Arctic Monkeys: 'People Thought Oasis Supported Us!'

Alex Turner speaks about the USA touring rumour mill

Arctic Monkeys' frontman Alex Turner has revealed that the hype around the band was recently so pronounced in the US that North American fans believed that Oasis had supported them in the UK.

The rumours appeared after the Monkeys supported the Mancunian legends in Toronto last year.

"When we were in America recently there were loads of rumours that they had supported us in Manchester," he said. "Everyone asked us, 'it must have been ace having Oasis support you'".

Turner went on to reveal what it felt like playing a support slot for the Gallagher brothers' band. "I remember being scared and excited," he explained. "They were really nice. We were playing 'Leave Before The Lights Go Out' and Liam [Gallagher] was like, 'Tune!'. Overall, they are miles bigger than us."

You've Got To Roller With It, Liam Gallagher

Oasis wildman Liam Gallagher came face to face with a dinosaur in the dark on a rollercoaster ride — and we can’t be sure who got the bigger surprise.

The singer, whose hits include Roll With It, was po-faced, while fiancée Nicole Appleton and her sister Natalie cowered in shock.

They took the Dinosaur ride at Disney World in Florida with Liam’s son Lennon, nine, and Natalie’s hubby, The Prodigy star Liam Howlett.

Gallagher’s other son Gene, six, was not tall enough to go on some of the attractions.

Liam, 35, later laughed at a photo taken on the dino ride, but did not buy it.

He and Nicole, 32, are said to plan to wed on their US hol with six family members.

Liam Gallagher To Wed In Florida ?

Oasis star Liam Gallagher and his fiancée Nicole Appleton have sparked rumours of a secret overseas wedding after jetting into the US yesterday with close relatives.

The couple's six-year-old son Gene and the Oasis frontman's other child Lennon, nine, were spotted on a flight to Orlando, Florida, with members of Appleton's family.

Appleton, 32, said recently she wanted to tie the knot with 35-year-old Liam - her boyfriend of eight years.

She told the Daily Mirror that the couple were planning a small-scale ceremony. She said: "It's important to me and I love the idea of being married."

Wedding guests will include Gallagher's brother and bandmate Noel and Appleton's sister Natalie, with her husband Liam Howlett of the Prodigy.

Of her husband-to-be, Appleton added: "When I see him strutting on to the stage I don't recognise him. He's like a lion tamer and with a crack of the whip he controls the fans. He can't do that to me. At home, I'm the lion tamer. Definitely."

Oasis - Lord Don’t Slow Me Down (Big Brother)

Big Brother Recordings’ promo CDs come with the warning that they are ‘unique and traceable’, that their use may be monitored, and that ‘appropriate action’ will be taken ‘in respect of any misuse. Big Brother indeed.

Oasis’ first ever download-only single, and the title track of a forthcoming documentary film, Lord Don’t Slow Me Down was, according to its ever-modest composer, released at their record company because it is so damn fantastic.

Not so. That Noel’s vocal is worrying news, though it’s fair to say that he’s kind of found his voice in the last few years (hear also The Importance of being Idle).

Elsewhere, a caveman riff (spot the Kasabian influence) is effective enough and prominent tambourine serves to emphasis the fact that the mute Liam is still involved.

Decent by their recent standards, not by their former ones.

Released on October 22

Are Liam Gallagher And Nicole Appleton Hitched?

Is Liam Gallagher married? That's the question they're all asking this morning.

Or, alternatively, some rehashed quotes. But sometimes such quotes can have real value, as when Sara Cox declares live on the radio that Liam and his partner Nicole Appleton have spliced the knot.
Here's what she said yesterday: "Congratulations to Nicole and Liam. They got spliced at the weekend. They did it at the weekend with no one around. I'm really happy for them."

So that's that then. It definitely happened at the weekend. But then there's the following, as published this morning on Page 3 of the Sun (the paper's most trusted page):

"Lovebirds Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton jetted to the States with relatives yesterday - sparking rumours of a secret wedding.

"It is believed several possible venues have been organised for a low-key US bash."

Which seems to contradict Cox and create a conundrum: have the couple got married already and are taking their family on holiday? Or has Liam been going around conducting a campaign of misinformation using Coxy as his Lord Haw Haw? Who was Lord Haw Haw again? And, finally, would it be possible for Oasis to go to the States and for it to be anything other than "low key"?

Oasis Star To Marry

Liam Gallagher is marrying his long-term All Saints girlfriend Nicole Appleton today.

The showbiz couple, who have been together for nearly eight years, were keen to keep the wedding quiet.

Liam's brother Noel will be at the small gathering, as well as Nicole's sister Natalie and her husband Liam Howlett of the Prodigy.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Nicole, 32, said: "It's important to me and I love the idea of being married."

"A few of my friends are getting married and it's such a stress.

"It becomes like a circus and people don't dare mention the w-word."

Nicole has been credited with taming the Oasis wildman.

She said: "When I see him strutting on to the stage I don't recognise him."

"He's like a lion tamer and with a crack of the whip he controls the fans.

"He can't do that to me. At home, I'm the lion tamer. Definitely."

There is every chance of a brother or sister for the couple's son Gene, six.

Nicole, who had an abortion when she was engaged to Robbie Williams in the late 90s, told the Mirror: "I'd like to have more kids but we haven't got any immediate plans.

"I love being a mum and I'm very happy with my little boy.

"I don't want to take any time or attention away from him."

With Nicole by his side, it seems Liam has put his party days behind him and prefers to watch reality TV at their North London home.

She said: "He loves X Factor and really got into Hell's Kitchen. We love those kind of shows - Big Brother, Strictly Come Dancing, Jeremy Kyle."

Liam, 35, divorced Emmerdale and Holby star Patsy Kensit, the mother of his son Lennon, eight, in 2000.

He also has a daughter, Molly, nine, with singer Lisa Moorish.

Nicole said: "Liam is the best daddy in the world.

"He does the school run every day and would do anything for the kids."

Meanwhile Nicole is busy with her new role for ITV Mobile.

She joins fellow All Saints member Mel Blatt, Emma Griffiths and Dave Berry travelling the country with The Hot Desk interviewing celebs from the world of music, film, TV and sport.

Mobile phone users can download the service free and access a bank of in-depth interviews with stars.

Nicole said: "It's going to be great to be the interviewer for a change."

She also revealed Liam and Noel are getting on better these days after years of bickering.

Nicole said: "Everything's great between them. Noel's new baby Donovan is gorgeous.

"His cousins adore him. It's one big happy family."

Some Might Spray For Roo

Man United ace Wayne Rooney will be getting a guitar painted Manchester City blue for his birthday after a blunder by Coleen McLoughlin.

Fiancee Coleen, 21, asked Oasis star Noel Gallagher to sign an instrument for Roo – a big fan of the band.

But Noel, 40, famous for hits including Wonderwall and Some Might Say, is a die-hard fan of United’s arch-rivals City.

He immediately hatched a plan to have the guitar sprayed light blue. Noel also scrawled his own message on it to Wayne: “Happy Birthday Fatboy.”

Scouser Coleen had it sent to Noel’s record label in London to be signed in time for England striker Wayne’s 22nd birthday tomorrow. The guitarist and singer was dumbstruck by the request, but was only too happy to have a bit of fun.
A source said: “Noel couldn’t believe it. Mancs and Scousers haven’t been the closest of friends – and asking a City fanatic to sign a guitar for a United player is a red rag to a bull. It was a gift for Noel – he loves a wind-up.”

It is not the first time Noel has left an outrageous message for a United player.

He was asked to sign a guitar for defender Gary Neville in 2000 and scrawled “Happy birthday k***head” on it.

Coleen has also bought Wayne a Louis Vuitton manbag and a designer woolly jumper.

Wayne is having a party tomorrow night with boxer pal Ricky Hatton and teammates.

Shack On Noel Gallagher

We met a few times before, mainly at Coral gigs I think, we must both have good taste. We chatted and I told him about doing work on "The Corner of Miles and Gil" album and he asked us to sign to his label, Sourmash, as well as supporting Oasis at Finsbury Park, which was a hell of a gig.

Being signed to Sourmash is really good for us; we have artistic freedom whilst still having the stability in working within a sensible budget and I think it showed on "Miles and Gil", as it was our most focused collection to date.

Oasis Join Digital Revolution

Rock band Oasis have joined the digital revolution in the music industry by releasing their first download-only single.

Noel Gallagher sings the vocals on the new single.

Following Radiohead’s digital album release last week, the Manchester group have made “Lord Don’t Slow Me Down” exclusively available from their website Oasisinet.com, either as a single track or as a package with two live performances - Don't Look Back In Anger and The Meaning Of Soul.

However, unlike Radiohead’s In Rainbows, they are charging a fixed price, with the single costing 99p and the three-track bundle £1.50.

The single shares its name with a documentary film of their 2005/6 world tour, which is scheduled to be released on DVD at the end of October.

Despite their ongoing popularity, critics of the band argue that in the last few years, Oasis have failed to hit the creative heights of their early albums. So what do reviewers make of their new venture into cyberspace?

John Murphy at MusicOMH.com thinks the single is a return to form, describing it as a “cracking little tune” and even though he feels it is “nothing radical”, when it is “cranked to full volume it sounds superb”.

Mark Wilkins at ClickMusic.com agrees. ”It’s three minutes of pure out-and-out rock and roll” he enthuses, adding “It's what we love them for, it's why we still care”.

However, Amir at the BBC.co.uk collective is not so convinced. “It sounds exactly the same as every 'heavy' single Oasis have released since Go Let It Out” he complains.

Personally, I like “Lord Don’t Slow Me Down” a lot. It has none of the clinical, slightly cynical edge their more recent work has displayed, instead turning out a brash sound that is far more raw and emotive. And for a first download-only single, it is pleasingly, amusingly low-fi.

For me, I have always felt that Oasis never quite reached the foot-stomping, head-shaking delirium of Blur (Where is their Song 2, for example?), yet this goes some way to showing they still have the capability.

Liam Gallagher's Weddy To Get Hitched

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is set to wed Nicole Appleton this week.

It was rumoured the couple had already got hitched in secret over the weekend.

But he filed for the wedding in Camden on October 10 and, under law, he must wait 15 days to marry in case anyone objects.

The lairy Manc has been with Nicole since 2000 and they have a 6-year-old son together, Gene.
Liam was previously married to Patsy Kensit.

Let's hope no one objects to the marriage, ahem, Robbie Williams...
