Gallagher on the tedium of video shoots

Noel Gallagher tells NME he loathes making videos, calling miming a song hundreds of times a necessary evil, and his only demand of producers is to make Oasis look ten years younger.

And talking of Mr Gallagher, he's been telling NME about his hatred of video shoots, and of the one demand he has of any video producer.

Gallagher: "I fucking loathe videos. This is not the reason why I started a band, to stand on a video stage all day and mime a song 500 times, knowing that when you get to the end of the 499th, you're thinking, 'I don't even fucking like this song anymore, it's stupid.' But it's a necessary evil for me."

As for his one demand of any video producer: "There's only ever been one criterion, and that's to make us look ten years younger. You get that right and I'm fine."
