Liam: Nah, nah, nah. There's no rules. Why don't you show me the rule book, then...coz if you've got a rule book, what you're saying is complete and utter fuckin' (picks up tape recorder and holds it to mouth) Bloooarskybluh!
Noel: I haven't got a rule book. I'm not saying there's any rules. I'm saying you're proud of the fact, you're proud of the fact. Why?
Liam: Coz it happened. I'm not proud...no, I'm not...If it didn't happen, if it didn't hapen, we wouldn't have been asked. Yeah, I won't be going...I won't be going...no, I don't go out to fucking' get a vibe and that to go "Yeah, yeah..."
Noel: You do! You do! You do, you walk into hotel fuckin' foyers and you get everybody at it and you go "Pssst", knocking on people's doors and go "hey", fuckin'...
Liam: I'm having the crack.
Noel: Right. Yeah. You're proud of the fact.
Liam: And it's not doing anyone any harm. It's not doing anyone any harm. That's me. John Lennon used to fuckin' burn about doing little mad things, and that...
Noel: Do you know John Lennon?
Liam: Do you know him?
Noel: I don't, but do you?
Liam: Yeah.
Noel: Well, you must be pretty old. How old are you? 21?
Liam: No. About fuckin' thousand and five fuckin' one.
Noel: You're 22.
Liam: No, I'm 21.
Noel: Right. And remember, I watched you being born...
Liam: Right.
Noel: ...and I don't even know John Lennon.
Liam: Right.
Noel: Right, then, so shut the fuck up about knowing John Lennon...so what are you trying to say, then?
Liam: What I'm saying's that you're not rock 'n' roll. You want to be teetotal and walk around and go like that (more mincing)?
Noel: I think you're missing the point. Liam: No, you're missing the point.
(indecipherable)
Q: Then why did he put the references to white lines in Cigarettes & Alcohol?
Liam: Exactly, why, why, didn't you, why, why...
Noel: That is, that's a part...that's not being bad, that's a part of life. That is a part of fuckin' life, we all snort white lines every day.
Liam: Exactly. and we all get into trouble now & again, we all have little fights... Noel: No we don't. We don't all get into trouble. Liam: But I do.
Liam: You want to be, you want to be..
Noel: Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Music! Let's talk about music! Liam: (in background) You want to be, you want to be, you want to be Keith Richards. You want to be Keith Richards. Admit it. Admit it. You want to be Keith Richards. Admit it. Admit it. Admit it. Admit it.
Noel: Let's talk about music. Let's not talk about you being a hard guy. Let's talk about music. Let's talk about music! Let's not talk about you being an 'ard guy, let’s talk about music, let’s not talk about you being an ‘ard man, let's talk about music.
Liam: You're getting hung up about...you're getting hung up about a situation that occured on a boat!
Q: Let's go back to where we were before, when you said...that people saying "I go on Oasis' bus and you can't move for drugs and all that, and they're fuckin’ up all night..." You're up for that? You're up for that? That's the side that you will go..
Noel: Right. People are sat, right, in England, right now, in flats across this country, whether it be Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield...in rooms like this. And they've all got their drugs out. that's no fucking...that is no big...that is a part of life.
Liam: Exactly. So shut the fuck up , man! Noel: I'm not talking about that! Liam: Shut the fuck up, man, you're just contradicting yourself.. Noel: I’m not, I’m not, I’m not.. Liam: ..You've had too many fuckin’ drinks, right. The thing is, I don't want to be classed...I don't want to go on about how I'm this, how I'm a hard fucker, and I'm this... I'm in this band to make fucking music, but that thing will come along with it. It always does.
Q: The Who hated each other you know? Liam: Yeah, well I hate this bastard.
Q: Is that important to you? Is that what fires this band up?
Liam: Yeah. That's what it's all about. That's w hy we'll be the best band in the world, because I fuckin' hate that twat there.Q: The Who used to go on about how much they fuckin' hated eachother. Noel: The same goes for you (laughing)Liam: Yeah, well I fuckin' hate him. And I hope one day there's a release where I can smash fuck out of him, with a fuckin' Rickenbacker, right on his nose, and then he does the same to me, coz I think that we're stepping right up to it now. There's a fuckin' line there and we're right on the edge of it.
Q: How often do you have arguments like this?
Liam: Every fuckin'...every day. Every day. Every time... Noel: Hourly Q: Yeah.
Noel: Hourly
Q: And how do you manage to go on stage with each other?
Liam: I fuck him off.
Q: Do you argue immediately before you...do you argue immediately before you...
Liam: I've got a mike stand, I've got a mike stand, yeah. And I've got a mike stand, right, and that's what I'm about, right, what I'm into. I'm not going to fuck off because he thinks my views are fucking too outrageous or whatever. I've got my fuckin' vibe, and I go to that mike stand, and I do my business. He stands fuckin' in his fuckin' corner, he does, he does his little riffs and his little dance - let him do that. McGuigan does his fuckin' bit, I'll do my bit, the drummer does their bit. And that's what it's all about. Five people, not one.
Q: Do you have any recurring dreams?
Noel: Yeah. Just the one.
Q: What is it?
Liam: (menacingly) When I take over the band.
Note: Where Liam & Noel's comments aren't seperated is where they're talking at the same time. Or trying to, that is.
