With their criss-crossing solo careers, Twitter jibes and constant slandering of each other in interviews, Noel and Liam Gallagher have constantly been at odds with each other since Oasis split in 2009. But an old interview with MTV’s 120 Minutes from 1994, oddly hosted by Miles Hunt of grebo stars The Wonder Stuff, shows that once upon a time Liam was more than happy to welcome his older brother into the band.
The group that became Oasis were initially a four-piece called The Rain, but their evolution into one of the defining British guitar bands of their generation was sparked when Noel joined as their fifth member. As it happened, the ex-Inspiral Carpets roadie had an arsenal of huge rock’n’roll anthems up his sleeve and, accordingly, made it be known that he was taking over songwriting duties. No-one stood in his way.
