Richard Ashcroft Encourages Liam Gallager To Make A Solo Album And More

No comments











Richard Ashcroft, the frontman of 'The Verve', has told 5 Live that he can't accept Noel Gallagher's offer to work on an album together.

Speaking to Afternoon Edition's Sarah Brett, he said it would "be a sensational record", but added that he had "a deep respect and love for his brother and I think it'd upset Liam a lot."

He didn't, though, rule out working with Noel at some point further down the road, and he encouraged Liam to release his own solo album. Richard's latest album, These People, is released this week.

Watch the interview here.

Richard Ashcroft Wants To Work With Noel and Liam Gallagher On A Musical With Oasis

No comments












Your dream of a Britpop jukebox musical will come true if Richard Ashcroft has anything to do with it.

The Verve frontman wants to work with Oasis stars Noel and Liam Gallagher on a musical, and has already thought about its structure and story, as well as joking that he'd play himself.

"I'd like to do a musical of our songs combined, in a story of both our youths and the combination at the end, and the fact that we have both crossed paths, been mates, looked after each other," Ashcroft told Noisey.

Last year, Noel said he "should make a record" with the Verve frontman but for Ashcroft, he'll work with both of them or neither of them.

"The pros are [Noel is] an amazing songwriter. So if I get 50% on the publishing then it's obviously cha-ching for both of us," Ashcroft explained. "But there's a lot of negatives working with either of them and not working with the other one. It's like being a brother in the middle."

Ashcroft's next collaboration will be with The Who as a special guest at the Isle of Wight Festival, where he'll perform songs from his new solo album These People.

Liam Gallagher Tweets Praise For Richard Ashcroft But Says Noel Is 'Still A C**k'

No comments












Former Oasis wildman Liam got out of the wrong side of his bed this morning and Noel bore the brunt.

Liam Gallagher has had an eventful morning on Twitter paying tribute to rock pal Richard Ashcroft and calling big brother Noel a C-word.

Liam's Twitter was in meltdown on Brits night as he bemoaned the state of some of the acts (fair comment our kid).

He tweeted: "Music in the UK has been abducted by massive c**ks. The end. LG x."

He added: "Thank f*** I got out when I got out out. LG."

This morning he turned his attentions to Verve front man Richard Ashcroft who was presumably on the radio.

He then tweeted Verve lyrics like "I hope you understand, I've got a love that never dies" from their smash hit Lucky man.

But just when you think Liam was all benevolent to his fellow man he tweeted "pass the wine."

And again.

Before addressing his brother Noel (we're assuming it wasn't addressed to Paul Gallagher) as he informed his sibling he was "still a c**k bruv."

We're glad to see the Brothers Gallagher are still as close as ever after all these years.

Liam Gallagher Compared To Kanye West Following Another Rant On Twitter

No comments












Former Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher has launched into another expletive-laden rant on Twitter – leaving fans scratching their heads.

Liam, who last week exploded into a tirade after watching the Brits, has been at it again – prompting baffled fans to wonder if he’s “doing a Kanye” in reference to rapper Kanye West who is known for his Twitter outpourings.

Last night he started off by tweeting about the Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg fight, describing Bury boxer Quigg as a “Rock n Roll star” in reference to one of the Manchester band’s famous songs.

Then this morning he turned his attention to The Verve front man Richard Ashcroft, quoting from their massive hit Lucky Man and tweeting: “Ashcroft gives power get up you bunch of lazy tarts.”

He followed this with “kill the squares”, “big up Dave Malik”, “pass me down the wine” and finally “Still a **** bruv.”

His tweets caused one fan to tweet in reply: “get back to sleep its sunday x” and another quipped: “LG chill out wie the tweets man ur no Kanye.”

Another pointed out: “Liam Gallagher is doing what’s known in Twitterland as a ‘Kanye’ this morning.”

After the Brits on Wednesday Liam was looking back in anger as he passed his opinion on the annual ceremony, condemning the music industry in an expletive-laden tirade, asking: “Where do I ******* start?” before blasting: “Music in the UK has been abducted by massive ***** THE END” signing off with a kiss and his initials LG.

Richard Ashcroft Is Open To Working With Noel Gallagher

No comments












The Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft has suggested that he would be open to working with Noel Gallagher, telling NME in a new interview: "in the future who knows what might happen".

Ashcroft speaks to NME in an exclusive cover feature in this week's magazine (available now, free in the UK).

Ahead of releasing new album 'These People' on May 14, Ashcroft bemoaned the current state of the music industry, saying that he's "got no faith in it whatsoever".

He continued: "It’s sold itself up the river, stabbed people in the back instead of trying to create a good, solid British music alternative. Turn left for Cowell, turn right for this. The mainstream consumed our culture."

"You can get as many songwriters in a room as you want for your new talent show contest winner, it’s never gonna sound like a great Noel Gallagher song sung by Liam, it’s never gonna reach ‘Live Forever’, it’s never gonna be [Verve song] ‘Lucky Man’. We know that."

Last year, Noel Gallagher said he’d be interested in making an album with Ashcroft.

Asked whether he would work with Gallagher, Ashcroft replied: "It’s a great compliment for Noel to say something like that, and in the future who knows what might happen. I wish things like this would’ve happened years ago."

Ashcroft went on to speak of his fondness for his Britpop peers, saying: "Even the guys we had a bit of friction with, I look back and wish them luck. If I hear [Pulp frontman] Jarvis Cocker on the radio it gives me a good feeling. He’s waving a flag for culture from that time. We’re not stopping."

Pretty Green's Manchester Store Hosts Britpop Exhibition

No comments












An Exhibition Of Classic British Record Covers From The 1990s Is To Open At Oasis Star Liam Gallagher's Clothes Store.

The collection of work by photographer Brian Cannon, encompassing the era dubbed 'Britpop', will go on display at a branch of Pretty Green in Manchester, England from Friday (16Oct15).

It will feature the iconic covers that adorned the first two Oasis albums, as well as other well-known rock artwork from the era, including Suede single So Young and the band's album Dog Man Star, Super Furry Animals' first album Fuzzy Logic, and 1977, the debut disc from Ash.

Other Oasis covers in the exhibition include those for their singles All Around the World, Stand By Me, Cigarettes & Alcohol, and Some Might Say, which featured Cannon's parents in the image.

Speaking at the launch, Cannon recalled working with Oasis as they were on the cusp of superstardom, telling the Manchester Evening News, "Nobody knew who they were back then but I think they genuinely did believe that they were something else, that they would be stratospherically big.

"Quality doesn't always guarantee success but they were just brilliant. They really were something else. I just felt it and I thought it would be a travesty if they didn't make it big...

"Don't believe everything you read about them. They were very enthusiastic and totally into it - not just the music but the artwork itself as well. I would have creative meetings with (guitarist) Noel (Gallagher), I'd give him some pointers and he'd come back with some ideas. I got him and he got me. Nothing ever got rejected or re-shot."

The exhibition, which will also feature other rarities including unseen photographs and several handwritten notes from The Verve rocker Richard Ashcroft, runs until the end of October (15).

Noel Gallagher Wants To Make A Record With Richard Ashcroft

No comments











Noel Gallagher has been speaking about Richard Ashcroft in a interview in the current issue of the NME he said "I haven't seen Richard for ages, but whatever he's doing I hope he's making a record. I don't know anyone who's got his phone number. The one he gave me he never answers. He lives in a big stately home and I imagine he's just stoned thinking "What is that f*cking noise?". That 'United Nations Of Sound' record was a f*cking great record. I should make a record with him.

When asked "Would that upset Liam?" Noel replied "Oh, that would be war. The fact you've now put that in my head means I'm definitely going to follow that through. Hopefully he might give himself a black eye".

Noel Gallagher And Richard Ashcroft To Play A One-Off Gig Next Month

No comments













Noel Gallagher will perform a set ‘packed’ with Oasis classics in Dubai next month.

The iconic guitarist and singer will make his UAE debut on Sandance Beach on Friday March 15 – and promoters have told the crowd to expect a set brimming with Oasis hits.

Former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft will also perform at the one-off gig, which is dubbed as being ‘presented by Sandance’, rather than a full Sandance festival.

Gallagher will be backed onstage by his current band the High Flying Birds, whose eponymous debut album was released to critical acclaim in 2011.

However the 45-year-old rocker is expected to relieve his ’90s heyday when he plays in Dubai. The gig’s promoters have seen a sample of Gallagher’s 90-minute set and are expecting ‘around 75 percent’ of the tunes to be drawn from Oasis’ back catalogue, the bulk of which was written exclusively by Gallagher.

‘This is going to be really special,’ a source said, ‘he’s not promoting an album or doing a tour this year, it’s just a one-off show of Oasis classics.’

Ashcroft will support Gallagher playing solo acoustic at the gig, relieving the memorable set he performed at the third Sandance event in October 2011.

Keep an eye on our ticket site today for more details.
