Liam's in the Does Rock 'N' Roll Kill Braincells? bit in NME this week, which is just 10 questions.
1) On the cover of 'Definitely Maybe', which film is playing on TV? Liam:"The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." NME:"Correct" Liam:"It's a top film, innit. Whose decision was it to put that film on the TV? Oh, it was obviously Noels..."
2) Complete this lyric: "Gotta get me a doctor with a remedy..." Liam:"What song's that? Don't know that. I wasn't involved in any of that nonsense." NME:"Wrong. It's "I'm gonna take me a walk with the Monkey Man" from Oasis' 'Bag It Up'"
3) What sort of event did Oasis play at in the video for 'Lyla'? Liam:"It was meant to be a rock'n'roll circus thing, like the Stones, but it turned into some Culture Club shite." NME:"Correct. It was a masked ball."
4) On the cover of 'Be Here Now' a calendar reads August 21, but what day of the week? Liam:"Wednesday." NME:"Wrong. Thursday." Liam:"Don't know if there was any significance to that. If there was, I'm sure Noel came up with it."
5) In which town was the Oasis Leisure Centre, when listed as a venue on an Inspiral Carpets gig poster, gave the band its name? Liam:"Swindon." NME:"Correct." Liam:"It wasn't just that though. There was a shop in the Manchester Arndale Market called Oasis that used to sell cool clothes too, and there was a taxi fucking rank round the corner called Oasis. It meant that we were out there, because we were different. It was a shit name, but most band names are shit. Look at Beady Eye - shit fucking name."
6) Which daytime Channel 4 show were you rumoured to be in talks to appear on weekly in 2007? Liam:"No idea." NME:"Wrong. It was Countdown." Liam:"Don't know about that. Chick's alright though, the one that gives out the numbers. Carol Vorderman was fit too."
7) Before he was in Oasis, which band was Alan White in? Liam:"Starclub." NME:"Correct. Apparently he also played with Dr. Robert from The Blow Monkeys." Liam:"Didn't know that, but I remember them. I don't think I ever heard Starclub."
8) If everyone who applied online for a ticket had gone, how many nights would you have sold out at Knebworth? Liam:"Three?" NME:"Wrong. Twenty nights." Liam:"Wow, we must have been big. That is absolutely mental. We should have done that, shouldn't we? I remember the first night getting completely off me fucking box. I was with Patsy (Kensit). I woke up because someone was knocking on the door and saying, "Come on, you've got to do it all again." I was like, "What?!" I forgot we had another night. Imagine what I'd have been like after 20."
9) Who briefly replaced Guigsy on bass when he left Oasis in 1995 citing nervous exhaustion? Liam:"Scott McLeod. Geezer. No idea what happened to him." NME:"Correct."
10) An in-flight row over which foodstuff led to you being banned for life from Cathay Pacific? Liam:"A scone. Everyone else was getting scones, even the fucking road crew. I said to the bird, "Ere y'are, can I have one of them fucking scones?" She's like, "No", so I said, "Fuck you then" and it all went off." NME:"Correct."
Total Score - 6/10. Liam:"I didn't think I'd do that well. I don't remember a lot. Not like our kid - he can remember everything can't he? Remember that Creation film? So called druggie rock stars of the '90s with fucking great memories..."

Question 5 is interesting. I always thought the band was supposed to be an "oasis in a desert of bad music" until I saw Noel's story about the leisure center. Nice to know my initial impression was actually right. For the record, I think Oasis is a very good band name. Beady Eye and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds on the other hand...

"It was a shit name, but most band names are shit. Look at Beady Eye - shit fucking name."
Haha

Imagine what I'd have been like after 20."

Did anyone put up scans from them on the cover last week? Or was it this week?
