Noel Says... NOTE: Sorry!?!, this page has a lot of BAD words, so..some of 'em I delete it! "If I ever get to go to the moon, I'll probably just stand on the moon and go 'Hmmm, yeah...fair enough...gotta go home now.' - Noel "Useless" - Noel, referring to Tony McCarroll "Guigs is a hippie, a wanna be hippie...he smokes pot and reads books" - Noel "Best act today.

Noel: ehh...yes. Them places where, 'got any barbers where you come from boy? You boy's like country music?' Out there in, you know, them weird little truck stops you get to at like 6 in the morning, everyone's on the bus going, 'f**k, I'm not going in there'. You know what I mean, he he, the chance of me going in there, there's old geezers with snakeskin baseball caps on backwards, chewing tobacco 'Where in the hell you'd get that accent from?' "Anyway, we go in and start recording in October. We're gonna do the single and have it out in January, and around then we'll start recording the album. All depending wether we split up in the studio and the usual bollocks, walk-outs and bust ups and trying to get Bonehead out of the boozer." - Noel "We're not arrogant, we just think we're the best band in the world." - Noel "Those plate glass windows are just saying, 'throw a chair through me.'" - Noel on chairs and windows Interviewer: You once said in an interview that all the songs on Morning Glory have a connection. What is the connection? Noel: It's all part of a big spiritual riddle to which only I have the answer. "You can put your life in the hands, of this rock n roll band. Cos we'll never throw it all away" - Noel at Knebworth (Don't Look Back in Anger) "I love playing music. It's a gift that was given to me by whoever dishes out these talents to people...and as long as I believe I have something valid to put out as a piece of music then I'll keep doing it. As soon as I feel it's not, I'll stop and do something else like open a chippy or work in a butcher's shop." - Noel "Americans are crazy. They have this facination with throwing their shoes on stage. I've been to a lot shows in me life, some good and some bad. But I was never moved to take off me shoes and throw it at the lead singer." - Noel "Let me try to do the interview... So tell me, what's life like being a transvestite?" - Noel at the MTV Music Awards preshow "My main concern before going on stage is, What frame of mind is Our Kid going to be in? Will he get f**ked off and walk off, which he is perfectly capable of doing. He was annoyed when somebody threw a rock at him at a gig, the bloke responsible was lucky cos if we hadn't been having such a good time we'd have jumped in and put him in intensive care. We're not the psychopaths we're made out to be but you don't take s**t do you?" - Noel "I went to Paul McCartney's daughter Stella's party and who should open the door but the man himself. He was dead cool. There were all these questions I wanted to ask him but I settled on, Do you watch Brookside?" - Noel "I was as loud as Our Kid is...I did the same things he does every night." - Noel before Oasis "If you don't want to be the biggest band in the world, you may as well pack it in." - Noel "I told Our Kid the band was s**t, but he definitely had something as a frontman. Then I said you either let me write everything, control everything, and make all the decisions, or forget it." - Noel "Eat more vegetables." - Noel to Guigsy "In Newcastle some geezer jumped up on the stage and punched me in the eye. It went off pretty bad, there was a riot at the gig. You always get that in England. There's always someone in the front giving you the finger. Did they queue up for six hours just to come down and call me a wanker? I don't understand that mentality. It's very strange." - Noel "When we get time off from the band, everyone else goes on 'oliday, but I just start writing. I went away once over the summer, and our management wouldn't let me take a guitar with me - they locked 'em all up. They're afraid of me burning myself out." - Noel "Nothing bothers me more than when groups like Pearl Jam and Nirvana whine and moan and complain about life and being famous. Let me tell you, being famous is great! The feeling when someone asks you for an autograph, unbelieveable! I just think Americans are tired of people telling them how crap their lives are. I think when people listen to our music, we tell them how good their lives could be. I guess I just can't understand the thoughts of Eddie Vedder or that whole bit... I mean, lad, if you hate your job so much, why don't you f**kin' go work at a car wash or McDonald's or something?" - Noel, on MTV 1994 "Has-beens shouldn't present awards to gonna-bees...(drifting off) Well, I guess I should talk a little longer, so: I'm Rich, You're Not!" - Noel's acceptance speech from the 1995 Brit Awards, after receiving best album award from Ex-INXS frontman Micheal Hutchence. "It's like a game of baseball. The press hold the ball, but you hold the bat. So they toss you the ball now and again, and it's up to you to knock it for a home run and run around the stadium." - Noel They say, "How's it goin'?" and I say "Great." And then they go (affects empathetic voice), "Tch, you know what, man? I'd really hate to be in your position, man. I mean, your life must be really hard." And I'm thinking, what? You sell two records in Gloucester, and you're telling me you'd hate to be in my position? I've got a f**kin' Rolls-Royce and a f**kin' bastard mansion, and an airplane and you'd hate to be me? Ha, not as much as I'd f**kin' hate to be you, you daft cunt -- living in a f**kin' squat with your bird and a f**kin' dog! Yeah, being a multi-millionaire is a big, bad pain in the a**, man -- you wouldn't want to wish that on anybody. - Noel Noel: "What are we gonna do now?" Musician: Spend some of your money perhaps? Noel: Yeah, but what on? I've got everything I want. I could only go and buy two of everything now -- that just gets boring. "Jarvis is a star! I mean, all he did was get up on stage and get his belly out, but in England people thought it was so shocking. It's not as if he cracked [Jackson] on the head with a baseball bat -- which is what I would done if I'd gone up there." - Noel "Yet again, I was right! It's a pisser being right all the time - it bores the [thing] off me!" - Noel "This guy came up to me from some band and he said that 'Man, I'd hate to be you right now, no privacy at all' and I was thinking, 'Sure thing man, I have a Rolls Royce, a million dollars in the bank, a mansion and my own jet and you think you'd feel sorry for me? What are you? I'd hate to be you, broke as all hell living in the dole.' " - Noel Noel: Why don't you go downstairs and smash the bar up and say you're the singer of Oasis? Liam: 'Cos I don't want to. If I did, there's nothing would stop me. Dani Behr: Do you still have physical fights. Noel: No. The last time was in March or May and we haven't done since because... Dani Behr: Who won? Noel: I did. He claims its because he was drunk, but I claimed I had won because I had a cricket bat in my hand. In America --"I'm sitting there thinking ' I know I live in a mad country but its not half as crazy as it is here" - Noel "I used to go out every single night to gigs. I still actually, if there's a gig on when I'm sitting round London. Any gig will do me. I just love going to see bands." - Noel "I do all the work so it's only right that I should get the most money. Plus I am the most handsome" - Noel Noel, Talking about Liam -- "It's a good thing we don't live in America, where guns are accessible, cause I would have blown his head off by now! The problem is I can't fire him because my mom would kill me!" Noel, on Don't Look Back In Anger "It's about not being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It's about lookingforward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on thepast or talk about what might've been." Noel, The 'Q' interview -- "If it wasn't for Our Kid (Liam) I don't know what I would have done [mimes arm around shoulder, quiet words] "It's all right, you just said something daft" This is my little brother, who I look after, putting his arm around me, saying "It'll be all right, man." The Great Noel Gallagher, Guitar World:"Your love of certain bands is obvious in your music. Do you consider yourself a fan who writes songs, or a songwriter that just happens to be a fan?"-- "A fan who writes songs, definitely. I'm a fan of music who's celebrating that fact in my songwriting. I'm not saying 'I'm the greatest songwriter in the world. Listen to me.' Usually I'm saying 'These are the greatest songwriters in the world. And I'm gonna put them all in this song." Noel, on his Lyrics "In an ideal world, I wouldn't write them, I can't stand it..." "I'm not John Lennon. I'm not trying to say anything. I'm just trying to entertain people" "It's just words that sound good." Noel, on The Beatles -- "They're the ultimate influence" "Our kid (indicating a smiling, drunken Liam) should have been voted best band because he's got seven different personalities and he's got a top brass section." "I wish Blur were dead, John Lennon was alive and the Beatles would reform," Dani Behr: What's it like having loads of money now? Noel: ...er...it's alright "Next year I hope to get a stalker or two because I don't belive you've arrived until you get a stalker." - Noel "I refuse to dance. I can't dance anyways. I'm not in a band for that. It's about music and that's it. I'm not an entertainer. But, I do entertain people, see what I mean?" - Noel Noel orders a beer, the rest opt for lemonades and Cokes. Above us, the TV is on. CNN News. "Have you seen some of the stories they have on here?" Noel enquires. "Check this one I saw this morning. There's this guy who's 75 and he's got cancer. So his doctor tells him he's got about two years to live. So he thinks, 'Fuck it, I've always hated my wife, the stupid bag.' So he kills her. 'What the fuck, I've got nothing to lose.' Then he's put in jail but, the problem is, he doesn't die. He's 99 now and guess what he's doing?" Noel surveys our expectant faces. "Suing the doctor," he cackles. "He's taking him to court," he continues, pissing himself. "And he's saying, ' If it wasn't for what you told me I would never have killed my wife and now you owe me ten million pounds.' I'm sitting there thinking, 'I know I live in a mad country but it's not half as crazy as it is here.'" - Noel in America "If I were in the Beatles, I'd be a good George Harrison." - Noel "I'm not like John Lennon, who thought he was the great Almighty. I just think I'm John Lennon." - Noel "Now we all drink Pepsi" - Noel after being sued by Coke
