The Interior Life of Noel Gallagher: A Speculative History

Honestly, it's as if Noel's trying to prove this thread wrong or something.

http://www.holymoly.com/music/news/noel-gallagher-announces-release-his-debut-solo-album57904

Noel's debut album as a solo artist was recorded in London and completed in Los Angeles during 2010 and the first half of 2011. It was co-produced by Noel and David Sardy, with whom Noel has worked Previously. It features ten brand new tracks. Guests on the album include Crouch End Festival Chorus and The Wired Strings.

A second album, a companion to the above but as yet untitled, was recorded in the UK this year and is now complete. This album is the result of Noel's continued collaboration with the Amorphous Androgynous, and will be released in 2012. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will tour this autumn, subsequent to the release of their eponymous album.

"There isn't a guitar solo on it till the 6th track. It's not fucking guitar hero.

"Some of it's vaudeville, some if it's space jazz, some of it's kraut rock. And that's just the first track."

Derek Smalls to thread.

sounds like nobhead music to me

What would you be doing now if you weren't talking to us?

"If I get a day off I'd just be mooching about the house. I don't like to do a great deal. Smoke some cigarettes, strum the guitar."

"Pick the kids up from school."

"Who cares what's number one anymore? Just be thankful we lived in the '90s."

This is very funny and could potentially be a great book.

w/ plenty of accompanying photos of Noel appearing annoyed and/or mildly bemused.

find a photo of anything but tbph

cartoons/art

Can't wait for partner site paulscholesweb.com:

We literally bumped into that top Scientologist Katie Holmes on the way into the studio. We came out of the lift and BANG, there she was.

Now at this point my mate, and friend of the stars, Scully was doing a bit of filming for my website and managed to capture the moment. She did look a bit miffed at the various North-West accents and some vigorous handshaking, but there was no need to send one of her people over to demand the video be deleted!!!! Un-fuckin'-believable.

We didn't let it spoil the day though. And what a day. Loved it.

'We were brought up under Thatcher,’ Noel Gallagher is saying.

'There was a work ethic – if you were unemployed, the obsession was to find work.

'Now, these kids brought up under the Labour Party and whatever this Coalition thing is, it’s like, “Forget that, I’m not interested. I wanna be on TV.” It was a different mindset back then.’

‘Under Thatcher, who ruled us with an iron rod,’ he says, ‘great art was made. Amazing designers and musicians. Acid house was born. Very colourful and progressive.

He never would have visited Number 10 if John Major had invited him, he says. But, it turns out, he will be sending his sons to private school.

‘I don’t want them coming home speaking like Ali G,’ he explains. ‘Anyone in my position, you owe it to your children to send them to a school where they don’t have to walk through a metal detector in the morning.

'There were riot police outside our local school the other morning. Turns out there’d been a stabbing. Rival gangs. We shouldn’t need riot police at schools. This is Maida Vale. This isn’t Handsworth or Tottenham, do you know what I mean? I don’t want my kids going to a school like that. I’d rather they were at a school with Russian oligarchs’ children.’

Up until the last election, I voted Labour all my life,’ he says. ‘But I’ve lost all faith in the Labour Party. After the expenses scandal and what happened with the banks – that “There’s no money left” note and all that – I just look at them and think the Labour Party should really be ashamed of themselves for the way they let the country down. I voted for a pirate at the last election.’

he's a cunt. he's always been a cunt. he will always be a cunt. cunts will always love and defend him. cunts.

also he's thick as bigshit, and about two inches tall. i saw him last year standing outside waitrose in marylebone high street, nervously waiting for his chauffeur with his shit-brown rolls royce. he looked like a puny thunderbirds villain with his strings cut.

Turns out there’d been a stabbing. Rival gangs. We shouldn’t need riot police at schools.

hmmmn fair enough rite?

This is Maida Vale. This isn’t Handsworth or Tottenham, do you know what I mean?

oh rite just /those/ schools with those.....different ppl

'Now, these kids brought up under the Labour Party and whatever this Coalition thing is, it’s like, “Forget that, I’m not interested. I wanna be on TV.” It was a different mindset back then.’

I feel like someone should play Mr Gallagher the lyrics to his own song "Rock N Roll Star" from his very first album? How quickly people forget.

but he worked so hard under Thatcher to get there, robbing houses iirc

can't believe our most forward-thinking and exploratory musician is a social reactionary on the quiet

When you say "quiet" ...

'There was a work ethic – if you were unemployed, the obsession was to find work.

'Now, these kids brought up under the Labour Party and whatever this Coalition thing is, it’s like, “Forget that, I’m not interested. I wanna be on TV.” It was a different mindset back then.’

... we were absolutely determined to roadie for the Inspiral Carpets, no matter what barriers society put in front of us

But, joking aside, he was lucky enough to grow up in an era when you could bumble about on the dole for years getting a band together or whatever else that twat was doing at the time

We were all of us in the gutter, some of us were looking up at the La's...

the thatcher quote was by no means the most egregious quote in the interview

While short of his younger brother’s stage presence, he’s not short of charm – bantering with the front row about Man City’s Mario Balotelli and Liverpool squeaking through against Cardiff on penalties just hours earlier in the Carling Cup Final.

i've read this whole thread thinking it was about liam

It suits Liam more than Noel imo

r0nan endlessly otm <3

<3 this thread so so much

"I haven't seen him," Liam said. "It's very hush-hush round his camp." While he still has lots to say about football, Noel has scarcely commented on music over the past year. He is a busy father, "doing nappies and all that malarkey".

malarkey

his spot on alan carr last night p much confirmed this thread

It were good, it.

what are you going to do no that you're taing a year off?

I can make a tesco shop last all day, me. Just spend all day, shopping.

Still nowhere near on-point if it was Liam

Noel Gallagher criticises Muse drummer for smoking an electronic cigarette

"There are no characters left in the music business. When we first started going there was a healthy percentage of people, and we were all dirt-kickers from council estates, and we all couldn’t believe our luck that we were at the Brits. You go in now and everybody is a careerist. It’s very corporate, and you know what I’ve actually seen people doing at the Brits? Eating. I saw the drummer from Muse smoking an electronic cigarette. A cigarette with a battery in. I had to say to him: ‘Really? Really? Is that where you are at? Do me a favour mate, either have a proper one outside, or don’t have one.’ It lit up green when he had a drag of it. Nonsense. He said that immortal line – ‘Oh you know how it is mate’. And I said ‘I’m sorry mate, I actually don’t.’

Gallagher continued his outspoken views on the ceremony, calling the night "instantly forgettable" and rallying against young people who wear hats.

rallying against young people who wear hats.

"Is it rock ‘n’ roll to be two hours late? It depends on what he was doing in those two hours. Was he snorting coke off prostitutes? Or was he playing bridge? That’s not very rock'n'roll, is it? My cat sounds more rock ’n’ roll that that"

he made something up and then immediately went on as if it were a fact, that's our noel.

Every time I read a quote from this guy, I instantly want to go and listen to his music, because some part of me goes, "He's a fucking maniac genius! Now I must dive neck-deep into his catalog!" Fortunately, it wears off before I actually fire up Spotify.

Same thing happens when I read a quote from Mark E. Smith. Except in the case of Smith, it led to an actual CD purchase once.

Well, that's the lay of the land..

i know this is liam, but god... just look at him.

Gallagher continued his outspoken views on the ceremony, calling the night "instantly forgettable" while still somehow managing to recite a list of perceived offences against rock'n'roll he committed to memory at the event.
