Noel Gallagher - walks it like he talks it
NOEL GALLAGHER ON STUDIO 68 Part 1
TIM LOVEJOY: Welcome Noel
NOEL GALLAGHER: Thank-you
TL: How are you?
NG: I'm alright, I 'm good.
TL: Alright, first of all, I've been reading a lot of interviews about you;
no-one asks you how your baby's doing, baby Anais...how is she?
NG: She's bald, fat, smelly and rowdy like all good babies should be. Sick
and stuff. She's great. She's giving Meg a hard time.
TL: Is it good fun being a dad, do you enjoy it?
NG: Er, not at quarter-to-six in the morning I don't, no. When it gets to
about midday it can be a good laugh, but half-five every morning's a bit of
a pain but these things get better as they get older, I'm told.
TL: So what are you going to do, are you going to have loads of kids now, is
that your plan? A big family?
NG: You can never plan these things, can you? But if...[pause]...yeah...if
they come along, yeah.
TL: I was just thinking about this earlier on today, actually, that, because
of your background and everything, how are you going to bring her up? Are
you going to send her to one of those showbiz schools?
NG: Not showbiz schools, no chance.
TL: Are you scared of her becoming on of those showbiz kids which we see...
NG: She's going to be a lawyer. That's where all the money is. Seriously,
[to Anais] if you're listening to a tape of this and it's like 2026..you're
going to be a lawyer.
TL: Would you be really hurt if she became one of those 'It' kids...round
London?
NG: I don't know, I suppose you've just got to let kids take their own path,
haven't ya? As long as her mates aren't knobheads I don't mind what she
does, really. She'll go to the local posh school but it won't be grooming
her for stardom or anything, she'll be a lawyer. She has to be a lawyer. Or,
hopefully, she'll be a lawyer who doubles as a doctor.
TL: That would be a good career move.
NG: Then she can then fuck up operations and not be arsed about getting
sued...take peoples kidneys out and stuff like that.
TL: Has it changed you at all, being a dad?
NG: Erm, yeah because when you're pottering round the house and the baby
starts crying everything comes to a complete and utter standstill. But I
have to say I haven't been a dad in the football season yet and she's about
to learn who actually is the governor in that house. Because it's been fine,
no football; now it's the new football season and we're back in the
Premiership it's gonna be like 'You can cry all you want. You can cry all
you want - we've got a corner.' I get this vision of a Sunday, things coming
out of all orifices and me going, 'Just hang on a minute, love...get
it...oh. you beauty! No, not you!'
TL: So what takes priority now in your life - the band or the kid?
NG: It's gotta be the kid, really. I've given eight, nine years to the band,
it's like...I've said before, when you're 26 and you're not married and
you're single and you're living in London and you've not got a girlfriend
and you're in the biggest band in England that is the time to enjoy stuff
like that, and we did. And then, as you get older, you wanna - I wouldn't
say 'settle down', but I don't want my kids, or any member of my family for
that, getting up at two in the morning and seeing their dad there drunk.
I'll leave that to their Uncle Liam.
TL: So you're back now, fantastically, for us, you're back with the band
doing these gigs, you've done a couple already...
NG: Three
TL: Three...going well?
NG: Brilliant. The first one, in Dublin, the weather wasn't too hot an' that
, it was a bit windy and a bit dull, but I thought it went down really well,
and the first night at Bolton was just one of them gigs...I'd never thought
we'd experience things like that again, it was fantastic. The second night
was just as good but we all had hangovers from the first night, but it was
good, though, So I've got a feeling about these gigs at Wembley, I think
they're going to be brilliant and I think the Reading ones, the festival
ones, are going to be great as well. Everyone's surprisingly relaxed, I
think going onstage at Bolton the other night...usually you can sense any
nerves within the band but everyone's was very, very relaxed, it was good.
TL: So have you officially made up with Liam yet?
NG: No, I haven't made up with him., We're being civilised and polite for
the sake of the people who've been kind enough to buy tickets, but as for
making up...no
TL: But you're brothers, so...
NG: Yeah, so I don't have to make up with him. but still, y'know. Let's put
it this way, I love him, but I don't like him anymore.
TL: Ok, the gigs are obviously getting great reviews - are you getting a
buzz out it?
NG: I always have got a buzz off the gigs...the hour-and -a-half onstage is
fantastic. You get odd nights where things are not right and you wish you
could be somewhere else, but generally I have to say that the
hour-and-a-half onstage is the best part...the only part that makes it
worthwhile. Y'know, I hate travelling, I can't stand it, it gets on my
nerves. I don't see why you should have to get up at six in the morning to
get a flight at four in the afternoon, know what I mean, because you'll sit
in a fucking lounge somewhere for like, nine hours, and then sit on a plane
for ten hours. It's like, will somebody in the University of London Science
invent time travel? Get on with it or something man, it's a pain in the
arse. And the interviews...[in German accent] 'Ah, so Mr Gallagher, I think
your band are not as successful as you once were' 'Really? How did you work
tat one out, Fritz?' 'I have your sales figures in front of me.' 'Really.
Sorry about that.'
TL: Is it more fun with the new line-up?
NG: Listen - to be honest with you, the only reason I went back is for the
new line-up. I do love Gem and Andy, they're top geezers and they shouldn't
have been allowed to see what went on that night in Barcelona because it was
like...it was not nice. And I suppose it reaffirmed all their fears about
what it was actually like. So they shouldn't have been allowed to see that.
But y'know we're not robots, we're human beings but, y'know, they are two of
the best guys I've ever played with. And if two guys ever deserved to be in
a band that has the stature of Oasis then it's those two. They're supercool
