If the Gallagher brothers need some advice on how to keep their reunion from imploding, they might want to ask the Pixies.
Britain's NME asked Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago if he has any tips for Oasis. He offered the brothers four short pieces of advice -- from someone in a group that's about to release their fifth album since reuniting in 2014 after a 23-year hiatus.
- Just no physical violence.
- Insults are fine.
- Get sleep.
- If you're going to get [wasted], do it after the show.
Santiago was also asked if Oasis should record more albums. Despite his own band's track record, he preached caution, saying, “No no no, that is the most stressful part. I don’t think they’re ready for that yet."
Then he offered up what he said could be the "biggest tip" he could give Oasis. It was actually more of a request, though: "When they’re playing the Rose Bowl [in Pasadena, California, near Pixies' L.A. home base], they should ask this band called the Pixies to open up for them.”
The Pixies are making the media rounds promoting their ninth studio album, The Night the Zombies Came, which comes out Friday.
