I thought Liam was the one who had inherited all the Gallagher pompous ego, but apparently there was plenty leftover for Noel! In an interview for the Sun, Noel revealed the speech he is ready to deliver at the Heaven gates:
‘I’d say, ‘You’ve heard Don’t Look Back In Anger?’, and they’d say, ‘Of course’. I’d say, ‘Look it’s me, let us in. I can play you a tune. I robbed some stuff, I took a lot of drugs, but I’m all right’.’
So far, nothing terrible, just the pretentious idea he could entertain God himself with some of his songs, and the admittance he robbed… the Beatles?
Still according to the Sun, Noel also declared at last year’s NME awards: ‘I accept I am a genius, just like God’, a sentence that could be a sort of bid over John Lennon’s famous comparison between the Beatles and Jesus, but honestly, who is taking this stuff seriously?
Between these two Gallagher brothers, there is enough material to write a very entertaining movie, or musical comedy with God singing ‘As Long As They've Got Cigarettes in Hell’.
