Noel Gallagher on Liam’s "Potato" Diss: “I Guess It Was About Him Staying Relevant”
In May, Liam Gallagher went on a protracted Twitter rant about his brother, Noel, during which he called him a potato and declared “FUCK OASIS.” In an interview with The Toronto Star, Noel replied to his brother’s comments. “That’s so unlike him,” he said. “I guess it was about him staying relevant. If you’re him, what else is there to tweet about? How his spring/summer collections are doing for his clothing firm? I’m not sure that warrants a tweet. Should he ever climb out of the ‘where are they now’ basket and grant you an interview, ask him. I’m sure you’ll get a typically fucking surreal answer.”
When asked if they were on speaking terms, he said: “We’ve not been on speaking terms since 1996. I tolerated him up until he stopped being able to sing. When singing becomes shouting—I switched off then. I was just amassing money.”
The band may not be getting back together soon, but earlier this year, the in-the-works Oasis documentary got a title and release date. Supersonic, named after the band’s 1994 single, is hitting UK theaters in October. Asked about Supersonic in the Toronto Star interview, Noel said: “Somewhat predictably, it’s quite funny. I come out of it like a bit of a soothsayer really. I was saying we’d be the last of a dying breed; so it came to pass.”
