Video: Liam Gallagher: On His Show In Manchester

The former Oasis man has been telling Radio X about his first solo live show and how “people shouldn’t stay at home in fear”.

Liam Gallagher has admitted that it was important that he put on a good performance for his first solo live show in Manchester following the terrorist attacks in the city.

The former Oasis man launched his solo career with a gig at the O2 Ritz - just over a week after 22 people were killed in a bombing at the Manchester Arena, following an Ariana Grande.
Speaking to Radio X’s Johnny Vaughan this morning (1 June), Liam said of the homecoming gig: “It was a mad one - and obviously really emotional.

“I just wanted to put on a good performance, because of what had happened. As much as I enjoyed it, I just wanted to do well, do you know what I mean?

“[The gig] went really quick, you couldn’t hear nothing… so I’m not sure if it was one of our best. But sometimes the emotion comes through, the occasion isn’t about playing great or singing great, it’s just about being there, you know what I mean?

“Listen, I live down here in London, I’ve lived down here for 20 years, my kids are down here. My heart’s in Manchester always will be, I will always be a Manc, as they say.”

Speaking as a huge benefit show was announced for the city’s Emirates Old Trafford Stadium on Sunday 4 June, featuring Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Coldplay, Liam added: “Massive respect for the people that came out. It’s good to get back in the saddle, to get back in and not stay at home in fear, you know what I mean?”

Tickets for the One Love Manchester concert, which takes place at the Emirates Old Trafford on Sunday 4 June, will be Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Take That, Niall Horan, Miley Cyrus and Usher. Tickets for the show are on sale now. Radio X will be providing live coverage of the event.

Liam Gallagher plays his second solo show tonight at Brixton’s Electric. Wall Of Glass is available to download now.

One Direction's Liam Payne Thinks Noel Gallagher Is Sad

Noel Gallagher's recent trashing of the boyband has really got on Liam Payne's goat, so much so that he has declared that the Wonderwall hitmaker is "sad".

The Oasis legend took a pop at One Direction and fellow stars Adele and Ellie Goulding during a rant about the current state of the music industry. He even went as far to describe Payne, Niall Horan, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson as "c***s***ers"

Speaking about the comments on BBC Radio 1's Superstar Playlist Payne accused Gallagher of being two-faced after a recent friendly meeting.

"The funny thing was, I met him the day the story came out," he said. "I didn't know it was coming out, and he came up and said, 'All right, mate? How are you doing?'

"I was like, 'Fine thanks, mate. Nice to meet you'. The next day I read the story and thought, 'How sad is that?' He completely dissed us. Nice to diss your fans, isn't it?"

He added: "It's sad because they genuinely led me to a path of singing. That's something they should be genuinely proud of."

"They don't think before they speak. You never know who was a fan of your music. Especially when you were as big as they were. Do it with grace. Good old Noel, bless him.

"I had to have a moan about that at some point. I'm over it."

One Direction Fans Slam Noel Gallagher On Twitter

Noel Gallagher is not a One Direction fan. That much we are pretty sure of, because he just won’t stop slagging them off.

The former Oasis star seems to blast the young X Factor singers in every interview he gives and most recently he’s not only criticised their music, but their musical genre as a whole and it sounds like he’s pretty wound up about the whole thing!

We can always count on the Wonderwall to be outspoken and controversial and in a new interview with GQ magazine, he turned his attention to the industry and radio sector, blasting:

“[It’s] pretty f**king dreadful, the music is. I can’t get my head round pop music. It’s all on the same frequency.

“It all seems designed to aggravate my teeth. You know music that makes your teeth hurt.”

Turning his rant towards Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson in particular Noel continued:

“Everybody’s winning out of it. One Direction aren’t working in the local f**king Costcutter, so they’re winning.

“The geezer who’s writing the f**king s**t tunes – he’s winning. He’s got f**king new houses coming out of his earholes.

“The record company are winning – ‘cos they’re all getting their f**king bonuses at Christmas.”

If you are a Directioner, or the parent of a Directioner then you might want to look away now because he took his insults to a whole other level, adding:

“The young 12-year-old girls are winning because one day they might actually grow up to give one of them a blowjob. They’re all winning. No-one’s losing.”

Noel’s Twitter mentions quickly filled up with messages from users who didn’t like his comments at all.

Tweets sent to the singer and guitarist included:

“I hate when people like Noel Gallagher slag off pop music. It makes people happy and doesn’t change the fact nobody likes your latest album.”

“Ok I like Oasis but serious can Noel Gallagher stop he’s just being an arse I don’t care if you hate One Direction stop being a knob”

“I have no respect at all for noel gallagher, horrible man”

Noel Gallagher Blasts Radio 1 And One Direction

It’s news to absolutely nobody that brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher – of Oasis fame – don’t hold back on their criticism and acerbic barbs, and in today’s Sun, it’s been reported that this week, it was Noel’s turn to fire several blasts across the bows of Radio 1, One Direction and the music industry in general!

In an expletive filled interview with GQ magazine, Noel began by lambasting Radio 1, remarking, “There’s a lack of soul on Radio 1…

“I mean, what’s going to be the future of chart music?”

Branding the station “pretty f****** dreadful” he added, “I can’t get my head round pop music.

“It’s all on the same frequency. It all seems designed to aggravate my teeth.

“You know music that makes your teeth hurt?

He added, “Everybody’s winning out of it.”

And of One Direction – who are of course Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne – Noel said, “One Diretion aren’t working in the local f****** Costcutter, so they’re winning.

“The geezer who’s writing the f****** s*** tunes, he’s winning. He’s got f****** new houses coming out of his ear holes.

“The record company are winning because they’re all getting their f****** bonuses at Christmas.

“The young 12-year-old girls are winning because one day, they might actually grow up to give one of them a b*** job.

“They’re all winning. No one’s losing.

“The only people who are losing are idiots like me at 9.30 in the morning when you’re trying to get the kids out the door for school, and they’re f****** murdering one of Blondie’s songs.”

Noel Gallagher Blasts 'Dull' One Direction

Just when we thought there wasn’t anyone left on the planet who hadn’t been swept up in One Direction mania, straight-talking Noel Gallagher piped up.

The rock legend has poured scorn on today’s pop squeaks, saying that they are bland and boring.

Noel, 45, said: “Back in the 90s the Top 20 was mostly bands and now it’s all manufactured pop. They have got their careers to think about, so you don’t get anybody swearing or even admitting to smoking.”

Niall Horan, 19, from One Direction recently had to apologise to fans after being pictured having a sneaky cig.

But back in their heyday, Noel’s band Oasis were notorious for their hellraising antics and were regularly involved in feuds with other bands and celebs.

He said: “We were just being ourselves back in the day.

“If you are being yourselves nobody can touch you.”

The gobby Mancunian thinks stars now are too media trained and calculating, adding: “We never brushed anything under the carpet, so to speak. If I was asked a silly question I used to give a silly answer.”

He also isn’t a fan of social networking and slams celebs who use it: “I don’t understand the point of tweeting. Celebrities bastardise it. It’s a nonsense.”

And if you were holding out for a Gallagher fragrance, then you’ll be waiting a while.

“I’m not into that – having your own perfume. If I did, it would be called Toe Rag by Noel Gallagher.”

Lovely.

We don’t know about you, but we wish all celebrities could be as open and honest as Noel.
