Seeing Rock 'N' Roll Star live really affected me— when you see this song about Noel (and Liam)'s dreams of being rockstars, sung out in their 50s, with these giant, larger-than-life visuals behind them of the band's heyday: Liam swaggering about at Knebworth, Noel's famous walk-on hyping up the crowd at Maine Road, young kids with their shades on and always a quip ready at hand, who ruled the world, projected behind Noel and Liam as sort of spectres of the older men on stage... they cut huge shadows, and the ghosts behind them? They're the biggest, coolest fucking rockstars of the 90s. That did make me pause for a second, my god.
