Alan McGee of Creation Records

Scott chats with legendary music mogul and founder of Creation Records Alan McGee, all the way from London on Zoom. They talk about Alan’s role in signing massive UK bands like in the 90s through the present day. He tells great stories about the night he saw and signed Oasis, how he got into the business with his friend circle of Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream, and the night Carl Barât of The Libertines almost lost his eye within the first week of Alan managing them. They speak about the current state of the music business and share rock and roll stories from then to now. Scott and Alan touch base on Alan’s history and where the label is at today, the process of how bands are marketing themselves, and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
