*The full story about the night that Oasis broke up in 2009 starts around 14:38.
The guitarist announced yesterday (July 6) that he will be releasing two solo albums, the first of which is titledĀ āNoel Gallagherās High Flying BirdsāĀ and will be released on October 17.
GallagherĀ also went into detail about the night inĀ ParisĀ in 2009 that led toĀ OasisĀ calling it quits, including how his brotherĀ LiamĀ ānearly took his face offā with a guitar and how an advert forĀ Pretty GreenĀ almost led to a fist fight.
Noel: I'll never forget- there's all this kind of to-ing and fro-ing going on, and um, I'm looking at Andy who's sat there, constantly counting how many shoes he's got on. And I'm like, "Fucking hell." You know what I mean? And he ain't saying anything. And uh, Liam kinda does the fuck you and fuck you and fuck you and all that gear. And he kinda storms out of the dressing room. But on the way out, and I'm glad it never ended like this, but on the way out he picked up a plum... and he threw it across the dressing room, and it smashed against the wall. And a part of me- a part of me wishes it kinda did end like that 'cause it would've been a fucking great headline. You know, 'Plum Throws Plum and Finishes Oasis'. D'you know what I mean?
Noel: He goes out the dressing room, and for whatever reason, he went to his own dressing room and he came back with a guitar and started wielding it like an axe. And I'm not fucking kidding. And I make light of it, because it's kind of- you know, it's kind of what I do. But it was just a- it's a real unnecessary violent act, and he's swinging this guitar around and he kind of- you know, he nearly took my face off with it. And it ended up on the floor, you know, and I put it out of it's misery. And, then I said, you know- I mean there was people who were in the band, not saying anything, kinda looking the other way. It wasn't even a big dressing room, you know what I mean? We were all involved in it nobody was saying anything.
GallagherĀ had previously said that the band had pulled out of their planned performance at theĀ ChelmsfordĀ leg ofĀ V FestivalĀ in 2009 because his brother āhad a hangoverā and that a key reason forĀ Oasisā split was that he had tried to charge brotherĀ LiamĀ to advertise his clothing companyĀ Pretty GreenĀ in the bandās tour programme, butĀ BellĀ denied both those things.
Asked by theĀ Japan TimesĀ about whatĀ GallagherĀ had said about the demise of the band inĀ Paris,Ā BellĀ responded by saying:
"Bollocks! He lied about a lot of things. The argument about Pretty Green was lies, what he said about V Festival and the fake laryngitis was lies ā I donāt know, maybe heās convinced thatās the truth. I donāt know what goes on in his head. I know him, so Iām not disappointed. Thatās what heās like. I know how he spins the press. Heās used the press for years. Interviews and press are secondary for us, thatās his life."
BellĀ added that people could draw their own conclusions, but said the fact that most ofĀ OasisĀ have remained together asĀ Beady EyeĀ spoke volumes.
"Thatās just Noel being Noel. All that shit. There were three of us in that room, and Iām telling you it was nothing to do with Pretty Green. Iām not going to add more fuel to the fire. But Iāve ended up in a band with Liam, Gem, Chris, with the same management, road crew. But at the same time, I wish him all the best. I want him to be happy."
