Bono And Edge Enjoy Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Concert In Dublin

Rock royalty descended on the capital this week as Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds took to the stage at Dublin's 3arena.

The Oasis legend packed the house on Wednesday night, but it wasn't only Britpop fans who were on hand to welcome Gallagher back to his ancestral homeland.

Fellow rock stars Bono, the Edge and their pal Guggi were also spotted among the revellers.

The U2 lads were seen enjoying the gig as Gallagher blasted out new tunes and Oasis classics.

Noel, whose parents were born in Ireland, was spotted out and about in town after the gig with The Edge. The pair were seen at new hotspot Sophie's, located in the swanky Dean Hotel.

The guitarists reportedly spent hours chatting in a private cornered off section of the trendy bar and restaurant.

It was the second night of Gallagher's UK and Ireland tour promoting his second High Flying Birds album Chasing Yesterday.

But despite the controversy Bono's best pal Guggi says the show was "fantastic".

"I really enjoyed it. It's the first time that I have seen him since he went solo," he told the Herald.

Noel Gallagher On Being A Frontman And Playing With U2, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Coldplay And More

Taken from a interview with Dutch magazine 'OOR' that is on sale now, thanks to General Dread for the translation.

Interviewer: Frontman or second fiddle?

Noel: Second man. All day. When the first High Flying Bird record was released, it was the first thing I was anxious of: me, in the spotlights, the one person that carries all the weight. Playing guitar all night, it’s all I know. Singing the whole night: that's pushing it. But standing in the spotlight that’s not where I feel comfortable. I knew that back then I know it now. I eased my mind by thinking, oh well, we’ll play some theatres and maybe some bigger venues, that will be manageable. But no, the thing grew and grew and in the end I was playing in a full 02 arena. Totally unexpected. Great of course that the tunes we’re liked, but it was never my intention. It’s the only thing that I'm not looking forward to now that I’ll be starting with chapter two: I know how big it could get and I just like being in the centre of the stage. I dare to say that I've grown accustomed to it, I know exactly what to do. But if it was an option I’d put a step to the side right now for a great frontman.

Interviewer: Name a frontman with who you’d feel comfortable?

Noel: Bono, U2. They already have The Edge but I wouldn't have a problem with playing second guitar for them. I’d fit right in. As long as you don’t pass him by. And there are others: David Bowie, even though he works so little that I wouldn't make anything of it. Neil Young, if a positions frees up in Crazy Horse he should call me. Bob Dylan. Paul McCartney. You know, I’d even dare to say Coldplay if I’d only have to play guitar.

Interviewer: Sometimes solutions are closer than you’d think…

Noel: From your view maybe. I see it more likely that I’d play with Coldplay or U2 then any other comparable band.
