Noel needs another band?

Sat, 4 Jul 2009 23:25 EDT

Songwriter reveals he wouldn't mind moonlighting with someone other than Oasis

Wanted: amazingly talented guitarist with GSOH is looking for a band for gigs, albums, but no charity work.

Fans who were dismayed this year when Noel Gallagher vowed not to release another Oasis album for five years should prepare themselves for some more bad news.

The Oasis guitarist has told an Italian newspaper that he would like to join another band, "play the guitar and not have to worry about singing or writing songs". He also reckons he spent £1m on drugs during the first few years of the band's success, and doesn't regret a penny. He stopped in 1998 apparently because "it is bad for your health, brain, life and people around you".

And contrary to what he recently told a British newspaper, he does not want to record a solo album, and it might well be longer than five years before Oasis head back into the studio.

Neither age nor fatherhood seems to have mellowed the 42-year-old, who appears to have been on top form when he was interviewed by Corriere della Sera.

The Oasis guitarist labelled his old foe Chris Martin, from the band Coldplay, a clean-living "idiot" and slated him, and the U2 front man Bono for mixing rock and roll with politics.

"I look at Chris Martin, who says he has never taken drugs in his life, and I think he's an idiot. Doing drugs is the most beautiful thing about being in a rock band," said Gallagher.

Never one to shy away from controversy, he had plenty to say about the upsurge in poverty concerts. "At a U2 or Coldplay concert there is always a message about poor people or people dying of hunger. OK, but can't we just have a nice evening? Do we always have to feel guilty?"

The songwriter has not lost his way with words but is clearly struggling to find the satisfaction he felt in the band's early years. Critics would argue that he and the band have also struggled musically and have failed to come anywhere near the creative highs of their first two albums Definitely Maybe in 1994 and (What's the Story) Morning Glory in 1995.

Asked about the reported five-year break for Oasis, he said: "[Five] was just a number. I could have said 10, but Oasis won't break up. It's just that at the moment I can't see what more we can do. Bigger tours? More money? I need something different to maintain my interest... My ideal would be to join another band."

Formerly one of New Labour's most famous supporters – he drank champagne and talked guitars with Tony Blair – he said that he was disillusioned with politics and there were unlikely to be more nights out at No 10. He no longer votes.

"As time passed they [New Labour] became like the others. It was like you find out Father Christmas doesn't exist."Full Story at independent.co.uk:http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/i-need-something-different-ndash-maybe-another-band-says-noel-gallagher-1732186.html

Noel 's Â£1m Drug Spree

Sat, 4 Jul 2009 23:21 EDT

Oasis star Noel Gallagher has spent an amazing £1m on drugs and enjoyed every minute of it, he told an Italian newspaper.

The 42-year-old also labelled Chris Martin from Coldplay an ''idiot'' after he claimed not to have taken drugs and slammed the rival band and U2 for using concerts as stages for "'rock politics".

At the peak of the Britpop era, Noel and brother Liam's hedonistic excesses were well known and their partying was legendary.

Gallagher once revealed he had taken cocaine at a Downing Street reception in a toilet reserved for the Queen.

In his interview with Corriere Della Sera, he said: "I look at Chris Martin who says he has never taken drugs in his life and I think he is an idiot.

"Doing drugs is the most beautiful thing about being in a rock band.

"Up until 1998 I must have spent £1m on drugs then I stopped because it is bad for your health, brain, life and for people around you.

"But while you use them - except for heroin which kills people and which I have never tried - as you lot (Italians) would say 'Mamma Mia'."

Turning to bands who used concerts to get across a political message, Gallagher stormed: "We get on the stage and play.

"I have been to loads of concerts where bands don't play they just talk about politics.

"At a U2 or Coldplay concert there is always a message about poor people or people dying from hunger.

"OK, but can't we just have a nice evening? Do we always have to feel guilty?"

Gallagher - who with the rest of Oasis met Tony Blair several times at the height of their fame - also spoke of his own political views and said: "I grew up with Labour in opposition.

"I heard their policies on education and minimum wages and I thought they were right.

"Then they got into government and wow, I got to know them.

"Then as time passed they became like all the others - it was like when you find out Father Christmas doesn't exist.

"I don't vote any more - anyway it doesn't matter as nothing will change."

Oasis are due to play three concerts at Wembley Stadium this week and will end their current tour in Milan on August 30.Full Story at http://www.live4ever.us:http://http://www.live4ever.us/2009/07/noel-gallaghers-1m-drug-spree

Noel: Lily Allen is a good kid

Fri, 3 Jul 2009 23:25 EDT

Noel Gallagher has praised Lily Allen after she played before Oasis at the Rock Werchter festival in Belgium.

The guitarist wrote on his official blog that he had a "brilliant" night entertaining a "great big, big crowd" of 70,000 people.

Gallagher said: "Lily Allen was on our stage. I haven't seen her in a while. I've known Lil' since she was a kid.

"Her old fella [Keith] used to bring her round to that Supernova Heights gaff of mine in the '90s. A good kid. Works hard, plays hard."

Previously, Gallagher described the lineup at the festival as "staggering in its s**tness".Full Story at http://www.digitalspy.co.uk:http://http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a163345/gallagher-lily-allen-is-a-good-kid.html

Bar for Oasis Fans

Fri, 3 Jul 2009 23:23 EDT

THE Jaguar Exhibition Hall at the Ricoh Arena will be transformed into the city’s biggest bar ahead of the Oasis gig on Tuesday.

Doors will open at noon and the indoor hall can accommodate up to 8,000 people.

Organisers are hoping fans will arrive early and beat the traffic to the band’s only Midlands gig this summer.

Anthony Mundy, facilities director at the Ricoh Arena, said the hall had been opened to ease traffic congestion as 38,000 people headed to the venue.

“We can comfortably hold up to 8,000 in the Jaguar Exhibition which we will be turning into a bar for the afternoon,” he said.

The concert will start with band Free Peace, who are due to play at 5pm, followed by Twisted Wheel at 5.45pm.

Coventry’s The Enemy will be on stage from 6.45pm with Oasis due to start playing their set at 8.15pm.Full Story at http://www.live4ever.us:http://http://www.live4ever.us/2009/07/bar-for-oasis-fans-will-accommodate

TALES FROM THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE (SUMMER TOUR PART 2)

Fri, 3 Jul 2009 13:04 EDT

02/07/09

Now then. Long time, etc.. certainly seems like it anyway. What's been going on then? I believe somebody's died?

Festival season is upon us. My favourite part of the tour. Living la vida loca. In-out-put the kettle on.

We are on the Eurostar. Heading for Brussels. Belgium. And the Hotel Amigo (the one with the identity crisis). Dunno what the festival's called or what it's about. I do know we're playing with some of the titans of British music. Google the bill, it's staggering in its shitness. Nevermind. Like I say, in-out-put the kettle on, etc.

Don't know if I've got anything else for you..no..no, that's it.

In a bit.

GD.

03/07/09

Well last night was brilliant. Great big, big crowd. 70-odd thousand. f*** me, it was hot though.

Lily Allen was on our stage. I haven't seen her in a while. I've known Lil' since she was a kid. Her old fella used to bring her round to that Supernova Heights gaff of mine in the 90s. A good kid. Works hard, plays hard.

Am currently heading to Denmark where we will play the Roskilde Festival. Get on the bill (see if you can spot the odd one out):

FAITH NO MORE!!!
NICK CAVE AND THEM BAD SEEDS!!!
oasis
NINE INCH NAILS!!!

Can you tell? Someone's having a shit night, eh?

In a bit.

Reserve Price £16,500

As L4e reported to you over the last few weeks number of iconic photographs of Oasis are set to be sold at auction in London today (July 1).

The collection of 22 photographs were taken by Jill Furmanovsky around 1996, and were originally featured in her 'Was There Then' exhibition (for which Noel Gallagher came up with the title).

They are set to go under the hammer at Christies.

The 22 images are being sold as a collection with a reserve price of £16,500.

The collection comes with the original programme signed by Oasis, and a copy of Furmanovsky's exhibition-accompanying book 'Oasis: Was There Then', which is now out of print.Full Story at http://www.live4ever.us:http://http://www.live4ever.us/2009/07/22-oasis-prints-at-christies-reserve
