Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Next Single 'Riverman' Will Be Out In February

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' next single will be the 'Riverman' and available on February 23, 2015 according to AMAZON.

Album opener 'Riverman' drifts on a blissful acoustic grove, before building to a skyscraping guitar solo and a gentle sax solo.

Noel says "It's the sound of 1970's Sunset Boulevard with Santana playing lead guitar over a pothead groove, and a Pink Floyd saxophone player in the background".

He said the track was inspired by a night out with Russell Brand and Morrissey in Los Angeles.

The solo in 'Riverman' is very good and performed by Paul Stacey and very reminiscent of David Crosby.

Noel Gallagher has been speaking about his friend and neighbour Paul Weller who threatens him that if he ever reformed Oasis they won't be friends anymore.

He told the current issue of the NME "He threatens me that if I ever go back in Oasis that'll be it between us. He's always say's 'You f*cking heard all these f*cking things about your f*cking reunion?, and I'm like 'yeah I know' and he goes 'You're not f*cking doing it?' and I'm like 'No', and he's going 'Good good good'.

He added "Basically, if Oasis ever did get back together, which is highly unlikely. I'd have to leave London and move back to Manchester. Because he'd put my windows in".

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

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'.

Noel Gallagher On Pink Floyd, David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, The Who, The Jam And More

Below are Noel Gallagher's top iTunes album recommendations, check out his favourite songs, movies and TV shows here.

The Sex Pistols: Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols
"Probably the single most important important album of all time. Why? Because it reignited youth culture."

Pink Floyd: The Wall
"The scope, the vision, the story, the iconic guitar playing - not to mention the songs! I know every single word of it... staggering."

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

The Kinks: We Are The Village Green Preservation Society
"Probably the most underappreciated album of all time. Ray Davies was the unsung hero of the '60's... Storytelling of THE

The Stone Roses: The Stone Roses
"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."

Various Artists: The Hacienda Classics
"You really should've been there. One of my most treasured musical possessions... the sound of my youth. When it came out, it transported me right back to some of the greatest nights of my life. It never EVER lets you down."

The Velvet Underground: The Very Best Of The Velvet Underground
"Without The Velvet Underground no David Bowie. No David Bowie, no point getting up in the morning."

David Bowie: The Next Day
"No matter how hard they try (and they will try!) they'll never beat the jaw dropping moment when 'Where Are We Now?' was aired... the whole thing was mind blowing... properly mind blowing. A masterpiece."

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives: Behind The Music
"It changed the way I wrote music. Probably the biggest influence on my thing (whatever that is?!) since The Beatles."

The Jam: Snap!
"Weller the teenager writing teenage anthems... Rare as a decent B-side these days! No point in listing them, there's too many. Intense and unrelenting and he was only 23 when they split up!"

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'.
