Ask Noel Gallagher How The Material For His Amazing New Album Worked council skies Looking back at the gigs so far on the US tour with Garbage, you’ll get an answer that only he would dare to answer: “Terrible,” he says, blaming audiences who haven’t yet absorbed the album. (like all his posts) – Oasis work, credited to Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds). “We’re going to start with five new things, so why shouldn’t we all have bought that fucking album? So they’ll stand there with their mouths open and think, ‘What the hell is this?’ We should advise you to visit your preferred streaming service. “
Here’s Gallagher’s interview for the new episode of . rolling stone music now begins, he maintains the same level of candor and cheerfulness throughout. Some highlights follow.

He wants his fans to accept that he is no longer a child.
“I think Oasis fans want me to rewrite it.” maybe Forever, but that doesn’t mean you’re developing yourself as an artist,” he says. “I wish I could have one of my kids rewrite that album and make it just as great, just as important, just as relevant. Thank you, it only happened once… I’m 56, right? I can’t keep doing that!”
He says his brother Liam Gallagher has insisted he wants to reinvent Oasis but isn’t honest and hasn’t made the decision he’s been encouraged to make recently.
“I have now accepted that this situation will never go away,” says Noel. “I said if Liam really wants to do it, he should call me, but he hasn’t called me yet, so I don’t think he wants that either. I know he doesn’t want to, but he likes to paint this picture, this bastard sitting by the door with his suitcase, you know, like the little cat in the movie fucking ShrekLook, this fucking little Spanish cat with big teary eyes. ‘I [gonna] Do it now for your fans. I love you’. It’s like, well then call me. And he hasn’t called me. And until he does, nothing will get done. “
He says the new song “Easy Now” is one of the most Oasis-like songs he’s written since the band broke up..
“It’s the only song I’ve put up with because it’s so good,” he said, explaining that he usually avoids songs that remind him of his old band. “All the rest of the songs are things I’ve been avoiding, but as soon as you get into the chorus you’re like, ‘No, there’s no point in me doing that,’ and a lot of people leave. It’s like a fucking oasis.’ When I got to the chorus while writing this song, I thought, oh, actually, this is a pretty good song.”
Gallagher is fiercely, perhaps unreasonably, opposed to co-writing.
“I never liked the Beach Boys,” he says. “I was watching a documentary once and I was like, ‘Wait a minute. Who the hell is Van Dyke Parks? Oh, is he a lyricist? What is that? Brian Wilson. didn’t even write the lyrics?What the hell?Why is he revered as a great songwriter?And I’m sorry Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran and everyone else. Hiring an outsider makes them a solo artist, how can he be a solo artist when there is someone else? [co-]am i writing a song for you ’ But how is that different from collaborating with a bandmate?
That being said, he has co-written three songs with The Black Keys for his upcoming album.
“We wrote three songs in a week in a studio in London,” he says. “And I have to say, they’re really great.”
He joked that his recent breakup with Taylor Swift was due to a verbal war with Matty Healy in 1975.
“Taylor obviously said, ‘Hey, just stay out of Gallagher’s business or we’re going to fuck you,'” he says. ‘And he couldn’t help it. and I don’t have it.” So sorry Matty, I have to go now. ”
He wrote enough music for two more albums during the pandemic.
“There’s also an acoustic album, very stripped down, which I recently started recording,” he says. “And then there’s the guitar-heavy Stadium his rock album.”
