Overview
Noel Gallagher has said he was 'shocked' after he found out his unfinished songs had appeared online.
The singer admitted that he tests new tracks during his soundchecks but was unaware that fans were recording them and uploading them to YouTube.
During a recent interview with Mojo Magazine, he said: ''Some were written on the last [Oasis] tour, when I used to feel them out by getting my acoustic guitar and strumming them after soundcheck, because you sound like Jesus in a big arena,"
"A year later someone comes up to me and says, 'Have you got a song called 'If I Had A Gun'?' [I said] 'Yes... why?' There wasn't even a demo of this.
He added: "Turns out some kids have been taping the soundchecks on mobile phones and posting them up on the internet. I haven't got a computer and I'm completely oblivious to it all, so I check it out and there are kids on YouTube finishing them off! I'm thinking, 'They're covering my songs before I've written them? I need to keep an eye on this s*it'."
The former Oasis member is set to release his debut solo album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' on October 17.
