He's gone to the zoo. The monkeys are bringing their kids
to go and have a look at him.

Liam was not at the Q awards where their band Oasis was named
Best Act in the World and Noel picked up the Classic Songwriter

As soon as people realise that the majority of people in this
country take drugs, then the better off we'll all be. It's not
like a scandalous sensation or anything like that
drugs
is like getting up and having a cup of tea in the morning.
Noel Gallagher
BBC Radio interview January 1997, defending
East 17 singer Brian Harvey who had admitted taking ecstasy |
Americans are crazy. They have this fascination with throwing
their shoes on stage. I've been to a lot of 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.

I'm a happy-go-lucky character. I'm not that miserable. But
I can never let anyone into my world.
Noel Gallagher |
I've always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards
on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just
keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard
player, apart from Elton John.
Noel Gallagher |
We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in
the world.
Noel Gallagher
On success of his band Oasis |
If I were in the Beatles, I'd be a good George Harrison.
Noel Gallagher |
The thing about us is we're honest. If we're asked whether
we take drugs, we say yes. I was brought up by my mam not to
be a liar.
Noel Gallagher |
With every song that I write, I compare it to the Beatles.
The thing is, they only got there before me. If I'd been born
at the same time as John Lennon, I'd have been up there.
