught the light and was slightly visible through his hair, but in all the photos from the event there are no signs of it.

cut to january 14 2001- liam shows up to the rock in rio festival with a noticeably bare ear!

there’s still a mark, though. here’s a great photo from june ‘01 where the piercing is clearly visible, and here’s a great picture from ‘17 that shows it’s still there— the evidence doesn’t lie!

IN CONCLUSION: LIAM IS GASLIGHTING YOU, HE DEFINITELY HAD AN EARRING FOR LIKE A YEAR.

has noel ever talked about the oasis unplugged?

Yes he has, quite a few times, in fact. The most relevant being in this behind the scenes about the unplugged:

(note that the editing in this is a bit cheeky. For example, when Noel said "shut up" he didn't say it to Liam, it was to someone in the audience lol)

And also another time where he quite dramatically said that Liam didn't care about Noel "literally dying on stage" lmao

"In 1994, I was chief photographer for Melody Maker and that July I flew to New York for the Maker’s first Oasis cover. We were booked on the same flight, but the band were in club class and me and the hack were in goats-and-chickens. Liam came back to say hello. He was a garrulous guy, even pre-fame. He was standing at the back of the plane having a beer and this woman came by huffing and puffing with some kids and Liam offered to look after one of them. He pulled down one of those seats the flight attendants sit on and had the girl on his lap and chatted to her. After the tales I’d heard, I’d thought I was about to spend a few days with a nutcase. But he was sweet as a nut.

We were out there for four days. They were shooting a video and doing a gig. This shoot was on the third day and we’d over-grooved the night before. It was punishingly hot. We got on the subway, we walked here, walked there, looking for a location, then this woman from the label said: “I know this place.” She took us to a disused bridge. It was amazing: you can see one of the greatest cities in the world behind the band. I think Liam bought the top in homage to John Lennon. There’s a picture that Bob Gruen took of Lennon wearing a similar shirt.

They’re really good people. They had a tremendous professionalism, but they always had a cheekiness, too – and such a bloody great sense of humour. Especially Liam. He’s a good laugh, a tremendous piss-taker." - Tom Sheehan (photographer) (x)

Could you share more about the Whisky a Go Go meth-disaster-gig incident please? Where does one begin with the lore behind this?

Hi Anon! The lore is indeed deep with this one. So basically for the band, and especially for Noel, "making it in the US" was a HUGE deal so their LA gig there was very very important (also on account of a lot of music business types being on attendance that day). And prior to the gig, the band thought that they were doing coke but turned out to be meth so they were awake for days and generally not in a good state of mind when they took the stage.

In Supersonic, the narrative goes on like this: They did a shit gig, everyone was playing a different song, Liam was just making up words, etc etc. Noel was the only one that was relatively composed, etc... And then Liam throws his tambourine at Noel and that's it -- there is a big fight after the gig and Noel just takes off to San Francisco and stays with a girl he'd met before (the famous Melissa Lim that Talk Tonight is written about). He comes back after a week or so and this incident somehow changes the internal band dynamics.

What's very important is that Liam says Noel left a note under his door before he left and it said "How can we go on like brothers when we do this?" (also important to note that the last part, 'when we do this' is omitted in the Supersonic documentary).

You can also read everything they've said about the incident here (compiled from the Supersonic book). A really thorough account of the event & people's statements can be found here as well.

So, that's the 'official story.' But when you watch the entire gig, it becomes clear that it was not that BAD? If anyone was screwing up, it looks like it's Noel actually. Noel's vocals are really really bad and he seems really, really fucked up. Liam's doing a good job, considering the circumstances. Anyway, I really recommend watching it and seeing for yourself:

Oasis - Live @ The Whisky-A-Go-Go 1994 (Meth Show) [Full Concert HD]

Thanks to the guy who found the tapes and made them public for everyone to see. Uploading here for an even wider spread. The boys were on cr

So if the gig was not so terrible, and if Noel, as usual, is giving us half-truths, what is the meaning behind the note that he slipped under Liam's door, "How can we go on like brothers when we do this?" Do what?

That's it from me. I hope this is a good place to start delving down the lore, anon!

desert—mouse i have a nsfw question abt oasis that i have been thinking abt for weeks 🥴 so we know that feyd despises the idea of bringing more humans into an unsustainable, dying world. and that’s part of paul’s appeal, that feyd literally cannot impregnate him under any circumstance. so like……. has feyd always pulled out with his other bed partners???? is paul the first person he’s been with that he’s allowed himself to indulge in such pleasure?????? losing my mind a bit over this tbh

oohhhh this is such a juicy question! so i think feyd has shit pull-out game. he can’t help but push in deep and come hard whenever he’s bedding someone. the thing with not wanting to procreate kinda informs how willing he is to take the breeding stock joe doesn’t want. those breeders can’t get pregnant or don’t have viable pregnancies. he just gets to fuck and suck without worrying. the inkling of fear is still there since they’re still technically able to carry, but feyd doesn’t let it bother him.

spoiler; paul, though. paul drives him fucking insane. in the coming chapters you’ll get to see feyd daydreaming about what their child might look like and how badly he wishes he could actually breed paul somehow. it drives him nuts knowing he’s the first one to ever claim him and the first one to come inside him. and that there’s no chance of paul’s belly swelling with a malformed waste-child. feyd is delirious about it! and paul is just as crazed. trying desperately to push feyd to be monstrous in one breath and yearning for love and gentleness in the next.

Sometimes - when the ex-wives and lost weekends get too much - a brother needs to let off steam. Q joins Oasis's Noel and Liam Gallagher for

This interview is…a lot. I’ve seen blurbs from it but never read the whole thing before. Anyway, highlights:

👀

Liam’s comments about being “forced to marry” Patsy are interesting because that wasn’t the story at all at the time if their engagement when he out of no where proposed to her in a hotel before Knebworth… and to say all this then both remarry only a couple years later lol

Interesting bit on Bonehead here. I wonder (because I believe he’s sober now) if he had a bad problem with alcohol. This would seem to insinuate that but then again they probably weren’t in a great place with him in 2002.

I just found this funny lol. But if it’s about a bird who can sing and play guitar, perhaps it’s not about Nicole after all? Is Song Bird Liam’s Wonderwall?
