Noel Gallagher
Sex Pistols
Noel Gallagher has spoken to the current issue of Q about the Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks' album.
He said "Well, it changed everybody's life. When I see these Top 100 LPs lists I think it really should be number 1 for many, many reasons. The main one being that if that album and that band hadn't happened you wouldn't be doing what you're doing now. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing . The person that signed me wouldn't be doing what he was doing and your editor, he wouldn't be doing what he's doing now. They gave a shot in the arm to the youth. And on top that, if you listen to it now it sounds like it was recorded tomorrow. It bring back excellent memories for me of learning to swear. I remember I had to buy it on tape to hide it from my mum because of all the swearing. Their social impact and all that, I was a bit too young to be honest, but what a f*cking great band!"
He added "That 'Definitely Maybe' is even mentioned in the same bracket as 'Never Mind The Bollocks' is staggeringly flattering. If you're looking at a young person's life, both records are equidistant, 'Never Mind The Bollocks' is the angst of the '70s and 'Definitely Maybe' is the joy of being on the dole in the '90s. They both fall from the same tree, for sure."

Bradley Wiggins
Oasis
Bradley Wiggins has spoken to the current issue of Q about Oasis debut album 'Definitely Maybe'.
He said "It sounds cheesy now but the album that changed my life was 'Definitely Maybe' by Oasis. I was 14 and that song 'Rock 'N' Roll Star, with the lyrics, 'I live my life in the city/There's no easy way out.' I grew up in London and that's how I felt. It meant a lot to me."

Noel Gallagher has been speaking about the name of his new album 'Chasing Yesterday' that is released on March 2.
In an interview with the Manchester Evening News he said “Dreadful, isn’t it? Let me explain how this has come about.”
A women from his label told him ‘We need a title by three o’clock cos it’s going up on iTunes for pre-order’, “I said, ‘What time is it now?’, and she said ten past one.
“I scanned the lyrics to pick something out and there’s a line that in the context of the song is about somebody saying to somebody else, we should stop chasing yesterday and look to the future, man.
“But I didn’t realise until I’d seen it on its own, ‘Hmm, it doesn’t scream joy to me’. But I blame it on a really ******** heavy tequila hangover I had. I called them up and asked if there was any chance I could change it; they said no, it’s already gone.
He added “In my defence I will say this: it’s only a title, and titles are not important because you would have to go a ******* long way to find something worse than (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.”
If this album has a weak point, then its title can be the only culprit. Mainly because it implies a hint of nostalgia - something Noel says he still doesn’t have (“I’ll watch the History channel,” he laughs, “but I don’t hark back to the good old days because I prefer living in the now. There’s only two important days in the week and that’s today and tomorrow.”).
An extended interview with Noel is in the latest edition of CityLife, inside Friday's M.E.N.

Noel Gallagher has been speaking about his new album 'Chasing Yesterday' that is released on March 2..
In an interview with the Manchester Evening News he said "The last record was very cinematic and choral, and this is a little bit darker.," he says.
“If the last record was a very expensive film with a strong narrative from start to finish, like a really brilliant movie, this is a collection of songs and like a brilliant TV series.
“Like Match of the Day,” Noel laughs. “Match of the Day 2, as a matter of fact.”
He added “There were big gaps in the record before where that saxophone ended up,” Noel laughs. “I just had the idea one day, ‘What about a saxophone?’, and the guy came down one day and played it and that was it.”
When questioned What would 1994 Noel think of it? he replied “Initially he would have resisted it. But I would have convinced him within quarter of an hour. I’d have said, ‘******* hell mate, don’t be a square. Get a ******* saxophone in, you daft ****’.”

Noel Gallagher has been speaking about reforming Oasis .
In an interview with the Manchester Evening News he said he’d do it “in the morning, if somebody puts half a billion pounds in my bank account. That’s not million; billion. Sterling. I’m there.”
He admitted he's enjoying his solo carear “When you’re writing lyrics for someone else to sing, it can be a bit tricky - particularly with Liam because you’d show him lyrics for a song and he’d go, ‘Is this about your ******* bird?’,” .
“I’d be like, ‘Let’s have a look ... erm, no. Just pretend it’s about your bird’. Now, with the songs I write, I’m free to get as personal or vague or existential as I like. I’m not a slave to anyone.”

Noel Gallagher has been speaking about losing touch with his Manchester now that he lives in London.
In an interview with the Manchester Evening News he said “It’s always in your heart and it’s always in the memory bank,” .
“Do I still feel connected? I still feel connected to the football club and I still feel connected to the people.
“But when I go up there at the weekends, there’s a different kind of head case up there and it’s like a Disneyland - it’s like being in a theme park for lunatics. It is mental.”
The track, While The Song Remains The Same, was inspired by a walk Noel used to take every week through the city centre. “How that song came about was I was coming up to see (Manchester) City 18 months ago,”
“I used to live on Whitworth Street and on a Saturday I would do this specific route, walk around the shops to see my mates that worked at the shops, and then walk back to the flat.
“That Saturday 18 months ago when I was up there, I thought, ‘Do you know what? I’m going to do that walk again because I haven’t done it since I was in my 20s’.
“At every turn, the landmarks of my life had gone. And I was shocked. Pubs that used to be there were health clubs and restaurants, and some of the buildings aren’t there. And there’s a whole other part of the city built after the IRA bomb.
“It was like, ******* hell, I kinda don’t recognise it any more. When I got back to London my wife asked why I was so sad about it, and I told her it was because I would have liked to do that walk with my sons and shown them where I played for the first time, or this was the Hacienda.”

Following its initial AW14 success, adidas Originals x SPEZIAL returns this season with an offering that boasts 11 apparel pieces and seven footwear styles.
Born out of a collectors exhibition in 2013, the range is curated by three-stripe obsessive turned brand consultant Gary Aspden, and utilises adidas Originals’ long standing leisurewear sector.
For SS15 the line remodels authentic pieces via premium materials and contemporary silhouettes; standouts include the S.T.9 rain jacket in Climastorm and the 4-pocket Haslingden anorak in a waterproof organic ETA. Elsewhere a cardigan by the name of Freizeit gets reworked in a luxury Italian Herringbone and the Beckhenbauer tracksuit translates to navy.
Otherwise-nostalgic shoe styles are married up with modern features to create new hybrids; the Albrecht SPZL takes notes from the adidas Leisure series and the Waterproof SPZL was inspired by the brand’s debut Gore-Tex leather.
First screened at the ICA earlier this month, a short by Nick Griffiths and &SON Film accompanies the collection (available to watch below); it sees a young guy adorned in the latest collection journey from Munich to the home of Adi Dassler in Herzogenaurach, mirroring Asdpen’s own tour of the adidas archives.
The film is scored by Oscar winning composer Atticus Ross, Gone Girl, The Social Network, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Ross models the new collection alongside Jagwar Ma, Noel Gallagher et al.

Noel Gallagher releases his second solo album on Monday, and it seems some parts of it find the frontman and former Oasis guitarist in slightly nostalgic mood.
Not only is his latest High Flying Birds record called Chasing Yesterday, it also features a song inspired by Manchester and the streets he used to knock about in when Oasis were still trying to get noticed.
The track, While The Song Remains The Same, was inspired by a walk Noel used to take every week through the city centre. “How that song came about was I was coming up to see (Manchester) City 18 months ago,” Noel exclusively told The Diary.
“I used to live on Whitworth Street and on a Saturday I would do this specific route, walk around the shops to see my mates that worked at the shops, and then walk back to the flat.
