Noel Gallagher Does Not Ever See Himself Playing Stadiums

Noel Gallagher does not think he will play at the same size venues as a solo artist, as he did with Oasis.

Speaking to the NME the former Oasis man said "I don't see me ever being able to stand on stage in a stadium, like a jobbing f**king minstrel with an acoustic guitar, and pull it off in a hour and a half. I just don't I've got that in me. Band's have got more power than f**king jobbing songwriters. Who was the last solo artist to play Wembley Stadium? George Michael.

He added "I don't ever see me playing stadiums. I don't think the demand will be there. I could probably do an arena in Manchester. Probably. But I don't know. I'm just going to see how it goes. it's a nice position to be in, and I've not been in this position since 'Definitely Maybe', where it's just like, 'Well put this album out, don't know what's going to happen.' Whereas in Oasis, you know what's going to happen. And that's great, but anything is possible and I'm not setting any limits on it. But I can safely say. it won't be anyway approaching being as big as Oasis were.never".

Noel Gallagher is set to release his debut album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' on through his own Sour Mash record label, on October 17th (this date will vary slightly internationally).

The album features ten new songs and was recorded over the past year in London and Los Angeles. It was co-produced by Noel and David Sardy, who Noel has worked with previously.

Noel Gallagher: People Stopped Listening To Oasis

Noel Gallagher has told the NME that he thinks people stopped listening to Oasis.

He told the NME "people kept coming to the gigs, but stopped listening. It's like if I was sat here today, doing a press conference for a new Oasis album... well I wouldn't be doing a press conference, would I. it'd be like, 'Oh Oasis have a new album out, so what,' That's just the way it is when you go on for so long. Does anyone care for a new Rolling Stones album? They go and see 'em, don't they."

No Free Downloads From Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher has told the NME that he will not give away his music for free as he values his music. He said that "I don't sit in the studio and f**king make it up as I go along, and go, 'this one's free, then.' I think if you just buy it, you as a listener value it more. I'm just not into free downloads, and that's an end of it."

He went on to explain "some of my favourite bands do it, like Kasabian for example, but it's not something I would even consider. I never considered it in Oasis, and I'd never consider it now."

Noel Gallagher Claims 'Liam Is A Born Liar' In This Week's NME

Noel Gallagher is on the front of the NME this week, with part two of a world exclusive interview, the ex Oasis man talks about his debut solo album, his live plans, and his brother Liam.

Solo Noel Gallagher Battles Coldplay

Noel Gallagher's first hurdle as a solo artist will be having to face Coldplay in a battle of the albums.

The guitarist will have a job on his hands to stay at the top of the charts for more than one week this autumn.

Chris Martin and the band are releasing their latest offering seven days later.

The former Oasis star issues his first solo album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, on October 17.

It's certain to race to No1, but a week later, on October 24, is when Coldplay have scheduled the release of their fifth collection.

It's not the first time Noel and Coldplay have been involved in a chart battle.

Back in 2005 Oasis' Don't Believe The Truth hit shop shelves seven days before the rockers' third album X&Y.

The reign of Don't Believe The Truth at No1 lasted just seven days.

At least we can look forward to an autumn of brilliant new music.

Andy Bell & Gem Archer Interview

Below is an interview with Beady Eye's Andy Bell & Gem Archer who talk about the next Super-Band, about being mistaken for a cover-band and about Manchester City.

Rain To Shine, Beady Eye Rocks Swiss Festival

Rain turned to sunshine on the last afternoon of the Gurten Festival Sunday, as Liam Gallagher, Beady Eye's hard-rocking front man, charged through songs from their new album.

Former Oasis frontman Gallagher and his band took advantage of the timely change in weather, lifting the packed crowd with "Four Letter Word," "Beatles and Stones" then rattled off "Millionaire" and "The Roller" _ their updates on classic British rock.

The audience sang along, and band camarderie was strong _ drummer Chris Sharrock threw a drumstick high in the air, and caught it without missing a beat on "Three Ring Circus," and similar antics from guitarists Gem Archer and Andy Bell _ all former Oasis members _ helped lift the crowd.

Liam's older brother, Noel _ Oasis' former main songwriter, lead guitarist and backing vocalist _ has announced that he, too, will be putting out a new album. The brothers' well-known antics and rivalry finally broke up the band, but at one time Oasis considered itself _ and perhaps was _ the biggest in the world.

But no one yelled for an Oasis' song Sunday, and there was a sense in the crowd that maybe they were seeing the beginnings of another great British band.

"You're beautiful!" Gallagher told an enthusiastic sea of faces, just before their last song in their hourlong set.

The four-day Gurten Festival, atop the hilltop of the Gurten overlooking the Swiss capital and the Bernese Alps, began Thursday and ended Sunday. A small train takes festival-goers up and down the hill, and attracts thousands of music lovers each year.

This year's festival also featured the Arctic Monkeys, who played later Sunday, Jamiroquai, Kasabian and dozens of other popular bands.
