As you can guess, Noel Gallagher isn't too fond of music videos, even if they're his own.
This compliation of Oasis music video DVD commentary has the songwriter/guitarist recapping his foggy memories of the process — fave quote: "I was fucking drunk in this video. Look how pissed I am there" — and generally laying out his video philosophy:
"I fucking hate videos. I hate everything about them. I hate the fact that they cost a fortune. I hate the fact you have to be there at 8 in the morning. I hate the fact that you don't leave until 8 the fucking next morning. I don't like the fact that the people who are making them think they're fucking making Apocalypse Now and everything is the most important, 'this is the really important shot, and this bit, we're gonna...' — fucking bollocks, it's nonsense. Then it was alright because of The Chart Show and all that, you know what I mean? Who fucking watches videos these days? No one. A right fucking con."
My other favorite quote? "I look like fucking Columbo."
Noel Gallagher is a genius. This is 10 minutes well worth your time. Just make sure you wear headphones if you're at work.
