"We've always been that band that people get wrong. They can't understand what we're about," he tells NME. "More and more people are beginning to say, 'Oh, OK, I've gotten them totally wrong.'
Kasabian released their latest album, 48:13, earlier this year.
"We've had more apologies on this record than we've ever had before," Pizzorno continues. "People who've never really got it, people who saw the Glastonbury show or who lived with the record for a while and said to us, 'We just went along with what everyone else thought you were.'"
One of those who may have misunderstood the British rock band is folk legend Billy Bragg, who told NME that "[Kasabian] are there to remind us how true Spinal Tap was."
"It's always disappointing when someone like him stoops to that level, portrays themselves in that way," says Pizzorno in response to Bragg's quote. "It's a broadsheet, middle class way of thinking, man."
