Listen Again To Noel Gallagher On BBC 6 Music Drivetime Christmas Party

For a third year in succession, Noel Gallagher joins Steve Lamacq with a sack full of records to soundtrack the BBC 6 Music Drivetime Christmas Party... and talk about his year in music.

Expect leftfield sounds and forgotten gems which Noel has dusted off from his collection. Previously we've been treated to alternative 60's cuts from The Velvet Underground and The Animals, alongside crackers from The Kitkats, Gino with Johnny The Greek and Kid Koala. So expect the same psychedelic sounds this time around.

Steve will chat to Noel about his world tour with The High Flying Birds, which ended in September after nearly two years on the road, taking in festivals and arenas on nearly every continent.

Plus we'll have Noel's thoughts on the biographical Oasis film Supersonic which came out earlier this year. And Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the annual Gallagher festive rant...

Ryan Adams On Oasis: ‘They’re Like Star Wars’

Ryan Adams has spoken out in praise of Oasis – calling on fans to vote for the movie Supersonic at the V05 NME Awards 2017, and comparing the band to Star Wars.

Earlier this week, Adams announced his upcoming 16th album with the new single ‘Do You Still Love Me’. Looking forward to the year ahead, we asked who he’d nominate for the VO5 NME Awards 2017, when he revealed that Supersonic would be his choice for ‘Best Music Film’.

“I walked into the theatre and I was bummed out,” Adams told NME. “I watched Supersonic, and I felt reinvigorated in a way I had not felt for so long. In fact I walked into rehearsals and we did something like six or seven hours straight of songs, where I just threw every single song I had ever written at the band to just see how many they could play until they were stumped. I was just so pumped.

“It’s nice to see how crucial this shit is on film. It should be no secret that being in a rock n’ roll band is fucking amazing and transformative. I thought the director did such a good job, because he made it fun to watch and kept a lot of the stuff out that mind have slowed it down.”

He added: “Oasis are like Star Wars – they’re like the fucking heroes returning. I mean, if you think about it, like Noel Gallagher is fucking Han Solo – he doesn’t give  a shit what you think about him, he’s gonna take the Millennium Falcon, which is his band, and just completely dupe the entire Empire. It really is so important that people know that fucking electric guitars can transform your whole entire spectrum of reality.”

Adams has toured with Oasis in the past, famously recording a cover of ‘Wonderwall’. Earlier this year, Noel Gallagher supported him in the US, with Adams performing renditions of ‘Morning Glory’ and ‘Supersonic’ during his set.

Speaking of the ‘genius’ of the Gallaghers, Adams continued: “One of the really crucial things of that film is that at the time that Oasis made their first record and were gonna become who they were, that most of the stuff around them that was turning to become noticeable was sort of dance music in the beginning of what later would become EDM. And just the early existence of that music, I don’t know much about the categorization of music but maybe that’s what people call like house music? But there wasn’t any band like Oasis when they came out, there wasn’t anything that, in my opinion, sounded anything like, what I think was like a tank made of diamonds, and they were just crushing posers everywhere.”

He added: “That’s what it felt like when I heard those riffs. I was like ‘wow, someone is actually playing like fucking huge riffs’ and the melodies were insane. I don’t ever listen to Oasis and ever feel weighed down by the ego of anyone in the band, even as egotistical as someone might want to say they were in interviews  – although a lot of that I think is them being funny because why not?

“I think the songs are so open, and that why they could play those tremendous concerts where its like a quarter of million people were there singing along, was because they were writing songs that could just open doors to everyone. To me, if anything says that at any one can do this; someone can play a riff on the guitar, and people can get so excited that they remember what that means…it sort of reaffirms the humanity that’s in all of us.”

Noel Gallagher Snubbed Offer From Strictly Come Dancing

Noel Gallagher has revealed he was asked to compete on 'Strictly Come Dancing' several years ago but he had no interest in stepping onto the ballroom floor at all.

Noel Gallagher refused an offer to appear on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The 49-year-old guitarist was approached to appear on numerous TV shows when he quit Oasis in 2009 and took a break from the limelight until he returned with his debut solo album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' in 2011.

Noel can recall but getting a phone call from his manager telling him producers wanted him for the BBC One ballroom show, but the offer was meant with silence.

During an appearance on Steve Lamacq's show on BBC Radio 6 Music on Friday afternoon (09.12.16), he spilled: "I was asked to go on Strictly Come Dancing. It was just when Oasis split up and I didn't do anything for like a couple of years. There's obviously someone there going, 'You know what. He'll be up for it now. He'll be desperate now.' My manager called me up, saying I don't really want to, legally, I have to inform you of this. Are you aware of 'Strictly Come Dancing'?' 'EEE,' the phone goes.' "

Noel was also once asked to appear on 'Top Gear' to take part in the 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' test track segment.

However, the 'D'You Know What I Mean?' hitmaker - who has barely spoken to his brother Liam Gallagher since their band Oasis imploded amidst a bitter bust-up between the two - spurned the offer as he can't drive.

He revealed: "I was asked to go on 'Top Gear' a lot and they would never ever seem to realise what I was saying when I say, 'But I can't drive.' 'Don't worry about that, Jeremy (Clarkson) will sort that out.' It's like, 'How? I can't drive. I haven't got a licence I cannot drive a car'. 'Don't worry about that, The Stig will teach you.' "

Noel has made no secret of the fact that Simon Cowell personally asked him to be a judge on 'The X Factor' but he had to politely decline the job because he knew his personality wouldn't suit the format of the pop star search show.

He said: "Yeah. I can't be bothered being on 'The X Factor', it's hard work all that kind of thing, you know what I mean? You'd have to be there every Saturday night, as well as sitting there in, you know, Birmingham Arena, sitting there thinking 'Kill me now.' Someone else 'Flying Without Wings.' This is just appalling. Clearly, you know, 'No.' "

Liam Gallagher Goes On Twitter Rant About Money Grabbing 'C***s'

Someone has clearly rubbed Liam Gallagher up the wrong way.

The former Oasis frontman took to Twitter to go on an epic rant at someone who had done him wrong.

In the bizarre outburst, Liam told his followers that he was "done" with "money-grabbing c***s".

"I tell you what I might be a lot of things but I'm not a money grabbing lying 2 faced c**t as you were," he wrote.

He's since deleted the tweets 

It comes as a filmaker close to Liam and his brother, Noel Gallagher, suggested that an Oasis reunion is inevitable.

However, that could be an issue considering since 2009 the siblings have not spoken or been in the same room .

Matt, 39, said: “The tricky thing is, the more people put pressure on them, the less likely it is to happen.

“But the way Noel talks about the fans at the end of the film is something he comes back to again and again.

"He’s very generous about their contribution, and I think he would do it for (the fans).

“Noel has never said no, but he makes jokes about it. Liam says, ‘Come on, let’s get back on the road!’ He’s keen to do it," he added.
