Q: Be Here Now to Heathen Chemistry: what went wrong? 從《全體集合》到《異類效應》：哪裡不對勁了？ We should have let...Morning Glory settle and fade into the distance and not done Be Here Now or Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. I'd quit drugs but instead of a bag of Charlie I had a pocketful of prescription uppers and downers from the doctor. I was so uninspired about making music. I was doing it for all the wrong reasons—for the sake of it. Only the lyrics[on Standing on the Shoulder of Giants] came from a place of truth. Gas Panic!—I was having serious panic attacks from the drugs. Where Did It All Go Wrong? is the true story of me sitting there going,"Who renamed this house? Remind me again...” And with the band, all the hangers-on we had. They were just drug buddies. I didn't know anybody, nobody knew me. The lyrics were fucking brilliant. But the tunes were shit. 「早知道我們應該要在《晨光榮耀》這張專輯之後收手暫停，然後先不要做《全體集合》或者《巨人肩膀》。當時雖然我已經戒掉毒品，但生活還是充斥醫生開的處方藥物，對於做音樂我是如此的倦怠沒靈感。這些過渡期的專輯都是為了做而做。只有歌詞 [巨人肩膀時期]是真實誠懇的。"Gas Panic!"這首歌──我是真的在經歷毒品過後的恐慌發作。"Where Did It All Go Wrong?"則是我一個人靜下來，不禁想說是誰重新命名了這個房子？再提醒我一次...然後整個團，那些身邊的人，不過是酒肉朋友，我沒有真正認識誰，也沒有誰認識我。那些歌詞他媽的讚，但是歌曲遜掉了。」 Q記者寫道，儘管Noel看起來一副滿不在乎的唬人樣，還是在小地方漏了餡： _____'05年頒獎典禮後台，他可以一字不漏的把Q對《真實謊言》的評論講出來！____ 這一點我在很多訪問都有發現，Noel記憶力真的超好的，而且不管幾百年前的舊帳，都可以隨時拿出來講，一副歷歷在目的樣子orz! Q: You were being disingenuous. You care much more than you let on, don't you? 你這樣有點做作哦，你其實比表現出來的還要在乎許多，不是嗎？ Of course I care. Because records last forever, you know. I care more than most people. There's songs that I nail and think they are really fucking brilliant. And there's great lines, I think, in everything I do. 「我當然在乎，因為你知道，專輯是會永遠流傳下去的。我可能比大部分的人都還要在意。有些歌我覺得自己做到了，因為他媽的真的很出色。而在我做的每一件事裡頭，我覺得都存在一些很棒的歌詞。」 Q: Dig Out Your Soul—your songs on it are far superior to Liam's, Gem's and Andy's, right? 在《靈魂解放》這張專輯裡，你寫的歌遠比其他三個團員都還要出色，是吧？ I wouldn't argue with that. 「我不會和你爭論這點啦。」 Q: So why didn't you write all of it? 那這樣你何不乾脆都自己寫？ There came a point where I knew I couldn't write the volume of songs any more. If I had to sit down for the next album and write 12 for the record, two for the B-sides of each single, that's 18—I wouldn't know where to start. I like Liam's stuff. Gem and Andy have flashes of brilliance...I think it's important for them [to write]. Not that I want to sound like I'm throwing them crumbs... Maybe they would be better records if it was all me, but it wouldn't be good for the band's soul. 「就是有一個時間點，我知道我不能再寫一大堆的歌了。如果現在我必須為下一張專輯寫出12首歌，外加單曲B-side，那總共是18首了──我大概根本無所適從，沒有頭緒。其實我滿喜歡Liam的歌，Gem和Andy也都有自己靈光一現的才華...我認為讓他們持續創作是很重要的，並不是好像我在丟麵包屑，施恩惠給誰...也許後面這幾張都是我的歌的話，會是更好的專輯，但這樣對整個團的靈魂並沒有好處。」 Q: What have Gem and Andy brought to the band? Gem 和 Andy 究竟帶給整個團什麼東西？ They came late, but fuck me, it was like the cavalry riding over the hill. Gem's like me, he works backwards from the band. Me and him would drive it along at all costs because we know how to find drummers when we need one, how to rehearse the band. Liam...He's constantly thinking about what shoes to buy. Or developing new techniques for balancing that fucking tambourine on his head. Great, off you go. Andy? I think he sees himself as a bit of a Bill Wyman character. Sometimes I look at him onstage and think,"Is he actually moving?" If I didn't hear a sound coming out of a bass, I'd think that Kraftwerk had put one of their robots there. I'll walk across and he'll go, "What a gig!" Fucking hell, man, you need a rocket up your arse. 「他們加入的算晚，但幹，真是有如重裝部隊支援，輕騎過關的感覺。Gem比較像我，是從樂團的幕後做到幕前[Noel在加入Oasis之前曾經當過Inspiral Carpets的巡迴器材人員數年]。我們兩個會盡全力讓整個團好好運作，去哪裡找合適的鼓手，怎麼練團比較好之類的。至於Liam...他就是不斷在想著要買哪一雙鞋，或者研發如何讓他媽的鈴鼓平衡的站在頭上的技術，好啊，你就繼續這麼搞啊。Andy的話，我覺得他把自己看作滾石合唱團繼任的貝斯手Bill Wyman那樣，幫整個團加分但是依舊比較像是個局外人。有時候我在台上看著他，會想說“他真的有在動嗎？”如果不是聽見貝斯發出聲音，我可能會認為是那個德國電子樂團Kraftwerk幫我們放了一台機器人在那裡哩。這時候我會走過去他那邊，然後他才會開口說，"不可思議的一場演唱會!" 他媽的拜託，老兄，你是不是需要在屁股裝個火箭或者引擎啊。」 (附上當年 Noel 還是 roadie 的拙樣哈!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1XuVDvn770
