Noel Gallagher talks about how he started to play the guitar&what music means to him.

[@technikair]

The Live Forever Acoustic Version and the Solo were the First things I learned on the guitar

[@NoelG-IRE]

Me too! That’s mad

[@balladofthemightyi]

Cast No Shadow was first I learned :)

[@ccal1821]

Same

[@robsol123]

Wonderwall for me 😎🤟🎶

[@enelanonymatus5634]

Me too!!!! haha

[@mardygum]

Chief, you're the reason why I started a band. I doubt I'd even make an attempt to pen a song had I not been introduced to Noel Gallagher's lyrics. He's a rare talent, especially in the time and age we live in.

[@yopglomusic8872]

Nitin Sharma His lyrics are awesome, but I think his melodies are even better.

[@MrKrabs-uy8mv]

mate there is no such thing as talent its called obsession

[@elchatodeoro1]

what do you mean?

[@paulashton6302]

elchatodeoro1 I don't think he knows what he means you don't make a comment like that and not answer to it ,probably listens to royal blood or some SHITE like that and attends college 3 times a week.

[@JPVanderbuilt]

@@MrKrabs-uy8mv is onto something here. A very wise comment.

[@flinchey6962]

Noel’s probably the reason I picked up the acoustic guitar

[@richdukes9632]

Another one here, playing since I nicked my sisters classical guitar to play the bassline to Supersonic in 1994 when I was 13. Still going at 43!

[@willwolf4627]

Noel IS the reason that I bought Epiphone Les Paul as my first guitar, In the future I'll buy the Epiphone EJ-200

[@harrybrown4077]

Noel Gallagher is spot on about music here.

[@cosmicgoddess5085]

It's official. I'm in love with Noel Gallagher . I totally get it. Music is magical, he's right, lyrics don't mean shit, the music transports & allows you to become one with the universe.

[@katoness]

I think along the same lines. Thanks Noel.

[@z-rex6068]

I can definitely relate to what he's saying about music. Such a legend, he's right.

[@mikey68702]

Glad they cut the questions, NG is one of the best British songwriters ever , bored of sycophantic interviewers who crack up laughing when he scratches his nose .

[@KellyVision]

Actually you wouldn´t be bored of me;) He is quite entertaining though u must admit, so why not be allowed to laugh about it?

[@z-rex6068]

Listening to The Masterplan whilst watching this, really does capture the essence of what he's talking about. That the tune is more important than the lyrics.

[@MidosujiSen]

The lyrics are the best part of that song though, some of his best.

[@dommccaffry3802]

Music takes me somewhere else. Particularly if mumford and sons come on in a pub.

[@MedalionDS9]

Having your wife be unimpressed by your music is a good thing It challenges you to be better than to be happy with just your average

[@sramirezstreet8]

Well a bit of support and excitement from your partner makes u feel good too lol i would be fuckin depressed if nothing excites them

[@McFixStuff]

He didn't have that wife when he was writing bangers for Definitely Maybe

[@realsinisterminister]

I think its a good thing....better than some groupie telling you how great everything is...

[@matthewhoult7641]

Noel Gallagher and Richard Ashcroft were the inspiration to pick up the guitar and believe I can do it 👍

[@FinAyres]

Noel is the reason I play guitar he’s the reason for everything Noel is a GOD

[@utkarsh_Shrivastava]

1:27 Noel explains what's the deal with "be here now".

[@cph2004]

Fuck it, buy an album while drinking your coffee... done.

[@RhythmGrizz]

cph2004 hell yes.

[@p10rambo]

Coffee? The f who gives a shit??

[@ChainNonSmoker]

Haha, classic Noel, randomly starts grumbling about coffee and coffee drinkers out of nowhere :D like it was the reason people aren't buying CD's no more. There's always truth behind what he says but the way he expresses it it's hilarious.

[@ExternalInputs]

It is the truth. People will pay five quid or more for a drink or a burger, yet think it's okay to steal music and movies.

[@jasonq111]

I heard Live Forever and the solo and started playing guitar. That was 25 years ago now.

[@Gramasz]

Tell those to ppl who like lyrics so much and are into the meaning of a song...I don't give a shit about that. A good melody is louder than 10000 words

[@PaperBanjo64]

Definitely, country music put emphasis on telling the same old heartache stories, Noel's music meanwhile is more about the Melody.

[@Nathan-rz3up]

First songs I’ve learnt are talk tonight, champagne supernova, and songbird - as you can tell I’m a big blur fan

[@will_da_man_]

I love Noel Gallagher. Such an inspiration. He just... gets it. He understands.

[@clintonjones6327]

heard a few of liams new songs since he's become a solo artist and he's set the bar pretty high so hope your songs areas for better...I cat wait for both album to come out

[@Lannd84]

Sir, don't look back in anger was my first song.

[@michaelbrent6099]

ditto

[@jaretos]

He will always be the reason why I play the guitar... I grew up as a child listening everyday to Oasis and I couldn’t be happier with that. Thanks dad for the great music when I was a child haha

[@Ryan-9000]

Such a funny guy xD

[@FinAyres]

Noels the reason I started playing guitar he’s my hero

[@RudyPalos]

He never disappoints, does he? Always good for a laugh. or at the very least a "THIS foocking guyyy!" lol. Heres a vote for cutting the questions out. who cares about the question?? Noel certainly doesn't; he's gonna say some wild shit regardless hahah

[@KellyVision]

Rudy just to let u know from the interviewer that actually the questions are vital to the interview. If u ask dumb questions u wont get good answers. There are formats where the interviewer is in the shot and it has more of a conversational style which can be cool too. So keep your mind open for all styles;)

[@jimmywangyan3884]

it's amazing

[@STETTRACE]

NOEl knows EVERYTHING lol. Like talking about 4 different people having 4 different opinions of the same song. I’m always amazed as a musician, how you can come off of the stage really jacked saying to each other “ man we KILLED it tonight “ and one of your friends watching will be like “ you guys were a little flat tonight “? And you can come off stage saying “ ah man, we were just a bit flat tonight “ and your friends are like “ damn!! You guys are on fire”!!!! There’s no figuring it out lol

[@luquivarde7266]

he says that he doesnt give a shit about lyrics when he writes some of the best lyrics out there

[@theSPECIALbrew74]

Still occasionally to this day I buy a cd. Not many bands move me now but always felt if I like an artist I want them to afford to make more art.

[@kittisaksae-du1679]

Love you Noel .

[@StevieZero]

Those of us of similar age all started with House of the Rising sun... My first song was HOTRS my first real one was That's alright Mama.

[@jiop538]

Something very Ringo-ee with Noel's mannerisms☺

[@zacharycollins6548]

Noel is a music fan... And it shows in his songwriting. And he's a funny dude. If he didn't do music, I'd like to think he'd me a comedian.

[@willpayne6249]

The Firist Song that Leaned on the Was Everybody hurts By Rem and Smoke on the Water.

[@Marley999888]

He called me out with the coffee thing...damn.

[@jule_ah]

wise man. love listening to him.

[@rumourhats]

I'm sure if people had the ability to download coffee or obtain it for free, then after years of conditioning people will be reluctant to buy coffee. #noeldidntthinkitthrough

[@MrBluhorseshu]

The Edge has said similar Re motivation. Music completely left the building circa '04-07, tho. Really for the past ten years it's completely dominated by something you could just hum yourself in the elevator. Not much in the way of say a Violator or Stained Class. As in something that just sounds cool or rocks hard.

[@jimg78]

my first chords too. spooky

[@lemonysticket9256]

Noel: I don’t take anything seriously Also Noel: Life is what you make of it (and talking about career stuff)

[@DavidMartin-ms6fc]

I agree with him about coffee

[@henriqueyoh]

Fucking wise man.

[@heathceccato2953]

Last 2 towns l've lived didn't have music stores. Singles should be about $5 on ltunes ect

[@jameskendall11]

hero

[@Johnny_Doe]

He got grounded so much he learnt and practiced only the pentatonic box shapes well….

[@adambinnie1332]

everyone plays the house of the rising son, lol

[@Clempt90]

When he states that he doesn't give a shit about lyrics I m reminded of half of oasis catalogue.

[@fingerbob74]

You wanna write an anthem? Don't get too deep! Go Balls out Rock n' Roll keep it simple !

[@Jerid58]

Lol, Noel on about coffee again. But tea.....tea is koo. Love that mate.

[@twostrudelsplease2511]

He says the music takes him somewhere else but he doesnt give a shit about lyrics. Then why does a lot of his music use the same chord progressions but with complex lyrics 🤔

[@leonwalker723]

Them glasses are the bollox

[@elchatodeoro1]

whts the brand of his sunglasses?

[@STETTRACE]

But you need to quit fucking with coffee NOEl!!! COFFEE NOT TEA!!!!

[@SniffingGlue]

What a fantastic haircut! 👌

[@tsering90]

What kind of shades are these? Are these rsy bans?

[@mooneyt92]

Where are the shades from?

[@ryanx3584]

Random..but.. what are them shades? They are sick.

[@tomcoates3919]

Ryan Walker they’re called Garrett leights

[@SlinkiestTortoise23]

You can totally tell if you listen to Oasis that Noel doesn’t give a shit about lyrics!

[@jackbeaven-duggan559]

I was born in 1995 but I don't get in to if you grow up in a generation you like whats in your generation I listen to what I want don't give a fuck if it come before I was born or was but too young to know I don't cared

[@Tricey99]

Any1 tell me what sun glasses they are ???!

[@IRememberThe80s]

Nice ones

[@QWERTYASDFAYO]

Tricey Looks like it is Garrett Leight sunglasses, 'cos it is very much like their unique frame! Models Brooks or Kinney - can't say for sure what exactly )

[@john_air]

lol his wife lol

[@CameronRoughfoot]

Rhian from the NME forgot to source this interview, because the Daily Star did not interview him. Just this wonderful lady who let him talk :-) In my opinion, coffee shops have kind of done what he says they did, and personally, coffee shop music is shite anyway.

[@KellyVision]

Not sure what you mean with, Rhian didn´t source this interview?

[@CameronRoughfoot]

Oh, a woman named Rhian wrote a NME blog post at nme.com where this interview was supposed to be attached. It wasn't attached anywhere in her post. The only thing she did attach was an odd news article.

[@KellyVision]

Ah ok, I see:) I´m glad u found it after all.

[@CameronRoughfoot]

She also didn't even take the time to notice that this interview was about a year ago.

[@booishoois309]

I don't know who is paying 20 Euros for 2 coffees, unless you're a multi millionaire like Noel. People don't buy music because most of it is shit, and because you can get it for free online. I bought alot of CD's back in the day simply to get 1 song off an otherwise crappy album (not counting Oasis of course). But that's what it comes down to - people don't have alot of money, and won't pay for something they can get for free. Very happy I didn't pay for his new album, which had 1 good song (Dead in the water) with the rest being shit.

[@irishelk3]

Haha Coffee for the most part is wank.

[@MaloneysDigest]

Irishfox it is. At least drink gets you merry. Coffee just makes you jumpy.

[@makeitsonumberone1358]

House of the rising sun? you and a billon other guitarists noel lol Edit: including me 🤣

[@winonawu8260]

Nice interview. But Noel, why would you block a fan page on ins if you don't take social media seriously?

[@agallagher5936]

Winona Wu Probably his guys did it not him?

[@dannyclub09]

1:30 Probably Liam.

[@elchapi366]

What’s the sunglasses he is wearying

[@willpayne6249]

because it's Rock and Roll

[@tyllyscab]

it's from Woolworth!

[@OGGalleryCrew92]

I bet he takes his bank account seriously !!

[@fionnmcnessa]

Your wife sounds like she doesn't appreciate your talent your not alone . I've watched women approach my talented musician friend saying OMG your girlfriend must count herself so lucky his reply no she doesn't give a shit and they can't get their head around it

[@HatfulofHallow]

"I don't give a shit about lyrics", Yeah no shit

[@w1lf1ewoo]

I annoys me that many star wives only become rock star wives because they are aloof and arrogant and act unimpressed by their husbands’ talent .... they’re like: am i bovvered by wonderwall or Imagine

[@Boofaluf]

เช้ดโด้

[@noellee3452]

does not seem to speak in the same way as he did 20 years ago. losing the Manchester accent? :)

[@TheGalwayFarmer]

well does he live in manchester!!!!!!!

[@johnsmith5022]

Imagine being as arrogant as his wife about the music that pays for her life

[@jamesarthurelite2321]

Some things he says are straight up lies lol

[@matthewrider5906]

She took em for a damned good ride, til his shit got too experimental, & did more poorly than Liam's stuff, & now they'll be no more! Sounds like Liam might've been right!

[@vincevirtua]

Shut it Noel, you buy loads of coffee.

[@Sw-sx7nw]

No actual details…. It’s always the same old poetic nonsense. There was a definite time when he learns the guitar.. with the same old crap that the rest of us had to do…. Walk for miles to the nearest music store to spend our money on tablature books. Stop being vague. Just say how it is ffs man

[@clintonjones6327]

heard a few of liams new songs since he's become a solo artist and he's set the bar pretty high so hope your songs areas for better...I cat wait for both album to come out
