Can't see how anyone can dislike this man, comes across as one of the most down to earth and charming interviewees ever. Self confident without any hint of pretension - that's why he's not arrogant as so many claim.
Really nice bloke with a nice sense of irony .He always maintains its not where you end up that's important but enjoying the journey , make him right :-)
I kinda get where Noel's comin from. I'm 29, born in London to Mayo parents, a massive Gooner (Arsenal fan). Am I Irish? Am I English? Well, I was brought up Irish, I know that. Culturally, me and my north London Irish mates were brought up differently to the English kids. As were my Jamaican and Cypriot mates. I've paid my taxes in England, never been nicked, went to Uni etc. But, if the world goes to war, I'm signing up for the Irish. No hate towards anyone, but we are where we come from.
Noel is such a gentleman. The guy presenting the jersey seemed very nervous, and of course he would have been. Noel then extends his hand in gratitude. He didn't have to do that, many celebrities would have taken the high ground. But Noel is Noel, he's a down to earth, normal guy. What a sincere gent.
He sums up what we and most Anglo Irish children/men feel like and experiences. For me, every summer 6 weeks to both My Grandparents farms in Clare and Ballyconeely
I suspect like a lot of us Irish kids who were born and grew up in England he was called the English kid when he was in Ireland and then called the Irish kid in England, and neither was meant as a compliment and said to make us feel like we didn't belong. Now because he's a famous rock star Irish people argue that he's 100% Irish with English people who argue he's English. He's earned the right to decide himself.
@@mattkinsella9856 like when Lennox Lewis won the wba heavy weight championship the British media said he was English and whenever he lost they said he was Canadian lol but yes I know what you mean, I'm from the north of Ireland and a lot of nationalists here have a loss of identity and unity especially when you go abroad because we grew up in a divided society...I only discovered in recent times how much it effects people and people need a sense of heritage and belonging, sadly in northern Ireland you couldn't open your mouth in public from being afraid of the enemy within...never knew a country happy until I moved away lol
@@jackietreehorn5561 Absolutely. I think it's so hard for people to understand if they didn't grow up with it. I'm now 43 years old and lived in Budapest for many years and I still don't like the questions of "where I'm from". I don't really feel I'm from anywhere anymore and I'm happy with that, it's just other people who have a hard time accepting that.
"in the end nobody gave a fuck about oasis" I'd imagine the 150,000 people who showed up in Slane in 2009 and the 40 million or so people who bought their first albums alone might disagree with you.
English people with Irish parents have a more relaxed attitude towards their Irish heritage compared to Americans who need to pin their heritage on some old world nationality regardless of how far back they have to go. There are loads of British musicians born to Irish immigrant parents; The Gallaghers, John Lydon, Boy George and Morrissey.
I'm about to play in Crime Park when I open up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers... As an Irishman who lives in London and LOVES Oasis n the Chili Peppers I can relate brother. I've listened to your music since 1994 when I was 16....
Why is Irish media so desperate to claim all the celebrities as being Irish too? Just comes across as desperate. I know Noel has Irish parents but Ryan Tubridy is basically ramming the Irish identity down his throat!
it's the main reason why the UK and Ireland in particular the Republic of Ireland and England don't need to make a song and dance about their relationship given that the Irish national team has a long tradition of English born players or the fact that Tony Blair and his kids have British and Irish passports. It's 2012 not 1912!
Bastard! A Man C fan! Still. as a U fan, I still like Noel! He's great. Old Trafford will get your side soon enough, but peace and love, Noel. Still the greatest. Too bad Oasis is over, but I guess it served its purpose.
yeah but you can grow up in ethnic neighborhoods over here. whole neighborhoods in boston and new york can trace their roots back to specific countys and ireland and that makes an impact in what your surroundings are. im not defending a7xshaner cause ive no idea where the fuck he grew up and when people ask me what i am i say american
He always uses the ebay's joke. He did the same in Italy with Del Piero's shirt, saying that he was going to sell it on ebay...use another joke mate LoL
For a start 'ambulance' and 'cat' are not nationalities, that was a stupid analogy. Second I said he wasn't 100% Irish. If a Nigerian is born in Dublin to Irish parents he is not 100% Nigerian, he is part Irish as well. Don't be so arrogant, you don't know everything.
If you were born in America you are not 100% Irish. If you were just born there, and grew up here with both parents irish, then you're pretty close, but if you grew up in America you're American, not Irish
Noels always top drawer in interviews could listen to him all day , He can be a complete arse and very disrespectful and until he stops being that way he will never be a top bloke , he's nearly there but not quite .
Why does he expect people to clap for (our special gaa men) many people Ireland including myself hate it! And the fans are disgusting! Try love beside Crowe park
you dont have to leave the radio one 'bubble' as you call it, to find good music, its everywhere to be honest, just cause you cant apreciate all kinds of music doesnt make it bad or good, to someone it means something. i hate justing bieber, i think hes crap. but there are nearly 6 million people who think hes amazing.
You have some serious issues. And you're making points that have nothing to do with what I said, so there's no point talking to you. Read back over the comments and you might see what I mean. The guy I was talking to was Irish American, but said he was ''100% full Irish'', completely disregarding his ethnicity as an Irish AMERICAN. Check your facts before you go freaking out at people for no reason. I'm done talking to you now, sort yourself out.
@@ciaranfahy4689What? His father who abused him was literally a drunken Irishman! Manchester is rough, but that’s where he was born and where he grew up. England shaped him, regardless of his heritage. Imagine if he had grown up in Charlestown, instead of: “I live my life in the city, and there’s no easy way out, the days moving just too fast for me” it would have been: “I live my life in a small town, and County Mayo is quite accessible, the days been rather boring to be sure to be sure…Shangri-La!” (accompanied on the Celtic harp and flute)! He’s English/British and he knows it! He just feels the need to pander to Irish audiences because they have a chip on their shoulders about the British!
@@ciaranfahy4689 Surely you’re aware of the historic Anglo-Irish animosity? The troubles? “Brits Out!” etc.? If you express any pride in being English/British in front of any Irish nationalist they will try and put you down, and most likely bring up the potato famine! 🙄 The Gallaghers are Anglo-Irish. Born in England to Irish parents. Of course if you want to go on about “blood” or heritage then the Gallaghers are Gaels, a breakaway from the Celts, who originally inhabited Central Europe. They later divided into various groups and moved into the British Isles (which includes Ireland) and became over time the ancient Britons. So, however you slice it the Gallaghers are British. Born in Britain, with British citizenship, and heritage that links them back to the ancient Britons. What more do you want?
Lad you don't know what your saying if Ur saying blood doesn't matter artists like Rory Gallagher,Phil lyott , dolores o'riordan Shane mcgowen ,U2 ,saw doctors and the smiths all have one thing in common its blood that's like saying south Africans aren't African because there white if it was not for mostly anything Irish u would not have had a musical experience all of u are racist and if i find out who u are u will see what bollocks u speaking just BC u hide there on a computer w fa to do just to bully the Irish shows u don't know anything, come back to me when u understand what would happen if the Irish wasn't there to save heritage like usual❤😂
Oh please! You know what he means. You think not being born in Ireland makes you 25 percent less Irish or something? Get your head out of your own arse! Go back to your X Factor videos I see you watch.
Aaaah I thought this was going to be the Late late show with Craig Ferguson on US TV, the only thing worse than US TV is bloody IRISH tv programmes. Bore me to death so they would. Which is strange cause I lived wiith Irish people at uni and I was never bored of them.
