Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher’s feud with Blur during the Britpop era came to be one of the genre’s defining characteristics over the years. But nowadays Oasis’ elder Gallagher brother had reconciled with his rival Damon Albarn and the pair have even collaborated on Gorillaz We Got The Power.
In an interview with GQ last year, Liam spoke out about what really went on behind-the-scenes in Blur vs. Oasis.
His feelings about their former nemeses having mellowed out with time, he said: “I’m not too keen on the Gorillaz. When Blur got back together I was glad that it happened.
“As you get older you think, ‘Ah remember them? That was a good little spar we had.’
“It’s like boxers, innit,”(sic) he added. “It’s like we’re two boxers that are still alive.”

The Oasis legend went on to say he wasn’t the one who fuelled the feud with Damon’s Blur back in the day, putting the blame on Noel.
“I never really had a big problem with them anyway,” he explained. “That was Noel.
“They were just f***ing posh boys. That bass player [Alex James] f***in’ drinkin’ his red wine onstage. F**k off!” he exclaimed.
Asked why and how, if Noel had been the one with issues with Blur, the elder Gallagher was now friends with Damon, Liam replied: “Well Noel would do anything for a photograph, won’t he? Trying to break the Internet.”
He also shared his thoughts on a handful of Blur’s songs, saying Girls & Boys can “f**k off”.
“I’ll have Beetlebum,” he continued. “Beetlebum is a tune. The rest of ‘em? I’m on not into.”
In a 2018 interview with Q Magazine, Noel gave a glimpse into his seemingly unlikely friendship with the Blur frontman.
“I really love working and hanging out with that mob,” he said. “Not just Damon, but all his people.”

“It turned out we had a lot of mutual friends and they’re all cool as f***k.
“If you’d told my younger self that he’d done one day be singing on a record by Damon Albarn he would have laughed and probably said, ‘If either of you are still going it’ll be a f***ing miracle – a sick joke that will fascinate speccy Guardian-reading journalists for years,’” the Oasis star quipped.
There is one thing Liam and Noel definitely share the same opinion on, however: Beetlebum.
Noel told the publication it was his favourite song of Albarn’s, saying: “When I heard it for the first time I did think, s**t, I wish I’d written that.
Elsewhere, Blur star Damon previously opened up about his relationship with Noel in an interview with The Sun.
“We don’t talk about our past, we talk about our present,” he said.
“I value my friendship with Noel because he is one of the only people who went through what I did in the ‘90s.”
While relations between Oasis and Blur might have settled down nowadays, those between Liam and Noel don’t appear to be showing any signs of improving since the band split in 2009 amid their ongoing spats.
