Noel Gallagher
Oasis

Noel Gallagher has admitted that he will never reach the heights that he reached with Oasis as a solo artist.
In a documentary titled Mark Lawson Talks To Noel Gallagher which was aired last night (March 30) on BBC 4, the High Flying Birds man said that nobody could be as big as his former band.
He said: "Nothing anybody does can be as big as Oasis. Not Coldplay, not Kasabian, not the Arctic Monkeys, in this country not U2, not any of them, its as simple as that."
Gallagher added: "It's not only me that lives up to that legacy, everyone else has too. We were the last. We were the greatest. The end".
He added: "I've had this reputation since the band have split up for being called a control freak. And I was. I controlled them all the way to Wembley and Knebworth and all the way to the top of the charts. So you're welcome."
In the documentary, he also spoke about his childhood, his relationship with his brother Liam and the Britpop war with Blur.
Meanwhile, Gallagher is set to release a new EP next month, which is titled 'Songs From The Great White North'. The EP, which contains four tracks in total, will be released on 12' vinyl to celebrate this year's Record Store Day, which happens on April 21.
It is made up of his recent B-sides and includes his recent collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous 'Shoot A Hole Into The Sun' as well as previous offerings 'The Good Rebel', 'Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me' and 'I'd Pick You Everytime'.

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Yes...well, hello.
Enjoyed that time off. Nice and easy. Beautiful weather...is there anywhere nicer than London in the spring...? (well, yes...Paris and Rome to name but 2 places...and New York and Los Angeles, but apart from those, NO!! There isn't).
Didn't get up to much...did an interview with Sir David Frost (which was nice).
Other than that not a great deal going on.
Flew into Washington DC last night. Those cats at immigration was in a bad mood!! One of them asked me did I leave Oasis "cuz of the money"?
Fuck knows what that was supposed to have meant so I just said "erm...I dunno?" I sounded like my 4yr old son.
Lovely day today. The sun is shining. Feels like spring has sprung over here too. Nice.
I wonder if Obama and Michelle are in? Might go and give them a knock.
ONWARDS.

Mario Balotelli
Oasis

The BBC recently gave ex-Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, a lifelong fan of English Premier League whipping boys-turned-superpowers Manchester City, a chance to interview the club’s controversial forward Mario Balotelli. A Tyson-esque loose cannon with talent to match his eccentricity, Balotelli seems like the perfect foil for Gallagher, half of one of the most volatile singer-songwriter partnership/sibling rivalries in rock.
“I don't think I'll take up a career in interviewing. I'd much rather be answering the questions,” Gallagher said. “Asking questions is not my forte. Giving stupid answers is my forte.”
When I called him in Hamburg to preview his tour stop this Thursday at LC Pavilion, give answers he did — some of them stupid, some of them insightful, most of them accented by F-bombs and the occasional “D’you know what I mean?” Over the course of 30 minutes, we covered everything from his take on brother Liam's new band Beady Eye to American sports and politics to Gallagher's home life as a father of three.

Noel Gallagher's mother was too proud to move out of her modest home when her sons hit the big time and would only accept the gift of a new gate.
Gallagher and his brother Liam shot to fame in the mid-1990s with their band Oasis following the release of their huge hit debut album Definitely Maybe, which went on to sell eight million copies.
The brothers offered to move their mother Peggy out of her house, which was provided by the local council, and into a palatial property, but she refused and only let her rich sons treat her to a new garden gate.
He tells the Bbc, "She gave it all up for us. I think she has great karma and two of her children became two of the biggest rock stars that England ever produced.
"All she got was a new garden gate from us. Liam offered to buy her a castle... but the gate at her council house had been squeaking and she wanted that fixed.
"She still lives there and we changed it and put a gold number 5 on the gate."

Noel Gallagher will speak to Liam - when he isn't so "busy".
The High Flying Birds star quit Oasis in 2009 following a back-stage fight in Paris, and hasn't spoken to his brother since.
Libel lawsuits ensued on both sides and while those have since been dropped, Noel insists he has no plans to make friends just yet - much to mum Peggy's disappointment.
He said: "There is no contact of any significance, to my mother's disgust. But we are big boys now. She can't tell us what to do forever.
"It's not the last time I'm ever going to speak to him. Of course I'm going to speak to him again but I'm busy."
In an interview with BBC4, the 44-year-old Don't Look Back in Anger hitmaker - who has daughter Anais, 12, from his first marriage to Meg Mathews and sons Donovan, four, and 17-month-old Sonny with wife Sara MacDonald - admits he didn't know how to be a good father until recently.
He explained: "I had never seen a good example of any parenting until I met Sara, who is an incredible mother to the children.
"I have learnt so much from her as she has great parents. Her mum and dad have been married for 150 years or something and they are still together. And she takes that and brings that to our children.
"I come from a dysfunctional family. I'm good with the kids now but at first, with my older daughter, I didn't have the tools instinctively."
Talking about his own estranged father Thomas, who separated from his mum when Noel was 15, he added: "I don't think of my father at all. It's his loss, not mine."

Noel has two sons with Sara — Donovan, four, and Sonny, 17 months — and daughter Anais, 12, with first wife Meg Mathews.
He added: "I have learnt so much from her as she has great parents. Her mum and dad have been married for 150 years or something and they are still together. And she takes that and brings that to our children.

'They're great musicians with great songs', says Gallagher.
Noel Gallagher has said The Stone Roses' Heaton Park reunion gigs are "going to be mega".
The former Oasis man has said he is looking forward to the historic gigs, which are due to take place on June 29, 30 and July 1, and says they'll be a huge success as long as "it doesn't rain".
Gallagher said the group will have no problem living up to expectations as "they're great musicians, with great songs and them coming back is going to be mega." A sentiment backed by The Smiths' Johnny Marr who said the band won't disappoint as "they're not the sort of band who will ever let their audience down".
This week marks the 100-day countdown to The Stone Roses' Manchester Heaton Park reunion triple-header, something their musical peers have been speaking out about.
Happy Mondays' Bez said he had spoken to The Stone Roses' Mani who told him he was " really buzzing" for the shows. He added: "I haven't heard any of their new stuff but I'm sure we will very soon. I wouldn't miss those Heaton Park gigs for the world."
For more on the 100-day countdown to The Stone Roses' Heaton Park reunion gigs, including some classic tales from John Robb's unauthorised Stone Roses book The Stones Roses And The Resurrection Of British Pop:The Reunion, pick up the new issue of NME, which is on UK newsstands and available digitally now.

The Smiths

Reading/Leeds organiser Melvin Benn has said he wants Oasis to reunite at some point in the future, but hopes the decision isn’t made too soon.
“Hopefully there will come a day when Oasis do reunite but I hope it doesn’t come too soon,” Benn told NME. “Oasis were just one of those bands where you walked away feeling happy. It was very rare you could go and watch Oasis and not have a great time. Whether we wait until 2015, 2020 or 2040 I don’t know, but it’d be nice if it happened at some point.”
However, Benn was less enthusiastic about the prospect of Oasis’ fellow Manchester leading lights The Smiths reforming, stating his belief that it would ‘destroy their legacy’.
“I think if The Smiths reformed it would destroy their legacy personally,” he added. “I’m sure grown men would cry if it happened but I wouldn’t want to see them reforming.”
Benn’s Reading/Leeds twin festivals will this year be headlined by the Foo Fighters, Kasabian and The Cure.

Paul Weller

Noel Gallagher could never trust leaving his keys with his neighbour Paul Weller.
The rockers live close-by in London but despite being regulars in each other's houses, the former Oasis star admitted he doesn't ask his pal to water his plants when he heads of on tour.
Noel said: "Can you imagine leaving the keys with Weller?
"You'd come back and the fridge would be gone.
"He would say, 'All right mate – it got a bit messy round at yours didn't it?
"'We drank the cat, sold the car and smashed the telly up. But I expect I will be forgiven'. And I would be like, 'Oh yeah thanks mate'."
That's a glowing reference.

Noel Gallagher wants to take his sons to Ireland – so they can bond over cow tipping.
When he was a nipper he used to chase farm animals for fun there.
Now Noel wants Sonny and Donovan to visit as they don't see enough wildlife.
He said: "At my grandma's in Mayo we'd run around throwing stuff at cows. See, we don't get cows in Manchester, so if you see one you just throw stuff at them.
"I'm looking forward to bringing my sons over so they can throw stuff at cows as well."

Noel Gallagher

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Yes...
Well now it has been a long time hasn't it? About a week or so? Fuck knows. I'll try and recall some of the best bits for you.
Berlin!! Never really got to see much of that place down the years and if I did it was under cover of darkness. I had a much better look around this time though. Very beautiful indeed - the sunny weather might have had something to do with it, but to say it was virtually destroyed during that Second World War it still has some magnificent sights. The gig itself was great I think. I do remember the soundcheck being the the worst I've ever, ever done, truly appalling. The gig was mega though...oh yeah...and there was some bird down the front with a placard that read something like...PLEASE COME TO THE LEBANON! WE LOVE YOUR HIGH FLYING BIRDS!
The Lebanon eh? Might give that a miss...
Now...Munich? Not much going on there as I remember. Cold, wet and windy. The end.
Rome on the other hand was magnificent. Rome is magnificent, I fucking LOVE that place!! One of the greatest places on earth, no question. Pity I was working though. The sun was out, the streets were full, the only thing missing was my good lady wife, she'd have been in her element!!
The gig was equally as magnificent. Those kids break all kinds of records for the loudest, most passionate, most intense, most...most mostest fans in the world!! Crazy kids. They are mithering fuckers though..."one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign, one picture, please sign..."
...and that was just the hotel staff!!
Outside the gig they have A LOT of bootleg t-shirt stalls. I had to drive through them to get to the backstage area bit upon where I saw many, many t-shirts bearing my name and face etc. Right in the middle of one particular stall though was a t-shirt that simply said...SEXY BITCH!!
Now it remains unclear as to who or what this particular item was referring to. I'd like to think it may have had a little picture of me on the back...or my drummer!!
Took the train to Milan the day after that for a little one of those acoustic gigs I do from time to time. Not the best I have to say, I just wasn't in the mood somehow.
Caught another train to Zurich the next day. What a ride!! Up and over the Alps, magnificent scenery. T'was all too beautiful (as Steve Marriott once sang). Unfortunately the gig was a shocker. Without doubt the worse I've ever done, just piss poor. The crowd loved it though which somehow made it even worse. An unsatisfactory end to a great little tour.
You currently find me in the most depressing hotel in all of Europe. Flying home today...10 days off!!
See you in America.
ONWARDS.
GD.
