I'm American and I love to listen to Noel (and the Brithish in general) talk.

[@montpelier42d]

Noel Gallagher is probably one of the most down-to-earth rock stars on the planet. No airs nor graces about him. Recall some years back his walking into a bar in North London and joining a group of Irish building workers for a pint. They didn't know who he was - he appeared pleased to be accepted as an ordinary guy, out for a Saturday afternoon pint. He was great craic - wonderful story-teller.

Haha, I love his 'Pete Townshend' face :D

[@oldguyinshed1703]

I just watched his performance at The Royal Albert Hall then listened to this interview, I have always thought Noel Gallagher was a proper knob but he has just changed my mind, his performance was way above average and way better than I thought he would be. It took guts to play another mans solo in front of him and a crowd I seriously enjoyed the show.

Great guitarist and a top guy. If he ever finds himself out of work in music, hes got a career as a comedian right there ready for him.

Wouldn't say he's a great guitarist, he's by his own admission "average" he is however an exceptional songwriter!

Not saying he's arrogant, but if The Who asked me to rehearse with them I'd have to pinch myself with an industrial crane before speeding off to join em. Not buy bloody shoes! lol

[@theartfuldodger6500]

He is arrogant. Fair play to him for admitting he is not that good. Watch the video and see how average he is.

I thought he was great, he shouldn't put himself down like that, he's an unbelievable musician.

[@adamknight7041]

He's good but he isn't a guitarist you can put in the same league as Pete Townsend or a whole host of even better one's. Noel is a brilliant songwriter based around basic chord structures and simplistic but memorable lead solos, technically though he isn't anything special.

[@dash_r_media]

Yeah, he's not putting himself down. On the Oasis records he's playing solid solos that work, not anything especially demanding. I know some people say that technical ability shouldn't come at the expense of the song, but good songs should ask something from the people playing them.

[@badgasaurus4211]

The most complicated lead guitar is the guitar guitar solo in F*cking in the Bushes and even then, Noel isn’t the one who played it. Second would be the descending run in the instrumental break in Flashbax after the second chorus

[@eyeballtickler]

look dont compare noel with anyone. he is a genius, you only have to look at a 1/3 of his best songs to know that. if you cant see it then your not a true music fan. even if your not a noel g fan you can appreciate that. to compare him to anyone is unjust. and to say that hes a good songwriter and thats it is slightly odd since isnt writing songs the main point of music?

@SoasisG i couldn't agree more!

[@eyeballtickler]

Blur or Coldplay would be a far better example of a beatles for the present generation. with the Beatles their songs at heart focused on melody yet changed with each album as is the same with those two bands. With Radiohead; Amnesiac, Kid A and the more recent stuff push far more musically than melodically.

[@shaunkelly9860]

"or are you just basing this on the media portryal of them not getting on. " You're right. Pete and Roger ride everywhere together. Even if the rehearsals are in Pete's own Oceanic studios, which is where these were, he makes sure to arrive at the exact same time and with Roger Daltrey in tow. If you can't figure out that Noel here likes to tell a tall tale every now and again, you're fairly dense.

I thought Noel nailed it. He did a quieter more melodic part for the solo and it was nice. It wasn't the best live performance of the song I've heard but it was okay.

[@miketravis6149]

I watched the video and he nailed it, or should that be Noeled it? In my honest opinion he is one of the nicest guys in the music business. He comes over a little arrogant at times but that`s Rock & Roll and he has earned his place among the best. He can fit in with any band as a guest and rumours are he is considering working with Paul Weller.

If you put Noel on the same level as Brian Wilson,you seriously have no concept of quality music. I have some of the best taste in music and I know what good music is. Oasis are a good band.
