Noel Gallagher: It’s Not About Whiskey And Heroin

The hard-partying songwriter, now on his own, laughs off the last decade of Oasis and looks to his solo future.

On a rooftop patio looking out over Manhattan, 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 fueled 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 on 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 fucking 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?”

Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Seven

That gig last night was a bit odd, eh? It was good like, just not as good as the night before. Not got to the bottom of why, it just didn't seem to fly for me. Never mind… can't be great every night, can you?

I'll say adios, or even au revoir to you Canadian people. Thanks for coming out, etc., and we'll see yiz soon.

I noticed summat strange on the menu this morning as I was ordering breakfast. You know sometimes they have specific kinds of pretentious breakfasts on the menus? i.e. "Power Breakfast" (for people who need more power, presumably?), "The Healthy Breakfast" (for people who don't do breakfast), etc…

Well, there was one on the menu which really, in hindsight, I should of had just to see if there would've been any obvious benefits from it. It was called - and I'm not even remotely taking the piss here… - "THE FAST AND FURIOUS BREAKFAST" (for men that do the Haka).

Ok… the bit about the Haka is made up. It basically consisted of coffee... that's it! Anyway, I didn't try it, me being mid-paced and content and all that.

We flew into the United States of America this afternoon, which gave me the opportunity to resume the never-ending battle of wits with the border police.

Rozzer: "What is the purpose of your visit, sir?"

Me: "I'm here to love your country and its people until they love me back equally… sir."

Rozzer: "You're free to go."

Me: "Thanks very much."

We're in NYC. The greatest city in all of the world. Not playing here until next weekend though, just a flying visit.

Two days of relentless promo. I've actually just looked at the schedule and it's ludicrous. 12 bastard hours of it!!!!! What more do you people need to know?

There's actually a thing called "VH1 LIVE BREAKFAST" at 7am, or summat!!! It wouldn't surprise me in the fuckin' least if I'm woken up by a film crew and some shiny happy presenter who's come to interview me while I'm in my full Man City kit eating my granola… I'd best check that's not actually gonna happen.

Playing on that David Letterman show tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

I'll pass on your bests, eh?

IN A BIT.

GD.

Noel Says Recording His Album Felt Like Recording The First Oasis Album

In the summer of 1996, Oasis were at the peak of their career. The Gallagher brothers had been declared legends, and in front of the castle Knebworth they were crowning their success with the biggest double concert ever in the United Kingdom — in front of 250,000 fans.

Fifteen years later Oasis have split up, brothers Liam and Noel only communicate through their lawyers and they have separate music careers. Liam has Beady Eye, and last month Noel released “Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds,” his first solo album.

“F—in’ hell,” Noel swears and sighs while flipping through messages on his phone. “You can start asking your questions now.”

Before the 1996 castle concert, Noel answered questions sitting on a throne. Now Metro meets him slouching in a beige sofa; an aging icon, and a father of three.

He has been talking to the media all day, and looks tired.

This is your first solo album. How has it been different recording “Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds” compared to working with Oasis?

I guess you can imagine the differences. It used to be five guys who were painting, now I’ve been alone with the brush.

What’s the biggest difference writing songs at 30, compared to when you’re 44? Have the lyrics and the music changed?

The circumstances in my life have absolutely changed — I have three kids now. And a cat. But no, I don’t think it has affected my song writing. I don’t write songs about my amazing kids — that would be a pretty boring album. I hope that whoever listens should see something of themselves in my songs.

You have said that the recording of this album reminded you of the time when you made “Definitely Maybe.”

The similarities are that this is my first solo album and that was Oasis’ first album. The excitement about the unknown is the same, I think. We didn’t have an audience then — and I don’t have an audience now.

How are things between you and brother Liam?

We haven’t spoken in two years.

How does that feel? He is your brother after all?

But he isn’t your brother. And if he were, you wouldn’t talk to him either.

Will there ever be an Oasis reunion?

I doubt it. When I close my eyes I can’t see it. And, when I listen to my soul I don’t want it.

On This Day In Oasis History...

The videos below are from the 10th November 2008, when Oasis played at the Bataclan in Paris, France.

Liam Gallagher On The Carlos Tevez Situation At Manchester City

Liam Gallagher has been questioned by the NME on the what he thought on the Carlos Tevez situation at Manchester City, with him being in exile from the team after allegedly refusing to come on as a sub against Bayern Munich.

The Manchester City fan told the NME "Right... Tevez is our mate, isn't he, he's lent us his box and that a few times, so he's always been cool. But what I would say is no-one's bigger than f**king Man City. So, at the end of the day, I hate to say it, but... f*ck 'I'm, you know what I mean? If you don't get on and help your team out when they're 2-0 down then there's something f**king wrong with you. Plus, you're getting paid £250,000 a week. And I'd hate it if it was another player for another team, I'd be pissed off even if it was some geezer at Ipswich. It's just not cool, that shit like that... But I still think he's a mega player."

When questioned further on if he is prepared to forgive the Argentinean footballer? Liam said "(Munificently) Yeah. He is forgiven."

Carlos Tevez is facing a new row with Manchester City and a possible fine of two weeks' wages after the Daily Mail reported he returned to Argentina without permission on the same day as telling the club he would accept a two-week fine for his actions at Bayern Munich in September.

Liam Gallagher Tells Adam Ant To "Bring It On Any Time, You Fu**ing Cowboy"

Liam Gallagher has told Adam Ant to "bring it on, any time, you f**king cowboy."

The Beady Eye front man was questioned by readers of the NME Magazine if he had any words for the singer who threatened to take him on "man-to-man" earlier this year.

Liam was also questioned if he was a fan of his music, back in the day?

The singer told the NME "Adam And The Ants? No. Not into a geezer who wears make-up. Especially f**king nutty ones. And tell him, 'You're not the only c*nt who's off his tits.'"

Beady Eye Sound Check New Song In Rio De Janeiro

Below is a video recorded by a fan outside Beady Eye's gig in Rio De Janeiro earlier this week.

Liam Gallagher has told the NME that the band will be going into the studio early next year, and will be messing about with what tunes they've got.

Is this one of them?

Liam Gallagher: "Not A Day Goes By When I Don’t Think About Oasis"

Liam Gallagher’s voice crackles down a bad phone line from South America. When I ask him to speak up, he snaps back: “That’s the story of my life, mate, I’m always having to go one louder.”

Fans of Spinal Tap will recognise the reference to the comical rock band whose guitar amps have dials that go all the way up to 11. It seem entirely appropriate for Gallagher, who has always had a cartoonish edge to his persona, an almost comically exaggerated intensity and aggressive confidence that helped make him Britain’s loudest, lairiest, coolest and quite possibly craziest rock star for much of the past 20 years. Two years on from the end of Oasis, the group who made him a household name, he remains on fighting form. “I speak the same talk, I walk the same walk,” he declares of his role in his new band, Beady Eye. “When I go on stage I try to eat that microphone. That’s it really. I’m not Jumping Jack Flash. I stand as still as I possibly can. I’m in a bubble, man, singing them songs, trying to blast through people’s souls, change their lives. I’m not thinking about anything except getting the message across. I don’t even know what the ----ing message is! I just wanna blast them with rock and roll.”

The problem for Liam is that the public no longer seem entirely convinced by such bellicose self-confidence. Beady Eye have been touring the world, playing theatres rather than stadiums. They return to Britain tomorrow, for a five-date tour, with some tickets still on sale. “There’s no rush to conquer the world,” Gallagher insists. “I’ve conquered it, mate. It’s all been done. I just want to make music that I like, and if people dig it, then great. As long as I’m not in a band with me brother fighting over M&Ms, that’s a success in my eyes.”

Oasis were the biggest band of the Britpop era, stadium-rocking giants who inspired a generation. At the group’s heart were the battling Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, the songwriter and the singer, a pair of complimentary and conflicting talents whose furious internal chemistry might have been the very definition of a unit greater than the sum of its parts.

Until the bond finally broke in Paris in 2009, after one backstage argument too many. It seemed a moment of both sadness and possibility. As even Liam acknowledges, there was a sense that Oasis had run their course. “I was absolutely devastated Oasis split up,” he admits. “But I just look at the positives now. We smashed it, man. We took it as big as we could. And hey, we inspired a lot of kids. I suppose we done what we came to do. It could have been different but the people in the band, that’s the way we are. I don’t regret having an argument with our kid, I don’t regret the break up, it had to happen.”

Younger brother Liam quickly reconvened with guitarists Gem Archer and Andy Bell, and touring drummer Chris Sharrock, this four fifths of Oasis turning into Beady Eye. Older brother Noel has taken his time concocting a solo album with a band of floating contributors dubbed High Flying Birds. But now that both sides of the schism have shown their musical hand, the public have had the opportunity to demonstrate where their allegiances lie. Beady Eye’s debut, Different Gear, Still Speeding, was declared a pleasant surprise by critics, reached number three in the UK album charts, and has sold a respectable 157,000. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds received universally glowing reviews, went straight to number one and has sold 230,000 in its first fortnight. “It’s all right,” is Liam’s rather begrudging verdict on his brother’s album. “I’m glad that people like it, man. He’s got good songs. No balls, though. No attitude. Everyone knows what Noel Gallagher can do, and it’s great, but it’s boring. I’ve heard it all before. Being number one is not all it’s cracked up to be. The Birdy Song was number one. I’d much rather be number three. You’ve got somewhere to go then.”

Liam’s affected nonchalance over his brother’s achievements is somewhat undermined by how often he brings the subject up, and the increasingly inflammatory and insulting way he talks about him, describing him in terms that cannot be repeated. You might have thought the break up of Oasis would have put an end to their squabbling, but it has continued in the media, with comments and insults going back and forth. Liam has gone as far as issuing a libel writ against his brother over remarks suggesting Liam missed the 2009 Reading festival because he was hung-over. Noel has subsequently conceded that Liam had a doctor’s note for laryngitis. But when I have the temerity to suggest to Liam that lawsuits may not be the best way to resolve family issues, he bubbles up with anger. “You think so? Telling lies to get benefits with your lot, you journalists, I’m not having it. The minute he apologised, it got ----ing dropped. And I’d do it all over again.So you be careful.”

The Gallagher brothers may be the most psychoanalysed siblings in rock history; the tragedy of their relationship is that they don’t seem interested in examining it themselves. Noel is probably least culpable, in that he tends to withdraw from conflict, yet it is not hard to detect in Liam’s rebelliousness a desire for the unforthcoming approval of his older brother. “It doesn’t bother me, mate,” Liam insists.

“We’re not the only family that’s a bit weird. I know lots of brothers and sisters that don’t get on. It’s just that ours was in a band that everyone became obsessed with.”

For all the bullish declarations that there are no regrets, both Noel and Liam speak with sadness about Oasis coming to an end. “There’s not a day goes by when I don’t think about Oasis and the music, but it wasn’t meant to be,” admits Liam, who recently suggested they could reunite for the 20-year anniversary of What’s The Story (Morning Glory) in 2015. “Who knows, man, who knows? Time is a great healer, they say. I’m certainly not putting out an olive branch. Me and our kid are still at loggerheads. I’m not desperate to be in a room with that miserable ----. Me and him would get into a scrap immediately. But I’d do it for the right reasons, for the music and for the fans. I don’t need the ----ing money.”

Arguably, both are better off apart, and, in a sense, both are creatively flourishing, albeit on a smaller scale than Oasis. Beady Eye may not quite have nailed it with their debut but there is a tangible ambition to create something worthwhile. “May be we’re just not cutting it. May be the tunes ain’t good enough to cross-over.

“So we’ve got to keep trying, got to keep taking it to the people, got to keep barking up some of the wrong trees, gotta keep making music. I’m optimistic. I know where to go next. We’re going where we would have gone with Oasis. It’s gonna get a bit grander, a bit Spectorish. I’ve got a soul man and my soul is tuned in to music and I’m going to sing songs every day of the week. That’s what I do. I’m more than motivated.”

Liam Gallagher Blasts Twitter-Loving Stars

Rocker Liam Gallagher has taken aim at celebrities who post trivial details of their life on Twitter.com, insisting they should be "shot".

The Beady Eye star has an account on the microblogging website but rarely uses it, revealing he only posts an update when "something needs to be cleared up".
And he's slammed stars who use Twitter to tell fans their most intimate or trivial moments, insisting he despises the website.

Gallagher tells Nme magazine, "I hate f**king tweeting, it's for d**ks. I only do it when something needs to be cleared up. I hate it. It's rubbish... About all that, though, talking about your lunch, it's like, come on... people need to be lined up and f**king shot, man, people who do that. It's like, close the door behind 'em, mate. Who gives a f**k, man?"

Liam Gallagher: Noel's LP Would Be Better With Me

Liam Gallagher thinks his brother Noel’s solo album would sound better with him on it.

The Beady Eye frontman likes his sibling and former Oasis bandmate's debut LP, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', but knows the tracks would sound better with his vocals.

In an interview with NME, he said: "They'd be f***ing better with me singing. They would be! They're good man, but they'd be proper if I was on there."

Liam – who formed Beady Eye with the rest of Oasis after Noel walked out of the band in August 2009 – still hasn't ruled out reforming Oasis for the 20 year anniversary of their seminal album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' because he thinks Noel is "desperate" to do so, but in the meantime he is happy for them to carry on with their respective separate careers.

He said: "There's every chance [of getting back together]. I know our kid's desperate to.

"And with this thing in 2015, I think me and him can put our issues aside and do it without a doubt. But I still think there's room for Beady Eye and the High Flying Birds, whatever they're called. Without a doubt."
