Latest post from Gaz, with a new video from the recording sessions! Worth watching to the end...
"Here's a video I made specifically from studio footage to credit the uncredited musicians ( their details were ' mysteriously 'omitted from the artwork ) for SHOOT A HOLE INTO THE SUN 'by' Noel Gallagher & the Amorphous Androgynous . I had in mind an edit once Noel had looked at it cos I was interested in condensing not gratuitously sprawling ... sadly we never got that far and it remained as an 8 minute sprawl .Shame cos a simple edit would have taken it into weirdo pop realms . Here's the musicians we employed and collaged for IF I HAD A GUN . We created SHOOT A HOLE INTO THE SUN from all those parts & in direct response to Noel referring to our album in the press as sounding like DARK SIDE OF THE MOON so we decided we needed to break out a little ๐ from solely working on his songs ... KEZ GUNES - Bass Terry KILBRIDE - drums / congas Jerome O'Connell - cello Paul Stacey - guitar Mikey Rowe - harpsichord Rainy moor - Hammond Alisha Sufit - vocals Linda Lewis- vocals Noel's computer technician on lap steel ( not sure of his name ) Oh and my backing vocals gaz x"

Someone asked Gaz if the album artwork was completed and he replied: "No but one day in the studio Noel announced ' it's now gonna be a double album and Storm Thorgesson ( RIP now ) will do the artwork ' which would have iced it" (mossy note: Storm did most of Pink Floyd's album covers. And some Muse ones) Double Album? Good artwork? That really doesn't sound like our Noel... Believe it or not, it is his words. Noel was pretty damn complicated in regards to the AA sessions.

Someone should try to bribe Gaz with a bag full of LSD and anti-vaccine literature to see if we can convince him to leak the stuff. The guy is clearly dying to show the world how the sessions went.

This video will come in handy when the album inevitably gets released in 15/20 years (I can already picture a white-haired, more wrinkly Noel looking bored and saying "Those fucking hippies were getting on my tits and the album is shit. But it's money for old rope now, innit?" just before the video starts). Gaz was clearly thinking forward here.

He said that Noel may get legal with him if he ever does anything remotely leaky about the AA sessions. So really, he can't. Which is a damn shame.

Unfortunately Gaz has said multiple times on Facebook he won't leak it as it's Noel's material and he has a sense of honour about these things. That and he doesn't want to get sued ;-) So our only hope is an anniversary addition or Mean Mrs. Mustard and her catsuit...

I really like Shoot A Hole Into The Sun.
And clearly so did Noel as he used it as his intro music for HUNDREDS of gigs!

Like flying a plane over Twickenham stadium in July and releasing thousands of CDs in and around the stadium during the HFB gig with U2?

This makes me so angry and sad. We'll probably get another dadrock album. You can see he is close friends with Bono.

Have Noels people already got involved?!

Has anyone asked him straight up what the tracklist was? I know he's said 'NGHFB' copied their tracklist but we've also heard things about double albums and many more songs. Perhaps I haven't followed the story quite right and maybe there is no clear cut answer but a little more clarification would be very welcomed.

Someone did and he gave a sarcastic answer along the lines of "would you like a free copy of the Supersonic DVD too"

He also expressed shock that someone knew the title "Crimson Rambler" obviously forgetting it was he himself who mentioned it in an old FB post!

More:
"To anyone just joining the party we created the above from only the chorus of one of our two mixes of IF I HAD A GUN which followed his song ( verses / choruses etc )"
"And sigh ... Our two ' straight ' versions were some of the best things we've done ( in the rawk n roll sphere that is ๐๐๐๐"
" Shoot a hole was an afterthought ( I say afterthought but after reading Noel in Mojo describe our album as DARK SIDE OF MOON I had a rush and worked for a week solid ( without sleep on several nights ) to do this ... Even Brian who always encourages every rabbit hole said ' why ? When we have two brilliant versions of GUN already !' when I sent it to him he came aboard cos I was just playing it down the phone ranting about FLOYD until he heard it properly๐๐๐๐๐๐๐"

Following on from Gaz's mention of dynamics above. I remember Noel said something to the effect that the reference CD of the AA mixes was "the quietest CD ever", to the extent that he thought it was broken. Noel: "Initially when they delivered it they managed to pull off the trick of recording the quietest CD of all time,โ he said. โWhen I got it I couldnโt hear it and was like, โIs it broke?โ" Source: www.nme.com/news/music/noel-gallagher-163-1217667It was probably just transferred at a lower average level than he's used to, i.e. with enough headroom to accomodate the dynamics Gaz describes. The Stone Roses' debut is also very dynamic with lots of headroom, so benefits from increasing the volume on playback. The AA mixes were probably un-mastered as well, so they would already be at a lower level than modern commercial releases.
