Liam Gallagher compares tanning with success Liam Gallagher says bands who don't want hit records are like "d**ks" who wear sun cream on holiday.
The former Oasis star wants his new band Beady Eye to be massive all over the world and he thinks musicians who don't want success are as gutless as safety-first holidaymakers.
He angrily said: "It's like people who go on holiday, putting sun cream on. Do you want a tan or what, you d**k? You go on a top holiday somewhere hot and you come back whiter than white. We're made to sound arrogant because of time wasters like that."
Liam's ambition for Beady Eye is for them to be as big as his favourite group The Beatles, and even more popular than his first band Oasis - which he was in with his brother Noel Gallagher.
The Four Letter Word singer told NME magazine: "I want to be as big as The Beatles. F**k being as big as Oasis, man, you know what I mean? I want to be bigger than The Beatles. That's what we're dealing with and whether we do it or not - and we probably won't - but who cares? It's just the name of the game. Yes, we want to sell loads of records, play stadiums and inspire loads of kids all over the universe. Deep down that's what I want to do, but just not yet."
Liam's bandmate Andy Bell shares his lofty ambition and thinks all bands want to match the Fab Four's incredible accomplishments.
The guitarist said: "All bands deep down want to do that. The Strokes, Elbow all of them. If you sat any band in a room and said, 'Do you want to be as big as The Beatles?' they'd all say yes."m.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.php?c_id=1501119&objectid=10716363I thought this was one of his bizarrest rants in a while. And what an odd metaphor. I would just like to say...if I don't wear sunscreen on holiday I look like a lobster. WE DON'T ALL TAN NICELY LIAM!!! lol

Probably why he looks so haggered generally these days especially the first few seconds of the roller video.
Noel is certainly ageing better

I'm surprised Liam would tan at all given that he's full blooded Irish.

I think Noel scrubs up well these days and has gotten better with age, i hear more women say it these days (even my missus finds him more attractive than years ago) I have seen Liam very close up i met him at the pretty green launch in Manchester and had my photo with him, he looked very weathered (rock and roll lifestyle of course) I dont think his current shit haircut helps, i think with a bit more effort Liam will always look cool as fuck but i dont think hes that bothered

As a female IMO Noel does look better nowadays than he did when he did @ the beginning of Oasis. But to be honest that isn't saying much. He was pretty homely in the 90's.
Liam on the other hand was gorgeous. He doesn't look as good now. But he is still better looking than Noel and probably always will be. lol

Liam doesn't need to wear any kind of sun cream because he is always wearing a Pretty Green Parka.

I disagree. I have no idea what happened in the last 3 years, but Liam's face looks really old now. I think Noel has aged much better. Liam looked so young during the DBTT tour, he looks old now, though. I think watching them age is a bit depressing, to be honest.

We must be talking about different Liams... how on earth can some of you think he looks old??? He's close to his forties, his face can't obviously be the same as in 1994 anymore, but he looks completely stunning! I've seen him very close recently as well, and me and my friends are all amazed at how he manages to look this young at his age. Still can't understand how everybody keeps slagging the new hair off, btw. Maybe it's just because I like Brian Jones too much but, however much I've liked almost all of his haircuts, this one is by far the best. Proper 60's rock 'n' roll! Edit: as for the sunscreen stuff, I wouldn't take it seriously. It's Liam, c'mon. It wasn't about the tanning issue, it was just about tearing other bands to shreds

We must be talking about different Liams... how on earth can some of you think he looks old??? I think it's because we (are at least I) are mostly looking to the old video's on YouTube, from the 90's, in which Liam has the best voice and which were obviously Oasis' best gigs. It's a reality check when you see Liam now, cause he looked absolutely stunning in those days! Whereas Noel looked really, really dodgy back then, and has managed to get better-looking over the years (But I really think he doesn't look good anymore in this picture. Seriously what's with his face? And the hair?) He's close to his forties, his face can't obviously be the same as in 1994 anymore, but he looks completely stunning! I've seen him very close recently as well, and me and my friends are all amazed at how he manages to look this young at his age. THIS. C'mon look at his face! To be 40, he looks quite good I think!!

Noel has improved a lot and has aged really well, that's true. But this latest pic of him in LA looks weird, I agree. The hair is dreadful :S
Anyway, I think people is mixing up things here. It's not that Liam looks old, because he certainly doesn't, it's just that he IS old : ) (meaning he's ageing, which is inevitable, none of us can be in our twenties forever!).

What i meant was kinda what NL4E said, its just the past few years hes really aged but within the context of his age then yes he looks great for pushing 40, its just that he always looked youthful but i was quite surprised with the close up of the roller vid (granted he was freezing his knackers off outside)
Both Liam and Noel have got their own great iconic look, when i was at school most of the lads just wanted to look Liam, i certainly was in awe of how good looking and cool he looked.
To summarise, i think he needs a haircut
