Charlotte Courbe. Shes also percussion and BVs.

  If youve ever actually played with french herb scissors, they make an awesome swoosh sound thats been on loads of records over the years.

Kirk's scissor playing was only any good on the first few albums.

I read that William Whiteley & Sons are releasing some relic Kirk Hammet signature scissors, aged by Tom Murphy, for the collectors who don't actually cut paper or play then in a band but prefer to keep them in a drawer.

I gave this a go this morning on the way into work. It's good but hasn't blown me away like "Dead To The World" did when it came out. I'll obviously give it a few listens but at the moment I prefer "Who Built The Moon?".

I've given it 3.3 listens. I like it so far, but as I said to my mate of 25 years and fellow Noel-watcher (and former bandmate), it will take dozens of listens and months of debate before we know what we think about it.

I'm enjoying the sound, even though I liked Who Built The Moon I'm appreciating the new direction, reminds me a little bit of something like Scott Walker. I still think he's one of the best melodicists, the lyrics do seem a little more meaningful than usual.

Mange to play most of the album on the way to work, like Easy now (I think), not many Guitar Solo's on this album, can't remember if there are any on his last album ??

I think Noel finds solos a bit boring these days.  There were a few on "Chasing Yesterday" but mostly played by someone else, as was the solo on "Black Star Dancing".

There is tremendous fun in a classic Noel solo, but you know I think that!

As with all of Noel's work I like a few songs here and there, I'm more looking forward to the new Blur album though.

Having watched that TPS video intro he still struggles to pick a chord without staring down at his right hand like he's just been handed Burt Weedon's Play In A Day book.

Where's he supposed to look, into Dan's eyes?

Thats his technique. Hes a decent guitarist whether people like it or not.

I'm not 100% that Oasis would have worked with a classical guitarist playing on their records in any case.

Guitarists often remind me of 16th century politics... "You played a full barre chord and not an inversion... BURN HIM!!!"

It’s growing on me. I’d only listen to bits when I’ve walked to the shop etc but now I’ve had it on a few times while working I’m getting into it.

Really looking forward to the TPS episode too, I don’t care if he looks at his guitar. I would if I owned that 355!

Granted it’s not an Asus2 like in the video, but look! He can play without looking!

I think we now need to be asking ourselves...

"Would Noel Gallagher have more respect in the industry if he'd bought Greeny..."

LPManic

I enjoy the irony that Noel will now have 11 No.1 albums in a row but really as the new album shows both THFB and Oasis were really singles bands.

Been a long while since I've seen a post I've disagreed with quite as much!

Especially as Oasis have album tracks and even B sides you hear as often as many of their singles... and quite right to as they are much better.

Definitely a different vibe to it, bit mellower, more melodic than WBTM. Hear more of his Burt Bacharach influence on this one. 

There She Blows wouldn’t sound out of place on Rubber Soul. Get There In The End is brilliant. 

Seeing him in Saffron Walden in august, hope he’s bringing a string and brass section!

If you can make good sounding records you're a good guitarist. It's not really a skill that translates to Instagram

He's got a bit of the trump hands.
