‘I can’t stand his voice’: A tribute to the most biting barbs made by the battling Oasis brothers

There have been some pretty incendiary public family feuds through the decades, but none more infamous than that of Liam and Noel Gallagher, the brothers behind ’90s Britpop band Oasis.

There have been some pretty incendiary public family feuds through the decades, but none more infamous than that of Liam and Noel Gallagher, the brothers behind ’90s Britpop band Oasis. After all, who else can say that they argued with their sibling for 15 minutes about who is more rock ‘n roll during a 1994 interview with NME, the audio of which went on to be released as a single called “Wibbling Rivalry”? The pair have publicly traded barbs for decades, at least until earlier this week when they announced that “the guns have fallen silent” on their 15-year feud for a long-awaited Oasis reunion. So while you continue to strategize about how to nab tickets to next summer’s reunion tour, or while listening to “Don’t Look Back in Anger” on repeat, here’s a look back at some of Noel and Liam’s deepest cuts at each other. Liam to Spin Magazine in 2005: “Noel and I don’t speak to each other. That’s probably best. We see each other, but I’ve got nothing to say to him. He’s got nothing to say to me. We make music and that’s it. Or we have the odd drink together and that’s it. That’s the way I like it.” Noel to Spin Magazine in 2005: “I’ve kind of learnt that instead of arguing stuff out with him and ending up in a fight, I work on his psychology and he’s completely freaked out by me now. He’s actually frightened to death of me… I can read him and I can f—ing play him like a slightly disused arcade game.”
