Oasis Member Admits He Went Broke Before Show

The journey from a novice musician to a legendary stage performer is often marked by challenges and pivotal moments. In a candid conversation as part of Gibson TV’s ‘Icons’ series, Noel Gallagher delved into the early days of Oasis, recounting the unease he felt leading up to his inaugural performance with the band. A tale of inexperience and last-minute predicaments, Gallagher’s recollections offer a rare glimpse into the anxieties of a budding rock star.

Gallagher’s entrance into Oasis occurred in the early ’90s, and he vividly recalled the initial rehearsals leading up to his first show. “We were doing one song of mine, which was ‘Columbia’, but it was instrumental,” Gallagher reminisced. The impending reality of a Tuesday gig served as a wake-up call, revealing a gap in his preparation that he hadn’t anticipated.

As reported by NME The revelation hit him like a ton of bricks: “I’ve never played guitar standing up. Not only that, I don’t own a f***ing strap.” With Sunday night ticking away, Gallagher found himself in a financial bind. “And I’m skint,” he admitted, capturing the essence of a struggling musician’s reality. The thought of performing standing up, a seemingly ordinary aspect for a guitarist, was a monumental challenge for Gallagher at the time.

“The Monday was probably the most stressful f***ing day of my entire life,” Gallagher revealed. The rush to acquire a strap, a simple accessory that could make or break his performance, became a whirlwind of stress. Borrowing one, he finally faced the moment he’d been dreading – putting on a guitar while standing. It was a defining moment, and he devoted an hour to perfecting his posture in front of a mirror.

“The way you hold your guitar for the first time is crucial,” Gallagher mused. The positioning of the instrument carried significance beyond the music – it symbolized a sense of identity, of how he’d be perceived as a guitarist on stage. With humor and self-awareness, Gallagher added, “It kind of signifies how much of a c*** you’re going to be.”

Despite the daunting lead-up, Gallagher ultimately “nailed it.” The experience was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating, encapsulating the rollercoaster of emotions that often accompany a musician’s early steps onto the stage. Gallagher’s recounting of this pivotal moment is a testament to his humility and the challenges faced on the path to becoming a revered rock icon.

The full interview, set to premiere on YouTube as part of Gibson TV’s ‘Icons’ series, promises a deeper dive into Gallagher’s journey. This glimpse into his past serves as a reminder that even the most legendary figures grapple with uncertainty and self-doubt on their ascent to greatness.

In a separate revelation, Gallagher shared his evolving relationship with his own lyrics. Acknowledging the passage of time and the demands of performing, he candidly discussed the possibility of employing a teleprompter during shows. Gallagher’s willingness to adapt speaks volumes about his commitment to delivering the best experience for both himself and his audience. As he mentioned, “I’m sure, eventually, I’ll need one.” It’s a testament to his authenticity and dedication to his craft as he continues to captivate audiences around the world.
