Though Liam is not quite fond of Robert Smith and co, his brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel has previously teamed up with the ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ singer on a remix of ‘Pretty Boy’ from his The High Flying Birds album ‘Council Skies‘.
Speaking to NME about how the collaboration came to be, Noel shared: “Because the song [‘Pretty Boy’] sounds like The Cure I was like, ‘Does Robert Smith do remixes?’ I got hold of his email, the first line was, ‘Hi Robert, it’s Noel Gallagher’. I thought at that point he’d go, ‘Fuck that c**t’. He emailed back with ‘Send me the track’. I did and fuck me – if I thought it sounded like The Cure when it went, it certainly did when it came back!
“It wasn’t until I played it to a few people when someone said, ‘That’s one of Oasis, one of The Smiths and one of The Cure on the same fucking track’ and I was like, ‘That’s far out! What a mad idea!’ I’d never met him but I’ve been such an admirer of his tunes since ‘Boys Don’t Cry’.”
Noel also opened up about the moment he met Smith and shared: “When I eventually met him, I told him I remember buying their singles album ‘Standing On The Beach, Staring At The Sea’ at HMV in Manchester.
“When I told people they were like, ‘You like The Cure?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, just because you like The Cure doesn’t mean you have to fucking wear lipstick!’ Do you know what I mean? But I have subsequently met him and he’s a very funny man. He’s very funny on email too, actually.”
In other news, Liam recently rescinded his claims that Oasis are currently recording a new album, telling fans “it was a laugh”.
