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.
Liam is a songwriting genius. His songs make me cry 'cause they are better than mine.
My first instinct when I write songs is not a negative one. It's something positive... Everything I've ever done has some form of hope in it, I think.
Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong / Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone / So bring it on home and it won't be long / It's gettin' better man!
I despise hip hop. Loathe it. Eminem is an idiot and I find 50 Cent the most distasteful character I have ever crossed in my life. Eminem's new song about his kid - isn't it the most ridiculous piece of music you have ever heard in your life? I just don't like the dragging women around on dog leads and all that stuff
The fate of the African continent does not f-ing depend on a load of f-ing musicians in Hyde Park singing f-ing s-t songs to kids.
I wasn't put on this earth to amass money or personal wealth. I was put on this earth to play guitar and write songs.
My son ain't going to be miserable because he's going to be the child of a rock star, the end.
When you're in a band and there's five of you, you have to accommodate five people in every song.
Writing songs, that's what gets me going. Not the drugs or the sex or the rock'n'roll behaviour, it's the music.
I like Chris Martin. I think he's a really great songwriter.
There is a limited supply of excellent songs, but I am not the only one. Paul McCartney, one of the best songwriters of all time, has only produced manure for the past 25 years. Rock musicians over 30 only produce unimportant material.
As I get older, I don't aggressively pursue songs. All the great ones just appear.
Producers like to record all the drums first, then they do the bass, then all the guitars, so you're constantly moving from one song to another.
