Noel Gallagher brands his own fans ‘f***ing idiots' for requesting Oasis songs at High Flying Birds gigs... and claims many are 'too young' to remember his Brit Pop heyday
Noel Gallagher has branded his younger fan base ‘f***ing idiots’ for demanding to hear Oasis songs during his live shows with current band High Flying Birds.
The 52-year old has released three albums and numerous singles under the High Flying Birds moniker since abruptly disbanding the iconic Brit Pop band he led with younger brother Liam in 2009.
And he admits he’s frustrated with repeated demands for Oasis classics from fans who were too young to remember the group during their 90s heyday, and have only connected with them through a recent feature length documentary about their meteoric rise.

'When I play those songs it is an incredible thing since the documentary Supersonic came out,' he explained during a recent interview with SiriusXM in the United States.
'It has reinvigorated a whole new fan base. Sadly they all do turn up to the gigs dressed as Liam with four pairs of sunglasses on, rolling around going "I’m mad for it."
'The new stuff that I am doing, they f****ing hate it. Which makes me want to do it more.'

He added: 'You little f***ing idiot, you are only 15. What the f***! You were only ten when the band broke up. F*** off.'
Gallagher walked away from Oasis following a hugely successful 15-year career with the band, during which they released seven albums and cemented themselves as one of the most influential bands of their generation.
But the musician's fractious relationship with lead singer Liam, also a successful solo artist in his own right, forced the band's sudden split - resulting in the cancellation of two festival appearances.

Posting a statement at the time, he wrote: 'It is with some sadness and great relief... I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.'
The singer has since been embroiled in a war of words with Liam, whose opinions of Noel and his second wife Sara MacDonald are frequently aired across social media.
Fuel was added to the siblings' decade-long feud last month when Noel slammed his brother's upcoming documentary, telling Variety: 'Every time I see that c***'s face. I want to take out a McDonald's with a machine gun.

'I don't think I'll be going to the cinema to watch him rewrite f***ing history about what a great guy he is, what a wonderful family man.'
While Liam admitted in June that he wanted to 'break' his brother Noel's 'f****** jaw' after he refused to let him use Oasis music in his new documentary.
Speaking to Sky News, he raged: 'Him and his little people saw it and took the Oasis music out of it because that's all he's got left, d'ya know what I mean. It doesn't make me sad, it makes me f****** mad.
'I'm not a p****, I'm not sad about it, I want to break his f****** jaw and his daft f****** manager, but that's what happens. I'm not sad about it, I didn't go home and cry, I just wanted to go and f****** put their windows through.'
