‘No kinky saucepot shenanigans!’: Liam Gallagher and John Squire on their psychedelic resurrection


The Oasis frontman and Stone Roses guitarist have made a bracing album together and are eyeing a No 1 single – so why is Liam still so hung up about his brother?

Launched with the recent psychedelia-tinged single Just Another Rainbow, this is a marriage of two of the most celebrated members of Manchester’s music scene: John Squire, the still-startlingly talented guitarist of the Stone Roses, and Liam Gallagher, the Oasis frontman whose swagger defined the optimism and hedonism of the 1990s. Text messages flew back and forth; Squire sent demos of his works in progress, while Gallagher peppered him with YouTube videos of other artists, including Sex Pistols, Jimi Hendrix, Faces – and the Bee Gees. Greg Kurstin produced and played bass and piano; he and Squire bonded over Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s Déjà Vu, Paul McCartney and the Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer, Mitch Mitchell.
