WATCH: An Hour Of Noel Gallagher On Gibson’s “Icons”

Oasis are a band that have never gone out of fashion.

A rarity particularly among band associated with the term ‘-pop’. There is something universally understood about the songs that has kept kids and their fathers humming ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ for thirty-something years. In this episode of Gibson’s '“Icons”, one of the UK music scene’s most legendary and cleverly controversial figures discusses his life, lies, loves, and career in an enthralling hour long documentary.

For over 25 years, Noel Gallagher has been at the forefront of British music and has established himself as one of the world’s most prolific songwriters and performers. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds first emerged in 2011 with their eponymous album released in October that year. It has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. Three #1 albums followed, marking a decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, and culminating in 12 consecutive UK #1 albums across Noel’s career, a feat no other artist has ever achieved.

In the two decades prior to its breakup in 2009, Noel Gallagher was main songwriter, lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist of Oasis, whom The New Yorker hailed as “one of the last generation-defining rock acts.” His band regularly toured America and played a tremendous role in shaping and inspiring contemporary guitar music from the 90’s onwards. Noel’s continued success with the High Flying Birds cements his position as one of the most gifted, successful, and enduring songwriters to come out of the British music scene in the last 50 years.
