Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Land In Mexico City

On Wednesday night, a guy in the Orpheum Theatre audience yelled out, “Where’s Liam?”

After the question was greeted with loud boos, Noel Gallagher, the former Oasis
guitarist/singer/songwriter playfully asked from the stage, “Who’s Ian?” and then said, “I’m not your brother” (referring to the band once led by his sibling Liam).

Before the haunting mid-tempo rocker “In the Heat of the Moment,” Gallagher turned sardonic: “The last time I was in this building was to see Marilyn Manson with my brother – quite an (expletive) evening, as you can imagine. This is my least favorite song off the new album.”

It may be his least favorite, but that doesn’t hold true for fans in his native England, where the song narrowly missed topping the indie singles chart.

“Heat of the Moment” is the second track on Gallagher’s second album, “Chasing Yesterday.”

Released earlier this year, the album debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. Sonically adventurous, the collection strikes a compelling balance between majestic rock and psychedelia, with more prodigious brass accents and guest guitar work by Johnny Marr.

Back in the mid-1990s, when Oasis had a prosperous run and battled Blur for the so-called Britpop crown, Noel Gallagher routinely made headlines abroad for his frequently provocative opinions. The same holds true decades later. Recent quotes about Ed Sheeran’s success, the shifting of One Direction and the possibility of an Oasis reunion have all made the music and tabloid press.
Performing a sold out show in Los Angeles with High Flying Birds, Gallagher delivered an invigorating 90-minute set that was split between tracks from his solo albums and a handful of Oasis cuts.

The Mancunian musician and his four-piece group (plus a three-man horn section) took the stage to a mellow remix of “If I Had a Gun.”

They launched the 20-song set in raucous fashion with “Do the Damage,” a sax-driven Stooges-meets-Sonics rave-up originally earmarked for “Chasing Yesterday.” The dramatic “Everybody’s on the Run,” containing a swelling keyboard crescendo by the Birds’ secret weapon, Mikey Rowe, was mesmerizing. He proved his mettle again on the rollicking “AKA … What a Life.”

Images of old family photos flashed on the backdrop for Oasis B-side “Fade Away.” Gallagher, playing acoustic guitar, recast the 1994 original’s raucousness into slower folk/rock territory and it worked well.

Lead guitarist Tim Smith unleashed some feedback and then the band locked into a maelstrom of careening sounds during “Lock All the Doors” that packed quite a wallop. The same held true for the catchy stomper “You Know We Can’t Go Back.”

A more subdued, reworked version of Oasis hit “Champagne Supernova” prompted fans to clap along. Gallagher gently admonished them, “Don’t! My kids always do that.” It was still electrifying as people hoisted beers in the air, several males sang along loudly, arm in arm, like they were at a soccer match and others took the chorus to heart by lighting up.

Elsewhere, the ominous and danceable standout “Ballad of the Mighty I” saw Gallagher dominate with a rare guitar solo. Like other tracks that run past the five-minute mark on his albums, it never became tiresome live.

Sinewy ’70s-styled groove rocker “The Mexican” really gave the horns a chance to shine, as did a ruminative “The Masterplan.”

More excellent Oasis nuggets included the quick, blaring “Digsy’s Dinner” (Noel handled Liam’s sneering original vocal just fine) and soaring finale “Don’t Look Back in Anger.”

Noel Gallagher Dedicates Song To Frances Bean Cobain At A Gig In Los Angeles

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Noel Gallagher has dedicated a song to Frances Bean Cobain at a gig last night at the Orpheum Theater in LA.

The daughter of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain posted a picture of herself with the Oasis star earlier today (see above) with the caption 'What did you do tonight? @NoelGallagher thank you so much for hanging out&the song dedication & being all around rad!'.

It's unclear which song she had dedicated to her at the time of press but Cobain has said in the past she wants Noel to sing at her future wedding. A source speaking to The Daily Star said: "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."

Cobain recently suprisingly revealed she prefers Oasis to Nirvana in an interview with Rolling Stone. “Sorry, promotional people, Universal,” she told the magazine with a grin. “I'm more into Mercury Rev, Oasis, Brian Jonestown Massacre [laughs]. The grunge scene is not what I'm interested in.

"But ‘Territorial Pissings’ [on Nevermind] is a fucking great song. And ‘Dumb’ [on In Utero] – I cry every time I hear that song. It's a stripped-down version of Kurt's perception of himself – of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation.”

Gallagher has a spectacular summer ahead of him including summer headline spots at Latitude Festival, Calling Festival and Summer In The City.

Noel Gallagher On U2's Live Shows

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Noel Gallagher might be busy touring with his High Flying Birds, but he had a chance to catch U2 live in San Jose on Wednesday night (May 20) … and he didn’t just attend the gig, but he loved it and compared it to “theater.”

“It starts off as a punk rock gig but then it gets intimate, there’s a lot of truth in it about where they come from and the people that they are,” he told U2.com, saying he was touched by the images of Bono‘s mom and kids.

Gallagher also went into detail about a screen that plays “inside of a video screen and it’s something else, it’s like watching a television but you kind of forget sometimes that they are actually there on stage and they are playing live. It’s a psychedelic experience.”

When he first heard about this screen, Gallagher admitted that he had no idea what the band was talking about. However, once he finally got to see it in person he felt like it was a “game changer, not only for them but for shows in general. It is something completely different.”

He also added, “You don’t expect to have that screen in that position and doing that thing … and the beauty of it all is that it still does not take away from what a great band they are.”

The Oasis member also admitted that he’s been a fan since 1983 when he heard “New Year’s Day” and has seen U2 numerous times. “With the greatest respect in the world when I saw the 360 [Degree] Tour I thought that was the end of something, and not in a bad way,” he said. “I thought, this is so staggering and huge and tall, so amazing, I thought this was the end of something and I wondered what the beginning of the next thing will be — and here it is.”

Noel also revealed he will be back to catch another U2 concert soon.

Bobby Gillespie Bono James Brown Morrissey Noel Gallagher Oasis One Direction Primal Scream Zayn Malik

Noel Gallagher On The Drinking Skills Of Bono, Morrissey And Bobby Gillespie

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Noel Gallagher—who recently said he’s lost “a f–king shitload of money” since Oasis split and, in potentially related news, advised One Direction’s Zayn Malik to “f–kin’ get a good accountant because life is very f–kin’ long”—is back with more colorful insights about the rock world.

Rock critic and editor of The Quietus John Doran interviewed Gallagher for Noisey’s The British Masters series and asked him who could drink more: Morrissey, Bono, or Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie. Gallagher responded with a predictably entertaining answer:

Bono, hands down. Bobby don’t drink. Morrissey is good crack. He can drink, and remains—doesn’t really get drunk though—he remains equally as vicious from the f—king minute you meet him until seven hours later. I lighten up once I’ve had a drink. Not Morrissey.

But Bono, he is really f—king brilliant company. I’ve been drinking with him, and I’ve been leaving a bar at 6 in the morning and he’s on the bar singing opera. And he’s got a f—king gig the following night with 70,000 people. And I’m being escorted out like James Brown—f—king pissed.

Alica Keys Billy Corgan Chris Martin Death Cab For Cutie Jay Z Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher On Jay Z's Streaming Service Tidal

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Noel Gallagher has taken aim at Jay Z's streaming service Tidal. saying "I don't sell enough records for that shite."

Asked by Noisey's John Doran about his throught on the lavish launch Gallagher seemed particularly unimpressed. He took particular exception to Alicia Keys introduction at the New York launch.
"Alicia Keys is up there giving a speech, like something out of the UN," said Gallagher. "I think 'This has got to be fucking bollocks. Nonsense!' I'm not surprised nobody's been bothered with it."

It echoes Gallagher's recent comments he made to Rolling Stone regarding his concerns for the service. "I think ultimately that the spiel they came out with, it was like, "Do these people think they're the fuckin' Avengers? They're going to save the fuckin' [world]." I was speaking to Chris [Martin] the day after, and I said, "Are you after a Nobel Peace Prize? Is that what you're after?" They were like, "We're going to fuckin' save the music business." And I'm just sitting there, thinking [imitates smoking weed] you might want to write a decent chorus for a fuckin' start. Never mind fuckin' royalties and the "power of music." Write a tune. Fuckin' start with that."

Gallagher's comments come in the wake of a number of artists casting doubt on the service. Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard recently said: “I think they totally blew it by bringing out a bunch of millionaires and billionaires and propping them up onstage and then having them all complain about not being paid.” Similarly Billy Corgan cast doubt about how Tidal was marketed as beneficial for all artists. "To try and sell it as an altruistic thing is disingenuous because it's not. He is taking his slice of the pie, which he has every right to do -- he is a powerful man and he works with powerful people....To sell it as altruistic - I don't buy it." My Morning Jacket's Jim James went one step further describing it as 'elitist and weird'.

Noel Gallagher will have a spectacular summer ahead of him including summer headline spots at Latitude Festival, Calling Festival and Summer In The City. He's also would rather that people would stop ask him about the Oasis reunion everyone is expecting.
