More quotes by Noel Gallagher
I've always been into guitars. We want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John.
Noel Gallagher
I do think my old fella wasn't much of a... I don't remember him ever being a 'dad' dad. He was too busy working. It was a hard life, man.
Noel Gallagher
To be quite honest, John Lennon had questionable politics. There was a flip side. He was all peace and love, but he was a very violent character.
Noel Gallagher
I'm going to get drunk and insult as many musicians from the 80's as is humanly possible.
Noel Gallagher
I have to be myself, I can't be no one else.

Next year I hope to get a stalker or two because I don't believe you've arrived until you get a stalker.

I don't dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the '80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it's all about status and bling now, and it doesn't say anything to me.

Under Thatcher, who ruled us with an iron rod, great art was made. Amazing designers and musicians. Acid house was born. Very colourful and progressive.

Twenty years from now, will we listen to Lady Gaga? No. She might think she is making a stand for the freaks and the weirdos. But they're not going to have any decent music to play, are they?
Noel Gallagher
I envy drummers. It must be the ultimate to sing and play drums at the same time. Phil Collins, no wonder he's so f... happy.
Noel Gallagher
Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase.
Noel Gallagher
We shouldn't need riot police at schools.
Noel Gallagher
You can't put a load of rockstars up on a stage and expect to wipe out global poverty. That's ludicrous.
Noel Gallagher
I don't think people need to know what colour socks I'm wearing today I don't think people need to know what shower gel I'm using. There's too much information in the world, and there's no magic or mystery anymore.

The thing about bands is everybody wants to be the next Oasis, and that doesn't mean slogging it out around the toilet [gigs], it means, Give me the check, I need to go to the Levis shop and I need a 1960s Gibson.
Noel Gallagher
Drugs is like getting up and having a cup of tea in the morning.
Noel Gallagher
I don't think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.
Noel Gallagher
Rock stardom will die because nobody will make enough money any more to be rock stars.
Noel Gallagher
The scumbags are taking over the streets. I don't know what David Cameron and Gordon Brown are going to do about it. It all goes back to the Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher) years. It sounds like a cliché but that's when the rot set in.
