Noel Gallagher: My Wife Encouraged Me To Record Solo Album After Oasis

Noel Gallagher has admitted that his wife Sara Gallagher encouraged him to record his solo album after Oasis split up.

The guitarist and now solo star said he stayed in all day doing nothing following the band's acrimonious break-up in 2009.

Gallagher told the Press Association: "To be honest after Oasis I got back to London and sat in my house, smoked cigarettes, drank some tea and watched football -- and then it was my wife who said to me: 'When are you going back to work?'

"And I was like, 'Hum'. And she asked, 'When?' and I said 'I don't know'. And she said 'Well what about next week?' You know what women are like. As long as you're not in their house they like you even better!"

Gallagher said that when he went into the studio it was “great”, adding that it was a “completely different experience” from recording with Oasis.

Noel Gallagher's debut solo album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' is released on Monday (October 17).

Will Johnny Depp Star In Liam Gallagher's 'Beatles' Biopic?

They're the greatest pop/rock band in music history, yet somehow there haven't been a whole lot of films about The Beatles. No, Across the Universe does not count.

But that's about to change as Michael Winterbottom takes the helm of The Longest Cocktail Party. The film, which is based on the Richard DiLello book, showcases the most crucial moments in the band's career between 1967 and 1970.

Michael is also set to produce it with Andrew Eaton. But the whole project was given birth by the original producer and Oasis front-man Liam Gallagher. It was his idea to turn the book into a movie, and it is also his idea to cast Johnny Depp as Derek Taylor, the band's publicist.

Unfortunately, Andrew is feeling some creative differences there. He's not sure Johnny would be the best fit for the role, saying: Johnny in a way would be great. But the trouble is, Derek Taylor, who’s the main character, who’s the press officer, he’s from Liverpool, and he’s probably 32 or 33 in the story, whereas Johnny Depp is 48 or something, and American, so it’s more than just the age gap. There are other parts he could do, but whether he could be Derek. … I don’t know.

Okay, well first of all, who cares if he's American?!?! Have you never seen the man act? He can be British any day of the week.

And second, the age difference, okay. We can kind of get that (though we're sure the right make-up could alleviate the problem), but having Johnny aboard would be a marvelous thing for the film.

Fusing one of the greatest bands with one of the greatest actors? Come on, no brainer!

Noel Gallagher On Feuds And The Future

Expect psychedelia at Noel Gallagher’s 0lympia gig but no dance moves, he tells Eamon Sweeney, as he talks about Liam, learning to be a frontman and why he might still sing Oasis songs.

'It's no secret or coincidence that all the great songs in the world from the dawn of popular music up to now all deal with an emotion, whether it be loss, love, sadness, longing or happiness," says songwriter, guitarist, one-time member of the biggest band in the world and seasoned raconteur Noel Gallagher.

Once upon a time, you'd expect him to say something more along the lines of "we're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world."

If the tombstone reads 'Oasis 1991-2009', then 2011 is the year that the respective Gallagher brothers attempt to prove that there's life after being in one of the last of the gigantic super bands.

Taking time out from rehearsals in Bermondsey in Southwark, London, Noel is in typically sparkling and chatty form on a sunny patio outside the studio.

"I've never really sung about my life apart from the Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory era, when I had a life that was somewhat recognisable to the people who bought the records," Gallagher says.

"Then we went crazy and what have you got left to sing about? How great it is to pre-board and how good is first-class? I was in the wilderness for a while on what to write about, so I just wrote esoteric gibberish until about eight years ago when I came out of it. Even though I was successful and had money and all that shit, I still know what it is like to be sad or frustrated or want to run away. You write from a place of truth."

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (basically, whoever is around to play with him rather than a new band) is an album about a couple's love, hope, companionship and yearning to escape. "It could be a boyfriend and girlfriend, man and wife, father and son, mother and daughter, best friends, it doesn't matter," Noel elaborates. "I only realised it had a narrative when I typed the lyrics out for my publisher."

It's also the first of two albums, as Noel has collaborated with The Amorphous Androgynous, another alias for The Future Sound of London.

"I can't blow the kids' minds too early," he says laughing. "They'll think I've gone completely mad. It's jazz, space reggae. If my songs on the High Flying Birds album are slightly psychedelic in places, The Amorphous Androgynous project takes that and stretches it to its limit. I won't go any further out than this. There's nowhere further to go."

While Noel has made an accomplished debut, there's a little elephant on the patio in the shape of Noel's notorious younger brother with a more pronounced Mancunian accent and prone to singing "shiiiiiine".

A tabloid newspaper this morning is emblazoned with the front-page headline "Liam sues Noel". Of course, a bit of bickering between the brothers is absolutely nothing new. Liam has since reportedly dropped his action concerning a row over his clothing line Pretty Green and cancelling a concert due to laryngitis, but what's a little surprising was Ride, Oasis and Beady Eye guitarist Andy Bell wading in and accusing Noel of "spinning the press" and lying "about a lot of things".

"Andy is entitled to Liam's opinion," Noel says. "I know how things come out in the press and they look bad in print. I've done enough interviews where I've been misquoted, so I don't take things like that seriously. When they see them in black and white, they're up in arms about it. I've better things to worry about than what people say to me in the press. There's more to life. I've three kids. Rastamouse is on [an animated, reggae-singing mouse in case you didn't know] see you later! Life's too short. I've got no problem with anyone in that band or anything they've ever said."

What? Even Liam? "Yes, everyone's entitled to their opinion," Noel answers. "One situation will go down and 50 people might witness it and they'll have 50 different stories about what happened. That's life. It isn't right or wrong. It's just an opinion. The end. At the end of the day, no one gives a shit."

Oasis had millions of fans, surely they care?" They don't fucking care!" Noel laughs. "It's been two years. It's done. It's over."

Is it a relief or a hindrance that it's all over? "It was shit at the end and it wasn't a nice atmosphere, but if you're asking me if I'd rather be playing Wembley next year or the Olympia, I'd rather be playing the likes of Wembley or Slane," he answers. "It's a shame that Supersonic and all those great anthems will never be heard again. I have to learn to be a frontman and that's a pain in the bollocks."

What possibly isn't such a pain in the proverbials is Noel's newly found creative freedom. "It's a hard sell in a band to sell trumpets to people who are only into rock'n'roll," Noel says. "We were very set in our ways as a group and I was cool with that. Stadium rock is a great medium and I loved it. When I sat down to write songs I thought about playing them in stadiums and blowing the back walls off."

Noel is brutally honest when he admits to being a bit apprehensive on reassuming live duties without the Oasis circus. "It's already freaking me out doing rehearsals," he confesses. "My brain rules my entire being; my heart doesn't rule my head, my head rules my heart. Not a lot of people know this, but my monitor has never been switched on in 20 years. The first night in Dublin ain't going to be fucking easy for anyone, including the audience. I'm quite liable to go three songs in, 'this is shit isn't it? This is shit. How about I'll buy everyone a drink if no one mentions it ever again?'"

Noel has a little bit of previous in carrying the can. In December 1997 during a run of three shows at the Point Depot, he was forced to assume frontman duties. "A regular occurrence," he recalls. "Where's he [Liam] gone? Dunno. No reason. Just gone. What I have to my advantage is people recognise my voice. Johnny Marr and John Squire went solo. I can't think of many more guitarists who've gone solo. I'm a songwriter. I'm not a tunesmith and I write the whole song. People recognise my voice from Don't Look Back in Anger and The Importance of Being Idle, which were both number ones. They won't be going, 'Fucking hell! Is that what he sounds like? He sounds like a Rasta'."

Liam and Beady Eye have so far stayed true to their word that they won't play any Oasis songs, but Noel has different ideas in tackling the songs he's know for singing himself. "They're a band and they wouldn't want to turn into an Oasis covers band, that's for sure, but the songs that I play are not Oasis songs anymore, they're my songs," he says.

"I'm not like Morrissey, who co-wrote everything, or Ian Brown. I don't remember anyone being around when I wrote Don't Look Back in Anger or Wonderwall. Gradually, over the 10 years that Gem, Andy and Liam were writing songs, songs started piling up in the corner."

The Dame Street soiree will be a low-key live debut for a man who played to a quarter of a million people at Knebworth. "I could fill it with family alone," Noel agrees. "I've had bigger after-show parties than what I'm about to do in the Olympia."

Speaking of family, it's fitting that Peggy Sweeney's son is launching his tour on Irish soil. "I always find that the old traditional songs that I like particularly, like Dirty Old Town, there is a sense of strength in the sadness," he says.

"Every knows about a dirty old town, it's Dublin, it's Manchester, it's Leeds, it's Salford. Everybody knows it, even though you've never worked in the gasworks. There's strength in the sadness and only the Celts can do it. The Scottish, the Irish and the Welsh. It's no surprise that U2 are as big as they are and maybe Echo & the Bunnymen weren't. Some Might Say is probably the most Irish thing I've ever written. It's like, 'This is shit, but tomorrow might be great so let's just fucking have a drink and worry about it in the morning'."

Gallagher is slightly worried about the imminent live dates right now, whatever about the morning. "If the rehearsals that we've been doing here the night before the gig aren't right, I'll fake my own disappearance," he jokes.

"I'll vanish into a puff of smoke and never be seen again. It's going to be good, but my point is that I've got to learn to be a frontman in front of an audience, not in front of a mirror with a tennis racket. I'm too old for that now. In between songs, you'll get the inevitable, 'Where's Liam?' I'm liable to say something contentious and it'll become a headline and overshadow the gig."

Perhaps he shouldn't fret, as his solo debut is a suite of exceedingly fine tunes, notably AKA ... What a Life and Stranded On the Wrong Beach.

"I'm hoping the songs will carry me through," Noel maintains. "But tell your readers there's nothing to see. I haven't got any moves. I haven't got any jokes. I won't be doing amateur king fu like Ian Brown, and I won't be doing any David Brent dancing. It'll just be me strumming a guitar playing a song."

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is out next Friday. He plays the Olympia on Sunday, October 23. The album is reviewed on page 10

Noel Gallagher On The High Flying Birds And More

Big brother’s back with a new album. Noel Gallagher has a frank exchange with LAUREN MURPHY. (Parental advisory: explicit content)

I’M SITTING across a picnic bench from Noel Gallagher at his rehearsal space in sunny east London, sort of wishing I hadn’t just asked a particular question about his former band. While Gallagher’s past in Oasis is inescapable when it comes to talking about his fledgling solo career, the accusations that have been levelled against him by their former (now current Beady Eye) guitarist Andy Bell are considerable. Less than a week before we meet, Bell publicly accused Gallagher of lying on multiple counts about the reasons for Oasis’s split in 2009.

Gallagher’s reaction to those charges? He pauses, weighing up the question, jaw momentarily tensed and brow fleetingly furrowed. “Well,” he says with an offhand shrug, “Andy’s entitled to Liam’s opinion, isn’t he?” Gallagher’s deadpan wit is famous, but amid the zingers are serious observations. For starters, there’s the important matter of his solo endeavour, which begins with the release of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

*ON GETTING HIS SOLO CAREER KICK-STARTED

“Why now? Well, because I loved being in that band . It was great. I wanted to do it for a while, but something always managed to get in the way. Sony were hassling me to do it since right after Knebworth, but for whatever reason . . . Well, it’s typical me. I never really do anything unless I absolutely fuckin’ have to. I am the master of putting things off until tomorrow. And it was nice to get away from music for a while. And just be. Just live. I’m not one of those artists who constantly needs to be doing something to validate themselves. I’m not arsed about that, d’you know what I mean? My life outside of music is as important to me. I could literally while away the years watching TV.”

* ON THE PROSPECT OF BEING A FRONTMAN FOR THE FIRST TIME

“I’ve never stood in front of the mirror with a tennis racket and thought what I might look like. And it’s a fucker, really, because frontmen either (a) have that show-off gene, which is why Mick Jagger and all that are such great frontmen, or (b) by the time you get to see them, as a journalist – they’ve had at least five years’ practice in front of the mirror. See, I’ve gotta fuckin’ learn how to do it now in front of a load of people with notebooks and a paying, expectant audience. So that’s gonna be . . . well, it’s not ideal, and I’m kind of ready for a bit of flak.”

* ON THE COMPARISONS TO BEADY EYE

“Oasis, in its essence, was always me writing all the songs, and Liam singing all the songs. I’ve still got friends in that band, but I’ve never been in Beady Eye, so Beady Eye should be allowed to stand on their own. Saying that, it was born out of one of the great bands of the last 20 years, whether people like to admit it or not, for its sense of music and what it meant to people. So that’s something that everyone is gonna have to live with. When I’m doing Oasis songs, I’m gonna have to live with the comparison. You just gotta ride that shit out.”

* ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS

“I’ve never, ever sat down – apart from Be Here Now – and gone, ‘Right, today I’m starting to write the album’. I write all the time. With this one, I had 38 songs to choose from.”

* ON UNWITTINGLY HITTING UPON A THEME

“I don’t know whether you noticed, but the lyrics are really fucking good on this record. And that’s because I’m not making them up; they’re coming from a place of truth. It was only when I started to type them out that it dawned on me that there was a narrative going through it: it was love, and hope, and the dreams of belonging somewhere else, and escapism, and life in the big city. . . ”

* ON HIS EXPECTATIONS FOR THE ALBUM AND TOUR

“Yeah, it’s great and all, but I’ve had bigger fucking aftershow parties than this. Everyone’s going ‘It sold out in minutes!’ but I’m like ‘Well, I could fill that fucking room with cousins, easy. Two nights, just family.’ I don’t know how it’s gonna do. I just know the record’s good – very good.

The people will decide whether it’s great, and the people will decide how big the venues I play in the future are. The bigger the better, for me. I don’t like playing small venues. People start fucking talking to you, saying stuff like ‘Where’d you get your shoes?’ I dunno. Fuck off!”

* ON PLAYING OASIS SONGS

“I don’t recall anyone being around when I wrote Don’t Look Back in Anger and Wonderwall . They’re my songs. And I’ll play them. The end.”

* ON THE POSSIBILITY OF AN OASIS REUNION FOR (WHAT’S THE STORY) MORNING GLORY’S 20TH ANNIVERSARY

“Liam’s been quite vocal about the thought of it making him wanna do a little bit of sick. So I don’t need to add anything to that.”

* ON BEING CONTENT WITH LIFE

“How can you not be happy if you’re 44, you’ve got three beautiful kids, a beautiful wife who drives a beautiful car and lives in a beautiful house and blah blah blah. Really, you’d be a bit of a c**t to sit in front of anybody and go, ‘Well, life’s a bit shit.’ Life is not shit. And by the same rule, you cannot write about your great life, because that’s a bit weird. But I still know what it’s like to be frustrated and sad, and I still know what it feels like to want to run away sometimes.

“God, I fucking hate people who say they’ve never changed. They’re just fucking annoying fuckwits, aren’t they? You’re born on the dole in a house with no carpet on the floor, right? And you end up being in one of the biggest bands of all time and selling out three nights at Wembley . . . supermodels, and drug addictions, and No 10 Downing Street, and all the fucking money in the world and . . . has it changed you? ‘No, not a bit, actually. I’m still the same fucking lad I was.’

“Fucking do me a favour. Of course you change, y’know what I mean? I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be worried about paying the rent. I don’t have to worry about that any more. I worry more about which school my kids are gonna go to.

“But in your essence, in your soul, you’re still the same. I’ve got one advantage over people who are in the same circumstances as me, ’cos I came from nothing. And my parents before me came from even less than that.

“So I know what it’s like to have no carpet on the floor, I know what it’s like to be on the dole, I know what it’s like to be addicted to drugs. But I also know what it’s like to play Wembley Stadium.

“What a life, eh? What can I say? It’s had its ups and downs.”

* Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds is released today. He plays Dublin’s Olympia on October 23.

Oasis 'Sideman' Noel Gallagher Goes Solo

Two years after a bitter blow-up with his brother Liam drew the curtain on Britpop sensation Oasis, Noel Gallagher makes the jump from "sideman" to frontman as his solo debut hits shelves on Monday.

"I was a sideman for 20 years and I ... loved it," said the 44-year-old, who always cut the quieter figure as guitarist and main songwriter for Oasis, while the wilder Liam supplied the rock n' roll antics front of stage.

"I don't like being at the center of attention. I hate surprise parties, and I hate people wishing me happy birthday," he told AFP.

"But once you've been in a band like Oasis what's the point of being in another band? There's only one option and that's doing it yourself."

Sibling tensions between the Manchester duo exploded ahead of a Paris show in August 2009 spelled the end of a band that spearheaded the Britpop music movement of the mid-1990s with its guitar-driven, Beatles-inspired pop.

Now both are vying for attention once more with "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds" released on Monday by Sour Mash Records/Pias, eight months after his little brother's debut with his new band, Beady Eye.

Noel Gallagher admits he was "upset" by the acrimonious split-up, and that it took more than a little prodding to get him back in the recording studio.

"To be honest after Oasis I got back to London and sat in my house, smoked cigarettes, drank some tea and watched football -- and then it was my wife who said to me: 'When are you going back to work?'

"And I was like, 'Hum'. And she asked 'When'. And I said 'I don't know'. And she said 'Well what about next week?' You know what women are like. As long as you're not in their house they like you even better!"

So he gathered all his material together -- he says he never stopped writing songs "whenever the feeling takes me" -- and set to work.

"As soon as I was in the studio it was great," Gallagher enthused. "It was a completely different experience" from the Oasis days. "The process of the work was far more enjoyable for me."

"I would spend two weeks in the studio, and then take three weeks off. But in those two weeks I would work 12 hours a day non stop, and I'd eat while working 'cause there's too much to do.

"Whereas in Oasis, I would do my bit and then sit down for six hours and wait for someone else to do their thing."

The 10-track "flying birds" album was recorded in London and Los Angeles over an 18-month stretch, along with a second album, an as yet untitled collaboration with psychedelic outfit "Amorphous Androgynous" that is set for release in 2012.

Noel Gallagher wrote the lion's share of Oasis' hits, but left most of the singing to his brother, so his solo work reveals a little-known side to the artist: his voice.
"I got a new voice! I had a voice transplant!" he joked when asked about the singing. "What happened ? I don't know."

"I've always enjoyed singing but I've never enjoyed being a singer. I was guitarist, so on 20 songs I would write, I probably sung four. And those songs would be on B-sides.

"My voice has got better, it has got older. I don't know why. I still smoke, I still drink, I still stay up late, I still do all the ... things I always used to do."

Was it a tough decision to return to the fray after Oasis?

"Yeah, but it's what I do," Gallagher said. "Not to sound arrogant, but I had all these songs already written, and if I've been given a gift then I owe it to people to share it.

"I don't do it for money or for fame or any of that. It's just that when I've written songs I have to play them to people, it would be a shame not to.

"What would happen if when I die people discover 60 great songs. They'd go: what [an] ... idiot! You know what I mean?"

Noel Gallagher Not Mad For Email

Noel Gallagher doesn't like receiving emails because it takes him such a long time to type out his replies.

Noel Gallagher hates getting emails - because it takes him so long to write a response.

The technophobic rock star only recently entered the computer age and he gets frustrated by the messages he receives because his typing skills are so poor when he has to write back.

He said: "I have 150 emails everyday. Emails containing something where someone could call me up and ask me, Noel, do you want to do such and such and I'd say thanks - done. It takes me 40 minutes to send an email."

Noel - who releases his debut solo LP, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', next week - bought his first ever computer last December.

The 44-year-old musician admits he was talked into purchasing a totally inappropriate computer when he went the shops.

In an interview on UK station BBC Radio 2, the former Oasis guitarist explained: "I've got an iPad and I got a computer at Xmas. Other than entertainment, what are they for? They're not for anything! The guy in the shop, he's seen me coming. My older brother he came round at Xmas and said, 'You've not got a computer?' So I got an iPad. The next logical thing is to get a computer. So I go to the place and I say to the guy, I don't know nothing about any of this but I feel like I should have a computer. He said right, follow me and he talked to me and it all sounded like nonsense but I thought I'll buy it because I didn't want to look an idiot.

"I got back to the office and I pulled out the computer and everyone said, 'What have you got one of those for?' This thing it's so big, it's what professional people who design space shuttles use. I very rarely plug it in."

Noel Gallagher Plays Down Expectation

Noel Gallagher isn't famous for his modesty. But he's not ashamed to admit his solo career with the High Flying Birds will always be eclipsed by his time in Oasis.

He said: "To recreate that success with a different band is going to be very difficult. People are going to judge it, but that's fine. We have to live with that and we are ready."

H from Steps knows how that feels.

With High Flying Birds tour dates on the horizon, people will be able to decide for themselves before long.
