Noel Gallagher warns that “There will be f***ing trouble if I find reggae versions of Live Forever!”
Noel Gallagher has issued a warning for anyone making unrecognisable arrangements of Oasis hits, telling them “there will be trouble”.
According to The Daily Star, Gallagher said:
“They don’t have to ask permission to cover the songs if you’re not changing the arrangements. If you’re doing, like, reggae versions then it’s kind of courteous to ask.”
“Goddamnit, if I ever find out there are any reggae versions of ‘Live Forever’ out there, there’ll be f***ing trouble.”
The tongue-in-cheek warning comes after Noel recently suggested he could be set to put his own spin on tracks by the likes of The Smiths and Burt Bacharach for a new project thanks to the home studio he now has in his house.
He said:
“I’d like to do a covers album, now I’m going to have my own studio and I can be there all the time, there’s no reason for me not to knock out an old cover between 6 and 7 in the evening.”
Speaking about what songs he’d like to cover, Noel explained:
“I would do a good ‘This Guy’s In Love With You’ by Burt Bacharach, ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’ by The Smiths and a song by a band from Liverpool called Shack.”
