Paul Weller On Noel Gallagher's Album 'Chasing Yesterday'

Paul Weller has been speaking about Noel Gallagher's new album 'Chasing Yesterday' that is released in March.

He told the current issue of the NME "I really like it, I think it's great. It's one of those things you've got to hear a few times - two or three listens, I reckon - but I thought it was great. It's a little bit like part two but in a great way - he's got great songs and that's what he does, great melodies and choruses. He's singing and playing well on it, it's a good record".

Noel Gallagher On Oasis Tracks In The Archives

Noel Gallagher has been speaking about Oasis songs in the archive.

He told the current issue of the NME "There are little bridges and tiny bits. There's a bootleg on the internet that I haven't even got called 'Tales From The Basement' or something, and there's a whole f*cking 11 or 12 songs on there that are all pre-Alan McGee there are certain bits I can hear that popped up on 'Be Here Now' or whatever, so there's no great fully formed songs.

When asked were they recorded at the same time as 'Married With Children'? he said "Yeah that's were we did it. It belongs to Mani, that house. Mark Coyle was renting it. Mani's still got the house. It's become a bit of a Manchester landmark".

He told the current issue of the NME "We did it before we went to do 'Don't Believe The Truth', and much like the Amorphous project, it just didnt work out. Me and Liam both sang.

But it never came out."Source: www.nme.com

Noel Gallagher On The Scrapped Album With Amorphous Androgynous

Noel Gallagher has been speaking about his scrapped album with Amorphous Androgynous.

He told the current issue of the NME "Initially when they delivered it they managed to pull off the trick of recording the quietest CD of all time. When I got it I was like, 'Is it broke?' But for all the great ideas on it... I was in the middle of a tour, that last album had blown up, the mixes weren't right. And by the time I got back off tour I was just like 'I'm not f*cking putting out another record, I can't be arsed'. I was frazzled and had glandular fever I was f*cked."

Paul Weller On Why Noel Gallagher Doesn't Need To Reform Oasis

Paul Weller has been speaking on why Noel Gallagher doesn't need to reform Oasis.

He told the NME "Why would he need to? he's flying at the moment. I don't think he needs to. There's always exceptions, but generally speaking I'm f*cking bored stiff of reunions. I know it's popular with people, but I don't get it - I don't get the whole nostalgia thing. It's just become a business, hasn't it"?

Noel Gallagher On The Numerous Influences On His New Album

Noel Gallagher has said a song on his new album is a mix of "T Rex, The Rolling Stones and Queens Of The Stone Age" while stating the another is one of his favourite things he has ever written.

Gallagher's High Flying Birds release new album 'Chasing Yesterday' on March 2. It features the single 'In The Heat Of The Moment' as well as Johnny Marr collaboration 'Ballad Of The Mighty I'.

Speaking to NME in the cover feature of this week's issue, which is on newsstands now and available digitally Gallagher describes the saxophone player used on album opener 'The Riverman' as being "summoned from a smoky room in 1963," adding that the song is, "fucking amazing. It's my favourite track on the album, and one of my favourites I've ever done."

Meanwhile, 'The Right Stuff', also taken from from the record has numerous influences. Put to him by NME that the song's riff is reminiscent of Queens of the Stone Age, Gallagher replies: "I thought The Rolling Stones, and Johnny Marr when he heard it said, 'That's fucking T Rex'. But if it's a cross between T Rex, The Rolling Stones and Queens Of The Stone Age, fucking hell, I'll take that any day."

Noel Gallagher On His Brother Liam And The Break Up Of Beady Eye

Noel Gallagher has said that his brother Liam is "making a fucking mess" of his personal life at the moment, but backed him to be able to get back to his best.

The last twelve months have proven tumultuous for Liam with the Beady Eye split and a long-running court case in New York over financial support for a baby he fathered while married to ex-wife Nicole Appleton.

Speaking to NME in the cover feature of this week's issue, which is on newsstands now and available digitally, his older brother Noel acknowledges things are not going well for Liam at the moment.

"He's making a fucking mess of things at the moment, but we've all been there," he says. "I've been there. Something like that can be a great thing because you get to the bottom and you cleanse yourself of a lot of fucking shit baggage and you start again. I’m the kind of person that says 'Fuck it, take it' and I'll start again. And that would be my advice to him."

Asked to pinpoint what went wrong for Beady Eye, who separated in October 2014 after releasing two albums, Noel identifies a key issue with the band's make up. "They’re a fucking great band but they're not great songwriters. They needed one great song. Not just a hit single, a great fucking tune. But I don’t think he’ll be out of the game forever."

The last time Noel saw Liam was at the Etihad Stadium on May 11 last year, the day Manchester City won the Premier League. "I was in the directors box, obviously, and he was outside selling burgers, and one of the directors asked if I wanted to go on the pitch with the team, and I was like, 'Fucking yeah' so I went on the pitch and in the tunnel before I said to [club captain] Vincent Kompany 'Give us your armband' and he gave me it, so I was wearing it in the bar afterwards, and I was sitting there talking to somebody, and someone came up behind me and tried to take the armband off and I was like, 'Fucking get off of it' and it was Liam. And he was like, 'Fucking hell man you knobhead, you shouldn’t have that, I should fucking have that'. And that's how it started. And I was like, 'Oh yeah, alright, and how are you?' Every time I see him he is still being a bit of a fucking cheeky cunt. And he’s still putting out the persona of the angry barking dog."

Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran has responded to Noel's remarks that he couldn't live in a world where Ed Sheeran headlines Wembley, stating "I can live in it, it's really enjoyable".

Earlier this week Gallagher revealed his new single 'Ballad Of The Mighty I' and reiterated his desire to play Glastonbury in June, suggesting that he might take his guitar and play regardless of whether he is officially booked for the festival or not.

Gallagher's upcoming record 'Chasing Yesterday' will be his second solo studio album and features his new single 'In The Heat Of The Moment'.

The Beatles: Revolver
"The '90's would never have happened without this album."

"It doesn't sound like it now but at the time this really did seem like it came from another universe... at that moment they were the greatest band of all time."

The Who: The Ultimate Collection
"Undoubtedly the greatest singles band of all time... laughable how many truly great youth anthems Pete Townshend wrote."

Ed Sheeran Responds To Noel Gallagher's Remarks About His Wembley Concerts

Ed Sheeran has responded to Noel Gallagher's remarks that he couldn't live in a world where Ed Sheeran headlines Wembley, stating "I can live in it, it's really enjoyable".

Sheeran tweeted his comeback after Gallagher expressed his dismay at the fact that Sheeran will play three gigs at Wembley Stadium to NME. In the cover feature of this week's issue, which is on newsstands from tomorrow and available digitally, the former Oasis man said: "I don’t think I can live in a world where that’s even possible. When you hear that kind of polished pop and then there’s a ginger guy with a fucking guitar it seems subversive, but it’s fucking not."

As confirmed last year, Sheeran will play a trio of dates at the 80,000 capacity London stadium in July. Two of the dates were added due to phenomenal demand.

Noel Gallagher Can't Live In A World Where Ed Sheeran Is Headlining Wembley

Noel Gallagher has expressed his dismay at the fact Ed Sheeran will play three gigs at Wembley Stadium later this year.

As confirmed last year, Sheeran will play a trio of dates at the 80,000 capacity London stadium in July. Two of the dates were added due to popular demand.

However, Gallagher is not happy this is happening. As he tells NME in the cover feature of this week's issue, which is on newsstands from tomorrow and available digitally, "I don’t think I can live in a world where that’s even possible. When you hear that kind of polished pop and then there’s a ginger guy with a fucking guitar it seems subversive, but it’s fucking not."

Gallagher goes on to give his evaluation of the current music scene, painting a bleak picture.

He said: "It’s a strange time, and it seems like the whole thing is embedded for good now, for fucking forever. It’s not all over, but it’ll go back to the way it was in the early ‘80s where indie bands are the alternative thing, the lower level. In the early ‘80s everyone at indie labels, even major labels, were trying to push this music to the fore because everything else was shit, and maybe it’ll happen again, but I don’t see it for the next decade."

Earlier this week Gallagher revealed his new single 'Ballad Of The Mighty I' and reiterated his desire to play Glastonbury in June, suggesting that he might take his guitar and play regardless of whether he is officially booked for the festival or not.

Gallagher's upcoming record 'Chasing Yesterday' will be his second solo studio album and features his new single 'In The Heat Of The Moment'. Johnny Marr features on the track 'The Ballad Of Mighty I'.

Noel Gallagher Pokes Fun At Oasis Video Rant With New Single

Noel Gallagher, who ranted about how much he hated making music videos last year, has unveiled his new track today in which he repeats many of the things he previously poked fun at.

In 2014, an expletive-packed compilation of his scathing comments about his past Oasis videos became a YouTube sensation.

Now a new six minute-long clip to accompany his next single Ballad Of The Mighty I appears to have parodied many of the elements which upset him the most.

The 47-year-old's hilarious grumbles were taken from an audio commentary track which featured on a DVD release of the band's hits, with Gallagher cringing as he pointed out that the band had excelled at "walking and playing and standing still... and looking bored".

The guitarist moaned about walking in slow motion repeatedly, complained about how a director told him to do one scene again with more energy in his eyes and spoke about his hatred of the whole experience.

"I hate the fact they cost a fortune. I hate the fact you've got to be there at eight in the morning. I hate the fact you don't leave until eight the next morning.

"I don't like the fact that the people who're making them think they're making Apocalypse Now and everything is the most important - 'this the really important shot'," he said, adding that he was tired of doing repeated takes.

For his latest video meanwhile he is seen walking and playing guitar in slow motion and again looks completely bored.

During his previous rant, Noel had grumbled that the band looked like they were wearing someone else's clothes, and in his new film he is seen stealing a new jacket from outside a shop.

A self-absorbed director also appears at the beginning, telling him: "Just keep it super loose, lots of energy in the eyes".

The video concludes with him adding: "Good energy in the eyes, I like the swagger. Just had a bit of a technical back there. Can we just go for another one? Chris Martin did 10 takes."

Noel Gallagher On The Plan For A Oasis Musical

In an exclusive chat with Jon Holmes, Noel said an American had pitched an Oasis "rags to riches" musical to him - and he found the idea hilarious.

Noel Gallagher has admitted that he might have blown the chance to make an Oasis musical a reality...because he found it so hilarious.

Noel was talking as he unveiled brilliant new song The Ballad Of The Mighty I, which features Johnny Marr, on the XFM Breakfast Show.

"Somebody did talk to me once about a musical, recently, an American dude," Noel told Jon. "And after I'd stopped laughing, I realised that he'd walked off."

Gallagher said the pitch was for "the rags to riches story of Oasis" to be put onstage. "After I'd belly-laughed and spewed up a drink, he wasn't there any more, so I don't think it'll be happening any time soon!"

Sting's multi-million dollar musical The Last Ship closed on Broadway after less than three months - something Noel didn't seem to have a lot of sympathy for.

"Some people have no taste, I find that staggering that people would not go and see a musical about a Geordie fella who doesn't speak in a Geordie accent who used to be in a band with a jazz drummer whose dad was in the CIA about him growing up in a shipyard.

"The mind boggles."
