Yeah Liam is exactly how you see him,he's all heart and that's amazing 'cause he's been able to stay true to himself despite being in the public eye for all these years
Noel has got a far more complex and interesting personality and now I'm going to write what I think about it,I'll probably come up with a post so long that half of you won't even start reading it,while the other half will and will think that I'm some kind of pshycotic fangirl or something,but anyway
Noel's a loner as the OP mentions,he strikes me as a guy who likes to party and all that shit,but who also LIKES,not doesn't mind,likes being on his own thinking about nothing
And now,this is only my opinion,and what I'm going to say is just based on my impression 'cause I obviously don't know him,but to me he seems the kind of introverted guy who acts like a grumpy old fucker because he's not properly able to show what he feels,or to say it better he's kind of shy of showing what he feels,take the interviews when he's asked about his dad for example,he'd answer the questions,but he rarely lets himself go and tells what it was really like for him at the time
If you read Paul's book both him and Peggy say that he'd lock himself in his bedroom and just played the guitar,and that he'd always keep things for himself without saying anything to anybody,while Liam would do things to draw people's attenction,so their different characters probably developed during those years and are partly attributable to what used to happen and how differently they used to react
On his ego,I think we should not forget that in Oasis early years they were both heavily into drugs,and while Liam was probably born to be in the spotlight and to be a star,and that's why he's so great as a frontman,Noel was born to be the engine and the guy staying at the back,but coke probably boosted his confidence,plus,being the clever guy he is,he probably knew the "lad" attitude would have gained them more success and media coverage,but I don't think their egos are THAT big
Liam has got a lot of self-belief,we can call it ego if you want,especially when on stage,but it's weirdly not annoying in the slightest,he acts in a way that makes it look cool,I mean,I never looked at him thinking "what an arrogant prick",I don't know how to describe it,but I also think he knew (and probably still knows) Noel was a part (you decide how big 'cause I don't want to start a war) in his success and always used to look up at him,as all the younger brothers do
Noel on the other hand,while might look arrogant and pretentious,has made some humble comments over the years,he often mentions how some guys (like Weller) are leagues above him,how he's not the best as a guitarist,singer or musician,how he thinks Sara definitely knew who he was when they met 'cause if she didn't she wouldn't have looked twice at him as she's beautiful and he's not etc.
He knows what he's good act and he's not shy to admit it,but he also knows what he's not good at and he's not shy to admit it either
And anyway nowadays most of the times in interviews he's just joking over people's perception of his ego,which is a thing Liam does too to a smallest extent
On meeting fans,everybody has his good and bad days,but the general opinion is that Liam's way nicer and I guess that as I haven't met them I have to accept it
I'm really happy to see Liam taking his time to stop and chat with fans,people often says he seems genuinely interesting when they talk to him which is amazing,I think he's just more of a people's person than Noel
Said that,I'm enough good as a stalker to know Noel can be as nice as Liam to his fans,as Twitter and Instagram (and probably this board too) are full of pictures and stories about him being cool with people,so you know he's moody and if you catch him on a bad day he's probably not going to be the nicest guy but he's not that much of a c unt after all,the simple fact that he comes out before every soundcheck and sometimes invites people to watch it and all that shows that he cares at least a little bit,and we as fans should appreciate both for that 'cause I don't think everybody in the music businness does it

All that doesn't take anything away from the fact that while Liam as I've already said he's just how you see him and doesn't give a fuck about the press opinion of him,Noel's a clever businnessman and knows really well how to play the game and how to manipulate the media,even though I think nowadays most of the times he just says the first thing that pops in his head 'cause he considers himself to be in a ludicrous situation when interviewed and he's probably had enough of the whole thing
And last (if you've made it to this point you're a legend!) the "Hitler" thing...he obviously likes to have everything under control,and when I say everything I mean EVERY FUCKING THING,he's called The Chief for a reason,but that's probably what took the band this far
When they started he was the only one with some kind of experience in the music businness,and although I doubt he knew they would have got to Knebworth at some point,he probably had a clear idea of how to make it in the music world,and it didn't end up badly for them at all
Okay,this is enough now

Nothing special actually. Noel came outside after he had the interview for 3FM in Melkweg after soundcheck.
I got his autograph on my NGHFB album cover. He didn't say a word even to the guy next to me when he said "thanks for coming".

Let It🩸 is gonna laugh again, but Liam was completely opposite. It was nice surprise.

But then again, it's just my experience.

What about Tom Brady?

You mean uncomfortable

Great point....

I'm not gay, I just psychoanalyze Tom Brady in my free time. You know, wonder what kind of kisser Tom Brady is - I bet he kisses like how he is on the field, aggressive and dominant.



God bless.

Noel's a miserable bastard who is so lazy arsed and insecure about success that he can't be bothered to get out of his comfort zone musically, while Liam's pretty jovial to his fans in comparison but terrible with women, drink and drugs and he too is a lazy arse who can't be bothered to get out of his comfort zone musically.

Sums the forum up!

I've had the chance to kick it with them post shows, and of the two, I'd definitely say Noel was the more approachable of the two. He sat down and talked with me and my friends, genuinely showed interest in what we were talking about, and of course threw his opinions into the mix.

Liam, on the other hand, always seemed to come off as a bit cagey. He seemed more relaxed when it was a smaller group of people around, but I've also (somewhat) witnessed him being outright rude, too.
