I don't do that, and sometimes that gives things an ambiguity that I like. I like that ambiguity in Kurt Cobain and John Lennon sometimes. Can method of cutting up tapes. The first time we played the song Nick came up with an amazing effect on his guitar, and we just built it from there. Some of the songs have started from me and a dictaphone and a guitar, and this one started with a guitar effect from Nick, and that tremendous groove it breaks into.
People undoubtedly love to move their bodies, and to see a human live up to a machine and better it.
We sometimes get in this frame of mind that we can't beat machines where grooves are concerned, and it's bollocks. We'd spent a lot of time in the studio, and at some point, someone has to say 'Sorry, lads, it's over. It's got that kind of late-night, city loneliness, when you're wasted and walking round that city at fuckin' five o'clock in the morning and moving from bar to bar. You can imagine it being behind 'Midnight Cowboy'. I remember taking an early demo over to New York when we did those Oasis gigs, and Liam demanded that we get a taxi back to our hotel so we could pick the tape up because he was getting obsessed with 'Space and Time'.
