Noel Gallagher’s interviews har ofte været mere underholdende end hans musik. Her et link til Rolling Stone, hvor den ikke-abedumme bror fra Oasis i går redegjorde får musikåret 2013. Her nedenfor en forsmag i form hans syn på Arcade Fire, dobbeltalbums og udklædningstøj i forbindelse med rockmusik.

Did you hear Arcade Fire’s new album?
I haven’t heard it. Anybody that comes back with a double album, to me, needs to pry themselves out of their own asshole. This is not the Seventies, okay? Go and ask Billy Corgan about a double album. Who has the fucking time, in 2013, to sit through 45 minutes of a single album? How arrogant are these people to think that you’ve got an hour and a half to listen to a fucking record?

Did you see that they’ve asked people to wear formal wear or costumes at their shows?
[Sighs] Well, what’s the point of that? Do you know what the point of that is? That is to take away from the shit disco that’s coming out of the speakers. Because everybody’s dressed as one of the Three Musketeers on acid. “What was the gig like?” “I don’t know, everyone was dressed as a teddy bear in the Seventies.” “Yeah, but what was the gig like?” “Ah, fuck knows, man, I have no idea. I was dressed as a flying saucer.” “Yeah, but what was the gig like?” “Fuck knows. I don’t know. Seen Cheech and Chong, there, though.” Not for me.

You know Bowie sings backup on one of Arcade Fire’s new songs, right?
Oh, that’s a shame.
