Cigarettes & Alcohol (And An Oasis DVD)

We gave uber fans The Twang loads of beer and the Gallagher brothers new DVD - this is what happened.

Like most kids of the 90's The Twang's Phil Etheridge had his own private trove of Gallagher's Brothers porn: "I've still got it," he reveals. "I thought it'd be long gone, but I was cleaning out some drawers the other day and I found it again!" Whenever Oasis swaggered across the nation's TV screens, there you'd find a teenage Phil hunched over his VCR, finger poised on 'record', well-worn tape already rewound, ready to add a few precious minutes to his private reel.

For Phil, like a million kids in a million nowheres, Oasis were everything. Not only were they all you needed to know about being young and alive, they were a blueprint to making it out for all those whose horizons were being lowered year-upon-year. It was their spirit of f***-'em-all determination that drove Phil to the practice room after he clocked off from his job at the HP Sauce factory. And after his band scored a £1.6million publishing deal earlier this year, they splashed out on £6,000 coats from Harrods, "because Liam wore one once". The Twang are a band who believe it to be a moral failing not to live up the the ideals of the "rocknrollstar".

So who better to arm with a bottomless supply of beer in a Nottingham hotel room and ask to to pass judgement on Oasis' new DVD, 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down'? It's a stately portrait of the frustations a boredom of touring, intercut with the customary laugh-so-hard-you-die Gallagher banter. And blow us down if the sober habits of the grown up rock stars grown-up rock stars on-screen aren't outrun by the circus of bum-baring and hotel room-disrespecting off-screen.

Hour by hour, minute by minute, this is how it rolled...

7:15

NME arrives as The Twang are supping champagne at the bar of their swankey hotel on Maid Marian Way. It's just opposite Nottingham's Tails Of Robin Hood Experience and around the corner from the towns latter-day Gin Lane: Bathed in disco-light and vomit and saturated with students and townies in explosively equal numbers.

The Twang are on a tour of freshers' balls, a lucrative if spiritually unfulfilling pasttime, "Me and Martin have been dancing like this," Phil claims, rubbing his thumb and forefinger together in the universal gesture for 'Loadsamoney'. "The place was pretty empty.. everyone was more interested in the free Sambucca they were serving in the bar. Everyone was piling down to watch Dave Pierce, for f*** sake".

8:00

A DVD player is borrowed from upstairs, room service is ordered, and a shower cap is employed to bypass the smoke detector. The Twang have shoved Matty's girly mags aside and splayed themselves across his bed.

8:15

On-screen some shirtless hooli-goon is balling 'Live Forever' into a beer can as he queues for Oasis' Astoria show. "We're buzzing off this c***," Noel deadpans on the commentary "It's the Twang geezer," Liam drawls. Noel, Liam and Colin Murray hose themselves. It's not a direct likeness that sets them off, it's more the way that his face is arranged into an expression that cries, "I'm having soooo much fun".

8:16

"That's ace!" Phil wears the glazed expression of a man who's just been punched in the balls by a creature he had, until that very moment, considered mythical. Imagine being happy-slapped by a centaur: it's that same mix of pain, confusion and awe congealing on his face. "Yeah, but there saying 'Fook off, t**t'," Martin's girlfriend reminds him. "I don't care. Oasis know we exist. That's ace. Even if that bloke looks nothing like me...ace..." he mumbles. "Ace..." "Where's the room service?" Jon wines. Unable to last out, he attacks the minibar. Viciously: he's somehow yanked the door clean off his hinges, discarding it where it lies with little more than a shrug.

8:30

Stick a few drinks in Matty's tank and he transforms from shy band mascot into Keith Moon's loco nephew. He is now officially Acting Up. "Hey Andy!" Matty calls NME's snapper to come and capture him enthroned on the loo, trousers-around-ankles, pulling the same gurn he's been mugging for our camera all evening, before rising, knocking over some stray glasses and attempting to rip the curtains down in one grad gesture. He slumps back on the bed for a few minutes of gentle response, intermittently mooning his audience.

8:50

On the telly, Oasis are getting high: each filling their leathered bronchioles from a cylinder of pure oxygen, moments before going onstage in California. Meanwhile, The Twang are skinning up and discussing the possibility they too could get Oxygen on their rider. "Yeah, sure, costs about £60," their tour manager reflects. "No problem," Martin chips in, "We'll just take your wine off our rider then, eh?" Touche!

8:58

"Room service!" from where he lay prostrate on the bed, his trousers somewhere discarded, Matty now bounds up and hugs the waiter from behind, wrapping his long arms around his back. The faces of the service staff curdle into appropriate disdain, as they survey the demolished minibar door.

9:15

"Were' making a film about Japanese journalists," Noel tells a Japanese journalist on the DVD, in full Mancunian wind-up mode. "That's what all these cameras are for." The Japanese journalist nods, noncommittally. Phil leans forward, "It's rotter!!" The Twang, it turns out, have met this particular Japanese journalist. "Yeah, we met him when we were playing Summer Sonic," he relates. "Japan was mad. We all got arrested. We were out with some Australian guy and he was showing us around. We got back to the hotel about 4am when out of nowhere this Aussie geezer started smashing the f*** out of his motorbike that was parked outside. So we were like, 'F*** this' and all piled into a taxi. But somehow he managed to pile-in with us. The cops started chasing us - had us pinned up against the wall at one point. They took us back to the station, and as they were emptying our pockets I was like, "Thank you God that I don't have any sniff on me.' Two hours earlier, I'd been wandering around the centre of town randomly asking people if they'd got any." he shrugs. "This was Japan, so of course some guy was handicamming the whole thing, which is how we got off in the end."

9:25

Oasis are in the US of A: "So is 'Cast No Shadow' dedicated to Richard Ashcroft because he's so thin that if he faces the sun you can see him?" A radio DJ asks, "No," Noel says, "The reason one would 'Cast no shadow' in such circumstance would be if one were invisible..." "Oh, yeah..." The Twang laugh like Hyenas on helium.

9:28

"Matty, you're getting a hard-on," Martin's misssus complains. "I was trying to hide that," replies Matty. "Now you've gone and told everyone."

9:30

"Windmill! Windmill! Windmill!" For society's sake, Matty really needs no encouragement. But here he is, being brazenly egged on by the Twang WAGs. 'Windmilling', for the uninitiated, is a Twang custom that basically involves Matty getting his dick out and whirling it in circles until he gets bored or arrested. Matty's dick is a pillar of Twang folklore, because of both it's size and it's ability to emerge in the most incongruous places. Phil: "Me and Matty played a game once when we were waiting to get on a plane in Berlin. It went a bit like this: 'How drunk can you get drunk in a hour?' It turned out that the answer was 'very'. So we get on the plane, but we were so mashed by then the stewardesses came round to give me a colouring-in book to keep me busy. Then I see Matty has whipped it out. The stewardesses were like: 'That's nice... but we've got to get ready for take-off now.'"

10:00

Like a dragonfly that lives for a day, Matty's juices are now spent and the DVD winds to a close. We leave him and head to Chino Latino for more drinks.

Noel Gallagher Helps Local Charity

Oasis star Noel Gallagher and Bee Gee Robin Gibb joined up with a Wigan music store to raise money for charity.

The Gibb and Gallagher brothers, along with rising stars The Kooks, kindly signed guitars for the Music 90 store on Wallgate which were then auctioned to raise money for Wigan's Victim Support and Witness Services.

Noel signed an Epiphone Sheraton II, which went for £1,150, while Robin put his monicker on a Tanglewood TW145 ASC, which raised £750.

The Kooks adorned an Ibanez PF60S DBS 9, donated by Headstock, which went into a draw and raised a further £1,200.

In total the auction raised around £7,500 for the charity. Music 90 proprietor Mike Dutton said: "I've been doing a bit of volunteer work for Victim Support and I thought it would be a good idea to see if I could get the music industry to help.
"Getting Noel was a big boost and we were really pleased with the outcome.
"The only problem is going to be trying to top Noel Gallagher and Robin Gibb next year. It's going to be difficult but I'm working on it."

Mike was helped by an old music industry contact and legendary Oasis record sleeve designer Brian Cannon to bring Noel on board.

Brian said: "I contacted Noel and he was only too happy to help. He was waiting for his new baby to arrive so we thank him for taking the time out to support such a great cause."

Music 90 has a long-standing association with successful musicians including former customers from The Verve, Starsailor and BB Mac.

One Big Wit

Acid-tongued Liam is the new Wilde

Oasis star Liam Gallagher has been voted one of Britain's greatest wits.

It means the singer proudly takes his place alongside the likes of Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde.

Boozy rocker Liam 34, grabbed 10th place in the wit list for his put-downs of fellow celebs. He once said of Victoria Beckham, 33: "She can't even chew gum and walk in a straight line, let alone write a book."

At No1 is author Oscar Wilde, thanks to such quips as: "I can resist everything except temptation."

Comic Spike Milligan is second, having come up with gems like: "I don't mind dying - I just don't want to be there when it happens."

And third is actor and telly star Stephen Fry, 49, who played Wilde in the 1997 movie of that name. Others to make the list include Top Gear Host Jeremy Clarkson, 47, comic Paul Merton, 50, and outspoken football boss Brian Clough.

There are no women in the Top 10 and that is because men are naturally wittier, according to the research for TV channel Dave.

The highest-ranking woman was Margaret Thatcher, 82, in 12th spot thanks to barbs such as: "Being powerfull is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

Steven North, head of Dave, said: "Wit is a staple of life in Britain that is essential in dealing with ups and downs."

Top 10 Brit Wits

01. Oscar Wilde: Said on his deathbed: "Either those curtains go or I do."

02. Spike Milligan: "All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy"

03. Stephen Fry: "It is a cliche that most cliches are true. But then, like most cliches, that cliche is untrue."

04. Jeremy Clarkson: On the Alfa Romeo: "You cannot be a true petrolhead until you have owned one - it's like having really great sex that leaves you with an embaressing itch."

05. Sir Winston Churchill: "Bessie, you're ugly. And tomorrow morning I will be sober, but you will still be ugly."

06. Paul Merton: "I'm always amazed to hear of air crash victims so badly mutilated they have to be identified by their dental records. But if they don't know who you are, how do they know who your dentist is?"

07. Noel Coward: "Wit ought to be a glorious treat, like caviar. Never spread it about like marmalade."

08. William Shakespeare: "Maids want nothing but husbands, and when they have them, they want everything."

09. Brian Clough: "I wou;dn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one."

10. Liam Gallagher: Said of Victoria Beckham: "She can't even chew gum and walk in a straight line, let alone write a book."

Hot Tunes

Oasis, Lord Don't Slow Me (Big Brother)

Oasis's first ever digital only single, prefacing the forthcoming Oasis documentary of the same name, was described only last month by the ever cocky Noel Gallagher as 'somewhat predictably brilliant'.

Well, at least he's half right. The song captures the weariness of life on a tour bus, particularly when Noel delivers lyrics such as 'I'm tired and I'm sick, got a habit that I just can't kick' in typically high-pitched fashion.

The Gallaghers continue to corner the market in scrubbed-up pub rock, which is exactly what they offer here; familiar, consistently popular, predictable, but far from brilliant.

An Oasis Of Serenity

Rugby World Cup Semi Final: England 14 France 9

As England's Grumpy Old Men indulged in a leisurely lap of honour, the public address system played Oasis at earsplitting volume.

"I said maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me. And, after all, you're my Wonderwall."

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Wonderwall Wilkinson.

It was business as usual for little Jonny. A nation's expectation had weighed heavily on his shoulders. Big men had been assigned to do bad things to him.

Yet, at the heart of the hostility, he had a sense of serenity. He, and we, had been this way before.

As the match entered its decisive moments, and the nerves were as taut as piano wire, he took time to compose himself.

He breathed deeply, reprogrammed his brain. It was time to do what he does best.

A simple penalty, from in front of the posts. Then the familiar dagger thrust of an instinctive drop goal.

Cue mayhem, tears to dilute the testosterone. England are one game away from history

The Radio 1 Top 40 Countdown

Radio 1's birthday celebrations got us talking about our favourite on-air moments.

Oasis get mentioned a few times in the countdown.

Chris Evans convinces the nation 'Wonderwall' is actually a cover.

In 1995 the DJ introduced an easy listening "'60s recording" of 'Wonderwall', claiming it was the original. Was Noel Gallagher conning us? Evans finally revealed that it was the first play of The MIke Flowers Pops' cover.

Oasis ransack Lamacq, November '97

It was just another Evening Session for Steve Lamacq, until he was joined by two very unexpected guests in the shape of the Gallagher brothers.

Noel said he would legalise drugs ("Drugs do work"), while younger brother offered out Keith Richards and George Harrison, telling them to meet him on Primrose Hill the next morning.

Getting celebrity DJs to celebrate their birthday

Another Review Of Lord Don't Slow Me Down

Oasis - Lord Don't Slow ME Down - Big Brother

Bonehead, Guigs and Tony Mac... Late at night, do you think the former-band members still dream of blacked-out limos, screaming fans and football pitches marked out in pharmaceuticals? If so, this opiated blues surely provide the soundtrack for them. The title track of the forthcoming Oasis tour documentary, 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' happily sees Noel back at his very best.

It's a howling fuzz-rock freakout, which proves that when they're on form, there's hardly any other band around fit to lick Oasis' plectrums.
