With their new album Dig Out Your Soul out and an international tour underway, Rolling Stone caught up with Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher to chat about the first record that blew his mind, how he measures success and God’s musical prowess.
The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson recently said if you stay around long enough you become cool again. Seems like that’s happening with Oasis here as well.
That’s something I think about a lot and I remember Paul Weller telling me that. But I don’t worry about that; I’m happy with the way Oasis is. But he was talking about the cycles; it comes and goes. It’s like songwriting. It’s not a race. It’s about the quality you put out more than the quantity. And I love the Black Crowes. The way I judge success is we’re doing it on our own terms and that outweighs any fucking success. If I can get through this, the whole Oasis thing, knowing I didn’t fucking suck cock, then that is a huge success to me.
