Spend a few minutes with Liam Gallagher and it's clear the rocker hasn't lost any of his bravado, right down to counting himself among the greats in rock history.
But Gallagher does acknowledge that one band breakup — not, Oasis, but rather the demise of Beady Eye in 2014 — left him humbled and ready to temporarily step away from music.
Gallagher said leaving band dynamics aside allowed him to "mop up some milk that I spilt in my personal life.

A few questions taken from Noel Gallagher's interview with the new issue of Music Week.
Some of your best-loved songs are B-sides, so how do you feel about the death of the B-side?
“Well... the death of everything: 7”s, B-sides, venues, the charts, Top Of The Pops, record shops, you fucking name it. It’s a metaphor for life – all the old ways are dying gradually. The album will be next and then eventually the song, then there’ll just be fucking pop stars. Then they’ll die and there’ll just be emojis. Then they’ll fucking die and we’ll all be speaking Chinese.”
Do you wish you’d gone solo sooner, then?
“It’s hard to say. I was first offered a solo deal after Knebworth [1996] and turned it down... No, I think these things happen when they happen. I think it was meant to happen for a reason. I can be a bit of a fatalist when it comes to things like that and I tend to follow my instincts. There were plenty of times when I could have left Oasis, but for some reason, the night that I did, something instinctively said, ‘Now’s the right time’.”
Strangely, you’ve yet to play Glastonbury as a solo artist…
“They’ve never made me an offer I couldn’t refuse! But I do like going. I go most years so to play it would be a ball-ache for me, unless I could do the Thursday night in a soup kitchen somewhere. I’ve been offered it a couple of times and been like, ‘Nah’. It would’ve been in the middle of a tour and it just didn’t work out. But the festival itself is fucking amazing, I love it and I’ll be going next year.”

Noel Gallagher has spoken about releasing three EP's this year instead of an album to the new issue of Music Week.
Did the supposed decline of the album influence your decision to release EPs?
“No, I was on tour and I felt Who Built The Moon? had run its course. I was having a meeting one afternoon and it was like, ‘What about putting some stuff out next year?’ And I thought it was a good idea. I just thought, ‘I don’t have to make an album so it doesn’t have to be an artistic signpost, there doesn’t have to be a huge campaign attached to it, let’s just do three EPs’. We’ve come to the point where I’m just like, ‘Who am I making music for now – me or other people?’ I’ve just been following my instincts and they’ve come out great. I’m actually thinking of issuing the title track off the next EP with a written apology because it’s so far removed from anything I was doing a year ago – far less what I did in Oasis – that it will split what’s left of my fanbase [laughs].”

Noel Gallagher has spoken about songwriting and how it took eight years to write Oasis' Let There Be Love to the new issue of Music Week.
Congratulations on your BMI Award. Does the fact it’s for songwriting make it more meaningful to you?
“Yeah, because it’s such a personal thing. Have you ever read Isle Of Noises? This guy [Daniel Rachel] interviewed 30 British songwriters, from me to Ray Davies, about the process of songwriting and what’s fascinating about the book is there’s no hard and fast rules. Everybody’s got a different way of approaching it. So when you get an award for your songwriting, you’re asked to define it and I find it difficult because it’s such an instinctive thing to me. I’ve never received a musical lesson in my life, I’ve just got a fucking talent for getting a tune out of anything and the enthusiasm to see ideas through, and I really love what I do. But as for the actual how you do it, I don’t know. They fall out of the sky.”
But what usually comes first – the verse or chorus?
“The one constant is that the words will always come last. I’ll have arranged the entire song, then I’ll just wait for the words. The first line is usually the hardest and then they get progressively easier. Some songs can take 10 minutes to write; eight years is the longest I’ve ever spent on a song.”
Which song was that?
“It was off [2005’s] Don’t Believe The Truth... Let There Be Love. That took eight years to write. This Is The Place [took] four or five years because, ‘That bit didn’t work, I’ll have to write a new bit for that and then that bit worked’. But I find it difficult to talk about; it’s just something that’s always been there for me. I’ll have to get up and make a speech [at the BMI Awards] and no doubt I’ll fucking upset somebody while I do it, because I’ve got nothing to say [laughs].”

Noel Gallagher has spoken about his opinions on bands reforming to the current issue of Music Week.
When asked Lastly, we know your stance on an Oasis reunion, but what’s your opinion on bands getting back together in general?
He said "I get it because nostalgia is a disease that’s taking over the world, because it’s in such a shit fucking place. I’m the same - I will gladly sit in on a Friday night and watch Top Of The Pops forever because there’s nothing on the telly apart from some shit on Netflix about zombies, talking dogs and vampires. I’m a bit nostalgic about TV and the ’80s because there’s nothing decent for me to get my teeth into nowadays. I understand The Stone Roses [reuniting], who never got paid. Other than that, it doesn’t appeal to me in any way. I just don’t see what on earth you’re getting out of it. I mean, if you're skint, do it. Don’t lie about it though, just say you're doing it for the fucking money! Money’s
all right, it's not a dirty thing. I love making money - the more I've got of it, the better. I guess it’s a personal thing: I don’t need:the money; I don't need the hassle; I don’t want to put the High Flying Birds on hold for two years to go around the world arguing with someone I don't get on with, what's the point in doing that? So it doesn’t appeal to me. If I ever lose all my money investing in fucking arms dealing somewhere in Chechnya and I'm skint, trust me, I’ll be the first at the press conference. But I won’t be lying about it, I'll say I’m doing it for the fucking money."
