Mad for it: The Wit & Wisdom of the Gallaghers Paul Stokes

Liam on Noel 'Who is the most overrated person of all time? Has to be Noel Gallagher.' Noel on Liam 'He's rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He's the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup.' Liam on the King 'My fascination with Elvis? Just wiping his arse with gooses' necks does it for me.' The Brothers Gallagher: the self-proclaimed heirs to Lennon and McCartney, the enfants terribles of British pop, and rock 'n' roll's most notorious sibling rivalry. For nearly two decades, Noel and Liam have loomed large over the cultural landscape - storming the charts, packing out stadia around the planet, even hobnobbing with Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street. But during this time they've done one thing more than any other: talk about it. Indeed, in an age when pop stars are air-brushed and 'media trained' into indentikit banality - lest they frighten the Saturday tea-time audiences - these mancunian motor-mouths resolutely refuse to shut up and stay 'on message'. For which we can only be grateful. The Gallaghers' verbal onslaught has bequeathed us a comprehensive, occasionally Zen-like, and above all offensive commentary on modern times, taking in everything from arch-Britpop-rivals Blur, to reality TV, the global financial crisis and belief in extra-terrestrial life. Most of all, they've taken lumps out of each other. So, for posterity, we give you: the wit and wisdom of the Brothers Gallagher. On the possibility of life on other planets 'Do I believe in Aliens? 'Course I do. I'm not frightened by them, though, I'm as smart as them. Probably thick as f***, aren't they? ...I'd do they heads in, me, frighten the life out of them! That's why they haven't landed yet.' Liam On keeping it real 'Jack White has just done a song for Coca-Cola. End of. He ceases to be in the club. And he looks like Zorro on doughnuts.' Noel On death 'On my grave, I want them to write, Don't f***ing come here with your bunches of flowers'. I don't want a gravestone, I want a V-sign, two fingers. When you're dead, you're dead. It's now that matters.' Liam
