Noel says he’s not that great – and Paul Weller agrees

Oasis’ Noel Gallagher has said that when compared to guitar greats such as Johnny Marr and Paul Weller he is “average” at playing the instrument.

The star made the comments in an interview with Total Guitar magazine – with Weller adding that he agreed with the statement.

Speaking of his ability, Gallagher said: “It facilitates what I do in Oasis, know what I mean? I’m unfortunate enough that two of my best mates are Johnny Marr of The Smiths and Paul Weller. Those two are virtuosos to me, although neither of them would admit it. On the electric guitar they’re it. So if you’re asking me how do I compare to those two – and I like to compare myself to the greats – I’m average at fucking best.”

Responding to the comments, Weller said, “Bless him, but his playing is rudimentary. But Noel doesn’t pretend to be a guitar god. He’s very good at putting chords together and he’s got a distinctive style in terms of his chord sequences and his rhythm playing. It’s recognisable, I suppose.”

Düsseldorf (RPO) Das Niveau der samstäglichen Ausgabe von „Wetten, dass…?!“ wird Thomas Gottschalk in Düsseldorf am 28. Februar auch so problemlos überbieten, die ersten nun bekannt gewordenen Gäste könnten aber mit großen Titeln für mehr stehen.

Die Sängerin Duffy, die im vergangenen Jahr den großen Hit „Mercy“ feierte, hat bis zur Sendung noch drei große Preisverleihungen vor sich, bei der sie bis zu acht Trophäen gewinnen kann. Die 24-Jährige ist für vier Brit Awards, drei Grammys und einen Echo nominiert.

In Düsseldorf wird Duffy ihre neue Single „Rain On Your Parade“ vorstellen, die auch im Kinofilm „Bride Wars“ mit Kate Hudson zu hören sein wird. Die anderen britischen „Wetten, dass…?!“-Gäste dürfen zwar nicht auf so viele Preise hoffen, brauchen das für ihre hohe Selbsteinschätzung aber ohnehin nicht: Oasis, die Band der streitfreudigen Brüder Noel und Liam Gallagher, kommen dreieinhalb Wochen nach ihrem (hoffentlich) am 4. Februar stattfindenden Konzert noch einmal in die Landeshaupstadt und werden dann ihr Stück „I’m Outta Time“ präsenteren.

Zuletzt waren Gottschalk und das ZDF im November 2006 zu Gast in der Messe. Damals gewannen die Düsseldorfer die Stadtwette, als sie 200 „Müll-Models“ auf den Laufsteg brachten.

Don’t fuck with Noel Gallagher: Bühnen-Angreifer droht hohe Haftstrafe

Im September 2008 griff Daniel Sullivan Noel Gallagher auf der Bühne an und schubste ihn in einen der Monitore. Der Oasis-Gitarrist brach sich dabei mehrere Rippen und die Band musste einige Gigs absagen – im März beginnt der Prozess gegen Sullivan.

Noel Gallagher hat sich mittlerweile von dem Übergriff auf der Bühne im September erholt, für seinen Angreifer, Daniel Sullivan gehen die Probleme aber jetzt erst los. Zuerst lautete die Anklage auf Körperverletzung, jetzt wurde sie auf schwere Körperverletzung erhöht. Damit drohen dem 47-Jährigen bei einer Verurteilung bis zu 14 Jahre Haft.

Sullivan war am 08. September 2008 während eines Auftritts von Oasis beim Virgin-Festival im kanadischen Toronto auf die Bühne gestürmt und hatte Gallagher geschubst. Der Oasis-Gitarrist flog daraufhin in die auf der Bühne aufgestellten Monitore und brach sich mehrere Rippen. Als Folge mussten mehrere Konzerte der Band abgesagt beziehungsweise verschoben werden.

Urgh! My head hurts today. Had a bit of a smash-up last night. Where? But an Irish bar of course. Me and Cool Prophet were the last ones left at it – again! So I got left with the bar bill – which I’ve just found in my pocket. It reads as follows:

29 pints of Guinness
16 pints of Strongbow
6 pints of Jupiler (whatever the fuck that is!)
4 pints of Heineken
3 Gordon’s gin
5 Sauza Tequila
12 Bacardis
11 Vodka Stolis
14 Jameson whiskey
10 Bushmills Malt
16 bottles of Coke
7 bottles of tonic
4 7-Up

…and this is the killer: 1 glass of Port and a packet of Cheese and Onion crisps!!??

All came to a colossal €708.40. Bargain.

In a bit.

Bored of Amsterdam now. Been here 3 days. Far too long for my liking. Still got another show tonight. And a fuckin’ day off here tomorrow. There’s not a great deal to do here at the best of times but it’s particularly grim in the middle of winter.

Glad that Kaka business is over. Somewhat predictably he didn’t fancy it. The fuckin’ newspapers are having a field day with City at the moment. It’s getting boring.

Talking of the papers. Did anyone see that story of Oasis allegedly meeting Tom Cruise in a hotel in Berlin?! Ludicrous. The mind boggles at where these stories come from. Pure nonsense.

Q magazine are with us for a couple of days. At least it’ll alleviate the boredom. I like doing interviews. I find myself having opinions on things I truly couldn’t care less about. I wonder what they’ll ask me about this time? Blur re-forming, I suppose. We’ll find out soon enough.

In a bit.
