Noel, you are considered someone who usually prepares and goes to the studio with already finished demo songs. Through the producer David Holmes you have given the familiar control in part and even let him give you instructions. How hard was that for you?
To be honest, it was not hard. Of course, going to the studio without finished songs is brave, but I'm fuckin 'brilliant at improvising. I have reached a point where I can do anything. I can definitely afford it. However, I had a short-term fear that the recordings lead to nowhere. Ultimately, it worked, and I really enjoyed this way of working. David Holmeswas pretty strict to me. Whenever I came up with ideas that told Oasis, he said, "Stop playing that!" He gave me advice like, "Play it the way Blondie would play it." I was just sick of it, always with me my acoustic guitar to play songs about the weather. So it seemed like time to try something different.
On the bonus version of the album, " Dead In The Water " is a very touching song. Only you with the acoustic guitar and otherwise very Spartan instrumentation. My girlfriend had tears of emotion in her eyes. Why is not this piece on the new record?
I'll tell you a story: During the tour to "Chasing Yesterday" I had a longer period of free time, I sat in a hotel room and wrote the song within an hour. It just fell out of the sky. Some time later I was with my band at an Irish radio station where we played "The Dying Of The Light". After that we had some time left, and I started playing Dead In The Water. Just for me. Then the band got in - it was one of those magical moments you can not buy. I'm proud of the piece because it shows the essence of my work, the other Noel Gallagher . Stripped down.When we discussed the compilation of the songs of "Who Built The Moon?", The question arose as to whether there would be bonus content, and I said, "No, I have to disappoint you." But fortunately, this live version became recorded - which I did not know at this time. I am glad that the piece has not been lost. I can understand that your friend had to cry, because when I listened to it again, I immediately thought: girls will cry to this piece. Why the piece did not land on the regular album? Well, it's too fuckin 'good. I was just in the moment, started singing, and that's it . I'll do it all for myself, not you, not your girlfriend. I'm just trying to savor the pure moment.
We live in troubled times, the world has to endure , for example, Donald Trump . How can you act as an artist?
Two things: Why does the world have to endure Donald Trump? Why do people even care? Everyone has an opinion on Trump, people go on anti-Trump demonstrations. But honestly, he is not my president. Of course he's an asshole because he's a narcissist. If I lived in America, I would have an opinion on him, but that is not the case. I could not fucking care less . He has no influence on my life, in any way.
You supported U2 on her last tour. Bono is now a good friend of yours. He combines his role as a singer with political commitment. What do you like about him, when you seem to have opposing views on that point?
He is a very passionate person, full of dedication. He tries everything to have a good time. And that translates to the people in his environment. He just became a good friend. What can I say to the guy who is on stage? The lyrics are great and he has a great band in his back. He just finds the right words. That impresses me perhaps the most.
I do not want to upset you and ask you for the umpteenth time for a potential Oasis Reunion. Still, I would like to ask you one last question about your brother . Liam has released his solo debut. Did you hear the record , and if so, do you like it?
Eh. I do not actually listen to stuff from people I'm not a fan of. I listened to a few pieces. And yes, I can understand why the album works. Let's put it this way: People who love this kind of music will be able to listen to it satisfied. In any case, I'm not interested in what Liam says. Recently I met two people in the street, saying it was better than anything from Oasis. Really?

Oasis
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Front Row programme, Noel Gallagher has said that if Liam misses him and Oasis so much then “maybe he should stop tweeting about it”.
“I think probably the nation as a whole, particularly the media, would love for me to get a Twitter account,” Noel said, and added that he finds social media “exhausting” because “it shines a light on things that I find quite distasteful”.
“My wife is on social media and my kids are on social media and people come after them on social media and it’s not very nice. It is ugly, my wife has shown me things that people have written about her and it’s disgraceful. My daughter has shown me things people have written about her in regards to Oasis. That’s disgraceful.”
“It only heightens my resolve that I’ll never walk the stage with that band again,”
Noel said that he used to not want to reform the Oasis for “professional reasons” but that “now it’s personal”.
“People are coming after my family, and one particular person has legitimised it. And for that reason you’ve seen the last of Oasis.”

Below is a small Q&A with David Holmes from the current issue of Uncut.
UNCUT: What did Noel tell you he was after?
David Holmes: "He didn't tell me anything, really. He asked me to produce 'Chasing Yesterday' but I felt it was too far down the line to get involved, so I suggested making a record from scratch that didn't involve him bringing anything to the studio apart from his guitars and a bunch of pedals" .
UNCUT: And the process?
David Holmes: "When Noel arrived in Belfast, I had created about 10 loop-based backing tracks that were great jumping off points. Noel set up a chain of guitar pedals and we started experimenting with different sounds/melodies. He pretty much nailed everything that week. He then took the tracks away and slowly but surely started to write the songs".
UNCUT: Did you know Noel anyway? What were your expectations?
David Holmes: "I met him once after a Primal Scream concert in somewhere in Europe. He's obviously a great songwriter, but his skills on a guitar really surprised me. He's incredibly creative when he wants to be. Everything was down to a great vibe and instinct".

Noel Gallagher has said he's only worried about what his wife, kids and cat think of him.
He told Noisey in a interview yesterday “I don’t have social media accounts,I don’t get a live feed of what people are saying. My daughter is usually my … you know, when she comes in from school she’ll say ‘Oh god look at this’.
"But I don’t want anybody to know anything about me, so whatever the misconceptions are, that’s my fault. And I probably cultivate that. I’m not an overly private person, but I don’t give a shit what they think about me. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest.”
He added: “I for one, I’m not bothered what Mary Smith thinks of me, no offence Mary, and whatever her opinion is of me, that’s all it is. I only really care what my Wife and kids think of me, and my cat. My cat is important. If he didn’t like me, life wouldn’t be worth living.”
“Some people sit and have direct contact with their fans through Twitter and all that, and I don’t think that’s healthy. For either your fans or for you, because then you can’t detach yourself from it.”

Noel Gallagher has spoken about Brexit in a new interview, saying: “It was a legal vote. Fucking get it done and let’s move on.”
In a Facebook Live interview with Noisey yesterday he said “In England, the Brexit thing, it’s like, I can’t believe there’s so much noise about it,” he told Noisey. “You know what I mean? It was put to the people as a vote, the people voted. That’s democracy. Fucking get over it.”
“I didn’t vote because I didn’t think we should have been given the vote in the first place because as ordinary members of the public how are you qualified to talk about the break-up of the oldest continent in the fucking world, then the people trying to get the vote overturned, they used to call that fascism. But they don’t call it fascism any more because they’re fucking ‘right on’.”
“Personally, I don’t think we should have left the [European] Union because I feel right at the time of it happening, we turned our back on the French, who were going through some dark terror shit.”
“But it’s happened now,” Noel continued. “It was a legal vote. Fucking get it done and let’s move on.”

Noel Gallagher thinks his brother Liam is "obsessed" with him.
He said in a Facebook Live interview with Noisey yesterday "He's obsessed, as lots of people are. There's not enough hours in the day for me to get through the shit that I've got to get through. I don't know where he finds the time to sit on the fucking ... on Twitter. But it's clearly intoxicating for him."
He added: "I look at it philosophically. I'm here doing my thing, he's out there also doing my thing. You know, he's promoting my records, and as long as he keeps filling out the little form at the end of every gig, ticking off the songs that I wrote, it's all good."
