Jay-Z Kicks Off Glastonbury Set With Oasis Cover

The rapper mocks Noel Gallagher's criticism of his headline slot

Jay-Z kicked off his controversial Glastonbury headline slot tonight (June 28) with an Oasis cover - hitting back at Noel Gallagher's criticism of his booking.

Before the show started, a montage of clips played, concluding with the recent interview Gallagher gave where he said the Pyramid Stage performance was "not right" for the festival.

Before a huge crowd, the superstar rapper then mimed along to Oasis' huge 1995 hit 'Wonderwall', to huge cheers.

Speaking earlier to Tim Westwood for Radio 1 and 1Xtra, Jay-Z said of the Gallagher controversy: "You know that sometimes remarks are made out of ignorance. If Noel Gallagher saw me perform and he said that then I understand that - that is a personal opinion and I have no bearing on how he feels – you know – it's just not your taste. But he has never seen me perform - I'm sure or else he wouldn't say that. We will see what happens after tonight!

"You know the funny thing about it with Noel and whoever else – for the most part, everyone's ready. I thought the resistance - it would be like – I thought it would be like an old guard versus the new guard but it's really not like that. You know, right now, every single person that I have seen, that I've encountered, that walked up to me - everyone is very excited about the show and ready for it so I feel good about it."

Hoosier Money On, Noel Or Jay-Z?

Better get The Hoosiers' frontman Ian Sparkes a big wooden spoon because he's been stirring up trouble between Noel Gallagher and Jay-Z.

In a tense stand-off over the past two months, the two musicians have been caught up in a war of words. And now naughty Ian thinks they should sort it out in a fight.

He told us: "I'd pay to go and see Noel and Jay-Z slug it out. Noel wouldn't stand a chance though - Jay-Z's a big bloke. He'd kick his arse."

How mature.

Jay-Z's Glasto Rap For Noel Gallagher

Jay-Z will deliver the ultimate two-finger salute to Noel Gallagher when the hip-hop star headlines at Glastonbury tonight.

Oasis star Noel stuck his neck out and claimed The Jiggaman’s type of music was Wrong for the festival.

Now the American plans to broadcast Noel’s innocent, throwaway musings to Glasto’s 300,000 punters when he takes to the Pyramid Stage.

Bizarre lord Noel joked that hip-hop topping the bill at the Somerset bash was a blunder.

His typically cheeky red-carpet interview last April, in which he insisted hip-hop had no place at Worthy farm, soon mushroomed into an international music crisis.

Now Jay-Z has secured rights to the interview — as well as Gwyneth Paltrow's defence of Jay-Z a few days later — and will pump it all out at a deafening volume across the rolling hills of Glasto before he wheels out his rap bangers.

That’s one way to face down the critics.

But last night Noel shrugged it off as a storm in a teacup. He said: “Blaring out? I f****** doubt it very much. There aren’t enough speakers. Well, I guess it will make the first five minutes interesting.”

So here is what Noel originally had to say about Glasto: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If you start to break it then people aren’t going to go. I’m sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance.

“Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw in the odd curve ball on a Sunday night you go, ‘Kylie Minogue?’ I don’t know about it. But I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.”

The Brooklyn-born former drug dealer has been blamed for poor ticket sales at this year’s event. And news he was to top the bill on the prestigious Saturday night shocked many.

Pelted

But with millions of album sales under his belt, there’s little doubt the Grammy winner is one of the most successful solo males on the circuit at the moment.

Hip-hoppers have a history of not being particularly well received at British music festivals, though. 50 Cent battled a barrage of urine-filled bottles when he played Reading Festival in 2004.

And Brit MC Lethal B was pelted with clods of earth during his set at the Download Festival earlier this month.

But Jay-Z is clearly a sharp character and a proper showman to dream up a stunt like this.

It wouldn’t surprise me if, for his encore, he belted out Wonderwall.

Oasis And Arctic Monkeys Bookmakers Favourites For Headline Act At Glastonbury 2009

Despite reports of the demise of the Glastonbury, bookmakers William Hill are confident that the world's largest festival is here to stay.

William Hill are offering betting odds of 12/1 that Glastonbury does not take place in 2009 and are already betting on the headline act for next year.

Betting odds suggest that the Arctic Monkeys will be the headline act at 3/1 with Oasis 8/1 and the unlikely Leona Lewis at 33/1.

"Glastonbury is a highly successful event and one we expect to continue for many years. That said we do not think the organisers will choose such a controversial headline act next year and make the Artic Monkeys are favourites to headline in 2009." said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

Noel Gallagher On The New Oasis Album

Noel Gallagher talked briefly about three new Oasis songs, from the band's new album ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ on the Ken Bruce Show on BBC Radio 2 yesterday morning.

Thanks to 32shutout.

'I Don't Think Noel's Seen Me Perform'

“Never underestimate the power of hip-hop – what it can do, what we can do,” says Jay-Z defiantly.

He is, of course, talking about his controversial headline slot at this weekend’s Glastonbury Festival, a booking that’s been the talking point of the summer.

The first rapper to headline the festival in its 38-year history, his booking has been met with criticism and blamed for poor ticket sales after the three-day event failed to sell out.

But tomorrow night, Jay-Z — who festival organiser Emily Eavis describes as “the greatest living hip-hop artist” — is hoping to silence his critics when he takes to the Pyramid Stage.

Interviews with the Brooklyn rapper are rare but he’s agreed to an exclusive chat with us and when he calls from Norway, where he is headlining Hovefestivalen, SFTW find him in a confident mood.

He says: “I am excited about playing Glastonbury. I feel like a new artist again, playing in front of new people as an unproven artist. I love that. I love going out there to show a new crowd just what you can do.

“I just want people there to have an open mind. Don’t judge me ’til you see me. Don’t knock the power of hip-hop.”

When it was announced in February that Jay-Z would top the Glastonbury bill, it seemed everyone had an opinion. Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher was the most vocal saying: “Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

“I’m sorry but Jay-Z? No chance. I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.”

But Jay-Z doesn’t care what Noel thinks.

Dent

“When someone makes judgments like that, they are kind of ignorant. Yeah, I have heard Noel’s music, but I have never seen him or Oasis play so I can’t say whether his show is rubbish. Until I see him perform, I can’t really give an opinion on him.

“But I don’t think he has ever seen me perform — I should send him a ticket.”

And Jay-Z — real name Shawn Carter — isn’t letting the commotion dent his enthusiasm for his big night. He explains: “I have a saying, ‘What people think about you is none of your business’. That’s why I am not taking notice. I’m ready for my show and the rest is ridiculous.”

While he won’t disclose whether new wife Beyonce, Amy Winehouse or good friend Coldplay’s Chris Martin will be joining him on stage, he coolly reveals that he hasn’t felt under pressure to change his show.

“I will pretty much run the same set because I’ll have just started the tour. I’ll probably move things around a little bit based on which songs work.

“I usually play a couple of nights and then move the order, just trying to find the magic flow. Once I find that flow I’ll just go with that set.”

Coldplay Forum Dirty Tricks?

NME recently had a contest to see which song would launch the new NME radio station. Oasis were leading all votes with What's the Story Morning Glory as Polls closed. But to our surprise a Muse song won (how that happened nobody at NME fucking cares to explain)

It seems that our buddies at the largest Coldplay forum had a plan in place on how to topple Oasis from #1

Coldplay fans were urged to give Oasis the lowest number (1) and use an autorefresh program to cast Coldplay votes. Although they failed in winning the contest one can only wonder what other sites went through to get their results......

I also posted a comment on my blog as to why Oasis had not been the first song played on it's radio.

I emailed The NME and i'm as yet to get a reply as to why the voting was not stopped at 5PM as it stated on the NME website.

Loads of Oasis fans emailed in the NME yesterday on various other sites and forums, and as yet none have had a reply.

What’s The Story, Japan Glory

Did he ask for a (sushi) roll with it?

That’s the question Insider just couldn’t resist, when it heard Noel Gallagher had played an impromptu gig at Japanese restaurant Sapporo Teppanyaki.

Apparently the Oasis legend was more than happy to entertain staff and fellow diners at the Duke Street eaterie when he popped in for the second time in a month.

An insider reports: "The guys came into the restaurant a couple of times and they were really friendly.

"Noel was very nice and after he had something to eat, he got his guitar out and started playing. He even shook hands with a couple of businessmen who were also having lunch that day."

Noel is clearly loving the Capital of Culture right now. After spending the weekend in the city celebrating his 41st birthday, he’s since been spotted drinking with mates, including Oasis guitarist Gem, in Ye Cracke and also laughing at the David Beckham posters in the window of Pink bar on Victoria Street.

Insider spies have also seen him at the Hard Day’s Night Hotel, Mathew Street, the Metropolitan and Bumper.

New Oasis Album & Single Details Announced

The Shock Of The Lightning’ new single out September 29th

‘Dig Out Your Soul’ new album out October 6th

Oasis are set to return later this year with a new single and their seventh studio album. The single,‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ is released on September 29th and the album, ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ follows in October; it is the first new Oasis music since last year’s ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’, taken from the on the road film of the same name. ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ sees Dave Sardy return to the producer’s chair following his work on their 2005 album, ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’. Recorded at Abbey Road and mixed in Los Angeles, all four members once again contribute tracks, but the recording marks a new approach for the band as described by the band’s principle songwriter, Noel:

“I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight. I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic; more driving. Songs that would draw you in, in a different way. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel.”

The lead single is still unmistakably Oasis, a Noel penned song with Liam’s immediately familiar voice to the fore underlining their distinctive brand of finger in the socket rock ’n’ roll.

‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ may well represent the most recognisable Oasis song on the album but, again, the new approach on ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ was present on this lead track as Noel explains:

“If ‘The Shock Of The Lightning’ sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. ‘The Shock of The Lightning’ basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best.”

‘Dig Out Your Soul’ will be the first album released on the band’s own Big Brother label worldwide.

Oasis Are Voted Third Best Festival Band of All Time

As festival season kicks in with Glastonbury 2008 next weekend, users of MSN Music have been having their say on the best and worst festival moments of all time.

Muse, who headline 2008's V Festival, were voted the best festival performers of all time, polling 31% of the 1209 votes. Gnarly legends The Rolling Stones, who headlined 2007's Isle Of Wight Festival, came second place (17%) followed by Oasis and Nirvana (11%).

Is Jay-Z right for Glastonbury?
More interestingly, Michael and Emily Eavis's decision to book Jay-Z for this year's Glastonbury has already been voted one of the worst festival moments of all time by 28% of music fans. His forthcoming Saturday headline slot is only 'beaten' by the grotty state of festival toilets (an understandable worst festival moment for 47%).

Noel Gallagher caused a media storm earlier this year by saying Jay-Z is "wrong for Glastonbury", but it seems a sizeable minority do agree with the Oasis songwriter, even though Jay-Z hasn't even performed. Glastonbury has been voted only the third best festival after Reading/Leeds and V.

The full results of the MSN poll are as follows...

Best festival performers of all time:

1. Muse - 31%

5. The Killers - 8%
6. Radiohead - 7%
7. David Bowie - 5%
8. Coldplay - 4%
9. James Brown - 3%
10. Morrissey - 2%

Best festival line up for 2008:

1. Reading / Leeds - 35%
2. V Festival - 17%
3. Glastonbury - 13%
4. Download - 10%
5. T in the Park - 10%
6. Isle of Wight - 7%
7. Bestival - 3%
8. Creamfields - 2%
9. The Big Chill - 1%
10. Wireless - 1%

The artist that UK fans would most like to perform with:

1. Metallica - 23%
2. REM - 13%
3. Kaiser Chiefs - 13%
4. The Verve - 11%
5. Amy Winehouse - 10%
6. Sex Pistols - 8%
7. Kiss - 7%
8. Fat Boy Slim - 6%
9. Jay-Z - 5%

Worst festival moment of all time:

1. The toilets at any music festival - 47%
2. Michael Eavis announcing Jay-Z as a headliner at Glastonbury 2008 - 28%
3. Daphne and Celeste performing at Reading 2000 - 15%
4. The trench foot of Glastonbury 2005 - 7%
5. Morrissey singing at Madstock 2002 - 2%
6. The Stone Roses festival at Spike Island 1990 - 1%
