GETTING ARRESTED ON A FERRY

-

“[oasis bass player] Guigsy had been made redundant by bt: he’d been given five grand and he got it in fifties. So we were drinking, ordering champagne or whatever, and some geezer goes, ‘these notes are forged.’ We told him to fuck off, and it just escalated. next minute we’re in the slammer down at the bottom of the ferry. We get to amsterdam the next morning and we’re going, ‘We’re cool now, can we go and do the gig?’ and this guy’s going, ‘no, you’re going back.’ boom, back we go. It’s my favourite bit of the film. It’s up there with Knebworth! noel contradict­s what he’s said before [that it’s all about the music]. He’s going, ‘as long as we’re on the cover of magazines, it doesn’t matter.’ Well, you’re not going to get [there] reading Shakespear­e, are you, dickwad? you’d think with social media these days, someone’d be filming something [scandalous] every day, but there’s fucking nothing. these kids today are all just fucking squares. no band gets up to anything. bunch of fucking pussies.”
