About Me

What can I say that hasn't already been said?
I'm me, yer you.
I'm in the greatest fuckin' rock band in the WORLD--no doubt about it. Anyone who doubts it, well, go to hell, mate. That's all I can say.
"Lead vocalist for Rock 'n Roll band, Oasis. Famous for his erratic behaviour, distinctive singing style and abrasive attitude. Although his brother Noel Gallagher writes the majority of the band's songs, in recent years Liam has increasingly developed himself as a songwriter, and has contributed songs for the most recent albums of the band.
Despite differing opinions on his antics, Liam was one of the figureheads of the britpop movement in the 1990s and remains one of the most recognisable and charismatic characters in modern British music."
"Liam is well known for his original style of singing and Liam's voice in the Oasis tracks is instantly recognisable. Noel has hinted that he uses certain words regularly in his songs because of the way Liam pronounces them when he sings. For example, Noel has included the word 'shine' in several songs because Liam famously sings it as 'Sheee-yienn-ah' (probably influenced in part by John Lennon's protracted, nasal phrasing on words such as "shiiiine" in the Beatles song "Rain" and John Lennon's song "Instant Karma") "We all shiiiiine on" Noel jokes that Liam now does this all the time, imitating Liam phoning him up and asking "D'yer wanna go for a piiiiiint-ah?"
Liam's stage presence has also been both praised and derided, with some commentators stating that he obviously copies the styles of Ian Brown and Richard Ashcroft (Ashcroft is one of Liam's best friends). He is famed for going against rock and roll tradition by rarely touching the microphone or its stand. Instead, he stands, hands behind back, leaning towards the microphone in the same way that Brown and Ashcroft do. This recognisable singing pose has been suggested by some as a main reason for his distinctive vocals, which have become something of an Oasis trademark."
Seems about accurate--don't ya think?
