"For instance, Chris Martin I fucking love. Top band. Coldplay, when I first
seen them. blew me away. But he's coming back saying, 'I haven't met anyone
that's liked us in two years, I don't know if we're cool.' That's not the
spirit. People want rock stars, that's the one thing I learned. People
don't want someone to walk onto a stage and say, 'I'm the same as you.'
They want someone to go on a stage and say,
'You? You could never be like me,
'cos I'm from another fucking planet!'"
「举例来说,我他妈的喜欢 Chris Martin,他的团 Coldplay 超赞,当年我第一次
看到他们现场就被征服了。但是他事後回过头来问我『我们团已经两年多没人赏识,
我不知道我们到底OK不OK酷不酷。』这就不是摇滚精神了吧?人们想要的是摇滚巨星,
这几年来我学到的其中一件事就是,摇滚乐的歌迷并不想要有人站上台让他们觉得
就和普通人一样平凡,而是你一站在台上就清楚的展示你是独一无二的,没有人可以
像你一样,因为你是从他妈另一个星球来的。」
--Noel 聊到 Oasis 是否有新世代的传人可以延续气势

"Every time we put out a record, people say, 'Well, it hasn't progressed
much.' Sometimes I think, what do you mean by that? This is what we fucking
sound like.
We happen to think that we sound the bollocks. We're not ones
to lead our fans a merry dance through a maze of electronics. I say to every
other band, You do the experimenting--we'll just blow the roof off everywhere
we play. You can have the chin-strokers and we'll have people pogoing thank
you very much."
「好像每次我们出专辑,都一定会有人说『嗯,他们还是做差不多的东西,
没什麽进步。』有时候我会想,你们这样说是什麽意思?这就是我们独特的声音,
我们在行的东西啊,而且我们刚好也都觉得自己的音乐很屌很赞。我们不是那种
实验型会带领歌迷走过一道又一道舞曲电子等等迷宫的乐团。我对其他的乐团说,
你们尽管去实验吧,我们只要负责掀掉表演现场的屋顶就好了。你们可以去招揽
那些想用头脑逻辑去理解音乐的人,我们只想有歌迷来热情的参与和回馈。」
--Noel 谈到评论和歌迷反应

"One of the best songs on the new record is by Andy Bell adn sung by Liam.
It's called Keep the Dream Alive. Isn't that the struggle of every band
who've reached Oasis' level--preserving the innocence?"
'It's for Andy to say. It's his song. I don't have to keep the dream alive,
as far as I'm concerned, man.
The dream IS alive. The dream is reality.
The reality is the dream. But if he needs a vocal, I'll give him one.'
「新专辑里最棒的创作之一是由 Andy Bell 词曲,Liam 诠释,一首叫做『让梦想继续』
的歌曲。里头写的不正是每一个乐团,尤其是到达像 Oasis 现在名利双收的地步,
所努力想保有的一种最原始最单纯的感动吗?」
『你这要去问 Andy 罗,毕竟这是他的歌。我不需要让梦想存活或者继续,
对我而言,梦想永远都活着没有消逝过。梦想就是唯一的现实,现实就是你的梦想。
不过如果 Andy 需要有个声音来替他的歌发声,那我很乐意给他我的。』
--Liam 谈到 Keep the Dream Alive 超屌的态度

"Are you saying that, in spite of all this looking inside you're doing now
you've never encountered an ounce of doubt?"
'No. It's life innit? You have your ups and downs. Some days you win and
some days you lose. That's what I'm made for, man--to fucking win and lose.
I don't mean to sound like a wanker, man
but that's what it's all about:
winning and losing, making up, falling out, making up. Being good,
being bad. You can't be good all the time.'
「你的意思是说,尽管你现在开始写歌创作,挖掘正视自己内心的种种层面,
你仍然没有遭遇过丝毫的怀疑或者犹豫吗?」
『没有。生活不就是这麽回事吗?总是会有起有落有高有低。有时候你会大获全胜,
而有时候你就是会输得一败涂地。这就是我出生到这个世界的意义--去他妈的
求胜或者求败。我并不是要装哲学在那边自以为是,但是活着真的就是这麽回事:
有输有赢,补救,失败,倒下,又站起来重建。时好时坏,是好人却也有当坏人
的时刻,你总不能想要一直都很顺遂,或者一直都当好人吧。』
--Liam 回答记者关於自我怀疑
