Noel Gallagher: Next Oasis album ‘already demoed’

Oasis guitarist says the follow up to ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ is well underway

Noel Gallagher says he has already written and demoed the next Oasis album.

Speaking to Detroit News, Gallagher revealed that preparation for the follow-up to the 2008′s ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ is well under way.

He confirmed: “It’s already done. It’s already written. It’s already demoed.”

However, Gallagher said he was unsure when the album would come out, hinting that he would release a solo album ahead of new Oasis material.

“I’m gonna take a bit of time off after this [the 'Dig Out Your Soul' tour]. I think I might do something for myself, maybe,” he said.

The guitarist also let slip how much he wants to hear Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Chinese Democracy’, despite the negative reviews the album has garnered.

“I’ve not heard it. I’ve read the reviews, and judging from the reviews I know I’m gonna fucking love it,” Gallagher said.

“I love preposterous records, and anything that took 17 years [to make] is obviously fucking ludicrous. I’m dying to hear it. I already know I’m going to like it.”

Tales from the middle of nowhere – Update

14. Dezember 2008

It seems like I’m saying this a lot recently, but – fuck me – there’s nothing going on at the minute. NOTHING.

Played Detroit last night. Got a day off today (in Detroit). It’s a Sunday. Utterly soul-destroyingly dull. So dull in fact that I actually bought something off that ebay last night. A vintage Gibson organ. Very fuckin’ cool. Gotta go and pick it up today at some fella’s house. Thinking on..that should be quite exciting! Going to a real American person’s actual house? Well, there’s fuck-all else to do.

I’m currently watching some of that American Football. The New York Jets-V-The Buffalo Bills, in fact. I like it. I’m one of the few Mancunians who actually understand it. It’s a very simple game made extremely complicated by mathematics. For example, it’s currently 14-3 to the Jets. It’s 14.26 in the 2nd. The Jets have the ball on the 22 and it’s 3rd down and 8. Erm..sorry?

Nothing doing here, kids. Went shopping yesterday. For guitars. Didn’t buy any. I’ve already got all the good ones.

Went for a Chinese. They had a freshly boiled frog on the menu!! Boiled frog? YUMMY!!

We’re in Chicago, by the way (but you knew that anyway).

In a bit.

Nothing to say today. Nothing happened. We’re in Chicago. It’s equally as cold as Minneapolis.

We did catch up with some old friends yesterday though. Them being The Black Crowes. We toured with them in 2002 (I think). They were playing across the street. Good to see Chris. He’s a lord.

That’s it. Fuck all y’all. I’m going back to bed.

Tales from the middle of nowhere – Update

10. Dezember 2008

So..Minneapolis? An arctic wasteland more like. Fuck living here!! Have these people not heard of California? You think it’s cold in England?! It’s colder than Thatcher’s soul (if that’s at all possible).

Stayed in last night. Endlessly flickin’ round on the telly. I found THE most ludicrous programme I think I’ve ever seen. It was on a channel called Spike TV. And the programme was called “Manswers”. Which – if I’m not very much mistaken – is a show that answers the questions American men are asking. “Manswers”. Get it? Ok.

What follows is TRUE. It’s what I saw and I hadn’t been drinking.

1. What’s the most powerful handgun available on the market? (There was a few to choose from and their power was demonstrated by birds with big tits in bikinis firing them in slow motion!! It looked and sounded like a spoof trailer for a Quentin Tarantino movie. Fuckin’ mental yet, strangely compelling!)

2. How can you survive being hit by a car? (Apparently there IS a technique which was demonstrated by a trained stuntman (not in a bikini) and I was told NOT to try it at home!! What? Not even a little practice?)

3. How would big boobs bounce on the moon?!!! (An “expert” actually explained that they (the boobs) would react in the same way as they would if they were underwater! FUCKIN’ LUDICROUS!!)

4. What’s faster – a man or his sperm? (To demonstrate this they had a midget in a white all-in-one Lycra body suit on a running machine. He signified the sperm, I think?)

5. What’s the horniest animal in the jungle? (You simply HAVE to know, don’t you? Thinking on…maybe I’d been spiked with acid).

Fuckin’ ludicrous the lot of it. Gimme Seinfeld any day.

In a bit.

GD.

PS. The Bonobo Chimpanzee is the horniest animal in the jungle (just in case you were wondering).

Denver was cold, man! Fuckin’ freezing. Minus something or other. Left and went to bed in a snowstorm. Woke up somewhere else. 12 hours away.

Think we’re in Minnesota. Bob Dylan country. It’s cold, flat, grey and bleak. No wonder he fucked off to NYC. Even the cattle look miserable.

Just had breakfast at Trumps’ Truck Stop. It was full of fat men in baseball caps in sleeveless t-shirts!! Sleeveless!? It’s fuckin’ freezing!!!

We’re on the way to Minneapolis. I’m expecting endless boredom. It’s a long way from California.

Tales from the middle of nowhere – Update

I fuckin’ love Vegas. I think I may have mentioned this before. Have I? It’s mental. And not good for the soul but I’m glad there’s a place on Earth that exists like that and I get to go there once in a while.

The room they gave me at The Palms was incredible. It had a pool table in it! And a disco shower (that’s right, a shower/discotheque)!

Got taken to what’s called a high-rollers suite to watch the fight between Manny Paquiao and Fighting Oscar de la Hoya and what a fight! Paquiao battered him senseless. De la Hoya quit in the 8th (shithouse!).

Tricky-Ricky-Hatton was in town (‘coz he’s fighting the winner, see?). He popped his little head round the door 5 mins before showtime. Good to see him again. I may have mentioned this once or twice before but he’s a good fuckin’ lad. He cleared out a few Guinness and went out front to watch the gig.

The first person I spot in the gig (out of thousands) is my 4th best friend Russell Brand casually eyeing up people to get pregnant. Sadly for him it’s mainly boys at our gig (although I’m not sure that’d stop him). That dressing room was too small for all them people, it could’ve got dangerous. Good fun though.

Me, Russell, Ricky, Burnin’Natty and various others had a look upstairs at the Bunny-Club (did I mention that The Palms is somehow affiliated to Playboy?). Poor Russell, he didn’t know where to start. He was like a dog in a cake shop.

There’s too much to tell really. Ricky turned up in a wheelchair, the DJ played some hip-hop bootleg of ‘Wonderwall’, all manner of shit was going on. I slung it before sunrise (a wise move!).

I’m at this moment back on the bus. Underneath the big sky. In the middle of nowhere. On the way to Denver. Mountains out of every window. Glorious. No wonder they all believe in God out here.

Anyway, my head hurts. I need breakfast.

In a bit.

Morrissey joins Noel Gallagher backstage at Oasis gig

“I love meeting my heroes,” declares guitarist in LA

Morrissey turned up to watch Oasis play in Los Angeles, despite Noel Gallagher doubting one of his concerts would be the singer’s “natural environment”.

Posting on his blog at Oasisinet.com before the show at the Staples Centre (December 4) in the west coast city, Gallagher said he’d seen the ex-Smiths frontman’s name on the guestlist but was sceptical he would show.

“They reckon Morrissey’s on the guestlist tonight! Really? I’ll believe it when I see him,” he wrote. “An Oasis concert doesn’t sound like the natural environment where one would see a Morrissey.”

However, Gallagher was forced to eat his words when the singer not only showed-up, but joined the band after the gig.

“Well, well, well. He turned up!” declared the guitarist after the show. “Morrissey was actually in our actual dressing room. Being very funny. He asked me did I have any ‘new moves’!! Genius.”

Gallagher added that Morrissey was not the only hero of his to attend the show.

“[Sex Pistols'] Steve Jones was there,” he said. “A proper dude. Can’t tell you what a buzz it is to have two of the people who are absolutely responsible for you making music in the room. I love meeting my heroes. They’re all top, top geezers.”

Well, well, well. He turned up! Morrissey was actually in our actual dressing room. Being very funny. He asked me did I have any “new moves”!! Genius.

Steve Jones (the Sex Pistol)  was there. A proper dude. Can’t tell you what a buzz it is to have 2 of the people who are absolutely responsible for you making music in the room. I love meeting my heroes. They’re all top, top geezers.

Gig was good. Went to the after show to see a few cats who come over from England. Didn’t hit it hard though. Got my boy in town. Not fair dad rolling in at dawn stinking the gaff out. Got another 2 weeks of that.

Which brings me to tonight. Back in Vegas. At The Palms. Very 70s. Ricky Hatton’s in town (again!) as is Russell Brand and the elusive Matt Morgan. Gonna watch the Oscar de la Hoya fight and then rip it up (so to speak). Could and should get messy.

We were up in northern California yesterday. Oakland. The scenery from the airplane window on the way up was stunning – stunning, I tells ya!

Back on the road with Ryan Adams. Good to see him again.

Gig weren’t all that. Had a few “technical problems” which pretty much amounts to cunts not doing their cunting jobs properly. I won’t go into detail – I’ll be here all morning. Mind you, someone in the front row fainted half way through. It’s a strange sight when someone gets oxygen and then stretchered out while the band plays on!

Back in LA (AGAIN!!) today. Actually gonna get to do a gig here tonight. Seems like we’ve been here for weeks without doing anything.

They reckon Morrissey’s on the guest list tonight! Really? I’ll believe it when I see him. An Oasis concert doesn’t sound like the natural environment where one would see a Morrissey.

Beautiful day though. I’m off for a walk with my girl and my boy.

Noel Gallagher: “Damon Albarn is a great artist”

Oasis star brands their feud ‘pathetic’

Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has called his former rival Damon Albarn a “great artist”.

The star, embroiled in a bitter war of words with the Blur frontman during the 1990s, has finally laid their feud to rest in an interview with The Guardian, branding it “pathetic”.

Of the feud, which centred on the chart battle between their rival singles ‘Roll With It’ and ‘Country House’, Gallagher said: “Looking back now that fight’s all so pathetic over two really quite shit pop songs. He’s a great artist. He’s different from me. I’m not an artist – for me, it just comes out. He does Chinese operas and that kind of thing, he’s got more strings to his bow than I’ll ever have.”

However, asked whether the pair got on, he admitted: “There’s always been something between me and him, and I don’t know what it is.”
