Wish you were as cool as Liam Gallagher? Well now you can be, by following these 10 ways of acting like a Rock'n'Roll star.
Here are some tips that'll show you how to look and sound cool with your friends.
You’ll be sure to be the coolest mutha in the room and your friends will look forward to hanging out with you.
 Sunglasses indoors it might feel a little foolish, but trust me no Rock'n'Roll star should be seen without their sunglasses! Their is always Sunshhhhiiinne indoors. Also worth a mention if someone asks you why you are wearing sunglasses,  instead of saying they are perscription for an eye condition, say the eyes are way into my soul and I dont like people looking into my soul! That way you sound very profound, very deep and you still get to wear them.
 Good jacket – a good jacket is essential to the look of a Rock'n'Roll star try to find tight fitting jackets. Cool army style jackets are a must, if its unique, kinda tatty then get it! You might be rich an famous but you cant appear to be like that
– you save that for the parties!
 A wise man once said you won't go far in this world without a good pair of  shoes and a decent hair cut. That man was Liam Gallagher! So take his advice and get decent shoes. They can be Mod style like Paul Weller or a damn cool pair of shoes. Don't buy trainers, that's just chavvy. You want to look good so buy a nice pair of black or brown shoes like these...
 Any respectable cool Rock'n'Roll star has to have a good haircut. An unshaven look can look like you’ve been on a bender for a week so that's always acceptable! Decent hair is a must, I cannot stress this enough! Without good hair no one will notice you, and no one will take you seriously.  Take inspiration from Rock'n'Roll stars nowadays and from the 60’s and 70’s, don't I Repeat DO NOT take anything from the 50’s or 80’s! We need to forget those decades. Experiment, and let the professionals do their work! You never know you might pick up a hot hairdresser or two if you mention your a Rock'n'Roll star!
 Practice your cool walk; everyone has their own cool walk so try to find your own. Try it really slow, or really fast; just see what works for you. All you need to remember is don’t use any from Monty Python’s ministry of silly walks. Just walk like you walk, but with  attitude, take notes on how Liam, Noel, Ashcroft, Ian Brown walk. Don’t walk too much like a monkey though. Swing your arms, look angry and don’t move out the way for anyone! After all you’re a Rock'n'Roll star they should move for you!
  Cigarettes and Alcohol - all self respecting rock stars lay in the corner drinking Jack Daniel's from the bottle. Party hard sleep in the day and party at night! And after the gig grab the JD and a groupie and have fun! You only live once, and being a Rock'n'Roll star you’ll die young, so enjoy it!
 Pulling it all together, this is where you’ll either make it or fail as a Rock'n'Roll star. You’ve bought the sunglasses and wear them everywhere; you’ve gone and bought that unique 70’s army jacket, found some class snake skin boots. You’ve gone to the Barbers, told him to shove it, gone into a trendy expensive hair dressers and now have a kick ass hair cut.  You’ve watched Monty python, taken notes of how not to walk, watched the pros and perfected your monkey walk. You’re unshaven from the weekend’s bender of booze & birds. But it just doesn’t seem right. That’s because you aint got attitude! You need to realize you’re a Rock'n'Roll star people should bow down to you! Move out the way when you’re walking down the street. You need to know you’re cool. Don’t act like a tit though that’s where an ASBO will be enforced on you. But don’t worry the judge will understand if you’ve done everything up to this point! He’ll know you’re a Rock'n'Roll star not a chav or a thug.
 Obviously a very important thing is to be able to play an instrument if you can’t do that then well, you’re not a Rock'n'Roll star, and you’re just someone who looks and acts like a Rock'n'Roll star. But don’t play the drums sure there fun to hit but drummers  are generally smelly and never get laid being at the back of the gig. Bass well that’s too easy, birds dig Guitarists and singers. If you’re a front man then sit back and enjoy the ride!
 Write your own songs, everyone knows the songwriters are usually the coolest in the band; they’re the true stars. Learn to write meaningful songs. Its fun to do, and is good therapy! And let’s face it, it’s not cool to look, act and play the part of a Rock'n'Roll star unless you’re doing your songs! If you’re covering songs it looks a little saaaad!.
 Your nobody with out a band! Clearly unless you’re performing in front of people your not a Rock'n'Roll star. If you’ve done everything up until now but aren’t in a band, then get in one because you’re not a Rock'n'Roll star! All you are is someone who plays an instrument and looks like a Rock'n'Roll star and that’s not cool! Practice, play your own songs, and use everything we’ve mentioned here and you wont go far wrong from making it as a Rock'n'Roll star!
 Well that’s it, that’s your guide to being a true Rock'n'Roll star! Go to it walk like a monkey wear cool clothes and party hard!
