They're calling it "The Troggs Tapes Of The '90s" - Noel & Liam indulging in a spot of G&T-stoked, sibling-on-sibling bickerage, and this is the full transcript..... The scene: the Forte Crest Hotel, Glasgow, around midnight on April 7, 1994. The brothers Gallagher, Q magazine's John Harris and a couple of "associates" are scattered around a twin room, eager to discuss all manner of topics: Oasis' debut single Supersonic, their creditable self-belief, and a snowballing reputation for delinquency, founded on a spate of incidents that began when all of them (apart from Noel) where edjected from a ferry bound for Holland. The interview has been transferred to vinyl & CD (thanks to indie label Fierce Panda) as "Wibbling Rivalry" achieved the highest recorded chart position for an interview record (Number 52, fyi).

From the CD sleeve: Springtime, Scottish style. Too much G&T. Road fever. Midnight in a disinfected hotel: the two brothers at the core of the most hell-ride rock'n'roll band in the world, a few associates and a journalist's tape recorder. The rest passed in a haze of shouting, swearing, smoking, and anxious televisions teetering on the brink of being hurled from windows. Supersonic. Simple as. Noel's Track...A lot of swearing and cussing. Liam's Track...Even more swearing and cussing. Fourteen minutes of verbal mayhem Thanks to: the greatest rock'n'roll band in Britain.

Q: How do you feel about the fact that, already, Oasis have attracted a reputation for being, er, rock'n'roll animals?

Liam: I'm into it, me. I'm into it, but at the end of the day, like he says, I go home and get a clip off me mam. Know what I mean, and I do. She clips me 'round the head and goes, "What are you like, you little tinker?".

Q: Did you get a clip after Amsterdam?

Liam: Oh yeah, I get it all the time. You know what I mean, she looks at me and goes, "You fuckin' daft bastard."

Noel: It's not a, it's a reputation, right, that I... Liam : I like the way it's bubbling up. It's reminding me of the Roses all over again. I like that, me. I want to get 2000 people in a nice fuckin' gaff who are there to see you, not fuckin' go... Noel: No, no, no, eeyare.

Liam: I want Blur to go, yeah, man, I'm a fucking...

Noel: Woah. eeyare. Hang on a minute. That's not what he's on about.

Liam: He is.

Noel: He's on about a reputation, about getting thrown off fuckin' ferries. Liam: Yeah, but that's part of it, that's what...

Q: How do you feel about the fact that that's what's spoken of them. Or it was, sort of...

Noel: The thing about getting thrown off ferries - blah, blah, blah - and getting deported is summat that I'm not proud about because...

Liam: Well I am, la.

Noel: Yeah, alright. Well if you're, right, well if you're, right, well if, if you're proud about getting thrown off ferries, then why don't you go and support West Ham and get the fuck out of my band and go and be a football hooligan, right? Coz we're musicians, right? We're not football hooligans. Liam: You're only gutted coz you was in bed fuckin' reading your fuckin' books...

Noel: No, not at all. Listen. No, listen. He says, right... Here's a quote for you from my manager, Marcus Russell, right...

Liam: He's a fuckin'...'nother fuckin'...

Noel: Shut up, you dick. Right, he gets off the ferry after getting fuckin' deported. I'm left in Amsterdam with me dick out like a fuckin' spare prick at a fuckin' wedding...

Liam: It was a bad move, you know...

Noel: Shut up! Shut up! Right, he gets off the ferry and Marcus says, "What are you fuckin' doing?", you know, "What the fuck is going..."

Liam: (mocking Noel) What the fuh, wha' the fuh, wha' fuh....(?unintelligible?)

Noel: "What are you doing...", and all that, and he says, right, "These lot think it's rock'n'roll to get thrown off a ferry...to get..." Liam: No I don't. Noel: Shut up. These lot think it's rock'n'roll to get thrown off... Liam: I don't.

Noel: Shut the fuck up, man! These lot think...(laughing in background)...I'm gonna have to say this part, are you gonna shut up?! (laughing) These lot think it's rock'n'roll to get thrown off a ferry, right, to come into hotel foyers to get everybody at it an to go - shut up! - to start thinking, "Hey, it's rock 'n' roll." Do you know what my manager said to him? He said, "Nah. Rock'n'roll is going to Amsterdam, doing your gig, playing your music, that's rock 'n' roll, right... and coming back and saying you blew 'em away." Not getting thrown off the ferry like some fuckin' scouse schlepper with your fuckin'...with...being handcuffed. That's football hooliganism...

Liam: No it isn't...

Noel: ...and I won't stand for it Liam: No it isn't...

Noel: And listen, they all got fined a thousand pounds each.

Liam: We didn't at all.

Noel: Yes you fuckin' did.

Liam: You can stick your thousands pounds right up yer fuckin’ arse 'till it comes out your fuckin' big toe.

(Noel retires to the toilet)

Q: You're not up for being seen as bad lads, are you?

Liam: No, I'm not up for, no, no, I'm not, I'm not up for being...

Noel: (from bathroom) He's not a bad lad! He's a fucking'...you know what I mean, he's like...

Liam: Shut the fuck up....fuckin'...shut up!...I'm not up for being seen as a bad lad, I'm just up for being seen as me. And what happened on that boat, right, is we got, had a few drinks and that's because I like drinking. And I love it. I'm into it.

Noel: (From bathroom) You can't drink, you dickhead! Liam: Who can't drink? Well fuckin' where the fuck did it go? It went right in there, and I dealt with it.

Noel: (Still in bathroom) Eeyare! Wooah!

Liam: Hey, shut up! Shut the fuck up! Now, listen, right, now listen, right. And I'm not, I'm not saying, right, I'm not saying I'm proud of what happened, but...that is what happened. That's what occured on that night. And it's like what fuckin' Bobby Gillespie said. He said, "I'm sick of all these fuckin' bands who, who ain't got, who don't get in situations and that no more." The last band that did it was the Pistols, and that, and they'd go out and, like, summat would happen. (flushing noise) And that's all it is sir: that's the way we are, or the way I am.

Liam: I always go out and meet some... Noel: That's bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit! Liam: It's not bullshit. It's bullshit in your world, but in my world it's fucking...

Noel: It's bullshit. Nah, it's bullshit. Liam: Shut the fuck up. What you've been ranting on about, right, is bullshit to me.

Noel: If you think rock'n'roll is... if you think rock'n'roll...if you think rock'n'roll is getting arrested and all that...

Liam: Rock'n'roll is about being yourself.

Noel: No it's not...

Liam: And I went on that fuckin' boat, I had a drink, I had too much beer and I got in a fight and that was it. Noel: Rock'n'roll is about music. Music. Music. Music. It's not about you, it's not about me, it's not about Oasis. It's about the songs. Liam: No it isn't. No it isn't. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah...

Noel: It's not, it's not about you.

Liam: What the fuck were the Pistols, then?

Noel: Who's talking about the Sex Pistols?

Liam: They were the best' rock'n'roll band that ever fuckin’ came out. Or one of 'em...one of 'em, mate...one of 'em. Noel: They're not. They're not. They're not. They're not. They made one album.

Q: Would the Stones have done anything without getting arrested and getting people's backs up? Liam: No, would they fuck! No, that's why they were so good! That's why they were so good!

Noel: Of course they were good. (Super-indignant) What? Coz they got arrested! Because the Rolling Stones got arrested they were a great rock'n'roll band? Liam: No...No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Noel: Fuck off! Bullshit! Bullshit! Liam: No, but they had..but they had summat else there.
