Video: Noel Gallagher Interview With Danny Wallace

On the day that Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is released, the man himself came into Xfm Towers to chat to Danny Wallace...

They chatted about the chances of the album hitting number one in the face of stiff competition from Steps and Matt Cardle, plus their favourite Borises.

Noel confesses to Danny that "he's not that talented" (we don't believe him), his regrets about not being able to play Cigarettes And Alcohol the same way again, plus his thoughts on the mooted Stone Roses reunion.

Noel Gallagher On Stone Roses Reunion

It's all a bit "will they"... "won't they" as rumours continue about a forthcoming return from the band so we asked Noel for the inside view...

The rumour mill started turning over the weekend after journalists were invited to a "special press conference for a very important announcement" at a London hotel tomorrow.

A spokesperson for the band has refused to comment on the rumours or the nature of the event.

A message to the music press by original drummer Reni seemed to deny the speculation saying "Not before 9T will I wear the hat 4 the Roses again"

Reni quit The Stone Roses in March 1995 - the year before the band split - and was replaced by Robbie Maddix.

But tabloid reports this morning seem to suggest it is happening - with The Sun claiming lead singer Ian Brown confirmed the news in a text to a friend.

According to the paper the message read "We are going to rule the world again. It's happening."

So when the Mancunian music legend that is Noel Gallagher came in on the day his debut solo album - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - is released we had to ask him about his insider knowledge...

""It's not for me to say is it?" he answered, "it's not for me to say what I've heard."

When asked if he thought it would be a good thing if the band did reunite he crypitically replied, "I'd rather not say" before adding, "one legendary Mancunian band goes on ice... the road is open."

Noel Gallagher's Foul Smelling Lyrics

Noel Gallagher's son changed the words of his track 'If I Had a Gun' to rhyme with ''shoot poo out of my bum''.

Noel Gallagher's son changed the words to one of his songs to feature the line "shoot poo out of my bum".

The High Flying Birds rocker is father to three children - Anais, 11, Donovan, four and Sonny, 12 months - and said they are not only hard to please musically, but they mess around with his lyrics.

The former Oasis guitarist told Esquire magazine: "I've got three kids, so if you can get through three minutes of a song in our house without somebody throwing something at you, you're lucky.

"They were never big Oasis fans. There's a song on my new album, 'If I Had a Gun' - the lyrics go, 'If I had a gun / I'd shoot a hole in the sun' but Donovan, my eldest son, changed them to, 'If I had a gun / I'd shoot a poo out of my bum.'"

Noel - who is married to publicist Sarah McDonald - has a hard to please family, and his wife was initially unmoved by his new album with his High Flying Birds project, as it wasn't rocking enough for her.

Referring to Sara's favourite psychedelic rock band, he said: "I've got to say, my missus is not the biggest fan of anything I've ever done ever. She's a bit like - meh. It's not Kasabian, is it? Do you know what I mean?"

"There's one on the new album she really doesn't like. The last track. When she saw the track listing, she said "Oh, you've not included that bloody song have you?" Someone might like it. She's from Scotland, I know my place. She's more Northern than I am."

Noel Gallagher 'If Lady Gaga Asked Me To Do A Song For Her I'd Say Yes"

The other Oasis brother charts an entirely different course with 'High Flying Birds'

Two years after closing the door on his celebrated Britpop band Oasis, singer-songwriter-guitarist Noel Gallagher is back in the saddle with his solo debut, "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds", due in stores today.

After a decade with Oasis - one of the most successful rock bands of the '90s - Gallagher's solo excursion is being watched closely.

While brother Liam Gallagher's new group Beady Eyes sounds a lot like Oasis, Noel has taken a different approach, adding strings, trumpets and a choir.

Recorded in London and Los Angeles, the album was produced by Gallagher and Dave Sardy, who used to man the boards for Oasis too.

The album and touring band also feature former Oasis keyboard man Mike Rowe, Lemon Trees drummer Jeremy Stacey, ex-Zutons bassist Russell Pritchard and guitarist David McDonnell.

And now, live on the phone, it's Noel Gallagher!

High Flying Birds?

I just thought it sounded cool.

We haven't heard the album yet. What does it sound like?

I can't tell you what it sounds like, but I can tell what it doesn't sound like - it doesn't sound like stadium rock. It's kind of about escapism and hope, the longing to belong somewhere else.

We hear you wrote one of the songs in Thailand. True or false?

True: "Stop the Clocks" was written in Thailand, the last track on the album. I was in Phuket when I wrote that song. I always had a nice time in Thailand - nice food, nice people, nice shops.

Why did you choose "The Death of You and Me" as the first single?

I chose it because it sounded different from anything else I'd done before. It encapsulates the theme of the album, which is about hope, escapism and the sense of belonging. It's a great song, I think.

Why is the tour opening in Dublin next week?

I don't know. There's no particular reason, really. The production manager asked, "Do you fancy Dublin?" and I said, "Why not?" That was it. After Dublin we'll play Manchester, Edinburgh and London and carry on from there. And when people stop coming to see me, I'll stop.

Tell us a bit about your touring band.

These are people I've known for years. The keyboard player was with Oasis, and I asked him to join. The bass player called me up one day and asked if someone was playing bass, and I said nobody. He said, "Cool, can I do it?" And I said, "Yes!" And that was it.

Then the rest of the members came along, and here you go. We're not actually a band, really. High Flying Birds is just me.

Are they playing for you for just this album and tour?

I don't know - I was just going to do one tour with them, and after that I'm not sure.

Do you ever want to form another band?

Not really. I've been in a really great band like Oasis, and I don't think you can really reproduce that. I don't think I'll be able to break away from it, so I'm not going to try to. I'm proud of what I achieved with Oasis. I'm proud of the songs I wrote, the gigs that we did - everything.

How have you changed much over the years?

That's not a question I can answer, is it? You have to speak to my wife.

Do you prefer the way the music scene was back then to the way things are now?

Oh, I prefer it back then, of course. Now music has no soul anymore. Great music is still great music, but I prefer the scene back then. I liked going to record shops and buying records, and that was fantastic. There's no record shops anywhere now, so I have download music.

And I pay for it, for sure!

How's illegal downloading affecting your career?

A little bit. I'm not sure.

What bands do you like now?

I like Kasabian, because they write good songs.

Who would you like to collaborate with?

Neil Young.

What about cross-genre collaboration?

Maybe. It depends on a lot of things, but it's not something I think about, really. But if Lady Gaga asked me to do a song for her I'd say yes.

How do you like her music, then?

I don't have an opinion about that.

Anything you'd like to say to your Thai fans?

I hope you like my album and the songs mean something to you. I hope to see you all very soon.
