OASIS - GALLAGHER: 'OASIS HAVE BEEN LUCKY'

OASIS guitarist NOEL GALLAGHER is modest about the success of his band, insisting its long-lasting career is partly due to luck. The rocker doubts if an early album by the WONDERWALL hitmakers would be as well-received if it was released into the present day. He says, "There're lots of tiny little things that have to fall into place, and there's kind of too many to mention, but timing is probably the best one. "I think if we'd have put our first album out three or four years either side of when it come out we'd be talking about a completely different story here. "We just kind of rode the crest of a wave really, I would say its fifty-fifty luck and hard graft."
