Noel Gallagher: 'Russell Brand Should Stand In The Next Election'

No comments













Russell Brand's plans for revolution have been doubted by Noel Gallagher, who says he thinks the comedian's political career might go the same way as his acting career.

Speaking in a new interview, Gallagher was asked about the aspirations his friend Brand has for leading people into a "no-vote" revolution, to which he replied that he thinks the comedian's "heart is in the right place" and suggest that he should stand in the 2015 general election.

"I think his revolutionary ideals might be as short-lived as his acting career!" Gallagher said, adding: "He's a good lad, Russell, and I love him dearly like a boyfriend. I think he should stand in the election, because it's alright saying the words and all, but then you're relying on other people to implement all this stuff you're going on about."

In the same interview with XFM Gallagher said that he is free to perform at Glastonbury in 2015, if organisers want him.

Dave Grohl recently said that Foo Fighters would headline Glastonbury if Oasis and Prince did it too. While not commenting on the possibility of a reunion with brother Liam, Noel went on to praise Grohl and hint that he has a free weekend in June that coincides with the 2015 event.

Noel Gallagher Doesn't See The Appeal In Reforming Oasis

No comments













Noel Gallagher is a guest on The Jonathan Ross Show week’s show, and has been talking about Oasis and his pal Russell Brand.

“He is a very dear friend… He should stand in the election I think, his heart is in the right place but he does waffle on a bit you know...” he said.

He was also quizzed on whether he’ll ever get back with his former bandmates.

“Last time I interviewed you we were talking and I said ‘Would Oasis ever play again?’... You said ‘I’ll get back together with Oasis on the day you go work for the BBC again…’ Jonathan said to Noel.

“Now about three months ago, I did some work for Radio 2 again. They’ve asked me to do some more so… Are you a man of your word?”

Noel responded: “Does that mean I’ve got to reform a band?”

On a reunion with Oasis, Noel added: “I don’t see the appeal, I don’t see it, if I close my eyes, I don’t see it happening, that’s not to say that it never will but I’ve got a lot of things going on at the moment.”

Noel Gallagher On The Oasis For Glastonbury Rumours: "I'm Available That Weekend"

No comments













Noel Gallagher has poured fuel on the rumours that a reformed Oasis might play Glastonbury in 2015 in an exclusive interview with XFM's Jon Holmes this morning.

The comments came after Jon played Noel a clip of Dave Grohl calling on Oasis to reform. The Foo Fighters frontman said his band would play the festival - but only if Oasis and Prince did too.

"He's great," said Noel, "What they say about him is true. He is genuinely one of the nicest men in rock.

"We've done some big gigs with them down the year. Great lads, all of them."

When Jon pressed him for an answer on Glastonbury 2015, Noel gave a short but teasing answer.

"I'm available that weekend - it's not up to me though, is it?"

Noel Gallagher Quit Cocaine Because Of Pyramids, Aliens And The Beatles

No comments













Noel Gallagher has confessed he stopped taking cocaine in 1998 because he'd grown tired of ''talking about pyramids, aliens and The Beatles''.

Noel Gallagher stopped taking cocaine because he got ''bored'' of talking about aliens.

The 'In The Heat Of The Moment' singer has revealed that although he still smokes cigarettes and enjoys drinking alcohol, he no longer takes the Class A drug because he's ''bored'' of having bizarre conversations.

The 47-year-old rocker admits he used to spend hours ''talking about pyramids, aliens and The Beatles and who shot JFK [US President John F. Kennedy]'' at his nightly parties.

He said: ''I had exhausted every avenue of conversation. I had parties at all of my houses every night. I just assumed that is what you did. That is what is expected of you. That is why it is the greatest business in the world.''

Despite confessing to once taking cocaine in Queen Elizabeth's toilet at Downing Street, the former Oasis star claims he didn't find it difficult to kick the habit back in 1998.

Speaking on an episode of 'The Jonathan Ross Show', which is to air on Saturday (22.11.14), he explained: ''It was easy to give up. I am very disciplined and I just thought one afternoon, 'I am bored now'. And I thought, 'This is against the law.' ''

But Noel - who says he will ''never give up the cigarettes and the booze'' - insists he won't warn his three children off of drugs.

Speaking about his two sons Donovan, seven, and Sonny, four, with wife Sara MacDonald and his 14-year-old daughter Anais from his marriage to Meg Matthews, he added: ''We plan to let them find their own way in life. If they ever get too close to the edge we will pull them back.

''I would have not liked my parents to preach to me about anything about life.''

Audio: Andrew Weatherall's Remix Of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds‘ ‘In The Heat Of The Moment’

No comments













If this seems like a strange fit, think again: Weatherall’s only a few degrees of separation away from Noel through his work on Screamadelica, and he’s regularly lent his winning touch to UK guitar bands, from My Bloody Valentine to Starsailor. In typical Weatherall fashion, it’s a patient remix, hypnotically building tension for a good four minutes before letting Noel’s vocal loose. And that ending, with the flanged hi-hats? Yes mate.

Noel Gallagher Reveals He Got Drunk Recording Gogglebox

No comments











British rocker Noel Gallagher has revealed he got drunk before filming a fundraising comedy skit because his supermodel co-stars Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell were so late.

The former Oasis star predicted his modelling mates would be late and so he made sure he had plenty of good alcohol to sup while he waited - and he overindulged.

He admits he was so intoxicated when he arrived home after filming, he had no idea what his wife was talking about when she asked how the skit, filmed for last month's (Oct14) U.K. Stand Up To Cancer telethon, went.

Gallagher tells Absolute Radio, "I told the woman (producer), 'I guarantee you, Naomi Campbell will not be here before midnight... You're an idiot... You'll be lucky if Kate gets here before three in the morning!' I got there on time... (and) they both rock up at 10 o'clock, so by that time I'm already drunk. We were supposed to finish filming at 10 o'clock... We got out at quarter to two."

But he insists he had a great time with his pretty pals: "It was one of the best nights."

Noel Gallagher On Why He Doesn't Put "100 Percent" Effort Into His Records Or Live Shows

No comments













Noel Gallagher says he doesn't ever put "100 percent" effort into his records or live shows because he has to save some energy back.

Noel Gallagher "didn't put that much effort" into his new album.

The 47-year-old rocker recently completed his album 'Chasing Yesterday' - which comes out next March - but claims he only put about "75 percent" of his total effort into the LP because he got distracted.

He said: "This time I did the record in London, I mean crikey it's difficult to focus and make it. I didn't put that much effort into the album, I can only give it 75 percent at one time.

"People say, 'I gave it 100 percent,', and I'm always only giving it 75 percent. People ask me, 'Why do you say that?' And I say I have to keep a bit for the after show. I can't be leaving it all on stage."

The former Oasis star also revealed he and his wife Sara MacDonald's sons Donovan, seven, and Sonny, four, prefer to listen to U2 rather than his.

Speaking on 'The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show' on Absolute Radio, the 'In the Heat of the Moment' singer explained: "Donovan and Sonny are massive U2 fans. It's a recent thing ... Donovan is a very good friend of Bono. It's a long story. But when that album came out with all the furore surrounding it, Donovan said, 'Lend me your iPod. Let me run my ears over this album.'

"And he's become a super-fan. Him and his mate Bono are having a bit of a loving across the ocean. It's fun to watch. I actually thought that I would be the one to turn him on to stuff like that but it's like he's bored of me now."

Andy Bell Says Liam Gallagher's Heart Wasn't In Beady Eye Any More

No comments













Guitarist Andy Bell, formerly of Oasis and Beady Eye, now of the newly reunited Ride, has opened up about the recent Beady Eye split in a new interview with NME.

Frontman Liam Gallagher announced the group's split on October 24, when he stated that the band were "no longer" and thanked fans for their support.

In this week's issue of NME, on newsstands and available digitally now, Bell said: "[Beady Eye] just sort of ran its course really. Liam had been pretty quiet for a while, and them he just let us know that his heart wasn't really in it any more".

Bell added that the band split on good terms, and the split did not come as much of a surprise. "It's been a long fade, really," he said.

Liam Gallagher last week (November 11) appeared at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire as part of the The Who Hits 50 tribute night for Teenage Cancer Trust, singing 'My Generation' backed by The Who's band.

Meanwhile, Bell's band Ride will play a series of dates in May 2015, including shows in London, Manchester and Glasgow and overseas gigs in Paris, Amsterdam, Toronto and New York. Ride will also make festival appearances at Primavera Sound in Barcelona on May 29 and London's Field Day on June 7.

Ride formed in Oxford in 1988, releasing four albums – 'Nowhere' (1990), 'Going Blank Again' (1992), 'Carnival Of Light' (1994) and 'Tarantula' (1996) – before splitting in 1996. They reformed briefly in 2001 for a Channel 4 documentary and 'Best Of' release.

Foo Fighters Will Agree To Glastonbury If Oasis Reform

No comments














Foo Fighters have said they'd agree to headline Glastonbury if Oasis reformed to also play the festival.

Dave Grohl revealed that the group haven't yet been asked to top the bill, but would say yes if Liam and Noel Gallagher played, and Prince agreed to be the third headline act.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 he explained: "If Prince does it, and Oasis does it, you've got the Foo Fighters, how about that?"

The singer says he hasn't spoken to organiser Michael Eavis or his daughter Emily about headlining, but is interested as Foo Fighters haven't played Glastonbury since 1998.

"He hasn't called me. I mean, I don't want to give out my phone number on air, but I like playing shows! I've been to that festival before. It's pretty fun. We'll see what happens. We'll get a conference call happening, we can work this out. Imagine Prince and Oasis on the telephone, that would be amazing."

As a huge fan of Oasis, Dave has toured with the brothers and spent time with them away from the stage, and is sure the sparring brothers could put their differences aside for the festival.

"In America Oasis sort of crept up on us, and it was one of the first times that an English band became massively enormous in a really long time. We ended up seeing them and playing shows with them and I got to know them a little bit. I love them as people, they're the sweetest people in the world. I know they have this sort of reputation of being brash and nasty, but I don't think they are. I've watched them live and there are not that many bands that can just stand there motionless and make 100,000 people go bananas, and that comes down to the songs. When your songs are that good, you've got something good going on. I miss them.

"If Taylor Hawkins and I can be in a band together, I'm sure that they can be in a band together too."

Roger Daltrey Believes Oasis Will Reform

No comments













Roger Daltrey is convinced that Oasis will reunite, because they have nothing better to do with their time.

The Who frontman performed alongside 'Wonderwall' rocker Liam Gallagher on Tuesday (11.11.14) and admitted that he is convinced that the band will get back together at some point in the future.

Talking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: ''I've got no doubt Oasis will reform. I've never had any doubts.''

The 70-year-old singer - who will embark on a final UK tour with his bandmate Pete Townshend later this month - continued, saying that the 42-year-old musician has nothing else to do apart from get back together with his brother Noel Gallagher, and the other Oasis members.

He said: ''I just know groups, in the end they'll start to think, 'why not?' It's what they do! What else is he going to do, become a painter decorator?''

However, Roger shut down suggestions that he would record an album with him, like he did with Dr Feelgood star Wilko Johnson earlier this year.

When asked whether a collaborative record could be on the cards, he replied: ''No, no no no. That was a one-off success story.''

Liam and Roger both performed at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on Tuesday (11.11.14) in a concert which celebrated the 50-year career of the 'My Generation' rockers, to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust, which Roger is a patron of.

He gushed: ''That was a great night. Really, really good fun. It was just wonderful.''

Talking at 'The Who in Virtual Reality' event at The Goldhawk Club in Shepherds Bush, London on Wednesday (12.11.14), Daltrey confessed that, despite the band's huge Mod following, he'd never sat on a scooter in his entire life.

As he climbed on to a scooter which was being used to sit for guests to try out the virtual reality headset, he said: ''I've never even been on a scooter! One of the things is that everybody thinks Ace Faces used to have just a scooter, all of the serious Ace Faces, all of the good looking ones, they used to have mini-vans. Use your imagination! No really, that's true!''

Noel Gallagher Used To Give Brother Liam Money So He Could Practice Guitar Alone

No comments













Speaking at XFM's An Evening In Conversation With Noel Gallagher last week, Noel said he used to give Liam £5 to go away.

Chatting about forming the band to XFM's John Kennedy, Noel said: "We used to share a room, he used to sit and watch me play acoustic guitar. Not once did he join in."

"The was no inkling, not even a twinkling in the eye or a clearing of the throat. To get rid of him I'd have to lend him a fiver. I'd sit there playing the guitar, i'd say 'Have you go nothing better to do?' He'd say 'Lend us a fiver and I'll go out.' It carried on like that for the next twenty years!"

Noel Gallagher's new album, Chasing Yesterday, comes out early next year.

At the beginning of the evening Daltrey explained that his bandmate Pete Townshend was not present as he was "at home looking after the dogs. I think he'd rather do anything than hear his songs played back to him! He doesn't like playing them himself!"

Roger Daltrey also performed two of his own songs with the band, stepping in to sing 'Substitute' when the song's guest vocalist for the night - Manic Street Preachers' James Dean Bradfield - fell ill. Daltrey finished the night with 'Young Man Blues'.

'The Kids Are Alright' was performed by Wilko Johnson and The Strypes, while Def Leppard's Joe Elliott sang 'Love Reign O'er Me' and Rush's Geddy Lee headed up 'The Seeker', flying in especially for the performance from Canada. Scroll down for a full list of performers and the songs they played.

The evening also featured video tributes to The Who and Teenage Cancer Trust from Paul McCartney and Iggy Pop as well as performances from comedians Johnny Vegas and Rich Hall, and an emotional short film about the work of the charity by Shane Meadows. The evening was compered by BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans.

Noel Gallagher Criticises Russell Brand And The Public's Unwillingness To Pay For Albums

No comments













Noel Gallagher has discussed Russell Brand's political views in a new video interview.

Speaking to Noisey, the former Oasis singer addresses Brand's recent assertions that a revolution is coming and that people should abstain from voting for current political parties.

"Well, I love Russell but he don't half talk out of his arse sometimes," Gallagher says in the clip. "His fine, muscular, pert arse. He does talk a load of shit. I couldn't see him overthrowing a table of drinks. Do you think he's going to put himself in charge? Hmm, I wonder."

He adds: "I was out with him the other night and he says it with a straight face. 'There is going to be a revolution.' And I'm like, 'Fucking hell, mate, give us a shout when you're going down The Mall with your pitchforks and that, I'll come and serenade you with my loot before we eat the Queen. He says, 'Come on mate, back us' and I'm like, 'If you make me the Duke Of Manchester then I'm in'."

Noel also criticises the general public's attitude to music in the modern age and how they are unwilling to pay for albums, comparing the lifespan of a record to that of an overpriced coffee.

"It infuriates me that people are more willing to sit in a coffee shop and spend a tenner on two coffees, talking about the weather with their friends, and that coffee will last 45 minutes, yet they will physically get angry at you for asking them to buy an album for a tenner that will last a lifetime and might tell you about yourself and might even change your life," he says. "It's a strange moment we're in where people are willing to spend money on shit."

Dave Grohl Says That Oasis Are The Greatest Rock Band Ever

No comments













Dave Grohl tells XFM's Danielle Perry how it's a "shame" that the Manchester band aren't together any more.

Speaking to XFM's Danielle Perry about the band's new album, Sonic Highways, Dave Grohl explained how he was a big fan of the Gallaghers… and that they should reconsider their split.

"The whole Oasis thing is a shame," he told Danielle. "We all love Oasis. We’ve played shows with them before, where I look at them and think 'That's the greatest rock band I've ever seen in my life'.

"To know that they’re out there somewhere but they won't come together to do the thing that everybody would love so much..."

Grohl went on: "They're fun. They have such a crazy reputation of being 'the Oasis guys', and then you see them at the bar and they show you pictures of their kids. And you’re like 'Wow, they're just normal dudes', y’know?"

Noel Gallagher recently announced his second album with his High Flying Birds, Chasing Yesterday, while last month Liam's Beady Eye revealed that they'd split up.

Fancy Owning An Extremely Rare Oasis Demo Tape For £1,500?

No comments














Rare Oasis tapes are to go under the hammer.

The two cassettes include the band’s first-ever demo from late 1991 and January 1992.

Both have a listed price of £1,000 to £1,500 and are owned by broadcaster and TV presenter Terry Christian.

One, described as extremely rare, is a ‘Live Demonstration’ cassette with a Union Jack swirl design insert.

It features four tracks on each side. The insert states that the tracks were 'Recorded in Liverpool sometime in ‘93 except* For More Information: Oasis, 47 India House, 75 Whitworth Street'. 'Special Thanx to Roger Moore & The Two Claggies'.

Noel Gallagher has also marked for Christian the two tracks which he thought would be best for him to play and there are also some handwritten notes on the insert mentioning Oasis playing at Creation Night at the Canal Bar.

The other tape, described by auctioneers Omega as ‘a true piece of Oasis history’, is their first-ever demo cassette recorded with Noel’s handwriting on the labels.

This pre-dates the Oasis 'Live Demonstration' cassette and was given to Christian personally by Noel in 1992 while he was having dinner.

The cassette features early studio demos on one side and an early gig on the B side.

Other lots at the auction on Friday include an original piece of art work by John Squire of The Stone Roses, created using paint and bitumen for a Manchester bands compilation album called Ten from Ten, valued at £1,000 to £2,000.

Regarded as ‘the holy grail’ for Factory Records collectors is the bronze statute 'Little Lewey For New Order' used on the cover of a single, ‘Round and Round’ with an estimated price £1,000 to £1,500. It was designed by Peter Saville and has his initials engraved on it.

There were reportedly only 20 made before they were later reproduced without the inscription by Factory and sold for £40 each.

There is also a rare Smiths poster, an original Hacienda poster and a huge 6ft by 8ft Phil Diggle painting featured in the film 24 Hour Party People - guide price of £1,500 - £2,500.

There is also a rare copy of Joy Division's An Ideal For Living - guide price £800-£1,000.

The auction, which also includes Echo & The Bunnymen amps and equipment, is at 10.30am on Friday at Omega’s offices, unit 3.5 Meadow Mill, Stockport.
