and welcome back Dave Fanny here with our
number two of our Noel Gallagher special that last interview by the way that you heard
before the news that was from 1994 nearly 30 years ago it was before the release of
the very first album from Oasis called Definitely Maybe okay if I have the time I'm
going to play some new songs like Pretty Boy and dead to the world and the title track
of the new album Council skies in this next hour but first the new single and don't
forget by the way the band plays kilmaine and Dublin on August 27th so from councils
guys this is open the door see what you find okay just let's take a look at a few other bits
because I don't know why I want to go back to Morrissey because you mentioned we mentioned
it earlier on but um there's a there is a story Russell Brand Los Angeles Noel Gallagher yeah um
just give us a bit of that first of all I mean first of all you're with well I'm on holiday well
I'm on holiday with uh my misses and the kids well you know I'm glad you told me you're on holiday
because I'll tell you one thing Morrissey never found ocean Ronaldo he doesn't give two Hoots
what you're doing he only cares about himself so Russell is living out there at the time as is
Morrissey and um so I called muscle's a friend of mine so I called him and he was saying oh
I'll tell him honestly you're going to be in town he wants to go out for a drink and that's
great and um so we've got to answer this English bar you know and there he is and uh he uh he just
canceled a lot of gigs because he had pneumonia or something and I was like uh now I've met him
before and um I was like I thought you were you know I thought you were on Death Star you kind
of like the gigs and he's like yeah yeah here I am it's so Morrissey those things so anyway
we get so we get to going stock into boozing me and him and he was with a couple of guys and
um it pulls out this CD which he tells somebody support it's not a CD of his music it's a CD of
like a compilation CD because the music's on the music's Dreadful in this bar you know any cats
and that's all this stuff from the 70s jabrieth and Brian prothero and oh yeah and all this and
he's he's kind of going to know this song and I'm like no and he's going really it got to number
47 in 1973. and uh and I thought I'd never heard of it but he paid me this track one night caught
out that night called pinball by Brian protherov that I use as an inspiration for that's for
the track I chase it yes they call River man um but he gets a lot of flack Morrissey because
he's a he's he's tricky but I I adore him oh yeah I adore him I think he's a I think he's one of
the greats and he's one of those people I he will make me laugh until I cry laughing he's uh and
and my jaw and stomach will be hurt in the next day but I love him dearly and of course Russell
Brand wasn't drinking Russell Brown was trying to hold on for d your life because Morrissey
was really being very very mean to him which was very funny yeah okay yeah I've heard the
stories already Okay so let's take a look at a few other things just while we're on you and
out in the public eye I mean the things that we read in the paper sometimes are so funny the
way you can get a headline if you really want I mean there's one here which is something about it
30 minutes ago I don't know it's yeah it's about um you know exclusive no let's rip on the front
page of the mirror and that says Harry's and F and woke flake now you're not talking about Harry
Styles here you're talking about you know who the same Harry who by the way I mean you know this
royal family thing you go to Australia you can talk about your album you can talk about Oasis
you can talk about anything they just want to know do you know Harry and what's he like I
don't know everywhere you go even in America they're obsessed with the royal family and
and uh well actually one of the funny things about that night was where Morrissey was it
was the night of William and Kate's wedding back in England and a woman came over to the
table and she said I excuse me but I overheard your accents and I know you're British and I just
want to congratulate you on the wedding tomorrow and put his eyes up into his head so he had white
and he's just going I've never seen it's almost like sitting out the Exorcist but um yeah the
right yeah I mean I I've been asked to come to comment on the coronation and I was like my
generation don't care we don't care you know one way the other like we just get on with it you
know I mean no one's bothered now the Queen's dead no one cares well then here's a more important
question then um Highland um do you think he's better with the with the ponytail I don't think
he's better looking like a sort of a Viking God I think he can do whatever he wants with the
Barnet that guy is he's just the dragon slayer he really is I love him he's a funny he's a funny
funny lad by the way yeah he's very funny and uh I mean he is some player he's somebody yeah it's
great you know when we were outside earlier was talking about current modern music and one of the
things you can give out of it all the time Bland and all the rest is there's no room for or you're
not allowed to have mistakes yeah do you look back on music from the past and say that's why
it's real it's human of course if you listen to any early Rolling Stone stuff it's All Out
of Time Out Of Tune and the Beatles stuff and all of them you know and just why you know
and it that thing of a band recording in a room it's very very special that's why Definitely
Maybe it's a special special album because it was the five of us doing that thing that we did in a
room No Frills you know a couple of overdubs that was there um and uh recently listening to these
outtakes that I found in the in the Sony vaults um it just it proves it you know it's just
the magic things but now yeah everything's on a computer now you know people write
songs they're not even in the same country you know it's it's it's a far cry from the
music that I and you grew up listening to um but yeah I and all that's all right if you've
got a song if you've got a tune a chorus you know I get asked a lot if you've got any advice for
our kids have got any advice and just like just put everything into the chorus it's your life
it's life and death the chorus is alive and death and uh I think Young Lads now when you see
bands as it's like over here but the Ladson band seem to wear guitars as opposed to play them and
uh I just think songwriting is suffering I think songwriting is suffering indeed so if that's
the case then like what what can be done or can anything be done I mean like you were given
out recently about you said something to do with friends like the TV program and coffee has and
the money is not going you see there's an audience out that's basically getting music for free these
days well yeah they don't appreciate it well no of course why how could you if you're not if you've
not got on the bus gone into town to buy it how can you feel any ownership of it that's exactly it
and uh the thing about friends I never mentioned friends I don't know how that's that's really it
said recently and that's that's the thing I've been going on about for years that the the my
point was that people will gladly pay 20 euros for two coffees but will refuse to pay for music
things that can change your life you know that can make you a better person that can alter the
way that you think about things music has changed has changed people's lives people now refuse
to pay for it but they've got a certain pray 20 euros for two overpriced coffees talk nonsense
for half an hour and get on with their lives so expression and freedom of thought is that what
you really get out of music is that what music is from what is it's fascinating songs themselves
are fascinating you can play 10 people 10 different people one song and they'll have a
different opinion I am but it's music for me was always escapism because I had a pretty tough
childhood it was like I was just immersed in in the music and you know you would close your
eyes and you just drift off and that'd be it um so it means different things to
different people it's fun people exclusively listen to sad music you know
some people excuse me listen to pop music but they are you should pay for it because the
artist puts his life and soul into it do you know you growing up there were so many people in
the family in terms of like you know other like I mean nephews or nieces and all the rest of them
Etc and you've often said like no matter where I am I really do have this feeling that people
from Manchester are just the best well we're just different Tony Wilson said it the best when he
said we just do things differently um but yeah I mean yeah every time I mean I go back regular and
yeah there's just there's something about it I was driving around there I was up there for the match
the other night and I was just driving around there and some funny people in that town but um
you know all the heritage in that City and the bands that come together even if a conservative
estimate half a dozen of the great spans of our lives have come out of that City the Bee Gees and
the buscocks and the monsters and Joy Division Oasis song roses you said there earlier on that
you were driving around my story I'm glad I'm sitting down here and we are driving I don't drive
I was just gonna say you weren't driving you were being driven being driven yeah yeah I'm part of
the solution I'm not part of the problem sorry are you telling me you've never learned how to drive
no never I think I won driving lesson in the 90s and just like it's not for me so in London it's
both underground and taxis is this uh well I was I used to take the tube a lot before the pandemic
and I've kind of gotten out of the habit of that um but yeah the two I love getting another
[ __ ] I mean it's just easier I can't I can't be bothered with cars never stop me buying a few
but I don't uh yeah people who drive cars I was stressing out about nowhere to park and all that
thing and it's just I can't be bothered with it but okay so like if you're around the tube I
presume you wear a cap or something about anything okay so Noah Gallagher's sitting there
I'm sure there's some types who finally realize who you are and have to say it to you
like they've won a competition or something are you are you Liam Gallagher well no the
Liam Gallagher one I was going to get him the Liam Gallagher one is this do you think
some people say it here just to annoy you no uh I know obviously not to get her wrong I
don't I don't think so I think people genuine I think because they recognize the face that's
because we look similar and he's he's more prominent than I am it's just like you know that's
the way it is I wouldn't I wouldn't have thought people say it doesn't annoy me anyway so right
so we're like okay well let's just go back then to the band itself because in 2009 you broke it
up you were outside of gigging you said that's it that's fine you seem to be very happy about that
breakup I mean it was the right time to do it I think so we hadn't I'd I'd forgotten how to
write for Oasis I was I felt very constricted by the parameters of the stadium Rock thing and I it
run its course the I mean the band the band still doing Monster gigs but it was gonna it dawned on
me we'd been doing the same 12 songs for 20 years with a few added new ones and it was the
same stuff off the first two albums and yeah it just won his course to me as a as
a writer it had I died really and I had a rebirth when I now I write my own pace and I
can write whatever I want but I'm five times the writer I was now the one I left you know and
um I I just think if I if we were still together and we were still putting out albums it would be
Dreadful really I think the music would be well I'd never have written the death of
you and me I'd never written River man I never have made who built the moon yeah I never
have got a chick playing the scissors I don't know that would have happened I have some some of you
listening might think well you wish it had in the bathroom but for me for me it's been uh it's been
a great it's been a great little trip the pipeline purse I've loved it yeah but could you could you
could you go back and say we should have taken a year off we should have taken two years off we
should have gone off to do our own thing and then come back refresh I had mentioned that once
or twice and the other fella was to paraphrase you're not [ __ ] putting me on the shelf for
three or four years or whatever you know and you know you become institutionalized by a band
the way it's just it's just all that you know yeah all that you know is playing what's the story
morning glory and cigarettes and alcohol and it becomes second nature when it becomes second
nature becomes boring and there's one thing I I can put up with anything apart from boredom
boredom is the enemy for me and if I listen not that if I listen back to the latter part of Oasis
there's not it's kind of starting to get a bit better but really there's not really a great deal
in there and everybody else has started writing and it's not what it was Oasis was always Liam
singing my songs that's what it was and then he wanted to write more therefore the other
guys wanted to write more so it wasn't really worthy of the name on the cover of the record
for me and then there's other things going on you know behind the curtain that yeah it
was just it just wasn't a very happy time what about the documentaries that we've seen I
mean the documentaries are great yeah you know they do give a good picture yeah yeah yeah
well when we were when we were the first one supersonic yeah the um I have to give credit
to the producers who made it who I thought it was gonna though because it started off as
soon as I started off as as what became the net worth documentary right and um the guy said look
no one's interested in a gig you know we want to we want to they want to see what it was like to be
in the band and I was all like oh God I don't want to deal with the Fallout thing and all that and
luckily they said we think there's a great film from the meant from the day you formed to the
walks on stage at now but that's the story and I was like well they are the Glorious and credit
to them yeah they they pushed it all in that direction so there's no there's no tragedy
in Supersonic and there's no tragedy in in um the neighbors documentary which is perfect it's
perfect I just leave it at that you know because future Generations I tell you what the supersonic
documentary sold it to Future generations and the sir the the net worth thing it's just a
celebration of the 90s for me and I think I think they're perfect I think we did well the
future Generations let's just say they're there at the moment because like it's been 13 or 14
years since Oasis and certainly 13 or 14 or 15 or 20 years since the 90s and the amount
of people buying Oasis albums now the amount of younger people under the age of 21 who are
looking for something it just isn't there and you gave it to them you gave it to us I mean
and then you're giving it to them now as well by proxy you're not even doing it yeah well that
you that's the The Testament of the of that well I would say it's the Testament of the songs well
then why couldn't you go ahead and do all that again and do like the the 10 best high-flying
bird sounds even do a beating would it be a stretch to do a Beady ice that wasn't India so
it wasn't that wouldn't interest me in the slides but you could you could easily easily easily be
done again but you know forget the money forget all this 100 million being offered nonsense no
one's ever been no I know that I know that yeah Liam Liam believes in the tooth fairy right and the Loch Ness monster so I'm afraid
he's not a very reliable witness um it would have to take an extraordinary
chain of events for it to happen I'm not saying those chain of events could
could never you know would never happen but I just don't see it our kid can be very
disingenuous with the way that he keeps saying to people on Twitter it's happening
it's happening it's happening you know and you know he said put his money where his mouth
is because he thinks it's happening but like the fact that he would take you to court about
being you said he was hungover and couldn't do some gig or something does that wrinkle the fact
that he's looking for the eight quid back for the two vodka and tonics which your mother then
gave him but he says that's not the same thing as getting it from from you a moment I gotta
get it from now uh there is a saying where the boy protests us too much okay we're gonna play
another song this is a pretty boy which is from the album cancel skies in other words the new
one from uh Noah Gallagher and high fine Birds to me well we've heard from Noel 2023 and we will
again in a few minutes and we've heard from him in 94 and 2000 now let's go back
to 2008. Noel Gallagher family man I've got kids now kids are a great leveler
you either you either raise normal people to a certain extent or you raise idiots if you were
never to go to the shops and never to converse with the woman at the checkout or never to be
seen to be buying a pint of milk or you haven't got the right change anyway all that nonsense
the kids will grow up to be hideous you know so when I take my kids around the supermarket um it's
kind of it's it's letting them know that although dad is on the TV every now and again it's still
it's you know they get a bit my little dog when the last time I was in other words whether I was
getting Hustle by some guy was saying can I take a picture they're saying well I'm with the kids
and he said oh come on can I take a picture and I was going look it was like Sunday morning I was
trying to you know we're trying to buy breakfast and he said oh come on mate you know Legend my
little daughter is eight looked at him she said I think technically you have to be dead to be
a legend and I was like looking out and going I'll give you that fatty you know
and uh that was it we walked off and I was like it's great that she's been in a
situation like that she's got she's an idiot it's dead you'd be dead to be a legend that's not
a brilliant you should be my PR by the way do you like being a dad and is it good that's great like
your dad used to lay concrete floors love country and western music he didn't really see him that
much but the country and western music side of that did you pick up on that point he had the he
brought home uh the first guitar that was in our house you know so there you go if it wasn't if
it wasn't for that but I dare so it wouldn't be saying now but um that you know being I never
plan to have children they happened it's not like how it's not like I I feel I'm super dad
or anything like that and it's not like I would um it's all about the kids you know it's not it's
all about it's not all about the kids it's not all about me and it's not all about the misses either
it's all about the families you know what I mean but I like I like being a dad it's great fun
you know to be to be able to act like a prison Ward and the two little kids it's brilliant you
know sit down stand up sit down again come here go away I like all that brilliant what about the
responsibility side of it I mean there's another side of it well that's what I that's what mothers
are for dancer for fun football chalk ice and chips right the mothers have the responsibility uh
yeah I start I don't I I'm not educating nobody no I'm here the shits and giggles right if you want
anything important to him go and see your mother all right well look I'll tell you what I gotta
move back over there into Oasis for a second or two can I wait for the family stuff which is the
Liam um thing how's Liam doing these days the all right he's great he's he's he's started really
looking after himself and eating properly and jogging apparently I see pictures of them in
the paper and I've yet to see it in person but um it's about time it's time when you get to
the songwriting and like he had Songbird and you made the album stuff the clocks for the best
dog because you didn't want the record company to necessarily be in charge of that because you might
entrust them to do a proper best of and you put it together you put an illustration for every song
yeah you put a red brick wall or something should I tell you why that is he didn't well because
red is the color of Love Is that is that's right that's a terrible answer for that that's right
yeah and he he well Liam being Liam thought it was a in his own I thought it was a red toilet
wall was it no I don't know what it's from but um you know there you go Liam Liam hasn't
got a clue what you want so what he feels or what he knows or what he thinks he knows he's
exists in this darn tiny little bubble God bless it's one of the reasons why Leah might not
like you is because you're indifferent too he doesn't like somebody being different
to him he wants to have a big opinion ah no I think I I I annoy him greatly and
I understand that because I'm brilliant and I'm better than he is you know what I mean and
that's fine you know any any and he annoys me because I annoy him no but it's not that we don't
like each other I wouldn't go out for a drink with him or anything like that I wouldn't I wouldn't
go to his house it's a Sunday lunch or anything like it always ends up in arguments about you know
the track listing of definitely maybe someone you know but um I kind of I don't I she's just he's
just another member of the band to me do you know what I mean and I don't I don't I don't hang out
with any of the other guys either you know I've got no particular favorites in the band sure I'm
I'm you know I was I was born a loner you know and um but um yeah I'm indifferent to him he's
obsessed with me whether you would have been a nurse you are the leader of Oasis is that just
can I admit yeah okay you admit that great okay did that happen by accident or design does it
have to happen because it was hardly going to be Liam no I think uh I think that every band
you cannot run a band as a democracy you come to a certain extent but somebody has to
carry the can and make decisions and say I think we should do this or we're going to do
that other than that you'd just be forever kind of you know um everybody should have this I mean
everybody does get this saying all that but in the uh the the the the die was cast in the early days
when bonehead quiggs yeah Tony McConnell and Liam didn't have a clue about anything and I've been
in the music business for one of a better term for five years previously so I kind of knew the moves
that we should be making and I just can't you know and I was writing all the songs so everybody
deferred to me managers record company all defer to me and it's just been that way ever since but
I don't mind that you know I was in a program in London in the early 90s and I met you before
Oasis and you were working for a band called Inspire campus and we had them on the television
program you seem to really enjoy working there I got the person you loved being a roadie yeah I
loved it I thought you know when I was growing up and I loved music and and I always thought I
would somehow end up doing music but when I got the job was a roadie I thought that was it and I
was quite I would be quite prepared now to still be a roadie now it was it was great money you
travel the world you don't have any picture taken nobody knows who you are what a life you know but
I really oh that was the greatest gig in the world it's like setting up a drum kit you know in South
America then how many people like me you know that's before all this uh it's just they were they
were great there in fact I looked back on those days it's probably the happiest you know because
you had no baggage you didn't have to be anywhere you didn't have to be anybody nobody knew you
were yeah but it was uh yeah they were great days speaking of drums did you play drums in this
current album I played on three trucks yeah I was throwing three tracks and you also went
solo not Oasis on a tour yeah last night what are you telling us here uh what well for the
reason I really I well I enjoy doing that um and the reason that went on that tour was
because stop that we just finished the last tour and stop the clocks had just come out
and we weren't going to promote it right and um they wanted to send me on a world promo tour
I said well I don't I can't do I can't be doing a world tour of just doing interviews because the
only time I do I like doing interviews is when I've got a gig that night they're the good bits
and someone said well why don't you do give them I was like ah and there goes a chance to play
songs that we wouldn't normally play and um the gigs were kind of really really small and they
were for competition winners it wasn't really a pain thing but um you know I really really enjoyed
that I did something I look forward to doing again do you know there's a momentum that happens that
if you can just kind of get in on it then you know things can just go along and be really big for
instance when the Beatles came to America a few months after President Kennedy was assassinated it
just was right time right place it was so perfect this Beatles Invasion almost nothing to do with
them you had two big albums in the station in Britain the two biggest albums and was like okay
now here we go the states is going to be huge this is going to be fantastic it was the big thing
around the news getting to the airport and in the airport Liam goes out to have them goes off do you
blame Liam no matter how big he might be in the States now do you blame Liam for blowing the major
chance I don't I don't blame him but when but when he says nonsense and interviews like saying oh I
can't understand why we're not as big as America it's like well look back to the airport if you're
not going to turn not for gigs then I put it like this if we had Bonnell or Chris Martin would
be huge out there because musically were equal to those two bands and I'm not and I'm not I'm
not putting Liam down because he's got his own merits and all that but we're not the kind of band
that engage with an audience if we add members in the band who engaged with an audience would be
massive saying that when we first did gold there they did subtitles on American TV because well
we're kind of monkeys and we talk quite fast and um never was a band and a nation divided by
the same language people would they didn't know what we were going on about but um I don't
blame is not the right word but one of the one of the reasons that we didn't quite put the
ball in the net and it's not just thing we were a bit unprofessional when we went there we
didn't we said they thought we were on a record label which was used to Mariah Carey and Celine
Dion they never had a rock band from England and they expected us to go there and play the
game yeah and that was the last thing on our minds you know we weren't we was like look we'll
we'll come and do whatever we have to do but I don't really believe I've got to go and see the
guy who owns the Record Shop with fat kids what's all that about you know what I mean it's either
if you want to buy the record you've gone by I'm not going to scratch anybody's back because I'm
not expecting anybody to scratch mine the deal is is we turn up we play you clap we've gone by the
record if you don't we'll go on you know but um to them it was to the to Epic at the time it was
so alien to them that they couldn't they couldn't believe that we were not willing to kind of bend
over backwards for them but yeah you can't you've got to stay true to yourself I think okay well
there's no magazine prestigious Music Magazine from Britain and when it did it's 550 greatest
British albums of all time you had a bunch of them in there and you're also at number one and
two is that correct is that what you should be I'm just gonna jump in there and say there was number
one and two yeah number one and two and 17 and 11 yeah I think so four on the top 20. yeah
four on the top pretty good isn't it the beat or something that's right indeed yeah well I when
those things always come out you'll always find that the biggest album of the last two years is
always sits on top of there so you can never quite judge what they mean I gotta say I was really made
up that the two albums were way over 10 years old so they've stood the test of time it's not kind
of a it's not part of any fud or anything so I well okay let's put this way and stand in the
test of time is it a bit of a problem is it that like once you've had those two albums is it very
difficult to start judging the next five after The Madness of those two and what they meant I mean
they meant everything even the four what was the what was the fourth single For the First Time
cigarettes and alcoholism he said don't don't lose the fourth single and that was the biggest
hit for the biggest one that proved you were wrong it was just such a big arm every single bit of it
but if I was if I was to sit and listen to you Mr Dave Fanning I'd never write another song but me
being the way I am it's like I I love the history of the band and I love those I love those but
the particularly of the first album but I never I never sit down to write and think what's gone
before I just do it for me and for now you know if I never write another song I'll go to bed thinking
well I'm easily in the top 10 of all time easy believe I'm gonna write another song if I if I thought
about Champagne Supernova or rock and roll star because who's better those songs in this and I get
the one thing that gets me is when um you know a review of an album comes out they'll always say ah
yeah but you know definitely maybe a morning glory and they've never really kind of set us and it's
like right well who has you know so you're putting me in the car in the same category as every other
band in England because nobody's better those two albums right not me not Tom York not Robbie
Williams like YouTube nobody no one so we're all in the same boat but they never say that when
you know radiohead's album comes out well it's not subscribe it's not up to the same standards
it Definitely Maybe no man let's all move on foreign music there from high-flying birds and Noah
Gallardo just a few last things know just about um the whole idea of like we were talking about
modern music and that but what about you you did say I'm pretty heartfelt when you said basically
that the Arts could do it a few less Posh people let's put it in very simplistic terms here
musical equipment is very very expensive now uh when I was growing up it was cheap dirty old
equipment and you and and you know um necessity being the mother of invention and all that now
record labels don't seem to be willing to give the working class a shout and the working class
can't afford the working class don't have a voice all the grime kids do uh all the kids um are
into that like that kind of music they've got a voice young Lads playing guitars not seeing
Tower voice and it's difficult it's difficult times you can't but then again the other part of
me thinks well there cannot be some guy out there writing the best songs in the world and he's not
getting a break can't be because the the music always finds a way no matter what you know we
live in an age where these capture everything you know and it will always find a way out there but
everything's seen all all the working class music seems to be these Dreadful singer-songwriters
there's no bands anymore you know what I mean there's no there's no bands where you see four
guys that's what I'm saying about the people up to you all the teenagers are looking for something
that they really want they're only finding it in a band for the 90s called Oasis why yeah well we're
all in our 50s now so that's a bit sad isn't it but there you go yeah well then I don't know I
don't I don't know I don't know what the solution is I said I did my bit yeah the thing is though
when you were doing your bidding before the band you had your enemy and you had your yeah you know
your your sounds a Melody Maker and Smash Hit Soul Etc and like you know your mother knew
you were doing gigs you were playing gigs you were successful it meant nothing to her
but then you were on top of the pops yeah oh we're on Thursday oh Jesus I said to
phone everybody you know and as only then she started to take off seriously
but um yeah I mean yeah we were look we were extremely fortunate that we were all from
Manchester and we had this great City with this great musical Heritage so you didn't have to look
far for the inspiration it was all around you you know yeah and but all those rehearsal rooms now
they're all Flats you know our wine bars so even now on a very very basic level has argon rehearsal
rooms are expensive you know musical equipment is expensive um all the old second-hand music shops
are shut down economics dictates everything now for and every part of society uh and it didn't
but when we were growing up you know there were there were people who owned disused warehouses
who were just so happy to let you use it you know what I mean but that's just the way the
world okay well the final question then what does one other person I want to mention because
you've toured with you seem to get on very well with the lead singer of you too how's that going
he's good yeah he's all right he's doing his his book show yeah it's called surrender it's a
one-man isn't it I was the stone away yeah I couldn't because there was none of it on YouTube
and he didn't really know what to expect there's none of it anywhere also they take the phones off
you before you yeah you can't see or do anything yeah but it's astonishing like I mean some
people spend a whole life putting on a one-man show like that he's just doing that in between
other things there's nothing else going on my my eldest son Donovan I took the kids to see it
obviously because they're knowing really well and the bit was up dancing on the table they just
went in and said I think he's finally lost it and uh but it was great it was it's like
nothing else I'd ever seen before yeah and uh but yeah he's good he's good they're getting
ready for the thing in Vegas in September yeah that was going to be great which I'm going
to be going to I can't wait it's my favorite my favorite period of view too and uh I I actually
sent Edge uh when they did that act on baby thing in Manchester in 1992 they did a gig with craft
work of Public Enemies for the sellerfield thing I sent them a setlist and was like might we have
a look at this to set list to die for you know and um but they're doing good they're doing good yeah
and you know that that one man show thing is very good that's amazing if you get a chance to go
see it it really is a story about his youth his father in particular obviously his friends
yeah and a little bit of Pavarotti and that's it would you ever see yourself doing that
no from growing up in Manchester United playing what's growing up well I say I say
it now I'm about to go on tour and I've got a couple of other albums lying around not now
