‘Have Gibson not been onto you?’ And I said, ‘No, maybe I play too many Strats.’ I think it’s more likely they don’t know who I am”: John Squire opens up on his return to music with Liam Gallagher – and why he’s no guitar hero
“When Squire doesn’t have a band – which has been the case for significant stretches of his 61 years – he pulls down the shutters and leaves little more than a shadow. Given that, nobody saw the twist coming. Last December, an album sampler codenamed TWIX dropped into select inboxes, confirming the whispers that Squire and Gallagher had been collaborating on the sly. Punky, bluesy and psychedelic, the resulting eponymous album is arguably the best thing either musician has put his name to in decades – and once we’ve tuned in to the guitarist’s signature brand of laconic charisma, his pride in the new work is obvious.”
