Noel Gallagher references Morrissey and Marr in interview

Noel Gallagher Talks Liam, Twitter Feuds, Channeling Elvis, and Stagefright in Solo Interview - Yahoo! Music Maximum Performance blog

Excerpt:

Noel confirmed to Yahoo! that he and his inner Elvis will be playing a few classic Oasis tunes when he tours this fall. "I don't really consider them anymore to be Oasis songs. They're my songs, I wrote them," he explained. "It's not like I'm Morrissey and I'm taking half of what Johnny Marr done and kind of running away with it, or vice versa. I wrote those songs and all the words and all the melodies and I arranged them all, so they're mine. The end.

Later in the part 2 of the video interview:

There's too much information in the world. There's no magic and mystery anymore... this is why I didn't announce I was in the studio making this album until 18 months later, until it was finished.

...I was kind of obsessed with The Smiths, there was none of that going on. You just waited and waited and wondered what they were up to and then there was a press release and it's like the album is coming in 4 weeks.
