Noel Gallagher 'Destroyed' LP With Amorphous Androgynous

The 47-year-old rocker recorded the album with Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans of the electronic band in 2011, but claims he grew fed up with the musicians and got rid of the only copy ever made of the album because he wasn't a fan.

He explained: "The album got finished. We spent a lot of time working on it, but the way that they work is that they get me in and I play all day then they take it away.

"Then the next thing you hear, you go, 'Well, that's not what I was thinking'. It became apparent that they weren't making a record for me but I was making a record for them. You know me, that's not going to f***ing work.

"There's no bootleg because I own the master and I destroyed it. My manager's not even heard it. I wouldn't play it."

Although two collaborations with the duo appeared on his most recent album 'Chasing Yesterday' - 'The Right Stuff' and 'The Mexican' - the former Oasis guitarist said the music they recorded together was "underwhelming", so he never wanted his fans to hear it.

He told Noisey: "It was so underwhelming to me that I never played it to anybody. I'm not going to put records out to please people and their imagination, then they hear it and go, 'Actually, it's a bit s**&'. I know it's s*** that's why it's not coming out and that's the end of it."

Liam Gallagher Silent On New Oasis Reunion Rumours

Liam Gallagher has refused to be drawn on reports he is planning to reform Oasis without his songwriter brother Noel.

The famous siblings have barely spoken since the band split in acrimony in 2009, and rumours of a reunion have surfaced repeatedly ever since, with guitarist Noel frequently denying them.

Earlier this month, Noel killed off the latest speculation - that the 'Wonderwall' hitmakers were to headline Britain's Glastonbury festival in June - by insisting, "It's not going to happen" and blaming singer Liam for the constant rumours.

Now it has been reported that Liam, whose band Beady Eye folded last year after just two albums, could be set to reunite with members of the original Oasis line-up for a possible comeback without Noel, the songwriter behind all of the band's hits.

British newspaper The Sun reports the band's former manager, Creation Records founder Alan McGee, is behind the scheme to bring the notorious frontman back together with guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, bassist Paul 'Guigsy' McGuigan, and drummer Tony McCarroll, who all played in the original incarnation of Oasis.

A source tells the publication, "It's very early days but the wheels are in motion. Liam, Guigsy, Bonehead and Tony are all interested and keen to see how it can work.

They don't seem to mind Noel not being on board, even though some fans won't regard it as a proper Oasis reunion."

A spokesman for Liam declined to comment when contacted by editors at NME.

Paul McCartney Says Oasis Should Reform

Sir Paul McCartney has given his advice to brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher - who have cited The Beatles as their biggest influence.

When asked if he thought the Gallagher brothers will ever make up and if he had any advice for them, he said: “I don’t know if they will ever make up. It would be good because I think everyone likes brothers to like each other – and make up.

“It’s a pity because they are very good together. Like many brothers, they are crazy. But it would be nice if they got together. My advice to them? Just get together and make some good music! But they have got to want to do it. I think a lot of people would like them to do that. They are pretty cool guys!”

Paul Gallagher Thinks Oasis Will Get Back Together

Noel Gallagher continues to deny it, but an Oasis reunion is inevitable according to his other brother Paul.

The eldest Gallagher sibling has been DJing on Noel's solo tour dates recently.

But he believes it won't be long before Liam, 42, is back in the frame. Paul, 48, said: "I speak to the pair of them, I see Liam every other day.

"This is a big business. I'm sure (the Oasis reunion) will happen one day, there's too much money for it not to.

"They're a premier band. Regardless of what they say... money talks."

Paul is a major influence on his brothers, getting Andy Bell in Oasis and introducing guitarist Jeff Wootton to Noel, 47.

But he's pretty scathing about Noel's solo career. Paul told the Stage Left podcast: "Noel is a frontman now but he's not a frontman, he's a sideman being a frontman. There's more than getting up and singing to being a frontman.

"Whatever Liam does the crowd goes mental. Noel has the songs but not the presence and he'll never have it."

Paul isn't keen on Noel's latest solo album. He laughed: "I bought it to slag it off. Not my cuppa tea, I like things a bit more up.

"There's something missing in that record - Liam."

It comes on the day Liam accused Noel of plotting his exit years before they split.

Garry Cobain, 47, of Amorphous Androgynous revealed Noel was talking about working solo in 2008. After reading that, Liam posted: "Busted."?

Paul Weller Thinks Noel Gallagher Is Better Without Oasis

Though many Oasis fans may disagree, Paul Weller has argued that Noel Gallagher is better now as a solo artist.

The singer-songwriter had nothing but positive things to say about Gallagher, Blur and Pharrell Williams in a new interview with The Guardian.

On Gallagher and Oasis, he said: "I prefer Noel's stuff now to what he was doing with Oasis at the end."

Weller also described Blur's comeback album The Magic Whip - which topped the UK Albums Chart earlier this month - as "their best yet".

He also shared his view on Pharrell Williams' global hit 'Happy', describing it as "one of the greatest records" he's ever heard. Do you agree with Weller's praise?

Last week, it was confirmed that Weller will perform a set at The Great Escape on May 16.
On the intimate concert, he said: "It's always good to perform in smaller venues and I'm looking forward to playing some new tracks."
