I imagine Noel in his studio over the last few years, tinkering away on his new songs. For a while he was just writing using his bass, inspired by disco. After playing around with a drum machine he comes up with a song that sounds like The Cure. He buys a 303 synth and spends a weekend playing with it trying to emulate that acid house sound he loved so much when out clubbing as a teenager. Now and again to let off steam he records a cover. One day Dylan, another day Fleetwood Mac. He goofs around doing David Bowie impressions. He spends a morning bantering on the phone to David Holmes discussing a remix he’s working on. Hopefully they can line up their calendars to meet for a session again soon. Holmes has just discovered some rare krautrock vinyl albums he can’t wait for Noel to hear. One afternoon Noel gets stoned listening to jazz. For a laugh he bangs out a tune on the piano that sounds like Sun Ra. … And then after all that experimentation and wild sounds that may rival the Beatles best work he comes up with pretty boy and easy now. He needs to go back to the studio, squint his eyes and think to himself "What would Andy Morris do?"  |

 Well, they will be on my tracklist instead of PT et EN already. They're probably from the same batch of recording session anyway. They're not tbh, his studio wasn't ready at the time Ok, thanx for the explanation. But wasn't it the case too for the two other demos ? I'd surprised if the 'Get there' and 'trying to find' are vastly different from the one we know already. Maybe strings sections and guitars solos added. |

Studio was ready in late 2020, so the two demos (especially Trying) could've easily been recorded there, the songs from Back the Way We Came were done at Brendan Lynch's in the summer of 2020 I expect some additions to We're Gonna Get There In The End, some more guitars, maybe a brass section. Trying to Find will be more or less the same, although the album one seems to be longer |

While I don't particularly want an Oasis reunion because I feel it would be a bit of a cash grab and I like getting two albums every few years instead of just one from them I do have a feeling that Noel's next record will be an Oasis one. This album sounds like it will be very much a return to what Noel's done in the past and if that's the route he's going down now I figure he'll come to the conclusion that he might as well stick the Oasis label on the next one, let Liam sing the songs and make a bucket load of money.
I don't want it to happen though. If i thought Noel was sitting on an albums worth of quality Oasis sounding songs that he's just been holding back because they don't fit the direction he's gone in as a solo artist I'd be all for an Oasis reunion, but I don't think he has, he hasn't been writing that way for a while. All of his best Oasis leftovers went on his first two solo albums. If they were to do another album together again I couldn't see Noel being particularly inspired and he's prob just record those Oasis leftovers like Slow and maybe top it up with some uninspired new songs that he'd force himself to write in the Oasis style because that would be the expectation, they'd probably sound forced and we'd end up with something analogous to Heathen Chemistry.
Either that or he'd carry on writing as he is and we'd get something like Chasing Yesterday but with Liam singing most of the songs and in which case what's the point? I'd rather just get 2 albums from the brothers every few years instead of just one. All this is before mentioning the fact that of all the Gallagher gigs I've been to since 2008 when I was old enough to go the worst 2 by far were the Oasis ones on the DOYS tour where they went through the motions and looked like they didn't want to be there.

An Oasis reunion tour/music is at best 2-3 years away. Noel is going to be very very busy.

I was quite impressed that he announced his divorce to coincide with album announcement. The Sun articles about the video shoot salaciously pointing out he wasn’t wearing a wedding ring, all helping to drive clicks to the presales. He’s been around the block when it comes to this! X |

60 is the new 40 though, in good shape according to recent interviews.
Works out on the reg, just got that bad back, he's had that for a lil while.

Don’t you remember his doctor told him he would “drop dead” if he didn’t sort himself out a few years ago? Years of coke abuse doesn’t give you a healthy ticker later in life. Not sure he could survive another afterparty with Liam. X |

Noel and Liam both know that their absolute best source of marketing is Liam's Twitter account. Even if they are on good terms, they'll play around for a little bit. Can't blame them. Particularly if they get bites from tabloids. It’s amazing how much press a Liam tweet can generate considering he probably fired it off while sat on the toilet between pints. X |

Of course I remember, he gave up Coke at 33 years of age in 2000 for that reason and he never went back to addiction.
Millions of people do a shit load of Coke (look at Jagger, Richards, Townshend, Dylan: name virtually any rock star aprt from those who profess to be "straight edge") they all seem to be completely fine in to their 60s, 70s and beyond.
Tom Petty was playing a dangerous game and dealing with a heart condition but he seems to be an exception, and was over 10 years older than Noel
FYI Jimmy Page turned 77 yesterday he did far more coke for longer, and more of it. And later traded coke for heroin for a few years which Noel never did, and he's showing no aparentr ill effects for all the shit he did to his body.

Well the Led Zep concert reunion DVD CD from 2008, which Noel was at, at the 02 -or whenever it was. If that counts, ha.
The last good tune was the one with Puff Daddy from Godzilla probs.
It wasn't yesterday either.. I'm tired, Was Jan though.

So Kashmir, 1975! Jimmy Page, The Stones, The Who… these are not good arguments for late career highlights Teo. I don’t want Oasis reforming and coming out with a Bridges To Babylon. X |

I hated that song actually, Guff Daddy not Kashmir, but it was a big hit. Bigger than any NG song he could release today, depressingly.

And more importantly, does Noel *want* the pressure of writing the Oasis comeback record? I'm not sure about that honestly Few days ago i would have said the same. But divorces change everything. Noel has known he’s been divorcing Sara for a long, long time. He didn’t just decide it a few days ago. And what did he do in that time? Work on a solo album and arrange his next solo tour… X |

I have the cassette somewhere in the house I don't know about you but Jimmy Page seemed positively ancient in Summer 1998 when this was released to coincide with that Godzilla movie. Page was 54 years old at the time, and Noel is about to turn FIFTY-SIX in May. |
