I have a lot of respect for Liam. He's honest, raw, doesn't care what others think of him, and does his own thing.
Yeah, not too many people like that anymore.
yeah you've really gotta put yourself out there and stick your head above the parapet for people to take notice. but he just does it effortlessly. the press practically followed him on a daily basis in the 90s, and it still sounds mad today.
@@hoe2785 name me one then
@@hoe2785 yeah well it's about time more people didn't give a fuck ...too many people these days thinking 'oh no can't do this, can't do that, can say this that and the next thing'...who cares, do your thing whatever that is, wear what you want, say what you want and dojt give a shit bout others thoughts
Met him in Ireland a few years ago and shook his hand had a few words about music, sport, all sorts of stuff, lovely bloke in person very nice and polite
And? What you want a gold star ⭐
Andrew Galloway Why bother writing that, twat.
@@agsrd4496 🛎🔚
Woopee fucking doo you met another human being who happens to sing in a band and play tambourine. I met Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Vint Cerf, Bob Kahn and Tim Berners- Lee. People who change the world not a passing famous singer should be your type to meet.
@@agsrd4496 do you want a gold star for meeting those fellas too?
My nephew ran into him and asked for an autograph and he was the nicest guy imaginable. Bad boy is a good image!
I met Liam Gallagher with his then wife in a supermarket once!!! (I had to stop myself from fainting!) and he was the nicest bloke ever!! I’m standing at the checkout, and they came into the queue behind me!!! Best trip to the supermarket ever!! Lovely man. Xxx
Wife ? you mean Debbie maybe ???
What did he have in his trolley? Everybody looks in other people's trollies to see what they got.
Why feel like fainting? Hes a human a rich one but a human who prob does huge shits never put idols on a pedestal
Madgeney man I'd be in 2 minds I'd be thinking " I really want to say hi and get an autograph or a picture but then mans shopping I don't want to bother him and draw more attention to him" kinda thing.
Lol I thought you said farting u said fainting
Drove him home once (after Noels 40th Birthday bash). Hilarious and actually quite reserved in real life. He spent ample time to do the wisecracks and poses for the paps before he got in the car, then he was a different bloke. Respect.
@Beatle Stories Car thief
stage persona
@@dannysmith9360 how do you know he didn't ya clown. He's only a fucking guy that's in a band. He's mingled with plenty people in boozers and the like. So shut it ya oddity
@@agsrd4496 calm doon fruit loop.....how do u know he did
@@igappeasantsforbreakfast3813 he never claimed to know???
Love Liam he is always himself and so honest
Liam looks the healthiest and more switched on than I have seen in ages.. kudos... good interview
Jim Mcjimick I agree
Funny how shaving smartens you up so much.
He also seems more expressive with his face too... or is that just me?
older, less baby fat maybe?
You just lost all respect by saying Kudos you wanker
Never known Liam to be this relaxed and embracing life and he is a much more mature, philosophical, and essentially polite person for it. Can't wait for his new album, Mad Fer It!
Liam is Liam and Noel is Noel they both made Oasis great so stop comparing them and get on with life.
said mod
Ok, will do. But may I shit in my own mouth ?
@@aleks4307 Bawzinthemoof
Yeah but Noel is a better guitarist
Oh and Noel writes the best songs ever....
My dad named me liam after liam gallagher and I play the rock guitar and I will be in a band when I'm older
good luck, little dude! keep practicing
Hope so kiddo 👌
oh you better be
Don’t give up! 🤘🏻
Mr and Mrs KZhead have great taste in names.
I'm loving Liam's new chilled out attitude
The word "Legend" gets given to people too freely these days in my opinion but this guy is a proper Legend. Down to earth even after all the success and fortune,breath of fresh air in a world of wannabes and will neverbes.Fortunate enough to have seen Oasis in first British Tour and numerous times after as well as Liam and his band. Long live Rock n Roll
The guy has such a great smile and really seems to have matured on so many levels
Liam is a breath of fresh air ♥️

talent?

Get a grip maybe not for evrybody but the man has talent
Down to earth..No airs and graces.. He makes you laugh when he's serious... Loved Oasis.. Pity they split.. Like Noel as well..
He was born WITH IT. He’ll always have IT. ✨
Can't help but love LG....Damn right you ain't snide.A true honest kind person.Brilliant interview.xx
Most down to earth celeb ever
Liam always makes my day a bit better, music or interview, all epic.
Best Liam interview yet! He seems so happy in himself and it shows in his music!
Liam's got his mojo back. Love them both.
Geezer
Matthew, have you seen the John Doran interview, on British Masters? He's on good form in that one too. I'd recommend it, if you've not seen it.
Neil Hansford thanks man I’ll give it a watch
I always enjoy a Liam interview. It’s always entertaining. As You Were.
Embarrassing
proper honest
Great interview. He comes across so intelligent. Hes matured into a true hero of mine. Well done mate
Liam is awesome - he's a sound geezer and I wish the man well. Looking forward to the new album in September with 'Shockwave' etc. Loving it large!!
History is History...... He's back bigger and better than ever ... The man LG x
Evans loves the sound of his own voice. Everyone else loves Liam 😎👍top geezer!
I closed the curtains and was cleaning up the milk that I'd spilt. 😂
Great presenter , first time I heard Chris on radio. Liams a nice genuine guy
Love how he pauses trying to think of a not swear word to describe something
Liam is absolutely honest. The great ones are humble, and they stay real. Liam the great.
I'm an American who discovered Definitely Maybe on its release when I was only 12 years old. Absolutely LOVED Oasis throughout high school and into college. I have to admit, I had an opinion on Liam's behavior and attitude over the years. But hindsight is 20/20. Seeing this interview, watching his Unplugged special recently, and for some reason hearing him tell Chris, "God bless ya!"...I don't know, it hits different. It just seems like he's in a really, really good place, and I'm fully here for it.
Happy bloke these days. Good interview and the film is a great watch.
Good to see and hear Liam in a good place
Liam was always the heart of Oasis . He's the most sensitive of the Brothers and goes with his heart. Now once that gets into the music then people will respond. If you've seen this film you'll realise Noel is manipulative of his younger brothers emotions. I'm happy with where Liam is at the moment and he looks so alive. X
lionheart11381 I actually think Noel is the more sensitive one. I think it’s clear they’ll be the one 90’s band that will not get back together...always thought it’d be the Pumpkins, but for the most part they’ve figured it out.
The best band was the blur lol maybe
Hard to say. They both benefited from each other. Liam and Bonehead freely admitted they were utter shite their songs until Noel arrived and wrote them and made them rehearse properly. But no way Oasis could have been Oasis without Liam as front man. So they both need each other and as Liam's voice faded in late 90s as well as they the Brit pop guitar sound Noel pioneered, then it was obvious they would start to get at each other's throats. This coincided with them also starting serious families and partners of their own, so likely that turned them against each other too
This is great. I discovered the Irish pub footage thanks to this. Love it
His talent and confidence never dies. Thank goodness. He always brightens up my day!😊
brilliant interview!
I really like these two... Great interview. loving Liam's softer side. He's a really good looking guy even after all the alcohol and drugs!
Saw Liam on the Strand in London today (14th June), said hello and what a epic guy! Top Debut Album 🤘🏻
I would melt into a puddle of filth
@@KRAPYBARA84 calm down
Always a pleasure to hear either of the Gallaghers talking about their lives in and around the music industry. Both still down to earth as they ever were and up for a laugh a few pints and a gig or two. As you were.
I just love love Liam Gallagher. Could listen to him all day and would love to meet him. Fabulous guy for real 💙
I'm sure I read Chris Evans is more of a Liam fan than a Noel fan so you can see Liam likes interacting with him, no attitude, just being open with him. Good chat!
Liam is my favourite person in the music industry. Love that he's growing his hair...soooo good-looking!
he takes the piss out of bonehead’s barnet he can’t lose his
Great interview
I love the Liam and Noel story, sorry its hilarious, the breakage of the guitars is beyond, I love it, gosh dysfunction in every family its fabulous. Love it and mom will not budge out her neighborhood. Adorable.
Nice to see him in such a better place in himself... 👌
Likkle Liam keeping it real ...the realist person in show biz
@loopy Ruane Idiot !
He is laughing! And he has teeth 😄 I love him! Very very beautiful man and so talented 🤟🏻🤘🏻
watched this 2x still can't get enough
Say what you about Liam but deep down he’s not a bad bloke he’s got a heart of gold
Can see that! Great guy. Humble!
Great, thanks. He’s a fuckwit.
@SergioMartelli I think he should stop being arrogant and explain the personality change on not doing the drugs.
SergioMartelli I couldn’t give a fuck what you say
@SergioMartelli pussy
I like both Noel and Liam. But always felt that out of the 2 Liam is more genuine. Noel always seems like a guy that you wouldnt stand with your back to.
Because his dad used to kick the fuck out of him. Extreme PTSD.
great interview
Good interview :)
Wow! Looking so good! Wonderful interview! ✨👏✨
Not looking too bad yourself Lou lol
One of the soundest and funniest blokes ever. Would love about 20 Guinness with him. Mad Fer it!!
Enjoyed that wish it was a bit longer
He's ace. Gotta love the man X
"A ginger bloke geezer can not throw Oasis off the stage" - Liam Gallagher
Well he's not ginger anymore
Ginger bollocks to grey bollocks
Haha funny as fuk
Thought they were gonna address that. Guess they've crossed paths since 96. "it's gonna take more than f*ckin ginger bollocks to throw us off stage."
@winstoneism Guess that he chose the long road?
I was never a fan of the brothers but listening to Liam now, he's sorted his head out and comes across as a really decent fella. Cheers Liam
Bolt ya rocket
You too, braniac
Still realing from finsbury park what a memory x
I have so much respect for Liam , for his music, his vibe & his telling it at it is or as it isn't
He’s so 🔥 proper rock and roll 💫 ❤️
can wait for the new album.
Kin ye no naw
Brilliant interview
Hinkso aye
Liam makes my day every day! I need to hear his voice daily in order to get through the day.
the same applies with me except it's Noel voice
How can you not love this man, he never changed! Biblical!
Staying the same isn't evolving.
Yea he's always been a prick
The youth bloody love you too, absolute legend
Oh wit
Liam " The Bad Boy " Gallagher ! Being Behaved today. Good interview.
@TheGooners11 I laughed when I heard that line and immediately knew it was about Noel. Ha,ha
Good interview. ‘Take more than ginger bollocks to get me off stage’ still makes me smile. Liam looking good, sounding good & funny as ever. So happy he is back, & he seems happy. Liam says it how it is. Can’t wait for the new album, don’t ever stop. 😀👍🏻
Love this Legend 👊👊🍻🍻
A really good interview and also a good reminder of just how good Chris Evans is . TFI in the 90’s The Glory Years
Liam Gallagher is genuine, hes not fake. That is one of his best qualities, decent guy.
@Robert Reynolds whats that supposed to mean?
Mr Liam Gallagher love you your down to earth way star for real well done keep presenting good music for me and all your everlasting fan's to enjoy for what it's worth lolx 🤩

Thank you Liam ☺
Bloody love him ❤️
Not watched an interview with Liam in a long time. He has still got his feet on the ground :) and is sooooooooooo likeable. Tried to go and see in in Japan 2 years ago. Maybe I will make it to the Eden Project in 2 days :) 'I said maybe' Liam, is sick as fuck mate!
I was 13 when Wonderwall came out and I used to watch music video programs on the Tele before all that KZhead, social media hoo haa came out. I missed watching the count downs etc... and when Wonderwall hit #1 on the music video program/charts. I was like shit, this is and still is the best song I’ve ever heard at age 13. Missed the 90’s.
I feel the exact same way. I watched the wonderwall on mtv and VIVA endlessly at 13 !!
I think it's awesome that you play guitar now as well Liam. I think your star is rising again. Great new track. 🌟
Love Liam, proper Manc legend, and he's right about the carnage when he's in town. I've been in the Elizabethan when he walks in with his mates.Totally larger than life, but full of .. .. love (Sorry to disappoint the haters).
My wife asked me to stop singing Oasis songs ...I said maybe
Absolute class! Lol!
Ronnie Mccoll don’t look back in anger!

You got to roll with it , its getting better man , stop crying your heart out
Sing all you want OASIS love will never die the band will always be #1 to me .love it , Liam will have more great stuff can't wait

New album is unbelievable
Seen & listened to a guy busking in Trafaltar Square last month he was amazing keeping the dream alive Liam or Noel want to get down there and give him the shock of his life ! He is fantastic ? A Champagne Supernova 🥂💯🎯👍

I got a feeling that the new album will be so big.. September though.. its going to be a long long summer waiting..
Thought the same thing... September???? Why??? 🤔 but on 2nd thought - they gotta release 3 singles, do proper promotion for it blah blah blah...... I've been hangin for that album, can't fookin wait. It's gonna be AWESOME!!!!!

Had to switch this off at 6 min when Chris Evans stars talking about the radio show as one of liams career highlights
I would’ve loved to go on a weeks bender with Liam back in the mid 90’s. I would get along with him famously 😜✌🏼😎 Please let us have a Oasis Reunion 2022 ♥️🙌🏼🕉🤩
One of the few remaining true rock frontmen still kicking ass in the world today. Others off the top of my head I can think of are Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl.
For fucks sake you didn't just mention Vedder, Grohl and Liam in the same sentence did you... Please tell me you fell on the keyboard and typed a load of crap. I would guess you are just clueless though! That's hilarious
The Hop ever seen vedder live ? I'll hazard a guess no. In any case calling the fellah clueless because his pantheon doesn't line up with yours sounds a bit harsh. Anyway, have a good day
@@thehop639 definitely vedder and his song writing but not so much grohl
@@thehop639 And Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. He is the best frontman in rock n roll.
