Gallagher: 'We're on level with Stones'

Noel Gallagher has claimed that Oasis should be considered on a level with The Rolling Stones.

The guitarist argued that the band's worldwide status is on a par with the veteran rock act.

"We're not going to turn any new people on to Oasis," he told Rolling Stone magazine.

"Oasis is a band that you either get it or you don't. Everybody knows who we are. You have to see us in league with the Rolling Stones now.

"Everybody's heard of the Stones, everybody knows what they sound like, everybody knows what they do. You either go because you like it or you don't. It's easy."
