"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!'" 「舉例來說，我他媽的喜歡 Chris Martin，他的團 Coldplay 超讚，當年我第一次 看到他們現場就被征服了。但是他事後回過頭來問我『我們團已經兩年多沒人賞識， 我不知道我們到底OK不OK酷不酷。』這就不是搖滾精神了吧？人們想要的是搖滾巨星， 這幾年來我學到的其中一件事就是，搖滾樂的歌迷並不想要有人站上台讓他們覺得 就和普通人一樣平凡，而是你一站在台上就清楚的展示你是獨一無二的，沒有人可以 像你一樣，因為你是從他媽另一個星球來的。」 --Noel 聊到 Oasis 是否有新世代的傳人可以延續氣勢 _________________________________________________________________________ "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." 「好像每次我們出專輯，都一定會有人說『嗯，他們還是做差不多的東西， 沒什麼進步。』有時候我會想，你們這樣說是什麼意思？這就是我們獨特的聲音， 我們在行的東西啊，而且我們剛好也都覺得自己的音樂很屌很讚。我們不是那種 實驗型會帶領歌迷走過一道又一道舞曲電子等等迷宮的樂團。我對其他的樂團說， 你們儘管去實驗吧，我們只要負責掀掉表演現場的屋頂就好了。你們可以去招攬 那些想用頭腦邏輯去理解音樂的人，我們只想有歌迷來熱情的參與和回饋。」 --Noel 談到評論和歌迷反應 ____________________________________________________________________________ "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.' 「新專輯裡最棒的創作之一是由 Andy Bell 詞曲，Liam 詮釋，一首叫做『讓夢想繼續』 的歌曲。裡頭寫的不正是每一個樂團，尤其是到達像 Oasis 現在名利雙收的地步， 所努力想保有的一種最原始最單純的感動嗎？」 『你這要去問 Andy 囉，畢竟這是他的歌。我不需要讓夢想存活或者繼續， 對我而言，夢想永遠都活著沒有消逝過。夢想就是唯一的現實，現實就是你的夢想。 不過如果 Andy 需要有個聲音來替他的歌發聲，那我很樂意給他我的。』 --Liam 談到 Keep the Dream Alive 超屌的態度 _________________________________________________________________________ "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.' 「你的意思是說，儘管你現在開始寫歌創作，挖掘正視自己內心的種種層面， 你仍然沒有遭遇過絲毫的懷疑或者猶豫嗎？」 『沒有。生活不就是這麼回事嗎？總是會有起有落有高有低。有時候你會大獲全勝， 而有時候你就是會輸得一敗塗地。這就是我出生到這個世界的意義--去他媽的 求勝或者求敗。我並不是要裝哲學在那邊自以為是，但是活著真的就是這麼回事： 有輸有贏，補救，失敗，倒下，又站起來重建。時好時壞，是好人卻也有當壞人 的時刻，你總不能想要一直都很順遂，或者一直都當好人吧。』 --Liam 回答記者關於自我懷疑 ____________________________________________________________________ Cheers!
