Clint Boon On Noel Gallagher's Solo Album

Carl Stanley: So what’s your thoughts then on Noel’s solo album, are we in for a treat?

Clint Boon: Definitely, I’m guessing it will be really successful album, even people who didn’t buy the Oasis records will buy this record. Noel’s grown into a really well respected figure and his work appeals to so many nowadays, I could see there maybe being 3-4 life changing songs on it in the same way ‘Live Forever‘ was a big tune. Yeah, I’m betting its going to be a big album.
