  • My seasons in my mind.

  • Down.

  • All right, So this first one's the classic.

  • Be careful.

  • They're slippery for on.

  • So you're someone who fully understands the power of youth culture from seeing the outlet.

  • It provided your own rebelliousness to the effect that your music has had on younger fans.

  • When you look at youth culture today, do you say, like, Oh, well, Kanye, is there sex pistols and Nikes Air there, Doc Martens?

  • Or do you have some sort of worry that the kids might be lost?

  • My youngest is either nine or seven, but definitely not a It could be eight.

  • You know, they're talking in their own language.

  • There's a huge, huge records and headlining glass and being things up.

  • They got it all on their own terms by speaking their language.

  • No compromise to it.

  • It all comes from the streets and long may it reign pregnancy, even by the labels on the sources.

  • It's about to start one with a fucking nuclear bomb on it.

  • Yeah, so one of my favorite Noel Gallagher ISMs is the one about you being uninterested in everything besides music, family and football.

  • What's the biggest difference between being a Manchester City fan now, versus when you were growing up?

  • Like, Do you think your kids take for granted that they're now Premiership powerhouse in England?

  • We don't you?

  • A team chooses you, and that's it forever in America.

  • You you guys can't attend to, you know, flip flopping, do everyone.

  • The main difference is we're winning trophies now.

  • We're living in the greatest times out.

  • Are you still into the NFL?

  • I haven't met many Brits there into that variety of Well, I do like it.

  • Once I'd worked out the rules.

  • I just love what in it?

  • Because it looked fantastic on all the players look like space, age and all that, but I didn't know how it works.

  • And then once I worked out that it's I got a minute.

  • You got three goals to get the ball 10 yards.

  • And if you don't do that on the 4th 1 you've got launched off the pitch.

  • What's going on in a minute?

  • Okay, I get this now on em.

  • If I'm ever touring America enjoying the football season, there's nothing better than light there on a Sunday kind of line in a nondescript hotel room in fucking Buffalo hungover.

  • What's in three games of American football?

  • Rally in much potatoes and breakfast.

  • There's nothing.

  • There's nothing better than that pineapple habanero.

  • We're not crossing well necessary genres here.

  • Well, I think that that's up to you to decide.

  • You know what I think we are?

  • Then?

  • You know it's like the idiot.

  • First place the pineapple on a pizza.

  • Well, you heard it here.

  • You heard it here at hot words.

  • It's not right.

  • It's not right.

  • SUNA 2011 Rolling Stone Profile Legendary record producer David Sorry described you as one of the best songwriters of your generation, and I imagine that some they come naturally to you and others.

  • Maybe they take years.

  • What's the longest length of time you've ever had from when you started a song When you finally finished it?

  • This is the place.

  • Took four years from start to finish.

  • No, obviously not in the studio for eight hours a day for four years.

  • I mean, that would be insane.

  • What kind of coming back to it?

  • You get it better, but usually the songs that live longest in the public consciousness of the ones that just fall out of the sky in comedy there's this cliche that a fat comedian is maybe less funny once they lose the weight.

  • Even the premise of that is funny.

  • Is there a rock star corollary to that like?

  • Are there challenges and writing when you've experienced success that maybe you didn't have when you were just a boy in Manchester without a pot to piss in?

  • Well, fame, UN success, they can't hit you pretty hard.

  • For instance, Amy Winehouse never recovered from fame.

  • God bless her, you know, she just wasn't she wasn't equipped to deal with it.

  • When I was right in in the early days of Oasis, I was in the same circumstances as the audience.

  • We haven't made any money.

  • We still wearing the same clothes is the audience.

  • And there's that magic period for maybe a year or six months where you're right in for the people that come into your kicks on.

  • Then they'll become a period where the big checks arrive and you go, right.

  • Well, I'm getting a fucking chimp, okay?

  • I don't have a foot.

  • What?

  • Anyone says I'm getting a top out on I'm getting a fucking car.

  • And guess what?

  • I can't even fucking drive.

  • So then you start to become a slightly removed from your audience, and then you've gotta rethink what you do.

  • Almost.

  • But I think for me personally, I just try to focus on three universal truths of life.

  • Everybody falls in love.

  • Everybody falls out of love.

  • Everybody's had their aren't broken.

  • Everybody loses their hair, so yeah, but there is.

  • There is the magic period.

  • That was the magic period that made Oasis.

  • You know, we were right.

  • I was writing about my life.

  • My life tended to be like 99% of the people that came to the kids lost scallions and know what's in this.

  • My fucking raspberries is there is some apricot in this.

  • I'm telling you, by that you mean a pickle.

  • Yes.

  • Apricot.

  • That's good.

  • So no, only been a Tauron musician for 30 years and in that time made more than your fair share of headlines.

  • So here on this wing, we just want to set the record straight on some curious, fabled Noel Gallagher Internet rumors.

  • Okay.

  • Is there any truth to the rumor that you were sued by Coca Cola and had to pay 1/2 $1,000,000 in damages for allegedly lifting a jingle melody?

  • You say lifting, We say stole?

  • It's like me.

  • Coca Cola Fucking wankers.

  • That tune must have more than that, but yeah.

  • Is it true that you refused to make music for the train spotting soundtrack because you thought it would be a boring movie about people spotting trains?

  • Nobody told me.

  • Heroin fucking I don't know.

  • Why did it not say in the tile?

  • I've never heard of Irvine Welsh.

  • I'm not very intellectual.
