Klassisk intervju med bröderna Gallagher från 2005, Q Magazine

"By 2:30am the bar is closing but we are allowed to take many of its contents into the hotel lounge. The nice sofas affect the mood: the Gallaghers seem to decide I am their grandpa. Noel rubs my back. Liam, in a drunk, conspiratorial baritone, leans in close and says that if I ever need anyone ever he will be there for me for the rest of my life. Then he starts licking my eyes. Noel says that whatever I have done to his brother, he needs the transformation to be permanent and I am to join the Oasis tour as his personal guru.

BY 4AM INTERVIEW conditions have deteriorated even further and Liam is now addressing me as "Colin". But there is still much to learn from observing the brothers interacting while disabled by fine wines and ale. Liam makes his brother cry with laughter by telling a joke and sealing with punchline with a fart. Noel proclaims Liam's genius and asks him to repeat the gag. Instead Liam steals my mobile phone and walks off (a day later, it transpires he has woken my girlfriend in the early hours to ask what colour knickers she is wearing)."
