Noel Gallagher Pokes Fun At The Guardian And The Royal Family During Latitude Set

Noel Gallagher headlined the final day of Latitude festival on Sunday (July 19) with a set of solo hits and Oasis classics, describing the festival as “a fucking Guardian reader’s rally”.

"Someone told me the backstage pass is a copy of today’s Guardian," he said ahead of playing a country version of Oasis’ ‘Fade Away’, the fourth song after opening his set with ‘Everybody’s On The Run’ from the band’s self-titled 2011 debut and ‘Lock All The Doors’ and ‘In The Heat Of The Moment’ from this year’s ‘Chasing Yesterday’. His tongue-in-cheek digs at the newspaper continued throughout the set.

He dedicated Oasis’ ‘Champagne Supernova’ to “all the Guardian writers at the back strung out on some really good rosé, this is called ‘Champagne Socialist’” and introduced ‘Talk Tonight’ in a posh accent, quipping “or, as a Guardian reader might say, ‘We fucking need to talk, man’”.

Gallagher was in talkative mood throughout, introducing ‘Riverman’ by commenting on the size of his brass player’s saxophone. “Look at the size of the saxophone on this feller,” he said, adding, “Anybody else got a saxophone that big?” When an audience member replied, he continued the penis metaphor: “But you can’t have, you’re a girl”.

Later, before playing 1994 Oasis single ‘Whatever’, he engaged in more front row banter, spotting someone with an unspecified animal in the crowd and demanding “Kill it! On television, kill an animal in front of the middle classes. If you don’t I’ll kick its face in. You’re all farmers, you kill animals for a living. And rightly so, I love a bit of meat.”

Then, before ‘The Mexican’ he asked the audience: “Is it true they don’t let scousers into this festival? Are there any Mexicans here?” Addressing someone in the front row he continued, “No way, you’re fucking ginger. A ginger Mexican is rarer than a unicorn.”

When a crowd member cried out for ‘Live Forever’, Gallagher replied “A duet? Me and you? Are you on the brown acid? I’m just humouring this bloke so he buys a T-shirt. If you go to the merchandise stall and buy everything with my name on it, me and you will do ‘Live Forever’. And I mean all of it, even the shit girls' T-shirts”.

The guitarist then played ‘The Masterplan’, calling it “another B-side that became a classic. There won’t be any of them in the future.”

Other dedications during the set included Gallagher sending out ‘If I Had A Gun’ to “the coolest person at the festival – not Nicky Wire, my wife. This is for you, Dave” and Oasis B-side ‘Half The World Away’ to “the Royal Family. Not the Nazi-sympathising Windsors, the fictional northern Royle Family, danke shon.”

Concocting a set around solo singles such as ‘The Death Of You And Me’, ‘AKA… What A Life!’ and ‘Dream On’ and rarer Oasis tracks, including a rocked-up take on ‘Digsy’s Dinner’, he closed the 90-minute set with a huge singalong of ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’, letting the crowd singing the first two choruses.

Liam and Noel Gallagher Invited To Compete In A Wrestling Match

After years of feuding and wielding guitars at one another, Noel and Liam Gallagher have been offered the chance to compete in a wrestling match.

TNA Wrestling are convinced a few rounds will rid them of their sibling angst - and allow them to finally reform Oasis.

A pledge has been sent to the Gallagher brothers from the American promotors to step inside the ring during their UK tour in January 2016.

(It's a ridiculous notion, but we'll let them have their promo moment).

Speaking to BANG Showbiz, TNA ring announcer-and-matchmaker Jeremy Borash said: "They need to get together in the ring and settle their differences once and for all - and then reunite Oasis.

"We've got to do it in Manchester, I think the crowd would be really up for it, I think it would be an awesome fight. Once it's all over, whatever the result, we want Oasis back touring and making music."

Jeremy has offered to train Noel, 48, and has already come up with a signature move for the guitarist.
He added: "Noel is by far the more talented of the two but when it comes to in-ring skills he's going to need my help. He's a High Flying Bird now so I want to teach him how to do a high flying splash!"

The TNA Wrestling Tour comes to the Manchester Arena on January 29 before heading to London's SSE Arena on January 30 and the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham on January 31.

Spokesperson For Liam Gallagher Denies He's Working With Lee Mavers

A spokesperson for Liam Gallagher has denied recent reports linking him to a new musical project with Lee Mavers of The La's.

Tabloid reports last week (July 13) suggested that Gallagher has spent the last two months writing and recording with Mavers after the pair were brought together by former Beady Eye and La's drummer Chris Sharrock.

"Despite all the madness and excitement that surrounds Liam's personal life, he has always been very serious about his music and doesn't want to be retired or left waiting for his brother to decide he wants to bring Oasis back," a source told The Sun.

 "Liam and Lee share a lot of similar ideas about music and although Liam has had his fair share of success with his own self-penned songs, his voice and swagger combined with Lee's undoubted ear for a chorus could create something very special."

However, a spokesperson for Gallagher today (July 22) has confirmed that the reports are incorrect, saying "there isn't any truth in this."

Earlier this year it was reported that Oasis had come to a "gentleman's agreement" to reform. Noel Gallagher subsequently denied that he would be interested in the move, claiming that the rumour came from a "source close to Liam".

Liam also compared his older brother to Katie Hopkins in a separate tweet about the ongoing rumours of an Oasis reunion.

Beady Eye split in October 2014 after releasing two albums together.

Listen Again: Noel Gallagher On Desert Island Discs

Noel Gallagher On His Wife Sara, Oasis, Liam, Tony Blair And More

Smitten rocker Noel Gallagher has revealed how he fell in love with wife Sara MacDonald at first sight.

On an edition of Desert Island Discs aired today, the Oasis star chooses Be My Baby by The Ronettes – the song for the ­couple’s first dance at their ­wedding in 2011.

He tells the Radio 4 show’s host Kirsty Young that his wife is “everything to me” and reveals she keeps him in check with straight-talking.

He said: “She calls a spade a spade as well. When I am ­working on music or writing songs and I do demos, she’s the last person I play them to because I can play her a song and go ,‘I think this is going to be an amazing tune’ and she’ll listen to it and go, ‘Hmm, it’s all right’.

“You know, I never believed in love at first sight or that soulmate thing until I met her.”

The couple, who have two young sons – Noel also has a daughter from his first marriage – have been together since meeting at a nightclub in Ibiza in 2000.

And Sara, who comes from ­Edinburgh, was watching Noel headline at T in the Park last week with his band High Flying Birds.

On the show – where guests choose the music they would take to a desert island – Noel also talks about his ­turbulent relationship with his estranged brother Liam, the singer with Oasis, whose hits included Wonderwall and Live Forever.

He describes how having a family member in the band became an Achilles heel because “you know how to push each other’s buttons” and reveals they never put an arm round each other’s shoulders.
He said: “Oh, no. We were never that kind of family. No, no, no. There’s no arms round each other saying, ‘You’re great – no, you’re great.’

“The way it worked was when we’re not slagging each other off, that’s when we’re telling each other that we loved each other. That’s it.”

Noel also revealed he has no regrets about meeting Tony Blair in Downing Street at the height of Cool Britannia.

Oasis were one of the biggest bands in the world when he attended the party following Blair’s landslide general election victory in 1997.

They gave celebrity backing to the PM and New Labour but the singer and songwriter says he couldn’t believe he and Scots record boss Alan McGee – who famously signed the band after seeing them play at King Tut’s in Glasgow – were even there.

He added: “I’d moved to London in 1994, three years earlier, with a holdall, an acoustic guitar, nothing.

“Three years later, I drove to No10 Downing Street in a Rolls- Royce, drinking ­champagne. We laughed all the way up there, me and Alan McGee.

“He’d worked at British Rail most of his life and we were laughing, going, ‘How did we get here? This is amazing.’

“Afterwards, you find out that, yes, they did want that ­photograph. So, you know, we helped usher in Labour. You’re welcome, all of you. They were great days.”

Noel, 48, also reveals his love of the era. He said: “What people are refusing to accept is the 90s were brilliant. If you think back now to that time of fashion and ­politics, Thatcherism being ­ushered out, New Labour being ushered in, and Oasis, Blur, Pulp and all those bands being in the top five all the time.”

The star’s song choices include Pretty Vacant by the Sex Pistols and With or Without You by U2.
He also reveals that only now Oasis are finished can he give his verdict on the band.

He said: “On our day, we were great. It’s reaffirmed every night I go on stage and play a couple of Oasis tunes and people are there who weren’t even born [when they were written] and they’re crying.
“All over the world, people still are in massive love with that band and none more so than me.”

Gallagher Brothers' Relationship 'Was Achilles Heel For Oasis'

Cast away on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Noel Gallagher is to reveal the secret of his relationship with his brother, Liam, and to mount a sturdy defence of the 1990s, the era of BritPop and New Labour.

He will also comment on his use of drugs and on his status as a songwriter, explaining ruefully: “Put it this way, I am not as revered by the press as Thom Yorke or Damon Albarn. That is just a fact.”
Assessing the impact of Oasis, the band he set up with his brother, he says: “On our day we were great. People are there now at my concerts that weren’t even born then and they are crying at Oasis songs. All all over the world people are still in massively in love with that band – and none more so than me.”

On the subject of the rows with Liam that eventually caused the breakup of the band, Gallagher, 48, explains: “The way it worked was, when were not slagging each other off, that’s when were telling each other that we loved each other. That’s it. Clearly there was a point where he was the greatest singer in the world and it was great. It just so happens that the two of us we like to call a spade a spade. But it was very sarcastic mud-slinging.”

Gallagher tells presenter Kirsty Young that the pair had got on well as children in Burnage, Manchester. “He was an irritant though, because we shared a bedroom. When you are 10 and your brother is five it is a lifetime away and so I never hung out with any of his friends, but, yeah, we got on.” In the band, their sibling status was a mixed blessing, he adds. “You can gain some strength from being in a band with your brother when everyone else is a stranger, but as time goes on it becomes your achilles heel because you know how to push each other’s buttons.”

Gallagher, who has played solo and with his band High Flying Birds since 2009, confesses that in 1998 he realised the last three Oasis albums had all been created “on drugs”. “Not all of Oasis were on drugs though. Just effectively me and Liam,” he says. A move out to the country was followed by “a moment of clarity” when he found a stranger in his kitchen the morning after a party and decided to give up drugs.

“I have good willpower. It was one of the greatest things I have ever done,” he says, explaining he met his second wife, Sarah MacDonald, shortly after this.

Choosing the music of many of his heroes, such as David Bowie and the Smiths, to take to the desert island, Gallagher says he still regards the Beatles as “the greatest thing in music that ever was”.
Contrasting his heyday in the 1990s with the “gloomy, dark, fractured times” of the 70s and 80s, before the arrival of the “modern man”, Gallagher tells Young that people “have to admit” the Britpop era was great.

“What people are refusing to accept is that the 90s were brilliant. Think about that time, with Thatcher being ushered out and New Labour coming in. And Oasis, Blur and Pulp all those bands in the top five all the time. They were great days.”

He selects Jack Kerouac’s On the Road as his Desert Island Book, explaining it is the only book he has ever read..
