QUOTES ABOUT OASIS
"Who could not like Oasis? I'm sorry. Anybody who doesn't like them, they are officially a sucker." - M. Doughty (Soul Coughing)
"I know one thing's for sure, Oasis is the second best rock 'n' roll band." - Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)
"Oasis have got the best singer, they're the biggest band in the world, and they've sold more albums than anybody else, except us." -Lars Ulrich (Mettalica)
"Oasis are the best band since Lennon & McCartney." -D'arcy (Smashing Pumpkins.......I don't think she was being sarcastic when she said this.)
"I liked it when he spit on stage, it was so non-punk that it was punk all over again." -Beck (Talking about Liam at the 1996 MTV Video music awards.)
"Liam's brains are as big as a hamster's. ...And I mean as big as a hamster's brain, not as big as the whole hamster." -Justine Frischmann (Elastica)
"Musically they're not bad, but we've heard it all before, the thing that worries me the most are the comments they keep making on TV." -George Harrison (The Beatles)
"I like Oasis. They sing good and they play well." -Paul McCartney (The Beatles)
"Oasis are a good band. I like what they're doing." - Jim Reid (the Jesus and Mary Chain)
ALAN McGEE [Head of Creation Records] (on Liam) : "Liam is a f*c*i*g genius and nobody pays him enough respect. He's portrayed as a football hooligan and a yob when, in fact, he's the one of the most intelligent, warm-hearted, sensitive, spiritual individuals that I've ever met. The person I read about in the papers is not the person I know......He's the best R'n'R singer in the world, the best there's ever been. He's better than Elvis, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Rod Stewart. Better than John Lydon, even. Liam can sing better than all these guys, and he's got more attitude than Johnny Rotten. Johnny Rotten was the king, man, but Liam's dethroned him.......When you listen to Liam singing, his voice aches. You can feel all the anger and all the hurt that's happened to him and all the ways he's been let down in his life since he was a kid. That's why people look up to him. Even black kids identify with Liam, which is unusual for a white R'n'R singer.......People have put him down for dedicating "Live Forever" to princess Diana, but I'm with Liam on this. I f*c*i*g hate the Royal Family. But his point was, she's somebody's mother. He sees something for what it really is. Whether these people are princes or not, they've lost their mother, that's f*c*i*g horrific. Liam's got a big f*c*i*g heart. That's why I love him."
