Noel Gallagher Triple J interview Australia 1st April 2016 - Noel picks his 5 favourite songs

http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s4435553.htm 1st April 2016. Noel Gallagher Triple J interview Australia. Currently in Australia for Bluefest and playing shows with his High Flying Birds, Noel Gallagher checked into triple j to Take 5 on Mornings with Gemma Pike with five songs that taught him something.

The former Oasis linchpin schooled us with the kind of wit and wisdom you can only glean from being a bona fide rock and roll star and being the golden quote spinner that he is, we just had to share the pearlers he passed on.

From awards ceremonies to Swedish birthdays and his new alias Shirley, here's the best of them but you really should go listen to the whole thing; it's magical stuff.

You don't have to be good if your shit's good

"U2 have written some of the best choruses of our generation, of our lifetime even." So declares Noel, who caught them "six or seven" times on their last impressively-produced tour ("more technology than there is in NASA").

The greats don't really have to try

One of Gallagher's oldest mates in the music biz is The Modfather himself, Paul Weller. The two go back years through songs, tours, fights, in-and-out of studios and hotel rooms. And even though the former frontman of The Jam is the older of the two, his youthful energy and passion is a source of inspiration for Noel.

"You are talking to a guy who's been at it for 50 years but he doesn't seem like that, seems like a teenager. That is something to aspire to."

"[He] truly and utterly lives it day to day; he means it and when he's in the studio he's totally immersed in the record he's making. What I've learnt from him is you've got to own it, you've got to mean it; he puts everything into his gigs and his performances and recording sessions."

"And it infuriates him that I don't. I'm saying, 'yeah but Paul, the Greats don't really have to try, you know?' You're working up a sweat there - I'm sitting here putting the kettle on watching the football."
