June 15, 2005 outside of the Koolhaus in Toronto before the private Oasis gig sponsored by Molson. There were only 100 or 200 tickets to be won through cases of Molson Canadian. Needless to say, the majority of people in attendance were there for the free food and beer and NOT for Oasis.
My friend (who owns a pub about an hour outside of Toronto) begged his Molson sales rep for tickets. The day before the show we got the call that he (unbelievably) had secured a pair of passes to the show.
We were standing outside waiting for the venue to open when Liam walked from the tour bus to the front entrance. He stopped to sign a few autographs (he signed my pass). It was at this point when I realized this would likely be my only opportunity to ever speak to the man. I wanted to speak to him sensibly, but also say something that made it obvious I was a huge Oasis fan. Now, knowing that a couple of nights earlier Liam had lost his voice and walked off stage at some festival in Germany, I decided to go for it.
Bampot: Liam, massive fan, love the new album, 'Love Like A Bomb' is brilliant.
Liam: Cheers, we've got loads more coming for the next album too. (Finishes signing my pass).
Bampot: Thank you so much. I hope your throat feels better tonight. (
)
Liam: Whatcha on about?
Bampot: I mean, I know you lost your voice the other night in Germany and had to walk off...
Liam: What, you think I walk off stage cos it's a fun thing to do? Nah, I walk off stage when me throat goes you silly cunt. (Enters venue)
Needless to say I was shell shocked.
However, we were front row (and there was no barrier at this small club) so I was basically 3 feet in front of Liam for the entire show. He saw throughout the gig that I was obviously a massive fan and not a cunt.
Had a beer after the gig with Phil Smith and Jason Rhodes when Liam strolled over. He came right up to me, gave me a high five handshake and said "yer alright mate, yer alright."
Met Noel briefly and then left. What a night.
