Noel Gallagher has insisted that everyone will like his solo album "apart from heavy metal fans".

The former Oasis guitarist is gearing up for the release of his record 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' in October. 

He believes it will be popular with almost all music fans because there are so many "memorable tunes". Gallagher quit Oasis after a fight with his brother, Liam, in August 2009.

He said: "The record's great, it's the best I could have done, you know, with what little talent I have, and I think people are going to like it, there's something on there for everybody, apart from heavy metal fans, I think people will like it. You know, the track that's out there at the minute, 'The Death of You and Me', is not like the next track, that's going to be before the record, which is not like the third single.  It's all quite varied, but they're all very memorable tunes, I've got to say."

Although Gallagher is very confident people are going to like solo album, he admits he is nervous about going on tour for the first time without his former bandmates.

He added: "The material's already done so there's no pressure there, and I didn't put any pressure on myself in the studio. The pressure will come when I've got to play live, because I was in one of the greatest live bands, you know, and to try and recreate that with four or five different people is going to be a challenge, to say the least, not only for me but for the people that come and see us I guess."
