Tapedek: Oasis v Blur?
Blur (together)
Noel v Liam?
Noel (together).
Freddie: Cause Noel is a talented guy and Liam is a comedian. He called us boring which is probably a good thing because if Liam Gallagher likes you, you’re fucked.
Heroin or Cocaine?
Pete: Cocaine.
F: I go for Heroin. Not because I’d ever do it but because so much of the music that I love has got a lot to do with Heroin.
Velvet underground, My Bloody Valentine or the Smiths?
F: All!
P: choose one!
F: 1. My Bloody Valentine because Kevin Shields is just a fucking genius. 2. Johnny Marr and then Lou Reed.
P: I’d go VU, Smiths and MBV.
F: I hung out with Kevin Shields. I was trying to get some guitar secrets out of him but no.
Which band member will be the first to date Kate Moss?
P: Freddie.
F: Freddie. Why? Cause I’m a neat guy.
P: Justin’s got a thing for models.

F: I want to have kids by the time I’m 24
