Noel Gallagher Working On New Material

















Noel was on the Sports Bar again last night (4 April) and the biggest thing he spoke about was that he plans to write a new song next week.

Other subjects were:

What he has been up to: ate loads of chocolate today, went to see Arsenal v Barcelona on Wednesday as a neutral as “I don’t mind Arsenal”, and as a guest of “some company, I don’t know” and he enjoyed watching the boxing.

Andy Goldstein asked, now you have done the Royal Albert Hall, is that it for gigging at the moment?

Noel: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s it.”

Following Noel’s comment last Sunday that he collects sunglasses, they invited listeners to send in some for Noel!

Football: his thoughts on the forthcoming Manchester derby, “It goes like this, if Rooney plays, they’ll win, if Rooney doesn’t play, we’ll win.”, he was pretty critical of Man U, “It shines a light on what actually you really are without Rooney, which is quite average, innit.” and reckons it is Chelsea’s title to throw away now, was positive and complimentary about Man City, especially Adam Johnson (and nothing negative about Mancini at all!) and that he’s going to go to the City v United, Tottenham and West Ham games.

Carrying out Ricky Hatton’s belt in Las Vegas:

“It was quite nerve wracking, do you know what I mean? I don’t know why, you know... It was the first time I’d been in a ring with our kid and I thought, ‘I might as well just knock him out while I’m here!’” “You go in Ricky’s dressing room and there’s about 30 people in there, who all look like they’re car thieves, from Manchester, and he’s got Oasis on his ghetto blaster and he doesn’t really say much but he kinda runs around and does a bit of shadow boxing and you’re thinking, ‘Is he gonna lamp me here in a minute, or what?’, but he’s kinda focussed and intense but I was out with him the other night, he was down at the Royal Albert Hall gig and he’s kinda, he’s two different people, when you see him before a fight and he’s like, you know, he looks like he’ll rip your head off and the other night he was down at the gig and he was like, wow, born athlete.“

Plans for this week:

Noel: “I probably might try and write a song.”

Is it more difficult to write a song now that you’ve got a nice big house and a stable lifestyle?

Noel: “Yes it is..... Cause I just think, ‘What’s the point?’”

I’ve written a few, do you want help?

Noel: “Anybody can write songs, the trick is writing good ones. It’s a fine line between genius and idiocy, and you’re coming down on the other side...”

Do you want to write a little tune for the Sports Bar?

Noel: “No.”
