Noel Gallagher, you might have noticed over the 20 years or so he's been at the summit of British guitar music, doesn't mince his words. Oasis may be behind him, but he remains as potent a pop culture force as ever – in part for his acerbic commentary on the rest of the pop culture around him. Jack White, for instance, "looks like Zorro on doughnuts." Radiohead are "less rock 'n' roll than my cat." Gallagher would also "rather drink petrol straight from the nozzle at a garage than listen to an interview with Alex Turner." And don't get him started on his brother.
With psychedelic new album Who Built The Moon? out today, we thought we'd ask the guitarist some important questions. What's the worst thing about the music industry? What are the dos-and-don'ts of touring? What drug is the best drug? Who's been his favorite celebrity encounter? And what's the best swear word? For the answers to these and more, dig into our latest episode of Confessions.

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'Fort Knox' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “There’s an alarm clock halfway through the song… I’m not sure why but it felt right, it felt like a wake-up call to people who have been listening to my music for the past 25 years. I’ve got to say, people who’ve been following what I do, they shouldn’t be too surprised. The Right Stuff and Mighty I and What A Life… were kind of not what you’d associate with what I did in Oasis. And of course working with Goldie and the Chemical Brothers in the past… but it makes me think there’s a new generation of Oasis fans who’ve come along, who are not aware of that. Like 15 year olds who’ve come along with an idea of what you should be, who’ve clearly watched Supersonic recently and have probably all got Union Jack guitars and all that, bless ‘em. It’s a great way to start the record, it’s going to be a great way to start the gigs.”

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'It's A Beautiful World' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “Beautiful World is not really a song about how beautiful the world is, it's a sarcastic song about how beautiful the world is. The video that I've made for it already should say a lot about it. There are some great remixes of it by Andrew Weatherall and Mike Pickering and Graeme Park. Andy's done this real deep, acid rock version of it, and Mike and Graeme have done this Haçienda classic version of it - I was listening to it the other day, actually, and it's incredible. It sounds like Can, that's all I'm saying, the German band, Can.”

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'Dead In The Water' that appears as a bonus track on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “I was doing a radio session in Ireland and no more than a few days earlier, I’d written that song in under two hours. I hadn’t played it to anyone. So I was sat with headphones on and the sound in the room was so amazing that while the engineer was messing around with this mike, I just started singing it for myself. I forgot all about it, fast forward the album’s finished, the inevitable question: have you got any bonus material? I said, We didn’t record any B-side material. Then someone in my office, Said what about that song you did that day in Dublin? The one about the water? He got in touch and they said Oh yeah, we recorded it. My jaw hit the floor - what’s special is that I’m singing it for myself. I listened to it and thought, It has to go on the album because I want to play it live.”

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'If Love Is The Law' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “David was like, it needs a guitar thing and some lift towards the end. When someone says that to me, I call Johnny Marr! He’s one of my oldest friends, he’s very gracious with his time. Not a lot of people know that he’s got a guitar shaped phone in his house, that only I have the number for - when it rings, it glows red and white, he knows it’s me. He picks it up and says ‘The Boy Wonder. What can I do for you?’ I’m afraid, Batman, it’s that time again. It still blows my mind that he would even come and help us with a track.”

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'Holy Mountain' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “Of all the things that I’ve read, the one thing that was never played to me in the studio was Ricky Martin. She Bangs. There’s the phrasing of the word She, that’s it! I understand people have got mundane jobs and they’ve got nothing better to do, commenting on stuff. It’s got a bit of Diamond Dogs in there, some Roxy Music doing Canned Heat, it’s got The Ice Cream, it’s got Plastic Bertrand. But when you’re making up stuff in the studio, and the clock’s ticking… it’s a way of working that I thought I’d never be into. This is pure expression, this is not thinking at all. It’s David jumping out of his chair, saying Do that again! It’s a real collaboration. He’s all about vibe, and I’m all about the songs, it was him going out there and me pulling it back, it’s a combination of both our styles.”

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'Black & White Sunshine' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “Of all the tracks on the album, this is the most traditional rock-pop thing that I do. I love this track live, it sounds like the Pistols live, there’s a bit of a nod to the Stones in there, The riff is very West Coast LA - sounds a bit like R.E.M. to be honest. I think it’ll be a live favourite for a while."

Speaking to Radio X yesterday Noel Gallagher talked about 'Be Careful What You Wish For' that appears on 'Who Built The Moon?'
He said “The first two verses are a message to my children. About be careful, chasing fame, money, drugs, that sort of thing. David said, just put it out there, just write as many verses as you can, like Dylan. I wrote so many verses for that song, It was really long at one point, and I said this can’t be nine minutes long, so we edited it down. It’s gonna challenge perceptions of what it is I do. The challenge for me is on the tour, how do we get Be Careful what You Wish For and Half The World Away - that couldn’t be more different - to work in the same night and everyone goes home happy?”
