In 2006 , it was alleged that Gallagher had a drunken fight with Paul Gascoigne at the Groucho Club which ended with Gallagher setting off a fire extinguisher in Gascoigne 's face . Gallagher has made known his distaste for many non-Brits ' tastes and conventions ( particularly those of Australians and Americans ) . On an early US tour , Gallagher regularly made derisive remarks about Americans , as well as his brother Noel , which led to an ultimatum from the guitarist , who briefly left the band in 1994 . When addressing their muted reception in the States ( especially in comparison with the UK ) , Gallagher said : " Americans want grungy people , stabbing themselves in the head on stage . They get a bright bunch like us , with deodorant on , they do n't get it . " On receiving an award at the 2010 Brit Awards for the best album of the past 30 years , Gallagher swore while he thanked all the former members of Oasis except for his brother . He then dropped the microphone and gave the award to a member of the crowd
