Liam Gallagher and John Squire, despite being two of the best musicians of the modern age, have been victims of their own monumental success. Be Here Now and Standing on the Shoulder of Giants were slagged off for not matching the lofty heights of Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory. Second Coming was dismissed for notContinue reading “Entry #43 – Liam Gallagher & John Squire (a.k.a Bugger it, I should’ve called this Shrug of the Shoulders of Giants!)”
