Q: Did you read the reviews of "Dig Out Your Soul" or is that something
you generally avoid?
A: Oh, no, I don't avoid them. But by the same rule, I don't go out of
my way to read them all. I've seen a few.
Q: They were cautiously optimistic.
A: They're just the same Oasis reviews to me: "Some songs are good, the
s- ones are s-, why are they still f- making music?"
Q: It probably goes back to your third album, "Be Here Now." Critics gave
it such great reviews before realizing that maybe the music wasn't actually
all that great.
A: They've never forgiven us for that. I'm quite proud of that. Yeah, so,
I've read a few. They still do that thing where they slag you off for your
lyrics, yet they print the wrong lyrics. It's like, hang on a minute,
you're printing your f- lyrics, you're not printing mine. That's not what
it says on the f- song, you doofus.
Q: Does it really make a difference?
A: No, it doesn't. I'm not sure what the overall goal is of a review. What
is its point? Is it to guide people through the quagmire for them to say
you should really be listening to this kind of music? If one has four stars
and one has got three, does that mean if you're cursed with a choice in a
record store you should buy the one with four and not the one with three?
Is that what it is?
Q: Have you ever bought a record based on a review?
A: I've bought one or two, and I'm at pain to say this, but they were
all f- great.
Q: There you go.
A: No, the reviews weren't great, but the albums were great. I read a
review, and if it mentions anything about the Beatles or the Stones or
the Stooges or the Kinks, I'm like, "Well, I'm f- buying that." The albums
I bought were American albums, funny enough.
Q: How about your live shows? People moan that you just stand there.
Have you ever suggested to your brother Liam that he make a little bit
more effort onstage, maybe watch a few old Rolling Stones videos?
A: God, have you seen that film "Shine a Light"? Well, Mick Jagger takes
it to the next level, man. It's f- ludicrous. But, no, Liam's turned the
standing-still thing into a bit of an art form. We can't all be jumping
around like f- Jumping Jack Flash, can we? Would it work if Liam was like
Mick Jagger? No, it f- wouldn't.
