Noel Gallagher
Oasis
On a rooftop patio looking out over Manhattan’s bright lights, Noel Gallagher is clutching a glass of white wine and making small talk with people he doesn’t know. Though the booze may be flowing at the launch party for his debut solo effort, High Flying Birds, there’s little sign of the legendary rock ’n’ roll hedonism that fuelled the early, swaggering Oasis albums. Gallagher proclaims confidence about Manchester City, the once-scrappy, now-nouveau riche football team he supports, and he admits he has sketchy recollections of growing up a few miles from its grounds: “too many drugs” in the interim.
Such substances are in the past, as is Oasis — more or less. Lounging on a sofa at a boutique hotel in the Bowery the next day, the singer and guitarist is somewhat subdued. He looks lean and fighting fit, but he’s still getting the hang of a solo career that began, effectively, in August 2009, when he quit Oasis after a bust-up with his brother Liam, the band’s lead singer.
The rooftop party, he says, made him slightly uncomfortable. “It’s quite strange on your own. … The focus is on you. It would have been nice to have been in a band last night.”
In his Oasis days, he was happy at the side of the stage — in control, as the primary songwriter, but out of the spotlight. Does he still feel this way?
“Oh yeah. I’d much rather be in a band,” he says, then stops short. “Let me rephrase that. Initially, when I started this, I was like: ‘This is a f–king pain in the arse; I don’t need this at my age’” — Gallagher is 44 — “being a frontman. And I might eventually grow into it. Each time I rehearse, I find it easier. I’m inching forward day by day.”
It’s odd to hear such introspection from someone so infamously mouthy, especially when the stomping tunes on High Flying Birds find Gallagher singing about riding a tiger and shooting a hole into the sun. The album, helmed by latter-day Oasis producer Dave Sardy and beefed out with a string section and a choir, sounds huge.
Its overriding theme, Gallagher says, is “escapism and the longing to be somewhere else. And then when you get there, is the grass really greener on the other side?”
Gallagher admits that he wrote the opener, Everybody’s on the Run, “toward the end of the band breaking up.” And although he doesn’t figure that’s what the song is about, he admits, “Who knows? Subconsciously that might have been in there when the words came.”
Not that he’s keen to speak of such things. Asked about the lawsuit for defamation launched against him by Liam this summer (and dropped shortly thereafter), he chuckles — “I don’t want to get sued again” — before admitting that the situation, to him, “was all a bit mad. I don’t take those things quite seriously. Somebody called me, explained what was going on, and I was like, ‘Really? F–kin’ ’ell.’ But whatever. We move on. That was last week. It’s something else next week.”
For years, he has been fond of telling interviewers that his brother has no sense of humour. Noel clearly does, but people don’t always get it. “Every f–king day, I do an interview, and I have a certain turn of phrase and way with words and semantics — somebody’s always taking offense to what I say. … I make a flippant comment about whatever, and all hell breaks loose. It’s just the thin ice I walk on.”
For all his protests, Gallagher clearly enjoys the interview process, and as he warms up, he holds forth about poetry books (“People buy me them for Christmas, because it’s nice to just throw open a page, read somebody’s words, and go, ‘F–king ’ell, it’s amazing’”), modern music (“The Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian — it’s strange to think that they’re the only two real new bands that are worth anything”) and the “cinematic” images on High Flying Birds (“I don’t know why it’s happened this time. Maybe it’s because I haven’t wrote [the lyrics] down and I am visualizing something. Maybe it’s just ’cause I’m a f–king genius”).
He makes the last comment with the hint of a smile, but here, it would appear he’s not entirely kidding. Being a solo act has its advantages: not only does he not have to work with Liam, but also, he can write all the songs. On later Oasis efforts, Gallagher loosened the reins, sometimes to unfortunate effect. “If you’ve got four songwriters, trying to make something that’s concise and has a direction is very difficult. For every Don’t Believe the Truth [2005], there was a Heathen Chemistry [2002].” As for High Flying Birds? “This is the best album I’ve written. Not ever … but for well over a decade.”
Now that he’s on a conversational roll, it’s easy to forget that scant minutes ago, he was lamenting his lack of experience as a lead singer and wondering if people would enjoy his shows. The only person who can convince Noel Gallagher that he’ll be reborn as a solo rock star, it seems, is Noel Gallagher himself.
“I came from nothing,” he says. “I taught myself to play the guitar. I’ve been in one of the biggest bands of all time, wrote some of the greatest songs … rock ’n’ roll to me is all about freedom of thought and to be whatever you want to be. It’s not about black leather jackets and f–king Jack Daniels and heroin. It’s just about being yourself. D’you know what I mean?”
Noel Gallagher performs at Massey Hall in Toronto Nov. 7 and 8. High Flying Birds is released by Sour Mash/Universal Nov. 8.

Noel Gallagher
Oasis
"Noel Gallagher's one of the best songwriters of his generation," says music producer Dave Sardy, who produced the last two Oasis records and Noel Gallagher's solo record "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds," due November 8th in the U.S. "I've worked with many artists including Johnny Cash, and Noel's on par with Johnny Cash. He's the real deal. He lives and breathes music. Even when Noel's just sitting down, playing his guitar to warm up, he is so talented and soulful, he has me and the engineers almost in tears."
Sardy was one of approximately 50 people who attended Soho House West Hollywood on Wednesday, where Filter presented a screening of High Flying Birds: Somewhere In Between, a compelling, revealing and entertaining documentary about the making of Gallagher's new record.
Despite being only 33 minutes long, the documentary packs in a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of the British rock star's artistic process, including studio time and detailed notewriting. The soundtrack is filled with songs from his new record, and Gallagher himself narrates the film.
High Flying Birds opens with Gallagher speaking about this new phase of his career. "It's very liberating. A Noel Gallagher audience? What is that? I don't know yet. We'll find out.”
The film's focus is on Gallagher's commitment to his art, his reverence for and deference to the tradition of songwriting, his perfectionistic nature and sense of humor.
Gallagher initially recorded the songs in England, but then sent them to Los Angeles producer Dave Sardywho had many suggestions and booked a flight to London to share his feedback with the nervous Gallagher. "I was thinking, well he's not coming over to tell me it's brilliant, that's for sure, 'cause he could do that on the phone. He's coming over to lay something on me." After Sardy's visit, Gallagher decided to hand Sardy the reins.
From there, Gallagher and his drummer Jeremy Stacy flew to Los Angeles to work at the legendary Sunset Sound recording studio and at Sardy's studio Hillside Manor.
In the film, Gallagher puts a lot of emphasis on the elusive songwriting process, calling his own method "Going fishing." "All I can do is sit with a guitar and wait and hope for something to happen. And that's what I do. I sit by the river and if I get a catch, great.”
Despite having written an array of hits for Oasis, Gallagher admits that he can't read music and that he's not a great guitarist or vocalist. "I'm not great at anything.” he says. “I'm great at being me and doing what I do. I try to write great songs. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it doesn't. I like the discipline of that."
On his new record, Gallagher says his focus is upon themes of love, hope and going on a journey. Despite professing himself to be a cynic, he says, "You've got to be strong enough for love. It's very easy to be cool and cynical. It's very difficult to just let yourself go and be in love. You've got to be strong enough for that."
At the documentary's end, Gallagher reflects on what it was like being in Oasis and hitting certain milestones, and then discusses his future as a solo artist. "I'm going to set the benchmark. A year from now there's be a benchmark and it might be down by my ankles or it might be way above my head. It may exceed everyone's expectations or it may just be alright. It may just be another album. Don't know yet. But that's the great thing about it. Who knows?"

Noel Gallagher
Yes comrades.
The gig at the BBC was great. Most enjoyable.
I like that BBC theatre. 200 people max. Like a little cinema. It's a bit weird though, eh? The crowd being about 2ft away? One is very aware of them. And they stare right into your soul - it was good craic though.
I enjoyed the banter. Right at the end though a blonde lady got up on stage, gave me a kiss, handed me an envelope and gave me the internationally recognised look that means, "You must read this". Nice envelope. Gold. With 'NOEL. X' written on the front. So far, so good. Now… back in the '90s a situation like this would've inevitably ended in a scenario that we'll have to leave to your filthy little imagination.
So anyway, back in the dressing room I gathered round the envelope - not unlike the scene from that film Pulp Fiction where Vincent Vega opens up Marsellus Wallace's stolen briefcase, you know the one? A shaft of golden light emanates from said briefcase on to Vincent's face and Jules says, "Are we cool?" Ok… that one.
So… open up the envelope. A little note… "Dear Noel…" Blah, blah, blah… Phone number… (Ok, get to the point woman!!)
Hang on? Surely not…
D'you know what she was offering?
Free driving lessons!! FREE FUCKIN' DRIVING LESSONS!!
Eat that Coldplay… You might be #1 in England AND America at the same time, but free driving lessons? That's where it's at, baby.
Am currently at Heathrow T5. Flying to the Yoo-knighted States.
Just bumped into Dave Hill from that band Slade!!
In a bit.

Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Pretty Green
The militaristic debriefings that journalists are often given before encountering Liam Gallagher are known to be almost absurdly stringent. Don't mention his kids, don't mention Patsy – one colleague of mine even got told to not mention his teeth during an interview which took place shortly after the singer had a number of them knocked out by Italian gangsters in a German bar in 2002. So as I prepare to meet the one-man whirlwind, it's to my great surprise that Gallagher's business partner and security man Steve Allen actually encourages me to bring up the subject of Oasis, despite the fact Gallagher himself has been keen to concentrate on his new projects of late. It feels distinctly like I'm being in led into an ambush but, as it turns out, it only takes the slightest of probing to find that Oasis have indeed been on his mind.
"I'm sure we're gonna get back together," he explains matter-of-factly as he sits in the bar of Robert De Niro's hotel in the TriBeCa district of Manhattan. "Noel's got to do his solo thing – and realise he's not that good without his younger brother. And then, 2015, the Morning Glory 20th anniversary tour. It was him that started the idea and now he's saying he's not up for it, but I am. If the people want it, then the people will get it." At first, it seems odd that Gallagher is already thinking of retreading old ground so quickly after Oasis split on that now infamous night in Paris back in 2009 when the tempestuous duo exchanged projectiles for the last time. But in the two years since, the singer has used the personal and creative freedom of life without Noel to rapidly develop into a renaissance man of sorts.
First came Beady Eye – formed with ex-Oasis members Chris Sharrock (drums) Gem Archer (guitar) and Andy Bell (bass) – who were playing their first shows just a few months after Oasis ended. Their debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding may not have set the world alight, but it was a far more robust and enjoyable rock'n'roll album than many people had expected, and put paid to the idea that Noel was the only member of Oasis who could write a tune.
"I was surprised that people were surprised," he offers. "The idea that we wouldn't be able to make a decent album between us is stupid. I know what I'm doing, Gem and Andy have been writing great songs for years so they know what they're doing. Why wouldn't it be good? It wasn't life-changing, but the next album... that'll be life-changing. It'll be a much more grander affair too, with strings. I'm really into All Things Must Pass by George Harrison at the moment, so I think we'll be going down that road a bit more. A bit Phil Spector-ish. I want it to be big-sounding. But there will be some rock'n'roll too. You've always got to have a bit of rock'n'roll."
The Pretty Green fashion line has also seen Gallagher harnessing his energy into what is turning out to be a very productive outlet. He freely admits that it's a vanity project (how can a fashion line be about anything else?), but one which he is fully committed too. After suffering a setback when the company's Manchester store was looted causing damages to the tune of a quarter of a million pounds, Pretty Green is about to open its eighth location, and has also been warmly received by the often-snooty fashion world.
Gallagher has also begun getting his feet wet in the film world. A script has been approved for The Longest Cocktail Party, which will be produced by Gallagher's company In 1 Productions with Michael Winterbottom tipped to direct. The film revolves around The Beatles' late publicist Derek Taylor.
"He's an unsung hero," beams Gallagher, "and I want to give him a chance to shine." He stops short of envisioning himself as a fully-fledged movie-mogul and seems nonplussed when I pitch him a vision of Liam Gallagher doing the rounds in Hollywood. But he is more than open to the idea of future projects – one of which people may find especially tantalising.
"Sometimes, when we've had a few drinks, we sit about telling stories and talk about putting them in an Oasis film," he reveals. "I'd be up for that. It'd be a long film but it'd be a film worth watching, believe me. It'd be a funny film and all. But I'd start it with Paris. I wouldn't want it to end on such a bummer. I'd start at the end and work my way backwards."
And so, despite my best efforts to concentrate on non-Oasis subjects, Gallagher brings the conversation back round to the band that defined him for so long and yet, given Noel's notoriously tight grip on the band's creative dynamic, left the younger Gallagher constantly playing second fiddle. The armchair psychologists of the world may cite this imbalance as being a major cause of Gallagher's confrontational tendencies in years gone by, but the civil and charming chap holding court today appears to be basking in the knowledge that he can make it without his older brother. And that, more than anything, seems to make the prospect of going back a much more palatable one.
"I've always had it in me to do Pretty Green and all the rest of it, but I think I may have been under Noel's cloud a little bit too much," he admits. "I've always wanted to do more than just sing other people's songs. If we get back together, it'll be a great trip down memory lane. But it's not the only road that's open to me anymore."

Liam Gallagher - 'Noel's Got To Realise He's Not That Good Without His Brother'
The militaristic debriefings that journalists are often given before encountering Liam Gallagher are known to be almost absurdly stringent. Don't mention his kids, don't mention Patsy – one colleague of mine even got told to not mention his teeth during an interview which took place shortly after the singer had a number of them knocked out by Italian gangsters in a German bar in 2002. So as I prepare to meet the one-man whirlwind, it's to my great surprise that Gallagher's business partner and security man Steve Allen actually encourages me to bring up the subject of Oasis, despite the fact Gallagher himself has been keen to concentrate on his new projects of late. It feels distinctly like I'm being in led into an ambush but, as it turns out, it only takes the slightest of probing to find that Oasis have indeed been on his mind.
"I'm sure we're gonna get back together," he explains matter-of-factly as he sits in the bar of Robert De Niro's hotel in the TriBeCa district of Manhattan. "Noel's got to do his solo thing – and realise he's not that good without his younger brother. And then, 2015, the Morning Glory 20th anniversary tour. It was him that started the idea and now he's saying he's not up for it, but I am. If the people want it, then the people will get it." At first, it seems odd that Gallagher is already thinking of retreading old ground so quickly after Oasis split on that now infamous night in Paris back in 2009 when the tempestuous duo exchanged projectiles for the last time. But in the two years since, the singer has used the personal and creative freedom of life without Noel to rapidly develop into a renaissance man of sorts.
First came Beady Eye – formed with ex-Oasis members Chris Sharrock (drums) Gem Archer (guitar) and Andy Bell (bass) – who were playing their first shows just a few months after Oasis ended. Their debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding may not have set the world alight, but it was a far more robust and enjoyable rock'n'roll album than many people had expected, and put paid to the idea that Noel was the only member of Oasis who could write a tune.
"I was surprised that people were surprised," he offers. "The idea that we wouldn't be able to make a decent album between us is stupid. I know what I'm doing, Gem and Andy have been writing great songs for years so they know what they're doing. Why wouldn't it be good? It wasn't life-changing, but the next album... that'll be life-changing. It'll be a much more grander affair too, with strings. I'm really into All Things Must Pass by George Harrison at the moment, so I think we'll be going down that road a bit more. A bit Phil Spector-ish. I want it to be big-sounding. But there will be some rock'n'roll too. You've always got to have a bit of rock'n'roll."
