Unusually self-critical words from Noel Gallagher: The musician, who has sold millions of albums with Oasis and is considered one of the best songwriters of our time, now described himself as an impostor in an interview.
Speaking in a new episode of BBC Sounds’ First And Last series, the musician said: “I’m a council estate con man (…). I have no idea what I’m doing.” The singer and guitarist continued to explain that he only does everything by feel. “I’ve never had a single music lesson in my life.” The world-famous musician also has his own explanation for this: “It’s not that I don’t believe in it, but when someone teaches you something, you only implement what you’ve learned from them.”
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher formed Oasis in 1991 and the band split in 2009. Noel now makes music with his band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. Since the separation, there has been a fight between the brothers, who have always been very bickering. Most recently, Noel is said to have banned his brother from playing old Oasis songs at his performances.
Noel is not only known for insulting his brother. Victims of his verbal abuse have included Prince Harry, Ed Sheeran, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, German rap in general, One Direction, Kylie Minogue, Phil Collins, Eminem and many more.
