Noel Gallagher thinks taking hallucinogenic mushrooms is better than music.
The former Oasis star admits he was more interested in taking drugs as a youngster rather than becoming a rock star, especial 'magic' mushrooms that make you have weird visions.
Talking about the suburb of Burnage in Manchester where he was raised, he explained: "Where I come from, it's not musical at all, although Manchester is, obviously.
"I don't say it to be cool, but we were more into taking drugs and banging around in the park [than listening to music]. Music's great and all that, but it's not as good as mushrooms."
The 47-year-old musician - who will release his second solo album, 'Chasing Yesterday', on March 2, 2015 - added: "Pop songs are three minutes long. You get a good six hours out of mushrooms."
Noel also spoke about his performance with former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr last month at The O2 Brixton Academy, London, admitting that he was suffering on stage after having consumed too much alcohol the previous evening.
Speaking at the 'XFM presents An Evening In Conversation With Noel Gallagher' event, he confessed: "I don't think I've ever been so f***ing hungover on stage in all my life.
"I was getting a back rub from his wife about two minutes before going on. If somebody had come up to me and said 'You don't have to do this' I would have been, like, 'F***ing, yes.'
"It was my wife's birthday the night before and we'd smashed the arse out of it."

Lisa Kudrow would prefer to shoot an entire season of 'Friends' if the show were to return.
The 51-year-old actress - who starred as Phoebe Buffay on the NBC comedy alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer between 1994 and 2004 - has admitted she would be up for shooting an entire new series of the show if a reunion occurs in the future.
The Emmy Award-winner made the announcement during a Reddit AMA session when she was questioned over the series - which has previously rumoured to be returning as a special episode or a movie - and insisted a one-off wouldn't be enough if the stars were to get back together.
When asked in which format she'd most like the show to return, Lisa said: "A whole season, because to spend that much time with those people again would be heaven!"
However, some of her former 'Friends' cast mates are unsure whether the show will ever return to TV screens.
Matt, 47, doesn't believe the series would suit following the lives of the six pals now they are older.
He previously said: "That show was about a finite period of time in life, after college and before your relationship and family starts and where your friends are your support system and that's what the magic of the show was, everyone goes through that and can relate to that. It was those characters in a room relying on each other. Past that it's not the same environment so I don't see it happening."
Courteney, 50, has also said: "It's not going to happen."

Eva Green is like an "old lady".
The 34-year-old actress has lived in London for several years but doesn't have many recommendations on cool clubs and bars because she doesn't go out drinking very much.
She said: "I'm quite boring actually, I love London because of the parks, I love walking and nice restaurants - St John's is my favourite restaurant ever.
"I'm not a party girl, I'm like an old lady so if I have an aperitif I have it at home."
Despite her big screen work, the French beauty insists she has no desire to ever move to Hollywood - joking that she wouldn't be able to cope as she can't drive a car.
She said: "I've been living here [in London] for eight or nine years now. I think I'd die in Hollywood, I cant drive..."
And the 'Penny Dreadful' actress - who stars in the 2015 iconic Campari calendar, which is titled 'Mythology Mixology' - is keen to take on a stage role in London because she finds working in theatre "magical", though "scary".
Speaking at the unveiling of the calendar in London today (05.11.14), she said: "Would I go on stage? Yeah. I would love to. In a small theatre, [something like] Ibsen, I would love that.
"It's quite scary to be on stage, it's another process. It's scary but amazing because you feel the electricity with the audience. It's immediate and magical. But scary."

Gillian Anderson had hypnotherapy before returning to the stage this year.
The 46-year-old actress has won rave reviews for her performance in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' at London's Young Vic theatre but had to seek specialist help before her run started after suffering panic attacks brought on by a fear of forgetting her lines.
She said: "I was terrified because I've had panic attacks on stage before so deciding to do this was a lot of pressure.
"I went to a couple of different hypnotists to deal with the anxiety because about six months before I started I was already projecting the fear of the future onto really small moments and struggling to even give a thank you speech.
"I think the combination of hypnotherapy and working my a*s off so that I was comfortable with the material meant that it hasn't been an issue."
Gillian - who has children Piper, 20, Oscar, eight, and Felix, six, from previous relationships - has previously suffered from panic attacks so bad that she "hallucinated".
She recalled in an interview with Stylist magazine: "There was a period of time when I was pregnant with my daughter where I started having panic attacks and they pretty much happened every day for well over a year.
"And it was absolute hell - like hallucinatory - really bad."

Jessica Biel is pregnant.
The 32-year-old actress is reportedly expecting her first child with husband Justin Timberlake - who she married in October 2012 - and the showbiz power couple are said to be delighted about the news.
A friend of the 'Total Recall' star told Us Weekly magazine: "Right now they are just enjoying the news for themselves.
"They just want a happy baby."
The pair's baby news may not come as a surprise to their fans as it was reported in August the couple had been trying for a baby for a few months.
A source said at the time: "They've been trying to conceive for a couple of months now, and she told Justin she's going to see a fertility expert.
"She has no problem using technology, if that's what it will take to have a baby and stick this marriage out."
Justin fuelled pregnancy rumours last week when the 33-year-old singer attended the amfAR Gala in Los Angeles without the brunette beauty.
What's more, Jessica's friend Ariel Foxman sparked further speculation his pal is expecting when the InStyle editor posted a Throwback Thursday picture on Instagram last week congratulating the star on her pregnancy.
He tweeted: "Congrats @jessicabiel on your impending motherhood... Looking forward to the red carpet maternity style pic to come #tbt. (sic)"
