Doesn't Noel have a track record of leaving people he was close to behind when it suits him? As he's said before "I'm a cat"...

I did an interview in Q magazine about recording Be Here Now……..I basically said all the worst things…… Alan McGee had slagged me off enough times……so I thought I’d better get all the digs in at my expense by myself. Cos nobody can slag me off better than I can manage myself, thank you very much.
You know what?
Alan McGee has said in interviews how “out of control” I apparently was on the Be Here Now sessions. Well, I have to ask? Alan McGee was the head of the record company. Why didn’t he do something about the “out of control” record producer”? Obviously, the one not in control was the head of the record company.
If Alan McGee had any idea of what had been going on behind the scenes with the band on the day and night before the one time he could be bothered to actually visited the studio (and what was happening was very personal, but meant a few of us had been up all night trying to take care of events)……well….he wasn’t there…..how could he possibly have any idea whatsoever about those recording sessions? Or any of my Oasis sessions for that matter.
I was there. I worked every single day on that record: which absolutely no-one else did.
Marcus Russell once said to me that everyone can fuck off about Be Here Now: it’s sold 9 million copies.
See? That wasn’t so bad was it? (It’s just Rock ‘n Roll) |

Maybe he had issues with both Noel and Alan but who really knows the truth? But I agree that article does sound like he had issues with Alan.

Pretty sure Supersonic mentioned around 1996 Alan McGee lost the plot, this would suggest he was totally absent for the Be Here Now album and tour cycle. Quite what the entire context of that was I'm not sure.
I think the band were hell bent on enjoying their fame and making the most of it and Owen Morris was a big part of that, certainly with regards to recording the albums. No one could have controlled those sessions IMO.

Worth remembering that McGee was himself just coming back after a drink and drug inspired breakdown.
I spoke to him at an event a few years ago and he said the day he went into the studio they were recording It’s Getting Better Man and he recalled it was just Liam singing It’s getting better man over and over again - which made him worried about the overall quality of the record. But he said they’d just sold millions of copies of Morning Glory so no one was really questioning anything at that point.
In terms of Noel, I think he just wanted to try and distance himself from Be Here Now because it was perceived as a failure - which meant ditching Owen Morris along the way.

Yeah, I agree with you about Alan McGee and him coming out of a drink and drug inspired breakdown. But I still think that there could be a bit of beef between him and Owen Morris but like I said who really knows what went on? |
