Liam Gallagher is no stranger to baring his soul and the former Oasis member is continuing his quest to be the most outspoken man in rock with his upcoming documentary Liam Gallagher: As It Was. Altitude Films has dropped the first trailer for the film, which showcases Gallagher preparing to perform a solo show in Manchester.
Im not doing this to be more famous, Im fucking famous enough you know what I mean, says Gallagher in a voiceover as footage of him staring at a massive arena stage plays in the background. Im not doing it for the money. I joined a band because I love music. I know how fucking great I am, and I know how shit I am.
He continues, Its part of fucking staying alive man; being here, not being a casualty. Not letting the bastards get you down when all the bastards who have been sitting there over the last 10 years, Ah, hes definitely going to be dead now, hes going to blow his fucking brains out or have a drug overdose. Theyve got all those press headlines waiting, but I dont think its gonna happen lads. Im gonna stick it out.

Gallagher confirmed the completion of the film, directed by Charlie Lightening and Gavin Fitzgerald, in February, calling it mega well done. Altitude describes the documentary as an honest and emotional story of how one of the most electrifying rock n roll frontmen went from the dizzying heights of his champagne supernova years in Oasis to living on the edge, ostracized and lost in the musical wilderness of booze, notoriety and bitter legal battles. The film is set for release in the U.K. and Ireland on June 7, but has yet to get a U.S. release date.
