Noel Gallagher People Quotations

I don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me.

Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.

You've just got to trust your instincts and realize that you can't please all the people all the time. You've got to please yourself ultimately in the end.

When you're the cash cow that lays the golden goose egg, people are always going to cheer you on, whatever.

It's a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.

What's problematic about playing stadiums and driving around in private jets and drinking champagne at 8 o'clock in the morning? What's wrong with that? I haven't got a problem with that. I can't fathom why people would.

Anything that's of any use, famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap.

I'm used to people being a mile away. That suits me. It's more nerve-wracking playing in front of people who are two feet away from me.

I've got my own style on the guitar, sure, and I play rhythm in a certain way, and I use certain inflections. People have said that to me, and I understand it.

People say I seem very negative about new music - well, if somebody asks me what I think of Keane, I'll tell 'em. I don't like 'em. I'll obviously take it a step too far and grossly insult the keyboard player's mam or summat, but I'm afraid that's just me.

You'll find people who rib you about their age are petrified about getting old. It doesn't bother me.

I don't think people need to know what colour socks I'm wearing today; I don't think people need to know what shower gel I'm using. There's too much information in the world, and there's no magic or mystery anymore.

I don't much like 'Wonderwall,' but the effect that song has on people, I can't deny it.

When you're in a band and there's five of you, you have to accommodate five people in every song.

Chart positions are for people with manbags who get to work at 11 A.M. because they've been at a digital meeting.

There was a euphoria in the music and the way it was delivered, and as the crowds started to get bigger, it fed off itself until it became less about the band and more about being with all those people jumping up and down, drunk to the music.

No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed', at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play 'Creep'. Get over it.

I'm against people downloading music.

The Who always play 'I Can't Explain'; and we'll always play 'Wonderwall'. People ask us if we get bored of it. You can't get bored of 15,000 people shouting for 'Wonderwall'. That's better than drugs. You get a hard-on when you hear that.

Is it any wonder why Princes & Kings / Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings / When ordinary people who are like you and me / Are the builders of their destiny.

As soon as people realize that the majority of people in this country take drugs then the better off we'll all be. It's not like a scandalous sensation or anything like that... drugs is like getting up and having a cup of tea in the morning.

Chart positions are for people with manbags who get to work at 11 A.M. because they've been at a digital meeting.

I like being famous. It can be a bit of a pain but you get free food in restaurants and people send you clothes.

We like annoying people. It's a Manchester thing. It's a trait. We just like pissing people off.
