Rock Star Liam Gallagher Shows Us How To Live Forever

Even more irrelevant than the Grammys are the Brits, the annual ceremony where British people give even less prestigious awards to horrible pop bands that are even less talented, and more quickly forgotten than the ones that get all the worthless chintzy awards here in America.
No awards show, not even a second-rate British wannabe, would be complete without its shocking YouTube moment, and this year, the Brits tapped none other than Liam Gallagher of Oasis to drop the jaws like a white Kanye West.
Oasis’ classic 1995 album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory took an award for the best “Album of 30 Years,” beating out Coldplay’s A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Dido’s No Angel, Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms (worthy contender #1), Duffy’s (completely worthless) Rockferry (vomit), Keane’s Hopes And Fears (overrated), Phil Collins’ No Jacket Required (worthy contender #2), Sade’s Diamond Life (worthy contender #3), and The Verve’s Urban Hymns (of course).
Liam Gallagher, representing the band alone and clearly coked out of his head, in the most efficient display of assholism we’ve seen in quite some time, swiftly did the following in lieu of an acceptance speech: 1) Thanked bandmates Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Paul McGuigan, and Alan White, excluding his partner and brother Noel (the album’s producer and primary songwriter), 2) Thanked “the best fucking fans in the world,” which was completely bleeped, and 3) Threw both the microphone and Brit award into the crowd before walking off. His parting words: “Live forever.”
Liam’s performance was surely every bit as expected as Kanye’s most recent stage-crash, yet exponentially more entertaining, and basically badass. Oasis hasn’t released a good album since 1997, but since their implosion, we have been mourning the diminished presence of Rock’s last good old fashioned insufferable prick stars.
So fucking badass. That dude is rock star personified. Total asshole prick cokehead, but that was fucking awesome.
I think he was just being the usual prick. If only he made some good music, I’d back him up. But no. To me, he will always be Oasis’ annoying voice.
that wasn’t entertaining or badass, that was lame and retarded. he’s a foppish cunt loser. i hope he goes broke and dies of dick cancer, tinted circular glasses wearing ass-hat.
Seriously? This deserves your accolades and praise? Yeah…no.
Cocaine crazy
I agree with Fernando, and the only thing cool about this is that he threw the award into the crowd. Other than that… Kanye had one of the best celebrity outbursts of all time, of all time! Aside from spawning that atrocious meme, it was so much fucking better.
Yeah, this one can’t even go meme. Kind of sad, really. Doing shit like this is the only way for Liam to get noticed right now.
Rock N’ Roll, that’s it. I do think this is great, I do think he’s an asshole and I do aplaude that he doesn’t have that “politically correct” persona that every PR agent would dream of. He’s a cokehead and he doesn’t give a fuck. He doesn’t give a fuck about anything or anyone, and that’s fucking Rock N’ Roll. Not Bono trying to save the world, or Chris Martin crying for making trade fair, all from their rockstar’s mansions. Those are hypocritical assholes, the kind I do not respect. Thank you and good night. “Live Forever”
Well, that’s bullshit, ’cause when you’re on drugs it is actually hard to give a shit, not the other way around. Due to that fact, there’s no reason to be impressed by his attitude, or behavior.
BTW, why weren’t Radiohead nominated?
I don’t see what was so amazing about that. I didn’t expect him to even mention his brother, I don’t think anyone did, and chucking the award into the crowd? Any fucker can do that. This doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the Kanye incident, which was probably the fuck funniest thing to ever happen at an awards ceremony. Gallagher’s just a douchebag, the only funny thing there was peter kay at the end.
The precise reason this is so good is because it’s not fucking meme fodder. The fact that that’s actually a standard these intarweb babies are holding shit to drives me fucking bonkers.
It’s just an incorrigible cokehead asshole being himself, not stage-crashing, waving his arms around and yelling about some stupid shit. It’s raw, Johnny Rotten fuck you attitude and I absolutely love it. You want to dismantle the Grammys, or at least make ‘em interesting? Make an 8-ball the centerpiece of every table in the room and demand that people speak their minds onstage. Don’t let them suck the labels’ dicks, rattling off no-name A&R people and praising Jimmy Iovine as the god of all creation.
After douching out on Taylor Swift, Kanye apologized and disappeared until an opportunity arose for him to suck the tit of a charity single and make himself look good (which he didn’t). Don’t expect any of that from this prick. He’s real. Hate, love, worship or despise him, he’s not your fucking meme bait, and that’s what kicks ass.
agreed, though of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, and we don’t plan to win everyone over with each and every one of ours all around here. so if you guys totally disagree with us on this, that’s cool. only thing i would add is that it reminds me of the time that rock stars were known for making asses out of themselves, wrecking organized ceremonies, getting in fistfights over completely absurd, irrelevant perceived slights and such. johnny brought up johnny rotten… that dude had some great interviews. is it impressive? not necessarily. but it’s refreshing. hinder wouldn’t have the balls to disrespect the machine that’s grinding away at trying to make everyone think they’re relevant.
I agree, there are no more rockstars like him who simply don’t give a fuck. Everyone is doing everything as they’re told, back in the day there was Motley Crue, Sex Pistols , Axl Rose, Keith Richards etc they didn’t give a fuck about all that music industry the same was with Oasis. That’s pure rock n’ roll doing what you want, no matter consequences. Bands like Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Hinder only pretend to be “bad-ass” but are doing nothing to prove they’re real worthy apart from being heavy tattooed. None of them would ever had balls to release “One in the Million” or pulling out Liam stuff or some Motley Crue because it could damage their “career” if they ever had one.

Wow he is looking old. So old, he would have fit right in with The Who at Super Bowl halftime.
Does he truly not give a fuck or is he just merely trying to be controversial? Either way he’s got balls. That was truly a rock star move. I don’t really like him all that much, but ya gotta appreciate that.
I think Diamond Dave upstaging Eddie Van Halen at the MTV awards show that killed the first reunion was more ballsy (Yes, I’m showing my age). He did his thing with the band onstage, not like the coward Liam did. Would have been better if Noel was there to give him a shot in the mouth, that would have been rock-n-roll!!
No, that was just selfish and shitty and grasping at limelight. David Lee Roth is a spotlight-obsessed dick. In a bad way.
But the schtick is tired and that’s about what he’s reduced himself to hence my finding this a waste of space. And tired = irrelevant and devoid of being oh so rock and roll. Bored now. Maybe he should try being less of a fucktard. Now THAT would be refreshing.
I didn’t know that being “Rock N’ Roll” was being a fucking attention-whoring, tired cliché – I thought it was exactly the opposite. “Live Forever”? It’s fresh alright, fresh as the 90’s. He cares too much for his stupid asshole image to me. I don’t support the “industry” either, but that shit was on Paris Hilton “shock” level.
Paris Hilton could never pull that shit off.
i’ll take diamond dave over that dork hagar any day of the fucking week.
Agreed Dave is so much better frontman than that Hagar guy.
Paris Hilton really ? She wouldn’t ever do something like that along with all those “controversial” “stars” who are music industry breast suckers and won’t be up to do something anti-establishment. You have to have huge balls to do something like that and that’s a shame only a few guys have balls to to pull that off.
When did this come to a fight between Hagar and Roth? Hagar’s a tequila-slinging douche.
I agree with you guys, that was way style. The Kanye incident was so lame, if it were a horse it would have been shot. Right there on the track. No screen or anything.
Gallagher (both L and N) annoy the bejesus out of me so I’m last to side with them, but what choice did I have, the Kanye/Swift Media Expedition or the Gallagher Good OldFashion Award Toss. There was no contest. The only reason I’m mad at you AQ is you made me take their side…. so to bring everything back to Duff & Slash, how about their MTV Award appearance.
VIVA LONGEVITY!
Viva Felyne!
I saw your Shaun White article on my Google News headliner page in the Sports section. Does the Google love give you tingles?
Wow…. I had no idea, goddamn. Awesome. Yes it does.
Oh damn. I had taken a screenshot but when I attempted to email it to you, your email said something rather nasty about my email’s mother, and so my email got a bit upset and threw your email with the pretty screenshot attachment in the cute little trash bin, followed by a gallon of gasoline and a match and burned the fucker down. Great sadness, would have been a pic that could have assisted with those tingles. Bugger.
hm. johnnyfirecloud@antiquiet.com
i still love watching this video, especially the part where afterwards the fat guy basically calls him a dickhead in british.
Haha…You know…I liked Oasis about two albums in then they started to believe their own hype, but I have to admit that was pretty sweet…Much respect for that!
