English rock band Kasabian are pleased their career has panned out the way it has.
The Fire hitmakers - made up of Tom Meighan, Serge Pizzorno, Christopher Karloff and Chris Edwards - believe their careers would have ended in "disaster" if they rocketed to fame too soon.
Speaking to NME magazine, Serge said: "If the ambition was just to sell millions of records, then we'd have made it a lot easier for ourselves. We wouldn't have pulled so many moves along the way. We'd have played the game but we never wanted to do that.
"It's happened this way for a reason. It could have easily ended up in a graveyard. And if it had been a whirlwind, it would've been a disaster. We wouldn't have known what to do with it."
Serge further explained that the band would love to play a gig in London's Wembley stadium, adding, "In a stadium half the people aren't really in the mix because they're sitting down. I suppose there's some weird Britpop hangover ingrained in my soul that strives to make outsider music and take it to Wembley, it would be great to say you've done it and it would be a huge achievement."
