Noel Gallagher: 'I don't want to make an album that's as bad as Oasis' 'Be Here Now''



Noel Gallagher has revealed that he wants to take a break next year. The former Oasis chief claims he wants to take time out to avoid making another album like 'Be Here Now'.

Speaking to XFM he added: I'm taking a well earned break after this. Why mess with brilliance? I'd only fuck it up. Look what it did to the aftermath of '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?'. Shit on it! 'Be Here Now'?

Oasis' third studio effort is widely considered to be one of their worst albums with Gallagher himself describing it as "the sound of a bunch of guys, on coke, in the studio, not giving a fuck. All the songs are really long and all the lyrics are shit and for every millisecond Liam is not saying a word, there's a fucking guitar riff in there in a Wayne's World stylie."

His latest comments come after he recently emphatically ruled out the chances of Oasis reuniting on NME Radio, saying that he wouldn't reform the band, even if "all the starving children in the world depended on it". He added that he has no need to reform Oasis, even though he knows the band's fans would love to see it.

I used to like Oasis but I can't really stand listening to their music anymore. Even 'Definitely Maybe' which used to be my favourite album.

I know Be Here Now gets a lot of hate, but I actually think there are some great compositions on it. :x

ztrellitaa 18th-Sep-2012 10:43 pm (UTC)
I really agree. Plus it was the first cd I ever owned so it has a special place for me.

PREACH~!

For real. I can't possibly hate it because I walked like 3 miles to the record shop the day it came out to buy it. I feel like I birthed the damn thing.
michelleantonia 19th-Sep-2012 08:20 am (UTC)
Exactly what I came in here to say!
cuzilubb 18th-Sep-2012 10:23 pm (UTC)
But....but D'You Know What I Mean is flawless
thevampireari 18th-Sep-2012 10:25 pm (UTC)
I would be interested in seeing him collaborate with Damon.
bssybuse 18th-Sep-2012 10:30 pm (UTC)
i think he said that he would like to collaborate with Damon rather than Thom Yorke.
thewunderland 18th-Sep-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)
I think he said he was interested in a collab with Damon, and Damon said he would like Noel to get on the Africa Express. He already had Graham as a support act, so I'm kind of hoping they'll work together as well.
bienenkiste 18th-Sep-2012 10:26 pm (UTC)
lol
keep shadin and stay flawless tbh
winegums 18th-Sep-2012 10:48 pm (UTC)
lol he'll never stop with the shade

I look forward to seeing him do it as an old man, too (maximum cranky, maximum troll potential)
bienenkiste 18th-Sep-2012 11:32 pm (UTC)
lol ikr
so ready for him to get even grumpier with age, shaking his cane @ everyone
bless
ilovelucozade 18th-Sep-2012 10:28 pm (UTC)
I was pleasantly surprised at how good his solo stuff has turned out to be!
briebellamy 18th-Sep-2012 10:36 pm (UTC)
He always takes a long break after touring so it's expected but I'm still disappointed that he's shelving the Amorphous Androgynous album. I'm really curious to hear how insane that album would have been
ztrellitaa 18th-Sep-2012 10:42 pm (UTC)
Rude, I love Be Here Now. It's what made me know about these guys and that opened the whole brit music world to me.

how finely timed this is considering i've been listening to High Flying Birds alot lately
thewunderland 18th-Sep-2012 10:53 pm (UTC)
Be here now was disappointing following the first 2 albums. His solowork is pretty great

I'd die if Oasis toured again tbh. Liam will be 40 in 3 days, I hope they can kiss and make up lol
oasisfan 19th-Sep-2012 12:10 am (UTC)
if Noel can make up with Damon, anything is possible.
ascot_gavotte 18th-Sep-2012 11:30 pm (UTC)
I wasn't too into Be Here Now either tbh. Except for Stand By Me.
jonesingjay 18th-Sep-2012 11:38 pm (UTC)
ouch.
oasisfan 19th-Sep-2012 12:11 am (UTC)
See my username.

Anyway, this is something I really haven't wanted to admit because I really love Noel. I love him so much.

But he doesn't seem to care at all about the fans. Liam, on the other hand, has always stopped, taken photos, given autographs, told me he loved me twice, read my christmas card onstage... all kinds of things.

And people say that he's the asshole.

Not so much.

I disagree.

I think Be Here Now is a great album. However the two albums which preceded it (Definitely Maybe and WTSMG) were absolutely phenomenal so Be Here Now just looks bad in comparison.

Be Here Now was the first Oasis album I listened to and I thought it was great, only later did I listen to Definitely Maybe and WTSMG. Yeah, Be Here Now is a little overproduced compared the the other two, but it's still great.

Also I think Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is grossly underrated.
michelleantonia 19th-Sep-2012 08:23 am (UTC)
Shit, MTE! Standing on the SHoulder of Giants has some IMMENSE songs on it, like Where Did It All Go Wrong... omg one of my favorite Oasis songs. And I've been into them since I was 13.. in '94. lol
mhfromnh 19th-Sep-2012 01:58 am (UTC)

I love him.
ludmi_83 19th-Sep-2012 04:07 am (UTC)

My love for Noel knows no bounds. I will stan for him for eternity.

Oh Noel, Be here Now is a great, I still listen to it and girl in a dirty shirt is one of my favorite.
