It was a change to not get the token live act award for being able to play the guitar. Best album - nice one.
You can't really write a full album about your missus. She'll start getting the wrong idea and start thinking I like her.
Every album I've ever been involved in, on the day that it came out I believed in it.
Look. I was a superhero in the '90s. I said so at the time. McCartney, Weller, Townshend, Richards, my first album's better than all their first albums. Even they'd admit that.
I love the Bee Gees, but only the pre-disco stuff. From '64 to '69, I've got all their albums.
I've never been asked to do a collaboration. I guess I just don't give off that come-and-get-me vibe. I wouldn't be adverse to doing one with Coldplay or U2 - anyone who sells 50 million albums.
Slade was never pretentious. It was just music to them. Pop, rock, soul....it was all the same to Slade. They wrote great songs. And, besides, I'd like to raid their wardrobe.
I'm a happy-go-lucky character. I'm not that miserable. But I can never let anyone into my world.
Some might say, we will find a brighter day.
Liam is a songwriting genius. His songs make me cry 'cause they are better than mine.
It's 'Let There Be Love,' which is another one that wasn't gonna go on the album,
There's no reason, ever, to be late. Or early.
Oasis were the last great, traditional rock-n'-roll band. We came along before the Internet so, if you wanted to see us, you had to be there. It makes me feel like a righteous old man.
Chart positions are for people with manbags who get to work at 11 A.M. because they've been at a digital meeting.
