Noel Gallagher: Bono Can Outdrink He and Morrissey
Leave it to Noel Gallagher to humoursly let us in on the drinking habits of some of music’s most iconic figures. During an interview with Noisey, Gallagher was asked who could drink more: Morrissey, Bono (U2), or Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream.)
After revealing that Gillespie doesn’t drink anymore, Gallagher gave us the goods on what it’d be like to spend a night on the bottle with Bono and Morrissey.
“Bono, hands down,” said Gallagher initially when asked who out of them all can drink the most. “[Morrissey] can drink… [he] doesn’t really get drunk though – he remains equally as vicious from the fucking minute you meet him until seven hours later. I lighten up once I’ve had a drink. Not Morrissey. (BIG surprise!)
“But Bono, he is really fucking brilliant company,” concluded Gallagher. “I’ve been drinking with him, and I’ve been leaving a bar at 6 in the morning and he’s on the bar singing opera. And he’s got a fucking gig the following night with 70,000 people. And I’m being escorted out like James Brown – fucking pissed.”
Hey, remember when The Edge fell off the stage during U2’s tour opener last week? That was good times!
