Noel Gallagher Reacts to Brother Liam’s Negative Tweet During Interview w/ 98.9 KPNW's Marco Collins

my name is Marco and we are backstage at the White River Amphitheater with Noel Gallagher hello there how are you I'm good how are you I'm good I'm good good it's been a while since I've seen you Yeah well yeah I mean you can catch me on YouTube anytime you want or you know television I'm on TV all the time I've seen you there um man I well first of all let me congratulate you on the new record today is the release date of the record phenomenal record when I got the first single I was like wow he has sort of stepped in a different direction well pretty boy yeah well that's a bit of an anomaly on the record there's not really anything that sounds like it think of a number maybe but um yeah I mean the reason that is that it's just such a great song it doesn't like I say it's a bit of an anomaly on the record but um that is a bit of a departure for me yeah but I think I think fans should be that surprised by that kind of thing now you know after my last record on EPs and all that [ __ ] I do tend to you know jump between musical star yeah yeah I like it keeps me interested in my own thing anyway the when I heard it I was like wow it reminds me a little bit of the Cure which I know you got a lot when that came out initially right yeah I was with Robert last night as a matter of fact yeah yeah were you at the show I was yeah yeah yeah uh and uh yeah last night was the first time I'd actually fully sat down on the chat with him and I don't I don't really know him you know what I mean and uh yeah he's the he's a very funny man I don't know what a lot of people know though but he's a very very funny guy and uh turns out his mom is from Manchester and she's a Manchester City supporter or I'm not sure whether she's still with us but uh yeah which was a revelation and uh yeah they were great last night the Cure but yeah that track when it started it was um as it was progressing through the you know through the various stages it was like hang on a minute started off sounding a bit like I don't know what it was at the beginning ESG maybe and then it started there for the president like the cult and then it ended then it ended up at the Cure uh but yeah and then I just asked him to remix it and he said yeah wow so when I heard it I thought God it's almost like it's so simple that it works there's so much space in it that it comes off it's just a great [ __ ] pop song yeah well it's undeniable which is why it was the first single it was one of I would record in batches and then people would come down and they'll have three songs and that was the one that people going oh [ __ ] oh what's that yeah and um and then uh and then um yeah as the as the record progressed it was the one that people keep saying oh play is that under that Bob that pretty boy one so that was why it came out first but uh yeah it's a weird one for fans because a lot of fans were thinking oh my God a drum machine again you know but but it's not yeah yeah I mean I I love it but you you know you can't please everybody all the time but yeah I'm playing please those fans reacted to that I mean I feel like accepts um I'd say high flying birds fans yes uh very receptive and sympathetic of what kind of musical trip you're on Oasis fans I feel from what I can make out get a bit frustrated that if you know I write a song like dead in the water and easy now and they would say why can't why can't we have an album full of that stuff and it's like well you know if I could do that stuff I'd re [ __ ] rewrite Definitely Maybe wouldn't I you know and if I if I was 27 again I'd do that but I'm not 27 anymore so but uh I think Oasis fans get a bit frustrated but on the on the main it's I'm on Main it's great easy now to me is exactly that it it reminded me of an old Oasis song to me that song should be massive it's a [ __ ] brilliant tune it's some of the best your chorus on that the bridges everything just feels large it feels anthemic to me ordinarily when I'm writing if I if I'm writing a song on it and it starts to sound like Oasis I probably won't take it to its logical conclusion because it'll just be a substandard rewrite of SuperSonic or Morning Glory or Champagne Supernova and it will and the those kind of songs always fall down at the chorus and I go yeah and I'll just work on something else however on this tune when I got to the chorus I was like ah but this one sounds as good as anything that Oasis ever did uh and I thought it's got the same kind of shape as little by little and the master plan and things like that and I thought so I yes I persevered with it and it's [ __ ] great and um that's why it was the second single just to say to Oasis fans calm it just calm down calm down it's all it's going to be good um so yeah it is I I get I get yeah I guess that that song would stand up against any Oasis song I would think yeah beautiful song one thing I noticed on the album that I thought was interesting is track number one opens with you know horns like you've got a lot of horns on that record and there's strings all over this album it just feels Lush and seeing 10 of you on stage you know we were sitting out there for sound check that's a big band to tour with what are you thinking that can't be cost effective well this is true and the band was 13 of us last time and my management just said look we're taking 20 of everything you [ __ ] earn if we don't earn anything you know and I was like well I'm all right I [ __ ] wrote Wonderwall I'm all right I think of a [ __ ] about making money off touring [ __ ] this [ __ ] is gonna have a good time and uh the more people I have on stage the better the better I sound so um but no my my you know my former band it was a straight rock and roll band it was it was about the attitude and the and the songs and you know the the DIY Punk attitude of it all this is a bit more different it takes a lot of people you know I could I could do it I could do it with a four piece band but what sounds good right you know and I don't like to make records by halves you know I like to make the songs on this record but as they were as they were progressing it was like another big [ __ ] songs you know they deserve a big kind of sound to it and I think sometimes when you're you're if you go for a big sound on a little song you kind of it doesn't really make any sense but the songs were big anyway so and I yeah and I and I need the people to pull it off for the for the pub for the paying fans you know what I mean because you want to give them a night out where they go wow [ __ ] you know it sounded you know as good as the record so um but yeah but we're about we're about to find out now whether all this is a [ __ ] waste of money or whether we're gonna have a great time I think it's probably not a waste of money and this tour is going to be solid um I think that this once this album hits as it has today that the reaction is going to be huge on this record we listen to it all the way down here it's just [ __ ] good man okay so in this in this day and age you know I just I would just like people to listen to it as an album and then once you once you've got yourself and [ __ ] around the pick separate tracks on do what you want but actually works great as a bunch of site flows really really well together I think and it's a it's a it's a real it's a proper album you know as a as a as a journey and a shape to it that's that's great um but yeah they don't come along that often do you know what I mean I I'm you know I you know I've been writing songs for 30 30 odd years now and you know I've written some great iconic records and I'm not saying this one is in any way iconic or anything like that I don't think it could be in this day and age but I know when I was in it I was thinking this is this is really [ __ ] good you know you can feel it you know whereas my last record was really good but in a different way because it was so far out and so experimental and we managed to pull it off um so yeah it's a good yeah I'm very very I'm very pleased with how it's turned out yeah yeah you get you've got to be feeling it because the moment I heard it easy now I'm like one of the best things he's ever written um so in addition to you know just watching your sound check some of those songs sound uh sounded amazing and then you covered uh Joy Division and you kind of changed it up a bit and I saw the video of the live performance was it BBC yeah brilliant I loved it well anytime you [ __ ] go to the BBC now you can't do anything without doing a cover you know they ask you to go along and perform and then they say oh can you do someone else's song as well and you're like really yeah because if someone else's [ __ ] song and uh the reason why I did that was that is actually the first song I ever learned to play on the guitar on the top string I learned the bass line and uh I did a little I did a little demo of it at my studio and I thought actually it's gonna [ __ ] work and then when I played it to the band when I told them we were going to do it they were all kind of looking at each other going really fine take on well there is a particularly if you come from where I come from it's kind of it's sacrilegious you know what I mean yeah but if I didn't think we'd done a good job or not I wouldn't do it and the more that we play it the better it'll get but um well I think if you're going to do a song don't copy it please make it your own don't go out the way that we're doing it now it feels kind of fresh to me do you know what I mean it feels like it's a high-flying bird song Almost I mean um but yeah I don't when you see people doing covers and they'd copy it not for no it's like what's the [ __ ] point of that you know what I mean but um yeah I wonder I just be strange how it goes down across America you know because I'm not sure the daily version but I mean look everyone American audience well everyone will know that song event when it gets to the chorus people go oh oh yeah yeah I know yeah I know did he didn't [ __ ] ride this did he I woke up this morning and saw that your brother Liam tweeted about that song you had to have seen the tweet okay so he he was apologizing for you destroying that song be tired of this [ __ ] you really do well well I'm not on social media so I don't it doesn't it doesn't reach me until people say oh by the way you [ __ ] Atlanta now whatever but you know I don't I don't I don't I don't know how to react to things like that anymore yeah yeah you know it's like well let's put it this way when he's doing his thing I've got better things to do in my life than listen to what he's doing yeah so I take it as a compliment that he's kind of trolling the [ __ ] internet at whatever time in the morning looking for that kind of thing but you know I mean he should concentrate on what's left of his [ __ ] hairdo and not worry about what I'm [ __ ] getting up to chance I know you're tired of this question but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway is there a chance that the brothers will get back together and write another Oasis record or even tour well you know I've been saying it he's gonna have to call me he's gonna have to get somebody to call me because he's been going on about it for the last [ __ ] 10 or whatever it is and you know he doesn't want it and he knows he he knows that neither of us particularly are [ __ ] interested in it I know he doesn't want it I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing I couldn't give a flying [ __ ] one way or the other but you know when he keeps going on about it and I'm like okay we'll [ __ ] call us then let's see what you've got to say you know you've made up all these imaginary ground rules down the years and told kids it's happening it's happening now it's coming it's definitely happening blah blah I dare him he'd be watching this now is this going on your website is it I I [ __ ] dare you to call me I dare you to call me and you won't call me because if you do call me and I go actually that's a good idea actually that might work then the ass falls out of his trousers because then you've got to be in the same room as me and then we both know how that ends up so you call me stop tweeting you're bigger than that you're better than that Noel Gallagher backstage at the White River Amphitheater man you knocked that one out of the park thank you my man very much I really appreciate it
