Yeh he's got a new girlfriend called Sally apparently. Nah that’s bollocks. The Sun had an article last year about Noel having a girlfriend called Sally. Apparently that isn’t her real name but I’d say Matt and Noel just ran with it to try and get the papers to print it. They regularly say shit to try and get the journalists who listen to the pod to print random nonsense. It’s being going on for years.Matt was vox popped by Q years again after a gig in Amsterdam and he gave some pretentious dismissive review of the gig and they printed it. Ah ok  |

Quotes are all over the usual suspects (Sun, Mail etc.) If I had to guess though I'd say he's got someone, she's just not called Sally I think your last sentence is spot on. Noel seems to be in a great mood these days in interviews and stuff. It’s great. You can tell he was in a shit place during the pandemic. The fan backlash to Who Built the Moon and then the marital problems. Must have been a shit few years. |

Obviously some fans who wanted a more guitar orientated feel but except some hardcore I don't remember a big backlash. |

… dunno…not next year cos then I’d have to go back out on tour next year and I’m not doing that. 2026 maybe? This is the bit that annoys me. I never really believed he would do an acoustic album, so not too disheartened by that being “scrapped”. But this is so frustrating. Why can’t he just record and release an album without touring? I thought the whole point of building the studio was to increase his output? Well it seems totally pointless if we’re going to get the same 3-4 year release gaps (if he says 2026 then it will be 2027). Coldplay released Ghost Stories in 2014, didn’t tour it.. then released that Head Full Of Dreams album the following year and toured that. If Noel did something similar he can play tunes from both albums giving everyone more songs to hear live for the first time. And at 57 he is more than justified not touring. The Beatles stopped in their 20’s! Its either a dogmatic view. Or an excuse to not to release stuff. Thanks for writing it all down by the way! Yeah he was asked that. Said what's the point of writing a load of songs and putting them out there and then wondering what people think of them. Said he likes going on tour. Then gives RAH as an example of how good it is to see people enjoying your songs and how that reaction is what makes the writing of the album all worthwhile. Then says he'll eventually get to an age where he won't physically be able to do it so he wants to do it. |

There was a fair backlash on social media. You still see people in this very thread saying they don’t want any more Who Built the Moon style stuff. |

Acoustic album wasn't fussed over but a rock album excites me even less. When you hear stuff like Lock All The Doors and You Know We Can't Go Back it's like..... what's the point? I can hear better, more raucous songs in that vein from 20 years previously and it's not serving any purpose aside from repeating old tricks but sounding a hell of a lot more tired. And clean. Too clean. Sure, if he turns the guitars up to 11, runs reckless with reverb and gets Liam to sing, then I'm on board. If you don't him doing acoustic stuff and you don't want him doing rock stuff, then what do you want? |

I love those two songs and also Do The Damage so for me if Noel releases more songs like those then so be it. |

If you don't him doing acoustic stuff and you don't want him doing rock stuff, then what do you want? Well I'd prefer a new album with David Holmes, something more technicolour and ambitious rather than rehashes of the same songs. Doesn't have to be electro influenced, I want a pop album (with the kitchen sink thrown at it), and some psychedelic soundscapes ala Man Who Built The Moon. Very melodic songs like Sail On, A Dream Is All I Need To Get By, If Love Is The Law.... play to his strengths. Noel can't rock, he needs Liam for that and to be 30 years younger, and an acoustic album would be too samey. A bit of ambition in the studio, with something more sonically interesting, is what I'm asking. |

Please tell me which psychedelic pop albums Coldplay have released because I must have missed them. |

What would a “Noel Rock” album look like? Let’s cobble one together from his solo career.
Everybody’s On The Run
(Stranded On) The Wrong Beach
In The Heat of The Moment
Lock All The Doors
You Know We Can’t Go Back
Do The Damage
Freaky Teeth
The Man Who Built The Moon
Come On Outside
Love Is A Rich Man

Everybody’s On The Run (Stranded On) The Wrong Beach In The Heat of The Moment Lock All The Doors You Know We Can’t Go Back Do The Damage Freaky Teeth The Man Who Built The Moon Come On Outside Love Is A Rich Man Yeah this is the blueprint I reckon since he's ruled out DM style rock. I'm happy with that. |

As for my #1, it's probably between that and Riverman |

Entitled to your opinion of course but the frustrating thing is I fucking love that album and all his EPs and want him to try new things to his hearts content, but Noel doesn't listen to the fans who love it. He listens to you lot who think it's shit. So we get acoustic. We get ballads. We get safe and sound. Even in this podcast he told Matt not to get too excited, cos it's not like he's writing Bring It On Down or Welcome To The Jungle (joke obv). So he's no doubt gonna write something plodding to stay safe and not upset anyone. He did make a joke about it being more like Welcome To The Rotisserie In Waitrose which was pretty funny. But still...irks me the way he takes criticism so much to heart. It's not like the criticism makes him a better artist or anything. I'd be happy if he writes stuff along the lines of Full On and Do The Damage.Thats gotta be a wind up? 😂😂 I've always liked DTD pretty well. Is that an unpopular opinion? |

As fun as it was to get all those EP songs trickling out every months, I do sort of wish he'd held onto them and made COUNCIL SKIES a double album. |

As long as it isn't produced by Dave Sardy, he can record whatever album he wants.
