Liam Gallagher Says His Kids Are The Future Of Music

1 comment


Liam Gallagher has said that he would feel happy leaving the future of music in his children's Gene and Lennon's hands.

Speaking to Q in a recent interview, when asked which acts' hands do you feel happy leaving the future of music in?

The former Oasis man said "My kids', mate. They're gonna have it. My little boy Gene, who's nine, is a drummer. He did his first gig the other day at school. He got up in front of 200 people at the school, first gig ever, and he was drumming as well as all the 14, 15-year olds. But whereas they were all fu*king shitting it, he was like that [juts chin, puffs chest]. He got off and he went, "Yeeessss, man." Big round of applause. And me other kid's having a crack at the guitar. But I let them get on with it. The teachers are always going, "Oh, you should make 'em practice more." But as far as I'm concerned, when they get home from school, the do what they want. There's time for all that really getting their heads down when they're older".

Liam Gallagher has said in an interview that The Who frontman Roger Daltery gave him the best career advice.

In an interview for the new edition of Q, he explained: “I remember having a chat with Roger Daltery. He was going, "Oh you should warm up (your voice)." And I'm like "f*ck that!" I was young and I was like. "I'm not doing any of that nonsense" But you know as the years go by. I've had to bite my tongue a bit and go, "Yeah you've got to warm up." But I don't do any of that la-la-la nonsense. I just sit with a guitar half a hour before you go on. It's just like getting your dick cut off when you've got a fu*king cancel a gig cause your voice goes. It's like the heaviest thing in the world. But warm up man. That's the best bit of advice I've ever had."

He said "Warm up (laughs) Bono might have tried to give me advice, but I was probably not listening. I do my own thing man!"

Noel Gallagher Has Never Done Karaoke In His Life Unless You Include Oasis At Wembley Stadium

No comments

Noel Gallagher has admitted to never doing karaoke in his life unless you include Oasis at Wembley Stadium.

Speaking to Q magazine, he recalled: "I've never done Karaoke in my life unless you count Oasis at Wembley Stadium, playing the first two notes of Don't Look Back In Anger and then letting the crowd sing it on a Saturday night in the rain. Let's face it, I'd be sh*t at it. Besides karaoke leads to the X-Factor and people like Michelle McManus and Rik Waller. It's A gateway to hell is karaoke".

Noel Gallgher Says It's A Shame We Won't Hear Timeless Oasis Anthems Live Again

No comments

Noel Gallagher has said it's a shame that we won't hear timeless Oasis anthems live again.

Noel was asked by Q Magazine if he was proud of what his former band Oasis achieved he said "There are some timeless anthems, Morning Glory, Rock 'N' Roll Star, The Shock Of The Lightning. It's a real shame we won't hear them live again. Those songs deserve to be heard in a stadium".

Noel Gallagher "Oasis Were The Last Great, Traditional Rock'n'Roll Band"

No comments


Noel Gallagher is in the dressing room at Knebworth House in Hertfordshire, England. It's August 11, 1996, and he and his band Oasis have just played the second of two 125,000-capacity concerts — events that would prove to be the high-water mark for British rock music in both the 1990s and subsequent decade. Like everyone else present, he's wondering what on earth he can do to top this when he's approached by an executive from his then record label, Sony Music.

"I distinctly remember somebody sidling up to me," he recalls, "saying, 'It's time for the solo record now.'"

Fast forward to 2011 and Gallagher is finally taking that unnamed executive's counsel on board as he prepares to release his first solo album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, in October. Given that, in the intervening 15 years, Oasis repeatedly tried and failed to live up to their staggering artistic and commercial achievements of the mid-90s, does he ever wish he'd listened to that advice and made a solo record earlier in his career?

"Well," he reflects, sipping cappuccino in the Mirror Bar of London's Landmark Hotel, "I always said I wouldn't do it if the band was together."

That Noel Gallagher is here today, with not just one, but two solo albums in the bag, is testament to the fact that the band is now anything but together. Oasis' split was as messy as anything in their volatile 18-year career, the band finally imploding during a furious row between Gallagher and his younger frontman brother, Liam, backstage at France's Rock en Seine festival in August 2009. The precise reason for the split varies according to which brother you listen to (Noel's version of events even prompted legal action from the younger Gallagher) but both seem to agree on one thing: that, despite their lengthy previous track record of fights and reconciliations, this time the split is permanent.

"Liam's already said that the thought of getting back together makes him want to vomit," says Gallagher, tersely. "And I've got nothing to add to that."

If Noel is grateful to his little brother for one thing, however, it's surely that he rushed out his own post-Oasis project, the retro rock'n'roll of Beady Eye, while Gallagher Senior was still holed up in the studio. While Noel defends the commercial (under) achievement of Beady Eye's Different Gear, Still Speeding album ("They've sold 10,000 less than the Arctic Monkeys — that's only one hit single"), it surely takes the pressure off when it comes to his own solo debut.

"I can't decide how many it sells," he shrugs. "If you like what I do, there's lots on there for you to like, but also some stuff that you wouldn't expect. And if you don't like what I do, believe you me there's enough on there for you to hate."

In fact, High Flying Birds is good enough to even turn the head of Oasis' many detractors. The accusation that Gallagher was stockpiling his best songs for a solo project seems now to carry some weight, at least in the sense that Everybody's On The Run, If I Had A Gun, AKA...What A Life! and (Stranded On) The Wrong Beach are streets ahead of anything on the last Oasis album, 2008's Dig Out Your Soul.

Crucially, casting off the yoke of Oasis' stadium rock also means he's free to try his hand at everything from subtle dance grooves to gravelly blues stomps alongside the expected singer-songwriter guitar anthems, making for his most satisfying set of songs since 1995's all-conquering (What's The Story) Morning Glory?

There's more to come, with Gallagher about to sign off on a musically ambitious project with electronic producers Amorphous Androgynous, aka Future Sound Of London. Indeed, that album was supposed to come first, until Gallagher decided it "would f — k people's heads up too much." Four of the songs on High Flying Birds were originally intended for the Amorphous Androgynous collaboration, but after hearing how the electronic duo treated If I Had A Gun — "not destroyed it, but demolished it and put it back together again" — Gallagher decided to score them in a more conventional fashion. The four songs now appear on both albums, but on the Amorphous Androgynous venture they are supplemented by 10 fresh ones better suited for the experimental project.

Such prolific output paints a picture of a man going through a creative purple patch after years of artistic stagnation. But there's no chance of measuring up commercially against his former band — the group that defined the Britpop era. After all, Oasis shifted a staggering 663,000 UK copies of 1997's Be Here Now in just three days — a record that, thanks to shrinking album sales, will almost certainly never be broken. Neither is a British rock band likely to be so culturally influential as to be invited for drinks at 10 Downing Street (as Gallagher was by Tony Blair in 1997) any time soon. It leaves him as the rock equivalent of the last man on the moon; a rare human being who has scaled heights that few had experienced before, and none have since.

(See pictures of Britain's Royal stamps featuring classic English rock albums.)
"We don't live in an era where indie rock bands sell 60 million albums," he concurs. "Oasis were the last great, traditional rock'n'roll band. We came along before the Internet so, if you wanted to see us, you had to be there. It makes me feel like a righteous old man."

But then, it's not just Oasis that never matched their own early achievements — nobody else has either, from Radiohead to the Arctic Monkeys. So, with people still desperate for the next big guitar crossover record, could Gallagher's own solo album actually be what everyone's been waiting for?

"I have to say I'd be absolutely f — king disgusted if a 45-year-old father of three came along to save British guitar music," he laughs, as he finishes his coffee. "I'd have to go on the news and tell the kids that they'd failed."

Noel Gallagher: Lady Gaga Hasn't Given Weirdos Any Decent Music

1 comment

The former Oasis guitarist and songwriter is famed for his rants about other acts, with Blur, Robbie Williams, Scissor Sisters, Keane and Jack White among those on the receiving end of his volleys of disdain.

His latest target is Lady Gaga, despite his 11-year-old daughter being a big fan of the Bad Romance singer.

Noel told Q magazine: 'It's all about the meat suit and the controversy. Is it about the music? Really? She's got the publicity side sorted out, but where's the f****** music?

'Paparazzi? It's Madonna lite. Madonna was hardcore. She took it to the edge musically as well as everything else.

'Twenty years from now, will we listen to Lady Gaga? No. She might think she is making a stand for the freaks and the weirdos but they're not going to have any decent f****** music to play are they?'

Q Magazine's 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' Album Review

3 comments

Noel Gallagher High Flying Birds has been given four stars out of five in the new issue of the magazine, a scan of the review can be found here.

There are 25 different covers of the new issue of Q one is Liam, one Kasabian, one Paul Weller. Noel vs. Liam is No.1 in the "top scraps" feature.

- The 'download' section has Everybody's On The Run, If I Had A Gun (part of the best 50 tracks of the month) and Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks.

- Dream On has a fist-in-the-air chant of "shout it out for me"

- Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks is wistful and strident. Anti-war and anti-religion - soliders "go to heaven on their holidays" and preachers "twist the words of way back when".

- Everybody's On the Run is full of drama and emotion, but not better than If I Had A Gun.

- Record Machine and Stop The Clocks are great, but not much different than the demos and sound the most Oasis-like songs.

Liam Gallagher On Oasis, Football And More

2 comments

Interview excerpts from 11freunde.de

Liam Gallagher on ....

… the Oasis split and parallels between football and music

The band or the team is the most important thing. Don’t care about the managers and other things, people come and go, but what stays is the team and the crowd. It’s like the Oasis split up. Noel’s gone but it’s the same with a football player. If you fucking wanna move on, then move on. But we go on as a team. No one is ever bigger than the club or the band.

… his brother Noel

He was just a defender. I’m on the wing, coming in. A bit like Arjen Robben. I get the ball and fucking run. Not even kicking it, I’m running with the ball into the net.
… the English national team

I am not that patriotic. If they won the World Cup, that would be great. But that's not what's going to happen. It is not going with that Italian guy. He should go. We need someone who speaks English. It is an English team and we need someone who is going to the line and shout: “You fucking cunt, what are you doing there?” Harry Redknapp would be the man, he’d be mega, he’d be proper.

… City and the money

I don’t care if people in fucking Düsseldorf or Frankfurt don’t like City right now. It doesn’t interest me one bit – you need money to buy good players. If you have no money, the players won’t come to City. Even if the Premier League has been ruined by money, fucking get over it. That’s the way it is.
The Arabs came and gave us some money. They are not in debt. I have never met an Arab who is in debt, have you?

… the FA Cup last season
It was the greatest moment for me as a City supporter – without a doubt. It was the first time we won anything. Mega. What I really enjoyed, was beating United in the semi-final. Both of my balls were buzzing. In the end we were the last ones out – we tried to leave but everything was locked.
… the Poznan dance

It’s great. I do it everywhere. In the morning when I get up and when I am having a shower, then I do the Poznan dance. Last time we played in Belfast and the crowd was doing the Poznan – brilliant.
… Balotelli

He has attitude. Right now footballers are just a bit too professional. They are all like Coldplay. You need exciting players, the ones who are a bit bonkers. Balotelli is crazy, but he is young. I think, when the penny drops, he will be a mega-player.

… Footballers in general

In England the players normally listen to Rap. To be quite honest, footballers are not cool, they are idiots or the majority of them are. 90 percent of the footballers are absolute fucking cocks. They listen to fucking Black Eyed Peas. And the clothes they wear – ridiculous.

Noel Gallagher Says Celebrities Have Wrecked Twitter

No comments

The 'AKA… What A Life!' singer isn't a fan of the micro-blogging site personally but he thought the concept was a good idea until he saw so many famous faces take to it and "bastardise" it for their own gain.

In a web interview with Yahoo!, he said: "I'm not a tweeter … Stuff like, 'Oh I'm going for a shower,' great. 'I slept in again, bugger.' Life's too short for that kind of thing but I think those things like Facebook and twitter and stuff were started with the best of intentions to connect ordinary people around the world, like daughters travelling in Europe can tweet their mums. But as with everything celebrities get involved and bastardise it, trying to sell you their s**t. There's too much of that. Anything that's of any use famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap. I'm like sitting here and thinking I hate twitter and I don't know why."

The former Oasis guitarist also believes the internet has destroyed the "magic and mystery" of musicians.

Noel – who admits he only got his first computer "at Christmas" – thinks it was better when fans knew less about their idols because it made their new albums more exciting.

The rock star – who is releasing his record 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' on October 17 - said: "I don't think people need to know what colour socks I'm wearing today, I don't think people need to know what shower gel I'm using. There's too much information in the world and there's no magic or mystery anymore. That's why I didn't announce I was in the studio making this album until 18 months down the line. Because it would be like, 'Yeah man I'm in the studio and today I recorded a song in my socks! And it was great man and it might turn out to be a disco song.' What's the point?' I was obsessed with the Smiths and there was none of that going on. You just waited and wondered what they were up to and then the album would come out in four weeks and it was like, 'Wow!' "
