Oasis can't be summed up in one word. I could do a sentence: Boys from council estate made it very, very big.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a big Oasis fan.
Oasis are not just influenced by the Beatles; they actually take stuff. Then they get praised.
I thought if Oasis could get away with sounding like The Beatles, I could get away with sounding like Abba.
I actually went to an Oasis concert. I thought they were a brilliant songwriting band.
Oasis were the last great, traditional rock-n'-roll band. We came along before the Internet so, if you wanted to see us, you had to be there. It makes me feel like a righteous old man.
I've been told that 'Midnight at the Oasis' has been responsible for the conception of more children than any other song of the '70s.
I have a vernacular house on the seaside in Northumberland and an Edwardian semi in south Manchester. They're both exactly as big as they need to be. I can't be doing with an ostentatious, big house - you can only be in one room at a time.
When I was a youngster, I was brought up in a very political background on an estate in north London.
You're not going to have something set on a council estate that explores all elements of human existence, the variety of experience inherent in any community.
I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis.
