Liam Gallagher wanted to break brother Noel ‘f****** jaw’ after he refused to let him use Oasis tracks in new documentary
Liam Gallagher wanted to “break” brother Noel Gallagher’s “f****** jaw” after he refused to let him use Oasis music in his documentary As It Was.
The 46-year-old insisted he’s not “sad” and didn’t “cry” over it, but he was left fuming and felt like smashing Noel and his manager’s windows in when he found out.
Speaking to Sky News at the premiere of As It Was at London’s Alexander Palace Theatre on Thursday night, he ranted: “Him and his little people saw it and took the Oasis music out of it because that’s all he’s got left, d’ya know what I mean. Let him get on with it.
“It doesn’t make me sad, it makes me f****** mad. I’m not a p****, I’m not sad about it, I want to break his f****** jaw and his daft f****** manager, but that’s what happens. I’m not sad about it, I didn’t go home and cry, I just wanted to go and f****** put their windows through.”
Liam has been at loggerheads with Noel, 51, for years after a backstage bust-up between the brothers at their concert in Paris in 2009, which led to the demise of the Britpop group.
The documentary – helmed by Charlie Lightening – shows a softer side to the rock star who is always spouting off on Twitter, and Liam admitted that an endless supply of drugs and fame wasn’t why he joined a band in the first place.
He said: “I didn’t join a band to f****** be a dick. I was doing drugs before I got in a band so I’m not one of them that go, ‘I’m in a band now so let’s have a line of speed’ or whatever, I was doing that sh*t when I was 15, so it was all f******* old hat by the time I got in it.
“The drugs just got a bit better, the clothes got better and you got to see the world.”
The Wall of Glass singer has calmed down a lot in recent times – as he explains in the movie, he would rather take in the places he visits across the world than go boozing until the early hours – and he has adopted a healthier lifestyle as he wakes up in the early hours to go for a jog every day.

He said: “At the moment I’m happier doing what I’m doing but if I want to go and get off me box I’ll do it.
“Cos no one can stop me.”
In February, Liam claimed Noel was threatening to take legal action over use of their songs.
The documentary focuses on Liam’s journey from “boredom, booze and legal battles” to solo star with the release of his debut solo LP As You Were and subsequent sold-out global concerts and is out now.
