Noel Gallagher To Write The Theme Tune For James Bond 25

James Bond 25 is still two years away but speculation on who will record its theme song is already well under way.

Following speculation covering the likes of Adele, Beyonce and even little-known bands, now Noel Gallagher’s name has re-entered the conversation.

The former Oasis star has always been open about wanting to record a track for the spy movie franchise, and now it seems he’s inching closer to his goal.

It seems working with film score producer David Holmes on his latest album has refreshed his inspiration, according to The Sun.

“Noel has wanted to do this for a while, and once he started working with David he saw it as the perfect opportunity to use his experience to finish some ideas he had already,” a source claimed.

“He’s going to put his music forward for sure to be considered.”

It had previously been reported that Gallagher had teamed up with Paul Weller to pen a potential ditty for the movie.

“I want to write a James Bond theme tune,” Weller told the BBC earlier this year.

“I’ve got this half a song that me and Noel Gallagher worked on and I think it would be great for a Bond theme. There’s a bit of minor key going on.

“That would be an ambition definitely.”

The 25th Bond movie, currently untitled, will be Daniel Craig’s last.

It’s confirmed for release in November 2019 in the US, with a UK rollout expected slightly earlier.

Paul Weller On Discussing Breaking Up Oasis With Noel Gallagher

Taken from an interview with Paul Weller by Gothamist, read the full article here.

Interviewer: I know Noel Gallagher is an old friend of yours, but Liam Gallagher said recently that you and Noel met to discuss breaking up Oasis. What do you make of their thing, where they snipe at each other in the press? 

Paul Weller: [Laughs.] I don't know man. It's like a sort of comedy duo, isn't it? It's like a comedy duo, but with no straight man.

Did Noel talk to you about that? 

Obviously not, man, of course not. Absolutely not. I mean, he's not the sort of person that would ever do that. And I wouldn't fucking want to be the person to have to give him advice anyway. But, they're both, how should I put this...sort of liberal with the truth at times, bless them.

'This Feeling' 'Alive' Tour Takes Up And Coming Bands On UK Tour

'This Feeling offer one of the few consistent platforms for up and coming bands. If you're going to see the emergence of a new great band you'll see them at This Feeling first. Come the revolution they will be crowned Kings. Long live This Feeling.' Carl Barat

'We are living in a world where guitar music has been marginalised so what This Feeling is doing at the moment is vital. This Feeling is the best club in The UK for future Rock and Roll stars. They believe in the power of guitar music and when Rock and Roll makes it’s glorious comeback you can bet your arse you will have heard it first at This Feeling' Noel Gallagher

'Single-handedly flying the flag for new British guitar music' Serge Pizzorno

Representing the very best of the new classic British guitar bands 'Alive' is This Feeling’s biggest national tour in its 11 year history. The club night has organically become the nation's No.1 live new music event and now has stages at major festivals inc Reading and Isle of Wight but the ethos remains the same; put on bands we love and back them to the hilt.

We've been told for years guitar music's dead, where's the next big band gonna come from? They're here, right here, right now. Years of building an authentic underground scene are coming to a head...THREE of the most exciting new prospects in the world of indie rock will tour together for the very first time in October 2017 PLUS the cream of the local crop in each city.

“It’s us against prime time and all that shit..." Tom Newman (The Shimmer Band)...

The line-up includes euphoric Verve/Kasabian sorts The Shimmer Band, Bang Bang Romeo who sound like a hard-edged Fleetwood Mac plus explosive Libs-esque indie hitmakers Blackwaters.

BANG BANG ROMEO 'CHEMICAL' : https://youtu.be/rq_sDA1EM3Q

THIS FEELING 'ALIVE' SPOTIFY PLAY-LIST : https://open.spotify.com/user/thisfeelinghq/playlist/4NvjaWacAV7x6yZ8rgyns9

The bands on the “Alive” tour emerged from playing This Feeling club nights and festival stages – a well-known hang out for the rockstars such as the Gallagher brothers, Kasabian, and The Libertines. Quickly gathering a reputation, their shared dedication to the scene, and ability to send intimate venues into frenzy means they’ve been handpicked by This Feeling.

The tour will represent the very best in British indie guitar music in 2017 and it’s This Feeling’s biggest national tour in its 10 year history – the tour marks the moment that years of building an underground scene comes to a head and national domination begins. This is the start of a resurgence in uncompromising guitar music.

A BIT ABOUT THE BANDS...

THE SHIMMER BAND (all shows)

The Shimmer Band have only released three singles so far (‘Freedom’, ‘Sunkick’, ‘Jacknife and the Death Call’) but they’ve gained such a huge following in so little time doing serious damage at this summer's festivals. The band make soaring euphoric electronica-infused indie with nods to late '90s Verve, U2, Doves and Kasabian. Arenas await these lot but academy’s will get their roof well and truly blown off come October.

BANG BANG ROMEO (all shows)

Bang Bang Romeo’s song ‘Johannesburg’ is the perfect introduction to rising Doncaster four-piece guitar band. A sound layered Hammond, brass, Ennio Morricone-esque warbly reverb and overarching magnetism of singer Lead singer Anastasia Walker comes across like Shirley Bassey if she’s grown up on a diet of The Last Shadow Puppets, The National, and Fleetwood Mac. Anthemic, stadium ready new single 'Chemical' is out now.

BLACKWATERS (all shows)

Formed at University in Guildford three years ago, indie rockers Blackwaters make clever, raw indie punk and are a perfect outfit to sit beside bands like The Libertines. The band currently only have a handful of singles online and with their Dead Kennedys-esque energy and Essex-raised singer Maximillion Tanner’s Jamie T-esque ear for pop hooks, the band are all set to explode.

PLUS SPECIAL GUESTS...

YVES (Bristol)
Catchy, infectious guitar driven melodies with a choruses so big they demand to be belted out at the top of ones voice (after only one listen). If you’re a fan of Catfish and The Bottlemen, you’ll love 'em.

CHAPEL ROW (Cardiff)

Thunderous bass lines, sky scraping guitars, infectious melodies wrapped around in your face vocals. One of Cardiff's best new Rock n Roll bands are coming your way.

THE ASSIST (Birmingham)
 Wolverhampton wonders The Assist new single “Wonderful’ is a sumptuous slice of indie dance rock. Following the success of their debut EP ‘Trouble’ which charted top 20 in the alt iTunes chart last year and rapturously received festival sets at Isle of Wight, TRNSMT and Reading this year, these boys are ones to watch.

SHEAFS (York)
Raucous in yer face punk rock reminiscent of (whisper it) the Arctic Monkeys. Seriously, that great. One of the stars of this summer's festival circuit, judging by the reaction (nuts) it's when ,not if, they step up to the main stages.

VIDA (Glasgow)
Vida’s previous single, the Oasis/Coral-esque ‘Fade Away’ was one of our favourite tunes of last year. The Hot Scots have followed it up with another beauty, the Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene / Weller) produced current single ‘Where We Came From’. Make no mistake Vida wear their influences loud and proud but this is no Oasis/Ocean Colour Scene tribute act, these boys are the real deal.

PROLETARIAT (Manchester)
Proletariat have been together less than a year but have sold out every Manchester show they’ve played, ripped up Y Not and Tramlines with an electricity and chemistry well beyond their years AND been asked to support Baby Strange and Cabbage on tour. There’s no messing about, Proletariat are direct, honest and straight to the point just like new single ‘Ignorance’, a snarling, frenzied riposte

Morning Glory has gone 4x platinum in the United States In addition, the singles "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova" went Gold in the United States.

The album, which was recorded in less than two weeks, contains arguably the band's two most famous songs, "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back in Anger", along with "Champagne Supernova" and their first UK #1 single, "Some Might Say".

In 1997 Morning Glory was named the 5th greatest album of all time in a 'Music of the Millennium' poll conducted by HMV, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In 1998 Q magazine readers placed it at number 8, and in 2000 it achieved the same position in Q's list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. The editors of Q magazine declared it the "album of the decade" in 1999. The readers of Q placed it seventh on the 2006 top 100 greatest albums of all time list. In 2003, the album was ranked number 376 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

History

The success of Morning Glory catapulted Oasis from being a successful Britpop band to being one of the biggest bands in Britain, with substantial international fame, and considerable press coverage in the mainstream and music press. The band played several massive open air concerts in the UK during 1996, which included two nights at Knebworth in front of a combined audience of 250,000 people (125,000 each night), with over 2.5 million applying to buy tickets.

02: "Roll with It" – 4:00
03: "Wonderwall" – 4:19
04: "Don't Look Back in Anger" – 4:48

12: "Champagne Supernova" – 7:27

Notes:

* Tracks 6 and 11 are officially untitled. In fact, the track listing bears no title whatsoever for these songs, merely a blank space.
* The excerpts from "The Swamp Song" are parts of the instrumental B-side to the "Wonderwall" single.
* The vinyl LP edition of the album features a bonus track, "Bonehead's Bank Holiday". This song appears as the 7th track on the album, immediately after the 43-second untitled track.
* "Step Out" had to be removed from the album at the last minute. The song, sung by Noel, was intended to have been the original track 8 (after "Some Might Say" and before "Cast No Shadow"), but was removed as the chorus was similar to the chorus of Stevie Wonder's 1965 track "Uptight (Everything's Alright)". Wonder's publishing company were alleged to have demanded a substantial amount of royalties from the album which Oasis weren't prepared to pay, so the track was removed, although not before the first promotional copies of the album had been released with "Step Out" included. The track was eventually released as a B-side on Oasis' 1996 single "Don't Look Back in Anger", with an amended song writing credit of 'Gallagher/Wonder/Cosby/May', and was included on the live album Familiar to Millions.

Miscellanea

"Hello" contains elements of Gary Glitter's "Hello Hello I'm Back Again" as Liam jokingly sings part of the song's chorus when the song begins to fade out.

On the cover of the album a man is seen brandishing what looks to be a vinyl record in its sleeve. This is in fact the master tape for the album. The man in question is Owen Morris, the producer. The photo was taken on Berwick Street in Soho, a London street well known for its independent record shops. The other man is BBC London's Sean Rowley.
