More On Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 'Holy Mountain'

No comments

Noel Gallagher was speaking to Chris Moyles on Radio X in an interview that was broadcast this morning, this is what he had to say about 'Holy Mountain'.

“Holy Mountain is about your nearest and dearest, yeah. How it came about was, one of the first sessions we did, the hook line, the tin whistle thing that is like one of the most catchiest things in the world, is a sample from a track by a brilliantly titled band from the 70s called The Ice Cream, and a track called Chewing Gum Kid, don't try and Google it, it's beyond obscure, you'll never find it...

“So, we listened to that track, and he said, "D'you like this?" And I was like, ‘Wow! Why have I never heard that before?’ So, we sampled that bit, and the thing, dee, do, do, do... that just went round and round. I worked out the chords, did a bit of jamming on it and we put a drum machine on it…

“David said, ‘D’you think this will make it on the album?’ And I went, ‘Mate, this is gonna be the first single. If it kills me, I am gonna finish this song’.

Because there's so much joy in that track. My kids love it, it's already a playground anthem in Notting Hill. My kids love it, and all my mates' kids love it. When you hear it, by the second time you hear it, the thing's stuck in your head, and it becomes slightly annoying, I must say, but it's brilliant!”

Liam Gallagher's 'As You Were' Is Selling More Then The Rest Of The Album Chart Combined

No comments

Liam Gallagher is set for a huge No.1 album after selling more than the rest of the chart’s top 75 combined.

The former Oasis star shifted over 55,000 copies of his debut solo record As You Were in just one day.

His nearest competitor is The Darkness, who are currently sitting in second place with 4,000 sales.

Liam’s numbers include a huge 40,000 from people who pre-ordered the critically acclaimed record.

It will be the rocker’s first studio album chart-topper since Oasis’ seventh and final record, Dig Out Your Soul, hit the top spot back in 2008.

His two offerings with post-Oasis break-up band, Beady Eye, reached No.2 and No.3.

My music insider said: “Liam’s first solo album has already been a huge hit with critics and now it’s proving a hit with fans too.”

Last month I exclusively revealed how Liam said he would retire if his solo album didn’t sell well.

But there’s no need for him to hang up his mac and mic just yet!

Much to the relief of his fans and to the annoyance of his older brother Noel.

Insiders also predict that Liam could go on to sell over 100,000 copies by Friday’s chart countdown.

Although the number is huge in today’s music industry, the total is still well down the all-time chart for first week sales.

Adele holds the record with 803,000 for 25, followed by Oasis Be Here Now 695,761 and Ed Sheeran’s ÷ with 672,000.

Now it’s over to Noel to see what he can do with his band High Flying Birds, who release their third album next month.

Noel Gallagher On "Transatlantic Pseudo-American Bullshit" That Dominates The Charts

No comments

Noel Gallagher has spoken about the current state of pop music and how the charts are dominated by "transatlantic pseudo-American bullshit".

He told the Sunday Times “The charts are still dominated by transatlantic pseudo-American bullshit, put a rap in and pop chorus on it. Email it to someone in Mogadishu to put some maracas over it. Make loads of money.”

He added “I grew up in the golden age of pop, late 1970s, early 1980s. Nobody talked about lyrics. You listened. You danced. It affected your life. Who cares what it’s about?”

When asked "when did that change?" he replied “Around Britpop, when everybody wanted to be considered ‘an artist’. When Travis and Coldplay came and it was all introverted, why-does-it- always-rain-on-me? It’s not just raining on you. It’s raining on everyone. I’d rather write a song about the umbrella, not the f****** rain. Look at everybody’s first Britpop album, Oasis’s. Blur’s. Pulp’s. Raging joy.”

When asked "but wasn’t the angst that came after that a reaction to the excesses?" he replied “I suppose it did get darker when drugs took over, yeah. And then you end up with the Libertines — lads with no teeth and their grandads’ hats.”

Noel Gallagher On When The Oasis Reunion Is Happening

No comments

Noel Gallagher has been asked by The Sunday Times in a new interview when is the Oasis reunion happening?

He laughs loudly. “Would you do it?” he barks rhetorically. “You might for $200m. But let’s say you didn’t need $200m?” He genuinely seems to need that band like a fly in a pint, and, besides, he has his own family to worry about now — a lot".

He added “I get asked, ‘What about the fans?’ All I’ve got to do is direct you to [Liam’s] Twitter. What you’re seeing there is what it’s always been like — now it’s just out in public.”

Noel Gallagher On Tracks From His New Album, A Unfinished Song And More

No comments

Noel Gallagher has spoken to The Sunday Times about his new album 'Who Built the Moon?' that is released on November 24th, it's been reported by them that the album is packed with huge choruses and generic sentiments.

And that there are nods to Primal Scream, Doves and Chemical Brothers.

He said his wife Sara, who is “not into guitar music”, was the real test. “If I’m making music, she’ll say, ‘That’s nice.’ But I was playing something new when she burst in to say, ‘It’s amazing!’ I went, ‘Now we’re on to something.’”

As previously reported the opening track of the album, 'Fort Knox', was written imagining that Kanye West was about to put a rap over it.

While It’s a Beautiful World has a bit of French in which a women says something that translates as: “Rest in peace/It’s only the end of the world. The thing is, nobody in the studio spoke French, and they didn’t think to ask what had been said until the lyric sheets were printed. “But then France is a pretty volatile place at the minute”.

“There was a track we didn’t finish that was drawn out of the Paris attacks. And the Nice ones. We were working on it around Brexit, too, and not that I give a shit about that, but, symbolically, we abandoned the French at the time they were under attack. I felt bad for the French.”

“There was a bit on the news after the attacks, about something we put up in space, and it was so fantastic, what humankind had done. The very next day in the news, some shithead who used to work in Lidl was throwing gay men off a roof in Raqqa, and it’s, like, ‘You scumbag.’ The rest of us are discovering the cosmos and you medieval f*****s are throwing gay people. And he used to work in Lidl? In Bury? F****** c***. It’s all going to come out in that song.”

“Well, everything pre-international terrorism was a bit flowery to me,” he replies. “And what annoys me most is you see the mayor [of London] saying, ‘We will not be cowed.’” Gallagher says there’s nothing wrong with being afraid. “I get on the Tube. My eldest is 17. She uses the Tube. My boys are growing up in London and use public transport. I’m frightened.

“Are you going to walk into an attack and die? Or survive with half an arm? Are your kids going to walk into it on a night out? I’m not buying Khan and his ‘London will stand firm’. I live in the centre and it concerns the f*** out of me.”

Noel Gallagher Says Liam Needs To See A Psychiatrist

No comments

"I don't say that as a joke"

Noel Gallagher has said that his brother Liam Gallagher “needs to see a psychiatrist” following comments made by the latter about Noel’s performance at the We Are Manchester benefit concert last month.

Noel headlined the benefit gig, which was held in memory of the 22 people who were killed in the terrorist bombing at the Manchester Arena on May 22. Liam, who didn’t play at the show, later tweeted his belief that Noel’s performance at the gig was “a PR stunt” – though he later claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked, saying: “I wouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t say stuff like that. Can you believe that?”

In a new interview with The Sunday Times (subscription required), Noel gave his take on a number of the comments that have been made by Liam towards his sibling in the past few months. He was first asked about why he didn’t perform at the One Love Manchester concert, which was put on by Ariana Grande back in June, as Liam did.

“I didn’t get asked,” Noel said, adding that what was said about his no-show didn’t bother him. “It’s just noise. Ill-informed fuckwits.”

Noel was then asked about the donation of his royalties from Oasis’s ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ to help the families of those killed and affected by the Manchester terror attack – a gesture that was initially meant to be kept secret.

“Until Mr Angry bombarded the internet with his hate.” Noel said in reference to Liam, explaining that he then had to go public with the news about the donation. “So I’m getting calls saying, ‘Surely you want to do an interview?’ No. People died. This is not about me or some other idiot. A woman’s just woken up from a coma to find her daughter’s dead. Have some respect.”

Conversation then moved on to Noel’s headline performance at the benefit gig at the Manchester Arena last month, which was also held to re-open the venue following the atrocity.

“It was a strange night,” he said. “Because you live for moments when everyone is arms in the air with a song you’ve written, but you’re wishing this moment was never taking place, that ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ was still about this woman of a certain age, toasting her life passing by, rather than being an anthem of defiance.”

Asked about Liam’s “PR stunt” tweet, Noel responded: “For the second time. He needs to see a psychiatrist. I don’t say that as a joke. Because young Mancunians, young music fans, were slaughtered, and he, twice, takes it somewhere to be about him. He needs to see somebody.”
