I like The Good Rebel. Sure, it's repetitive, but the drifting nature feels lonely and desperate, and suits the lyrics quite well.  |

I wonder what the reaction of this forum will be if he only plays NGHFB songs on part 2 of his tour.

I love the Oasis songs and obviously waited for them when I went see him, but I think he already has enough solo material to do that. The thing for me is that it seems he chose, like, 15 Oasis songs that he likes and he just mixes them up from time to time. Since 2006 he's been playing Good to be Free, Talk Tonight, Fade Away... these are great songs, but it can get really boring after a while. So, I'm not sure it would bother me that much. |

Here's a Candle is such a fun little tune. I can't help but tap my foot, sing along, and whistle to that little kazoo solo, whenever I give it a listen. It's not one of Noel's best at all, but it's the perfect B-side, and it's awesome to hear Noel have fun with his songs.

Let the Lord Shine a Light on Me is massively underrated.

Listening to the album version of If I Had A Gun again. It sounds so flat and muddy. Dave Sardy sucks.

That BBC radio 2 version is the best fucking version of that song. A great gig overall. Loved the jazzy What A Life, the rocky Sad Song, Slide Away.. Absolutely fantastic. |

WARNING: Massively unpopular opinion coming up!!!
Like The Beatles, Noel needs to quit touring to maximise the potential of songs in the studio and use it as a superpowered instrument in itself, rather than diluting songs to a dull plod so as to merely replicate in the arena.
I mean, he just needs to listen David Bowie's new album.........

He's sadly not gonna do any of what you suggested. I wish he would. The AA project didn't need to be toured or promoted. Just make it a $9 digital download on NoelGallagher.com. Avoid any potential "bad" reviews by just having it feel like an off the cuff fan gift. All problems solved.  |

Let the Lord Shine a Light on Me is massively underrated. I agree completely. That should have made the album, and been the second-to-last track, with A Simple Game of Genius as the closer. Noel takes a different direction with LTLSALOM that previews the space jazz and atmosphere-dominant works that would come with Chasing Yesterday. That middle 8 is downright awesome with the female singer. It's almost sounds like Noel doing something his own version of The Great Gig in the Sky, but there are many aspects of the song that make it uniquely his. Listening to the album version of If I Had A Gun again. It sounds so flat and muddy. Dave Sardy sucks. Ehhh, it is a bit flat and muddy, but not a bad listen on headphones with the different layers added in, and the strong songwriting, specifically the beautiful melody, works through that to make the album version have a strong redeeming factor in that regard. |

His solo career is fine but come the third album, if he is merely treading out the same thing he did on the first album, then any hope of him EVER doing something even mildly different that isn't a rehash of previous efforts will be vanished for good. People don't buy albums to hear familiar stuff that has all been heard before (and all better as a matter of fact), we buy it for new sensations, which is why many great artists try things new all the time. If not, people just get bored. |

If not, people just get bored. I also hope that Noel isn't gonna keep writing the same style songs forever, even if he hires a new producer to give them a new sound. That's what Beady Eye did with BE, and as much it was an improvement over DGSS, I couldn't help but think that some of the tunes, such as Iz Rite and I'm Just Saying, didn't work because Sitek's spacey production didn't suit what were obviously meant to be chaotic rock songs. If Noel continues to write the same songs over and over again, no matter what guise he puts on those songs, it will still sound very repetitive. And the most frustrating thing is that we all know that Noel has the skills to come up with something experimental. Listen to Setting Sun, Teotihuacan, Let Forever Be, Fuckin' in the Bushes, Gas Panic, The Hindu Times demo, The Cage, High Horse Lady, Falling Down, any of his AA remixes, Alone on the Rope, Let the Lord, The Right Stuff, and the remix album he put out last year. It's a real shame that this side of him rarely ever shows itself on his studio albums. |

It's a real shame that this side of him rarely ever shows itself on his studio albums. Also, listen to the Paul Weller tune Echoes Round The Sun - the backing track (i.e. the instrumental) is Noel's. It is excellent musicianship from Noel - neo-psychedelia that incorporates more modern electro influences. It's brilliant, and I think if Noel based his songs around similar instrumentals as opposed to the conventional method of writing on an acoustic guitar, then I think he would be more than capable of delivering something different AND excellent. Teotihuacan is another example of an instrumental that was given away. What he's said in interviews about the new album is a bit encouraging, but I fear he is like post-2000 U2 in trying to water down the contents to fit a mainstream audience. |

Whatever your expectations are for Noel's third album, divide that in half.  |

What's the problem with Noel's setlist? He's playing with a band. They can't rehearse fifty different songs for every tour.
