![Oasis – 'Definitely Maybe' - Noel Gallagher In Conversation With John Robb [Full Interview]](/img/tr.png)
When Noel’s talking about hating ‘Morning Glory’ he doesn’t mean he hates the music, he means the mix and the fact he thinks he rushed the writing of some songs. Still the best Oasis album for me.
in fairness, the mix is shit for Morning Glory
The loudness war i'm afraid.
@@jaggassYeah: one of the first large artillery shots fired in that absolute shitshow of a war.
The mix is incredible, he’s bugging. He also thinks “Roll with it” is a bad song when it’s such a classic.
@@Chanelson2010 yeah I don’t get his hate for it either, but he’s very critical of his own music in general so doesn’t surprise me. He also changes his mind a lot, he seems to have mellowed on BHN.
"You can AI the singers voice and his tambourine playing... but you can't AI what I do" haha what a legend
Pretty soon you will be able to AI everything he does as well.
I think it's easier to get a more real guitar sound with AI than a voice that doesn't sound like chopped up and autotuned.
@@HenritheHorse I'm pretty sure he's talking about composing the songs.
@@rafaelsantosx Yes, my bad, should watch the whole video before commenting.
@@rafaelsantosx yes but you can get ai to write songs if train it.
Nothing better than listen to Noel talks about music
noel knows why the country is gone shit, simply due to immigration and DIEversity
Shame about his music though, innit?
@@JC.67 13 number 1 albums... can't be that bad
agreed... if anybody doesn't like it, then you do better @J C
@@JC.67 so what are you playing of interest then !
He absolutely nailed the critique of his own albums... total honesty and spot on
Sail On is his best song for a long time. It hits home. I dont know why it doesnt get more love
Agreed 😁
Totally agree !!
Always though it could be a comeback single for Natalie Imbruglia 😜
@@dlovas haha
Right, fabulous and simple.
I had no idea he was so critical of his own music. I thought he only dislikes Be Here Now, but he is really critical about his songwriting and the amount of “good songs” on each record. This is interesting, bc a lot of independent artists are like this, never thought Noel was like that as well, definitely can relate
Yes I was suprised as well. But that is showing that Noel has some kind of distance to his music despite the fact he is Duke of Manchester 🤣
@PeteManic He was in the band for 20 years and said their best album was their first and sixth, so what you are saying doesn't make much sense.
I thought it was odd he didn't like "the Mexican" and I thought Marr played that riff
Noel and liam are always funny and a joy to listen to.
"The dukes of manchester" is a great band name
Especially if the band has Noel and Johnny in it. Fcuk it, lets have Ian Brown as well.
i couldn't care less about the music and oasis in general... but that guy's got an attitude and a way of critical thinking that well resonates with me.
'The world is a great place... It's just full of c**ts, and it's the internets fault!' 😂🤣👍 Never a truer word said 😆😉
I've seen the internet for 15 years now.
My faith in humanity is a little scarred.
He gott right to the point 😉Agreed
@@MoonwalkerWorshiper My as well 🙄I thnik with every year people becoming more stupid. I lived my life with interent and without. I was growing up without and iam happy by this fact
@@kasiabe1164 People seem to willingly expose their stupidity when they write online, probably because it's anonomous. Doesn't matter though the author is still an imbecile.
anti-social media. there is no putting it back into Pandora's Box where it belongs anytime soon
I love the new album. Just saw him live and the new songs sound great in concert.
At 25:17 the “reunion” of Oasis is brought up. We were blown away when Noel explained that Oasis has never been made an offer. So there you have it promoters, offer the $$$ and he’ll consider the reunion-let’s go!🙏🏻🎧
A while back Liam said they'd been offered 100 MILLION Pounds. Must've been bullshitting.
@@theselector4733liam always bullshitting lmao
I pray this happens. Never seen them live but loved their music in my formative years. Would be incredible for them to reform for a series of gigs.
What an excellent interview, thankyou for this! The interviewer is great, he lets the guest talk and doesn't interrupt, Noel very much seemed to enjoy his company.
I love it when he talks about Robert Smith.❤
Why don't his kids tell him
about the all caps thing lol 😅
@8:00 we need a virtual tour of Noel's studio!
Loving all these Noel vids currently, could listen to him talk for hrs .
Always fun.
I could listen to that man talk all day. Speaks so much sense whilst being fucking hilarious at the same time
11:57 I love Noel calling "Come On Outside" as "Come On It's Alright", I never understood why the name of the song was changed to "Outside", plus I refuse to call it that way, was always "It's Alright" to me since the Oasis days
i caught that mistake in what he called the song too. youre saying there's an Oasis demo of that song where he sings "come on its alright"???
@@johnnyhanel Yeah. It would've fit in nicely on Dig Out Your Soul.
not one bad word from me towards Noel ever, the man is a great song writer, i thank him for Oasis and his debut solo masterpiece.
I like Noel, he’s honest and a bit of an arse. And in the spirit of Noel, I’m gunna be honest; in my opinion Oasis is overrated shite music. Great talent though.
Cheers!
@@MountainBlade yet they have 8 number 1 albums… you’re the kind of person who listens to the Beatles but says they don’t like oasis
@@katiewillson4077couldn’t have said it better myself best thing is there’s interviews about the album where he going saying the track are fucking great and still relevant !!! This guy probably listens to late 90s boy bands or these university educated gangsta rappers 😂
@@MountainBladehahaha overrated shite that has had 3 decades hooked and sold over hundred thousand tickets in the 90s 😂you go get you’re rolph Harris Lp on
I like how he critiques his own work, and is pretty brutal with his criticisms. Genuine guy, Noel
Love the new album, it’s back to form. Did NOT care for “Who Built The Moon” or the EP’s, not at all. Soooo glad he’s back to what we love to hear him doing.🙏🏻🎧☘️
GREAT interview, you let him speak so freely
“The world’s a great place, it’s just inhabited by c*nts and it’s the internet’s fault”.
Thrown in so casually with five seconds left and never a truer word said.
Love Noel and Liam. Totally 💯 honesty.
This is a random thing to say but - look how strong the shadow behind Noel is. He's sat there, directly facing a f*cking stadium light.
Totally compelling. I think the word they use these days is ‘authentic’.
Great interview with a honest legend! One of the greats
I just love the Gallagher brothers, Rock N Roll needed them and they brought us OASIS, good one Noel!, nice interview by the way
I love Noel. He's a fun storyteller!
That jacket is doing Noel no favours!! 😂😂😂
Can you imagine Noel re-recording Definitely Maybe and What's the Story Morning Glory, with him at all the vocals in his new studio mixing them properly with all the new fancy tech? I'd buy that.
just remixed without the harsh loudness id be fine.
Another great interview with my preferred Gallagher brother. Excellent insight as always
Noel is the Master,love to watch his interviews,fan from Serbia
Very down to Earth.
When does he talk about Brexit?
I would gladly watch Noel react to annoying sounds for a full 30 minutes
This man is just brilliant.
Melody’s Maestro.
Hoping Noel just combines the 3 ep's he did and puts that out on cd at some point, yunno?
They're on the singles compilation he did a couple of years ago together
loved that they asked him about the ai thing...
I know Noel is cocky and gobby but he is a master at his musical craft and I think he's genuinely funny. No big fan or ever bought an album but I really like him :)
'Sally can wait' is a sing-song I'll do on my own, no need for drink or drugs its just additive to sing to, thats genius from Noel (yes I'm sure it's not called that but you know what I mean) don't get upset, it's not worth it.
I like Noel and everything I've listened to from him to this day is really good as far as I'm concerned:)
"well, you've got dreadful shoes on so i'm not surprised." LOL brilliant
We love our Duke
And you live in Manchester do you?
No I live in your Mum
anyone befitting of such a distinguished title it would have to be noel. still one of the best sit-downs with any one celebrity.
Really interesting to hear that NG hates the sound of ...Morning Glory! He's spot on about Who Built the Moon? It sounds like a bad mono mix on many of those (albeit cool) songs.
Bad take by Noel imo...the sound of WTSMG is amazing, and definitely their best album sonically, closely followed by SOTSOG
@@AkyovNorthWest I'm guessing he hates the hard compression on it...which is a bit odd considering that D,M is REALLY slammed with compression. Both sound good to my ears though.
@@sodiumlightshe changes his opinion on albums every week so I wouldn't take it too seriously, considering it's his most successful album and set of songs I heavily doubt he'd come out over 25yrs later to say that he hated the sound
Morning Glory while having the best songs, the mix and sound of it is kinda shit. If you go back and listen to it right now after hearing Noels new album, it just sounds compressed and inside a tunnel. It really needs a proper proper remastering.
@@sodiumlights Definitely Maybe is compressed but it still has width to it and sounds natural. Morning Glory is very very digital sounding compared imo.
What A Great Interview.
Noel tells it as it is.
* The Duke of
Manchester *
Has a nice ring to it
Re: 25:35 Tbf the lost tapes does shit on council skies which is quite ironic
I love how much he talks about Young Fathers :)
He’s exactly right about the opening track is wrong. Told my mate, he opened the album with a filler. Other than that, I love the album.
Breezer didn’t need to “AI what I (Noel) do” - they wrote and arranged some quality music that would have fit perfect between WTSMG and BEN. The AI was Liam’s voice and it along with the music sound awesome.
Imagine being the writer of the Morning Glory album and hating it? Mad.
Good call Noel 👍 young fathers are a mish mash of madness with every anomaly and tangent thrown into their music, heard them play Glastonbury festival and that was lit as the kid would say 🎼
all these brexit geezers and the 1975 fanboys in the comments seething, lol. glad to see Noel still has the ability to twist knickers.
Brexit Britain is the same as pre-Brexit Britain, just more immigrants.
Brilliant interview 👍😎
Be here now is brilliant some real classics in there. I do agree some songs are long but look at Champagne supernova on the previous album. The B sides are under appreciated.
Duke of Manchester 😂Really apart from music Noel should make some stand ups ....love that kind of humor.....coz people are nowadays so serious. You cant joke coz it might make someone not ok... missing 90s when all was normall thanx God I grew up in that time
Noel ain't no 'Duke of Manchester' !!
The minute Oasis were signed he moved down South and has never returned since !!
He's 'From' Manchester !!
The Noel of today is as far away from a Mancunian Duke as a Japanese make up artist is !!
Don’t believe the truth is incredibly underrated, glad the god has said it himself
Great interview. 👍🏻
Noel should check out the band Alvvays, from Canada. They're influenced by Oasis out and proud but don't sound anything like them, but you can hear why.
Someone needs to get him onto them.
I just checked them out and they're fucking great! Holy shit, dude. What else would you recommend?
love them, i would check the boy from the south fuckin banging
alvvays r class
great band - their 1st album is one of the best records of the last 10 years
Sounds teletubbies on acid
Haha Stop the clocks! Not having that any longer?! I remember how Noel used to praise that song long long before its final release...x)
Sh*t tune
Looks like there’s no chance he’ll be playing The Mexican again anytime soon either! Surprising as he use to play it and I quite enjoy it myself
I just came to these comments to find someone else puzzling over that! The way he phrased it was so vague I wasn't even sure he was being negative, but yeah I think he was dismissing it, right..?
Because yes, I swear I first heard Noel talk about this "killer song" he'd written called Stop The Clocks in an interview 20 years ago somewhere between, oh, Heathen Chemistry and Don't Believe The Truth, so 2003ish... or maybe even one album cycle earlier, perhaps circa 2001. But for whatever reason it never made whichever album that was, or the one after, or even as a bonus new track on their first singles compilation _despite lending its name to that compilation_ in what seemed an absolute open goal missed, considering it was apparently _the_ great lost Oasis song. And so it made perfect sense that Noel would finally release it when he eventually started a solo career. So it feels very disconcerting that he now appears to be anti it, after all that buildup .
Fair play that he can he can be critical of his past works.
I 100% agree with him on the AI shit. Hate it.
In my mind we have all come to accept that music online has permanently become devalued but I know that AI will be the future so what will people pay for and want to see live? People playing instruments. Or singing in person. I feel that live music will be valued even more than it is today, and it will become “cool” again for people to do more in person.
Duke of Manchester? Why not lol Definitely Maybe, was their best album. I agree. Just raw power. I was not a huge Oasis fan but I respect his talent. Yeah I agree on modern Rock, it's not what it was but it bloody should be.
He’s not lived here for 30 years
The 1975 … a band of northern lads, with a controversial gobby lead singer, who write decent radio pop songs and repurpose and rip off 70s and 80s music for a modern audience… you’d think Noel could empathise…
I think he’s disgruntled because Matt The lead singer said that no one gives a toss about the solo work… he said Oasis should just reform and instantly be the biggest band in the world again.
I’m guessing Noel didn’t like the wording.
Big difference is Matty Healy makes shit music and he’s a nepo baby so It makes him much less rock and roll and more just childish and unlikeable unfortunately.
Its true! High Flying Birds band are atrocious. Oasis made two good albums. HFB made no good albums. Noel Gallaghers solo work post Oasis is well below par. That's because liam is a much better singer/frontman with attitude. Noel isn't a frontman. And Oasis were never the biggest band in the world as they never made it in North America. They were the biggest band from England!
What a tragic trip of comments. Clueless.
What an incredibly unflattering jacket that is on Noel.
😂
Put on weight too
Let's vote. Who should be the "Duke Of Manchester" ?
Noel Gallagher (Oasis)......Morrissey (The Smiths).......Bez (Happy Mondays)
morrissey d be the duchess
It's only ever been the Smiths. Best ever band from Manchester. Morrissey is king & Jonny Marr the prince
Like listening to noel more than the other one lol, noel be dropping pearls of wisdom if you can keep up with his mindset of think😅
Fucking brilliant album. Noel at his peek.
We met in Birmingham a couple of times!
He's very down to earth .....
He's an uneducated theiving thug from Burnage...so of course he's down to earth.
comment about 1975 starts here > 29:20
Boost
I like Noel’s music, he’s undoubtedly a talented musician. However the bashing and disrespect of other artists is a wee bit tiring now. I don’t know anyone else who does that other than the oasis 2!
Every single fan of music says a act they don't like is shit or crap. No difference
The problem is he has a big gob and bad attitude with zero respect. Lots of uneducated males like him do. We grew up in Burnage 5 minutes from his house and that area is full of theiving violent lads with no respect. Its an attitude problem common with males growing up in big urban cities (ie, booze/violence/drugs/theiving) etc. Always mouthing off & bullying others. And always have a cynical negative attitude. But he's an old man now so you'd think he'd have matured by now. He clearly hasn't and still behaving like a teenage thug. Still plagiarising other musicians songs as well (ripped off other people's work now in about 40 of his songs).
I like. The reaction to AI is golden😂
Anyone else absolutely obsessed with the seamless transition between The Dying of the Light and The Right Stuff?? Or is that just me lol
Studio looks like funeral parlor
Shite patter
Beige.
CS is his BEST album!!!!!
I give it a 6/10 to be honest.
It's his not even in his top 5
Only heard two decent albums: DM & MG.
This feels like an interview made in the 70s (probably because of the very yellow background)
(cough) Noel mixed up DM with WTSMG, it's DM that has the noisy guitar compression.
DBTT is indeed a solid one, it just miss a big song. Lyla wasn't catchy enough to carry it but it was a genuinely good collaborative album for all band members making really good tunes. Liam proved something there that had nothing to do with his Lennon obsession.
Yeah, he is in love with Definitely Maybe but sonically it tires me after a few listens. It is like an AC/DC album in a way. Noisy. Morning Glory has better songs and better dynamics.
@@tt-du6vc You can blame Noel and Owen Morris being on cocaine which impaired their judgement. Be Here Now is similar to DM with the soundwall of the magnitude of loud guitars. Rock'n'Roll is very welcome to sound massive though.
Is that Darren Anderton interviewing noel
It's funny he sees it as a dark record.. Cos it really works it's magic driving on hot balmy sunny day.. Paradox
I must be in the minority, but when I got to see HFB’s I don’t want to hear Oasis, I’m there to hear all of the cracking tunes Noel has been putting out there for pretty much 15 years post Oasis.
On the flip side, if I was ever dragged to one of Liam’s gigs I’d only want to hear him doing Oasis tunes, because let’s be honest, his solo stuff is horrendous 😂
Well done Noel mentioning Ian McCulloch as royalty.....certainly is !
Heathen chemistry is genius. Don’t dumb it down. Head and shoulders above anything out side of DM and WTSMG. I actually think it goes toe to toe with WTSMG.
Class album very underrated
agree. it's a great album with many good songs. Better than sotsog, DBTT, doys
Have had Hindu Times running through my brain all week. Wish one of them would break it out live.
What is the point of NME in 2023?
write about k-pop and video games.
which is what they do :-)))))
Its all about the eyeballs seeing ads these days. So they write about anything.
Ian McCulloch never old out.
Mmmm…. That World Cup song weren’t good
@@neilaspin008 Maybe a little then.
Proper singer.Same as McNabb.
Cant wait for his next acoustic album
He looks happier now he's divorced.
The AI lost tapes album musically is the best album so far this year
Behind the 'fuckin' this and fuckin' that' he is lovely.
I'm only pronouncing it the way Noel does now: Alga-rythm.
Irish legends that Gallagher family 🍀💚🍀💚
Hes sat there with a russian doll model of himself , wtf pmsl
I saw the interview when the lady gave it to him. He acted like it was the coolest thing ever. Cleary, he still likes it. It's been like 15-20 years. 😅
I thought it was Richard Hammond on the biggest one.
Noely G 👌
I'm taking care of the songs to resurrect rock, but I do need to find a Liam.
Do u sing? We need a good frontman? Cheers, Luca.
Los fans de Oasis pidiendo una reunion y Noel: 26:30
I've always listen to albums as albums.
Me personally, I think Aisis is a joke. It's just another lot's music riding off the name of Oasis and Liam Gallagher just 'cause they got the computer power to use so-vits. How about having your own damn identity? The whole concept of Aisis is misleading. Literally the only thing "AI generated Oasis" about it is the singer.
Noel IS right. You can't AI what he does.
Who`s songs has he stole from on this album ?
He lives in a 'house'.A very fine 'house' in the country.
Those chairs make my back ache just looking at them 😂
Noel should just link up with Johnny Marr for a full album and Liam should link up with John Squire
Liam already has. and Johnny's said Noel and him have talked about it quite a bit but their schedules don't align
