El Mundo

What inspires you most, love or hate?

Hatred has never inspired me. And I don’t think this is something that I have really experienced. I want to say that apart from terrorism I don't hate a lot of things. Love provides a lot more inspiration than the negative side of life. It is obvious that there are people who write songs about pain and sadness, like fucking Radiohead and damned Adele, but love is something much more noble to talk about. Falling in and out of live, finding love, detaching. It's one of the things that makes us human, and in the course of your life you fall in love with almost everything, your parents, your pets, music, girls, politics ...

What do you think of United Kingdom leaving the European Union? 

I support it.

Politicians ... 

They're idiots. They let Hitler did the same thing in 1938 and in 1939, annex this country and then this territory and then the ... The only thing you have to do when you face things like that is the fucking war and who dies in war is our working class, our young people. I understand that the rulers don’t want to send people to war, but sitting there with their idle hands they will irrevocably lead us to that.

I was going to say that you do not have a good opinion even of those who rule.

The only concern of politicians is the perception that one has of them through the media. They don’t give a fuck about people. We live in a very strange world, liberal and politically correct, in which one can speak of massacred people in the streets ... until you insult the people who made it. And this madness means that one takes refuge in his own little family and give them to everyone else. It deprives you of your natural goodness, soul, the one that tells you to help others. However, as there are evil people and rulers who either remain paralyzed or tell you to turn the other cheek, people today - and I'm not among them - are losing their humanity.

Do you usually compose on tour?

Well, now that you mention it... In my previous tours, I wrote many songs, and on this one, not one. What I do is listen to lots of music.

What was the last new band that has impressed you?

Jungle, definitely. They're from London, and they're kinda like Sly & the Family Stone of the 21st century, they're brilliant.

Who knows, maybe at some point you influenced them. Do you often think about your enormous influence in the music of the last quarter century?

I know my songs mean the world to many people around the planet, but no, I do not usually think about it. In fact, when I'm not thinking about music, I usually only think of football.

You have achieved almost everything in the music world. But, is there something else you'd like to do?

Yes, I want to compose a soundtrack one day. But, you know why? So I can go to the Oscars with my wife and tell a few directors that their films are shit, haha! And it would be great to win an Oscar.

Having the power to reunite Oasis when they please must be like having within reach the nuclear button, right?

Haha! The question is, what for? To make lots of money? I have lots of money. To do something enjoyable? What I'm doing with the High Flying Birds is very enjoyable. To make people happy? I'm already doing that with my new band. Anyway, I'm a man who moves by instinct. If tomorrow I wake up in my Madrid hotel thinking that reuniting Oasis would be great, I'd do it.

What do you think of Axl Rose going to be the singer in the AC/DC tour?

Oh god, that can't happen.

The rumor continues to grow... Pictures have appeared of them coming out of rehearsal together.

Really? (He puts his hands to his face and backs down on the couch) Oh no, they're crazy. I'll just say one thing: That would be as ridiculous as Adele singing with the Supremes.

Did you like the last Blur album?

Mmm... Yes, there's three good songs. Perhaps four.

Thanks to frjdoasis and Jessica.

Noel Gallagher On Axl Rose Joining ACDC

Photos have emerged of Axl Rose leaving AC/DC’s rehearsal space making it look even more likely that he’ll replace Brian Johnson as the band’s frontman, but it’s not the decision that Noel Gallagher would’ve made.

Gallagher played Bluesfest over the weekend with his band Noel Gallager’s High Flying Birds and has also been playing sideshows. Triple M spoke to the ever-outspoken Gallagher backstage at his gig in Sydney where he offered up his opinion on Rose potentially joining the legendary Aussie band.

“Wrong, that’s wrong,” Gallagher told host Matthew Johns before he was prodded about what would happen if brother Liam Gallagher asked to join his band.

“It would never happen would it,” he said.

“What would I say to him? I’d say behave yourself mate.”

Gallagher has in the past had some very colourful things to say about his brother, so that is probably a tame response by comparison. Recently, he shut down rumours of an Oasis reunion on the South American leg of Lollapalooza telling The Mirror, “Liam is a very angry man still.”

“He tends to make the easiest things really difficult,” he said.

Despite the fact that Liam probably wouldn’t be up for it, Noel thinks that he could tour the songs without Liam one day,

“I could see a day where, myself, I could do shows with just Oasis songs,” he said.

“I might think about it. There might come a day, one day, where it might seem like a good idea, but I have so much I want to do on my own.”

Noel has been playing as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds since 2011 while Liam formed Beady Eye in the same year. The latter band broke up at the end of 2014.

Oasis Go Dubstep In New DJs From Mars Mash-Up

Mixing two tracks together and calling it a mash-up is so old hat - especially since Glee started doing it on a weekly basis on US TV.

So it's down to professional mash-up merchants DJs From Mars to rescue the art, mixing Oasis, AC/DC and Skrillex vs Knife Party into one enormous remix monster.

The mix begins inconspicuously enough, with Liam Gallagher's 'Wonderwall' blending perfectly with AC/DC's 'Back In Black' guitar backing. However, with dubstep and dance masters Skrillex and Knife Party's 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites' in the mix as well - things change pretty damn quickly. Toss in a line from Blackstreet's 'No Diggity' and you have one of the most unexpectedly brilliant mixes of 2012 so far.

The Gallagher brothers have never sounded like this before.

Listen to DJs From Mars' 'Back To Wonderwall' mash-up below.
