Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - If I Had A Gun...David Letterman 11-10-11

[nycfelipe1]

Noel is the only god we''ll ever need

[seanc4wwe]

noel > liam

[cp4eva89]

Saw him live on Sunday, was fucking amazing. Love you Noel!

[TheDelbarnes]

He knows how to write a song. Up there with weller,as our best songwriter in 40 years..!!

[mwgcubs]

what a fucking jam

[luccamazza77]

so, we got john lennon playing the guitar by noel's left side?

[001Oasis]

Beady Eye done a decent job you have to admit, they overcame the critics pretty positive...However Noel is the clear winner!

[TheTeenageDanceParty]

Noel is god

[71beatnick]

Noel could come from Barnsley and still sound amazing ! Sorry to say it and you might not like it, but you are now a national treasure, even my mother thinks your cool! Check out Leeds band Rasta Babies.....Excellent x

[garetg15]

haha yea american idol quality performance

letterman already saw how good beady was .

[garetg15]

ok lol go compare this to when beady eye played on letterman

they killed it ..so good ...seriously this is some garbage ...sounds like oasis lol

thats why all these simple minded goofs love it ..

simple drumming ..and he cant even sing lol he was never a frontman hes whispering into the mic then hes screaming into it lol.... this just sucks sorry.. its my opinion folks .

la la la la la de da repeat 40 fuckin times no thanks ill be listening to beady eye

[Sdrumer15]

@garetg15 You're the kind of ignorant person that doesn't understand music. You don't need to play crazy riffs and drum fills to make amazing music and that's what you don't understand. And his wispering and screaming into the mic are techniques known as piano and forte, which takes years to master and adds depth to the music. The quality of his music is incredible, maybe you just have a shitty ear. btw Liam has more trouble staying in pitch than Noel. You're allowed an opinion if it's educated.

[jackfung806]

what is the chord at 02:27? ....around the room~

[theselector]

@jackfung806 Noely G.....LOL!!!!!

[ewanlemon]

@jackfung806 A7sus4 x02033

[ericoasis2010]

[jackfung806]

@ericoasis2010 wow!indeed!what a very very simple chord..why i repeat to watch 02:27 for a long time~btw,Thank you!!

[HardcoreHarryUK]

Love Noel!!!!!!

[AmherstAisle]

liam: oh ya, noel?! well i'd shoot a whole into, uh, the... uh, 'takes noel's guitar and smashes it' "why doesn't anyone like me?!?!?!?"

its clear where the talent in Oasis resided.

[MWingy1]

Absolutely LOVE this band! Awesome album, totally hooked!

[rozzie101]

this 1 song is better then the whole Beady Eye CD

[taypax]

@rozzie101 and you're a fucking loser

[SALIMGUY]

@jerbear82 LOL Dave never seems to know what to say to his musical guests, but that could be because they always come last on his show and he's ready to leave.

[wiLLtheTHriLL8963]

44 years old, and still has the same endless and effortless voice. Love that guy. Your Canada please!

[flashbax97]

Noel Gallagher=God

[theselector]

@flashbax97 Yeah......BUT Noel is REAL!!!!!!

[NEOIMAI]

いい歌だ

[nastybeard]

fuck what an amazing song!!

[alidjahashfi1]

The BEST !

[spk1969]

Someone asked who the second guitar player is? It's Tim Smith...He played with Sheryl Crow, Jellyfish and The Producers...also a short stint with Crowded House. Solo band called

Not sure why he's not singing. He has an amazing voice.

[haczabim]

I can't bealive Noel's a middle-aged man now...where did my youth go?

[TheTeenageDanceParty]

Amazing!

[championynwa]

genius!

[vanityprojectmusic]

What a great song! Check out our cover version :)

[IdolXfactor2]

@vanityprojectmusic why not resend urs as a video response...u didn't wait for me to approve before u went on to another video...U can't do that without canceling the prior one!

[vanityprojectmusic]

@IdolXfactor2 Thanks for letting me know i diddnt realise that! Thanks :)

[kwontaeeun]

drum beat is fast, who's gonna tell him!! please, tell him. please, noel

[witster18]

@kwontaeeun

I thought he slowed it down just a tad too much(two spots... middle and end..... we're on diff pages... still gr8

[scottmbolt]

this version is SO MUCH better than the album version. I love the pounding drums, makes it more intense and has so much more of a rock vibe. Also love to see the guys grooving, you can tell how into the song they are. MADFERIT!!!!!!!!!

[snowbreeker]

i think it's better then beady eye ;s

[PatriciaAmorim1]

great.great band. but I miss Liam's presence

[pofgden22]

god his voice just gets better and better every time he opens his mouth to sing

[blasphemer1981]

I had no idea he was on Letterman. I <3 Noel Gallagher.

[LgFaver]

"as seen on NBC" ??? i think you mean cbs pal.

[therichardchannel]

You may clap.

[mikpie82]

what's the second guitarrist name??

[FretLegendSmithy]

this sounds fucking great. it's a shame the sound was crap when he played jools holland.

[stevenmcg69]

thank god no more liam fucking up the tunes with his shit voice

[duq12]

By the way, is that John Bonham on drums? Looks like him and hits the skins like him....love it.

[duq12]

Funny how some people still think it's cool to hate Oasis and their members. Listen to the music and be a normal human with a brain.

[craignewton82]

I also grew up listening to this man and will die listening to this man. No one else like him.... Credit to the other members in NGHFB as well. Bass player has a sublime voice. Hats off to you all. looking forward to the NIA in March.

[shanem182]

Yeah you want to try and get on that American Idol thing!! Noel is thinking "FUCK OFF"!!

[joachimwmusic]

Brill. and I just love the drummer!

[brismike65]

Geez he's good looking forward to seeing him play live in Australia next January

[carlikis]

anyone notice the drummer is playing a little bit aggressive?

great singer

[jaspurr77]

nope i want to be myself you dope..what a great bit of tv at the end..funny ..thats what letterman does..all exposure

[hillybillyrockstar1]

Great first album, proud of Noel! His drummer hits pretty hard, this song is actually more powerful sounding live than the recorded version

[Noel4384]

Fucking awsome to see how this band improves. Noel is so much more confident now. And the backing vocals are great!

[coldplay9982]

got that album for today listened it in my car . i can say only one thing AMAZING keep going that way friend of mine

[JohnnyB15]

@coldplay9982 Do you prefer it to Coldplays new one?

[coldplay9982]

@JohnnyB15 i prefer both . they are different style so it is not ethic to compare these two bands to eachother

[coldplay9982]

@JohnnyB15 i have got all oasis and coldplays albums. my cars changer is full of oasis and coldplays discs :D

[MrJoaogallagher]

Sou obrigado compra o cd desse cara, o albúm tá demais.

[GinaaPlobnrg]

fuck i will see you in april :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[jaguarnero]

....American Idol...? Why insult Noel Gallagher like that, David Letterman?

[jeremylovesmusic]

Amazing 

[kidintheriot83]

it's amazing how someone so huge stays so humble. Top man,

[Aliandinogirl]

all time hero!

[theFuckhole69]

lol the guitar is pretty much the same as wonderwall

[biskitz86913]

good to hear some TALENT 

[TheMotorman116]

TOPS!

[CarEdy23]

i dont think theres a songwritter as great as noel

[stevenoasis1]

Think America will get Noel this time around?

[riseagan]

@stevenoasis1 we can only hope. Sure missed the boat first time around.

[santto0823]

noel have to try to get in in american idol hahahahahahaha

[santto0823]

noel fan until i die

[alaixy060]

Bim Bam Boom I Love It !

[jore0806]

He sings it everytime completely the same way, even the raise of eyebrows and the headshake at the "I'm holding on" is constant. He must've sung it couple of times... Reflexes :D

[simonred100]

Ray Winstone on drums! ;)

[chibiXtrash]

See you in about two weeks in Amsterdam Noelie!

[AdriannaShade]

HERO

[Fatalegg2]

mediocre tune cmon.....and he cant barely sing

[pbx7138]

description say "As seen on NBC"? wtf?

[TheSteward25]

class!

[goldenmistakes]

Perfection.

[meestahendo80]

Who's the guitarist playing alongside Noel. I recognise his face but cannot put a name to him. Anyone help?

[thejabeach]

I love Noel! So bummed that he isn't making a stop in the southeast. I want to see him so bad!

[peekaboosmom]

Saw Noel perform in Toronto just over a week ago. Brilliant at Massey Hall and on Letterman.

[djdj42]

love it, NOEL SMILE MORE.

[CRITTERmsc]

Wow

[musicheggiante]

thank you God for Noel!!!

[cgurrell]

@musicheggiante You mean Thank Noel for God? :P

[midas554613]

@musicheggiante don't you mean thank Noel for God? :P

[koris1337]

c'mon guys don't write bad things about Liam. Oasis would never been great without him or Noel. Thumbs up for 2015 reunion :)

[wiegandgab]

EJ-200, where are you?

[JGBlack]

@wiegandgab Noel never played a EJ-200, that's what I play lol Noel played the GIBSON J-200 :-p

[CL1993BTN]

excuse me if 've spoke to soon, my eyes have always followed you around the room... NG is god.

[icsweg]

No I like it when people fight over which brother is better, Liam and Noel are both incredibly talented, and I like the solo work of the two, but when they are together is just perfect

[AxeHomeless]

A Martin, no Gibson. I like that.

We've missed you, Mr Gallagher.

[SKUNNYMONSTER]

The man is a god like genius END OF!!!!!!!!

[e28stevo]

The Master !!!!! Come back to Edinburgh soon !!!!!

[microwaves25]

He needs to get that amazing riff more prominent and open in the air. It really lifts the song and gives it the edge. Dunno why it isn't soloed on guitar.

[HunkDrachenherz]

Oh, 1 Thumbsdown. Seems Liam doesnt like it. xD

[LittleMissBluebird]

Much prefer the BBC performance, Noel looked and sounded more relaxed... but still worth a watch

[OasisDvd83]

Sono così fuori che stanotte l'ho sognato... Siccome non ho fatto in tempo ad acquistare il biglietto per la data di Roma, e mi sono lamentata sul suo sito della scarsa capienza, lui mi offriva di andarlo a vedere a Londra,mitico...Poi mi sono svegliata delusa che fosse solo un sogno... Ti amo chief *_*

[DannyMadFerIt]

He's my idol.

Anyone else want to be Noel Gallagher?

[mrm4xim4m]

@DannyMadFerIt why do people say they want to be ano0ther person we each have our own soul spirit and life to be lived shared and expressed!!! although i do totally love and worship noel gallagher!!! lol. :P

[MTCEFC]

Superb, Beady Who?

[modsfolk]

Noel is my life

[MrsBrendanUrie18]

I grew up listening to this man, and I will die listening to this man.

[projectmonarchmusic]

@MrsBrendanUrie18 cheers to that

[ConorCM91]

@tejaspics the album was number 1? sold out shows all over the world? still writes better songs than anyone else around today... idiot.

[sofilovesmusik]

<3 this album!!

[katiebradshaw11]

Noel I will love you for ever

[tejaspics]

 Lalalalala..what shit. LOL..Has-Been.

[BluebellsRblue1873]

hes out of tune

[MartinArgg]

@BluebellsRblue1873 do you have ears?

[BluebellsRblue1873]

@MartinArgg

Yeah I do, do you have better patter!?

[narut13]

He does need to find new chords for songs.

[MrTheGallaghers]

The one who click dislike button is Liam Gallagher

[remarkablydressed]

Liam who?

[irishtaz44017]

geez...could Letterman look any more annoyed or bored?!?

[georgiacortesv]

looks like wonderwall chords

[skwerly169]

fuck this...really? this sounds almost just like WONDERWALL?! anyone else hearing this?

[Noel4384]

@skwerly169

Fuck no!

[skwerly169]

@Noel4384 i'm telling you...the intro is uncanny. look, noel even has a capo on the second fret and is making the same chord structure as Wonderwall. any guitarists out there to confirm this?

[importking69]

@skwerly169 Yes, I know for a fact that the same chords from Wonderwall are used in this song, although not in the same order. I am not sure if you know this, but "D'you Know What I Mean" is just Wonderwall with an electric guitar. Noel Gallagher has even said that he doesn't know too many chords, but when he "..learns that 11th chord, watch out." The intro to If I Had A Gun is G - A7sus4 - Em7 and the intro to Wonderwall is Em7 - G - Dsus - A7sus4.

[importking69]

Similar, but still a great song anyhow.



[Noel4384]

@skwerly169

It´s not the same it´s similar. But the argument is weak. Do you know how many world hits are played with C,G,AM,F? And they do not sound the same.

[skwerly169]

@Noel4384 yeah, i totally see what you're saying but this is a little different because in this instance, it's the SAME guy rehashing his OWN song and chords. other bands in the world have different playing styles, guitars, microphones, amps, etc. so it the same chords, etc. will sound different. plus, this song definitely does NOT sound anywhere near as good as oasis with liam singing. "d'you know what i mean" even sounds better. this Noel band is nothing special...my opinion of course!

[Noel4384]

@skwerly169

No then. I share your opinion. At least since 2005 i loved Liam as the frontman of mighty oasis.

And i know that nghfb is not as brilliant as oasis...

But i don´t see the similarity of this song to wonderwall. By the way. "d'you know what i mean" is similar to wonderwall :-) Listen to the demo version!

[scottmbolt]

@skwerly169 and yet ... the song still sounds NOTHING like wonderwall.

[scottmbolt]

@skwerly169 anyone who says shite like that can piss off. Seriously.

[juicebox2006]

this should be a number 1 hit single in the States.. The drums are fantastic on this live, nice recruiting!

[EnzoHeavenly]

Tonight I will see him live, woot! Can't wait any longer!! :D Beacon Theater, there I go!

[mzZzzz88]

LOL the drummer was so emotional indeed this song are great + live = BRILLIANT.:)

[riseagan]

Noel was always the most talented in Oasis. This is an awesome performance.

startin to get up there in years lol.

[sheskat]

@riseagan you forget Liam.

[riseagan]

@sheskat No I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I love Liam... But Noel was the featured guitarist, the main songwriter and he produced the albums. Liam just picked which one of noels songs he wanted to sing.

[vlidi]

@riseagan Noel was oasis!

[TheMatthewReiterShow]

Let's all be honest. Noel was and is Oasis. As long as he makes music, Oasis will live on. Great tune!

[skwerly169]

@TheMatthewReiterShow Here's hoping....Liam was a huge part too, i don't think they'd be anywhere near as successful without him. plus, the sibling rivalry created much needed tension a band needs to make good songs. whether is it's stupid or not, tension is what makes music good....but that's another argument

[Endstation]

@TheMatthewReiterShow

Oasis would've been a shit band without Liam Gallagher singing. He had the best voice of his generation. Nowadays he sounds like Kermit.

[ROtotheB]

@Endstation LOL. shutup.

[sasdelli]

This song play in my heart

[Sandman2527]

Solid performance



[rapperzondernaam]

Oasis is and was always brilliant in US Shows.. and hate to say this but this song beats any song from Liam's Beady Eye. Beady eye makes not much sense to me really.. But Noel brings epic tunes that are sung along by the people being at his concerts. Where with beady eye the whole gig there's nothing much to sing along.. Beady Eye gig to me was disappointing. But Oasis will be Oasis again. It's inevitable.

[jonnytheoasisfan]

@rapperzondernaam Beady Eye are more like just a rock n roll band. Not showing great songwriting but straightforward nice tunes.

[rapperzondernaam]

@jonnytheoasisfan true.. Noel's songs last longer I think..

[jonnytheoasisfan]

@rapperzondernaam Im certain ;D

[jumpermotherfucker]

Fuck me Noel!

[futebolefernando]

Noel God Gallagher always brilliant

[Noel4384]

Best TV performance yet.

[FilmPhilospher]

Phenomenal performance, it's good to see Noel in top form! 

[JoaoRBastos]

FUCKIN' AWESOME!

[o5iiawah]

0 people are fans of Liam



[jodiesometimes]

Sounds even better live. Welcome back Chief, you were missed.

[presleywes]

never get sick of this song

[captainadam1]

I just wish Dave had interviewed him. Those two would be a crack-up together.

[theballens]

The British are coming, the British are coming! (Thank God)

[mydoooom]

Where the fuck is his Gibson J-200?

[theballens]

@mydoooom I've heard/read that the J-200 was the guitar destroyed in the fight with Liam, 09.

[mydoooom]

@theballens Oh too bad… it was quite iconic with that Adidas sticker :)

[theballens]

@mydoooom Indeed it was, friend.
