So refreshing to hear a celebrity answering every single question with an honest answer. Not one question avoided or skipped over. Always love hearing Noel speak
You are so right. It is such a refreshing change, rather than them saying what they think you want to hear. Or even trying to glamorise their upbringing. Noel tells it like it is. God he must know how good he is, how could he not. He is a true genius, a once in a lifetime gift. I think he must know what an icon he is. When asked he just says, "I don't know where that song came from, it just fell out of the sky". I'm just so glad that I have been lucky enough for him to be around in my lifetime.
@@DrunkJesterSome people believe Noel must have had covert assistance to have written so many massive songs in such a short time, given he’d done nothing but a bit of noodling on a guitar until Oasis. Bowie, on the other hand, was an “overnight success” in 1972 with Ziggy Stardust. What many don’t appreciate is that Bowie had been testing, trying, failing and learning for about 6 years by then. His early stuff is quite good though there’s no hint of rock and roll stardom in The World Of David Bowie. What is there is melody & song structure. Some of my favourites are on that album. Like “When I live my dream”, a just stunning composition and despite his lack of self belief as a singer, there’s the Bowie we love, already with his unique voicing. Numerous stinkers of songs there, too. And note, he and his publisher would already have winnowed out the weakest songs. Many professionals reckon you’ve to write twice as many decent songs as you need in order to have enough. Even Noel said, towards the end of an Oasis recording trial, that he’d written 30 songs that year and they’d used only 5 of them. Therefore there’s agreement that you need a multiple of decent songs. Consider the first two Oasis album and especially the timescale. He’d no formal musical training. He hardly played the guitar early on. Sufficient to create melodies, lyrics basic chord progressions. Yet look at the stunning impact. If it was that easy, it would have been done more often. It’s easy to write bad songs. Even I can do it & did do it. But no more than a couple had enough about them to play to another person. I simply wasn’t any good at it. Noel clearly has a great deal of talent. He’s a superb melody writer, lyricist and structure author. But he went into the studio with all the separate guitar parts.and bass parts. He could play all those instruments well enough to have recorded the entire second album with noone more than Nick Brine (sound engineer at Rockfield Studios, he’s still there!) and producer Owen Morris. How the dickens did NG do that, with such a barren starting point. He adored the Beatles and met three of them. I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt today, after decades of honing his craft. He’s also an excellent singer now, and he wasn’t initially. But I just don’t buy the narrative of working glass lad from Burnage with no musical underpinnings going from a complete unknown to world famous prolific song writer in 3-4 years, without external assistance. Uh oh. Then we’ve the not believable story of playing in Glasgow and being seen by sheer luck by Alan McGee, who offered them a record deal on the spot. That’s not really plausible. They weren’t good enough at the time. There’s no way they’d have gone to Scotland on a whim, as they were all broke. No, once you look at it, there are massive inconsistencies in the origins story. That doesn’t tell us what happened really. But it does tell us that they want you & me to believe it. Why? Why not just give us the truth? I wish I wasn’t suspicious, but I’ve been forced here by the facts. I will say in closing that Dead To The World is his best composition. Not the best / most preferred song by far. But everything about it is superb. Much earlier, he was helped. Why?
@@GT380man realistically if Noel hadn’t written the songs himself, Liam would’ve told everyone long before now. Every now and again musicians do come from nowhere and do amazing things (look at the Beatles), and accusing them of not writing their songs just because you couldn’t do the same stinks of jealousy
Meet him once just walking on his own near Hyde park corner, no pictures no autograph just told him he’s a Fucking legend! He’s said I no kid noded and walked on cool as a cucumber. Fucking legend!
You can hear the sincerity in his voice when talking about his action man, knowing what his dad was like I imagine that sentence holds more weight than we will ever know.
@@lomarsweed6604 like a comfort blanket, he carried the action man around because it was comforting during a stressful childhood, that’s what the OP was getting at. Hope that helps? 👍🏼
"We were the last, we were the greatest. The end." I'm Scottish so I'm obviously a bit pissed right now but that made me very emotional. They were all three. Thanks to Mark and Noel for one of the most rewatchable interviews in music history.
you know when you get stuck and want to move forward, but can't figure it out. that is when I watch some of these old documentaries. I have seen this one a few times, and it just gives me the drive to carry on.
The honesty in this interview is incredible. It’s absolutely incredible to hear the way he’s so indifferent about things and he’s so locked in to everything just being whatever it is. Really amazing.
I totally agree that in the day that Oasis Are The Beatles Of The 1990s. In fact, in my hometown, in 2024, almost everyone is huge Oasis Fan's because we all appreciate Great Music. Times Have Musically Moved On . To most people, music and songwriting evolve with time, yet I'm glad that I live in this era ! Music Is Our Healer
Saw Oasis many times in Ireland but by far the best gig was when Liam pulled out an hour before a gig in The Point Depot and Noel took over vocals. Amazing gig.
@@mccarthy5825 That's the one. I know I'm in the minority but I always thought Noel was a better singer than Liam. If I remember correctly too, that gig with Noel singing was broadcast on 2FM which I'm sure I have somewhere in my house on cassette!!!
Yeah, Noel had the better voice for sure. I remember watching Jools Holland one night with my dad & Noel sang (dunno where Liam even was) & dad just said "Well, if he can sing like that and he writes all the songs then his brother won't be in the band much longer." He was wrong, because that was early days and they stuck it out with Liam as frontman for another couple of albums and more than 5 years but it must've itched for Liam that there was another guy in the band that wrote most of the songs and could step up in a heartbeat to play frontman as needed. I mean, he plays a mean tambourine but you know what i mean (as either Gallagher would put it) 😆
Excellent interview! The transparency of someone who feels good in his own skin. But he's bigger than his image. That's a fact! It's no coincidence that he's one of the best songwriters ever. Tks
Oasis did a warm up tour before their last "big tour". I bought tickets from some dude on ebay for a silly amount of money. It was a small venue in Cardiff. I am from London...in Wales...watching a band from Manchester. I kept my mouth firmly shut. At the end of the gig Liam and the others f**ked off. Noel then played a mini solo set. "im fucked, but am gonna play ya some songs" were his words. Best thing i ever heard...peace to ya.
I wonder do either of them buy each others albums and what would they say they liked or hated, or would that be too much like sending a card at Christmas.
Bear in mind this was 2012. Nearly ten years on since this interview and they still haven’t spoken! Unfortunately I cannot see anything that will bring the two of them back together as brothers.
I'd rather have a brother I'd spent 20 years of global success with and then fall out than have a brother that I see once a week for a Roast Dinner without either of us tasting success, fame and fortune. That's my opinion anyway. If you asked either of the Gallaghers I'm sure they'd both agree that they had 20 years of unbelievable success together and lived the dream together as brothers. Most brothers distance themselves from one another to a certain extent once they are married and have children anyway. They were close and living in each others pockets from Liam's birth until Oasis split, shared a bedroom, shared a love for Man City and music until Noel was 40 years old and Liam 35. What brothers do you know who are joined at the hip on a daily basis until their 40s? I'm surprised they lasted 20 years together considering the arguments, punch ups, alcohol and drugs tbh. Im a Manchester lad, I had 2 mates that were brothers, I tried to break up a fight between them once and ended up with a pint pot in my face. Noel and Liam are just normal Mancunian brothers. They'd have had punch ups and fall outs even if they were never in a band together. They'd have probably fell out and distanced themselves a lot sooner without the band
@@sqwidink1 I've always thought that too if something happens to Peggy finger's crossed she lives a long healthy life though, Liam said god help Noel if they haven't buried the hatchett before anything happens be sad for there mum to take that to the grave
Gotta be one of his best interviews loved his attitude towards the end seems slightly attacked and is being defensive but it’s great coz he’s really bigging up Oasis and everything they did ! Your welcome
Great interview. I wish all interviewers did the research that allows for questions like these. I think this is the most revealing Noel interview I’ve seen. Thanks for upload
Read a quote from Liam or Noel when Oasis were at their peak where they were asked something like: “you’re on the way up and tell all your peers to F***off, do you ever worry that one day you’ll be on the way down and have to face the same people. Their answer: “ We’ll just to them to F*** off again” They stayed true to their word. Especially Liam. 😂😂
Excellent. What a genuinely nice guy an absolute legend I'm so glad for his success with the band and his life in general he deserves all the happiness 😊
Learnt more in this interview than any other I've seen so far , excellent job. Very enjoyable. Love Liams voice but prefer Noels song writing.More please.
Noels songs and Liam's stage presence, attitude and vocals is a rare combination we're never likely to ever see again. Liam would be nobody without Noels songs and Noels songs would never have been heard without Liam's vocals and image. The thing that made them rise to the top eventually tore them apart. Now they're both doing unbelievably well without one another.
Worked hard for what he got ...deserved every bit of CREDIT..CRITICISM.. HEARTACHE,HAPPINESS ..AND POUND SHILLING AND PENCE.. FAR THE BETTER VOICE... AND A GREAT SUCCESS STORY TO GO WITH IT ALL
I went Sheffield to watch NGHFB on there first tour of the uk and he absolutely smashed it but I must admit watching oasis at maine rd will never be beaten not even knebworth
I watched em in Sheffield a bit after after Definitely Maybe came out and Noel played a new song he'd (he said) written that day..i just remembered it as having a line about sally or summat , and that it was amazing ..obviously turned out to be (in my opinion)one of their best songs.
Yeah he’s been writing music for over 30 years pretty much non stop now. Very talented songwriter, as said by Paul McCartney. In the 2016 documentary Supersonic, Noel said that he thought Liam came out of it well but didn’t seem to like it. I actually thought Noel came out of it better because he talks about how much he loved music from a young age. Liam admits he wasn’t even interested in music, until he was hit with a hammer in a fight!
He definitely has written multiple songs about his childhood and his dad. Very obvious, they're just cryptic enough for him to say they are gibberish or people need to work it out for themselves, like many of us have.
that part when he was talking about his dad really broke my heart bc he says he's so over the past and what he went through but you can hear it in his voice and from the look on his face when he talks about him that he's still hurt. all that rapid blinking.. he was getting a bit emotional there but he masks it so well with indifference.. he also does the same indifferent act when he talks about liam and says he doesnt miss him. I think their sick dad really scarred the two brothers for life and is responsible for how their relationship turned out 52:51 idk why he does this but he always tells half truths when talking about that final fight with liam. it was actually noel who smashed liams guitar which liam said had sentimental value so he just retaliated by smashing one of his. when you listen to liam talk you can tell hes more honest and admits that they were both wrong. noel acts like he wasnt toxic to his brother as well
He really plays down the effect of the abuse from his father had/has on him. Its self preservation. He talks of it being "normal", to him it was normal but it was far from normal.
You can hear Noel sincerity throughout this radio 4 interview. He gives you a deeper insight into Manchester Oasis Success. 😂 Noel action-man boyhood was his best friend when he was a boy ending with...I think that he's in rehab now 😂. His talking about him being the middle born child ( the oldest being the first born & youngest being the baby of the family. Being born the middle child and just getting on with it rings true within alot of other families - hits the nail right on its head. A Great Interview.
I like these live interviews away from band gigs. Watching The Aura Coming Through..Gives Us All A Taste Of The Connection Between Professional & Artist Solo, /Band's & Civvy Street. Noel & Liam ' Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag and SMILE !. Liam, Noel - Oasis, We Miss You Man 😊. ...P.s...As a disabled person, I had received some free sound advice. I Recieved A Profile On College Course's The Interior Design Courses are available in Manchester or Liverpool. This to me is a perfect forward thinking mindset..For The Future. Thankyou For Your Sharing Your Personal Life Experience Noel 👍🏼.# Stand By Me Nobody Knows The Way It's Gonna Be .
Fantastic interview. I was never an Oasis fan but Noel was the one guy I did like(he sings better than Liam) and when you listen to him in interviews you can see why. He's a straight shooter with a great sense of humor.
You just don't get music like Don't look back in Anger on radio anymore, even back then I was praying it would be #1 here In Montreal Canada, but it was maybe top 2 to 5 in the end. So good, so simple yet so creative.
That's great! What band are you with? Global tours? Forgive me; I'm old.,....I am sure most folk know your musical success very well but I'm not down with the kids. Or did you mean you relate to his background? You and at least half the UK population. A deep connection indeed. Yeah.........
Still one of the best Noel interviews ever. Mark's from a completely different background and an analyst of distinction, but you could see how genuinely riveted and engrossed he was with the Gallagher back story and a world he'd never experienced like many of us. However I don't agree that the Arctic Monkeys haven't made it just as big as Oasis did... I wonder if Noel sees it differently ten years on now?
People worldwide can hum or sing Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger. Across the pond, most people haven't even heard of the Arctic Monkeys, nevermind know a tune of theirs... Nevermind places where they don't speak English - do you see a clip of the Monkeys playing to 100k Argentines singing along? This reflects their status in the UK, too, I'm sure. Oasis was more than a band (that sold waaaay more records and tickets than Arctic Monkeys), they were a fucking cultural phenomenon and a signifier of identity. This Canadian who wasn't there knows what Oasis meant. So yeah, Oasis > AM and it's not even close. Hell, AM are only the third best Monkey-named band, after Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and, natch, The Monkees.
Strong point there about The Libertines. In the early days they really had something. Still a great band, even today but never lived up to their full potential in my opinion.
In the supersonic documentary he mentions there was only one couple in the King tuts wah club that night when they got signed. Imagine being them people now, madness.
it is true though what he says, its not hard to sing in front of an audience if you know you're good, maybe speech making is another thing though. but even that isnt hard when you know your lines. Don't look back in anger' is his best song by miles. I sung it at a karaoke tourny and won hehe
Now I know that I can relate to Noel's songwriting process. I find the music and Melody a hundred times easier to come up with, rather than the lyrics.
That’s how most people write songs. I’ve seen Bono singing basically gibberish, just to fit around the melody. I think I saw Michael Hutchence do the same. Then work on the actual words later.
Never seen any good parenting till he saw his mrs , well his own mother was obviously good bringing up 3 lads on her own , she deserves credit and he should be proud of her
But he was a child himself and in it when being brought up, I think he sees it as an adult now him seeing someone raise kids Just different, he loves and credits his mam
it is how Noel said.. " No, It wasn't about that.. Everything was the same or no difference for any other kid on the street . A Great Truthful Interview !!!
I don't think it'd really been discussed much, but like his son Gene, Liam almost certainly has ADHD. He exhibits all of the symptoms very very very clearly...shocked this hasn't been more widely scrutinised, or least made people more sympathetic toward some of his more extreme/impulsive traits. What do you think? Not something that was as frequently diagnosed then, but as soon as I heard his son, Gene, had it (Paul Gallagher actually revealed that about his nephew), but it made me jump to Liam - of course, would explain so much about his behaviour, and why it would make him insufferable sometimes to Noel.
Everybody lately with the hate for Noel. I love both brothers. But Liam is the one who likes to play it up for the cameras. Or at least he used to be. This is 11 years ago and Noel very honestly navigated an interview full of some uncomfortable topics by just being himself. He isn't a person filled with spite. He just is as he is.
He raises a good point about learning French being pointless. I’ve only ever gone to that country under duress. Would never choose to. Come to think of it geography and RE were pretty pointless too. And they took of dropping music the food of the soul.
So refreshing to hear a celebrity answering every single question with an honest answer. Not one question avoided or skipped over. Always love hearing Noel speak

Noels songs and Liam's stage presence, attitude and vocals is a rare combination we're never likely to ever see again.
Liam would be nobody without Noels songs and Noels songs would never have been heard without Liam's vocals and image.
The thing that made them rise to the top eventually tore them apart.
Now they're both doing unbelievably well without one another.
Worked hard for what he got ...deserved every bit of CREDIT..CRITICISM..
HEARTACHE,HAPPINESS ..AND POUND SHILLING AND PENCE..
FAR THE BETTER VOICE...
AND A GREAT SUCCESS STORY TO GO WITH IT ALL
That ending is the best thing I’ve ever seen. Respect
Loved it :) Thank you.
I went Sheffield to watch NGHFB on there first tour of the uk and he absolutely smashed it but I must admit watching oasis at maine rd will never be beaten not even knebworth
I watched em in Sheffield a bit after after Definitely Maybe came out and Noel played a new song he'd (he said) written that day..i just remembered it as having a line about sally or summat , and that it was amazing ..obviously turned out to be (in my opinion)one of their best songs.
Time is the ultimate judge of anything and Noel's work is as good now and probably better no better compliment than that
Yeah he’s been writing music for over 30 years pretty much non stop now. Very talented songwriter, as said by Paul McCartney.
In the 2016 documentary Supersonic, Noel said that he thought Liam came out of it well but didn’t seem to like it.
I actually thought Noel came out of it better because he talks about how much he loved music from a young age.
Liam admits he wasn’t even interested in music, until he was hit with a hammer in a fight!
He has a great Irish smile! And no F words.
@@marykelly4074 No F words - I think you might need your ears testing 🙉
Talks so well
He definitely has written multiple songs about his childhood and his dad. Very obvious, they're just cryptic enough for him to say they are gibberish or people need to work it out for themselves, like many of us have.
A Real All Round , Honest Interview
Love them both for different reasons. I really hope they can reconcile 😍
So insightful and fascinating.
Absolute Legend
Absolutely luved this , Noel being authenticly himself ....❤
This is an awesome interview
that part when he was talking about his dad really broke my heart bc he says he's so over the past and what he went through but you can hear it in his voice and from the look on his face when he talks about him that he's still hurt. all that rapid blinking.. he was getting a bit emotional there but he masks it so well with indifference.. he also does the same indifferent act when he talks about liam and says he doesnt miss him.
I think their sick dad really scarred the two brothers for life and is responsible for how their relationship turned out
52:51 idk why he does this but he always tells half truths when talking about that final fight with liam. it was actually noel who smashed liams guitar which liam said had sentimental value so he just retaliated by smashing one of his. when you listen to liam talk you can tell hes more honest and admits that they were both wrong. noel acts like he wasnt toxic to his brother as well
He really plays down the effect of the abuse from his father had/has on him. Its self preservation.
He talks of it being "normal", to him it was normal but it was far from normal.
What a great interview
I love when he looks directly to the camera. It's as if he's talking to us.
You can hear Noel sincerity throughout this radio 4 interview. He gives you a deeper insight into Manchester Oasis Success.
😂 Noel action-man boyhood was his best friend when he was a boy ending with...I think that he's in rehab now 😂. His talking about him being the middle born child ( the oldest being the first born & youngest being the baby of the family. Being born the middle child and just getting on with it rings true within alot of other families - hits the nail right on its head.
A Great Interview.
I need to put that stare and "You're welcome" on a loop.
That man has wit and is fast as f**k!
56:40 “we were the last, we were the greatest…the end”. What a f…ing statement! Simplemente un crack!
I like these live interviews away from band gigs. Watching The Aura Coming Through..Gives Us All A Taste Of The Connection Between Professional & Artist Solo, /Band's & Civvy Street.

Fantastic interview. I was never an Oasis fan but Noel was the one guy I did like(he sings better than Liam) and when you listen to him in interviews you can see why. He's a straight shooter with a great sense of humor.
I have never been an Oasis fan, but I'm a fan of Noel and his solo stuff. He's sk interesting to listen to with honesty and humor.
You just don't get music like Don't look back in Anger on radio anymore, even back then I was praying it would be #1 here In Montreal Canada, but it was maybe top 2 to 5 in the end. So good, so simple yet so creative.
Noel! What a down to earth guy. Very honest. Prefer him to Liam. I can relate to him on many levels.
That's great! What band are you with? Global tours? Forgive me; I'm old.,....I am sure most folk know your musical success very well but I'm not down with the kids.
Or did you mean you relate to his background? You and at least half the UK population. A deep connection indeed. Yeah.........
@@trayc2762
Hi Tracy. I meant his background his feelings his vibe. I'm with him. Thanks for asking. Have a great day.
TrayC sarcasm is the lowest form of Witt
Great interview, thanks for uploading. 🤙🏻
Still one of the best Noel interviews ever. Mark's from a completely different background and an analyst of distinction, but you could see how genuinely riveted and engrossed he was with the Gallagher back story and a world he'd never experienced like many of us. However I don't agree that the Arctic Monkeys haven't made it just as big as Oasis did... I wonder if Noel sees it differently ten years on now?
Not with the arrogance, no!
Just seen ur comment pal n the arctic monkeys are not on the same level as oasis, just my opinion 👍
No way
Arctic monkeys lol
People worldwide can hum or sing Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger. Across the pond, most people haven't even heard of the Arctic Monkeys, nevermind know a tune of theirs... Nevermind places where they don't speak English - do you see a clip of the Monkeys playing to 100k Argentines singing along? This reflects their status in the UK, too, I'm sure.
Oasis was more than a band (that sold waaaay more records and tickets than Arctic Monkeys), they were a fucking cultural phenomenon and a signifier of identity. This Canadian who wasn't there knows what Oasis meant.
So yeah, Oasis > AM and it's not even close. Hell, AM are only the third best Monkey-named band, after Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and, natch, The Monkees.
Strong point there about The Libertines. In the early days they really had something. Still a great band, even today but never lived up to their full potential in my opinion.
He’s quite a witty man
He is brilliantly sarcastic..and that takes intelligence
You’re quite a witty man, mate, if anyone is…
Great interview that Noel. Sorta wore your heart on your sleeve.
In the supersonic documentary he mentions there was only one couple in the King tuts wah club that night when they got signed. Imagine being them people now, madness.
I was one, I mixed them that night…..
Thank god Alan Mcgee was one of them 🙏
Liam never asked what the lyrics were about, because he knew exactly what they were about.
Totally agree
He understands his brother totally.
and how do you know that ,may I ask?Have you inside knowledge?if so,please share. lo
@@curlyhiphop505 duhh! He spoke out about the horrific abuse he suffered as a child, at the hands of his father.
(Now pull ur neck back in mate) !?!
Impossible he didn't write it it would be like noel singing songbird as a rock song wouldn't it ?
Could listen to Noel all day
it is true though what he says, its not hard to sing in front of an audience if you know you're good, maybe speech making is another thing though. but even that isnt hard when you know your lines. Don't look back in anger' is his best song by miles. I sung it at a karaoke tourny and won hehe
56:21 nail on the head. Great interview, but like the stones and the Beatles, they have their own thing that no one will ever get close too
I get what noel is saying about having trouble writing the lyrics, great that he is proud of his work regardless if he never wrote again.
Now I know that I can relate to Noel's songwriting process. I find the music and Melody a hundred times easier to come up with, rather than the lyrics.
That’s how most people write songs. I’ve seen Bono singing basically gibberish, just to fit around the melody. I think I saw Michael Hutchence do the same. Then work on the actual words later.
Never seen any good parenting till he saw his mrs , well his own mother was obviously good bringing up 3 lads on her own , she deserves credit and he should be proud of her
But he was a child himself and in it when being brought up, I think he sees it as an adult now him seeing someone raise kids
Just different, he loves and credits his mam
Noel, respect you so much after watching this 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Such a fabulous interview negligent in school some kids had differents things. of carreer of talent that their love to do.
Lend us a fiver. Lend us a fiver. Lend us a fiver
Noel probably has PTSD from a traumatic childhood but doesn’t know it.
or he just chooses not to cry about it
I doubt it.. if you have ptsd you know about it.. although he maybe traumatised but that's different.
Rubbish it wasn’t that bad ,like he said it was no different to any other kid in the street
it is how Noel said..
" No, It wasn't about that.. Everything was the same or no difference for any other kid on the street .
A Great Truthful Interview !!!
a french metalworker..he's priceless.
Small feet!!
avoids any questions about his childhood in nearly every interview
I don't blame him. Wouldn't you avoid talking about it if you went through that kind of terror?
I miss Mark lawson a lot. And the directness of folk like noel. They were better times...
I don't think it'd really been discussed much, but like his son Gene, Liam almost certainly has ADHD. He exhibits all of the symptoms very very very clearly...shocked this hasn't been more widely scrutinised, or least made people more sympathetic toward some of his more extreme/impulsive traits. What do you think? Not something that was as frequently diagnosed then, but as soon as I heard his son, Gene, had it (Paul Gallagher actually revealed that about his nephew), but it made me jump to Liam - of course, would explain so much about his behaviour, and why it would make him insufferable sometimes to Noel.
I think he has a typical creatives mind and you reach too much. Probably some self reinforcement of some kind of some kind
I think Noel has a lot of ADHD traits. Liam is just a narcissist
@@linirving6558
Well as an educator in the behavioral sciences I can say fairly confidently that you reach too much as well
👁🗨🤔takes me back to the 70's growing up, up North.
This may well be his best interview .
Everybody lately with the hate for Noel. I love both brothers. But Liam is the one who likes to play it up for the cameras. Or at least he used to be. This is 11 years ago and Noel very honestly navigated an interview full of some uncomfortable topics by just being himself. He isn't a person filled with spite. He just is as he is.
GREAT INTERVIEW RESPECT TO NOEL FOR STAYING A TRUE ROCKSTAR, LOVE OASIS-1/28/21 - LANCE ROMANCE 😊
Great interview.
Mark Lawson guided this interview perfectly.
He raises a good point about learning French being pointless. I’ve only ever gone to that country under duress. Would never choose to. Come to think of it geography and RE were pretty pointless too. And they took of dropping music the food of the soul.
