On This Day In Oasis History...

"Go Let It Out" is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher.

It was released on February 7th 2000 as the first single from the fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The song peaked at #1 in the UK charts where it went Silver.

The lyrics are a similar vein to "Roll With It" in that it encourages the listener to get on with their life without being specific about how this is to be achieved. The song samples the drums from Johnny Jenkins' version of Dr John's "I Walk on Gilded Splinters". The title may be a reference to the line in "Hey Jude" by The Beatles, "So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin". Noel described the song as "the closest we came to sounding like a modern day Beatles" in the 'Lock the Box' interview found on the DVD in the special edition of Stop the Clocks.

The song, along with B-side "(As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes in Hell", also embodies the psychedelic feel which the band experimented with on the album. It couples this with an acoustic guitar chord sequence. "Let's All Make Believe", the second B-Side is considered by many to be one of the best Oasis B-sides. Some people believe the lyrics of this song to relate to the cracks that began forming in the group at the time (see below), for example: "So let's all make believe/that we're still friends and we like each other."



















Due to the departure of guitarist Bonehead and bassist Guigsy in the early recording sessions for Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, the track features only Liam Gallagher (vocals), Noel Gallagher (rhythm guitar, bass guitar, lead guitar) and Alan White (drums).

Oasis were looking for replacements for founding members Bonehead and Guigsy and while Bonehead was quickly replaced with fellow Creation signing and former Heavy Stereo frontman Gem Archer, Guigsy proved harder to replace. Thus the trippy video for "Go Let It Out" had to be filmed with Noel on bass, Archer in Noel's role as lead guitarist and Liam in Archer's role as rhythm guitarist.



The b-side "Let's All Make Believe" has recently been included in several lists as a 'hidden gem', such as Q magazine placing it at number one on its list of '500 best lost tracks' and at 4 on its 'list of songs to download this month - January 2006.' Q magazine said in the description 'If Standing on the Shoulder of Giants had contained this track, it would have probably got another star'.

In the "lock the box" interview, Noel considers "Go Let It Out" to be "head and shoulders" above any other songs he had written during this time, and its "up there with some of the best things I've ever done."

"Go Let It Out" is included on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks, and is the only song from Standing on the Shoulder of Giants on that album.

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

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

Yes...

Well that's it, my work here is done. I have to say I've had a great time.

I love you Australia. Although you are built on a basic principal of petty crime, backpacking, casual labour (usually bar work and mainly in London, around Earls Court and Shepherds Bush) you are full of brilliant nonsense like - Aussie news, shoe stealing anarchists, Aussie country music, drunk people throwing dead fish, the oldest neon sign in the southern hemisphere, colossal American TV from the '80's and bugs the size of Ronnie Corbett. We'll meet again. No 'bout a doubt it.

ONWARDS.

On This Day In Oasis History...

The videos below are from the 6th February 1994, when Oasis played at Gleneagles in Perth, Scotland.

Noel Gallagher's Amorphous Androgynous Collaboration Delayed

Noel Gallagher has confirmed that while he expects to release the first material from his collaboration with psychedelic collective the Amorphous Androgynous next month, the album itself has been put on the back burner due to the success of his High Flying Birds record.

Speaking to FasterLouder before his solo show in Melbourne last week, Gallagher said that:”That album has sadly been put on the backburner now because this [Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds] album’s become so successful, that the release date keeps getting put back,”

“I can’t talk too much about that record because it’s yet to be mixed and the mixes that I have done of it or have been done of it, I’ve not been happy with and I’m all about the mixing.”

Gallagher announced over the weekend that one tune, Shoot A Hole Into The Sun, will be released next month as the b-side to new single Dream On.

You can read the full interview with Noel, in which he talks life post-Oasis will be on FasterLouder tomorrow morning.

Liam Gallagher On Oasis, Style And Changing His Habits

Today, the singer is something of a reformed character. It’s over two years since Oasis acrimoniously split.

The man I’m talking with lives with his second wife and their ten-year-old son on the edge of London’s Hampstead Heath.

We’ve been happily discussing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, nappy-changing and school runs, curious conversation topics for someone who torpedoed Oasis’s first American tour by insulting the audience and hitting his brother, who was banned from Cathay Pacific after an argument and whose part in a brawl in a German hotel cost his management £170,000 in fines. But all that was a decade ago.

Today, Liam Gallagher is something of a reformed character. It’s over two years since Oasis acrimoniously split – or, to be more accurate, since squabbling Noel and Liam finally decided they could no longer work together or even see each other.

Their final falling-out took place before the group’s scheduled performance at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris and resulted in Liam smashing his brother’s prized guitar.

Since then, Liam has formed Beady Eye with Oasis bandmates Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock, released a top-five album (Different Gear, Still Speeding) and devoted time to his own fashion label, Pretty Green.

I did all sorts for 20-odd years.

When you sit up in a bar and drink 20 pints and smoke and it’s four, five o’clock in the morning and then you can’t sing, it’s rubbish. I’ve done my time with all that, the lack of sleep and the hangovers. Now it’s time for a change. It’s great to have a drink with your mates, but when it’s banging out two or three days of your life, it doesn’t make sense any more. I just got bored of it. I’ve got a lot going on. I want to keep this Beady Eye thing going and focus.

I gave up drinking for three years – I loved it.

The kids seemed to like me a lot more. They said, ‘Your eyes aren’t red and you don’t mumble so much.’

I’m still a young man and I want to get stuff done.

I love running. I’ve got a shed, but there’s not much in it – just a Flymo. Get back to me in a year and you might see some mad gardening going on.

It takes more than blood to be my brother.

I’ve still got the right hump and now the gloves are off. We’re still not talking. If people think I’m going to be happy about the Oasis split, then they’re wrong. Even though I love Beady Eye, I’d prefer to still be in Oasis, because that was my thing. Oasis was my life.

I live and breathe rock ’n’ roll.

This isn’t a hobby for me. It’s been great doing all these little shows, going back to square one. It’s good to see the crowd and hear them. Long may that continue. Big gigs are soulless masses of people – I’m glad I’ve done them, but I don’t miss them. I’ve got nothing to prove anyway.

I’d rather people looked like me than Ronan Keating.

I don’t mind it at all. The more of me in the world the better, I say. I’m down with it. I’ve just got to keep ahead of the pack.

How can you be stylish if you never wash?

Look at these grungers – they just walk around filthy with matted hair and smelly T-shirts, looking like tramps – where’s the park bench and the Special Brew? And I despise this new disease of indie student music – Bloc Party and all that nonsense.

I don’t want to reinvent the wheel.

I always thought Brian Jones looked the b*******. George Harrison was cool and Paul Weller always looked good. Those are the three most stylish men in history for me, and the most overrated is my brother. He dresses like Val Doonican. But it’s the usual stuff, Sixties rock ’n’ roll – the Kinks, the Who, the Stones – that’s the vibe for me. It’s fine as it is, so let it be.

If it doesn’t look good on me then I’m not having it.

I keep an eye on things. I want to make the best clothes for the lad on the street or the next rock star in the making. The way I go about it is that I go through the wardrobe and think, ‘I’d like that new, in a nicer cloth’, and get it made. Or I delve into the past and make the clothes I always wanted. I see my label, Pretty Green, going everywhere.

Quadrophenia – the music, the clothes – is the height of British style.

Better than the Madchester scene or Britpop or anything else. The clothes were cool. A lot of people had nothing in those days – just a scooter and a house party to go to in Brighton. But it was good. There’s too much going on these days. There’s too much choice and not enough quality.

There are more hardcore mods than me.

I definitely go for the mod more than the rocker business, but I like Neil Young, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, a lot of really out-there and psychedelic stuff. To be honest, I’ve got my own thing going on. My style comes from football and all that casual thing.

Everyone had a certain look in the Eighties.

Music and football collided then. Meanwhile, a lot round my way used to wear dinner jackets and flares and walk about with walking sticks, and they looked cool.

I never sold drugs, but to get the odd thing I was a bit of a blagger.

I had honest work in a garden factory creosoting fences, until the boss told me to clean the toilet out. I cleared off, then I worked with my dad on his building firm, went out labouring. I’d go to church with my mum and then go home and see her get proper battered by my dad. She left him when I was ten.

Starting out with Oasis didn’t freak me out at all.

I’d been digging holes in Manchester for the previous four years, so I was ready for it. I was like: here’s your spade, you can have it! It all felt good to me. I didn’t take five years off to sit down and talk about how great I am. We went straight into the studio after the fight in Paris and we haven’t stopped since. You only get one crack at it, so you might as well get on with it, do it well and do it right. The busier the better.

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

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

Yes...

Well not a great deal going on. Nothing to report and normally I would wait until something happened before I mithered you but someone has just made me aware of a headline they came across on this here internet. Now 99 times out of 100 I wouldn't bother with such nonsense but I feel outraged, so for the record...

There is a headline that implies that I am of the opinion that the years spent under the rule of that soon to be dead granny, Maggie Thatcher, was good for the soul. I've read the story and I must say it's very misleading; any great working class art, fashion, youth culture etc came to be IN SPITE of that woman and her warped right wing views and NOT BECAUSE of them. Also for the record, on the day that she dies we will party like it's 1989. Just so you know.

ONWARDS.

Fan Gallery: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds At The Big Day Out In Melbourne

The pictures below were sent in from site visitor Kirtsy from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds appearance at the Big Day Out in Melbourne last week.

Noel Gallagher On Britain's Glory Days And More

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.

Gill Right On Song For Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

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.”

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

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.

GD.
