For decades, having a signature guitar was reserved for classic rock legends — the Claptons, the Hendrixes, the Pages, the SRVs and EVHs. But that’s no longer the case. From pop-punk to heavy metal, alt-country to neo-soul, modern artists of all genres and backgrounds are getting signature guitars from companies big and small. Among the […]
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ greatest hits album Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) arrived on Friday, and to celebrate Gallagher and his band visited CBS This Morning’s Saturday Session.

If Burt Bacharach […]
While some members of Oasis would love to reunite, one in particular thinks its a bad idea. Unsurprisingly, that person is Noel Gallagher. When asked about a reunion during a visit to Australia’s The Project, Noel said he “doesn’t feel like it.” “The legacy of the band is set in stone,” he explained before comparing the band […]
In 2016, Oasis was the subject of a documentary that chronicled their meteoric rise, which culminated with a pair of gigs in August 1996 at Knebworth in the UK. Over 4% of the country tried to get one of the 250,000 tickets that were available. As you can imagine, it was epic and the crowd […]

Oh, brother. It’s been more than a decade since Noel Gallagher quit Oasis famously before the band was to perform Paris’ Rock En Seine on August 28, 2009. Now, the older Gallagher brother admitted that he sometimes regrets not playing Oasis‘ final show, thinking that “it would have been a mad gig.” Oasis broke up that night […]
The Gallaghers are not siblings who say kind words about each other (in fact, their public musings are quite the opposite); however, in a recent interview Noel Gallagher gave his brother Liam a rare, and substantial, compliment.

(That would be “Cool Britannia,” and like Britpop it almost exclusively applied to English entities.) Instead, Britpop was originally a press-driven crusade to champion domestic talent […]
Noel Gallagher recently made headlines for his thoughts on mask-wearing and Oasis’ early American audiences. Now, on a lighter note, he’s honoring the band’s legacy. On Monday, Gallagher took over SiriusXM’s Lithium for a two-hour chat to discuss the 25th anniversary of 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which features classics like “Champagne Supernova” and “Wonderwall.” Throughout the DJ set, which […]
