DAS TITELTHEMA: PAUL WELLER & NOEL GALLAGHER – WHAT’S THE STORY…? Sie sind seit Jahren befreundet, gaben aber noch nie ein gemeinsames Interview. Bei unserem Britpop-Gipfeltreffen sprachen Paul Weller und Noel Gallagher jetzt über gute Musik, schlechte Mode und das Licht, das nie ausgeht.

Frankfurt/New York - Noel Gallagher hat sich für das neue Jahr große Ziele gesteckt. Das “Oasis”-Mastermind will das ambitionierteste Album seiner Band aufnehmen, meldete der “NME”. Zwar hatte Gallagher unlängst verkündet, noch “vier großartige Songs” aus den “Don’t Believe The Truth”-Sessions übrig zu haben. Doch die neuen Stücke sollen sich trotzdem anders anhören.

“Die meisten Songs, die ich zuletzt geschrieben habe, waren eher akustische Stücke. Aber für das nächste Album möchte ich, dass wir absolut alles geben, was wir haben. Und das haben wir eben seit ‘Be Here Now’ (1997) nicht mehr getan. Ich möchte ein 100-köpfiges Orchester haben, ich will Chöre und all das”, erklärte er und fügte hinzu: “Seit ‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’ (2000) haben wir nur Bass, Schlagzeug, Gitarre und Gesang eingesetzt, aber nichts Ausgefallenes mehr versucht. Aber ich mag etwas Ausgefallenes! Ich möchte ein verdammt gigantisches Album machen!” [...] (APA/AP)

OASIS’ Noel Gallagher is hoping to pull out all the stops when the band head into the studio to record their seventh studio LP later this year.

According to NME, the guitarist and chief songwriter is thinking big for the follow-up to 2005′s huge-selling sixth LP, Don’t Believe The Truth.

He told the weekly rock magazine: “All the tunes I’ve written recently have been on the kind of acoustic side, you know? But for the next record I really fancy doing a record where we just completely throw the kitchen sink at it.

“We haven’t done that since Be Here Now (the band’s third LP). I’d like to get, like, a 100-piece orchestra and choirs and all that stuff.

“I think since Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants (the band’s fourth LP) we’ve been trying to prove a point of just bass, drums, guitar and vocals – nothing fancy. But I kind of like fancy! I’d like to make an absolutely colossal album.”

And the Burnage rocker already has some songs in mind for the as-yet-untitled release.

Stop The Clocks

“‘Stop The Clocks’ will eventually appear, then there’s another one call ‘I Wanna Live In A Dream In My Record Machine’.

“It’s about buying records, and I said to boys in Kasabian out in Ibiza, it’s kind of like a Champagne Supernova thing.”

Noel also confirmed that just like on the previous release, the rest of the band will also contribute.

“Andy (Bell) and Liam (Gallagher) are writing stuff now, I’m not sure what Andy’s songs are like, but Liam’s are kind of very Beatle-esque.”

Apparently, one of Liam’s tracks has caught Noel’s ear in particular.

“‘Boy With The Blues’ could be as big or small as you want it to be. It could be like a gospel track or something.”

Liam does gospel, now there’s something to look forward to!
