Today is the day!In order to celebrate Noel’s birthday properly, we thought of creating a collection of tenย of our favourite Chief’s witty quotes
directly from the articles we have written inย the past months (you’ll be able to read the whole article if you want to by clicking on the title).
Enjoy the comments of Noel we loved the most about… Anything and anyone.
And happy birthday Noel Gallagher!
1 – Noel Gallagher about Alex Turner: “I’d rather drink petrol than listen to him”
In February Noel talked about the great characters in music industry, stating that there aren’t any proper characters anymore. He then went on talking about Arctic Monkeys’ frontman, Alex Turner: โI would rather drink petrol straight from the nozzle at a garage than listen to an interview with Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys. Wouldnโt you?”
Few days after, he specified: “Alex is a fucking top dude in a fucking top band, and a very attractive man. His interviews, on the other hand, are lacklustre.”
2 – Noel Gallagher about One Direction: “I don’t mind One Direction. Theyโre harmless, arenโt they?”
Liam Payne (member of One Direction) claimed the boyband’s next album is going to be “kind of like a bit Oasis-y almost”. Obviously, Noel commented the news: โHonestly, I cannot wait to listen to what their version of โOasis-yโ means. What if itโs brilliant though? What if itโs amazing? I don’t mind One Direction. Theyโre harmless, arenโt they?โ
3 – Noel Gallagher about Justin Bieber: “My cat is more rock’n’roll than him”
In 2013 Justin Bieber arrived on stage two hours late and then collapsed during a further live date. โIs it rock โnโ roll to be two hours late? It depends on what he was doing in those two hours. Was he snorting coke off prostitutes? Or was he playing bridge? Thatโs not very rockโnโroll, is it? My cat sounds more rock โnโ roll that that,โ Gallagher said. โI just know his name โ Justin. Whatever. I donโt know anything about him. I know people really fucking hate him, donโt they.โ
4 – Noel Gallagher about Courtney Love: “I’ve been hiding from Her Rowdiness“
โI read an interview with her once and she said, โI canโt fucking believe this. I know everyone in London and Iโve never fucking met Noel โ was he hiding from me?โ And the answer is: โYes.’โ he admitted. โI was in a studio in LA and we were in the back recording ‘Donโt Believe The Truth’. And reception called us as said โJust to warn you: Courtney Loveโs just walked in. I knew Liam was running around in reception and I thought, โBrilliant, thatโs a fucking meeting of minds right there.โ I could hear her shouting, โWhereโs Noel? I gotta meet Noel!โ So I grabbed a cig, exited out the back door and went straight back to the motel and locked the door. I was like, โI canโt be dealing with her rowdiness โ f**king hell, no way.โ But I applaud her.โ
5 – Noel Gallagher about Richard Ashcroft: “I should make a record with him”
โI havenโt seen Richard for ages, but whatever heโs doing I hope heโs making a record. I donโt know anyone whoโs got his phone number. The one he gave me he never answers. He lives in a big stately home and I imagine heโs just stoned thinking โWhat is that fucking noise?โ. That โUnited Nations Of Soundโ record was a fucking great record. I should make a record with him.โ
6 – Noel Gallagher about Ed Sheeran: “I cannot live in a world where Ed Sheeran sells out Wembley”
The feud between Noel Gallagher and Ed Sheeran went on for a few days, but has been one of the most entertaining.
Everything began with Noel stating: โI cannot live in a world where Ed Sheeran sells out Wembley stadium”. Sheeran’s fans went mad on Twitter, Ed firstly answered politely, then offered some tickets for one of his gigs to Noel.
And Noel Gallagher apparently changed his mind and buried the hatchet: “I wonโt hear a word said against Ed Sheeranโ.
7 – Noel Gallagher about his children: “Every time I pick up a guitar, they tell me to put it down”
“Iโve got instruments lying around the house, so if the boys ever want to pick up, they will. Every time I pick up a guitar, they tell me to put it down. I donโt know what kind of review that is. In the car, taking them to school, theyโll say โDad, got any new songs?โ, Iโll play โem one, get to the end and say โEh? Good that, innit? Wanna hear it again?โ and theyโll go โNo.โ It goes as far as that.”
8 – Noel Gallagher about his solo career: “This part of my career is like Breaking Bad”
“If you could sum up my career with films, Oasis was a cross between The Wolf of Wall Street and Saving Private Ryanโit was all about the struggle and the chaos. My first solo album was like Titanicโ it was a love story โand this part of my career is like a really cool TV series, like Breaking Bad. Yeah?”
9 – Noel Gallagher about Mourinho: “I hate Mourinho. Heโs a fool.”
Noel was asked about football and Mourinho, unsurprisingly, he had a very precise opinion: โI hate Mourinho. Heโs a fool. Mourinho a rockstar? Nooo, he is a very complicated gentleman. I have a son who is 7 and he is more mature than Mourinho. Iโd like to interview Mourinho and ask him why heโs such a fuckinโ idiot.โ
10 – Noel Gallagher about Liam Gallagher’s haircuts: “He’s had some bizarre looks, but he doesn’t give a fuck”
โHeโs had some bizarre looks, but the best thing about Liam is he truly doesnโt give a fuck. We used to walk into rehersals and weโd look at him and be like โOh my God, wow, Ok, Ok, alright, thatโs bizarreโ, but yeah heโs had some cracking hairstyles.โ
