Noel Gallagher Regrets Oasis Album

Noel Gallagher told Grantland Magazine that he wishes ‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’ had never been recorded. He admitted that after ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ he lost the desire to write music and believes the band as a whole lost their way.

He said: “We should have never made ‘Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants’. I’d come to the end. At the time, I had no reason or desire to make music. I had no drive. We’d sold all these fucking records and there just seemed to be no point.”

He continued: “I went ahead and did it, even though I had no inspiration and couldn’t find inspiration anywhere. I just wrote songs for the sake of making an album. We needed a reason to go on a tour. But at the time, I wasn’t thinking like that. We all thought the song ‘Go Let It Out’ was good.”

The guitarist’s new band, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, release their debut album in October.
