[Closed] Noel Gallaghers new song

Why hasn’t anyone posted the vid so we can properly interrogate every nuance?

Personally I think it’s a Ricky Martin “She Bangs” rip off with a 70’s Slade overtone. Ideal for a certain type of person. Ricky looks good in a tan Noels without a tan, but then I can’t really see Noel going out in daylight .. Still can’t believe he’s made it sound so 70’s..

Ha! My mate just said it sound like this 😆

Cheers bikebouy, I really couldn't imagine it as being that bad. He already did the glam rock rip-offs with Oasis, so I just don't see the point. Very jolly and cheesy though, I'll give it that.

Sounds like he's been on a 25 year musical odyssey from the late 60's to the early 70's.

At the end of the review in Uncut:
“But to still be making records that sound a bit like other records after all this experimentation suggests he’s gone an awfully long way around the houses simply to end up exactly where he started.”

I've been working from home all week and listening to 6. It's on all the time.

I'm no music journo but it really is utter crap.

It actually makes me cringe, it's like an ignorant football chant with an embarrassing tin whistle twiddle thrown in for added 'nail down a blackboard' charm.

I've no doubt people will buy it in their droves. By people I mean the sort who throw beer at gigs, obviously.

See, it's perfect for 6Music - new music that sounds like old music.

Just to weigh in - Noel Gallagher's The Importance Of Being Idle is a very well written piece - filled with musical cliches but still superb.

I'm an idle git so, y'know...it's important.

"influenced" by the glitter band and Ricky Martin .
Psychedelic pop .hahaha.

Wow - this record (I think that's what the kids call it these days) is really getting the hard sell! Caught a bit of some cooking prog on Channel 4 this morning and it was played before and after the adverts!

Cant you just tell us what we should like?

Holy Mountain sounds like a shit Ginger Wildheart side project's cover of She Bangs

I know your so achingly cool that anything mainstream just doesn't flutter your brain but its not exactly like this Sunday magazine style program hasn't been around for a while!
Sunday Brunch

I really don't know what the hell you're on about.

it was played before and after the adverts!

That's just how they do things on that show. A snippet of the track/programme/film before they depart for the ads, same again when they return. It's not exclusive it's just that you noticed, I would imagine.

Bit Mott the Hoople-ish, I reckon.

I love it and when I heard it on 6 music thought "The Vaccines new song is ace". Actually had to google it to see my car wasn't displaying the wrong info. Also Fort Knox is brilliant but definately a David Holmes track that they couldn't put Noels lyrics too.
You cant knock either Gallagher for their current work.

[i]even that[/i]

Lol - i read Uncut and new stuff gets a 50 word review at most. They even gave a full page spread to Beatles tribute band the other month! Anyway, I think you've rather missed the poiint of what you (mis)quoted tbh.

As long as I've been here dez you have generally pulled others on their musical tastes. It strikes me at times that you really don't like anyone who is ever so slightly commercial. You once hounded me for wanting to see kasabian at a big venue when I moaned about ticket resale prices as we didn't get them first off.
I love watching gigs in pubs, I love the tiny tents at festivals but sometimes these artists do make it big and they're not for everyone's taste but we are allowed to like them 😉

Show me an example of where I criticise someone's taste. I criticise Noel Gallagher, cos thats what the thread is about. I don't give a monkeys what other people like! I might have a laugh about it, but thats about it.
What amazes me is that people care and try to defend or explain it. If someone didn't like what I like it wouldn't matter to me at all!
I apologise if my opinions don't tally with yours, but it'd be ****ing boring if we all liked the same thing wouldn't it.

Really like Liams new album, it sounds like some of the best stuff Oasis never did. Noel does sound like Status quo though.

I'm off to see scouting for girls on Friday. I clearly don't give a **** either. As you were 😉

Oi,you lot, give your heads a collective wobble.

Arguing over Noel Gallagher?
For shame.

Dez doesn't mean anything by it, he's just being Dez. I think we had an email conversation about it years ago?

I enjoy taking the mick out of his snobbery and he likes complimenting me on my excellent taste in music.

It's fun.
🙂

People going to gigs is great! Especially ones I wouldn't be seen dead at! 😆
oooonly messin' 😉

Like much of Mr Gallaghers output its copied from something else ( not necessarily a bad thing ).........

In this case an obscure 1960's bubble gum pop tune !

Brings National Lampoons European Vacation to mind...

"Nah, exactly what I expected from the RockFM crowd, whose taste hasn't developed since 1989."

DezB, a while ago , singletrack forum. 😀

Anyone got the latest Q magazine I can borrow?

Ooh well found. Was that when everyone was slagging the new LCD Soundsystem (critics' album of the year!) single what I posted?
True though eh? 😀

I still don't like call the police but I love the album. I've had to give it a rest as I caned it too much
