Noel Gallagher On Touring With Oasis

Noel Gallagher learnt good touring practise in Oasis, which he hopes will help him on his upcoming series of shows across the world.

The 47-year-old singer admitted his days touring with his former band have influenced his current gigging practise, as he knows he needs to behave to ensure his live show doesn't suffer.

Speaking to Absolute Radio's Pete Mitchell, he said: "So all the things that we should have avoided doing in Oasis, I can avoid those now and kind of keep all the good bits and try and somehow bring that into what I do.

"It's one of things where Oasis maybe suffered in that you've got to be on it from nine o'clock every night. That means you can't be still up shouting and singing Beatle songs off a balcony at five o'clock in the morning. You can't."

The Britpop musician made the comments shortly before taking to the stage with his band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, at intimate London venue the Rivoli Ballroom where he performed an hour-long secret set for lucky Absolute Radio competition winners on Friday (27.03.15).

Performing stellar hits from their eponymous 2011 debut release including 'Everybody's On the Run' and 'Dream On', the band were celebrated by the audience of superfans who sang along to the well known tracks, and chanted the music icon's name between tracks.

Interjecting songs with some hilarious foul-mouthed audience interaction, Noel and his band were on top form with set highlights including pacey new single 'Ballad of the Mighty I' and 2011 single 'If I Had a Gun...'.

Despite vowing not to perform any Oasis songs during the set because, "a) I've got a f***ing album to sell, and b) you got in for f**k all," the performance culminated in a mass sing-a-long to fan-favourite 1995 B-side 'The Masterplan', providing the perfect conclusion to a gig showcasing the talents of one of Britain's most respected musicians.

Fans can listen to the full radio broadcast of the gig and interview on Sunday April 12 from 6pm on Absolute Radio. For more information head to www.absoluteradio.co.uk.

Noel Gallagher Says His Solo Career Cost Him A "Few Million" Pounds To Launch

Noel Gallagher has admitted setting up his own Sour Mash Records label to launch his solo career cost him a "few million" pounds.

The 'Ballad of the Mighty I' singer established his Sour Mash Records label after leaving Oasis in 2009 and admits the costs were so high, he refused to tell wife Sara MacDonald the truth about his financial position for some time.

He admitted: "Everything I've done since I left Oasis has come from my own pocket.

"You've got to pay for the tour, got to pay for the wages and you don't really break even for about nine months.

"I don't mean I lost money. I mean I lost a f***ing s**t load of money. It was a few million, like.

"I had to lie to Sara at first, and when I eventually did tell her, she freaked out -- I mean freaked out.

"So I come out with, 'You know, a year ago, this happened... and she was like, 'What the f***ing hell did you do that for?'

"I said, 'I did it because I felt like I could and I didn't want to be signed to a record label, I wanted to do it myself'."

Despite putting himself in a precarious financial position for a while, Noel's gamble for artistic freedom paid off.

Noel insists he doesn't care about his chart positions or record sales because he knows music doesn't sell as much now as back in the hey day of Oasis.

He told Loaded magazine: "I don't worry about the music getting to number one or anything. I never have done really. Well, maybe I did between 1994 and '97, back when I wanted to rule the world.

"If it has got to the point where you're listening to it, it's got to the point where I'm happy with it.

"People aren't buying as many records as they were four years ago so sales are likely to decline, but it won't make it any less a record."

Noel Gallagher Says James Blunt is F*cking Rubbish

Noel Gallagher has responded to James Blunt's claims that people in the music industry tried to get him to change his accent so he sounded less posh.

He told Loaded “Posh people are alright. I have a lot of posh friends. But James Blunt doesn't get people’s backs up because he’s posh, it’s because he’s fucking shit.“What held him back is the fact he’s fucking rubbish. That’s shit about his accent, he sings in an American accent anyway. I don’t think there are too many posh people in the arts - I don’t think there’s enough working class in the charts.”

Noel also has no desire to be on social media.“It’s not for me, he says. “I have an Instagram account that I’ll be doing on tour. I do a tour blog as well for the website but nobody needs to know what colour socks I'm wearing or what I'm having for breakfast. For me, there’s not enough mystery in the world.

Noel Gallagher's Selfie Rules

Noel Gallagher has told Loaded his selfie rules, they are only approach him if he's stood still and definitely not on a night out.

He said “If I’m walking somewhere and on the move, well sometimes I don’t want to be mithered, certainly not on a night out. If I’m standing still on the tube or in a shop or waiting for a cab, then alright, but not if I’ve got a pace on. It depends what mood I’m in. So some days I’m in a ‘No’ mood all day.” Got it. Basically only approach if stood still – but not on a night out. Some people are so f*cking rude though. Like this for instance – this just happened the other day, and even starting to tell you I’m getting wound up.”I sit back and get comfy on the sofa. Some f*cking Cockney dick second-hand car salesman said to me as I’m waiting for a taxi, ‘Excuse me mate, can you get a picture with my lad?’ So I’m looking round and I’m like, ‘Well, where is he?’ So he shouts to his wife and some little kid comes out dressed exactly the same as his fucking dad.“Well, this lad didn’t have a fucking clue who I was".

He added “This lad is looking at me backing away, clearly no f*cking idea. “Anyway, I put my arm around him and he takes the picture and as the guy is walking off he’s looking at the picture and says, ‘Yeah, you might want to try f*cking smiling next time’. I couldn’t quite hear what he said but there was another guy walking past and HE said, ‘That’s so f*cking rude!’“So I shout after him, ‘Oi! What did you say!?’ But he carries on walking. “He was lucky my wife wasn’t there that day. I’d have put him on his fat f*cking arse. Dick.”

Noel Gallagher On The Offers To Go On Reality Shows He Got After Oasis

Noel Gallagher has said he received a barage of offers for him to go on reality shows after he left Oasis.

He told Loaded "When I left Oasis, there was a barage of offers for me to go on reality shows as everyone thought, ‘Well, he’s going to be unemployed now’. But I fucking can’t stand Strictly Come Dancing. I know Claudia Winkleman a bit and I saw her at a party and said to her, ‘What are you fucking doing that show for? You’re better than that.’ I don’t mind the jungle one (I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.) I like it if there’s a headcase on it. If Shaun Ryder’s on, yes. John Lydon, absolutely. Jordan and Peter Andre, not for me, ta".

Andy Bell Reformed Ride Before Beady Eye Split

British Rocker Andy Bell Had Already Reformed His 1990s Band Ride Before Liam Gallagher Announced Beady Eye Had Split.

Bell first found success with the Leave Them All Behind hitmakers, but following their break-up in the mid-1990s he went on to work with Gallagher in Oasis and his later band, Beady Eye.

Gallagher announced in October (14) that he was disbanding the group, and Bell revealed the following month (Nov14) that he was reforming Ride, but now it has emerged he was already rehearsing with his former bandmates and preparing for their relaunch when Beady Eye split.

Bell tells Uncut magazine, "I knew Beady Eye was going to be on writing time, and this spring would be pretty free. I told the Beady Eye guys I wanted to do this. Later on, the news came though from Liam that he was calling it a day. So it meant that instead of being two weeks of gigs, it would be a little more."

Kurt Cobain's Daughter Frances Wants Noel Gallagher To Perform At Her Wedding

Frances Bean-Cobain wants Noel Gallagher to perform at her wedding.

The daughter of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain is keen for the former Oasis star to play at her and fiancée Isaiah Silva's big day this summer because she was a huge fan of the group during her younger years.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Oasis are the band Frances listened to while growing up. Her wedding day wish would be to have Noel to play an intimate acoustic set."

However, Noel might not be too keen on the gig if the 22-year-old artist's mother Courtney is at her nuptials as he recently admitted he once hid from the Hole singer when she visited Oasis in Los Angeles because he couldn't deal with her "rowdiness".

He explained: "I read an interview with her once and she said, 'I can't f***ing believe this. I know everyone in London and I've never f***ing met Noel - was he hiding from me?' And the answer is, 'Yes.'

"I was in a studio in LA and we were in the back recording [2005 Oasis album] 'Don't Believe The Truth'. And reception called us as said, 'Just to warn you - Courtney Love's just walked in.'

"I knew Liam was running around in reception and I thought, 'Brilliant, that's a f***ing meeting of minds right there.'

"I could hear her shouting, 'Where's Noel? I gotta meet Noel!' So I grabbed a cig, exited out the back door and went straight back to the motel and locked the door.

"I was like, 'I can't be dealing with her rowdiness - f***ing hell, no way.' But I applaud her."

Frances and Isaiah went public with their engagement in October 2011 and he previously admitted they are "each other's everything" and much prefer staying in and reading books or watching TV than going to a club.

He explained: "We're homebodies. We don't go out to clubs so you won't find us stumbling out of them with Lindsay Lohan. We stay at home, read books and watch 'Arrested Development'."

Noel Gallagher Says Ed Miliband Can Go F*ck Himself

Noel Gallagher has been asked by the new issue of Loaded will he go with Russell Brand's revolution or David Cameron, Nick Clegg or Ed Miliband's austerity in the upcoming General Election.

He said "Ed Miliband can go f*ck himself. As can f*cking Nick Clegg, as can Dave Miliband, honestly when I look at that guy, I would be nervous if he was running the country. I think he was put there by his party and his party are communists. I dunno, I don't get the Labour party at the minute. If Nick Clegg wants to become my butler, well he can do".

He added "Dave (David Cameron), he's just a Bullingdon boy isn't he? He's not one of us, he's one of them. And Russell's (Russell Brand) revolution? Hardly a viable opinion is it? I think I might vote for the most ludicrous thing on the ballot paper, I don't know what that be but it was a pirate last time".
