Pretty obvious what's going on, Noël's a scientologist... God bless. Bingo, that is exactly what he has morphed into. Maybe not literally, but in terms of character, spot on

I can understand him taking shots at Dave Grohl because he played with Liam, and at the end it's a shot at him but what's even worse... the digs at QOTSA Villians is brilliant, one of the best albums of the year and it pisses over all the new Noel songs we've heard so far (except maybe FK.) being "happy" and making "happy" music doesn't mean it's good music. look at Pharrel FFS "guitar music is about shouting" what a load of shit. Perhaps because Josh Homme has been in a band with Grohl? FF's last record was produced/written Wall of Glass as well. Wtf is going on with Noel, at least the Noel of yesteryear knew how to pick a battle, this just seems petty. Noel doesn't hate Grohl ffs. Or hate Josh Homme. He's a big fan of the Arctic Monkeys and Alex Turner yet still slated him on his last tour for being boring in interviews (which he was before he decided to go very Be Here Now and smash coke for two years straight). He's just saying what these bands do currently is all a bit samey. I agree. They're good at it and all the power to them, but currently, name a 'rock band' that doesn't seem to just make a lot of noise?

Irony and deadpan humour is simply not fashionable anymore, that's why Noel seems different. It's people that have changed, not Noel.

I said on another post, I think Noel might have spent a little too much time on tour with u2. For whatever reason, he seems to think he's on u2 level in regards to album promotion and opinions... I really think that he believes his own bullshit or that someone is whispering in his ear.. he may have gotten away with some of that stuff during oasis but it's different times and fans are not responding like they use to... by that I mean, no one really wants to listen to him make absurd, obnoxious, unfunny comments. For example, his matthew mcconaughey Instagram posts that no one really cares about it or gets what he's trying to say. He seems so disconnected from his fan base and reality. Sounds like you’re jealous of Noel. Cant wait for him to outsell Liam Sounds like you’re jealous of Noel. Cant wait for him to outsell Liam Keep em coming midnight! Keep fighting for him mate! Keep em coming midnight! Keep fighting for him mate! I will. Jump back on the wagon in two weeks. Calm down guys. It's not some contest who "has to" win. At least not for me. Side note: I don't like both U2 and Foo Fighters.

I don’t diss anybody’s character. Alex Turner wouldn’t be offended by that, why should he be? I guess he could be by the headlines, because they’re like ‘Noel Calls Queen A vagina’, but I was just talking about rock star interviews in general. Alex is a fucking top dude in a fucking top band, and a very attractive man. His interviews, on the other hand, are lacklustre.” Read more at www.nme.com/news/music/noel-gallagher-129-1219032#xiXEhVtDlmDVczYc.99

Fair enough. I didn't recall him mentioning them recently. I know he was a big fan when they broke through.

Hmmm I don't think that is the most likely reason. I like both those forms of humour, not sure I feel I'm getting that from Noel.

Just sounds like the same old Noel to me. Yeah, I could stand to hear him not talk about Bono for a while, but he's been having a go at other rock bands and inflating his own importance for what...23 years now? He definitely comes across as less interested than normal, but that's ok. His music is vibrant enough right now for me to not care about his interviews.

These kind of interviews where you have to hear a question in another language, wait for the translation, reply, wait for the translation, ... must be really boring to do.

People here are missing the plot with the U2 point here. That Noel's been hanging out with them is a good thing for me actually, as I'm a big fan of U2 and admire the fact that they use their stardom to debate tough issues such as gender equality and human rights.
My point is that Noel learned nothing from U2. If he had learned anything from them he'd never say something unecessary about the Foos or that he didn't listen to AYW (obvious lie) because Liam didn't write it alone. It's the same old Noel, but in a boring mould

He's giving less of himself in interviews and maybe he is tired or that, i'll give you that, but i just had a listen to that italian radio itw, and it was the same guy, same kind of replies, same humour. Just that the interviewers didn't spend 90% of the interview asking questions about his brother. Maybe that's the difference...

So he's slating Dave Grohl now despite DG being nothing less than effusive in praise of Noel. Presumably because he has played with Liam recently. Sure Liam has slated Bono, but I thought Noel was supposed to be the grown up here. They are both exactly the same. He didn't slate DG though ffs Literally 10 minutes after his initial comment he says he likes the FF. Fgs, the Foos do just shout a lot, he isn't wrong. They don't exactly specialise in acoustic ballads do they? No they don't. I'm not even really a fan of FF so I'm not defending them. It just seems he brought them up for criticism because of their friendly recent relationship with Liam, which seems no better than Liam criticising U2, Weller or Marr because of their association with Noel. They are all, whatever your taste in music, well regarded artists. Noel and Liam's petty squabbling is embarrassing and neither has any reason to try and take the moral high ground here.

Perhaps Noel and his BFF Marcus Russell were too busy with the tax evasion classes to pay attention on U2's public branding.

There are more people who are offended these days although they might have been offended before its just that now they have a platform to be more visible.

Wow, likening Liam to the cowardly Lion from Wizard Of Oz... Brutal... I think that was funny. Don't get why people are taking everything Noel says so seriously now.

Criticising people dying their hair. I guess Johnny Marr's jet black locks are perfectly natural then. Marr looks like he wears a wig...either that or he's had some hair plugs done. Hair transplants rarely look as natural at Marr's hair, I think he's just been lucky, as Noel has. That wellend haircut just doesn't look good on anybody but Weller.

I don't think Liam is the biggest fan of Foo Fighters' music either. He's friendly with them and likes Taylor's solo stuff.

And think also Metallica: they are great friends with him and he still said he left after 20 mins of their Glastonbury set. And he also mentioned QOTSA who don't have any relationship with Liam. I think you guys are seeing too much here: Noel has never been into hard rock (not that QOTSA is that) and that's it. No need to involve his relationship with Liam to explain this

There are more people who are offended these days although they might have been offended before its just that now they have a platform to be more visible. You're basically validating my point. Those platforms are now running the world, influencing people, helping them shape their personality, therefore changing society. Pretty obvious to see the world has changed since Facebook, Twitter, Instagram (and smartphones) have emerged. Their policy have become the norm for people that use those platform and they are behaving according to their rules. The world is always changing from something to an other something. I'm not saying it was like something before for the past millions years and never changed in the past. It's constantly evolving. Noel belongs to his era and maybe the general audience now has a harder time understanding his personality. They key in these days of segmentation is to speak only to your audience and be very careful when you try and reach a broader public. Maybe Noel didn't adapt. Liam's following and Noel's following are becoming two different kind of people. Look at what happened recently to Larry David on SNL, yet his show is maybe a hundred times harder. Would Ricky Gervais's humanity show work outside his fanbase ? People would be horrified. Noel Gallagher simply cannot be as he was before because society does not allow that anymore.
