Download has spoken about his career as a solo artist and has admitted that he finds it "a lot harder work" than being in Oasis.
The guitarist, who released his debut solo album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' late last year, told NME Radio in an inteview which you can hear at the bottom of the page that he doesn't actually miss playing with Oasis at all.
Asked how he was finding life as a solo artist and if he missed being in Oasis, Gallagher said: "No, I don't say that in a callous way. I don't think about it too much. If it was great I wouldn't have left, if it was all shits and giggles then I'd wouldn't be doing this. I don't miss it, I enjoy what I do now."
He continued: "This is a lot harder work than Oasis was, this is very hard on the brain, Oasis was hard on the soul. This is hard, you've got to be on it every night. When I was in Oasis, I'd shuffle on hungover, having been up late, by the time we got to my bits in the set I'd be very warmed up, but now I've got to be on it from the start."
Gallagher also admitted that his lengthy solo tour has meant his collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous has "fallen by the wayside".
Asked about the tour, he said: "I'm on the road till November. The record blew up on the road and I don't know if it'll happen like this again. We've just kept adding gigs and gigs. My second album has fallen by the wayside because we've just kept adding gigs."
