Liam Gallagher's Most Inspired Moment

Liam Gallagher has said his most inspired moment was when he finished working on Oasis' I'm Outta Time.

The song was written by Liam and featured on the final Oasis album Dig Out Your Soul, and was also released as a single on 1 December 2008.

Speaking to Q the singer said "I suppose I'm Outta Time. When I finished that, I thought, "Yeah, man, there's something in this writing business. I should keep it up and not throw in the towel." I think that was the one. Cos a lot of my songs, verses repeat and shit like that. And I don't have the big anthem chords. But I pulled that one off. I'm proud of that".

Liam Gallagher On The Stone Roses

Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher has said that the first album he bought was The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses.

The Stone Roses is the debut album by The Stone Roses, and was released on Silvertone Records in 1989. It cemented the band's reputation among critics, and is still rated by some as one of the most important albums ever. In 2004 an Observer Music Monthly poll consisting of musicians and critics voted the album the greatest of all time, as did the writers of NME in 2006, declaring it to be the greatest British album of all time.

Speaking to Q in a recent interview the singer said "That's the first one I'm going on record saying, I got into music late. Music I thought was for fucking weirdos, I probably got to know about the Roses through Noel or Paul. They always had records, but the Roses was the first one that really I thought was great. The Smiths to me was more studenty. You'd see people round town and it was all quiffs and people riding studenty bikes. That wasn't for me".

Liam was also asked what was the first concert he went to? and replied The Stone Roses at The International 2 in his native Manchester.

"I remember borrowing some money off me mam and buying a ticket off a tout outside. I was on me jacks. All of my mates round that time were into dance music. I remember having two joints rolled and I think I had enough for two beers. Went in there, stood at the back. Thought, "Fucking hell!" Moved down to the front, got in the middle of it a little bit, checked it out and thought, "Right, that's what I wanna do." Ian Brown come on with this mayor bell, I Wanna Be Adored and that, and I thought, I'm having a bit of that. You don't have to wear leather trousers and fucking gel your hair back to be a rock star - The Cure and shit like that. He just looks like he's been fucking snogging a balloon [laughs]. Y'know, lipstick everywhere".

Liam Gallagher Says Radiohead Doesn't Make Sense To Him

Liam Gallagher has said in a recent interview with Q that anything by Radiohead doesn't make much sense to him.

When asked what's the one acknowledged classic record that does nothing for you the singer replied.

"I've never even heard OK Computer, but anything by Radiohead doesn't make much sense to me. Everyone's going on about Radiohead pushing things forward, but the only thing they're famous for really is songs like Creep, innit? Then they go off-roading for the rest of their career. I just don't get it. I mean, we've all written songs like Creep, y'know, them classic songs. So that's what makes them what they are. All the rest of it, don't get it. Karma Police is alright, but it's The Beatles, innit?"

Earlier this year Liam berated the Oxford five-piece when asked about his musical influences in an interview with Thequietus.com.

Noel Gallagher Says The Phone-Hacking Scandal Pissed Him Off

Noel Gallagher has said that the phone hacking scandal that ignited earlier this summer pissed him off as he must have more interesting phone messages then former footballer and TV pundit Andy Gray.

Speaking to the current issue of Q (on sale now) the former Oasis man said "The phone-hacking scandal pissed me off actually. There was a part of me thinking, "Andy fucking Gray having his phone hacked and not me?" That's the final insult. I must have infinitely more interesting phone messages than Andy Gray".

He admitted that these days his voicemail is not front page material. "my voicemail is pretty tame me in Waitrose ringing the missus saying, "They're out of blueberries again." It's not front-page stuff, is it?

'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', is released on October 17th on Sour Mash Records.

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".

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."

In the same interview, the Beady Eye frontman said that U2's frontman Bono had given him the worst piece of career advice.

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

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

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"

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."
