Noel Gallagher did not enjoy 2013 very much

It wont have anywhere near the impact that Definitely Maybe and What's the Story had, at least in the UK.
Those two albums caused half a generation to pick up guitars and start learning. I'm a fan of both bands, but I think Oasis had a greater effect on the musical landscape than Arcade Fire will.
the arcade fire diss #dead
three musketeers on acid? lol
still, i think him liking david bowie so much, and actually listening to the arctic monkeys albums but not arcade fire, tells me he's pretty out of touch, but smart enough to make funny, piercing remarks

Gaga's last album was shit through and through. Her first album was the best. Whoever this guy is he knows whats up when it comes to pop music.

I like Noel but something tells me he has a very incredibly vast inflated view of himself.
Both brothers do, I just ignore that.
I don't like much of it besides the first two albums. Stop Crying Your heart is okay I guess.
His solo album is the same old shit he always records, not a fan.
2013 was a great year for music, my favourite in a long time.

Some of things he says are true sure, but for fucks sake I hate him and his brother and their shitty ass music. It's funny to see him shit on other shit music though.
Fucking lol.
Let me take a wild guess; you're in your 20's right?
I like Arcade Fire but, just, lol x infinity at this.
You mean Heathen Chemistry. It's pretty meh. The Masterplan was pretty good though.
He is the best interview you'll ever read. Seriously -- go back and read some others. Always incredibly insightful. I really love hearing him talk about football too because he just knows his stuff. A legend.
they havent made a bad album imo
in my 30s, i agree, but i never liked oasis, it was always radiohead for me

Why do they need to?
Let Funeral be Funeral. I don't know why people always want artists to make their best songs look like shit compared to new or upcoming material, lol. Everything should stand on its own IMO.

I could listen/read to Noel Gallagher all day, hahaha. The man is so entertaining!
Seemed to me like he was generally positive on things more than not.

Yeah, Funeral isn't my favorite album of theirs, and to me the album's been topped by themselves and others. I just get annoyed at the idea that if someone releases good material, they're expected to put it to shame later on. Funeral will never NOT be an Arcade Fire album. It's like the longer you wait to top your ideally "best" work the less that work becomes yours. It's the same as when people say that Gaga still hasn't topped The Fame Monster. Why does she need to? If that album resonated with people then why mess with that by shitting on it through better material? Let a great album be a great album and try to find the good in its successors, easy as that. It's unfair to expect to be wowed by someone constantly.
I thought this was a great interview. I think it's really telling when a generally rock centric legend goes out of his way to name check Disclosure. He's listened to all of Settle and yet never listened to Random Access Memories. It's too bad on the latter because there is so much more to RAM than Get Lucky. But the mention of Disclosure is awesome.

of course when you think that ROCK is the only REAL music and that 99% of the good stuff has been done before 1976 (or 1979 or whatever) then you will think that year has been bad.

Lose Yourself to Dance and Giorgio are better, that's for sure.

This is why I can't take non-rap/electronic music discussion seriously. It's disturbing how many folks on the net take this quote to gospel
I was thinking the same thing. No one will get it but if I say it with conviction people will nod their heads.
i'm not sure why i posted that, i wasn't fully awake. but it is one of the thoughts I had while endlessly replaying it when it first came out.

Read it again. He didn't say it was a bad year for music, just his life.

Noel Gallagher said:
Yes, go ask Billy Corgan about the most successful, robust album of his career.
People have as much time to listen to music now as we did in 1995. Pandering to your audience's laziness is unbecoming.

To be fair he allegedly hasn't heard it. And he's wrong.
I'm just registering disagreement with this, because wow.
I actually think he was saying "go ask Billy Corgan" about Mellon Collie because it marks the last time a band actually did it right.
Corgan himself has gone on record saying nice things about Oasis a few times. In the mid-90's they'd take jabs at Oasis, but afterwards he came back around and said they were amazing etc. I am sure there is mutual respect there.

I don't mind Noel Gallagher, in a vacuum (not because he would suffocate and die).
High Flying Birds was alright, Oasis did some decent stuff - but quite a lot of people treat him as a God. It is kind of weird, he is just alright. REAL MUSIC, NOEL GALLAGHER, OASIS, MILES KANE! Yanno, they are alright...

The man and his brother are fucking legends , Speak there mind and the truth. Oasis were and still are amazing in every way , I dont even bother with any new bands these days as most of them are pure garbage. Arcade fire are for the fucking hipster brigade , Cunts like lady gaga and bieber are killing music. Kids listening to that shite on a daily basis are rotting there minds and outlook on what real music is. This generation wont have anything like the beatles , the stones , oasis instead its shite like one direction.....sad state of the music industry when little talentless pricks like this are around.

Funeral is the greatest album of all time. Everything else sucks in comparison.
