[新聞] 小白的哥哥（老白）訪談
老白，和威勒合作最久的鼓手，最近接受 ZANI 的訪問，
其中一小部分提到了弟弟小白，綠洲的前前任鼓手。
（僅節錄了綠洲部分）
ZANI – You’ve mentioned your Brother Alan, and as we know he
played drums with Oasis for nearly 10 years. We had Brit Pop, in
the mid 90s with acts like Oasis and Paul Weller at the top of
this ‘tree’, which featured you and Alan in both bands
respectively. Not only are you and Alan part of Pop history, but
I bet your parents must have been the proudest parents in southeast
London.
Steve White- They were and still are. When Oasis was added to the
mix of my family, we would get the Daily Mirror ringing my mum up,
trying to catch her out. The good thing, about the Oasis mania, was
the fact that I was there for Alan. To make sure he made the right
business decisions. To make sure that the accountants and managers
didn’t get their hands on his money. I was really glad I was there,
because I was able to guide him. Alan did 10 years with Oasis, and
maybe it was the right time to move on.
ZANI –What actually happened between Alan and Oasis. Why was he
asked to leave in 2004?
Steve White – There were some disputes about meetings. I wasn’t
there so I couldn’t comment. What you would get would be a story
from either side. I am sure they’ve all got their opinions, and I
respect that. The bottom line is that Alan got a call four days
before Christmas from ‘The Manager’, and he was told he was out
of the band. And he hasn’t seen or heard from Noel or Liam since.
ZANI – That’s a bit sad, seeing he had been with them for many
years.
Steve White – All Alan wanted, was to have a pint of Stella, and
the guys to say what we want is to get Zak Starkey in, as we don’t
think you’re right for us anymore. Alan would have had no problem
with that, as nothing lasts forever.
But it was just the circumstances of the events which were shocking.
They shocked me, and they hurt Alan.
ZANI – What is Alan doing now?
Steve White – He’s a property developer. The bottom line is, he
played on records that sold over 27 million copies worldwide, as a
fully paid up member of the band. He’s done very well.
ZANI – So the elder brother’s business advice paid off?
Steve White – Alan is doing all right, thank you. He would love to
play again, but I think he was really hurt the way it was done, with
Oasis. But he wasn’t the first musician that it had happened to.
But for someone like Liam, and Noel, who presents this image,” I am
tough, I am hard, and I can take on anyone.” They couldn’t stand
there, face to face, with Alan, I don’t like that.
