Below are a few quotes from Noel Gallagher's interview with First And Last that will be broadcast on Sunday on BBC Radio 2.
On how his journey with Oasis began...
"I was on tour with Inspiral Carpets and called home [and asked], 'How's the other fella?' Mom said, 'Oh, he's in a band!' And I was like, 'He's in a band!?' And she's like 'He's in a band with... Bonehead'.
"So, I got back off some European tour, and they've got this band, it's called Oasis. And I went to see 'em and was like, 'Yeah, all right,' you know, they were good. And then, first they asked me to be their manager.... and then they asked me to join.
"And I remembered they call for me one Sunday, I went down. I was just sitting, playing guitar and their songs... The first gig we ever did was with theirs; there [were] none of my songs in it. And then, at one rehearsal, I remember our kid [Liam Gallagher] saying, 'Well, let's do one of yours, what have you got?' You've got tunes anyway.' So I was like, 'Okay, well, if I play that, you play this, you do that beat.'
"And then, at that moment, an explosion went off, because when you hear your own songs for the first time being played by other people, it's like, 'Oh, wow.' And I remember that being a hair on the back of the neck moment where it's like, 'This sounds amazing!' From that moment onward, I was obsessed with it, and still to this day."
On how his own songwriting has changed...
"I've learned, as a songwriter, not to overthink it, not to chase it. I've accepted that I've got a knack for melody. I'm not as good as people think I am. I think that's healthy. I can write a tune. But there's people who write better tunes than me and who've written better tunes than me. Even though I don't chase it, I never stopped digging. I mean, there's always something."
On if he still feels the weight of Oasis' success when writing new songs...
"I felt more of that weight when I was in Oasis. So, if I'm writing a song now, I don't think about 'Live Forever', or 'Supersonic' or 'Rock 'N' Roll Star', or 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'. I don't think about it. If you were to worry about that you'd never finish anything. It's just, you're here, in the now, there's a record coming out. People will enjoy it next year. Hopefully, people will have nice things to say about it. Because, as thick-skinned as I am, it is nice to read nice things about what you do. But if the record bombs, there's another one on the way already."
