Noel Gallagher Compares Oasis’ Early American Audiences to Unimpressed Sheep
If you saw Oasis perform in the U.S. during their ’90s prime, Noel Gallagher could’ve used some more enthusiasm. The musician, who recently caught up with The Times about recording the band’s 1995 album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory at Rockfield Studios in Wales, compared the sheep in Wales to some less-than-impressed crowds the Gallagher brothers played in front of the U.S. “I remember looking out at this row of sheep,” Gallagher said. “And they were staring blankly at me while I was singing, and they didn’t look very impressed. It certainly prepared me for audiences in America.” The High Flying Birds frontman later said Liam interfered with the album’s creative process while at Rockfield. “Drinking can wait. You’re trying to follow up ‘Definitely Maybe’, you’v...
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. B...
Liam Gallagher Recalls Nearly Burning Down Noel’s House in Ibiza
Liam Gallagher once almost set his brother Noel’s house on fire — and that was before Oasis’ dramatic split. The singer recalled the incident during a visit to Peter Crouch’s show, Save Our Summer (via NME). “Our kid had a house [in Ibiza] once, years ago, which I nearly set fire to cause they lent it [to] me,” Liam explained. “So I get there, I’m getting a bit giddy and I’ve gone, ‘this is nuts innit’, got the drinks out, got a cig out, and it was like right on the sea, and I lit up and then I flicked it, it’s gone down the cliff… and the next minute there’s loads of fire.” “We’ve not even unpacked our bags so I’m there running out with loads of pots and pans just launching at it because you couldn’t go down to it,” he continued. “I’d only been there about 10 minu...
Noel Gallagher Says Daily Cocaine Use in ’90s Gave Him ‘Brutal Panic Attacks’
Noel Gallagher recently opened up about his experiences with cocaine in the 90s and how doing the drug landed him in the hospital. “I did have to check into hospital once,” the Oasis songwriter/guitarist said on Matt Morgan’s Funny How? podcast. “Imagine having the psychosis and having to have to go to hospital [sic]. They don’t understand a word you’re saying because of your accent and you’re like ‘I think I am on my way out’.” He also added that a few “panic attacks also pushed him to stop using. Gallagher talked about getting clean in 1998 following taking a break for a month in Thailand with his then-wife Meg Matthews. And nowadays, Gallagher thinks people who do cocaine are “boring.” “You just know that when the coke comes out the night is going to take a shit turn” he told the Irish ...
