So refreshing having an intelligent and thoughtful interviewer interviewing an intelligent and thoughtful man.

I've been listening to Oasis for almost 20 years and being a 35 year old man, it still baffles me how much there's still left to learn from Noel's wisdom.

Man, the way he talks about his wife at the end is simply poetry.

This is a lovely interview. Noel clearly likes and respects Gabriel Byrne, who is a wonderful interviewer.

As a 37yo man, always loved Oasis. But never realized how insightful and genuine a guy, Noel Gallagher is/was. Fab interview.

Noel is on a whole different level, all on his own.

22:30 - "I believe in love more than anything else in the world" And that, kids, is why love is the answer. This is an excellent interview. Noel is erudite, respectful and sincere. I was watching the 1996 interview with Gay Byrne, and hoped to find a follow-up. And I found it it. A very good interview, chaired by a very good interviewer.

as near to total honesty as ive ever heard him speak.... he was in the moment..... and he looked like he enjoyed the depth he was taken to. what a brilliant interviewer Gabriel Byrne is.

Great interview, very insightful. Gay Byrne (RIP) was a tough interviewer when he wanted, was known to ask difficult questions and put his interviewees under pressure. But you could see there was a respect here. And Noel of course is well able to handle himself

The goat of songwriting and coolness and interviews

Excellent interview, they seem to have total respect for each other...

Gabriel Byrne was one of the best broadcasters in the whole of International TV, not just Ireland. I only wish we had The Late, Late Show in the U.K. so I could have appreciated him more.

A genuine guy & you can see he’d make a great friend. No moaning about his upbringing or family, no hang-ups, he knows he’s blessed with a great wife & kids👍👍👍

This gentleman is one of the best interviewers i’ve seen yet. Noel is interesting too. Perhaps because so…

Bloody love that man, his thoughts and his work! Enjoyed that 😊

Could listen to Noel all day.👍

What a GREAT interview!!!! BRAVO to Noel and Mr. Byrne. I have enourmous respect for Noel Gallagher.

This was so great. Thankyou for posting!

GLG you are wonderful. Thanks for these gems.

I know this is an old interview, such a shame that Noel and Sara didn’t ultimately last, but this is the most real I have ever heard Noel in an interview. Gay Byrne proving as always what a fantastic interviewer he was. I am a massive fan of the Gallagher brothers, and whilst it would be great to see Oasis live again, I just hope the brothers get back on speaking terms for their own sakes.

Thanks for sharing!

Noel is one of my favourite humans ever.

"There's only one expert today in being me, and that's me"

A brilliant interview from an exceptional artist. Well done.

I love these interviews and Noel is such a great guy.

There was nothing on TV to watch tonight so I watched this. No, I was drawn to this and other Noel interviews. I don’t know why, but I really like listening to him, and of course, his music.

That lad is a legend , he deserves everything hes got ,good lad 👍👍👍

what a great interviewer

I have a lot of love for this man. He's the reason I picked up a guitar. Still playing now its better than any drug out there once you get going. ✌🧡

I really like this guy. So down to earth.

Noel had great reverence for Gay Byrne and was on the Late late Show a number of times, he still goes on it even now.

Big respect for this bloke.....

A very honest assessment by Noel an interesting interview

Genius and wit par excellence 💘

What A wonderful Character This Man Is,,, My Mother was From Charlestown Mayo Too/ Evelyn Casey Casey's Hardware On Main Street God Bless Noel

Born in Withington Manchester in 1973 not far from Liam's, both my parents Irish came back to Ireland soon after that .. same surname but no relation .. still have a strong feeling of belonging to Manchester and stronger when I go back,, a great city ... there is a few of us Gallaghers knocking about lol

Growing up in a southern Baptist church in the heart of the Bible belt (Texas), I've encountered SO many people who could really learn a thing of two from this interviewer. At NO point is Noel on the defensive. Why? Because there's not a SHRED of judgement coming from the man asking the questions. He doesn't have any sort of agenda. He's not on some mission to save Noel. He's not trying to passive-aggressively PREACH at Noel. He's just simply asking questions. Love it!

Brilliant interviewer

Really loved this.❤

25:00 my favorite part😂😂

Great interview..👍🇦🇺

What a great interviewer !!! Helps Noel to get in touch with quite personal stuff

Interesting fact. The interviewer is Gay Byrne, who presented The Late Late Show in Ireland. The first ever TV performance that The Beatles did was on The Late Late Show and they actually asked Gay to be their manager.

Noel has such a beautiful mind.. I wish I had them

Absolutely a top man

13:51 the best line during this interview

Noel Gallagher - Very Best of British.

❤

He's Alright!

Very sensible bloke

I have some Oasis albums. They are a famous band. I support Scottish soccer. I know Man City is Noel's fave side. I like Aberdeen, Ross County, and Inverness CT.

I like Noel...He's entertaining to listen too...Liam grates...I could have been a bigger fan but I couldn't get past Liams pretence...I wish I'd seen them live in a small pub gig before the stadiums...I may have warmed...I don't know...I have friends who loved them

Nealy swore at 0.39 😂

Noel legend.

I used to sneak out of school at dinner time to go the chippy and sneak back in right laugh

Let Us In...

Well said - believe in love, there is nothing better on this planet than true, heartfelt love, hence if God wants peace on earth, then surely, love is peace, and therefor - God is love. Find love, find peace, and ultimately find God within 'love'

I get all that because I had very similar upbringing ,. I totally get Noel but I'm a 63 yr old Scouser happy days.

Noel repeats a lot of things here that he said in his interview with Mark Lawson - youtube it if you haven't seen it it's one of his best in dept interviews ever.

Ah Gay Byrne, my Nan's favourite. Home from school for a cup of tea (laced with a drop of Tullamore Dew in the winter!) and the Late, Late Show on the telly. I went to St. Kent's, I think there were possibly three or four other Blues in the whole year. All Irish and Reds otherwise. My dad is English so I have him to thank for being a Blue. It was a bloody slog for many a year but all the more sweeter for it now! St Kent's social club was fantastic. Very sadly Chorlton Irish went into decline and now no longer there and boarded up. They'd have the dodgy streams on and there'd only be myself and a couple of pals and the dear old bar lady watching City in there towards the end. Some would call it progress but I would beg to differ, from my experience the heart of south Manchester was always Irish and Caribbean.

I grew up with Gay Byrne - ‘The Late Late Show’ - a legend He loves Noel ❤️

This would have been the best show ever to tell his real childhood history. Burst the Irish bubble of a great Irishman come good through his son's, nonsense. The abuse they all suffered, horrendous, at the hands of their Irish Dad. Hats of to the boy's, in spite of. Peace 👊☘️

does anyone know what year this interview was

Such a shame he and Sarah didn’t make it She seemed to be a calming influence on him I’ve no doubt he’ll be fine though, he seems to be a very levelheaded chap

Noels face “how do you know that” 😀

God manifested that guitar in the house for Noel to pick up. Thank you, God!

Great interview… to the Irish! 💀🔥🇮🇪

Every time the interviewer says "Peggy" I expect him to follow it up with "18"

Sgt Peppers wasn’t made on drinking tea was it? Brilliant.

Even though I was always sad to see Noel was an atheist, it was a very pleasant thing to see that he doesn’t mind his wife believing and raising his children as believers. I’m happy he isn’t one of those angry, militant atheists. Noel just seems like a reasonable guy. I feel he just wants people to live how they want and be happy.

First time saw this blown away by Noel! Doesn’t feel sorry for himself at all even though he should a bit maybe? But it all comes out in his music? I don’t know how these student critics make out his music has no emotional depth but ‘paranoid android’ does. Noel’s music can mean anything you want it to but it normally makes you feel like everything will be ok and your ok and no ones better then you. I can’t think of any other band/artist that writes songs like that? Not Dylan,Lennon/Macca (Maybe hey Jude),Cobain,Jagger,Richards,Hendrix,Weller,morrisey marr,Martin,Yorke,Ashcroft,Bowie (Maybe heroes) etc. Sounds like hyperbole I know but he really deserves more respect though I do wish he wouldn’t over produce everything and put more guitars on 😉

Finishing his Rubix Cube at the start

Sounds like he’s sorted. Moving on………

I can't play the harp 😂😂😂😂😂, brilliant

It must be hard talking about the dark elements of his past for all to hear. Sometimes when you talk about bad experiences you are rerminded of them and relive them.

Rip gay ❤

The only time I’ve seen Noel exert deference. Being questioned by an old Irish fella

23:20 He seems so pissed off 🤣

“Miching” we call it bunking I’ve never heard that before 😂

I have the same struggle with God that Noel has. I just call it the Universe!

"Do you miss him?" He said no, but the instant flush in his cheeks says yes.

Only Gaybo could have got that openness

Sargent pepper's wasn't written on cups of tea

A lot of mentions of his wife….11 years after this interview….divorced.

Two extremely interesting gentlemen. Gay was the finest interviewer along with Michael Parkinson and Noel is an extremely clever and relevant man. I could listen to him talk about sport or music or anything but somehow his brother Liam is just a conceited pillock.

Enjoyed this interview with Noel Gallagher, used to enjoy this programme, but it’s sadly biased. In a Catholic country they have never had on anyone with authentic Catholic views, not even once if I recall correctly. Sadly it’s a show that is not representative of all people in Ireland.

has a look of parker of thunderbirds

Noel if I confess to you,that I left that guitar at your house. Will you send me back one of yours now. Troy Patrick 15 may 21

He's not a bad lad really.

Love Noel always ♡ but c'mon Noel, dying on the cross wasn't a big enough sign. I always pray for him, rkid and their family ♡

Did they grow up in a council estate? I don’t think it’s been documented before?

The interviewer really pushed the whole god/religion thing eh? haha.

He’s giving Noel a hard time….

Admit it Noel you don’t know! No one knows !

“Trying to kick illegal drugs, we’ll get you hooked on legal drugs.” Pffff yup

The more i lean the less I know.🙂🙂🙂

He believes in the God of freemasonry ..there will be a God they worship

Honestly, these questions aren’t really polite.

It's ridiculous to believe that this guy has Irish blood

Oh how the media loves to glorify mediocre celebrities
