Noel has been on a streak of good long-form interviews lately. Really happy to see him reliving the earlier days in a nostalgic approach with a bit of humor.
The That Pedal Show with Noel was absolutely fantastic. That moment when he played Cigarettes and Alcohol on that amp setup and it was literally the exact sound from the album...
Fair play Gibson for not making this interview an exercise in product placement. Sometimes these interviews centre around the brand whos hosting the interview but this is a gem that will be endlessly rewatchable.
I agree. Oasis was fine but the band he had after them that had "birds" in the title (?,) was brilliant. Sorry Im horrible with names..I still listen to it when I run onto it.
Almost 30 years of following this band as a diehard fan. I’ve seen every major documentary and thought I’ve seen all the major interviews, but this absolutely topped them all. I’ve never seen him so calm, relaxed, and still so detailed in his recollections for an hour straight. It’s like maybe the interviewer being with Gibson put him in a naturally peaceful state and he was just there to open up. Amazing job, Gibson!
It’s crazy never seen them not into them but love hearing talk . I play nerd guitar . His fans probably hate my kind of music . But he was on a TH-cam channel about guitar pedals. He was great to hear. Then watched doc . Now this is unreal beautiful
i could listen to Noel all day - i was 18 in 1994 when they released Definitely Maybe. Being that age in the 90's in the U.K was magical. Oasis were everything to me back then. I still listen to their first three albums regularly. Live Forever
I was 34 and a father of two little girls at the time, and even I thought 💭 it was the best years of my life, too. I was brought up on punk, the Beatles, Queen, Genesis, Bowie, Who, Moody Blues, and then a big scoop of bands in the 90s and noughties. I don’t think we’ve had it as good ever since. One of my kids is much more into music than the other and she plunders the back catalogues. Her tastes are more 60s & 70s than anything else. Nowt as queer as folk. Thank you, Noel and Liam.
1976 baby here, too, 🤟🏼 and remember vividly when Definitely Maybe came out. Still listen to their first 4 albums frequently. They’ll never leave my music catalogue.
@@stevie46 yes Stevie it's not until you here the songs and are transported right back in your mind. Where has all the years gone. I am 46 now. Holy shit.👍
He's literally the reason my entire life is as it is now. Picked up a guitar and pretended to be Noel every morning as a teenager. Left school, into music college, into bands for 20 years and now I'm a professional musician that has paid his house off (and secured my child's inheritance) by strumming Noel's songs, for the most part. I'd love to thank him one day, but I bet he's heard that tale a million times.
He had the opposite effect on me.I was in a Manc band (but more U2 ish,than baggy) at the time,been going for five years,played The Boardwalk loads,etc…and when they came outta nowhere and got signed,we kinda just gave up…think we realised we were not ‘it’ although we were all great musicians,it’s all about the timing/haircuts…it pained me much to watch Oasis in those days,seen most of their ‘biggies’ Maine Rd,Glastonbury etc,I knew what I was looking at though,fair do’s innit.
@@sebg2086 it’s called bittersweet arkid,if you weren’t in a band in Manchester at the time,you wouldn’t understand.We used to rehearse in the next rehearsal room to The Smiths when I was 13,I was ambivalent to them as we were a neo punk band…but I’ll never forget the lightning speed that Oasis bust out into the mainstream from nowhere,in fact the singer in our band had a mate who was related to bonehead,and I can remember him bringing home the original Rain demo,and thinking,that’s us fooked then ! Zeitgeist and then some.(that mate of our singers,ended up with the piano off the Deffo Maybe cover,not sure he still has it though…)
That’s just brilliant to read. Well done, you. You may have noticed Noel’s “Easy Now” includes the lyric “Your destination comes without a fare”. I think the song, as most of his are, is substantially autobiographical, and is to children, his children. Having had a really tough upbringing, one of the strongest motivations is absolutely to take care of your own children. I have always been exactly the same.
@@bungle3912 That's an easy one. Every single one of the Beatles gave way better interviews. I really like Noel and his music, but to genuinely call him the greatest anything is just exaggerating.
@@ReallyRyan. Don’t be ridiculous. None of the Beatles were as good as Noel. Lennon wasn’t as funny as Noel, George was pretty boring, as was Ringo, McCartney was a bit bland. Look at the amount of interviews Noel’s done - they’re all brilliant. Watch any of his videos online and he’s always on form. John Lennon was often rude and aggressive or babbling nonsense.
In the culture of British rock music, nobody does a better interview than Noel. There are some fantastic Beatles snippets and “best of Lennon” interviews… I’m a massive Bowie fan but even his interviews aren’t honest. Noel says it like a man with nothing to lose, and that’s because you can’t take away what he’s achieved… many call it arrogant, I just like that he still doesn’t give a fuck
Only 27 minutes into this so far, but I’m convinced this must be the greatest thing that’s ever been on YT. This interview and the recent episode where NG was the guest on That Pedal Show are a goldmine for fans of Noel and his former group.
I agree. I didn’t think this could be as good as the one he did for that Pedal Show, but it was great. He is a great interviewer storyteller; and while the TPS one was more about his guitars, this was about his creative process which was equally intersting. I’ve really grown to respect him and Oasis. It shows if you really have a passion for something you can make it a career.
You hit the nail on the head mate started playing guitar a year ago and thought I'll just learn a couple of oasis songs when played properly they are tough as hell. He's a lot better than he makes out he's a genius ❤
Also rock/metal head (also played guitar live for 35 years) and as I grow older I’m still not necessarily an Oasis fan but I appreciate their music more now but like Noel’s solo stuff and love his enthusiasm for music and guitars(especially guitars) don’t judge just enjoy ,you always have the choice to turn it off.
This was amazing, Noel is such a great interviewee, full of charm, wit and great anecdotes and still an incredible songwriter, his latest album "Council Skies" is a masterpiece 😄
@@mekonium7843there are people asking him questions off camera to guide his dialogue. So I agree with the OP that it’s an interview. Although why are you picking on this? Trolling much?! 🙄🙄🙄
As he gets older, Noel's interviews are increasingly open and warmer. He's relaxed here, and more reflective about everything. There's more self-deprecation , along with the usual humour too. I hope he's around as an artist for a few more decades at least, cause his music can really move you. He's blessed , and doesn't take his craft for granted.
He is by far the very best raconteur of his generation, I could listen to him all day, most of the stories I've heard before but I'm just happy to listen to him again. He did a few radio shows with Matt Morgan , they are hilarious, he's got a good sense of humour , I think it was 90 minutes of noel just chuckling with his mate. Noel got me through my Mom and Dad passing away, he will never know that his stories of meeting Robert De Niro or Jerry Seinfeld kept me from going over the edge and joining them , I'd love to thank him but it would just sound a bit odd to him. Those people that don't like him just don't get him , he isn't what they think he is. As you say the older he gets and the more interviews he does where its just about him and not oasis the more he has relaxed.
I first saw Oasis in The Tivoli in Buckley , North Wales in the early 90's. My mates were Bouncers and used to get in for free. Just thought it'd be a normal boring night but they blew my mind..! I have been a massive fan ever since.! What a time to be alive...!!
Noel is a f’ing legend! Cracks me up and I could listen to his stories for hours. Dude is just as genuine and rock n’ roll as there is. Tells his story straight up and “here I am” as they come. Thank you Gibson, this was an awesome episode!!
Noel taught me it's possible to be someone... Im a poor from a council estate, destined for the dole. Noel and his music made me believe it was possible... "Dont ever stand aside dont ever be denied!"
I hope he realises just how much the songs he wrote meant to people like me. He has created the soundtrack to my life and although it means very little to others it means everything to me. I recently saw him live in Brighton and whilst listening, nothing else in the world mattered. Thank you Noel for everything you’ve given to music and everything you’ve given to me. Your music truly saved my life! Thank you!
Haha, he definitely realizes, no doubt about it, can't understand how he got famous, not even average compositions but he's a great guy and very interesting
@@kippsguitar6539It's completely normal to be jealous of someone your age who succeeded with their music, but your songs are fucking terrible man. Maybe your compositions are just "too complex" for people lol
Noel is truly my favorite songwriter of all time. He has an uncanny ability to not only write the best songs but the ones I need to hear to keep my chin up. Thanks Chief!
Such a humble guy. In 1997 I was in a music equipment store in birmingham and walked into a demo room by mistake. I said sorry to a guy who sat at a mixing console in front of me and in the corner of my vision was noel, he sat on a amp arched over a white electric guitar with price tags handing off it. I turned to noel and said, sorry, I didnt know there was someone in here. Noel said, its ok come in. I said oh I dont want to disturb you, and i turned round to walk out. I heard noel say, do us a favour pal, close the door behind ya, nice one. I remember him smiling as he spoke, and that he appeared to be really small. Nice guy.
One of the best interviews by Noel. Details of the past we never heard before supported by a crystal clear retrospective of the events made by him in his 50s. We couldn't ask for more. Definiterly he's telling everyone that OASIS is the thing that should stay in that spot, no reunions, no comebacks. Leave it where it is and enjoy the recorded legacy.
i am only 20 mins in and Noel has yet again proven himself to be the best interview in rock for the 30th year in a row. "not gettin no fit birds, mate" What an absolute beauty
What a guy he is. Entertaining bloke - sure of himself, but there is a humbleness to him also. Amazing, tremendous songwriter(still is) and a little bit of a riffmeister, too. I think the world is coming around to realize the genius and timelessness in the songs Oasis made, absolute evergreens, and Noel is now - as the title says - an icon.
His songs are typical of the bilge they came out of Manchester at this time, absolutely dreadful, but I could watch his interviews all day, hilarious and honest bloke
I can’t believe people actually say he’s overrated. He definitely deserves his accolades and a lot of respect. He got me back info music for the first time ever at school and it was a big turning point in my life
Steve Jones and Johnny Marr are some pretty amazing influences. The Smiths were brilliant. Great interview... I love listening to Noel. The story about not understanding active pickups, never playing the guitar standing up, etc... I also love how he is humble in his story telling.
This man is the greatest songwriter of my lifetime. He wrote songs that are part of the soundtrack of my life. As usual, another amazing interview by the chief.
What a magnificent storyteller. Absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing this with us Noel. What a life you’ve had and the impact you’ve made on me and millions of people around the world. To hear you talk about Music Ground in Doncaster. I used to live there and I knew that shop so well, brought back some amazing memories.
I'm not a massive fan of Noel's solo stuff, nor was I a massive fan of Oasis either. But I could literally sit and listen to Noel talk about *any subject* all day, and the only way that would get better is if Liam was in the conversation also. Both of those lads are so utterly engaging you could sit in the pub with them, order up a couple of pints and say "Go", and just let them talk at you until closing time and not get bored. Noel knows his place in British music history, both his and Oasis are guaranteed. And quite rightly. He's right, nobody will ever do again what Oasis did. No band will ever grab the times, make them their own and drag the whole country along with them the way Oasis did it. They united us all in rooting for them, and cheering them on. They were the working class finally getting to win at the game.
Agree with you about Noel. But his brother just boils my piss, he is such an obnoxious asshole. NG says things with a wink and a nod, LG not so much... 😊
Indeed, this couldn’t happen again, because attention is permanently comminuted by mobile devices. The revolution will not be televised because few people watch TV any more. Instead, the revolution will be on social media platforms.
What a captivating and fantastically honest interview about how they got off the ground and the journey that followed. Noel seems so comfortable in his own skin and giving his honest experiences, opinions and cutting wit. Noel is without a doubt one of the finest songwriters to ever live. Absolutely loved it.
The number of human beings who live on the frequency of truth can probably be counted on one hand but this gentleman is definitely one of them -- always a great, great pleasure to listen to his take on things and this is one of the best interviews out there -- *thank* *you* 💜
Noel always seems to have some amazing stories that you've never heard before. The Johnny Marr one is like something from a movie! No wonder he is a great songwriter.
Man that was a GREAT interview. Freaking legend right there. I'm not even the biggest Oasis fan but the nuggets of wisdom dropped in this interview right up till the last sentence are gold!! Noel's the real deal
Just wanna thank Gibson and this guy who changed my life when ive heard "Supersonic" on the radio almost 30 years ago. Never seen Noel speaking so candidly and in a place of affection about his story. He just released his best solo record and he is full of great stories and memories - i'll be lying if i said this isnt something i would like to see, but really not for me or for the fans, but Noel itself deserves, he owns the crown, he should travel the world once more with Oasis, just to pack up stadiums and truly see the height of his legacy. He is the one who made it all, he did it and still keeps doing it, so he deserves this victory lap, there you go, Thankyou Noel.
I've yet to see a reunion that didn't piss all over a bands legacy, I really hope they don't reunite and become as lame as the stone Roses and the who did.
“It’s None Of My Business What Other People Think Of Me” Is what I personally get from this interview and I’ll be eternally grateful for that. 👍☘️🎼 good way to be.
The ending about the nashville guitarists is just a complete message in just a few words , basically him saying that things are like they are for a reason ( MAYBEEEEE , maybe what !! ) LIVE FOREVER NOEL GALLAGHER
Absolute amazing interview with my hero and the guy that got me into playing guitar when I was 17,I’m 44 now and like Noel says,I’m still learning to this day,Great work GIBSON TV👍👍👍👍
It’s amazing how Oasis posthumously has become TRULY one of the biggest bands, not just in the UK.. but the World. Noel Gallagher has proven that he is truly one of the great pop songwriters of the last 50 years. Liam is a legendary front man the likes of which we haven’t seen since… Long Live The Mighty Oasis.
Ridiculous, they are not even famous in USA and we're extremely lucky to be successful but I love him as an interviewee, brilliant humour and a cross between self deprecation and narcissism, interesting man
@@kippsguitar6539There's a world outside Magadonia. They conquered the world without having to please Magadonians. You've got your solo stars. We've got our bands.
@@kippsguitar6539where in the States do you live ? maybe not every Oasis song is a mega hit however I dare you to go to any decent bar/club and not hear at least one or two of their songs on any night
It’s not often you get totally surprised in an NG interview. I’ve spent endless hours of my life watching them. But, that early demo ‘Gotta have fun’ is a hidden gem I’ve never heard. Noel is an Icon, a godlike genius. Thank you for this wonderful hour 💛
Was 18 and bought every single for the b-sides. Every 3 singles, you had an albums worth of great songs. 1st gig was Sheffield Arena and was totally hooked. Earls Court, Wembley, Knebworth. What a time to be alive. Greatest memories that will never be beat!
@@aaronshortmusic after listening to some stuff about the influence The Real people had on the early days i often wonder will he ever give them the credit they potentially are deserving of, or would it be too costly.
My respect and interest in this guy’s process and art has risen steadily since loving Oasis in my teens. Noel is perhaps my favourite rock songwriter. Up there with Lennon/McCartney/Harrison definitely. Leaving out the classic Oasis albums, his solo records deserve a proper reappraisal. They all contain a sea of classics that sound different and more reflective compared to Oasis. Keep composing Noel! Looking forward to seeing you in Dublin this Sunday.
The only thing greater than this brilliant interview, was watching him & the HFB from Row1 in Boston w my son last month…. The comments here warm my ❤… his music has saved & moved so many people.. None more than me… Thank you Noel from the bottom of my heart… I’d be lost without your music…
I can't tell you how much this man means to me musically. I would go to the book store in Texas and listen to Definitely Maybe at a listening station all fucking day long. Then I got tickets to their first U.S. tour in Dallas and it blew me away. After that I learned guitar and learned how to play Talk Tonight. My first song I ever learned all the way through singing and playing. Recorded it on a shitty little tape recorder with one Radio Shack microphone. Saw them on the Moring Glory tour and learned all those songs as well. Met one of my best mates that year and the first song we played together the night we met was Don't Look Back in Anger. Let's just say I've been a fan since the beginning in 1994. I'm 51 now.
Inspiration Noel. When i was lost and lonely, I specifically learnt "Dont look back in anger " as her soul slides away, , and the song helped me through a dark period. When I play it now the audience always listens, so Thank you Noel, Luv NGHFB 🤘✌️🇦🇺
Gibson. What a damn fantastic interview/documentary. Honestly, this is one of the best, if not the best deep talk with Noel I’ve ever seen. Noel is so damn interesting and so comfortable in his own skin. Knows himself well. I love his honesty and thankfulness for the work he has created. We never hear this from American artist; appreciation for one’s work and craft. I love this man’s music. Always have, always will. Finally saw him in LA this past summer. Never will forget it. Especially when Noel walked out into the stage.
Dont think so.The Stones Roses got back together and they split up again a few years after.Too many bad memories that got Oasis split up in the first place.With Gallaghers brothers not speaking for years and both getting success of their own a reform is not happening.
A really top-notch video - Noel's storytelling, the photographs and the editing were all amazing! Honestly, one of the best things I have watched in a while.
Amazing interview! I could listen to Noel for hours, he’s a true storyteller. I hope he’d consider to use his demo as a new single, that would be a banger!
The last sentence about if 'I could play the guitar like that, what I would be doing not is playing the guitar like that' just struck me like a thunder! Exactly that! The difference between a perfect copy and an imperfect new creation. The latter is 100 times better. Thank you Noel! Love love this interview.

He did a few radio shows with Matt Morgan , they are hilarious, he's got a good sense of humour , I think it was 90 minutes of noel just chuckling with his mate.
Noel got me through my Mom and Dad passing away, he will never know that his stories of meeting Robert De Niro or Jerry Seinfeld kept me from going over the edge and joining them , I'd love to thank him but it would just sound a bit odd to him.
Those people that don't like him just don't get him , he isn't what they think he is.
As you say the older he gets and the more interviews he does where its just about him and not oasis the more he has relaxed.
@@steve10I’m much like you in that sense. We both made it though. Hope you’re doing well still, take care
@@SpiritOfMontgomery one day at a time bud , take care 👍
I first saw Oasis in The Tivoli in Buckley , North Wales in the early 90's. My mates were Bouncers and used to get in for free. Just thought it'd be a normal boring night but they blew my mind..! I have been a massive fan ever since.! What a time to be alive...!!
You can tell it’s sinking in for Noel now what he’s achieved and the legend status he holds. He wants to offload his story. Brilliant
Well said, I think hes at peace with it. I wonder if its difficult mentally to get your head round if you're in his shoes.
Noel is a f’ing legend! Cracks me up and I could listen to his stories for hours. Dude is just as genuine and rock n’ roll as there is. Tells his story straight up and “here I am” as they come. Thank you Gibson, this was an awesome episode!!
I fully agree! I was about to say something along these lines, lol.
He's easy to knock as an arrogant prick, but you can't deny his talent. xx
@@mikemccaine4229
Arrogant or simply brutally honest ???
Huge difference!!!
Noel taught me it's possible to be someone... Im a poor from a council estate, destined for the dole. Noel and his music made me believe it was possible... "Dont ever stand aside dont ever be denied!"
Go for it mate
Amazing how his lyrics affected so many people around the world.
This is the way to promote a brand: treat your audience with respect by letting the artist speak.
Noel Gallagher and Oasis got me through an awful time in my life, and for that I will always be grateful. The man’s a genius…🎸🇬🇧❤
I hope he realises just how much the songs he wrote meant to people like me. He has created the soundtrack to my life and although it means very little to others it means everything to me. I recently saw him live in Brighton and whilst listening, nothing else in the world mattered.
Thank you Noel for everything you’ve given to music and everything you’ve given to me. Your music truly saved my life!
Thank you!
Haha, he definitely realizes, no doubt about it, can't understand how he got famous, not even average compositions but he's a great guy and very interesting
I'm from a little village 😂 and as great as thaft😢
@@kippsguitar6539It's completely normal to be jealous of someone your age who succeeded with their music, but your songs are fucking terrible man. Maybe your compositions are just "too complex" for people lol
To me Noel Gallagher has written some of the most memorable, incredible, anthemic songs ever and known around the world. Great interview.
Noel is truly my favorite songwriter of all time. He has an uncanny ability to not only write the best songs but the ones I need to hear to keep my chin up. Thanks Chief!
Such a humble guy. In 1997 I was in a music equipment store in birmingham and walked into a demo room by mistake. I said sorry to a guy who sat at a mixing console in front of me and in the corner of my vision was noel, he sat on a amp arched over a white electric guitar with price tags handing off it. I turned to noel and said, sorry, I didnt know there was someone in here. Noel said, its ok come in. I said oh I dont want to disturb you, and i turned round to walk out. I heard noel say, do us a favour pal, close the door behind ya, nice one. I remember him smiling as he spoke, and that he appeared to be really small. Nice guy.
Good lie ...
@@geoffrey8722😂😂😂😂😂
Then a little German guy came in with a Rickenbacker. His name? Albert Einstein.
Can’t wait for the film
Noel was born to make music, make people laugh and to give fucken' amazing interviews, he's a great storyteller.
Not many people I could listen to for an hour, but this is gold.
I’ve got nothing but respect for Noel…love his evolution over the years.
I'll never get bored of this man's stories.
Remember the one where he sang Tony Blair's praises at the Brits😂.
Every interview with Noel is epic. Amazing songwriter. Council Skies is brilliant from start to finish.
As a writer, he is inspiring to me. Resolute and unwavering to this day. Champion.
he is ineed a good poet
One of the best interviews by Noel. Details of the past we never heard before supported by a crystal clear retrospective of the events made by him in his 50s. We couldn't ask for more. Definiterly he's telling everyone that OASIS is the thing that should stay in that spot, no reunions, no comebacks. Leave it where it is and enjoy the recorded legacy.
Noel is the real deal. One of the last of the greatest. An amazing storyteller as well. You can feel his passion.
i am only 20 mins in and Noel has yet again proven himself to be the best interview in rock for the 30th year in a row. "not gettin no fit birds, mate" What an absolute beauty
i swear i read this comment at the exact same time as noel said it at 18:02
What a guy he is.
Entertaining bloke - sure of himself, but there is a humbleness to him also. Amazing, tremendous songwriter(still is) and a little bit of a riffmeister, too.
I think the world is coming around to realize the genius and timelessness in the songs Oasis made, absolute evergreens, and Noel is now - as the title says - an icon.
His songs are typical of the bilge they came out of Manchester at this time, absolutely dreadful, but I could watch his interviews all day, hilarious and honest bloke
@@kippsguitar6539 ...and here come the curmudgeons.
His first solo album is one of a few albums I’ll listen to start to finish and it’s like the first time. Nothing beats it.
Go to TH-cam and the and he does the whole album..well it's just him all the demos it's very good
I’m only half way through and this is absolutely the best interview he’s ever given.
I can’t believe people actually say he’s overrated.
He definitely deserves his accolades and a lot of respect.
He got me back info music for the first time ever at school and it was a big turning point in my life
He's probably one of the most engaging interviewees around. A master raconteur.
Excellent. This man is one of the greatest story tellers and songwriters of the last 50 years.
Steve Jones and Johnny Marr are some pretty amazing influences. The Smiths were brilliant. Great interview... I love listening to Noel. The story about not understanding active pickups, never playing the guitar standing up, etc... I also love how he is humble in his story telling.
The end is absolute gold: it's about SONGS
He’s the best story teller iv ever heard. I could listen to his stories and his songs for ever l, non stop on repeat….Love him
He really is the man. I can listen to his stories forever. Keep telling em our kid!
He’s the reason I picked up a guitar,now have a TH-cam channel with mainly Noel covers,Long live the Chief
This man is the greatest songwriter of my lifetime. He wrote songs that are part of the soundtrack of my life. As usual, another amazing interview by the chief.
What a magnificent storyteller. Absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing this with us Noel. What a life you’ve had and the impact you’ve made on me and millions of people around the world.
To hear you talk about Music Ground in Doncaster. I used to live there and I knew that shop so well, brought back some amazing memories.
"Your legacy is decided by people who have never met you".
I quite like this more philosophical Noel. Could listen to him talking for hours.
I'm not a massive fan of Noel's solo stuff, nor was I a massive fan of Oasis either. But I could literally sit and listen to Noel talk about *any subject* all day, and the only way that would get better is if Liam was in the conversation also. Both of those lads are so utterly engaging you could sit in the pub with them, order up a couple of pints and say "Go", and just let them talk at you until closing time and not get bored.
Noel knows his place in British music history, both his and Oasis are guaranteed. And quite rightly.
He's right, nobody will ever do again what Oasis did. No band will ever grab the times, make them their own and drag the whole country along with them the way Oasis did it.
They united us all in rooting for them, and cheering them on.
They were the working class finally getting to win at the game.
well said
Agree with you about Noel. But his brother just boils my piss, he is such an obnoxious asshole. NG says things with a wink and a nod, LG not so much... 😊
Indeed, this couldn’t happen again, because attention is permanently comminuted by mobile devices.
The revolution will not be televised because few people watch TV any more.
Instead, the revolution will be on social media platforms.

This is so inspiring for an upcoming artist like myself!! especially the "if youre good at it, you'll make it, thats a fact"
Noel's extraordinary understanding of music is one of the reasons his interviews are generally excellent.
Fantastic interview ! I was in the front pen at Knebworth '96 & Noel & the band were flawless. Thanks Chief for one of the greatest days of my life
Same Pit 2
A pleasure as always to listen to Noel talk honestly about himself and his music which literally impacted on so many of us. Thanks.
Easily and I mean easily! The most honest I've ever seen Noel in an interview. Excellent to listen to, no vitriol just plain speaking. Love it.
What a captivating and fantastically honest interview about how they got off the ground and the journey that followed. Noel seems so comfortable in his own skin and giving his honest experiences, opinions and cutting wit. Noel is without a doubt one of the finest songwriters to ever live. Absolutely loved it.
Don't think his songs are anything at all but agree he's a hilarious interviewee
One of the best interviews from noel i have ever heard. Such a great songwriter, musician and bloke. Keep on rockin noel for all our sakes!
The number of human beings who live on the frequency of truth can probably be counted on one hand but this gentleman is definitely one of them -- always a great, great pleasure to listen to his take on things and this is one of the best interviews out there -- *thank* *you* 💜
What is the frequency of truth?
Noel always seems to have some amazing stories that you've never heard before. The Johnny Marr one is like something from a movie! No wonder he is a great songwriter.
Man that was a GREAT interview. Freaking legend right there. I'm not even the biggest Oasis fan but the nuggets of wisdom dropped in this interview right up till the last sentence are gold!! Noel's the real deal
Noel is so certain about his and Oasis’ place in history, and he’s right.
I love how clearly he understands the legacy he’s left/ is leaving
Just wanna thank Gibson and this guy who changed my life when ive heard "Supersonic" on the radio almost 30 years ago. Never seen Noel speaking so candidly and in a place of affection about his story. He just released his best solo record and he is full of great stories and memories - i'll be lying if i said this isnt something i would like to see, but really not for me or for the fans, but Noel itself deserves, he owns the crown, he should travel the world once more with Oasis, just to pack up stadiums and truly see the height of his legacy. He is the one who made it all, he did it and still keeps doing it, so he deserves this victory lap, there you go, Thankyou Noel.
I've yet to see a reunion that didn't piss all over a bands legacy, I really hope they don't reunite and become as lame as the stone Roses and the who did.
I was gonna say blur but you could argue they were only gone between 03-09 so it isn’t really the same
“It’s None Of My Business What Other People Think Of Me” Is what I personally get from this interview and I’ll be eternally grateful for that.
👍☘️🎼 good way to be.
Noel is a great communicator. He tells his story in a very graphic and personal way.
One of my favorite still active song writers of all time. Very smart and funny bloke, too.
The ending about the nashville guitarists is just a complete message in just a few words , basically him saying that things are like they are for a reason ( MAYBEEEEE , maybe what !! ) LIVE FOREVER NOEL GALLAGHER
I could listen to him speaking for days. The songwriter of my generation. ❤
What a great interview . I'm a singer / songwriter for 44 years . Cheers Noel for the encouragement !
Yes same here! James Bartholomew from Greenwich sir.
Inspired a generation… an actual legend. Noel Gallagher is timeless. Literally gonna live forever
Absolute amazing interview with my hero and the guy that got me into playing guitar when I was 17,I’m 44 now and like Noel says,I’m still learning to this day,Great work GIBSON TV👍👍👍👍
It’s amazing how Oasis posthumously has become TRULY one of the biggest bands, not just in the UK.. but the World. Noel Gallagher has proven that he is truly one of the great pop songwriters of the last 50 years. Liam is a legendary front man the likes of which we haven’t seen since… Long Live The Mighty Oasis.
Ridiculous, they are not even famous in USA and we're extremely lucky to be successful but I love him as an interviewee, brilliant humour and a cross between self deprecation and narcissism, interesting man
@@kippsguitar6539There's a world outside Magadonia. They conquered the world without having to please Magadonians. You've got your solo stars. We've got our bands.
@@kippsguitar6539No one makes it in USA without substantial assistance from Tavistock.
@@kippsguitar6539where in the States do you live ? maybe not every Oasis song is a mega hit however I dare you to go to any decent bar/club and not hear at least one or two of their songs on any night
Posthumously refers to: after death.
What are you talking about?
There will never be a bad word said about this man in my presence.
I ❤❤❤ Be Here Now!!!!No matter what Noel says or thinks about it.
A legend and arguably his back catalogue really is up there , when going back through it he’s hardly wrote a bad track .. a legend truly
It’s not often you get totally surprised in an NG interview. I’ve spent endless hours of my life watching them. But, that early demo ‘Gotta have fun’ is a hidden gem I’ve never heard. Noel is an Icon, a godlike genius. Thank you for this wonderful hour 💛
I am really enjoying this huge emergence of Noel in the community
I could listen to Noel for hours. Great songwriter and musician 👍
Was 18 and bought every single for the b-sides. Every 3 singles, you had an albums worth of great songs. 1st gig was Sheffield Arena and was totally hooked. Earls Court, Wembley, Knebworth. What a time to be alive. Greatest memories that will never be beat!
One of the best videos I’ve seen about Noel and Oasis. Would love to see a ‘collection’ video as well!
So would we!!!
That Pedal Show have a superb 90 min interview with him where he talks at length about various guitars he has used
@@whanna231 Yeah that was good too but I like the life story in this one. I hadn’t heard it told like this before.
@@aaronshortmusic after listening to some stuff about the influence The Real people had on the early days i often wonder will he ever give them the credit they potentially are deserving of, or would it be too costly.
@@whanna231 It would be good to hear both sides of that.
Noel’s interviews are always brilliant and these long form chats are made for his endless supply of insights and opinions. Loved it.
Thanks for this episode as well Gibson. It’s so good to see Noel letting his guard down, hear him speak honestly.
Working class artist of the highest order. He never credits his talent, just his love and dedication to craft. Love Noel.
That demo from when he was a kid would be a hit today.
He should release a modern version of this demo!
This is so so good. The videography, the editing, and of course Noel. The people that made this happen should be very proud.
My respect and interest in this guy’s process and art has risen steadily since loving Oasis in my teens. Noel is perhaps my favourite rock songwriter. Up there with Lennon/McCartney/Harrison definitely.
Leaving out the classic Oasis albums, his solo records deserve a proper reappraisal. They all contain a sea of classics that sound different and more reflective compared to Oasis. Keep composing Noel! Looking forward to seeing you in Dublin this Sunday.
This and That pedal show interviews are Noel at his best .He is the soundtrack of my life ❤ O to be back in the 90s 😎
The only thing greater than this brilliant interview, was watching him & the HFB from Row1 in Boston w my son last month…. The comments here warm my ❤… his music has saved & moved so many people.. None more than me…
Thank you Noel from the bottom of my heart… I’d be lost without your music…
‘There’s free biscuits as well by the way’ 😆 He cracks me up!
😂😂😂 mayo wit coming out 💚👌
I can't tell you how much this man means to me musically. I would go to the book store in Texas and listen to Definitely Maybe at a listening station all fucking day long. Then I got tickets to their first U.S. tour in Dallas and it blew me away. After that I learned guitar and learned how to play Talk Tonight. My first song I ever learned all the way through singing and playing. Recorded it on a shitty little tape recorder with one Radio Shack microphone. Saw them on the Moring Glory tour and learned all those songs as well. Met one of my best mates that year and the first song we played together the night we met was Don't Look Back in Anger. Let's just say I've been a fan since the beginning in 1994. I'm 51 now.
Between the 'The Collection:" and the "Icons:" series, Gibson is doing a great job at dialing up their content creation - Well done!
Inspiration Noel. When i was lost and lonely, I specifically learnt "Dont look back in anger " as her soul slides away, , and the song helped me through a dark period. When I play it now the audience always listens, so Thank you Noel, Luv NGHFB 🤘✌️🇦🇺
Gibson. What a damn fantastic interview/documentary. Honestly, this is one of the best, if not the best deep talk with Noel I’ve ever seen.
Noel is so damn interesting and so comfortable in his own skin. Knows himself well. I love his honesty and thankfulness for the work he has created. We never hear this from American artist; appreciation for one’s work and craft. I love this man’s music. Always have, always will. Finally saw him in LA this past summer. Never will forget it. Especially when Noel walked out into the stage.
The most honest musician interview I've ever heard. Totally unpretentious and totally admirable. Love that the interviewer allowed him to talk too.
I had no idea I could like him even more. What a legend. Thanks so much for making this.
Legendary band with incredible songs. Can’t wait for the reunion. It’s coming stay tuned.
Dont think so.The Stones Roses got back together and they split up again a few years after.Too many bad memories that got Oasis split up in the first place.With Gallaghers brothers not speaking for years and both getting success of their own a reform is not happening.
Oh I think it will definitely come, the money will be too astronomical to turn down for a few dates playing
@@brianmorecombe2726well brother
A really top-notch video - Noel's storytelling, the photographs and the editing were all amazing! Honestly, one of the best things I have watched in a while.
Amazing interview! I could listen to Noel for hours, he’s a true storyteller. I hope he’d consider to use his demo as a new single, that would be a banger!
The last sentence about if 'I could play the guitar like that, what I would be doing not is playing the guitar like that' just struck me like a thunder! Exactly that! The difference between a perfect copy and an imperfect new creation. The latter is 100 times better. Thank you Noel! Love love this interview.
