NOEL TELLS THE WHOLE 'TRUTH'
NOEL GALLAGHER has given an exclusive interview to NME.COM where
he claimed new LP ’DON’T BELIEVE THE TRUTH’ is their best effort
since their classic debut ’DEFINITELY MAYBE’.
Although they scrapped it three times and it took three years Noel
told NME.COM that Oasis are back on form and he’s prouder of their
sixth studio album than any other Oasis record in the last ten years.
He told NME.COM: “I’m more proud of this one then of any album
since ‘Definitely Maybe’. We stuck it out, we stuck to our guns
and we pulled it off.”
With single ‘Lyla’ being released on May 16, the album following
two weeks later on May 30 and a massive tour including appearances
at V Festival (August 20-21) to come, Noel admitted it felt strange
to return to full action with Oasis after ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’
’s isolated recording process.
“It’s like pulling a huge, big elastic band back,” he suggested.
“It went all the way back for three years and now we’re ready to
let go. We’re getting back into the swing of things, it’s been
‘What? We’ve got to do a video on Friday? Whoa, whoa!”
‘Don’t Believe The Truth’’s elongated recording process has
contrasted sharply to the regularity between the band’s previous
albums, leading some to suggest Oasis were in crisis. However, Noel
insisted he never panicked.
“We were more into getting this record absolutely spot on for no
other reason then the songs demanded it,” he explained. “There
was never one point where any of us where worried – apart from
Liam who’s like a woman who’s on a fucking permanent menstrual
cycle all the time about everything. He’s either way up in the
clouds or way down in the gutter. So taking him out of the equation,
the rest of us knew it was going somewhere and we kind of had it all
in our heads we just couldn’t put our finger on why the versions
before the album I’ve got in front of me now weren’t sounding right,.”
As with the ‘Heathen Chemistry’, Noel was joined on songwriting
duties by his bandmates, and he believes the results back the new
approach.
“People are telling me it’s really varied, I just think the album
is a good collection of songs,” he explained. “Liam’s are great,
Andy’s are brilliant and Gem’s – seriously – are the closest
anyone’s going to get to ‘Revolver’.
He added: “Someone said to me my songs sound like B-sides from 1994.
I take that as a compliment because the B-sides I wrote then should
have been on ‘Be Here Now’. That would be an insult to some people
but not to me.”
With the album now finished, Oasis are turning their attention to
touring. The band will play nine massive UK shows for June and July
– including a three night stand at The City Of Manchester Stadium
(June 30, July 2-3), home of Noel’s beloved Manchester City – as
well as playing Madison Square Garden (June 22) and The Hollywood Bowl
(September 12) in America.
