- The Oasis legend & High Flying Bird treats Dan & Mick to some epic sounds and stories!
Welcome to the show! Yes, It finally happened!
Noel Gallagher’s contribution to popular music cannot be understated. The multi platinum selling, endless award winning, mayhem causing, genre defining, monumental rock creating living leg-end has penned the soundtrack to literally millions of lives over the last two decades. For that we salute and thank him.
Today however, he pauses being a global superstar for about 1hr and 50 mins, to sit down and talk guitars, amps and pedals. Noel and his team kindly invited us to his studio in London where we got the chance to see some classic instruments and hear them at full-bore! We’ve never seen Noel open up like this about guitars and tones before, so please grab a beverage of your choosing and enjoy the chat.
Needless to say, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this happen, especially Mick, Noel's tech and Callum in the control room. Big thanks too to our old mucker Simon who made sure we were on point with the visuals. It’s a day we’ll never forget, thank you!

“F**k off… stand back… I’m about to play E minor”
This needs to be a t-shirt
You can find hundreds and thousands of Noel interviews from over the years. But, this one is what I'd consider to be Archival quality. Something that could be watched in 50 years or put in a R&R museum for future generations to understand the place and time. It is an amazing capture.
You're dam right.
@@marcelbr815
Damn
Couldn’t agree more
The absolute authenticity he's talking about what he loves. Deep down he's clearly just a huge guitar and music nerd
Wudda been a double dvd back in the day.
I'm a big fan and I've consumed every scrap of every NG interview ever over the years. I have never seen him so unguarded and shamelessly enthusiastic as he is here. This is really something.
❤❤
He’s completely unguarded on the podcast he does with Matt Morgan. I’ve never heard Noel cry with laughter like he does on there.
He’s been taking back to his roots and everything that made him and oasis.
My thoughts exactly!
I wish we could enjoy this version of Noel more often. Dave Grohl never hid his geek energy and that’s why we fell in love with him.
That red guitar that was a The Who instrument, then a The Smiths instrument and to cap it all, an Oasis instrument is a remarkable artefact.
I mean it's beyond an artifact. It's to me like what the Spitfire is to ww2 dads
@@LolTollhurst Now that’s one that strains the heartstrings.
I think it was early summer 2021 when, out of a clear blue sky, I heard the unmistakable sound of a Merlin engine at a decent throttle. I leapt onto a picnic table and blazed away with a phone camera. Checking the pictures and zooming in, I could see the iconic wingtip shape of a Spitfire.
I then lived in Kent, near where many scratch RAF grass airstrips were based, the closest being Bekesbourne.
Thinking about those courageous young men and where we now are, under covid tyranny, I wept.
@@GT380man I feel ya man...
Cost a few Bob to buy that like.
I find it remarkable Noel's waited a solid thirty years before proper geeking out in front of an audience. He seems so at ease and genuine here.
This was what I enjoyed the most. He is a guitar nerd just like all of us. When he plays cigs and you see Mick see back you can almost see Noel realize it's something special and he gives a little wry smile. Loved all of it.
I'm guessing it might be that he's always been asked about song writing and his band stories. I dont remember him being featured in guitar magazines in the 90s much. I've read his opinions on semi-hollw guitars and how Johnny Marr gave him a Les Paul when he was starting out as part of some general Oasis interview, but he had to be steered away to other topics eventually.
Maybe because he’s literally at home in that setting?
what do you mean? you meab h waited 30 years to got propwr gear?
Thanks for the mention Noel! We actually have this exact set up in the shop currently. It's great to remember those mad days of the 90s when you guys used to come in. Fantastic days
Johnny Roadhouse! No way! Big love people.
Is everything still £50 ? 👀 haha
Just visited a few days ago. There was a guitar previously owned by Bonehead on display
While I was reading your comment the video was exactly at minute 47 when Noel mentioned you. This is really mad
So how are the marshall and the wem connected to each other please?
Noel is 100% right that you always have the best concerts at home.
0:00 Columbia/Champagne Supernova (Gibson ES-355)
14:43 Cigarettes and Alcohol (Gibson Les Paul/Marshall Valvestate + Wem Dominator)
53:39 Morning Glory (Epiphone Riviera/Vox AC50 Head + Marshall 4x12 Cab)
54:46 Morning Glory (S!B Echo Drive)
57:41 Don't Look Back in Anger (Riviera/Vox AC30 Bass)
1:00:43 Noel plays a Strat (sort of...)
1:11:35 Morning Glory (ES-355)
1:46:16 Noel Gallagher outro jam/Mick and Dan tries out the 355
I was crushed when he abandoned the DLBIA solo.
He was playing “Bring it Down” in the last one for a bit
"Stand Back... I'm about to play E Minor" 😂😂😂 This totally did not disappoint. Thankyou so much Noel and thanks Dan & Mick - the wonderful journey continues 🤘🤘🤘
Best quote of the whole show. I love this dude. Never heard him talk before.
@@JerseyMillerDamn, I'm jealous - Noel Gallagher always has amazing interviews! I highly recommend checking out more, he's just so witty and honest.
M&D: PLEEEEAAAASSEE make some TPS merch with that quote!
@@mrc2662 brilliant!
What time was this!?
I don't think I've ever seen Noel so enthusiastic and passionate in an interview before. This was great.
absolutely
I think this is the first time I’ve seen him talk about gear, you can really see he is into it and i love it
He was actually enjoying it a lot ❤
Guitar players… he’s a gear head.
It's beautiful isn't it.
This looks the happiest, most engaged, enthusiastic about an interview in ages. He loves the what he does
I was playing guitar in bands in the late 80s then life took over and I put them away. I got married, had kids and was a working dad. Then I saw Oasis play live Forever on TOTP. The next day I picked up my guitar and realised how much I loved it. I carried on, joined a band, got signed, toured Europe twice. Thank you.
And I’m from a council house in south Manchester
Your story indicates there hope for me yet
THIS!
I worked with lads who were music masters and have never played outside of wedding bands.
I cant string two notes together but have been all around the world playing in bands.
I'm not a musician, im just a lad who jumps around with a bass.
Viva la Salford!
What band?
@@lennonesque mine was/is Rot in Hell
A band you will not have heard of. The band was a Sheffield based band call The Solution.
Noel's enthusiasm during this whole 2 hours is infectious. It wasn't so much of an interview, and more a series of entertaining monologues! He's an engaging storyteller.
Storyteller and therefore a great songwriter!👍
@@benjaminsavage4204 I used to love watching TFI Friday. I've just found that episode again. I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
H hi g😅v😅😅😅u v h h😅 h uh. Hi 1:19:23 uhh hb
Da bjo ibj😅 😅😅😅😅joii
typical brit , no booz no move
Oh my sweet Lord! The episode I’ve been dreaming of for 9 years. Congratulations Dan, Mick and everyone at TPS. This is BIBLICAL!!!
Oh my oh my, could not agree more! :D
Same here, he’s got such a unique approach to gear. Haven’t got far in, but psyched to see that the blues junior is replaced with a valve state?!
Well, Biblical is Biffy actually. -ta dum psss! :-)
I was never an Oasis fan, but it’s nice to know that Noel Gallagher is a guitar geek. And one who also has a great sense of humour.
Bro, do yourself a favor and dig in! You took a chance on this video, take another on any odd collection of Noel videos. I can guarantee beyond anything you will NEVER be disappointed. Absolutely guarantee it
I've noticed something underrated about Noel's technique, he hits the strings softly while the amps are all turned up. It really brings out the juice in the humbuckers and works really well for recordings. Really shows that how you play things matters a lot more than what you are playing.
Best one yet. We all need a friend like Johnny Marr who’ll turn up randomly and gift you vintage gibsons and fenders.
There’s apparently a Nashville tradition where established artists gift a guitar to somebody new in town. Nanci Griffith gifted a guitar to Mary Gauthier when she was new and at a songwriters circle there for the first time. It’s understood that you do the same down the line.
I wonder if Noel has gifted a guitar in the same way (not finished the episode yet).
Ive got a buddy who gave me a 96 strat, an 89 SG, and a twin reverb from the 70’s i don’t know why hes so willing to share such nice gear. But he is a good friend. The only thing he would accept in return is a set of humbuckers I had
@@Ottophil Amazing. What a friend.
johnny marr is the GOAT for that
@@kenjude1 I think Noel did give a Les Paul to the 'Noel' in an oasis tribute band No Way Sis who made it on top of the pops. Maybe he saw himself in the band.
“The note that sounds like a weeping Middle Aged woman peeling an onion” is the absolute best description of anything I have ever heard 😂
he must mean a flat 6 cause he used the tritone himself a lot of times.
I think it's that harmonic in twilight by u2 that kinda just barely skates by because it's a harmonic
Idk what the note is but I know that feeling of being on your way out of the key and into another like you walked up to the wrong door at the market grocery
Possibly a pinched harmonic.
The best and most honest Noel interview I’ve ever seen. And the tones! My god, the tones.
This is one of those rare (if not unique tbf) times in life where your childhood hero actually exceeds (never mind meets) your expectations.
Best episode yet… Noel’s personality surprised me. Genuine combination of humility, humor and rock star…
The pedalboard story - "OK... be like that then, I only fckin' wrote Wonderwall" He was hilarious!
Humility, spare me wonderwall is a overated thing we have to endure .what's good about it?
@@jusp570 Not into Reggae then? 😂
Noel is honestly the best raconteur ever , his stories about meeting other famous people are epic. I think people think he is going to be stand offish , but he is the complete opposite.
@@jusp570 write a song that gets 1/1,000,000th the number of listens
This is without a doubt the ultimate Noel Gallagher interview. I’ve been waiting for this for years. Only 20 mins in and I know its the best
Took me by surprise - such a complete interview and a lovely ride
I’ve never seen Noel like this. I had no idea he was so enthusiastic and passionate about playing and guitar gear. This was brilliant to watch. Such a cool guy.
Oasis, despite their influences, e.g., Stone Roses, Kinks, Beatles, Pistols, T-Rex, etc., actually had their own sound. Nobody really sounded like those early Oasis songs like 'some might say’, Bring it on down, cigarettes and alcohol, etc., they definitely sounded like... well, Oasis. That combination of amps just blended into something that only really Oasis sounded like. Great show.
This has to be the most pure I've ever seen NG. Usually he's just cracking jokes or being very flippant in interviews but it's nice to hear him really discuss a passion we all share
It’s probably quite refreshing for him to speak about gear and the musical process as opposed to people begging him to bring back oasis
absolutely!
Yeah I feel like this is who the Chief is in his element!
When Noel played "Don't look back in anger" i had serious goosebumps, can't even image what must have been like in the room. Congratulations guys
I was singing along haha
@@jeremiahbayani184 What timestamp is it!!
@@chuckyinges 57:42
@@jeremiahbayani184 Damn it was GOOD! Thanks!
I saw him do last part eruption once
Noel seems like such a normal humble guy. He was a great guest to have on your show.
There’s something about seeing someone who isn’t an expert talk confidently about what they love and admit they don’t know it but still fuck around with it… we don’t need to be professors in gear to enjoy it.
Wow - this was an interview/interaction for the 95% of us guitar players that are NOT shredders or even blues solo players. A guy who absolutely loves his guitars and gear and tones he gets while playing open chords. YES!!! What a cool sounding guy. Thank you for doing this.
Agreed! I’ve been playing for nearly 30 years and couldn’t play a solo if my life depended on it. I’m just one of the great many who like to play whole songs rather than parts; strumming chords rather than playing notes.
Noel is the bedroom strummers hero! I play Half The World Away every time I pick up my guitar, lol.
@@JetsonDrums
Watching I can see how small Noel’s hands are so he I assume naturally played open chords but the real key to his genius is the intricate strumming which is incredible
In other words, people who don't really play guitar.
@@philbrook5655yeah . I reckon the other two here are way better guitar players but yet he’s the rock god and they have a podcast about pedals
This is the best interview I’ve seen of Noel and can’t believe nobody has done it before. He’s talking so passionately about his craft and seems genuinely happy.
For us Oasis fans who grew up learning guitar to his songs this is just pure gold.
Thank you so much for doing it. I’ll watch it a million times throughout my life.
I thought exactly the same, so passionate.
You're fucking right. Such a gem for us all.
Yes a great interview Noel Gallagher is such an uncut gem isn't he? Pity about all the brown nosing going on though. That guy with the beard looked like he'd just come back from Tanzania
yes i can definitely see myself revisiting this a few times when i’ve forgotten it exists and find it again
Micks reaction when noel played "that" Dont look back in anger chord was proceless. Nearly 30 years of playing the wrong chord solved in an instant.
I thought his expression looked more like, "Yes, I've been playing it right!"
That chord is probably the single most important thing to come from this video!
And for those that don't know what this is about, it's at 58:27
So what it is?
I have it as this
4X0400 or 4X0404
@@GlennJimenez That's it! It's one of those chords that people will endlessly discuss the name of, but E7/G# comes pretty close.
Of all the interviews Noel has given this is the most interesting and entertaining a true legend in his own life time
You lived it!!! Good on
This is the best and most candid I’ve seen Noel in a long time. Incredible work chaps.
Excellent conversation with Noel. The boys are becoming masters of the guitar interview. 🎸
I agree. I’m like only half way through this video and never laughed so hard and enjoyed the history of the band. If this vid doesn’t get over a million views it would be shocking. One of their best, and one of Noel’s as well. P.S. Johnny if you are reading this, can I have a guitar too?
A lot of his recent interviews are candid.
Actually, I think they've always been.
@@endezeichengrimm most of the time yes. But this is the “most” open and candid I’ve seen him in a while (although this group of interviews he seems very willing to open up) Also can’t remember an interview with him lasting this long.
@@stevenoasis1 That's this channel. They post the longest videos ever.
This is the first video of pedal show I actually watched all the way through.
I couldn’t click on this fast enough.
Immediate.
Video quality of this is on another level.
Typical guitarist. No timing.....
for real….
Quite fascination interview. Thanks Dan & Mick for bringing this to us.
1:02:08 Noel describes my favorite feeling in the world. The complex harmonics of Em ringing through a cranked amp is timeless.
I’ve never watched a 1hr 50min UA-cam vid until now
This is absolutely epic, through and through. The interview by the TPS crew is just sublimely detailed and fun… thanks for the shoutout Noel, me and the team massively appreciate it.
I mean I think if Noel gave me a shout out, I don't think I'd get any work done for weeks!
A worthy recipient. Delighted for ya Adrian 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Finally! I’m glad Noel was up for this. These are the kinda musicians I want to learn about - proper songwriters!
yep, so true
All about the song!
Learnt the guitar watching Oasis - ‘Live By The Sea’ & ‘There & Then’ on VHS video .. absolutely knackered them pausing on Noels hands .. Love this
He's absolutely the reason I picked up a guitar.
Mick's reaction to that chord from DLBIA was that of a man realizing he's been right all these years.
Vindication!
This was an absolute pleasure to watch and listen to, Noel came off as charming, personable, insightful. That's the TPS effect at work. You blokes are legends. Thank you!
I just realized that Noel and David Lynch have the same philosophy *and* favorite metaphor with regards to creating art.
Fishing. Catching fish. Absolutely brilliant.
The chief!!!!
Is there a video of Mick talking about this chord Before? How many years we talking
Apart from beeing the best interview of him I've ever seen, it is a huge lesson in songwriting, music and life in general. Thanks guys for making this a milestone of inspiration for me. Cheers from Germany, Julien
Absolutely the best Noel interview I've seen. He looks very at ease and in his element.
@@txplf23 Also not machismo and ego all over the place. he's always been very down to earth when it's a one on one interview. Then whole " Im the best ever " stuff was - by his own admission - a joke and usually when he had an audience to play up to. He once said ' the whole ego thing is just tongue in cheek cause you don't know how long your career will last so i'm just having fun with it. " or something like that.
Beeing? Lol.
@@mattmorris2867 hes from Germany you pr!ck. how about you leave a comment in German
i am one of those idiots that stopped playing for about 15 years . started in 84 but just getting back into it and this video has really helped fire me up. nice one bruvaa
I have to say this is the best ever interview I’ve seen with Noel Gallagher. His knowledge and passion for music drips throughout. Been a fan since the start of his journey and was fortunate to see Oasis live in ‘97. People around me loved Liam but I always said Noel was a total geezer. Couldn’t take my eyes off him throughout the gig and the playing was next level. His originality and songwriting is why I’m still a fan after nearly 30 years. He’s THE MAN!!!🎸🔥👍🏻
Just got tickets to see him in Wythenshawe. Taking my 16 year old daughter along. She’s buzzing. And I can point to Noel and say “Now that is a Songwriting Genius Right f!?;)ing there 😂👍🏻
The guitars of Johnny Marr narrated by Noel Gallagher. Kudos to the lads for not interrupting while Noel is rolling.
Noel is like the chuck berry of the 90s. So many killer riffs that kids will be playing for many more years to come.
He is a riff master
I’ve never thought of him as a riff master. He’s more of the master of open chord songwriting master.
bullshit, he's nothing like chuck berry and not even close in terms of playing ability, berry wrote a lot more songs than noel has as well, he was prolific.
He's the melody master
When you see the
“Foul Language “ disclaimer at the start and Noel Gallagher being interviewed you know we are in for a treat and awesome session !!!☝️🤔😳👊
This is one of the best interviews with Noel I've ever seen. Usually when a record comes out you can eventually recite what he'll say on various radio shows, chat shows etc but this really digs in to his total love for music and guitars as well as what makes him tick now. Brilliant stuff.
Best interview with a musician I’ve seen on UA-cam. Getting to know the stories, amps, pedals and guitars behind the songs, and Noel playing them off the bat, gave me goosebumps
Ace ave,7
?
There are great interviews out there, it's probably because you are a fan. If it wasn't for this, the Johnny Marr interview probably wouldn't have happened. I like it even more than this one. I'll probably watch that one more because I'm a bigger fan of his. But I love both.
As a 41 year old who's been an avid Oasis fan since 95, and a guitar player starting in 94, this was one of the most compelling 2 hours I've ever watched. Absolutely incredible, and what a historical bit of content. Could watch this endlessly.
You could be describing me here! I'm also 41, started learning guitar in 94 and Oasis just happened to come along at exactly the right time!
Agreed. Sound of my youth.
Third 41 year old here - same story 😂
Fourth 41 year old here... started playing guitar like 1,5 year ago... huge oasis fan since the 90s
It's awesome to watch someone this good talk so freely about what he loves
Didn’t think i could watch 1hour 50 mins of any interview but watched the whole thing with a smile on my face, what a legend, so honest and down to earth.
This is Noel at his best. Just a geezer who fell in love with guitars and songs. Love him talking of ‘the privilege’ of finding a guitar. We’re all the same.
Ya,nice to see him smile for a change
.I tried that recently after not playing for awhile & nearly broke me fuckin face from eternal misery..play guitar for therapy I guess
The look on Mick's face as Noel's playing 'Don't Look Back' is f** king PRICELESS!!! Awesome video!
That's because he saw the elusive DLBIA chord in the wild. Awesome! 😂
@@markhoskins Timestamp 58:26
I saw his face and instantly went to the comments and saw this comment straight away. Amazing!
@@markhoskins yes this lol
That was probably the highlight!
‘Oasis never had that guitar hero fella’ - says the guitar hero that defined an era, movement and sound :-)
I know. Isn’t it!? Mick here!
I second this.
I thought the same thing!
When he was talking about getting other people in to write the solos now because they're so much better than him all I could think was, yes they're better at their thing but I want Noel's sound and no one but him can do that.
@@linirving6558 absolutely , the live forever solo for instance, simple but so effective and emotive, brilliant
This is one of the best things I’ve watched in ages. I’m not a guitarist, or even a massive fan of oasis but I do love music and hearing about the creative process. Seriously well done and thanks
Noel is so good with even the average interviewer, but this was great seeing the real Noel talk with people he actually likes and respects.
This could have been 18 hours long and I wouldn't have once felt bored. Amazing work all involved!!
I could listen to Noel all day. He is dry, honest, real, funny and a true lover of music and he's great!
And to think there are people who can’t stand him, baffling when the guy is only ever been genuine. Behind the scenes of the band he may be different but he’s only ever cared about the music.
OK, that's the best interview I've ever seen. Noel just opens up and lets all his tonal secrets fly. The looks on Dan and Mick's faces are to not to be missed. I am going to have to watch this repetedly for I don't know how long, and I'm a thrash metal guy by design, but have great reverence for Noel and Oasis. They were the right band with the right sound at the right time in history, and you can tell that Noel realizes that and appreciates it.
I must have watched 90% of Noel’s interviews over the years but this is one of the best and what I’ve been crying out for since forever!! Could listen to this all day! Thank you❤
Man, what a treat. Noels enthusiasm is such a joy to watch...and he's right: playing guitar is heaven on earth! Thank you for making this happen, Mick, Dan you're doing some really brilliant interviews of late.
Absolutely amazing. I knew a guy at University, huge Oasis fan, who somehow got to help with transporting Noels guitars and gear from one studio to another. He cheekily opened a few guitar cases as he was working and found the 355 and couldn't believe his eyes. He said he cried himself to sleep that night.
Can't imagine how magic it would be been to be in the room while you guys were filming, must have been electric! This kinds of things mean so much to people, me included.
Great job guys, thanks for sharing this with us all!
I started learning guitar 9 years ago by watching your videos Andy!! Legend!!
🤣
@Doves Happy tears mate! This stuff means a lot to people ✌️
@@andycrowley you couldn't have said it any better!
@Doves Right? Lolol
This is the most chill and relaxed I've ever seen Noel in an interview. He just seems like a guy to hang with without his usual rock star bravado.
2 hours of Noel completely in his element, nerding out and great stories. Incredible.
Noel is one of the best storytellers.
it’s probably why he is such a great songwriter.
Without doubt , I could listen to Noel talk all day , sometimes if I'm feeling low I will watch one of his interviews, his stories of meeting other celebs are fantastic
Absolute legend. Shaped an entire generation and such an underrated guitarist.
Underrated?
@@DaveTasteusually if you bring up oasis or the gallaghers to music fans, they aren't well received
The legions of bedroom guitarists and self proclaimed axe meastos who slag off Noel, when the reality is his music defined an entire generation, is a bona fida British musical legend and wrote some classic songs and amazing riffs.
Noel Is such a humble musician. He knows he's not the best guitarist In this world but he knows his guitars, amps and peddles like a proper guitar lover.
this is a great interview - noel's always been a raconteur but this is amazing. takes a while for you to warm him up and then it's just golden...the enthusiasm here is infectious
There’s something about Noel sitting in a chair just strumming his guitar that makes perfect sense. You can see it now and over the years when he’s performing solo acoustic tunes on stage. He looks so happy in a way he doesn’t when he’s with the band. You can see the teenage boy in his bedroom room at perfect peace with the world.
the guy on the left, when noel played THAT chord in don't look back in anger at 58:27 and he finally saw what it is. awesome!
Hahaha! Yeah, totally. Guy on the left here.
@@ThatPedalShow what a privilege it must have been! thanks for the awesome interview! i think i've never seen noel so relaxed. was it 4x0400?
Mind blowingly cool interview with one of the greats. I can't say how much I enjoyed this interview and how informative it was. Nice of Noel to share his time with us.
When Noel said, if I'd known the Marshall ValveState was a Metal Amp I never would've bought it, it made me think: How often do we miss an opportunity because our head is swimming against the creative current. I'm trying to embrace the "I don't know, let's try it" approach. Imagine if Noel had never bought that Marshall......
It's incredible to see how joyful he is when he is speaking as a lead guitarist.. What a dude, what a songwriter, what a legend
"We're not here to sound like the record...we're playing a gig!" That was music to my ears! I wish more bands/artists/FoH engineers understood this concept!
True ! I get annoyed when people say " Wow , Band X sounded just like the record ! "
Unfortunately that's what most people want
Thank you very much Noel for sharing all your insights. Indeed very inspirational. I feel honoured having had the chance to listen to this interview. Thanks again.
I just love how humble Noel is about his guitar skills. Even after composing masterpieces.
Got to love how modest and humble Noel is, he knows he’s not a wizard on guitar but he more than compensates for his with his exceptional songwriting ability
It’s not just the songwriting , but the melodies as well. Noel’s hooks stick in your head forever. Supersonic, Live Forever, RockNRoll Star, Some Might Say, Champagne Supernova, etc.
@@timetowakeup6302 ive been spending too much time trying to find out why i like the wonderwall riff so much, maybe its the mysterious suss chords
Yep very modest. Spends the whole interview talking about how brilliant he is 😂
@@jimbobskullduggery1749 He's being interviewed what do you want him to talk about?
@@jimbobskullduggery1749 He’s allowed to.
Unfortunately, I've got the impression that Noel underrates his lead playing and has tendency to play less and less solos in the future. His solos are very melodic and creative. I love them.
I think Noel has simply accepted that he has already achieved everything he wanted, he has stopped practicing solos and that is shown in certain errors that have recently come to light in videos of his concerts, I think that because of his age we should simply be grateful that he's still up to be what he is
This is without doubt the best Noel interview I've seen. No persona BS, great Q's and some absolute gold insights from the man himself.
Thanks to all involved and a special thanks to Noel! Life wouldn't have been the same without your musicianship 🙌😎
In my 4+ decades of life, I genuinely didn’t know this side of Noel existed. Pleasant, friendly… who is this man?? What an interview.
Noel is such a bloke. This was an absolute treat.
Probably one of the best interviews of any musician I have seen recently. Noel in particular can be a tough interview. If he’s not engaged or feels there is no thought in the interview, he can get snarky and abrasive, a bit like John Lydon. Seeing him reminisce and geek out with such enthusiasm is a testament to you guys. Thanks so much for a singularly enjoyable 2 hours.
The best interviews is when the interviewee is open and comfortable. That's the main thing here. He's mostly just talking with very mild steering from the boys
This interview will be one of his greatest ones ! Will probably watch it again. Thank you ❤️
Scrolling through my youtube feed and seeing Noel Gallagher on That Pedal Show!?.... Glad I clicked on it! Instantly drew me in! His stories, sincerity, and humility made for such a great hangout and interview! What a show to have under the belt Dan & Mick, one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Very memorable! 👏
We can think whatever we want about Oasis but it is hard to deny this guys have written a piece of music history. Back in the days, I was madly fan of britpop music with incredible bands such as Supergrass, Pulp, Radiohead, Suede, Elastica... and of course Blur and Oasis. This episode is much more than a perfect interview of Noel, it is like a time machine bringing us back to these golden years of f*****g good music! Thank you Noel and thank you TPS for making it happen! ❤
Micks face is classic. Looks like he has just had every wish come true all at once .watching Noel's s don't look back in anger. This is undoubtedly the best pedal show episode yet. Great jobs guys and many thanks to Noel.
There’s a UA-cam video about Vox history where the guy (obviously a bid fan) interviews Brian May. When Brian demonstrates how he gets the solo sound for Rhapsody by cranking the amp the guys turned to the camera and his face just says “toddling off to Heaven”. There were moments here a bit like that.
Just listening to him talking about guitars and music and songwriting brings me right back to 1990's and how he inspired so many other people to pick up guitar including myself so i say THANK YOU NOEL GALLAGHER for the best days ever ❤❤
I watch both brothers on different podcasts, interviews etc…
It always amazes me how complementary they are of each other regardless of the beef.
Great watch. Thank you.

Tremendous…..The Vox Cavern story at 54 mins…..wow!
Champagne supernova within the "we play out"
@@jj522 thanks - not sure how I missed that! Think it's because I watched the show all the way through then went back to find the clips. Thanks for pointing it out!
"some of the best concerts I ever played were in my bedroom" - thanks for inspiring so many of us to do the same, Noel. I had many a concert in front of the mirror in my middle school / high school days before I got to play on stages, and I would play through What's The Story? Morning Glory for hours up hours. I love the humility of Noel knowing that while he is not the best guitarist, he is an iconic one, and more importantly a great songwriting guitar player who understand melody more than most. I can't agree more with him when he says there are plenty of guys playing flashy stuff with zero substance and no hooks - they will NEVER be remembered. Noel will never be forgotten comparatively...I still can't believe part of his early great sounds was a Marshall Valvestate with only a 12AX7 in it! From the bedroom to the stage indeed.
That was the probably the coolest thing I've ever watched on UA-cam ever!!! Thank you. You need to please do another show with Noel.
One of the best interviews I have seen. So excellent to hear his stories and get real advice on music and his songwriting process.
Best interview he's ever done. He's so at ease here, the Oasis talk is not forced. I would assume this is as close to everyday Noel Gallagher you'll ever get in an interview
Such an underrated guitarist. Even the early albums were choc full of really good guitar parts. I love the fact that he's just a guitar nerd like the rest of us! Who knew????
This interview with Noel is amazing thank you so much guys for making this happen,
This might be one of the best UA-cam videos of 2023. Well done!
That is one the best guitar interviews I’ve ever seen. Pretty much kept on track and hearing those massively familiar sounds through the actual rigs is absolutely ridiculous. Really looks like Noel had fun and it’s pretty obvious this was so much fun for you guys. The looks on your faces when he plays the songs is priceless. Well done, brilliant job!
I’m not the biggest Oasis fan, but the way Noel described Johnny Marr, and how he makes you feel enthusiastic about playing guitar is exactly how Noel in this interview has made me feel about my guitars!
Incredible episode. Cranked the knebworth concert in the car on the way home after watching.
The joy you could see on the guys faces at the end playing through Noel’s rig was just incredible.
this is incredible! listening to Noel talk about music, writing songs, telling stories and playing is the best.
BUT watching Dan & Mick react to Noel’s playing, when they recognize a song, makes me smile every time.
