Noel is so comfortable in his own skin, and speaks so genuinely in this interview. You almost never hear celebrity types speak like this - they always trying to portray an image rather than be who they really are

that jacket is boss

What an interview. I have seen thousands of Oasis and Noel interviews, but this one has compelled me to make my first ever KZfaq comment. It's like he's just having a chat with a mate. Brilliant.

Nice jacket

hard to comprehend this interview is nearly 20 years old

Definitely the best interview. You don't catch Noel like this now.

This is the most honest interview I've seen from Noel. He was clearly in a bit of a spiral of self doubt, probably because coming off the drugs, probably because the music world had changed around him, probably because the band was collapsing around him. There's always been this bravado which I guess comes from the sense that he escaped the dreadful upbringing he had so anything after that is a bonus, but he's genuinely vulnerable here. He has something to lose at this point and is in danger of losing it, and doesn't have the 'toot' to help charisma his way through it. It's fascinating and really just, I guess, normal human.

Noel G always does great interviews, but I think this is the best one I've ever seen. And I have watched and listened to every interview I could find. He's a total straight shooter. This was a great time in his career to talk to him, and the interviewer was asking him interesting questions. I learned a lot about what he thought and how he felt about a bunch of stuff. I really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for posting this. Peace.

16:22 when he says that people don't like him anymore... This is the best interview, he is so sincere here, it is like I am standing beside him on this balcony chatting) I don't think now it is possible to get such an interview from him. He is more entertaining now and closed. Thanks for upload, amazing video

Morning Glory has sold 23 million now

love Noels voice in every situation

Most insightful interview I've ever heard from him. It's really interesting hearing his comments about Liam not being able to sing as well as he used to, cause I was wondering about that. He still sounds great in the studio, but that's the studio..not 2 hours of live singing

i actually met noel a few months after this and he had this jacket on

Fucking brilliant interview, one of the best one he's ever done. Love his haircut and jacket. Could listen to him talk for hours and hours.

brilliant interview, never heard him actually talk about liams voice so honesty. Loved Beady Eye but there was gigs when liam sounded completely done.

Good stuff Noel. Always love his honesty. Must have been a worrying time for him back then after Be Here Now. 15 years later and he's writing songs like "The Ballad of The Mighty I" and "While the song remains the same". He's still got it big time!!

I enjoy watching noel Gallagher's interviews, watching his body language give away clues of the future...for example, when he says he doesn't care if the album doesn't sell well, then he bites his nails, feeling anxious, in which he does want it to do well. It things like that, if you listen closely he tells and acts the true story of what goes on behind the scenes.

Interviewers great, clearly actually into the band

Noel really outdoes himself here, there's this combination of all the human traits and attitudes, all rolled into one, and they pop out one after the other. And he talks about stuff all musicians are fascinated by. But it's the vibe of the guy which overides everything....Cool, unassuming, humble, real. He's said some stuff about Harry lately I think could have been left out. But this is the great music man at his finest.

His best interview ever. So honest. You can clearly see he does not take drugs any more. To the point that he looks kinda depressed. Thoughts?

What a great interview! thanks for sharing with us

Great interview. Thanks 🇨🇦

Really enjoyed that. Great interview.

Best interview I’ve seen. Class!

the best interview i ever seen !! fullstop!! goodstuff

Great sound on this interview.

Great interview, really enjoyed this. It's almost pessimistic in a way, a bit sad to see him saying that Oasis had blown it in the late 90s. Was thinking that you'd never get Noel saying that in the British press at the time, where he was still cocky and that. Seems like he's really speaking his mind here

This is a great interview. Really feels like a moment.

huh brilliant interview, thanks!

that was a proper interview, probably the best i've seen from the earlier years, honest and very open from Noel

one of the most candid interviews by Noel, ever.

Best interview I’ve ever seen with Noel ! Brilliant, hair is sick here too

great interview with a great interviewer, you can tell he’s a proper fan

aww he is so cute he is like a baby owl ugh

God-like when he talks about his songwriting as off ~min. 30. Genius. Thank you for sharing this vid!

thanks really good interview ..

11yrs we had to wait for that solo album

I seen them on this tour, in Landstown road was my first time to see them I was 16. They were unreal 👌 haven't seen anything like that day again musically and iv seen a lot of acts some day☘️

Thanks for sharing aww Pls dont ever delete this

Hes hard on himself. Be here now is fuckin great. God compared to today its like a fuckin diamond. I always loved that album.

So calm, like he’s talking to a mate. He’s real. And good questions from the interviewer for once.

Best Noel Gallagher interview ever!

great interview

Brilliant interview. The best. Honest, reflective and not trying to say controversial stuff.

Great interview

The realist in the music industry. Doesn’t care about imagine, or any of that shit. He’s just him.

LOL, waiting for the tape to rewind...The good days...

Great to see noel more vulnerable and humble . Fatherhood probably made him more humble. I think when he met his wife sara in 2000. He was a lot happier. And went back to being more confident.

No time wasted listening to this lad.

Great find!

This must be amazing I haven’t seen this much positive comments in a long time, I’m making time to see this.

Cool to hear him talking about Liam’s voice. Liam’s singing style was never destined for longevity, it’s “technically wrong” as a “voice coach” would say. Was only a matter of time. All the more reason to be happy we got the songs and performances we did when we did. On track forever.

Great honest interview

perfect hair!!

From 38min until 41.30 min this is a good reason / example why i fucking love this guy

This might be on one of the best Oasis interviews I have ever seen, all these many years...

You can tell he was really angry at the world on that time. Also he knew his glory days as a songwriter were over and he was so honest about it....Now you listen to his interviews and he is a totally different person....

I can listen to this guy forever 🍻💪🏼

never seen this interview and Ive seen a lot of the earlier ones! respeck to the uploader x

Wow. I stopped part way in and read all the comments before watching the rest. Everyone says the same - a very honest and sometimes quite touching interview. Do you think he points to a solo future a few times?

44 minutes any old skool Oasis fan must watch and will certainly appreciate.

Cool guy, cool interview...

"it is about the fans, it is giving them a good record and a good night out ...gigs are a night out, listening to records is MUSIC" ... looove this lyrics and music writer - me encanta este tio!..the more i know him the more i like him. From all my best and favourites musicians, he is the first whose solo albums have not desaponting AT ALL, the opposite. Well done Noel; do you get to know about these comments by the way? ... hope so any way. You are really good sure you know... it makes me feel good the fact that i like your music, your taste, your feel, and attitude to it! grrr keep fishing for songs and record something soon .. need new good tunes for my running!

Good to know im not the only one with books and pages of lyrics that ''we all go to'' when in need of inspiration although im still yet to put one together i have stacks of lyrics i could organise into a song or Album lol Great Interview this is

He is right, Oasis did completely change after bonehead and guigs left. Their sound and Noel’s song writing changed from supersonic to songs like Gas panic and so on.

very good questions

It's very interesting to first whatch the 1998 Hongkong album and now this one

Still One of the Greatest Music Writers

I love hearing these interviews from back then and hearing him now. He is way more insightful than I ever gave him credit for back in the 90's. He is a brilliant artist and the thing is, can back up his confidence or arrogance with great product and at the end day all you can say is " Fucking hell mate, that's Fucking Brilliant". Great raw interview thank you for posting this...

Great interview, never seen this before. Love finding stuff on Oasis from this period as it was when I first got into them.

Got a thick sound and dont go away is great all around the world dya know what i mean magic pie so many more

Amazing

15 years ago!!

Open and kinda laid back interview. Love that Adidas jacket. Some good interviews from that time man. Jon Savage with Kurt Cobain etc. 👍

brilliant

best quote of all time "it's like riding a bike ..y'know ya do forget how to do it" noel 2000

I saw The Who at Shepherd's Bush Empire in '99. I think Noel was there the 2nd night. He's right, they were great.

Damn that was an honest interview.

Well, Liam did go on to sing Some Might Say again in his solo career.

Having a kid I now know how hard it must have been for Noel to be away from his baby.

Noel is the best song writer to come out of England 🇬🇧

Feb 2000 at a guess? Great interview. Seen a couple of comments about the jacket as well, I have to agree it's fucking great!

Love it

If you listen to him then compared to now it’s evident his persona has changed.

SOTSOG seems like a comedown on an album. I think Noel struggled to come to terms with the "magic" of the first 2/3 albums not being there anymore in these days.

Thunderbirds are go!

As a Leeds fan, I fucking love his jacket

Be Here Now is a great album - always thought Noel was overly harsh about it

Oasis did change the world but they don't get any credit for it

It's very interesting to see how Noel's English has changed over the years... Today it's a little different and more comprehensible than back then 🤔👍

Great interview! Worth the watch. Here is a much more mature Noel. Maybe having a baby made him grow up a lot at the time.

I never got the Beatles comparison but noel did say I write songs that sound like the Beatles and the stones.

Can anyone tell me the model of the camera used to film this? I really like this type of film quality but can't figure it out exactly. Thanks.

I can see a liar is a rocking tune not bothered about the lyrics

I thought Liam's voice on the Familiar to Millions DVD concert was still great by this time. Surprised to hear he couldn't sing "Some Might Say" anymore. I think it's also the 1st time i've ever heard Noel admit Liam couldn't sing a certain song

He looks like what he always does. A Thunderbird puppet!

Im here for that jacket.

Noel seems very grounded in this interview, compared to interviews 5 to 6 years prior

The world's changed so much since 2000 and that period, and not for the better. Such a brilliant time to be around and that music scene, before auto-tune and myriad of other technologies had really kicked in. Noel's always been a great in interviews and still is!

I love him cool intelligence the full package no 1 all hail Mr noal Gallagher
