BBC Newsbeat: Oasis could record solo albums
http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_7760000/7760500.stm
Noel Gallagher tells Radio 1's Colin Murray that it was easier writing
Dig Out Your Soul than 2005's Don't Believe The Truth, admits he can't
remember the recording of second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
and says he'd like the four members of Oasis to record their own material.
CM: Is Dig Out Your Soul better then Don't Believe The Truth?
NG: Yeah, I think so. Don't Believe The Truth is a great collection of songs
but it doesn't really hang together as an album. This is more like an
album in the sense that Pink Floyd made albums. It probably won't have
as many big singles on it as Don't Believe The Truth but that's not a bad
thing.
CM: Does it feel like a second album because Don't Believe The Truth was
a bit of a rebirth critically?
NG: It feels like a first one, because we're on our own record label now.
Not that we ever got any interference from Sony but it's quite liberating
to think, 'This is for us now'. We've fulfilled our commitment to them
and we've left them to do their own thing and vice-versa.
CM: I'm not saying you'd like to release a solo record, but have you got
any tracks that you've recorded that you set aside or didn't get recorded?
NG: I don't specifically put songs aside. There are songs that have just
fallen by the wayside that are still great but have missed their moment.
Like Stop The Clocks for instance. That needs to come out soon. At the
end of this tour, I'd like everyone to do something separately. I think
it would be interesting for our fans.
But I also think because we've ended up with this album at a place where
we were working to for the last five years. It's kind of like, 'What do
we do next?'. Liam's always the first person to start rushing things. I
think if he wants to get back in the saddle that quick, he should do it
for himself. He's got tonnes and tonnes of songs.
CM: Is making records getting easier with age and perceived wisdom?
NG: For a while. From Be Here Now to Don't Believe The Truth it was
getting progressively more difficult. But this one was a bit of a breeze.
We were working in London. We were going home every night. Our producer
had this idea to make this kind of psychedelic, monotonous drone-rock
album. We went along with it. It was just what we needed at our age, for
somebody to say, 'Why don't you go away and wrote some songs like this'.
We were like, 'OK'. Whereas usually we'd be flicking through CDs going,
'What about that one? We could do something with that one'. The previous
one, Don't Believe The Truth, was a nightmare, an absolute nightmare.
CM: Are you saying you needed somebody to say no?
NG: No. It's nothing to do with that. I would assume control of most
things. Halfway through Don't Believe The Truth I realised that I can
only do one thing with Oasis, that's make it sound like it's sounded for
10 years. Once I finally got it in my head that I was going to let it go
and let someone else do it, it was very liberating for me in a way.
CM: The best Oasis songs have always been the ones that were quick to
write. What were the 10 minute jobs on Dig Out Your Soul?
NG: Shock Of The Lightening and Falling Down. We had a weekend off and
my missus went up to Scotland with my little lad. I wrote the pair of
them, one on a Saturday night and one on a Sunday night. The Importance
Of Being Idle was pretty quick as well actually. Saying that though, I
remember Rock 'n' Roll Star taking forever to write. Nine times out of
10 a quick song will be great and one that takes a week or two will be
rubbish.
CM: You said you were a fan who writes songs. Critics say you've
plagiarised other people's music. As a songwriter is there a line you
have to draw?
NG: I'll lay it down on the line for you. What I actually do is I sit
and listen to Beatles' records and I play along with them and then I
gradually take the most obvious components of their songs, take them
out and just put some of my own words in and hey presto, we've got a
song. Of course not. I don't sit and listen, play along with them them
and go, if I'm listening to This Guy's In Love With You by Burt Bacharach,
call it The Sky's In Love With You. Who would know?
CM: Have you started sleepwalking?
NG: I woke up one morning on a different floor of my house than the
one I went to bed in. I wasn't drunk and I hadn't been out the night
before. I can't remember getting there. Sarah came down and she said,
'Maybe you've started sleepwalking'. I was like, 'If I started
sleepwalking at 41, life just keeps getting better and better. This
is incredible'. Where would you end up? You could end up anywhere. I
haven't done it since though.
CM: There was a great story when you signed to Creation that you told
them you had 50 songs written but you only had six. Did you have all
those songs?
NG: When we signed at the Sony offices we were saying, 'We could
complete this six-album deal in three weeks'. And they were going,
'How many songs have you got'. And we started writing down all these
songs and it got to about 11 and we stopped and we just started making
up stupid titles.
CM: Are there a lot of things you can't remember?
NG: '94 to '98. None of us have any recollection of recording Morning
Glory. I don't remember any of it. When we were coming up here Don't
Look Back In Anger was on the radio. It only took 12 days to record so
they're basically a bunch of demos. There was a massive fight in the
middle of that so we had to abandon the studio for a few days. None of
us had any cameras, no-one had any mobile phones, it hasn't been
documented and there are no different versions.
