Noel Gallagher reveals secret of Oasis success in new interview days before epic reunion

Noel Gallagher has spoken ahead of playing live shows to Oasis fans for the first time in 16 years proudly saying: “People will never forget how they make you feel.”

In the Oasis tour programme he has been explaining why they are loved by music fans young and old. The first fans have been queuing up at the Principality stadium to get their hands on the programme. In it Noel Gallagher spoke of younger fans and why so many people tried to get tickets for the Oasis Live 25 tour.

Noel said: “A new generation recognises how Oasis wasn’t manufactured. It was chaotic, and flawed, and not technically brilliant. We were rough and ready guys from a rehearsal room, and people recognised it.”

Noel’s songs and commitment to rehearsals and driving the band forward in the early days were crucial for their success. But he modestly says in the new interview: “I didn’t invent anything. I had good taste in music, a cool record collection, I could write a melody simple enough to make it work, and it was 50% inspiration and 50% copying.”

Noel’s comments come just a couple of days after brother Liam gave an interview to Burberry, in what could be his final on screen chat before he takes to the stage in Cardiff.

Asked what makes a great frontman, Liam said: “I mean being able to sing is good. Just getting on with your job and doing it, and trying to get a vibe going and looking cool.”

He has previously credited Ian Brown as an influence on him as a youngster and asked for the music money that changed his life as he explained: “When I went to see the Stone Roses in 1989 in Manchester, and that was it, I thought ‘I'm helping a bit of that’.”

Liam was also asked about the things he couldn’t live without, and some of these things he will undoubtedly miss whilst on tour, especially his pet. He said: “Football, my family, my missus, my kids, my dog. In no particular order by the way. My dog’s called Buttons.”

Oasis have arrived in Cardiff ahead of the the start of their sensational reunion tour - which will finally see Noel and Liam Gallagher on stage together for the first time in 16 years.

The countdown is now on for the first show of the world tour on Friday, with the band having got back together several months ago to begin jamming.

The first photos of the band leaving rehearsals in London were published in May. They showed Noel Gallagher, Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, Gem Archer and Andy Bell who will play guitars in the massive sold out gigs, with Andy on bass.

Liam, who was initially on vocal rest, then joined on June 3. The band also has new members in keyboard player Christian Madden and drummer Joey Waronker on drums. He has played with Liam before on a tour but never in Oasis.

Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on July 4 as their first tour date will take place in Cardiff. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.

Noel, 57, quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer", and the brothers had made negative comments about each other for more than a decade.

That all changed with the announcement of the tour in August last year. The pair posed for several photos together confirming the band's long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: "The great wait is over."
