    NOEL GALLAGHER, THE WORLD MOST FAMOUS BRITPOP-ALT ROCK

    GUITARIST OF ALL-TIME

    Noel Thomas David Gallagher was born on the 29th of May, 1967 in

    Longsight, Manchester, England. Gallagher is a British musician and

    songwriter; he was notable for his roles in an alternative rock bandOasis.

    Gallagher was born and raised in Longsight, by Irish parents Peggy and

    Thomas Gallagher. He was the second child of the couple, after the birth

    of Paul Gallagher and soon after the birth of the youngest child, Liam, in

    1972.

    As teenagers, the Gallagher brothers (especially Noel) were truants. They

    often were getting trouble with the police. When his mother took a job in

    the school working in the canteen, Noel ensured that hell stop by to visither during lunch before skipping the rest of his day.

    Noel had first begun to teach himself how to play guitar his father had left

    him, Noel was imitating his favorite songs from the radio. Noel was

    inspired by the debut album of the band The Smiths on Top of the Pops

    album in 1983, performing This Charming Man.

    In May 1988, Noel first met guitarist Graham Lambert ofInspiral Carpets

    to find that his brother Liam had become a singer with a local band called

    The Rain. Noel attended one of their concerts in Manchesters Boardwalk,but was not impressed with the groups act. He rejected an offer from

    Liam to be the bands manager; he agreed to join the band, on the

    condition of take control of the group and became its sole songwriter.

    According to other sources, Noel Gallagher told Liam and the rest of the

    group after having heard them playing for the first time: Let me write

    your songs and Ill take you to superstardom, or else youll rot here in

    Manchester. This had earned him a nick name The Chief by the band

    members of the Rain.

    In May 1993, the band heard that a record executive from Creation

    Records would be scouting for talent at King Tuts venue in Glasgow,

    Scotland. Together, they found some money to hire van and make a Six-

    Hour Journey to Glasgow. When the band arrived to the King Tuts venue

    in Glasgow, they were refused entry to them because nobody had notified

    the venue that Oasis had been added to the bill. Oasis secured the

    opening slot and played a four-songs set that impressed the Creation labelfounder, Alan McGee. McGee then took the Live Demonstration tape of

    Oasis to Sony America and invited them to meet him a week later in

    London, where the band was signed to a six-album contract. Gallagher

    was claimed to have written Oasis first single Supersonic, was released in

    early 1994 and peaked number 31 on an official UK music chart. The

    single later was followed by the bands debut album Definitely Maybe, in

    August 1994 and it was a critical and commercial success.Definitely

    Maybe became the fastest-selling debut album in British history, and it

    also entered the UK charts at #1.

    announcing his departure to Oasis. Noels first concerts without Oasis
