A new Oasis book promises to lift the lid on some of Liam and Noel Gallagher's best quotes.

Mad For It: The Wit & Wisdom of the Gallaghers includes some of the brothers and former bandmates most unforgettable lines.

Choice quotes include the Gallaghers' comments on Britpop rivals Blur, the credit crunch and the possibility of life on other planets.

There are also examples of the brothers' own personal troubles, including Noel's comment about Liam: “He’s rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy.

“He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

Mad For It: The Wit & Wisdom of the Gallaghers has been compiled by music journalist and NME Associate Editor Paul Stokes. It is available now priced £8.99.
