Robbie challenged Liam to a boxing match, accusing the brothers of bullying him.

I will beat the f_cking shit out of Harrison, Jagger, Richards and that other c_nt. If any of them old farts have got a problem with me, then they should leave their Zimmer frames at home and I'll hold them up with a good right hook. They're jealous and they're senile. If they want to fight, I"ll beat them up - Liam
Great publicity for Be Here Now!

Oasis were great. Noel was a great songwriter although not so much these days in my opinion. Liam is one of the greatest front men of all time.
I'm one (of the few) who likes Liam's attitude, and I really like him as a frontman (mainly because he's so different from the rest).
But... come on!

Oasis were never Nirvana or bigger than The Beatles, or in their pathetic crank up, Jesus. Liam is a moron. What a complete toss they are.

No they were better than Nirvana giving the youth positive spirits and outlook for life rather than pathetic, suicidal darkness (even though some Nirvana songs are great with interesting riffs and harmonies). Oasis haven't got much in common with the Beatles except they are from the north, Oasis owe much more to the Stones, The Who, Pistols and the Faces.
You obviously haven't met them as they are great lads, you shouldn't believe everything that is written in the press. Hadn't it been for Oasis I would never had become such a big Stones fan seeing our boys all around the world or gone back to my child hood heroes like Little Richard and Chuck Berry. I would probably have ended up listening to some right s*it like radiohead or coldplay who are fine musicians I'm sure but they are NOT larger than life artists who you would play at your funeral or watching together at Knebworth with 125 000 other people.
Rock n Roll is supposed to be what the best of the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's came up with. Now we're just inhaling the last fumes, once Dylan, Stones and the others are gone it's over. Oasis were the last new band who generated that mass excitement, they just didn't play the game in the US but everywhere else they were massive. Although it meant that I got to see some real intimate theatre gigs in the midwest which was great.
It's funny I beat Noel Gallagher to meet Keith Richards with about 10 years, I would never have thought!

For terraplane, he was - we'll have to respect that. The same culturally importance for the general public? Not even close, but I don't doubt for a second that he thought he was himself
However, it always comes down to the music, which I never was a big fan of - but have learned to enjoy the last few years.
It's a long way up to the "biggest band in the world"-crap, though. Although they were popular here and in many other countries as well (far from being the most popular act, though), Britain was always their main domain.

Two and half million people applied for tickets to their two Knebworth shows, a record for that time.

Oasis... Hootie.
I thought - and still do - Suede were awesome.
The tripe about "positive spirits" than "suicidal darkness"... do you complain about Pink Floyd as well? After all, they only wrote about a mentally cranked up "genius". That's a stretch.
Oasis never made it big in the States because they suck. They weren't fun. It didn't translate, two miserable hops bitching about yobbing a fag with their Beatles wanna be rip off music. As exciting as needing a shot for being exposed to a rusty nail.
Truth vs 1960s wannabes - give me the truth. Quite a bit difficult to find a spotty laden down trodden pub in the States thinking Oasis are great. YAWN. That's enough. It's stupid. It doesn't matter, really. Now you know I know that Oasis suck. Wonderful.

It baffles me somewhat when I read that Oasis didn’t ‘break America’, etc. What’s The Story (Morning Glory?) sold well stateside, didn’t it? All their albums faired reasonably well on Billboard. Certainly, they were never huge there, but not were they unknown, like so many of Oasis’ British contemporaries. They were far more popular in the U.S. than, say, Blur, their closest competitor in the U.K.
Perhaps Oasis were just too British for America. That’s probably why they could never sell-out stadiums, say. I’m sure it isn’t because they ‘suck’

I like Liam, as mentioned above, is a true Rock Star at heart, a rebel, not your typical fake Rock Star of today. He drinks , he fights, he's anti-social etc.
The other thing to mention is that the guy isn't the drunk moron he's portrayed as being, ( admittedly he hasn't done much to help his image in that way ) he's actually a really entertaining intelligent honest man, there is something very open and human about him, underneath the angry veneer i think he's a sensitive soul, a loveable rouge probably sums him up best, and a bloody brilliant singer.

Mate, they use that description, "suck", because they are fat, jealous and don't look the part, this is due to all the gene modified meat they are forced to eat in the US.Oasis ain't too British, thats why they are big all over South America and Europe. If ya ain't got the cheekbones and the hairdo, DO NOT BOTHER. Liam is the only one coming Close to being a new Keith Richards.

Thing is, the 'bad behaviour' stories are twenty-five years old, now. He's middle-aged and far more well-behaved today, I'm sure.

Exactly, we are talking about the 90s , he's mellowed into a nice guy, time his Brother forgave him and got the band back together, incidentally i think Noel is great too.
