writing exercise idea: pretend you're charles dickens and you get paid by the word. see where that mindset takes you. stop being a verbal cheapskate. spend words lavishly

APRIL 2001 // 📸 SCARLET PAGE archive 1archive 2

This shot was one of many taken for a Revolver magazine piece on the upcoming 2001 U.S. Tour Of Brotherly Love, featuring The Black Crowes, Oasis and Spacehog. The name of the tour was an ironic nod to the fact that, among its members, each band contained a pair of brothers who were (are!) infamous for fighting both in and out of public. On the day of the shoot, The Black Crowes were playing Scala [King's Cross, London] in the evening. The Gallagher boys were there to watch them, and I literally had only the unglamorous corridors of the venue (complete with empty beer cans and cigarette butts) in which to conjure up a makeshift “studio” space – very Rock ‘n’ Roll! Despite such limitations, this shoot of the brothers Robinson and Gallagher produced some of what were to become my favourite images of Liam and Noel. It’s amazing how you can start with a tatty and dreary environment and end up with something that looks like it’s been taken in a professional studio. It’s a case of extremes – a fitting description of the brothers themselves!

“His first words, delivered in a voice of fury and demand, were: ‘Is it all right for me to stand here? All right for me to come to my own gig, is it?’ Noel, initially perplexed by his brother’s angry tone of voice, shrugged his shoulders. Sure. No problem. ‘ ‘All right for me to be at my own gig, is it?’ Liam challenged again. ‘Of course it is’, Noel testily replied… and shook his head af if to say, you dick, and stepped away to the dressing room. ‘That’s it’, Liam shouted at his brother’s back, ‘fuck off somewhere else, you cunt… And do you know, he (Noel) only called me last night beause my ma asked him to. That was the only fucking reason. He doesn’t care about me.”
