Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Good Rebel

[oasisguspanic79]

Davieclaff have to totally agree mate.... Wow fuckn wee!!!!

[davieclaff]

this song was superb in glasgow the other night fecking love this guy

[Riversen11]

Oh Noel, you did it again. 20 years and going on :)

[ButterflyChild86]

supoib... :)

[themec]

Noel Gallagher is GREEN!

[themec]

Back to the Beatles pastiche manufactured brit pop 1990's. All that fake optimism based upon a casino economy. He's the best at this kind of nostalgia tho Noel. Seems to be able to find some kind of recycled hotch potch of a tune from the small holes left by Lennon and Mac and Neil Young and er... the La's.

He's stringing it all out. You can sing sunshine like SUNS-HYYYYYYYYYNE and you can sing rain like RAYYYYYYYYYYYNE.

He is the musical equivalent of a join the dots puzzle. Nothing to say.

[Jiggyrulz]

type in rainymood on youtube and listen to that at the same time as this song.

[12345jono]

how the hell did i only just hear this?! cant wait too him him sunday.

[stellarartwars07]

Mate, you need a producer to cut through the crap. I'm up for it, will work for expenses only.

[cybernator01]

*cough* Cotton Mather - She's only cool *cough, cough*

[khuongla1960]

A+1+!

t

...thanksful to Ya all.

[RobinTaylorJenkins]

I love Oasis, Noel, Liam, Beady Eye, High Flying birds etc. But why does Noel always have to sing about sunshine!? Every song has a sunshine reference in it!

[BrandonKinross]

@RobinTaylorJenkins Good question. As a songwriter who is mainly inspired by Noel, I often find myself referencing the Sun as well.

There is a lot of symbolism in it. Everything from the actual Sun, to the warmth of love, to someones glowing personality.

I also notice he writes much like Lennon, in that its always 'You and I' perspective. Its intelligent enough to aknowledge the world, but its usually intimate enough to feel like a conversation with a friend or lover.

Shine on! (lol)

[forshigity5000]

this is hey mr tambourine man...playa song for me

[IgnatiusAlpha]

If anyone else wants this song on the album, spend the extra $5 on the Deluxe Edition. It comes in a hardcover book-like case with both B-Sides (The Good Rebel and Lord Shine A Light On Me) PLUS a bonus DVD. Just bought it today from Best Buy for $16.99. Worth every penny.

[rODIUMuk]

This should been on the album! So much better than stop the clocks!!

[dopamine333]

@Alnilam82: are you insane? this doesn´t even touch the hairs on the ass of the beatles rain.

[eweykidd13d]

This video is a favorite on East Timor (Timor

[mahavishnuxc]

Anyone else notice that this album is called "High Flying Birds" and this song ends at 4:20?

suggestive.

[KrazyKopite1]

@mahavishnuxc so

[videoscorn]

@mahavishnuxc dont get it

[IgnatiusAlpha]

B-Side? More Like AAA Side.

[blowband1]

old school oasis B side :)

[runnersdialzero333]

Do we really need to continually compare *everything* to the Beatles? This barely sounds like "Rain" or "Ticket To Ride".

[ScottyA7]

Despite the fact this is 'Rain' mixed with 'Ticket To Ride' by The Beatles...It is still fucking ace!

[stonesthrow420]

this song is complete ear-candy...luv it

[kevinhaast]

@CHELSEA9636 The old version of Stop the Clocks was the best in my opinion. Or just ADD this song on top of StC! ;)

[zlPinkFloyd]

@kevinhaast

Yeah, just adding this song onto the album would have been excellent. Don't get me wrong I think Stop The Clocks is great, just the fact that Noel refuses to play it live, which makes it feel like a bit of a pointless addition.

I changed my account name btw, same person.

[SweetLeftFoot1971]

@CHELSEA9636 agree

[ButterfieldRadio]

THE BOSS!!!

[leb3186]

0:29-0:54 Best part of the song!

[WallOfSound1990]

I like Noel, the new album and this song but it's a complete rip off of rain by The Beatles. You think he would try to hide it a little bit better than this

[Alnilam82]

good as "Rain" by The Beatles B)

[kevinhaast]

@Alnilam82 Good association... didn't think about THAT one yet... the only song which came to my mind -drumsession wise mainly- was Jaded by Aerosmith... try to mash those two songs ;)

[katoness]

@Alnilam82 not really since noel stole it from zeeee beatles!!!

[savethebrits91]

@CHELSEA9636

Yh....i'll agree with that

[eddybwfc222]

All of Noels new stuff is class, but this is my favourite.... Unreal!

[ocac77]

Many of Oasis B sides were prime quality A side material. It's Noe'ls signature.

[lanerinothe2nd]

jesus this is actually unbelievably good.. takes a few listens though.

[birdie41871]

sounds like a little lemonheads circa 1992..................

[birdie41871]

sounds lile a little lemonheads circa 1992..................

[MrBeatlesDrummer]

His album is the john lennon/plastic ono band album of 2011

[thesunreport]

@MrBeatlesDrummer ..thank god it's not..the beatles etc were a long time ago..by all means love them for what they did..but plz don't try and give them credit for what noel gallaghers doing now..no disrespect meant but john lennon can't do what noel does....it's a truth we'll all just have to accept!! :D

[Vpmatt]

@thesunreport You're a very misguided individual, my friend. I love Noel but Lennon he ain't.

[thesunreport]

@Vpmatt ..who is john lennon btw??..just a guy writing songs and at some points trying to be more than that, lennon is technically no better or worse than the guy busking in the pub...it's all a statement ...he said what he wanted and sometimes what yoko wanted...big deal...noel can say what he wants so why would you want to put him down by saying 'lennon he ain't'....you're reducing the arts that you claim to defend...maybe YOU'RE john lennon!!! xD xD xD

[Vpmatt]

@thesunreport You're right, Lennon wasn't technically better, except he wrote songs that were works of art that changed the face of modern music forever. Just compare "Eight Days a Week" (a great song for 1964) to "Strawberry Fields Forever", just 2 years (TWO YEARS!) later! I'm not putting down Noel, I'm just saying he hasn't changed the face of music like Lennon did. Don't get me wrong, Noel is a very talented musician and songwriter.

[thesunreport]

@Vpmatt ..it'a all totally subjective in that sense though...i mean the actual value of the art, that will always but up to the individual??. Lennon grew up in the 50's/60's where music itself was shaping society, technology was improving etc, and he was in a prominent writing partnership, at least for his apprenticeship, also bouncing creative ideas off people like brian wilson. Noel gallagher, and the guy in the pub are just as important as lennon will ever be, slices of the same pie??

[Vpmatt]

@thesunreport Yes I agree about the pie metaphor, but the average muso is not a genius. Even Noel isn't a genius, but he is a very smart and talented musician. Lennon, on the other hand, was a genius, as is McCartney, and others like Brian Wilson ....guys who see angles that no one else has seen and create highly original and innovative music.

[thesunreport]

@Vpmatt ..pt 1-.i think genius is still relative though...i'm not neccesarily saying noel or lennon are genius's but if we measured the standard of the art by the impact it has culturally etc then that too shows an equality between all artists as it depends what action it actually inspires and that's relative to time, and who listens to it, ands what they do as a secondary act under that artistic influence??

[thesunreport]

@Vpmatt ..also i kind of didn't like lennons attitude in this clip..i thought he was a bit aloof and divionist..especially where he tries to take the p**s out of art garfunkel..(who i like!!)..bringing up paul and linda also kind of made me wonder who left who behind...he could have been more elegant for a 'genius'...i don't hate lennon though but if he thought about it i'm curious as to whether he would want really extreme praise..

watch?v=kvzQ8SIiUmk

though maybe he was just a bit high

[Vpmatt]

@thesunreport Lennon was a flawed man, like the rest of us. That's another reason I love him. What you saw was what you got. He could definitely be a bastard, but also very charming, depending on his mood. I think he would have reacted fairly negatively to praise. I tell you what though, what he and Noel also have in common is a great sense of humour. By the way, being a genius (no inverted commas for Lennon) doesn't mean you have to be a gentleman!

[Vpmatt]

@thesunreport Can I just add, I prefer Lennon's sarcasm and realism to McCartney's thumbs up everything is A-OK Man! shite. Needless to say, I also prefer Lennon's music. Two geniuses though. Very rare for one band.

[thesunreport]

@Vpmatt ..duly noted ;)

[MrBeatlesDrummer]

@thesunreport No I'm not saying it is the same, and please don't go into an argument about who is better. What I'm saying is, when the Beatles split up the best first album after the break up was that John Lennon album. It is fantastic. Oasis, who were basically once as big as the beatles broke up and out of beady eye's album, and noel's album, noel wins. Basically the noel's album and John's album were the best after-breakup albums I have ever heard.

[thesunreport]

@MrBeatlesDrummer ...i think oasis themselves cultivated the idea of a beatles follow-on group and cited lennon etc at every opportunity, now i think it's a shame as this new album from noel for my money anyway, shouldn't be spoken of in the same breath as any other artist as it deserves to be seen with clear eyes and not through the lens of a lennon/beatles comparison. I take your point as your truth and thank you for the clarification, which helped me understand your view. :)

[Vpmatt]

@MrBeatlesDrummer Yes. I love Noel's album. The reason that it is SO much better than Beady Eye is that Noel was obviously the brains and talent behind Oasis. You can't write a song like "Wonderwall" as well as numerous other songs without a shitload of talent. And his latest is wonderful too. Although not sure why Q panned "AKA..What a Life", that's a great song!

[noelgallagirl]

i'm so pissed this song isn't on the cd....

[therichardchannel]

this should be an A-side

[Liverynew1]

Best song on the album

[zlEpiphoneSheraton]

@Liverynew1 This isn't on the album mate, Should be though.

[Liverynew1]

@zlEpiphoneSheraton Its on the bonus edition of the album

[zlEpiphoneSheraton]

@Liverynew1 Yes on the deluxe and Japanese editions, not the one that most people buy. I don't know why it wasn't featured as a standard album track though, it should have at least been replaced with Stop The Clocks or just been added.

[rrmm2495]

Quality music!!!

[ThisDifferentWinter]

Noels not daft, only keeps good singles to be on their own cos he knows they'll sell.

[kurt0924]

I know US Deluxe Edition has this song , US version has 2 BONUS TRACK , does another Deluxe Edition has too ? I mean Germany version ?

[ThisDifferentWinter]

ǝpıs ɹǝɥʇo ǝɥʇ uɐɥʇ ɹǝʇʇǝq sʇı

[EggyPong]

This is better than most of the album, why leave it out? Noel has been doing this since Oasis days!

[robotface74]

dude my dentist got me into this lol

[JasmineLovesBowser10]

@robotface74 dude, my science teacher got me into this :) I'm not joking.

[dicAsuoixoN]

I swear all of Noel's best songs have been B-sides.

[adrenaline64]

People who say it sounds to much like oasis can shut up. obviously it's gonna sound like oasis noel wrote most of the songs for oasis (well atleast all the best songs)what do you expect? that he's just going off on his own and start writing metal or something, no he been writing music like this his whole career and he is obviously gonna keep doing it. I love this new album i've been listening to it none stop and the songs are all amazing.

[quantumity]

sounds a bit like Foo Fighters

[wysoft]

@quantumity Agreed, it totally has a Foo Fighters/Dave Grohl feel to it. Incredible tune.

[andrx04]

bullshit ! 3rd song im listening that sounds like bridge in some oasis song..

after dont believe the truth hes doing real tasteless crap .. his new songs are simple-stupid like some liams do ex. songbird Dear Noel, it seems youre done - go play father for your children put guitar in the corner and come back when youll have something really good !

[eddybwfc222]

@andrx04 Your clueless about music. Haha. Twat.

[andrx04]

@eddybwfc222 children arrived .. я к тебе совался уёбок малолетний ?? иди в жопу кретин !! у каждого своё мнение изволь его уважать ! если у тебя есть аргументы выскажи их, если нет - не суйся нахуй !!

[eksistentialisti]

fuck this is the best new noel song

[84beatles]

Somehow it reminds me Oasis song, from the 6th, 2005 Album 'Don't believe the truth', "Keep the dream alive".

Especially the rhythm of thr drums and the bass.

Anyway, it's sound good! : )

[84beatles]

Oops! Maybe I accidentally marked as spam someone. If it was me, it was not my intention...Sorry

[panvigocsc]

It was the same with Oasis, b-sides were sometimes even better than what they put on the albums... Like The Masterplan was originally a b-side...

[n136h]

This should have been on the album

[pbrlimit]

This is a b-side ? LOL - once again Noel writes a b-side which is better than most band's a-sides.

[leb3186]

If Heaven helps you, help yourself, I hope you never change! Love it!!

[PunkBright]

And awsome too

[PunkBright]

It sounds a bit like so sgt pepper took you by surpriiise

[musicmann1967]

That's a B Side?? Holy Shit!! Great!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yellow1kat]

It's like Oasis is back!! Who cares for Liam??

[savethebrits91]

im gutted that noel didn't add this to the album

[tede8]

@savethebrits91 it's the last, 12th track on the Japanese Edition (after Game of Genius) officially, so we can pretend that it is on the album ;) absolutely love this track, gives me the feeling of the 90s, summery Oasis :D

[cropsy2008]

pretty much just the beatles "rain" but still a good tune.

[amaniteprototype]

@cropsy2008 lol, why? ´cos it says "rain" too?

[cropsy2008]

@amaniteprototype no,because it sounds like rain by the beatles.

[amaniteprototype]

@cropsy2008 are u deaf or something?? It sounds nothing like Rain by The Beatles, I hate people like you who almost listen to every Beatles song again every time an Oasis, Noel or Liam song come out and try to find anything that they can associate with them (even the word rain in this case) 

[cropsy2008]

@amaniteprototype are you for real you nobhead,i have an opinion and am allowed to express it,people like me,i hate people like you who think they know a person by a youtube comment.what a loser.i actually like noel and oasis but half there songs sound like beatles tunes(or lately kinks).anyway SHUT UP YOU TOSSER AND GET A LIFE YOU PRICK.

[andthewinnerisJ]

Bloody good song

[alegrace]

This is brilliant, even his B-sides are brilliant!

[sionnaigh]

I'd like this to be in the setlist. It's a great song and would be a good crowd sing-a-long song. Not heard a bad track from him. xx

[MrBuntings]

@CookeryBook2 noel likes nirvana

[CookeryBook2]

@CHELSEA9636 yeah, listen to the 'I don't care for the sunshine' bit

[dnbeh]

luvin' it!

[CookeryBook2]

sounds like Nirvana

[MetallMozzo]

this is an awesome track but "what a life" is amazing!

[MetallMozzo]

Ive got a Liam style voice!!!

dont believe?

i have uploads to prove!!

me take his place in Noels new band! on stage!!:)

[StevenRiceX]

@Muyrdinauia *Live Forever Oasis*

[peterthomson13]

B-side, really? I shouldn't be surprised - so much better than the single. 1.27 is Glorious!!

[Tricolorcatridge]

this song is definitely written for liam because it contains the word "shine" (or should i say SHEEEEEIIIIIN?) :D

[MetallMozzo]

@Tricolorcatridge nah!

[Mythiqal]

Thinking of leaping on the postman when he comes with my album, it's taken it long enough!

[1989graham]

@Mythiqal rape him?

[JavaJaxRex]

I don't know anything about this guy or where he came from, but I heard one of his songs on the radio, and I love this guy!

[63BobbyBrown]

i'm really tired of the people commenting on other people comments especially about the lg vs. ng battle of the century...comment on

[adrenaline64]

I love oasis, but in my mind Noel is better then beady eye, because even in oasis i liked the songs that noel sung more because his voice is a bit deeper and seems more smooth and his genius lyrics are what made me really start liking oasis, nothing against beady eye, but i prefer noel

[MrMase360]

Album is "✯✯✯✯✯"

[zimmy81]

Im getting High flying Orses 2moz hoping for summat better than this repetitive throwaway , Im after depth of genius that Noel is, I hope he aint past his sell-by date as I need him.

[ironmine]

NOAL MUSIC BORING NOW :(

[blowband1]

It's like 1994 all over again. Proper Oasis style B sides that should be on the album but because they r not it makes Noel that much more of a genius. Ok it sounds like Slade and Bob dylan in places but name me one song that doesn't sound like something! All R&B has the same lyrics, vocal lines and more to the point has no depth and is the Hitler of music! ....Noel ur the man...'Because we need eachother'

[MMRJL]

Liam should be singing this great Oasis track

[defergerth]

man i miss oasis sooo much

[dr05guitar]

keep coming back to this song, love it!

[armybarmy1234]

what utter wank!

[TheBeesKnees691]

@SypherDubstep Don't mention it, it was the least I could do.

[idlersflassbax131]

good f£$%^n tune we are gettin the best of both worlds cmon the gallaghers

music is alive again

[charliehenryrufus]

noel you cheeky bastard - now i'll have to buy the album and all the singles to get these great b sides!

[NightSurfer47]

Noel has always been bad choosing B-Sides, hopefully one day he'll pull a "Masterplan" and put these all on their own album.

[thebombus]

why does noel make better b-side then A-side?

(remember the masterplan?? was that a B-side?????)

[CHOPP3RHARR1S]

liam watched this 46 times...

[charliehenryrufus]

@CHOPP3RHARR1S why 46?

[CHOPP3RHARR1S]

@charliehenryrufus cuz it had 46 dislikes

[pontello3]

@charliehenryrufus

why not? :)

[Loud0glbc]

Liam on this track wouldve made it number 1

[cjorata]

haha this song has the same drum from Beatles "ticket to ride"

[behold888]

@cjorata and the melody kind of reminds me of Mr. Tambourine Man in parts

[0812rory]

Beady eye are shit, i thinkLiams cool but crudd album, Noels new tunes need to step up, music is rubbish just now!! 97 what a good year!! when the drugs wgere real!!

[Darkwing69Duck]

I really need to get this off my chest.. I expected a lot more from Noel as a solo artist. I always thought of him as the better musician compared to Liam, but so far I'm more impressed with Beady Eye.. Maybe It's because I didn't expect as much of Beady Eye I don't know.. Anyways, hope to hear some real good work (from both of them) soon. (If there are any songs from Noel or BE you think are worth hearing, feel free to send me a link)

[Havenwaters]

@Darkwing69Duck

Perhaps because you wanted one or both to sound like Oasis, but Noel's not touching the same areas he usually does and is trying to sound different? My belief is the Oasis fans who want sound of 1994-1997 back like Beady Eye, while the Oasis fans who just love good music and not any specific style or time tend to favor Noel. I could be wrong, and it dangerous to make such a broad assumption, but it seems that way to me. Do tell me if I'm wrong.

[joey0827GandD]

1000x better than Beady..something

[TheSaurusVideos]

The chorus sounds just like the bit of white lies song 'death' where it goes 'floating neither up or down..'

Great tune though, live forever noel gallagher!

[RaiderHater578]

It's amazing how this is a B-SIDE, yet it kicks more ass than 99% of A-Sides released nowadays.

[abant7]

NOELY NOELY! mum's mate noel gallagher :)

[gerardymw2beast]

I HATE THE START

[hotpants318]

L'ancien leader et guitariste d'Oasis nous a pondu une putain de SONG !!!!!!!!

[TheRedChannels]

I'm really tired of all the Beady Eye vs Noel Gallagher arguments on ANY of the videos that involve either of the two. It's absurd. Look, Beady Eye is going to have more of that old fashioned rock n roll feel, more swagger, and Liam's voice. Noel's going to have gorgeous melodies, more surreal lyrics, and a much more subtle approach overall. It's what you prefer. If you're like me, you'll love both with slightly more reverence towards one or the other (Noel in my case), but they're both great

[vasilissok]

@TheRedChannels You are absolutely right. I completely agree. Except from the fact that I like Beady Eye slighty more. It's just personal preferences. Let's just sit back and enjoy some great music from both of them.

[ps2peter]

@TheRedChannels agreed. i loved oasis and now i love beady eye AND noal

[BassistCW]

@TheRedChannels I could not agree more!

[jwwoowoo]

@TheRedChannels couldnt of put it better myself!!

[degodly]

@TheRedChannels I dont get what the big deal was... I took the 5 best Beady Eye songs... and the 5 best Noel songs and put them together in iTunes and pretended like it was an Oasis album.

That works right!?

;_;

[macaburna]

so great to have Noel back, I love Liam and he was always my fav out of the two for some reason but Noel is a top song writer he really is. He songs are so great but so simple, genius.

[omgomg5475]

he should definitely have put this as an a-side... it has the best lyrics of the new stuff i find. love come down like rain / i dont care for the sunshine, sorta implies that the love isnt all good but still is much preferred, or maybe just that it hits him with such a force. thats my take anyway. i had more hopes for if i had a gun, but imo this is better.

[ScottyJproductions]

sound top mad fer it ya know what i mean??

[carlitox1891]

THIS IS THE BEST NEW SONG OF NOEL!!!!!ITS A GREAT SONG,GREAT MUSIC
