Contact Music reports that in a new interview with the Daily Star, Noel recounted that “We were getting pissed and fighting and then me going: ‘Fuck it, I’m going home, fuck off!’ With the benefit of time, I don’t know whether it would have been better to stay and do the gig which would have been like a monumental, mad fucking Oasis gig because the fight would have carried on to the stage, maybe not th...
Noel Gallagher Gives Brother Liam Rare Compliment, Calls ‘Songbird’ a ‘Perfect’ Track
The Gallaghers are not siblings who say kind words about each other (in fact, their public musings are quite the opposite); however, in a recent interview Noel Gallagher gave his brother Liam a rare, and substantial, compliment. While speaking on Matt Morgan’s podcast, Noel praised “Songbird” — a track penned by Liam for Oasis’ 2002 album Heathen Chemistry — calling it “perfect.” Yes, you read correctly. “I thought ‘Songbird’ by Liam was great,” Noel told Morgan (via Radio X). “We did a demo of it and it was more like ‘Love Me Do’ by The Beatles. It’s got a mouth organ on it and it sounds like The Beatles. Then we took all the instruments off it and it became this acoustic thing that I think is perfect.” But the compliments only go so far with the Gallaghers, and N...

Paul Weller ‘Never’ Advised Noel Gallagher to Go Solo
While Oasis split in the late 2000s was a while ago, Paul Weller wanted to clear the air and claim his innocence. Liam Gallagher accused Weller in 2018 of having secret meetings with his brother Noel, which supposedly led to Oasis’ eventual breakup. “Listen – to put the record straight, I would never, ever give Noel Gallagher advice,” Weller told NME in a recent interview. He also added, “What do you say to somebody who’s just sold 50 million fucking records? ‘Oh, I know what you should do…’ So that’s not true.” Despite Liam’s previous comments, Waller said he’s more focused on other things. “I’ve got better things to think about,” he said. “I love both of them, anyway… I think they’re both brilliant characters.” Drama aside, Weller dropped “Earth Beat” in March and “Village” last month.
