Dunno how old this is but I've only just read it
Andy Bell has spoken out about Noel Gallagher’s comments regarding the end of Oasis, claiming his version of events are ‘bollocks’.
The Beady Eye guitarist was asked about Noel’s comments in an interview with The Japan Times and gave a very different account of what happened back in 2009 saying that Noel lied about what happened in Paris during last months press conference.
Bell said that Noel’s comments were ‘bollocks’ adding: “He lied about a lot of things. The argument about Pretty Green was lies, what he said about V Festival and the fake laryngitis was lies …” He suddenly holds back. “I don’t know, maybe he’s convinced that’s the truth. I don’t know what goes on in his head. I know him, so I’m not disappointed. That’s what he’s like. I know how he spins the press. He’s used the press for years. Interviews and press are secondary for us, that’s his life.
“That’s just Noel being Noel. All that sh-t … there were three of us in that room, and I’m telling you it was nothing to do with Pretty Green. I’m not going to add more fuel to the fire. But I’ve ended up in a band with Liam, Gem, Chris, with the same management, road crew… But at the same time, I wish him all the best. I want him to be happy.”
He also said that Noel was manipulative when it came to press during Oasis saying:”Noel did all the press and it was always from his point of view. He’d make personal opinions about the band members that were not good for the whole band; it was just what he thought. We never got a say. People had 10 years of Noel’s opinions as if they were Oasis’. And that’s where it’s got us, where it’s as if the only one to expect something decent from is Noel. Liam has got valid views. And now he gets to air them.”
