“It’s the delivery or the tone of his voice and the attitude. I don’t have the same attitude as him,” the rocker admitted. “Liam’s is a shot of tequila, right, and mine’s half a Guinness. Mine’s half a Guinness on a Tuesday. It’s alright. Liam’s is ten shots of tequila on a fucking Friday night.”
Liam, for his part, has been responding to fan’s tweets about a rumored reunion. Earlier this month he told one Oasis fan that they’d be “getting a lot next year.” When another fan commented that the Manchester location hosting Oasis’ rumored shows was “a terrible venue,” Gallagher responded, “See you down the front you big fanny.” In a separate tweet, Liam declared he “by no means did like that phrase FORMER” — an interesting statement from the singer often referred to as “former Oasis frontman.”

Oasis’ last concert took place on Aug. 22, 2009 at the V Festival in Staffordshire, England. The infamously acrimonious relationship between Liam and Noel finally hit a boiling point, and the latter rocker officially quit the band shortly before their next scheduled gig.
“We were getting pissed and fighting, and then [it was] me going, ‘Fuck it, I’m going home. Fuck off!’” Noel later recalled, including that in hindsight he wished the band had ended with an onstage battle.
