Are Oasis Getting Back Together?

Is a Glastonbury reunion part of the Masterplan for battling brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher who want one last chance to shiiiiiiiiine?

It's time to don your parka, practice your monkey walk, and comb your monobrow - Oasis are getting back together, some might say.

Insiders reckon Liam and Noel could be burying the hatchet for a reunion at Glastonbury.

But now insiders reckon that Peggy Gallagher's youngest boys have shaken hands and made up and Oasis are on for a desperate money making much anticipated reunion.

The Sun reports an Oasis insider saying: "Noel and Liam are on speaking terms again so some kind of a reunion could well be a step closer."

They added: "Liam could certainly do with the money. The cash just isn’t rolling in like it used to but his outgoings are bigger than ever...

“Noel doesn’t need the money but it is hard to turn down the buzz of stepping out on the biggest stages in the world, so who could blame him if he eventually changes his mind?

“It is clear he has fallen back in love with Glastonbury and would love to headline that again.”

Glastonbury festival chief Michael Eavis revealed he’s in constant talks with Noel and Liam – who announced Beady Eye had split last month.

Michael, 79, says: “I do talk to Noel and Liam a lot. Wouldn’t it be marvellous for them to relaunch at Glastonbury, now Liam has split from Beady Eye?”

Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, who played guitar in Oasis from 1991-1999 is now in a band with former Smiths' Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke.

Mirror Celeb bumped into him backstage at a Madchester reunion gig for the 50th birthday of Stone Roses axeman Aziz Ibrahim. When we quizzed him about an Oasis reunion Bonehead said he was "sworn to secrecy."

He told us: "I love Beady Eye. I love Noel's High Flying Birds too. But I can't say anything about a reunion.

"I'm sworn to secrecy."

"Besides, I'd be the last person to know."

"But I might offer to come back as band psychiatrist, wear a white coat and drive a bus!"

Russell Brand To Record Oasis' 'Roll With It' With Noel Gallagher

Russell Brand has said he will record an Oasis song in response to people who have been likening his recent rants to Blur's Parklife lyrics.

The comedian's tweets containing his thoughts on society have been bombarded by users writing simply "Parklife".

Brand claimed he was not offended by the tweets, but said he was planning to team up with Noel Gallagher to record a version of the Oasis hit Roll With It.

Oasis were famously Blur's chart rivals and had a high-profile battle to top the charts 19 years ago.

In an interview with radio station Magic, Brand said: "I'm a comedian, and I make all my living out of mucking around and talking, and I've certainly tormented people in the past. So yeah, I don't mind that, I think - unless it's malicious."

He pointed out that his sidekick from his old Radio 2 show, Matt Morgan, had similarly said "Parklife" many years ago when he launched into a rant.

Brand went on: "I don't know Damon Albarn particularly, but I've spoken to Noel Gallagher and we plan to respond with a Roll With It single. I'll say 'Roll with it' after every seven words."

The Parklife trend started after the star tweeted: "This attitude of churlish indifference seems like nerdish deference contrasted with the belligerent antipathy of the indigenous farm folk, who regard the hippie-dippie interlopers, the denizens of the shimmering *** temples, as one fey step away from transvestites."

Journalist Dan Barker's response prompted thousands of tweets: "Russell Brand's writing feels like someone is about to shout 'PARKLIFE!' at the end of every sentence."

Blur's song famously features lyrics about getting woken up by dustmen and feeding the pigeons.

Brand said his old pal Gallagher would not be attending his live show at the Royal Albert Hall in London next week.

"I've not invited him, because he's not been supportive enough lately, " he said.

"If he's seen anywhere near the vicinity, I'm going to have someone grab him by the eyebrow, tie a kite to it, and send him off into the ether."

Noel Gallagher Believes Hallucinogenic Mushrooms Are Superior To Music

Noel Gallagher believes hallucinogenic mushrooms are superior to music because they provide a longer high than a three-minute pop song.

Noel Gallagher thinks taking hallucinogenic mushrooms is better than music.

The former Oasis star admits he was more interested in taking drugs as a youngster rather than becoming a rock star, especial 'magic' mushrooms that make you have weird visions.

Talking about the suburb of Burnage in Manchester where he was raised, he explained: ''Where I come from, it's not musical at all, although Manchester is, obviously.

''I don't say it to be cool, but we were more into taking drugs and banging around in the park [than listening to music]. Music's great and all that, but it's not as good as mushrooms.''

The 47-year-old musician - who will release his second solo album, 'Chasing Yesterday', on March 2, 2015 - added: ''Pop songs are three minutes long. You get a good six hours out of mushrooms.''

Noel also spoke about his performance with former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr last month at The O2 Brixton Academy, London, admitting that he was suffering on stage after having consumed too much alcohol the previous evening.

Speaking at the 'XFM presents An Evening In Conversation With Noel Gallagher' event, he confessed: ''I don't think I've ever been so f***ing hungover on stage in all my life.

''I was getting a back rub from his wife about two minutes before going on. If somebody had come up to me and said 'You don't have to do this' I would have been, like, 'F***ing, yes.'

''It was my wife's birthday the night before and we'd smashed the arse out of it.''

Michael Eavis Says He Wants Noel And Liam Gallagher To Reunite Oasis At Glastonbury

Michael Eavis has said he wants Noel and Liam Gallagher to reunite Oasis at Glastonbury.

The festival boss told the Daily Mirror that he'd love the feuding brothers to perform in the headline slot.

He revealed that he's been talking to Noel and Liam - who announced last month that his latest band Beady Eye had split.

Michael said: "I do talk to Noel and Liam a lot. Wouldn't it be marvellous for them to relaunch at Glastonbury, now Liam has split from Beady Eye?"

The 79-year-old, who was speaking after being honoured with the Music Industry Trusts (MITS) Award, also said he'd like to book Taylor Swift for the Sunday afternoon slot.

"Taylor Swift would be great to follow the Dolly Parton slot - especially being a country singer," he said .

But he told the newspaper that it was very unlikely he'd be getting Fleetwood Mac.

The US rock band had been the bookies' favourite to headline next summer.

Noel Gallagher On Playing Live With Johnny Marr And More

Noel Gallagher has revealed that he was hungover during his recent live performance with Johnny Marr at the O2 Brixton Academy in London last month.

Gallagher had joined Marr on stage during his headline set, performing 'How Soon Is Now' and a cover of Iggy Pop's 'Lust For Life'.

The former Oasis guitarist took part in a Q&A session for XFM radio station yesterday evening (November 3) at the Hammersmith Club in London. Grilled by a panel of interviewers which included Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire, Gallagher discussed his new LP, which is set for release on March 2 next year (2015), plus his recent live team-up with the former Smiths guitarist.

"I don’t think I've ever been so fucking hungover on stage in all my life," he said. "I was getting a back rub from his wife about two minutes before going on stage. If somebody had come up to me and said 'You don't have to do this' I would have been, like, 'Fucking, yes'. It was my wife's birthday the night before and we'd smashed the arse out of it. I forgot I was playing with him. I promised him because he played on my record. He said 'Get up and do 'How Soon Is Now'' and then he drops another song on me on the day. But I did it because I'm a fucking trooper."

"I'd never played 'Lust For Life' before. You forget that you know all the words to it. 'How Soon Is Now' drags on a bit though, doesn't it?"

Gallagher also claimed that Marr has played a pivotal role in his life and career, a fact that he says is often overlooked because of his relationship with his brother and fellow Oasis member, Liam.

Elsewhere during the discussion, Gallagher also revealed how he first met Marr. "During the acid house craze in the late 80s I'd bump into this guy in the Hacienda: didn't know his name or who he was. And we weren't friends, we were just on nodding terms. One day, I bought The The album 'Dusk', which he [Marr] played on. And I bump into this guy I recognize from the Hacienda. He asked me what I bought and he said 'Oh, our kid plays on that.' I said 'Who's your kid?' And he said 'Johnny Marr'. I was like 'Wow'. I told him I was in a band and he said 'Give us a cassette and I'll give it to a kid.' Within an hour, Johnny had called me. And I was a nobody – nobody was into our band, bar the five people in it and a few hangers-on. That was it. But he was on the phone saying 'Ah, I think this is great.' So in many ways he was the first ever fan. Two days later I go for a drink with him. He asked where I get my guitars from. 'Guitars? Guitars? I'll tell you where I got my one guitar from."

Gallagher's upcoming record 'Chasing Yesterday' will be his second solo studio album and features his new single 'In The Heat Of The Moment'. Marr features on the track 'The Ballad Of Mighty I'.

Noel Gallagher Says The Wait To Release His New Album Is Beginning To Do His Head In

Noel Gallagher has admitted that he's spent so long waiting to release his new album 'Chasing Yesterday' that it's beginning to annoy him.

The former Oasis guitarist took part in a Q&A session for XFM radio station yesterday evening (November 3) at the Hammersmith Club in London. Grilled by a panel of interviewers which included Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire, Gallagher took questions on Oasis' reissues and his new LP, which is set for release on March 2 next year (2015).

"I've had it finished since July," he said. "The last tour went on for 15 months and then I had a bit of time off. Then I finished my record early and then I've had to wait for these bloomin' Oasis reissues to stop selling before I can put my record out because it's all run out of the same office. That's not intended to stop you buying them by the way, it's just these things take time. It's been a long time sitting on this record, it's beginning to do my head in."

Noel Gallagher Quit Oasis Over A Leather Jacket

The musician has been telling XFM about the time he quit Oasis… because of a fight between Liam and Bonehead over a jacket.

Noel famously jumped ship from the band while on a US tour in 1996… and it was all down to a row between brother Liam and guitarist Bonehead.

Speaking at a special XFM charity event last night (3 November), Noel told XFM's John Kennedy:

"I had enough when Liam and Bonehead - and this is true - started arguing over a leather jacket. I am not even kidding. I can dress it up more than this, but this is what happened.

"Liam said to Bonehead on the back of the bus: 'Where d'you get that jacket from?' And Bonehead said: 'What's it got to do with you?' It went from that, to fighting!

"Wonderwall was at Number 5 in the charts, the album was at… one push and it would have been Number 1! One tiny week of doing good gigs!"

A Night With Noel Gallagher In Conversation was a special night in which Noel was interviewed by XFM's John Kennedy live on stage, with contributions from Nicky Wire of Manic Street Preachers, former Creation Records boss Alan McGee and ex-Deputy Editor of the NME, Hamish McBain.

Noel Gallagher Not Looking Back On New Album

Noel Gallagher's new album may be called 'Chasing Yesterday' but it is "not reflective".

Gallagher 47, a member of Oasis until his departure in 2009 caused their split will release his "space jazz" and "disco" LP 'Chasing Yesterday' in March and despite an apparently nostalgia-yearning title, he insists the record is not a look at his past.

Speaking about the title, Noel said: "It kind of fits the record. The songs are directed at two people, in a narrative sense - boy, girl, girl, boy. So it's not me looking back. It's not a reflective album at all."

The singer has produced the album for the first time and admits he enjoyed the experience because he could make choices he would otherwise have been advised not to.

He explained to Q magazine: "I just thought, 'F**k it, this time I haven't got a producer telling me what to do', So I left three big songs off that other bands would probably say, 'What the f**k has he done that for?' I did it deliberately to make way for these songs that were a bit more left-field."

Noel Gallagher Says Manchester City Will Never Be As Big A Brand As Manchester United

Manchester City's most famous fan has admitted that the blue half of Manchester may never be as big a club as their city rivals.

Former Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher also said that City shouldn't be expanding their stadium, as they can't even fill its current capacity.

Speaking before Sunday's Manchester derby, Gallagher told Gary Neville that City had changed for the better, but will never be able to rival United as a brand.

'When you started it went from a big club to a mega brand,' Gallagher said to Neville on Sky Sports. 'I don't think City can ever get that.'

'I'm not sure it's a good idea to boost that stadium to 60,000.Because, really, if we were going to get that there'd be 10,000 locked out the stadium every week. When you look at the games and go to the games, there are empty seats.'

However, the City fan also hit out at United supporters over their perceived hypocrisy about spending power.

'It's the hypocrisy I hate,' continued Gallagher. 'They've been slagging City off for years and as soon as the big bad wolf's out the door, it's raining tenners!'

City have been successful in the fixture in recent times, winning five of the last six Premier League meetings.
And with his team finishing a massive 22 points clear of United last season, it is perhaps justified that Gallagher said he would only want David de Gea at his club out of Louis van Gaal's squad.

'I'd take the goalie, straight away,' Gallagher conceded, before joking: 'He could carry Joe [Hart's] kit around, he's a good No 2.

Gallagher also couldn't resist goading Neville about City's first Premier League win over their rivals, when the United defender was at fault for a Shaun Goater goal.

The musician described it as one of his favourite derby memories, before adding that 'It was a special moment'.
'We all knew you were getting the hair-dryer the moment you got in that dressing room.'

Gallery: Noel Gallagher And Stone Roses Legend Mani Enjoy A Night Out In Manchester

They sit on opposite sides of the Manchester footballing divide, but rock stars Mani and Noel Gallagher put those allegiances to one side to team up for a night out in the city.

Stone Roses legend Mani, a lifelong Manchester United fan, and ex-Oasis star Noel a dyed-in-the-wool City fan, headed to celeb-haunt Italian restaurant San Carlo with a group of pals on Friday night.

And they even dressed accordingly - with Noel in a blue bomber jacket and Mani in a red-lined puffa jacket.

Fans rushed to meet the stars as they headed out of the King Street West eatery late on Friday, where they posed for a few obligatory selfies.

The two stars were obviously not bored of each others company as they met again on Saturday afternoon at the same restaurant, this time just for a brief chat.

Shaun Ryder Says 'Liam Gallagher Should Get Himself A TV Chat Show

Happy Mondays' frontman Shaun Ryder has said he thinks Liam Gallagher should get himself a TV chat show.

Ryder made his suggestions for the Beady Eye singer in the new issue of NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally. He said: "Apart from have another crew cut, I think he should get himself a TV chat show."

Others, including Johnny Marr, also gave their suggestions as to what they think the ex-Oasis frontman should do now that his latest band Beady Eye have split. Marr, who performed live with Noel Gallagher earlier this month, maintained that Liam should stick to what he's good at, despite the press attention and drama that follows him.

"Liam loves music and loves being in a band. People shouldn't forget that," he said. "It's a shame all this stuff kicks up, because his fame gets in the way of that love. It's not a job, it's a passion he's had since he was a teenager, and he's really good at it.

"I'd hate to see the consequences of his band breaking up and the soap opera that goes with it stop him making music. Oasis were together a long time; the fact they're brothers might mean they have to go off and live their own lives more than people in a regular band, because they've been together since they were children.

"There is a human being in there, who brings people happiness, and people need to remember that."

Producer Alan McGee, who's known Gallagher since May 1993 when he signed Oasis to Creation Records, added: "I love Liam – whatever he wants to do is fine with me."

This week, it was revealed that Liam Gallagher will perform The Who Band as part of a Teenage Cancer Trust gig next month. It will be his first live appearance since the demise of Beady Eye.

Ghost Of Liam Gallagher Is Trying To Kill Me: Manchester’s Spookiest (And Daft) 999 Calls

Halloween is upon us and MM can reveal that Manchester residents are no strangers to spooky encounters – with police handling more than 100 supernatural reports across the last three years.

Ghost, witch and alien sightings are just a handful of the creepy complaints made to Greater Manchester Police since January 2011.

There were also three reports from people claiming they had been abducted by aliens and 18 instances of witchcraft.

One traumatised individual contacted police in April 2011 claiming ‘Liam Gallagher is a ghost who steals things from her’ and ‘tries to kill her by giving her cancer’.

Another report detailed a Bury man who told police he had been chased around Prestwich by ‘hundreds of aliens’, before adding that he ‘had not had a drink or taken any drugs, just coffee’.

Michael James, an independent paranormal investigator from Atherton, 49, said previous traumas such as abuse and break-ups can often be responsible for such abnormal encounters.

He told MM: “I know for a fact that it's always due to a circumstance in someone's life. Always due.

“It's always due to a trauma. It opens the doors, the corridors, to influences that we shouldn't really be dealing with.

“I just know that there are always explanations for it.”

One case involved a spooked North Manchester man who said he had been abducted by aliens, but ‘felt daft to report it’ because he didn’t think police would believe him.

However some ghostly reports highlight the plight of pranksters abusing the 999 service.

In November 2011, a man dialled the emergency line and ‘requested to speak to Ghostbusters because he sees ghosts and wants them hoovered up’.

He then told the operator she ‘sounded fit and he could show [her] a thing or two’.

Diane Grandidge, GMP’s business lead for call-handling, has warned strongly against abuse of the service.

She said: “Every false or inappropriate 999 call wastes precious time that could be spent dealing with genuine emergencies.

“Apart from potentially putting somebody’s life at risk, misusing the 999 system is a criminal offence and we have the power to prosecute people for making hoax calls.”

Other reports included a woman who dialled 999 and asked for ‘brain police’, before asking why officers wear uniforms ‘when they should be wearing alien outfits’.

A petrified South Manchester woman contacted the force in December 2012 saying ‘she is having curses and spells cast on her by unknown witches’.

Expert Mr James also delivered a warning to those considering engaging in paranormal activities.

The ghost detective added: “I've learnt from a lot of experiences myself and I've had experience with witchcraft over the years. I've studied that – I've seen how dangerous that can be.

“I've studied certain religions. I went to spirit circles over 20 years ago and they never did any good for me.

“I think they're all dangerous and I think you should keep well away.”

Dave Sitek: 'Liam Gallagher Should Get Back In The Studio With Me'

Dave Sitek of TV On The Radio has suggested that Liam Gallagher should record solo material with him following the Beady Eye split.

Sitek produced Beady Eye's second album 'BE' and spoke to NME about what is next for the former Oasis frontman.

"Liam's hilarious, that guy really makes me laugh. And he's super talented," Sitek says. "I remember when he first went up to the microphone, we had no effects and it was just like, 'wow'. He should either have a show or get back in the studio with me and we'll make a couple of tracks for fun."

Another On This Day In Oasis History...

Wonderwall is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by the band's guitarist and chief songwriter Noel Gallagher. Released as the third single from (What's the Story) Morning Glory? on October 30th 1995.

Wonderwall peaked at number two in the UK Singles Charts and proved to be their American breakthrough, reaching number eight on the Hot 100 and giving them their only top-ten hit in the US thus far.

Wonderwall is perhaps their most popular song, despite the fact that British TV stars Robson & Jerome's "I Believe"/"Up on the Roof" kept it out of the top slot. Wonderwall continues to have enduring popularity in Oasis's canon; as of 2008, it was 76th in the UK's list of best-selling singles, and has now sold over a million copies in single and download sales in the UK, where it went platinum.

The song is included on Oasis's compilation album Stop the Clocks.

Background

The song takes its name from the 1968 album Wonderwall Music by George Harrison, at the time still a member of the Beatles.[3] Harrison's album was in fact a soundtrack to the film Wonderwall, but the film has remained unknown by the general public. The original title of the track was "Wishing Stone".

It is often claimed that "Wonderwall" was written for Gallagher's then-girlfriend, Meg Mathews. Noel married Mathews in 1997, but the couple divorced four years later. Gallagher now claims that the song was not about Mathews at all, but he felt he had to go along with the rumour, saying "The meaning of that song was taken away from me by the media who jumped on it. How do you tell your Mrs it's not about her once she's read it is? It's a song about an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself."

Recording

The song was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, during a two-week recording of the 'Morning Glory' album in May 1995. According to producer Owen Morris, the song was completed in 6-8 hours.

Morris claimed that Gallagher had presented an alternative arrangement of the song "which had some extra complicated pre-bridge bits that didn't have singing or melody - but just had some chord changes - which seemed completely unnecessary", the night before it was recorded. This idea was quickly shelved.

Noel initially wanted to sing this song on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, but he gave his brother Liam Gallagher the choice, and Noel ended up singing "Don't Look Back in Anger".



















Live performances

Noel debuted the song on UK TV, backstage at Glastonbury and broadcast on Channel 4 on June 24, 1995. The song wasn't performed by the band during their headline performance the night before.

In August 2002, Noel changed the arrangement of his live performances of the song to a style admittedly heavily-influenced by Ryan Adams' cover version of the song. This arrangement has continued to his most recent live performances of the song. When the full band performs the song live, with electric guitars, it's still in the original style as presented on the record. During the 2008 tour, however the band have return to performing the song in a semi acoustic form.

A live version of the song, recorded at Wembley Stadium in 2000, is featured on the band's live album Familiar To Millions.

In an interview with Q magazine in August 2008, Liam said that he hates performing the song: "I can't stand that fucking song, every time I have to sing it, I want to gag. Problem is 'Wonderwall' was a big big tune for us and so you go to America and they're like, 'Are you Mr Wonderwall?', and you want to chin someone."

Video

The music video to the song was filmed in the relatively brief period when bassist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan quit the band due to nervous exhaustion; Scott McLeod came in to replace him.



Cover art

The sleeve artwork was inspired by the paintings of the Belgian surrealist René Magritte, and was shot on Primrose Hill in north London. The hand holding the frame is that of art director Brian Cannon; the woman is Anita Heryet, a Creation Records employee. The original idea was to have Liam in the frame before Noel vetoed that idea whilst the shoot was taking place.

Chart history

It reached No.2 in the UK charts.

In the US it also peaked at #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart for an unprecedented ten weeks (this amount was later eclipsed in 1998 by Marcy Playground), and reached #8 on the Hot 100.

Awards and accolades

In 1995, "Wonderwall" came in at number one in the national Australian music poll, the Triple J Hottest 100.

The promo video for "Wonderwall", directed by Nigel Dick, won the Best British Video award at the 1996 BRIT Awards.

In the Grammy Awards of 1997 the band received a nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group and Noel Gallagher picked another nomination for Best Rock Song, winning none.

In 2003, VH1 ranked the song at number 95 in its countdown of the "100 Greatest Songs Of The Past 25 Years."

In May 2005, "Wonderwall" was voted the best British song of all time, in a poll of over 8,500 listeners conducted by Virgin Radio.

The song "Wonderwall" placed 105 of the 3000 top songs of all time on the website acclaimedmusic.net.

In August 2006, "Wonderwall" was named the second-greatest song of all time in a poll conducted by Q Magazine, finishing behind another Oasis song, "Live Forever".

In 2006, U2's guitarist The Edge named "Wonderwall" one of the songs he most wishes he'd written.

In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Wonderwall" at number 27 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever.

In December 2007, it came in number 35 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's countdown.

In early 2007, "Wonderwall"'s drumming, provided by Alan White, was voted 90th best drumming track ever in Modern Drummer magazine.
