Oasis Mouthpiece Talks Fitness, French Fries And Free Music

Even his combative brother Liam knows you don't start a scrap that you can't finish with the pugnacious Noel Gallagher.

Especially now, when the Oasis leader — thanks to a strict workout regimen that incorporates boxing — is in his slimmest, trimmest fighting form in years. He's so fit at 41, in fact, that he just foiled a crime in his native London by confronting two hoods attempting to steal a former Bond girl's purebred dog. Even when he was tackled by a crazed fan onstage in Toronto recently, breaking three ribs and bruising another five in the process, he picked himself up, grabbed his guitar and plowed painfully on with the set anyway.

So Noel figures his body can still handle the occasional Bacchanalian road-trip party during the band's tour on behalf of its latest album, Dig Out Your Soul.

"Even though things start to not repair themselves as quick as they once did at my age, I think being in a band keeps you young, at least mentally, and I have a lot of nervous energy, which helps," he explains. "Plus, I'm lucky enough to be able to have home gym equipment. I've always shied away from exercise because of the clothes, the gear you have to wear when you do it. But I'm not a fitness freak, and when I'm on the road, I've gotta say it's just fucking club sandwiches and french fries, and I kinda like that. Because on the road, it's not supposed to be a health farm, now is it?"

And while much of Gallagher's Dig material is lyrically — even musically — zenlike, à la "The Turning," "Waiting for the Rapture" and the mantra-ish single "The Shock of the Lightning," he's not above taking a few swipes at any dastardly downloader who wants it, gratis.

"All that stuff about giving music away for free on the Internet?" he says, sniffing disdainfully. "We're not giving ours away, because it costs too much fucking money to make. But if some kid out there who can't afford to buy our record can find it for free, more power to 'em. But putting it out for free like some bands are doing? Get the fuck out — no fucking way."

Oasis still sounds thuggishly old-school when it comes to modern technology — with one major personal concession, Gallagher acknowledges. He sees the iPod as "the greatest invention, ever. And me, personally? I carry my entire record collection around in my pocket. Fuck me, man — it doesn't get any better than that!"

And besides, he adds, a brief Oasis summer tour of Britain just went on sale.

"We just sold nearly a million tickets in two days. And you cannot download that shared experience. You cannot download 50,000 people in a stadium, and even if you could, it wouldn't be the same. And that's the greatest thing.

"With all this stuff about music being given away for free and all that bollocks, if you can play your instruments, if you can get up onstage and inspire people, then you've got it made. D'ya know what I mean?"

Noel Gallagher Wants To Be A Priest

Noel Gallagher says he wants to be a priest.

The Oasis guitarist - famed for his hard partying - believes he would be well-suited to a career in the Catholic Church if he wasn't a rock star.

He said: "I'd be a priest. I would bring a healthy dose of reality. Put your money in the basket and let's drink some wine.

"When the wine is gone down we'll sit around and try and work out what the deal is with life and the universe. I would be a different kind of priest, see."

Noel also claimed he should be the band's frontman because he gets more attention from women than his brother, singer Liam.

He added to Britain's Elle magazine: "Liam used to be a sex symbol until he got his hair cut like a woman.

"I ooze sex appeal. I should be the frontman. It's a curse - women won't leave me alone."

It's Supermarket Treat For Noel Gallagher

Most blokes see the weekly food shop as a chore. But Oasis lord Noel Gallagher loves it.

He stepped out for groceries with missus Sara MacDonald and son Donovan in Hollywood.

Noel reckons supermarkets keep him grounded.

He said: “I can be doing I Am The Walrus at rehearsal then, ten minutes later, I’m in Waitrose and I feel normal.”

Dig Out The Soul Of Oasis

When Noel Gallagher turned over production duties, it gave him a chance to dig out the soul of Oasis - and to spend more time drinking

Noel Gallagher has returned to his roots. For the Oasis helmsman, the homecoming has not involved laborious genealogical research or reuniting with childhood friends. Instead, it's meant ceding control of production duties on the band's latest album, Dig Out Your Soul, setting out on a worldwide tour and getting drunk. Really drunk.

"I felt like I'd gone as far as I could with my own thing," Gallagher explains. "I'm not really technically proficient in the studio. I know how to get one sound, and it's fucking great, but I've kind of gotten a bit bored of it now."

In passing the responsibilities of production entirely to Dave Sardi, Gallagher said he had more space to focus on priorities.

"It allowed me to focus more on drinking and kind of just being in the band as opposed to being one foot in the band and one foot in the production team," he says. "But the main thing was the drinking."

The newfound creative freedom and access to alcohol wasn't the only shift for Gallagher or his brother Liam or the band as a whole on Soul. From the dynamic of the songwriting process to the recording method, Gallagher says the new disc represents a departure.

"This is the first time we've ever not played an album live in the studio together," Gallagher points out. "This is all virtually hung around a drum loop and a bass line, and then we just start and we build it from there. So we were trying to create it like you would create dance music; we weren't really set on the arrangements. We had the songs, the words and the melodies. The rest of it was all up for grabs."

Coupled with shifts in the band's personnel (Zak Starkey left the band and was replaced by former Robbie Williams drummer Chris Sharrock for the current tour), the new method has made for some uncertain moments in the band's live performances.

"Number one," he says, "we had to break in a new drummer, and number two, we had to play songs off a new album that we'd never played before. It had all been done on the computer. So for the first few weeks, it was a bit — I gotta say, it was a bit shit, it was a bit, fucking, 'Oh, my God, this isn't going to work.' But it clicked in the end."

The band's hard-won coherence has helped Gallagher rediscover the joys of touring that he first discovered doing roadie work as a teenager.

"I like being on the road, you know," Gallagher declares. "There's a lot of bullshit you put up with, just bullshit — but such is life, I guess. It doesn't take me long to get into the lifestyle of, you know, rock and roll and partying. That's what we live for, no?"

Tales From the Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for Oasisinet.com

There's a fog upon LA (the quiet one said that). I love the fog. We don't get it much in England anymore (not round my manor anyway).

I'm growing to like this town more and more. Is that wrong?

Went to a party the other night. Andy was dj'ing. Speed dj'ing, in fact. Like a crackhead. He must've set some record for the most amount of tunes played in the least amount of time.

Got 2 days off now. Not much fun without the sun though. There's always shopping, I suppose.

Seen the shittest busker of all time yesterday in Santa Monica, but I did purchase a lovely pair of brown cords.

That's pretty much it.

In a bit.

GD.

Oasis Could Record Solo Albums

Noel Gallagher tells Radio 1's Colin Murray that it was easier writing Dig Out Your Soul than 2005's Don't Believe The Truth, admits he can't remember the recording of second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? and says he'd like the four members of Oasis to record their own material.

Is Dig Out Your Soul better then Don't Believe The Truth?

Yeah, I think so. Don't Believe The Truth is a great collection of songs but it doesn't really hang together as an album. This is more like an album in the sense that Pink Floyd made albums. It probably won't have as many big singles on it as Don't Believe The Truth but that's not a bad thing.

Listen to Noel Gallagher talking to Colin Murray

Does it feel like a second album because Don't Believe The Truth was a bit of a rebirth critically?

It feels like a first one, because we're on our own record label now. Not that we ever got any interference from Sony but it's quite liberating to think, 'This is for us now'. We've fulfilled our commitment to them and we've left them to do their own thing and vice-versa.

I'm not saying you'd like to release a solo record, but have you got any tracks that you've recorded that you set aside or didn't get recorded?

I don't specifically put songs aside. There are songs that have just fallen by the wayside that are still great but have missed their moment. Like Stop The Clocks for instance. That needs to come out soon. At the end of this tour, I'd like everyone to do something separately. I think it would be interesting for our fans.

But I also think because we've ended up with this album at a place where we were working to for the last five years. It's kind of like, 'What do we do next?'. Liam's always the first person to start rushing things. I think if he wants to get back in the saddle that quick, he should do it for himself. He's got tonnes and tonnes of songs.

Is making records getting easier with age and perceived wisdom?

For a while. From Be Here Now to Don't Believe The Truth it was getting progressively more difficult. But this one was a bit of a breeze. We were working in London. We were going home every night. Our producer had this idea to make this kind of psychedelic, monotonous drone-rock album. We went along with it. It was just what we needed at our age, for somebody to say, 'Why don't you go away and wrote some songs like this'. We were like, 'OK'. Whereas usually we'd be flicking through CDs going, 'What about that one? We could do something with that one'. The previous one, Don't Believe The Truth, was a nightmare, an absolute nightmare.

Are you saying you needed somebody to say no?

No. It's nothing to do with that. I would assume control of most things. Halfway through Don't Believe The Truth I realised that I can only do one thing with Oasis, that's make it sound like it's sounded for 10 years. Once I finally got it in my head that I was going to let it go and let someone else do it, it was very liberating for me in a way.

The best Oasis songs have always been the ones that were quick to write. What were the 10 minute jobs on Dig Out Your Soul?

Shock Of The Lightening and Falling Down. We had a weekend off and my missus went up to Scotland with my little lad. I wrote the pair of them, one on a Saturday night and one on a Sunday night. The Importance Of Being Idle was pretty quick as well actually. Saying that though, I remember Rock 'n' Roll Star taking forever to write. Nine times out of 10 a quick song will be great and one that takes a week or two will be rubbish.

You said you were a fan who writes songs. Critics say you've plagiarised other people's music. As a songwriter is there a line you have to draw?

I'll lay it down on the line for you. What I actually do is I sit and listen to Beatles' records and I play along with them and then I gradually take the most obvious components of their songs, take them out and just put some of my own words in and hey presto, we've got a song. Of course not. I don't sit and listen, play along with them them and go, if I'm listening to This Guy's In Love With You by Burt Bacharach, call it The Sky's In Love With You. Who would know?

Have you started sleepwalking?

I woke up one morning on a different floor of my house than the one I went to bed in. I wasn't drunk and I hadn't been out the night before. I can't remember getting there. Sarah came down and she said, 'Maybe you've started sleepwalking'. I was like, 'If I started sleepwalking at 41, life just keeps getting better and better. This is incredible'. Where would you end up? You could end up anywhere. I haven't done it since though.

There was a great story when you signed to Creation that you told them you had 50 songs written but you only had six. Did you have all those songs?

When we signed at the Sony offices we were saying, 'We could complete this six-album deal in three weeks'. And they were going, 'How many songs have you got'. And we started writing down all these songs and it got to about 11 and we stopped and we just started making up stupid titles.

Are there a lot of things you can't remember?

'94 to '98. None of us have any recollection of recording Morning Glory. I don't remember any of it. When we were coming up here Don't Look Back In Anger was on the radio. It only took 12 days to record so they're basically a bunch of demos. There was a massive fight in the middle of that so we had to abandon the studio for a few days. None of us had any cameras, no-one had any mobile phones, it hasn't been documented and there are no different versions.

Duffy Covers Oasis At The Manchester Apollo

It has been a remarkable year for Aimee Ann Duffy

From nowhere to No 1, the Bangor-born soul singer has managed to win over the UK with her soulish sound, quirky looks and unique vocals.

The cheers when she took the stage were breathtaking, and though she dances with all the grace of a Thunderbirds puppet, Manchester was charmed.

Her mannered vibrato on the likes of Rockferry, Rain On Your Parade and the ubiquitous Mercy had the Mancs roaring, and there was even a cover of Oasis classic Wonderwall as an encore.

Duffy’s bantering with the crowd occasionally fell short.

But it’s clear the slightly kooky blonde in the little dress is enjoying the spotlight.

Whatever 2009 might bring, these moments will remain precious ones.
