Q275

In this issue

Noel Gallagher: “I don’t like him and he doesn’t like me, that much is evident.” Ah brotherly love. Noel tells us about his barely existent relationship with Liam and how he had a fist fight with our kid over the best Christmas song. Yes, really.

Jarvis Cocker: “Marmite and mob violence – that’s what I miss,” says the increasingly geography teacher-like Cocker after he said au revoir to Britain. Jarvis holds court on why classical music in car parks is a good thing and how fame means he can no longer be a “total c**t”.

Marianne Faithfull: Sex and rugs and rock’n’roll (not to many drugs), touches on the keystones which have made her one of the great female icons in the music business.

The Island Story: How Chris Blackwell built the label up from nothing, created global superstars such as Bob Marley and nurtured the talents of John Martyn, Nick Drake and the world’s biggest band U2.

Almost Famous: They are the faces you know so well from a string of renowned promos, but how did they get there and what became of them? Meet the woman from the Eric Prydz Call Me video and that weird-looking chap from Aphex Twin’s Come To Daddy, among others ….

Keane Live: Intimate offers of personal services from fans in South America and Bono murder fantasies - Q travels to Buenos Aires with with those three nice chaps from Keane.

  • It's ALWAYS either the Gallaghers, U2 or members of both bands. With so many great bands in the world, why do you ALWAYS put the same guys on the cover? Are they sponsoring the magazine or something like that?

  • Put Simply Noel Gallagher is a talented, witty, funny and charasmatic individual who is also the finest songwriter of his generation. People are intrigued by what he has to say , Oasis and Noel & Liam inparticular make for good copy. You wouldn't want Keane on the cover would you?.... or would you :{

  • Noel, when working as a roadie for Inspiral Carpets, tried to buy drugs off me at a free concert. I couldn`t help him and bought a "Cool As Fuck" t-shirt from him instead which he got all the band to sign. I read him claim,since, that the chap was a lookalike but I´m not fooled...

  • They put Green Day on last months(its this month in the US) cover. I'm an Oasis/Noel Gallagher fan since they started and I think he is a smart guy who has proven you don't need alot of education to be successful. I will actually buy this issue even though I haven't been buying them lately.

  • The Church have an amazing album out this month called Untitled#23 which is recieving 4.5 and 5 star reviews worldwide, and you have Oasis on the cover? What about an interview or article with the Church? Steve Kilbey is the worlds number one under-exposed artist.

  • I'd have no issues with Noel but surely Jarvis should have been the cover. He is still one of the best lyricist's about and always has something interesting to say.

  • I only buy the mag because it manages to get proper in depth interviews with actual "Rock Stars" (Noel Gallagher, Bono, Etc...) If you want covers with snotty nosed, make up wearing "Indie" acts, all wearing the same clothes and lacking in any real substance, then go buy the f***ing NME. End Of. Another great issue Q.

  • They do this because they sell loads of copies when they have Noel on the cover! I love Oasis, especially Noel. He's funny and smart and their songs are really really great!

  • This is a great cover and everything, but I don't think the magazine itself was great. You've only just had a makeover and now you've gone and done it again. The Review section is SO ugly now and looks cold and boring. Seriously, GO BACK TO THE STYLE YOU HAD FOR ISSUES 270 - 273, it was much nicer to read. Sorry for being a nerd guys. As for the cover, it's one of the best in a while. Nice electrifying blue goes well and it's a good shot of Gallagher Snr. How about a Radiohead cover soon?
