The Interior Life of Noel Gallagher: A Speculative History

Then later on...

Q: What do you think about Lady Gaga?
...She's another one. In fact, she's probably doing a shit on top of a boiled egg right now. And somebody will fucking freeze it and call it art.

hi OutdoorFish! thanks for defending standards!

when he goes home he sheds a silent tear because shitting on top of a boiled egg is the only idea he's had all year.

His interviews are awful, he's like some tedious blowhard below the line commentator on a guardian article only he's being interviewed by Rolling Stone and GQ.

the only standards on here are double standards

thank you, i thought i was going insane here

Lady Gaga- she's another one. In fact, she's probably doing a shit on top of a boiled egg right now. And somebody will fucking freeze it and call it art.

IT WAS STARING US IN THE FACE ALL THIS TIME

that were a good post, that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9alHSFI1tuo

oh good, 83 minutes and 11 seconds of the worst fucking music ever made

ah, we are in agreement, you have proved me wrong!

Gah, posted this in the Guradian thread by accident.

http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2014/jan/22/noel-gallager-hates-oasis-videos

eheh. I had never seen most of these videos but they are truly awful... and they do walk in slow motion a lot !

this is hugely entertaining. thanks!

"can we do that bit again but can you do it with a bit more energy in your eyes?"

The DVD that comes with the "Time Flies" has a Noel commentary as an extra.

Basically, he likes the "Importance of being idle" video, and that's it.

more than i like

"Is that Phil Mitchell?"
"No it's not"
Love this whole thing

yeah this almost retrospectively justifies Oasis

I like his reactions to the Standing on the Shoulder of Giants videos/songs. especially by the time he gets to Sunday Morning "that's exactly how I feel mate"

So yeah pretty much the most entertaining thing Noel's been involved with since Some Might Say.

That was so great.. When he realizes what song is coming up next and just starts freaking out, oh man

ha yeah, "what's the next one off this... oh fucking hell, oh fucking hell."

'that wasn't an actual record playing, by the way, and he's not a real clown'

just came here to see if this had been posted. amazing.

fukkin brill

Oh, I see now the article is about that very DVD.

Yeah, I was I'll off work and sat through the whole DVD with the commentary on, which made it worth doing... They are very 'fit for function' for the overwhelming majority as in 'perform/promote song., that's it' so it's really the only good thing about it as a whole.

Oh, Liam does his one single too.

He sounds incredibly Karl Pilkington in some of these bits!
My favorite one is when he sounds like he's never seen the video before, with the motorcycle driver crashing through the window and going to the hospital. Killing me.

"Look at the size of Bonehead's shirt. That's fuckin' insane."

"Yeah, I'm not having any of this."

This is highly entertaining. Good to see Noel speaking for all of us.

this^^^^^

this is hilarious. "The video is backwards" "Oh yeah? Pity the song isnt. It would have sounded a lot more interesting."

"Is that a man with legs made of sausages?! That’s not real."

instead of making music he should host a radio or tv show or something.
maybe have a live show online that he would do at home, while doing other things (or nothing), with a headset.

i think he guests quite often with russell brand on something or other.

He should regularly review music videos.

the fact that he does his aggressive philistine churl shtick even on his own back catalogue isn't a plus point imo

otm

Which obscure member of a Britpop band are you?

I got Jake from MLS
fair enough

My favorite Gallagher insult is when he described Jack White as looking like "Zorro on donuts."

Jesus - I don't like a fat joke, but something in the simplicity of that phrasing just slaughters me

the fact that he does his aggressive philistine churl shtick even on his own back catalogue isn't a plus point imo

Yeah, I hate that side of him. He's clearly intelligent; he's a major Smiths fan, for God's sake, which is completely at odds with the yobbo lager lout persona he chooses to project. I believe that Liam actually is that sort of dimwit, but Noel isn't, which makes it frustrating when he plays dumb. I guess that persona served its purpose in the 90s in making them popular in the UK, but I suspect that Noel has a lot more in common with an egghead like his "enemy" Damon Albarn than he chooses to reveal in public.

He's clearly intelligent; he's a major Smiths fan

Plenty of Smiths fans are idiots!

Noel obviously has a kind of intelligence, but he's so depressingly self-limiting. Everyone knows people like him: middle-aged men who enjoy their own vituperative impotence to the extent that they're happy for it to define them. Everyone laughed at Win Butler's recent "I'm a fucking rock star!" comment though it was obvious that he was being knowingly reductive. Noel means it when he says things like that, which must make it easier to live with his limitations. I bet he rarely meets anyone who doesn't find him straightforwardly amusing. That's a nice life, in a way.

I've always found him hilarious, but again it's probably easier to do so without a lot of baggage in the US where Oasis is regarded on the same level as like Soul Asylum.

Noel means it when he says things like that

I think he means some of what he says, but not all of it. If you watch him on chat shows or in other conversation, he's clearly sharp, witty, and intelligent. And ballads such as "Wonderwall," "Sunday Morning Call," "Just Getting Older," or "Don't Go Away" (with its key line, I think, "damn my education / I can't find the words to say") reveal a sensitive side of him that is completely at odds with his dimwit lager lout persona. I'll repeat that I believe he adopted that persona to be popular, much as many rappers feel like they have to play up how street or hard or tough they are: Noel's whole "I'm just working class lad from Manchester" persona is simply a northern UK variation on that kind of pose. It has served him well, and it's pretty fucking funny when he's on a roll, but I really don't think that that's all there is to the guy.

Oh the smiths

Wd imagine ng is at least as intelligent as yr avg ilmer, at least as focused on image projection, clearly in a different way tho tbf.

His mums from charlestown theres a lot of mid-mayo in him imo.

no joke
