"Americans want grungy people, stabbing themselves in the head on stage. They get a bright bunch like us, with deodorant on, they don't get it"

About this Quote

This quote by Liam Gallagher is a commentary on the American music scene and the expectations of the audience. He is suggesting that Americans prefer performers who are "grungy" and place on a program that is wild and unforeseeable. He is implying that a band like his own, Oasis, which is more sleek and created, does not fit the mold of what Americans anticipate from a live efficiency. He is also suggesting that Americans do not appreciate the effort that enters into a more refined performance. This quote talks to the concept that Americans have a specific expectation of what a live efficiency should look like, which bands that don't fit that mold may not be as valued. It also speaks with the idea that Americans might dislike the effort that goes into a more refined performance. Ultimately, this quote is a commentary on the expectations of the American music scene and how it may not always be open to different styles of efficiency.
