Do not fall off the crocodile
Legend Britpop Liam Gallagher gave an interview Lenta.ru
To Russia with a tour group arrives Beady Eye, a new project of the former Oasis frontman and main British hooligan-1990's (a couple, of course, with his brother Noel) Liam. June 2 team, which includes other ex-members of Oasis Gem Archer and Andy Bell will perform in St. Petersburg "Glavklube, and June 4 - Milk club in Moscow. The tour is timed to the release of their debut album, Beady Eye "Different Gear, Still Speeding". In anticipation of this event, Lenta talked to Liam on the phone. Since when communicating musician often uses obscene words, the translation of his speech, it was decided to approach creatively, because the words being said, the song can not erase.
Lenta: What do you expect from Russia?
Liam: I do not know. In this, perhaps, lies the charm of travel in new countries - do not know what you expect. The new group, the new program, a new country. This will be new for everyone - for listeners and for us.
Do you think your new band will be popular in Russia as the previous one?
You'll love us!
It was rumored that Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs (one of the founders of Oasis - Prim. "Heathcliff!") is ready to play Beady Eye. Do you invite him to her?
No, no and no. We do not need help. Arthurs, of course, a great guy, but we do without it in order. Ready 100 percent.
Andy Bell, who plays in your group, was once a great project Ride. Do not know if he was going to return it?
Which is it? I mean, Ride collapsed, then Bell was playing somewhere else (Hurricane # 1 - approx. "Heathcliff!"), Then - in the Oasis and now plays in the Beady Eye. And why would he come back? Although the so someone who knows.
You have the album cover girl riding a crocodile. This is what in general?
This picture shows the distortion of the human mind. In general, we just needed a catchy psychedelic picture. In addition, it has to do with the name - Different Gear, Still Speeding (Another program is still accelerating). Alligator as a means of transportation - that can be more convenient, eh?
Maybe a picture would be even more psychedelic, if it was upside down?
Well if you want a disc you can always just turn. And silly it somehow. A silly - it's not quite psychedelic.
That is, therefore, between the psychedelic and stupidity is a big difference?
Of course! By itself, the girl at the crocodile is psychedelic. And when it turns - turns dull. Yes, and it will fall with a crocodile.
You can, in principle, paste ...
(Irritated) Just bl * Th, jokes in this image is not enough. Jokes, bl * Th, psychedelic to have no relation.
In the charts are a bit of guitar music. For example, the first album, Beady Eye is not got to the top of UK charts ...
But from the guitar-it was the first time!
Yeah, but not the question. Do not you think that the failure of the first album - an indicator of the decline of guitar music?
Interest in guitar music is cyclical. And most importantly, bl * Th, especially not sweating about it. Well, now is not just our time, and more time electronic music, or where bl * Th, dance music - as it s * ck any name. But our music is still a show. And in general, these charts do all sorts of old music world and they, in general, FSUs * First, just to pay the money. For example, my son loves dubstep, but for now this dubstep crowded all the charts, and because of this it count, hates your favorite music. It is now a business, and we, bl * Tb, we know what we say. It would be possible to accuse us that we neither x * I have no sense, but we were on top of the charts, we know how, bl * Tb, it's there.
Well it turns out - is music to get into the charts and she has already died?
Not exactly, of course. Just seems to me that the charts right now may not be indicative of what is really happening in music - still are not 70, not 80 or even 90's. They fall into the phenomena, not musicians. That is, look at them and think: "Where are these guys in 20 years? Will they even play, giving concerts? You remember at least someone their names?" In general, all these charts - partly lies. But the guitars are telling the truth.
Guitars do not lie?
No, the guitar do not lie. Nobody picks the guitar as a tool simply because it wants to be number one.
Do you have a favorite British groups are now?
Of course, Beady Eye! Yes, and no more. Of course there are some groups that we sometimes hear, there are groups with whom we have been friends for a long time. But this is all old and the new is nothing memorable I have recently heard of. Perhaps there is something, but none of these groups probably just have not "fired."
When will the new album?
Well, we've already started work. The tour will end, and I think that we write have all the material by the end of this year. Then, of course, if not nakosyachim, then fly to the album will be ready. Yes, I think, by the summer of next year's album will be released.
What is your best work - a song, album? Maybe some kind of picture painted in the school?
I think I have not done their best work. Hopefully, we will still accelerate, we still all ahead. I think every next better than the last.
Do not you think that 40 years - it is a lot for a rock star?
None. Of course, if you bl * Th, wearing leather pants and always carry a dose of e * uchego hashish, then yes, of course, such an age is coming. But we are - not as a star, we are very different. We do not carry, bl * Th, shoes with thick soles and other "rocker" x * ynyu like any Kiss. It's just stupid, they even do not normally sit.
What is your favorite curse word?
Take your fucking bullnose out of my face (Roughly translated as "Not me tych x * it in your face.")
And what, then, is your favorite sin? There is a view of the Bible, for example.
Difficult to say. I am somehow not very familiar with the Bible.
Well, you like to have fun, drink, tusit with girls? The same can be attributed to sin.
That, incidentally, to drink - a great sin. And anyway, bl * Tb, the Bible - it's just a book.
Who's your favorite of The Beatles?
Yes, they all loved.
And right now nobody can not specifically identify?
Maybe John Lennon, the Beatles without him there would be ... No, they really like me.
If you were offered to participate in a tribute to The Beatles, what song would you play?
When talking about The Beatles, must argue about everything works right. But if you had to choose one or the "Something" by George Harrison - a very good song.
Here, incidentally, there were rumors that you went to the movie business: they organized the first draft of which will be a biopic about The Beatles. Is that so?
It's all nonsense.
And the last question. What Manchester City "better" than Manchester United?
We certainly are not as successful as they (Manchester United - approx. "Heathcliff!") - But that's because we're just getting poorer.
You've got something, the guy has a favorite team?
Let it be "Spartacus" (meaning, of course, Tambov namesake of one famous Moscow team - Note. "Heathcliff!").
Well, what are they?
Well, actually, of course, sucks. But I like them.
Well, that's the answer to your question.
Thank you, see you in Moscow!
See ya!
