Fact #191699
When:
Short story:
Oasis play the second of two nights at Wembley Stadium, London, England, UK, Europe, supported by Doves and Happy Mondays.
Full article:
Noel Gallagher : As soon as he walked bladdered into the dressing room, you could feel the atmosphere go wallop to the floor. I just thought, 'Oh. My. God. There's going to be sixty million people watching.'
Liam Gallagher : I’d had a shitty year. Just come off a tour. Missus had left. I ain’t fucking Superman. I came home, she’s fucked off and left me with a tea bag. I went on the piss. End of story. I was only half as pissed as half the people in the crowd.
Chloe Gallagher (audience) : One thing was clear from the start, as well as the band's intentions to play a great night: Liam Gallagher was in a foul mood, and he was out for blood.
Paul Elliott (Music 365) : The rift between the pair has never seemed wider. And it makes for a thrilling rock `n' roll spectacle. Over the course of the evening Noel will refer to Liam as both a `twat' and a `c**t'. "It's true," Liam admits, "I am a fucking twat." You don't get that at a U2 show.
Noel Gallagher : It's very painful when the singer is gesturing towards you that you're a wanker while you're playing.
Paul Elliott ; Amazingly, the band appear to thrive on the tension. A disappointingly perfunctory stab at `Wonderwall' aside, it's a brilliant performance which confirms Oasis as the pre-eminent rock band of their generation. They finish with a ferocious version of `Rock `N' Roll Star' and Liam is left alone …
Chloe Gallagher : … he casually walked over to Noel's guitar, and strummed it a few times. Then we thought he had left us. But no. A voice rang out over the PA: "I'm not going 'till you go." Well, that was it. He stopped us leaving for at least another five minutes, trying to work out if there would be a second encore.
Noel Gallagher : We came offstage and all the complimentary-drinks wankers were saying 'great gig' and me and Andy were like, 'Have we just been in a private nightmare here?' You don't want the singer in the band … He didn't even sing in the right key. It was just fucking shit.
