I respect this guy a lot. Amazing songwriter who unashamedly lived the rock and roll dream we all secretly long for. Did all the drugs he wanted and was famous as fuck. But...when the fame passed, and he got sober....he still wrote good music and actually grew into an even more likable guy. He's easy to respect. Good guy.

[@MinorSexualAssault]

I love that he admits he's not a workaholic and he wants to bum around for a year, pisses me off when pop stars go on about how hard they work

[@modona100]

Why? They probably do and some don't it's not that big of a deal

[@Imightberiding]

Noel is hilarious. "... the lead singer of Oasis was obsessed with John Lennon to the point of lunacy." His last story about buying a computer & that there is "nothing on the internet" reminded me of Karl Pilkington.

[@royfr8136]

10 years ago... I remember watching this.... where does time go?

[@WernerTon]

ace interview, like how the interviewer challenges noel at places, but also keeps it cool. ace topics too

[@marguitar1]

This is one of the best interviews I've seen of Noel and the interviewer was very good! And I didn't know Noel could be so hilarious!

[@MaritimeWolf]

This dude is a fantastic interviewer...

[@debonaire_nerd]

And an even better feminist.

[@MountainBlade]

Was*

[@Ruthypops1]

One of the better Noel interviews out there! I like the interviewer, asks meaningful and thought provoking questions to Noel. Cheers.

[@dabotsonline]

Jian Ghomeshi's questions have just the right level of inquisitiveness, and Noel's responses are appropriately insightful. Superb interview.

[@me11on67]

Noel Gallagher is a legend. Life is not about back tracking is a great quote. Good interviewer, should be more people like him asking decent questions instead of the mainstream helmets who we get stuck with.

[@M0nkeyMetal]

Noel is a genius

[@BB.halo_heir]

Still true ♡

[@greenodark]

Really nice interview... A nice, polite interviewer asking interesting questions, and especially getting interesting, thought-out answers. A real pleasure to watch. Great interview all around!

[@funkysteveve]

he is a quality interviewer

[@royfr8136]

Yeah, shame about the whole rape thing.

[@MrK30674]

"[Gasp!] What's that? It's a Banjo. What're you going to do with it?"

[@michelle88960]

Great interview. Love Noel's honesty I could listen to him all day. And yeah, all I use the internet for is entertainment and shopping.

[@olas591]

His voice is amazing, the best male voice out there.

[@1ranjeeves21]

You have a very nice ring.... nice way to start an interview

[@eddielasowsky7777]

1ranjeeves21 He unwittingly dropped his MO

[@nabiilnasser]

he has to be, the most polite interviewer in the world and didnt ask stupid questions.

[@lyricdave47]

Noel seems to be much happier as a guy than he was while with Oasis. I'm glad for him!

[@oiergasdn]

17:30 OH SNAP. I mean, yeah. That's the thing. They're not OASIS song, they're his songs. He wrote them. Liam sang it. Completely different things. Finally

[@AdrianTimms]

amazing interview !! .. first time ive seen noel actually thinking and taking time and interest and being serious on is answers !

[@Adriaantje2008]

This is one of the best interviews I've ever steen, great job!

[@stinberry]

What a very intellectual interview with Noel. Jian always makes the best interviews.

[@Astr0wave]

these are the best interview on youtube PERIOD. Each interview are amazing

[@Craig07L]

Say what you like but I've never seen a bad interview with Noel. He must be an interviewer's dream.

[@infowazz]

noel is damn good, not a huge oasis fan but when i hear it i like it. brains behind the curtain. also props for not getting a nose job. if he lived in the US he would for sure. we are so superficial here.

[@SamUraiSkys]

I've never been a "fan" of the buzz that I have heard as to who Noel Gallagher is/was, but this video has got me taking a second look at this guy.

[@AnGoosen]

Love Noels Music and Songs. Comes across well on interviews. Nice guy , good interview.

[@BarriosGroupie]

nice guy? He's a boring has been

[@Joethe147]

+Barrios Groupie I think you'll find that his brother is the boring has-been and always was.

+Barrios Groupie You're thinking of Liam.

[@sergefuni2141]

Awesome interview

[@garywilliams6890]

Awesome interview, and so true on so many aspects!

[@brandonsarkis]

Great interview here. And funny too.

[@themajor333]

brilliant interview, a real in depth look at an artist.

[@lvbunlops]

Great interview Noel and interviewer!!

[@tooton]

A very nice interview!

[@zabuma]

wow, fantastic interview!

[@thevictorianbaroness7604]

Amazing interview.

[@indiansummerboy2]

he's so good in explaining and reasoning.. it makes it so easy to understand all the choices he made, so honest, great guy

[@alejandrodg82]

Great interview man!!

[@tdk2592]

Great interviewer, great interview, great musician.

[@adammj1996]

weird that he says he's not in a stadium performer yet he did a sellout performance at the O2

[@mindoverthemmiles]

what an insightful interview, great stuff!

[@stregadisalem732]

Omg, that last story had me keeled over with laughter.

[@sparksfly44]

i almost choked to death on a sip of water

[@anekouzad]

now that's a great interview, one of the best ever on Q

[@s2ths2]

very very nice interview

[@knownpleasures]

Brilliant interview

[@lostmyshoes80]

Wow, really excellent interview by a guy who clearly has the intelligence to throw decent questions out there. This was a great joy to watch, and we got to see an honest and serious side to Noel. Excellent job.

[@XoXo475]

I love this interviewer . Too bad he doesn’t have a show anymore sad😢

[@boosh90]

I will now call myself a "songwriter/singer"

[@Tmal10]

What an awesome interviewer, props!

[@Samson25572]

Great interview

[@MsCE88]

great interview and great questions!!! he's a funny guy

[@dskapes]

now that was a fantastic interview

[@dukeofpearl]

fantastic interview. his honesty abot life is refreshing. feet still firmly on the ground.

[@garyw1971]

👌👌👌 great interview..

[@Metalcomedienne]

Love Noel Gallagher and Oasis.

[@edwardsandland8666]

Great interview man!!! Song Writer/Singer!!! x

[@HectorGonzalez-qx9nk]

Such a shame that before Noel releases Chasing Yesterday, Jian is being charged of being sexually abusive and removed from Q. Guess we'll never get an answer to that one question.

[@dishwithtrish]

Jian Ghomeshi is one of the most intelligent articulate well versed individuals who can pull off a highly intriguing interview on any subject in the Q studio AND Noel Gallagher has finally grown up and is one spectacular songwriter/singer !

[@azzgunther]

Noel says "you know" once or twice in this interview.

[@Stereotype23]

Noel is probably my favorite person in the whole world

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

It's lovely getting someone who can interview someone well. They get the best out of people. This guys is great. Noel on form as ever.

[@vacuumreality]

that's right, entertainment and shopping, that's all the internet is for. you got the point, Noel.

[@MrBMJ]

I like his sincerity

[@dvt1393]

Honestly, one of the best interviews I have ever seen of Noel. And I don't mean it was the funniest or edgiest, but it was extremely honest and informative. The new album is great, and it was nice getting some good information behind the songs. The interviewer is miles ahead of most others out there.

[@TheGalwayFarmer]

would love to see Noel playing a banjo!!

[@Tmantoronto]

"I own those songs"...love it!!

[@nimim.markomikkila1673]

"It is believed..." Always a pleasure to hear him talk:-)

[@traceyc2576]

He is an excellent interviewer

[@CammyBoYD]

Great interviewer

[@Zephyrdia]

Lol, at Noel discovering the internet :D

[@MR-hm5hw]

Great to see Noel giving intelligent responses to intelligent questions, he normally just runs rings around idiots asking uninspired questions.

[@jarednew13]

GREAT questions for Noel. You can tell that Noel has respect for the interviewer.

[@FLeA24681]

LOL the ending story was awesome!

[@jimspace]

top interview

[@PHONICSmossy44]

awesome interviewer his voice is well nice to listen to and noel...... need i say anything? GOD

[@BollocksUtwat]

"Stevie Wonder" "ehh... I don't wanna get into Stevie..." LOVE the reluctance. Obviously has huge breadth of opinion on music. Would love to watch just 5 hours of this kind of interview.

[@TwoNNsB]

Inspirational singer/songwriter/guitarist

[@Veaseify]

So down to earth, there's no 'rock star' trappings about Noel Gallagher, its such a weird thing with him and Liam though! He can't help the odd sly dig at his brother..

[@davor1873]

Genius,i am generally a metaller but love oasis,noel is an extremely funny,highly intelligent human being,it would be a privilege to go for a pint with this guy.

[@sugarraygras]

In Britain they did the biggest gigs in British history .

[@putaquepariu90]

@mancunianoasis man, Liam founded with the other three guys a band called THE RAIN. Noel really was the last one to join the band that would record Definitely Maybe, but 'Oasis' is a name suggested by the Chief, the guy that is being interviewed above our comments.

[@startracker5895]

No Liam came up with the name. Not Noel.

[@Elnont]

Noel’s hilarious man. Legend.

[@thedarkness97]

It is believed.....That Oasis is missed.

[@letthegalaxyburn]

I absolutley love him.

[@xenokinetic]

Noel gives a great interview, but the interviewer here was great as well. Did his research and didn't ask the same 5 questions Noel's been asked by every interviewer before.

[@cenkkmusic]

He's definitely dropped the Mancunian accent, and started sounding like a nice London boy, both language and attitude wise, unlike his brother. As for Liam, I still need subtitles.

[@Elnont]

I think it’s just because he’s been away from Manchester for so long. Liam puts it on a bit imo. Part of his ‘persona’.

[@DeeckyRizzo]

What a great interview... i can't remember Noel saying someone else "that's a good question" 11:25

[@Stsilascousteau]

this guy is a great artist

[@TwentyTwenty90]

Noel is a wise man, I respect him very much.

[@ProfessorCockrum]

Folks exiting out and searching Noel Gallagher sound checks...I did

[@hairbradschmidt513]

Do you have any videos of that....? And if so... would you share them in any way....?

[@ProfessorCockrum]

Near the end of the interview, Noel talks about fans, not me, recording sound checks and putting the up on the web

[@hairbradschmidt513]

ah alright then. Thanx for that. Here in Germany it's 4:21 a.m. may I better try to find some sleep... so, wherever you are.... sleepy well then or have a nice day ...@@ProfessorCockrum

[@ProfessorCockrum]

@@hairbradschmidt513 its within a few minutes of the end he talks about his sound checks...hello in Germany, I'm in the middle of the USA in Arkansas near where Bill Clinton was born

[@GreenDayPolice]

it was 50/50- they wouldn't have got big without liam's distinctive voice either, so you could argue there's no need (although maybe he should show some recognition)

[@oasisblues]

@Karomarr AGAIN: NO. Liam came when there were ALREADY a band called Rain, and the singer was Chris Hutton. LIAM gave the name Oasis, from a poster he had seen, there was written "Oasis Leisure Centre, Swindon".

[@CallMehXiLe]

Damn that interviewer is amazing!

[@carlstuchly6588]

Matt Burrows really?

[@astroboirap]

Matt Burrows who cares if he's kinky i still dig him

[@astroboirap]

Matt Burrows wtf are you talking about

[@ParsonWilkerson]

Matt Burrows who isnt.

[@Deathshuck]

Matt Burrows I really couldn't care less about these allegations against him. I don't know the guy, all I care is what's on the screen and he's an amazing interviewer. Period.

[@timcoe82]

He IS one of the greatest writers EVER. If you don't overly like his music don't let that get in the way of appreciating the album upon album of timeless classics. Name anyone who can compete outside of The Beatles.

[@djsguitarfan4814]

Tim Coe fuck the Beatles. I hate the way people think they are be all end all. They were fucking druggies making noise. I'm an oasis fan but I actually hate the Beatles

[@Pinkchyo]

@mancunianoasis yeah, but the founder of success its noel. i cant imagine a successful oasis w/o noel

[@sarahsmith4243]

Alex Zane's accent hasn't half changed like

[@baseoneTPC]

It's nice to see an interviewer asking good questions not just the dumb "Let's get who hates more lol!!!!1" Great Interview lads.

[@TheGalwayFarmer]

"get a wriggle on lady" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@bevmordek5968]

Josh Groban is the male equivalent of Adele. So my friend lets get real that's a voice. And Josh Groban is not an egomaniac, just a really nice guy with a great voice

[@Honasek]

you got the point but in my opinion it is impossible to get so marginally better voice like this.
