Correspondent Anthony Mason visits Gallagher's native Manchester for a conversation with the musician about his past, his sibling rivalry, and what he regrets (if anything).

MC Big Shaq
Michael Dappah
Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher has revealed that he’s a big fan of fictional grime MC Big Shaq, of Mans Not Hot fame.
The alter ego of British comedian Michael Dappah, Big Shaq achieved fame earlier this year with his viral hit, Mans Not Hot.
Noel explained to Radio X’s Gordon Smart: “I came back from New York the other day and I was in the kitchen with my two lads who, as you know, are ten and seven.
“I told one of them to take his hoodie off while he’s having his lunch. He said – and I’d never heard it before - he said, ‘Mans not hot’.
“I was like, what? And he went, ‘Mans not hot’. And I went, ‘Who’s not hot?’. And he went ‘Man’."
“He was going on about Big Shaq. I’d never heard of this Big Shaq before, until three days ago. Man it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
He went on: “I was watching this Big Shaq feller and I was thinking it can’t be real. It turns out he’s comedian called Michael Dappah. And he’s a genius. He’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on the internet.”
When Gordon asked Gallagher if he’d take Big Shaq on tour, Noel replied: “Oh, I’d love to. If you’re listening Michael, get in touch we’ll do some gigs, it’ll be amazing!”
Maybe Big Shaq could play the scissors? He doesn’t like to take his coat off, just like Liam…

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'Interlude (Wednesday Part 2)' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “Wednesday was one long song, about four and a bit minutes, and I thought it was too long. Where the first interlude was, but there was a definite bit where we could have cut it into two. If Man Who Built The Moon is the epilogue, Fort Knox is the overture, and this is the bit where you’re walking out of the cinema as the end credits are going up.”

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'Interlude (Wednesday Part 1)' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “I reckon in the long run, people will adore this record because it’s got more records than the other two, for sure. But you know there’s still people who want to live through 1995, and that’s great. But we lived through 1995, and that’s kind of what we did then, it’s not what we do now. I must say to them if you’re in any way mildly disappointed by this record, then the next few years are not going to be fun for you. Because there’s no going back from here.”

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'Be Careful What You Wish For' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “The first two verses are a message to my children. About be careful, chasing fame, money, drugs, that sort of thing. David said, just put it out there, just write as many verses as you can, like Dylan. I wrote so many verses for that song, It was really long at one point, and I said this can’t be nine minutes long, so we edited it down. It’s gonna challenge perceptions of what it is I do. The challenge for me is on the tour, how do we get Be Careful what You Wish For and Half The World Away - that couldn’t be more different - to work in the same night and everyone goes home happy?”

Noel Gallagher spoke to Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio about writing his autobiography.
He said “I've been offered. quite a bit of money. But a few friends of mine have written books, for example, Johnny Marr, and it went on for years, I would say, "What are you up to?" "Oh, still writing a book!" And I was like, "I'm never gonna write a book, if it takes this long!" And I was saying to him. "How d'you go about it?" And he was saying, "Well, you devote four or five hours a day to it." I was like, "Four or five hours a day!" It's like being back at school, I suppose you could take the Keith Richards approach where you get someone else to write it.”
“But then it's someone else's words - I don't know. I did a tour blog once, which just freaked me out, it's like they'd call me and say, "Have you got your blog ready for today?" I'm like, "I've gotta come up with another one of these things! I have to make stories up now!"
“Maybe one day. I'd have to sell the idea to myself really.”

Noel Gallagher spoke to Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio and said Don't Look Back In Anger' is an “anthem for defiance” following the Manchester bombings earlier this year.
He said “It was amazing how people rallied round that song in the days after that, it was quite a thing. I get asked about it a lot, and I have been doing it recently and it almost gives me goosebumps really, that in the days after that, politicians' words weren't enough. The comforting words from experts on the news weren't enough, people rallied round a song, like old school. And the night I did it in Manchester, you've got these mixed emotions of ‘you live for these moments where what you've created has gone into people's lives. So you're there, and it's for all the wrong reasons. So, that song is, without it being an extraordinary song, it's an extraordinary thing, because for 20 years it was a song of no regrets, it's about a girl who's, maybe, was toasting her life passing her by, and now it's become this anthem for defiance”

Oasis
Noel Gallagher spoke to Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio about the the Oasis fan-cycle and getting them to accept a new style.
He said “They do have a sense of ownership of your thing. It's like with this record now, that's coming out, it's quite different to what I do, it's more electronic, people singing in French. The thing with Oasis is, it generates a new generation of fans every five or six years, and it feels like there's a generation that's come along now and they're really young, and they have an image of what they think you should be and they take ownership of it.”
“It’s definitely nice and all that, but when you're in the studio creating something, you can't think: what do my fans want? You can't think that. So, when you go to do the gigs, as long as you can play what you want, then you play what they want as well, you know, you give them a blast from the past then you’re all good”
“When you go and see Paul McCartney, it's like, imagine if he only did Wings' stuff, you'd be like: alright, we get it, come on, but... you know. Give us A Hard Day's Night.”

Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher spoke to Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio and told him he has two albums worth of songs ready to go.
He said “My producer, David Holmes, he just refused any song that I'd written outside of the studio, he didn't want to know. He wanted to be there, at the genesis of this idea, and then he would point me in a different direction.”
“Every time I would come up with stuff that sounded remotely like Oasis, or what I'd done before, he would stop me and say, "We've heard all that, you can do that next time. Why don't we focus on this germ of electronic music, and turn that into a song?" And I found it, for the first 18 months, 2 years, quite frustrating, because I've got a bank of songs at home, completed, ready to go out, I've got another two albums worth, easy. I've got a lot of songs that just need knocking into shape. But David Holmes would stroke my ego by saying, "The acoustic guitar thing, you're the greatest! You're the best in the world, nobody can touch you, but... you know, I don't like it!" …okay, well, okay - pass me the synthesiser.”

He siad “I think it's great! You have to be of the mindset that, if you're hailing a black cab, 99% certainty that the guy who pulls over is gonna be an Oasis fan. And, you know, "I won't charge you! You're given me so many great memories, son!", you know what I mean, "I won't charge you!" they say. It's like £2.60. "No, it's on me mate!" "Oh, thanks!"I saved 2.60 there.”
