Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones and George Harrison from the Beatles looked cool; Paul McCartney always looked like a nerd, but we forgave him for that because he had a top voice and wrote top tunes; Jimi Hendrix always looked pretty wild, which I liked.

There's nothing modern here—it's not [...]

During a sarcastic rant at an afterparty, Noel told a fan: "If he wants to take credit for my band then that's up to him. But every fan knows the truth and that's all that matters."
