Noel Gallagher's first musical memory is Elvis' death. His first show? the Damned at Manchester Apollo in 1980; 88-90 Acid House is his dance jam, he digs U2's 'Joshua Tree' videos and he likes routine!

This week's guest is songwriter, producer, (and let’s just say it) rockstar, Noel Gallager. Noel was the main songwriter, lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the band Oasis (the most popular and successful UK band of the 90's) from 1991 until their split in 2009. He has written nine UK number-one singles and ten UK number-one studio albums. After leaving Oasis, he formed Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, who have put out four albums; the most recent 'Council Skies' was released June 2, 2023 (two weeks before this conversation was recorded). He is widely considered to be one of the most influential songwriters in the history of British rock music. Nic caught up with Noel on his US tour backstage at the Greek theater in Los Angeles
