Noel Gallagher On The Saxophone In Riverman

Taken from a interview with Dutch magazine 'OOR' that is on sale now, thanks to General Dread for the translation.

Interviewer: Baker Street or Careless Whisper

Noel: Ah, the saxophone. Baker Street, I guess. Proper tune. I've got it in my collection, but I never put it on not to even speak of Careless Whisper, but I do get it. The saxophone is a powerful instrument and that comes to the surface full on in those tunes. On this record I've got a sax and bass clarinet. That comes from some old 50’s rock ‘n roll which I enjoy, it’s more frequent in that era. And of course Pink Floyd. Dick Parry was the name of their sax player and he did lots of interesting things.

Listen to Dark Side Of The Moon. Pink Floyd to that moment, and still don’t make music in which you would expect such an instrument to show up and still it’s just there. Great really. It’s a risky move, breaking though all the rules and boundaries. When it became clear that it would fit Riverman, I directly thought fuck it, bring in the sax! Not in the line of expectations for a Noel Gallagher album, but it paid off immensely. Riverman just asked for it, it’s a tune that I'm very proud of, it’s a song that really hits home.

I'm really proud of it, putting aside that I can blow myself away with my own tunes. I already thought it is one of my best. Then the lad came in to play the sax and I thought: now it’s the greatest thing ever. And that it happens now, even after all those years. The guitar solo is ace. The vibe is grand. Throw in the sax and it’s beyond belief. Pink Floyd meets fucking Santana in a weird funk atmosphere. Fucking amazing.

Noel Gallagher On Getting Asked For Autographs And His Hatred For Selfies

Interviewer: Selfie or Autograph?

Noel: Autograph. I thought that was annoying, but then people showed up with their fucking phones. I never like going on photo’s but now you get approached by everyone guarded or unguarded any time of the day. If I'm shopping with my misses, or when I'm having lunch with the kids. Even in the toilets people come up and ask, Noel? Fuck no… That’s Spinal Tap. I don’t get those selfies I really don’t. You know what I would like to pass on to those people? I believe it’s from Africa that every time you photograph yourself a piece of your soul disappears. It also sounds freighting, you've been caught on camera. You can’t leave you’re stuck. It’s something I believe. So fuck of with your camera, especially when I'm walking in the street.

Noel Gallagher Says His Computer Is A Pain In His Arse

Taken from a interview with Dutch magazine 'OOR' that is on sale now, thanks to General Dread for the translation.

If you live outside the Netherlands you can buy the magazine from here.

Interviewer: How are you doing in the modern times? Three years ago you just bought your first computer.

Noel: I've got an iPad now, it has some games for the kids. So that they shut their fucking mouths when we’re travelling. I've got an app for Manchester City on which I can check the scores. And I've got access to my music. For me that’s quite a progression. I know people that really feel part of the whole progression. I'm not one of those people. It reflects my previous answer not so much nostalgia but not full on progression either. The computer is a pain in the ass. If I do get to using it, it never works, then it always needs some kind of update and that goes on forever. I'm sick of running into these things and especially having to call this computer guy: I can’t get it to work! Then he’ll drop by presses a few buttons, takes about five minutes and he’ll say: it’s up and running, that will be 500 pounds. Fucking hell! I wish I had that job haha! Shoving lazy old rockers their lack of skills in their face. What doesn't help is that I've got my guitars in the same room. So sometimes I've got the motivation to use the computer but then there’s always a guitar staring at me. And in the Gallagher home, the guitar always wins.

Noel Gallagher On Getting Asked The Same Questions In Interviews

Taken from a interview with Dutch magazine 'OOR' that is on sale now, thanks to General Dread for the translation.

If you live outside the Netherlands you can buy the magazine from here.

Interviewer: Will Oasis drive further apart or come back together

Noel: The ever returning question. Every time I’m done with one, the other comes. Maybe they have to, because otherwise you might not do your job properly. But I don’t get that journalists keep asking. I now get 10 questions a day, or sometimes 10 times per interview a question concerning a reunion. If I had news would I make it known through you? I don’t think so. I always thought and still find those questions pointless. Same goes with have you spoken to Liam? What’s your best song that you’ve ever written? What’s your ultimate supergroup? Mainly that last one is often asked by some dumb wit that thinks he has reinvented the wheel. I get those four every time and I fucking hate them. Next choice.

Noel Gallagher On Epiphone, Gibson And Stratocaster Guitars

Taken from a interview with Dutch magazine 'OOR' that is on sale now, thanks to General Dread for the translation.

If you live outside the Netherlands you can buy the magazine from here.

Interviewer: Epiphone or Gibson?

Noel: Now Gibson of course. If you can afford them you don’t want anything else, there’s nothing better. I started with an Epiphone because they were cheap and they look a lot like a Gibson. You saved two thirds on the price and that’s a lot when you've got nothing. I’ve never really parted with Epiphone, I’ve still got all my old Epiphones, the guitar on which I wrote Rock ‘n Roll star… Just like my old records, they have emotional value.

Interviewer: I've never seen you with a Stratocaster

Noel: Luck may have it, I just got one. Maybe I’ll take it on the road. It’s one of those things you try and they’re pretty good. In Oasis I played a pink Telecaster for a while, I still have that one. It’s been painted, it now has a classic yellow/white just like Springsteen. I didn't do it myself obviously, can you see me painting a guitar? I didn't like the colour, but it was a great little guitar, I couldn't let it go.

Noel Gallagher On Being A Frontman And Playing With U2, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Coldplay And More

Taken from a interview with Dutch magazine 'OOR' that is on sale now, thanks to General Dread for the translation.

If you live outside the Netherlands you can buy the magazine from here.

Interviewer: Frontman or second fiddle?

Noel: Second man. All day. When the first High Flying Bird record was released, it was the first thing I was anxious of: me, in the spotlights, the one person that carries all the weight. Playing guitar all night, it’s all I know. Singing the whole night: that's pushing it. But standing in the spotlight that’s not where I feel comfortable. I knew that back then I know it now. I eased my mind by thinking, oh well, we’ll play some theatres and maybe some bigger venues, that will be manageable. But no, the thing grew and grew and in the end I was playing in a full 02 arena. Totally unexpected. Great of course that the tunes we’re liked, but it was never my intention. It’s the only thing that I'm not looking forward to now that I’ll be starting with chapter two: I know how big it could get and I just like being in the centre of the stage. I dare to say that I've grown accustomed to it, I know exactly what to do. But if it was an option I’d put a step to the side right now for a great frontman.

Interviewer: Name a frontman with who you’d feel comfortable?

Noel: Bono, U2. They already have The Edge but I wouldn't have a problem with playing second guitar for them. I’d fit right in. As long as you don’t pass him by. And there are others: David Bowie, even though he works so little that I wouldn't make anything of it. Neil Young, if a positions frees up in Crazy Horse he should call me. Bob Dylan. Paul McCartney. You know, I’d even dare to say Coldplay if I’d only have to play guitar.

Interviewer: Sometimes solutions are closer than you’d think…

Noel: From your view maybe. I see it more likely that I’d play with Coldplay or U2 then any other comparable band.

Noel Gallagher On Russell Brand And Ricky Gervais

Taken from a interview with Dutch magazine 'OOR' that is on sale now, thanks to The Doctor for the translation.

If you live outside the Netherlands you can buy the magazine from here.

Interviewer: Russell Brand or Ricky Gervais?

Noel: Russell, he's a good friend of mine and we see each other often. A much more interesting person. You never know what he's up to, just that you always have to watch him.

Interviewer: Last year I saw you on the comedy night of Teenage Cancer Trust with Russell Brand in The Royal Albert Hall. You gave a somewhat questionable look from the box.

Noel: Yeah, that's because I'm very involved in the Teenage Cancer Trust and Russell and Noel Fielding were hosting the annual comedy gala. However, they had not prepared anything, and it showed. It was a big mess. It was funny, but messy and sometimes a bit over the edge. At the end of it, Russell got this boy up on stage, and shaved his head. Bald. Which is kind of acerb in a hall full of people who are sitting there in the context of the fight against cancer among youngsters. But, like I already said, you never know what he's up to.

Noel Gallagher Says Manchester United Is Scum

Interviewer: Manchester United or Liverpool FC?

Noel: Liverpool, without a doubt. The rivalry in Manchester between City and United is even fiercer than between Manchester and Liverpool as cities. And United is just scum. Just scum. From the f*cking lady who takes care of the tea to the smallest little youth player- horrible scum.

Noel Gallagher Says Fame Steals Your Dancing Shoes

Taken from a interview with Dutch magazine 'OOR' that is on sale now, thanks to General Dread for the translation.

Interviewer: Bar or Dancefloor?

Noel: Fucking hell, I do like a bar. Yes, the bar, that’s my place nowadays. Dancing is not my thing any more, to old. Back in the day, full on. I was often in the Hacienda in Manchester, I’d go mental, I found it fantastic. It’s become a mythical place now, but for my generation, in Manchester, it was the disco to go to. Funny how those things go. I wouldn't dare to dance now. That’s one of the down sides of being famous: people stare at you. If I hadn't been famous I could dance the whole night without being bothered, maybe even now. People would give a rats ass. You hardly ever see famous people on the dancefloor, such a shame. Fame kinda steals your dancing shoes…. Nice way to put it if I may say so.
