To mark the release of his fourth album with The High Flying Birds, 'Council Skies', Noel Gallagher sat down with NME to talk about going back to his childhood roots, working with Johnny Marr and The Cure's Robert Smith, his thoughts on the AI-generated Oasis album, Britpop reunions, previous flaws on his record, The 1975 and the state of guitar music, and how to fix Brexit Britain

When Noel’s talking about hating ‘Morning Glory’ he doesn’t mean he hates the music, he means the mix and the fact he thinks he rushed the writing of some songs. Still the best Oasis album for me.

I just came to these comments to find someone else puzzling over that! The way he phrased it was so vague I wasn't even sure he was being negative, but yeah I think he was dismissing it, right..? Because yes, I swear I first heard Noel talk about this "killer song" he'd written called Stop The Clocks in an interview 20 years ago somewhere between, oh, Heathen Chemistry and Don't Believe The Truth, so 2003ish... or maybe even one album cycle earlier, perhaps circa 2001. But for whatever reason it never made whichever album that was, or the one after, or even as a bonus new track on their first singles compilation _despite lending its name to that compilation_ in what seemed an absolute open goal missed, considering it was apparently _the_ great lost Oasis song. And so it made perfect sense that Noel would finally release it when he eventually started a solo career. So it feels very disconcerting that he now appears to be anti it, after all that buildup .

The problem is he has a big gob and bad attitude with zero respect. Lots of uneducated males like him do. We grew up in Burnage 5 minutes from his house and that area is full of theiving violent lads with no respect. Its an attitude problem common with males growing up in big urban cities (ie, booze/violence/drugs/theiving) etc. Always mouthing off & bullying others. And always have a cynical negative attitude. But he's an old man now so you'd think he'd have matured by now. He clearly hasn't and still behaving like a teenage thug. Still plagiarising other musicians songs as well (ripped off other people's work now in about 40 of his songs).
