He's cleaned up and straightened out, but remarkably, given his own wild past, he despairs of today’s feckless youth...
'We were brought up under Thatcher,’ Noel Gallagher is saying.
‘There was a work ethic – if you were unemployed, the obsession was to find work.
'Now, these kids brought up under the Labour Party and whatever this Coalition thing is, it’s like, “Forget that, I’m not interested. I wanna be on TV.” It was a different mindset back then.’
We’re halfway through a wide-ranging conversation in a north London studio, and the man whose brawling band’s conspicuous drug use, bad language and swagger were irresistible to Tony Blair (you’ll recall the 1997 photo opportunity) is sipping a hot drink and telling me this country was better under Margaret Thatcher.
‘Under Thatcher, who ruled us with an iron rod,’ he says, ‘great art was made. Amazing designers and musicians. Acid house was born. Very colourful and progressive.
'Now, no one’s got anything to say. Write a song? No thanks, I’ll say it on Twitter. It’s a sad state when more people retweet than buy records.’
Gallagher, who doesn’t tweet, has got a point. He may yet prove to be the last British rock star.
It’s hard to imagine another arising whose hold on the public imagination is so strong that the News At Ten reports when their single fails to hit No 1, as happened in August 1995 with the great Oasis v Blur clash.
‘I had a tendency to say horrible things about Blur,’ Gallagher says ruefully. ‘We were like two fighting cocks for the music press.
'But this is what Damon and I were saying when we saw each other recently: we were of the shared opinion that it was bloody great. And that it doesn’t happen any more. We were two great bands who had big egos. Me and him, and Liam. We wanted to be the best.’
So Gallagher has mended fences with Damon Albarn, having once wished he’d ‘catch Aids and die’.
He hasn’t done the same with his younger brother, whose yobbish behaviour supplied the bulk of Oasis headlines when times were good. When times were bad, they couldn’t be in the same room. Liam’s behaviour drove Noel to walk out of tours in 1994 and 2000.
A backstage altercation in August 2009 saw Noel walk out for good, effectively ending Oasis.
Before this interview, I was told Noel wouldn’t be answering any questions about Liam.
‘I decided, now I’m not in Oasis, I don’t have to do that any more,’ Gallagher says when I ask him why.
‘Because all that needs to be said has been said. There’s no need any more. I just want to forget the personality wars.’
There’s more to it than that. Last August, Liam sued Noel for saying he’d pulled out of the 2009 V Festival because of a hangover.
In November, Noel lodged his response with the High Court: a writ accusing Liam of leaving abusive voicemail messages on his wife’s phone, attacking him with a guitar and ‘spiteful and childish’ behaviour on 12 occasions.
It’s not hard to deduce the ban on discussing Liam could be for legal reasons.
Since 2009 the Gallaghers have pursued rival careers; Liam with three Oasis bandmates under the name Beady Eye, Noel with session musicians as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. Noel’s album went to No 1 in October and a UK tour begins this month.
‘I still need a band on stage, because unfortunately I can’t play everything at once,’ he says. ‘But I’ll master it one day.’
He seems happy on his own. I wonder, if he hadn’t fallen out with Liam, might he have disbanded Oasis anyway?
‘I did find it difficult the longer Oasis went on,’ Gallagher agrees, ‘because no one out there was really interested in the next record.
'We rode out a few bad tours and bad albums, then got it back. But put it this way – three million people were coming to see us play live; we weren’t selling three million records.’
You’d become a nostalgia band?
‘In the same way that no one at a Rolling Stones gig cares about their next album. The more records you make, the more difficult it is to say new things.
'Anyway, in the end personal things had got so bad that it was best for everybody if we just called it a day.’
Two years on, and despite the court case, Gallagher hardly looks freighted with woes. Five feet eight inches tall, he’s wiry and alert, with a confidence £30 million in the bank will tend to give you.
He’s toned down his wolf-man eyebrows, too.
‘Grazia put me at the top of their Chart of Lust twice last year, so I must be doing something right,’ he says.
‘A woman of a similar age wouldn’t look as good. I feel sorry for girls in the music industry. They do have a very short shelf life. For instance, Duffy: who? Gone. She was massive. And I don’t doubt for a second that the same thing will happen to Adele.’
Although he’s bullish now, there was a time when Gallagher wasn’t so sure of himself. Oasis’s fortunes peaked in 1995 with the Knebworth gig attended by 375,000 over two nights. Then the troubles began.
‘We went through a period as a group from 1998 to 2000 where everyone was getting divorced,’ Gallagher says.
‘Creation (the record label) was going down the toilet. My daughter didn’t have two stable parents: her mother wasn’t a rock star, but unfortunately was behaving like one.
'I was trying to get off drugs, but I only swapped illegal drugs for prescription drugs. If you’re on private health care, they’re only too willing to dish them out. Ask Keith Richards.’
Gallagher is entirely clean now, bar the odd beer or cigarette. He’s in no doubt as to what turned him around.
‘Meeting my wife,’ he says. ‘She was the catalyst for everything.’
Noel met publicist Sara MacDonald in Ibiza in 2000 when still married to first wife Meg Mathews. She was cited in the 2001 divorce, although Gallagher later said he’d only claimed to have committed adultery to speed up the proceedings.
‘When I met her, I was in a circle of friends where the party from the Nineties was still raging,’ he says.
‘I’d sold my house in Primrose Hill to get away from it, but the party just moved out to the country with me. I’d done too much and my insides couldn’t take it any more. I decided I’d go straight for two weeks. Then two weeks became two months.
'Suddenly you think, “Hang on, these people are quite mad – I’m not sure I like any of them.” My entire life was 12 to 20 people and I walked away from them for good. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. Then out of nowhere, I met Sara and the road to where I am now became apparent.’
The couple have been together 11 years and have two sons – Donovan, four, and Sonny, one. They married last June. Asked why he bothered after 11 years, he plays it down.
‘There comes a point where a 44-year-old man sounds stupid saying, “This is my girlfriend.” What am I, Rod Stewart?’
Nevertheless, marriage is an institution he didn’t need to enter. Could he finally be turning… conservative?
He bridles. Don’t use the c word. He never would have visited Number 10 if John Major had invited him, he says. But, it turns out, he will be sending his sons to private school.
‘I don’t want them coming home speaking like Ali G,’ he explains. ‘Anyone in my position, you owe it to your children to send them to a school where they don’t have to walk through a metal detector in the morning.
'There were riot police outside our local school the other morning. Turns out there’d been a stabbing. Rival gangs. We shouldn’t need riot police at schools. This is Maida Vale. This isn’t Handsworth or Tottenham, do you know what I mean? I don’t want my kids going to a school like that. I’d rather they were at a school with Russian oligarchs’ children.’
We talk about how his boys’ childhood is going to differ from his own. Gallagher’s mother walked out on his abusive father in the Eighties, taking Noel, Liam and their elder brother Paul with her. In a way, Gallagher says, it was the making of him.
'I found solace in music,’ he says. He doubts his own sons will have the same need for songs. There’s too much technology, too much Twitter. That’s when he says people were more ambitious under Margaret Thatcher.
‘Kids now watch America’s Hardest Prisons and want to be in a gang,’ he says.
‘They’ve no imagination. When I was 16 I’d watch The Godfather, but I didn’t think, “Right, I’m going to go down the barber’s and get some protection money off him.”
'Our generation was more likely to go, “I wonder where the nearest acting school is? Who wrote that soundtrack? Who’s Francis Ford Coppola?” It’s the de-education of the masses.
‘Last August I was on tour in Europe and people were asking me about the riots. All over the world, Syria and Egypt, people were rioting for freedom. And these kids in England are rioting for tracksuits. It’s embarrassing.’
Gallagher was arrested in his early teens for petty crimes including stealing a milk float. He puts this down to a hatred of authority, a reaction against his abusive father.
One of the rioters arrested came from Burnage, where the brothers grew up – in fact, he stole £175 of clothes from Liam Gallagher’s Pretty Green shop. But Noel has no sympathy at all with the looters.
‘It would have been beautiful if, after the MPs’ expenses scandal and the bankers’ bonuses scandal, people took to the streets and smashed the living daylights out of the City of London,’ he says.
‘Instead, it started because a drug dealer was shot. He was carrying a gun, he was shot by a policeman, it’s all on Twitter and before you know it there’s a riot going on. It was a mass outbreak of robbery and I was embarrassed to be a Mancunian. I saw kids on the telly saying in their Ali G voices, “It’s payback for the po-lice.” What does that mean? “Cause they arrest yer for stupid things.” Like what – hopping on one leg? Doing a silly walk like John Cleese? Get home, you idiot.’
Gallagher is by now in his stride. He’s seldom been at a loss for an unkind word about his fellow man – and nowadays, the things he’s angry about are the same things The Mail on Sunday’s readers are angry about. And the things he cares about, we do too. Older, wiser and rid of his brother, it’s starting to look like Noel Gallagher’s one of us.
‘It’s a sign of the times that I used to get offered sex and drugs after gigs and now it’s free driving lessons,’ says Gallagher, who was offered lessons by a fan last year.
And his politics have been shifting recently.
‘Up until the last election, I voted Labour all my life,’ he says. ‘But I’ve lost all faith in the Labour Party. After the expenses scandal and what happened with the banks – that “There’s no money left” note and all that – I just look at them and think the Labour Party should really be ashamed of themselves for the way they let the country down. I voted for a pirate at the last election.’
Ah. Not quite the doughty burgher I’ve been trying to paint him as, then. Fair enough. As if to prove a point, he tells me about the psychedelic album he’s working on for release at the end of the year, which will alienate his more musically conservative fans.
Is the idea to show that he’s more than the crowd-pleasing rocker once taunted with the jibe ‘Oasis Quo’?
‘I don’t want to be “interesting”,’ Gallagher scoffs. ‘I don’t want critical acclaim. I don’t want my songs to be social commentary. Radiohead can have that. That’s why they’ve never done three nights at Wembley. I want the money. I want the jet, the holiday and the first-class lounge.’
But he’s already got all of that, in spades. He says he wishes his sons were old enough to come out on tour with him now – implying that by the time they are he’ll be retired. I suggest he could retire now and enjoy the fruits of his labours.
‘Paul McCartney’s still touring,’ he counters. ‘While you can still write songs, you should.’
With respect to McCartney, nobody wants to hear his new songs. They all want to hear Beatles songs. Which brings me to the inevitable question. Given that an Oasis reunion tour, once his feud with Liam is patched up, would be one of the biggest money-spinners in history, how long is he going to wait?
‘I don’t mean to straight-bat this,’ he says, ‘but what people want me to say is, “Yes, I’m bang up for the reunion.” They’re talking about 2014, the 20th anniversary of Definitely Maybe.
‘As it draws closer, yeah, the bandwagon will get rolling, the drums will beat louder – but let’s wait for then, eh? It’s years away.’
It’s two years away. If I were you, I’d book your seats at Wembley now.
The new single from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, ‘Dream On’, is out on March 12. His UK tour begins in Manchester on February 13. Visit noelgallagher.com

Bombay Bicycle Club
Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher has chosen the captain of Aylesbury Glee Club to help promote his new album.
The star has invited Gill Kilvert to join his small on-stage choir during the UK leg of his High Flying Birds tour.
“I am very excited. I have never met him before,” said the Aylesbury 28 year old – who founded Aylesbury Glee Club UK 12 months ago.
She will be taking to the stage with the Don’t Look Back In Anger singer throughout February – performing in Belfast Dublin, Newcastle and Glasgow.
It is not the first time she will have performed for a rock/indie audience as she recently provided backing vocals for English band Bombay Bicycle Club.
Kilvert, of Aylesbury, was recruited for Gallagher’s tour thanks to her performances at the Hertfordshire Chorus Group – which meets once a week in Hatfield. She explains that her name was put forward by the group’s musical director, who knows people in the business.
Kilvert has been teaching singing and piano playing for five years and was asked by Glee Club UK to form an Aylesbury branch. On average, 15-20 members meet each Tuesday night at Bedgrove Infant School. Surprisingly not every member of the club is a fan of the US Glee TV show. “Initially people came because of the programme, but I now have members that have never seen the show,” she said. “They have heard about Aylesbury Glee Club UK from their friends or neighbours. Although most members have seen the show and I, myself, am a very big fan of it.”
She describes the club as informal and fun. “It is two hours a week where people can forget about the rest of their lives. We sing a lot of kind of chart songs, for example Don’t Stop Me Now, by Queen, or Shine, by Take That – cheesy, feel-good songs.
“We put a few dance moves together to go with the songs, but it usually just results in hysterics. It is just such good fun. There are no auditions, you don’t need any prior experience and anyone can come along. You just need lots of enthusiasm.”

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Yes...
I is in Adelaide. Not been up to this neck of the bush for a long time. Felt a bit rough yesterday, dodgy Chinese before I left the hotel in Melbourne.
Have a guess who I bumped into in the lift yesterday? Go on...you'll never guess. One half of an 80's yacht rock duo...no? Well, it was one of Hall and Oates!! Not sure if it was Hall or Oates...it was the little fella with the moustache! Which one's he? Fucked if I know!!
At the airport we had a full on heated debate about one's favourite chocolate bar. What started off with an innocent observation about how your traditional chocolate bar over here is slightly different to back home turned into a full on finger jabbing swear-fest!! The debate centred round the premise of being in the local newsagents just buying a paper and if you had to choose one bar (or bag of) chocolate which one would you go for? That led to people pulling up chocolate from years gone by AND short-lived classics (Cadbury's 'Spira' anyone?). The whole shouting match took well over an hour...pity chocolate doesn't last that long!!
Arrived in Adelaide still arguing. Caught a splendid run of 80's American action show cheese this morning. Get on this, they came one after another...THE DUKES OF HAZZARD!! (Boss Hogg? Remember him?), Magnum!! (Higgins? Remember him?), KNIGHT RIDER!! (That car? Remember that car? Looks pony now!!) and THE A-TEAM!! (Absolute dog shit). What a bill of Yankee Doodle cheese! Magnum was my favourite...that brown and yellow striped helicopter is mint!!
Just got back from being out...not a great deal happening here although I did see a child magician in action, some of the WORST busking ever and a poster for an Ozzy Osbourne tribute act. His name?
AUSSIE OSBOURNE!! Priceless.
ONWARDS.

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Yes...
I is in Adelaide. Not been up to this neck of the bush for a long time. Felt a bit rough yesterday, dodgy Chinese before I left the hotel in Melbourne.
Have a guess who I bumped into in the lift yesterday? Go on...you'll never guess. One half of an 80's yacht rock duo...no? Well, it was one of Hall and Oates!! Not sure if it was Hall or Oates...it was the little fella with the moustache! Which one's he? Fucked if I know!!

Serge Pizzorno
From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Yes…
So, the gig here in Melbourne was great. (Yes, I'm still in Melbourne! They don't call this the Big Day Off for nothing.) It was at a place whose name escapes me just now, in a suburb called St. Kilda… A real saint? I think not. I mean, I'm no expert on the Bible, but when "they" forced us to study it at gunpoint at school I don't recall a St. Kilda.
The venue is most famous for having the oldest neon sign in the Southern Hemisphere!! (There's a little factoid for you.)
The gig was a bit weird to start with. It was all seated and the crowd remained so for the first three songs. It was like they were at the cinema… Now I know how the support band must've felt!
Anyway, I felt as though I must speak to these people…
"Do you HAVE to sit down?" I asked.
"NO!!" They shouted back as one.
"Well… Can you stand up, please?" I asked again, slightly annoyed.
"YISS," they replied in an Aussie accent and up they all stood… Just like that!! Now that did lead to some particularly bad dancing, I must say, but it was a price worth paying.
Wasn't much going on after the show so I legged it quick sharp.
Was up early yesterday. Went for a wander up town. Nothing to do, and all day to do it. Did pass a strange place which had a sign above the door that said, "VICTORIAN HOBBY CENTRE"?? What the fuck?? What do they do in there? Whip poor people? I was gonna go in to satisfy my curiosity but as I'm from the North they would've probably put me to work as a chimney sweep or a miner or a beggar.
Bumped into comrade Serge and another one of Kasabian, whose name I can never fucking remember. Had a bit of lunch… A mad Mexican, if you must know.
On the way back to my hotel I passed another establishment that had a sign over the door that said… "VICTORIAN DETECTIVE SERVICE"!!! What the fucking fuck?? Was there an actual Victorian detective inside? With a top hat? And a cane? And a monocle? Holding a massive magnifying glass?? I do hope so.
ONWARDS.

Noel Gallagher
Having been in the country for almost two weeks, UK rock legend Noel Gallagher is becoming accustomed to life in Australia.
There's the blistering summer heat and the immediate connection he feels with Australian crowds.
But there's one thing Noel Gallagher cannot understand why Australian news services were running reports of Prime Minister Julia Gillard losing her shoe.
"Did you see all that sh** on the news? It was like Monty Python it was brilliant," laughs Gallagher.
While he understands the extremity of the events surrounding the PM's misplaced footwear, it remains one of the highlights of his trip he chose to share the story on his blog.
"I kind of seen it when your Prime Minister was bungled into the car and then there was the thing that she lost the shoe," continues Gallagher.
"I followed it for a couple of days and it (the news) was like 'we must find the shoe'. I'm like 'f*****g hell what's in the shoe?' Nobody cares. This country cracks me up."
Gallagher admits if he was to come into possession of the footwear he would "put it straight on eBay" because, when it comes to fashion, this rocker knows what he likes and wedge-style shoes aren't on his list.
" I loathe wedges," he says with a sigh. "When my wife wears them I wag my finger and go 'f*****g hell, you got to do better than that love'. Wedges, they're not welcome in my house."
The vocal guitarist, song-writer and now frontman is experiencing a new type of success following the demise of Oasis. Gallagher's venture with High Flying Birds has left him relaxed and refreshed. And with his former band now vacating the highly sought after rock throne, there's a new generation ready for the challenge.
"I don't even know if there is a throne, if you know what I mean," he explains. "Kasabian and the Arctic Monkeys are now the two biggest guitar bands in England that is if Kasabian is a guitar band?"
But perhaps Gallagher could resume his seat on the throne with his new project?
"I don't intend to stop making music," he says.
"I might change the way I make it and get it out there. Whether I carry on solo or do something else you'll always be able to hear new contemporary songs of mine.
"But I don't make plans for the future because plans they never really work."
One thing Gallagher couldn't have planned for is having this month's edition of NME magazine devoted to his career.
"It's all kind of slightly embarrassing but you know it's nice to be honoured," he says. "But a full magazine about myself um I don't know, it might make me feel a bit uncomfortable when I go into the local newsagents to get my newspapers. I'm like 'what the f*** is this all about'. But, you know, I think it will be nice for my kids to read it in years to come."
Meanwhile, Gallagher says he hasn't heard "one single note" of newcomer Lana Del Rey recently featured in NME and doesn't care to talk about her either.
"Well, she might be everywhere but she's not in my head," he says sternly.
"She's not in my ears I've heard of her but I've never heard one single note of her music and I don't need to have a f*****g opinion."
But if Gallagher does read the magazine this month, he hopes it doesn't include the greatest rumour he's heard about himself. "It was when Paul McCartney got married recently there was a picture of me going into his wedding reception except it wasn't me," he laughs.
"The caption underneath said 'high flying guest Gallagher arrives' and it wasn't me it so blatantly wasn't me it was f*****g unbelievable. So for the next six weeks I (was) touring the states and every interview was 'So? McCartney's wedding did you go?' and I was like 'Yes I did and I can f*****g tell you it was absolutely incredible'. I said we were all doing acid."
"I caught up with him (McCartney) and we had a good laugh about it. The guy didn't even look like me . . ."
With his time in Australia wrapping up, Gallagher hopes to check out a few people on the bill but not headliners Soundgarden and Kanye West. He does however like the idea of the supposed rift between the two.
Chris Cornell is reported to have said onstage; "Sounds like there's children playing music there, retarded children" referring to Kanye's sound check.
"Really?" laughs Gallagher. "That's great I've not heard any of that I might have to get involved in that s*** and stir them up a bit."
Although they're not on the bill, Gallagher would like to make time for his favourite Australian acts.
Of You Am I, he says: "That record Hourly Daily is incredible."
He also admires the lads from Jet but when quizzed about iconic rockers INXS and their choice for yet another lead singer, he is baffled.
"Michael Hutchence was INXS," he says.
"The other guys, I wouldn't recognise them if one of them walked into my room now and served me f*****g lunch.
"To me, once the band is gone, it's f*****g gone move on and do something else."
But what if Noel had died a few years ago and Oasis went on without him? "No well I'm just the guitarist you can replace guitarists."
With just two shows left in Australia, Gallagher knows he has a busy year ahead back home in Britain as a solo artist, but he's looking to wrap up the campaign on his self-titled debut album in November.
"I should be finished around November, which will leave me with my favourite time of the year Christmas," he sighs.
So, should we hold our breath for a Christmas single from the British rock Grinch?
"Not unless you want a song called I F*****g Hate Christmas by Noel Gallagher," he adds.

Back in the day Noel Gallagher was a rock 'n roll bad boy.
But married life has turned the once lairy Manc into a right big girl. He’s even taking fashion advice from his missus Sara MacDonald, 39.
The ex-Oasis star, 44, is so under the thumb he now refuses to wear his beloved Man City kit, claiming it’s “chav”.
Despite being an avid supporter since the early 80s Noel admitted: “My missus will not put up with any of that gear. It’s chav isn’t it? She is strict and hardcore and is not having any of that nonsense. I have never been one for wearing shirts, even though City have had cool football kits over the years.”
Er, really Noel? How about the picture we have here of you in a blue City jersey? Forget about that, did we?
Noel really doth protest too much, continuing: “I won’t wear shirts around the house. I don’t like it. You only see English people doing it, not Italians or really anyone else. I don’t understand fully-grown men wearing them.”
