I've never understood musicians who don't enjoy doing promotional interviews. I just can't believe it. I always think, 'Your life must have been so brilliant before you were in a band.'
Traditionally speaking, the three biggest twats in any band are the singer, the keyboardist and the drummer. I don't need to say anything else.
When you're in a band and there's five of you, you have to accommodate five people in every song.
I know there's bands that might write something that sounds like The Smiths, and they'll go, 'Oh, it sounds like The Smiths, we've got to make it sound not like The Smiths.'
You're asking if I'm happy? I've got 87 million in the bank, I've got a Rolls Royce, I've got 3 stalkers, I'm about to go on the board at Manchester City, I'm part of the greatest band in the world. Am I happy with that? No, I'm not! I want more!
We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world.
It was a change to not get the token live act award for being able to play the guitar. Best album - nice one.
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.
