Noel rules out album sessions

Wed, 6 Oct 2010 19:16 EDT

clashmusic.com - Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has ruled out recording sessions any time soon.

Noel Gallagher is the most successful songwriter of his generation, enjoying near global fame and colossal record sales. With Oasis behind him, millions of fans are waiting with baited breath for his next move.

Rumours emerged earlier this year which suggested that sessions had begun on a solo album, with Noel Gallagher seemingly eager to move on from Oasis. However in a new interview the songwriter has ruled out producing his debut album in 2010.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, the guitarist insisted that his hands will be used for changing nappies. "I'm moving house and my missus is nine months pregnant so I'm not doing anything until well into next year," he said. "I'll be doing nappies and all that malarkey."

Gallagher was speaking at the premiere of 'Blue Moon' a new documentary about the fans of Manchester City. The former Oasis man appears in the film, which follows seven loyal supporters across the course of a season.

The singer has done his best to keep a low profile in 2010. Noel Gallagher has played only two live shows, playing solo at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the Teenage Cancer Trust series of concerts.

Rolling back the years, Noel Gallagher was joined by a handful of guests to play tracks from the Oasis back catalogue. Refusing to be drawn on the split, the singer nonetheless opened with the classic B-side 'It's Good (To Be Free)'.

Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher is continuing to work on his new project. Named Beady Eye, the group contain ex-members of Oasis and were rumoured to be working on their debut album earlier this year.

With summer coming to an end, Liam Gallagher is also preparing to launch the Autumn / Winter collection of his Pretty Green label.

Noel heads into the studio

Wed, 6 Oct 2010 18:59 EDT

clashmusic.com - Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher is set to head into the studio shortly to begin working on new material with a friend.

After fifteen years in the whirlwind of Oasis, you could forgive Noel Gallagher for wanting to take a breather. The band's untimely split back in 2009 has been followed by a period of silence from the songwriter.

An appearance on Talksport with Russell Brand was followed by two shows at the Royal Albert Hall. Taking part in the Teenage Cancer Trust series, Noel Gallagher refused to play new material at what are his only live engagements of 2010.

Working slowly on his solo album, Noel Gallagher recently revealed that he is planning to enter a recording studio "this week". However it won't be for his own material, with the singer set to play drums for a friend.

Refusing to name who the mystery collaborator is, the guitarist insisted that the public would know who he is. Continuing, Noel Gallagher said that he is someone he has "thrown up" with in the past.

Noel Gallagher is an experienced drummer, and played with Proud Mary before. For the bulk of the early Oasis material the singer wrote out the drum parts then handed them to original drummer Tony McCarroll.

Elsewhere, Noel Gallagher told Talksport that he is set to take part in Russell Brand's stag do. The comedian is getting married this winter to Katy Perry, with close friends organising a no doubt debauched bash in his honour.

Tabloid rumour had suggested that the guitarist was set to be the comedian's best man, but Noel Gallagher ruled this out.

Meanwhile, Liam Gallagher has opened a Pretty Green 'pop up shop' in Carnaby Street. A new move for the fashion venture, it comes as his new group Beady Eye put down new material.

Beady Eye are set to release their debut album later this year.

Noel spends for Slane Castle

Tue, 7 Sep 2010 23:32 EDT

thespoof.com - Noel Gallagher has paid a reported 25 million Euro for Slane Castle in Ireland's County Meath.

Set in the middle of a 1,500 acre estate surrounded by stunningly beautiful valleys and woodlands on the banks of the River Boyne, Slane Castle lies only 30 minutes from Dublin Airport or a mere 10 minutes by private helicopter.

Slane Castle is one of the worlds most famous live music venues and has, over the past 25 years played host to some of the biggest names in rock and pop, from Queen to Gallagher's Oasis, the Rolling stones, Madonna, Robbie Williams, Bruce Springsteen, and of course U2.

Noel Gallagher has relatives in the area and has dreamt about buying a fairytale castle ever since he was a boy watching Saturday morning reruns of Ivanhoe in wet and windy Manchester.

"I like castles, I've always liked castles, I even liked Roy Castle on record breakers and now I've got one of me own I'm going to make full use of it.

"I'll be keeping the Slane concerts going because it's a geat place to perform, every year it'll be me, Paul Weller, Morrisey and me Uncle Jimmy as support acts and probably The Rolling stones or the Who as the main gig.

"Robbie Williams can f*** right off, Slane is closed to the likes of him and Take that, Madonna too, who wants to pay a hundred quid to see their granny lapdancing in a leopard skin leotard miming to a backing track?

"This place has it's own nightclub too which should come in handy, I'm not sure if it has a dungeon though, I'll have to check that and maybe get one built. I can invite Phil Collins and Westlife and Kylie and that knobhead Ronan Cheating over for the house warming party and lock the bastards up in it never to be seen again. That should earn me a place in the rock and roll hall of fame or at least an award for services to music or summat.

"If our Liam ever visits I'll pour oil on him from the top of the main gate, I'll have to keep a big pot of it on the boil at all times, it'll cost a few bob in gas bottles but it'd be worth it just to see him dance around the place like Bez on a bad day instead of his usual monkey boy walk like he's just crapped his pants.

"I'm not bitter... But I can be twisted"

Noel drums for Weller

Sun, 5 Sep 2010 19:29 EDT

femalefirst.co.uk - Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher is back in the studio as pal Paul Weller's drummer.

The rocker has swapped his guitar for sticks for sessions with Weller -and the former Style Council star is more than a little impressed with his new percussionist.

Weller tells Absolute Radio, "I haven't hired him, he came free... He's a great drummer. He always keeps it fat and funky, you know, that's how we like it.

"He's a good all-rounder; people don't realise what a good musician he is. He can plays keys, bass, all sorts really, harmonica, electric kettle, all sorts".

But he insists working with the older Gallagher brother doesn't mean he has less love for singer Liam - the warring siblings fell out when Noel quit Oasis last year (09).

Weller adds, "I'd definitely be up for collaborating with Liam and with Noel. I love them both equally and think they're both extremely talented in their own ways".

Tea for Two, Liam?

Sun, 5 Sep 2010 19:15 EDT

mirror.co.uk - Liam Gallagher stomps out of restaurant after not being served bacon butties He's not short of a bob or two but Liam Gallagher still acts like a "tight-a***" in a restaurant... with the emphasis on a***.

The Mancunian wide boy, 37, visited one of Simon Cowell's favourite haunts, The Colony in Marylebone, with some scruffy mates.

They didn't fancy anything on the menu and said they wanted builder's tea and bacon butties. The barman said they had Silver Needle Tea but no butties.

An onlooker said: "Liam said it was 'f***ing expensive' and stomped out. What a tight-a***."

Liam, who later rocked and rolled at Madame Jojo's for the Jim Jones Revue, then went to the greasy spoon opposite and stuck up two fingers.

Is that how many pence you've got on you, Liam?

Ricky Gervais inspired by Liam

Sun, 5 Sep 2010 19:08 EDT

Monsters and Critics - Funnyman Ricky Gervais has praised rockers Richard Ashcroft and Liam Gallagher for giving him inspiration for one of his films.

During a Q&A at the Soho Hotel in London for the DVD release of Cemetery Junction, directors Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant admitted Liam, 37, and Richard, 38, were the inspirations behind the comedy-drama.

Gervais, 49, found that actors fell into two categories, half that play society types and half that play violent wife-beating roles. But the Extras star worked with Stephen to make their characters different and more like rock stars.

He said: 'We didn't want it to be one those really gritty 'isn't England a bit depressing and crap and normal' films.

'We wanted it to be a bit more glorious and evoke those possibly false memories of every day being sunny and brilliant and fun, that's how I remember my childhood.'

Ricky added: 'We cast about a thousand people to try and find these Jimmy Deans and John Travoltas - half of them will be Mr Darcy one day, and the other half will be going, 'You f****** slags.'

'So we had to look to our rock stars like Richard Ashcroft and Liam Gallagher, that's where we rule the world.'

Stephen added: 'This country's always been very good at making rock stars, and rock stars are unashamedly cool but somehow British films are less like that, it's like we're a little bit more embarrassed to be like that.

'We need to be self-conscious and make things seem gloomier and grittier but that wasn't my experience of growing up, everything seemed very cool to me.'

Beady Eye at Jim Jones gig

Sun, 5 Sep 2010 19:03 EDT

live4ever.us - Swan-diving into rock 'n' roll's primordial ooze, the Jim Jones Revue previewed their new album, 'Burning Your House Down,' with a combustible set that recalled the holler of Little Richard and the electric energy of the MC5 at intimate London club Madame Jojo's on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 2.

The audience at the packed-out venue included band producer and Grinderman drummer Jim Sclavunos as well as former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher and his Beady Eye guitarists Gem Archer and Andy Bell.

Displaying a ferocity and near gospel passion that's in all too short supply these days, the Jim Jones Revue are poised to break through to a wider audience as one rock 'n' roll salvo after another was fired with nary a thought for personal safety. While current single 'High Horse' gained the biggest cheers -- its presence on radio increasing on a daily basis -- it's the likes of 'Big Len,' 'Elemental' and 'Killing Spree' that delight long-time observers.

The Jim Jones Revue sweat profusely and heartily. Refusing to stand still, Jones and band -- guitarist Rupert Orton, bassist Gavin Jay, keyboardist Elliot Mortimer and drummer Nick Jones -- wring every drop of energy from their own energy reserves and three-chord ramalama. Like it or not, they're here to save your soul.

Phil Collins on Liam & Noel

Sun, 5 Sep 2010 18:59 EDT

live4ever.us - Phil Collins clearly has his bêtes noires. 'I get a bit… surprised at the vitriol of [Noel and Liam] Gallagher and people like that who consider me the Antichrist of music.

I don’t think I’ve done anything that bad,’ he says. In any case, the fact that the American hip-hop community has embraced him – his drum sounds and melodies are ripe for sampling or covering – helps balance things out.

And the smash hit 2007 Cadbury’s 'drumming gorilla’ ad was a timely reminder of his adroit pop songwriting skills.

"They are the best," Taylor said of British fans. "[They] just get it and know all the words."

The Pretty Reckless release their debut album Light Me Up next week.

Richard Ashcroft on Beady Eye

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 04:42 EDT

spinner.com - Richard Ashcroft doesn't believe Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye will come close to recreating the success his former outfit Oasis enjoyed, despite Gallagher's claims to the contrary.

Speaking to XFM the former Verve man said, "I'm really excited about Liam's stuff, and Noel [Gallagher]'s stuff too. They're both going to be great. Whether timing-wise, or culturally, anything is going to be as big as Oasis? I don't think so. I don't think anyone will."

Ashcroft explained his reasoning, "Because of the nature of Oasis when they arrived, there was a big vacuum, everyone was scared of rock 'n' roll. And Noel did it. Noel showed the way for a lot of people that there's still some great songs to be written."

The singer's remarks come on the back of Liam's claims that Beady Eye will be "bigger than Oasis," as previously reported by Spinner.

Although Ashcroft disagrees with his fellow frontman, he believes Gallagher's hyping of his new band is just part of who he is, and explained, "We all talk a little bit like that because we're all imbued with the sporting/boxing promoter way of doing interviews. That's the way we were brought up."

Liam Reignites feud with Noel

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 04:27 EDT

contactmusic.com - LIAM GALLAGHER has shot down rumours the fight which ended OASIS was sparked by a disagreement with his brother NOEL over family visits - insisting he has always made time to see his nephew.

The Wonderwall hitmakers went their separate ways last year (09) after a huge argument between the singer and his guitarist sibling before a concert in Paris, France.

Following the split, several reports suggested the feud was triggered when Noel Gallagher accused Liam of not visiting his son, Donovan - but the singer is adamant the rumours are untrue.

He tells Britain's Sunday Times, "I have seen his son! And the f**king thing I'd like you to put across here - he hasn't seen my sons either. When I have my (children's) birthday parties, his son's always invited. When his kid had his birthday party, we weren't invited. All this thing about how he's round my house sipping tea with my kids and taking them for walks in the park - he hasn't seen my kids!

"He's seen them at concerts because I've brought them, but he didn't bring his kids because it's not the place for their kids apparently... So all this about me not liking his kids is just f**king b**locks... I f**king love kids. The k**bhead's talking s**te as usual."

Liam Gallagher has three children by three different women, while Noel has son Donovan, with his current partner Sara MACDonald, and daughter Anais, by his ex-wife Meg Mathews.
