New Oasis Album Is Not Britpop

Guitarist says experimental LP is 'not our usual thing'

Noel Gallagher has said the forthcoming Oasis album, 'Dig Out Your Soul', will see the band taking a newer, less mainstream direction.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, Gallagher explained that he does not expect to hear too many of the new songs on radio because of their more experimental nature.

"It's not Britpop, let's put it that way. It's not our usual thing," he explained. "It's just really exciting, three of the tracks have got two drummers on, me and Zak [Starkey] playing drums. Some of it sounds a bit glam. There's no pop singles on it. I'd be amazed if anything else gets on the radio past the first single."

Gallagher said that the album takes influences from The Stooges, The Doors and The Pretty Things - as well as John Lennon.

"There's a kind of piano-y, John Lennon-y obligatory plod-away song in the middle, which Liam wrote," he said, "and that's to break up the two sides which are pretty intense, and it's full-on from the start to finish."

'Dig Out Your Soul' is released on October 6. It's preceded by a single, 'The Shock Of the Lightning', on September 29.

Chemical Brothers Talk About Turning Down Oasis' 'Wonderwall' Remix

The Chemical Brothers have spoken about their decision to turn down the opportunity of remixing Oasis' hit 'Wonderwall'.

The dance duo, who were offered the chance to re-imagine the song in the early 90s, said they declined because of their lack of experience.

"They did ask us to remix Wonderwall when that first came out but basically we didn't know how to do it,” Tom Rowlands told the BBC.

"Yeah, that would have been good to do, it was a fairly big song,” Ed Simons added.

As previously reported on Gigwise, the duo recently remixed the Oasis song 'Falling Down', which will appear as a b-side to the Manchester band's new single, 'The Shock of the Lightning'.

Speaking about the remix, Rowlands said: "When Noel's name comes through on your phone, the command has been issued. It was exciting to do it and I'm glad they like it.

"We chucked loads of bits out and did it how we would want it to sound."

The single is released onSeptember 28th and will be followed by Oasis' new album 'Dig Out Your Soul', which is released on October 6th.

Oasis & Blur To Get 'Star Stories' Treatment

Star Stories actor Steve Edge has revealed that Oasis and Blur will be among the celebrities lampooned on the new series of the show.

Edge, who stars alongside Kevin Bishop on the Channel 4 programme, confirmed that the newest scripts are the funniest yet.

"I'm sure we're doing Elton John and David Furnish," Edge told The Mirror. "We read a new Britpop sketch of Oasis and Blur going to see Blair, which sounds good. Jarvis Cocker is the narrator, like an Austin Powers figure.

"It's a great job for summer - lots of funny wigs and silly voices."

The third series is currently in production and is expected to be included in Channel 4's autumn schedules.

Kaiser Chiefs Hit Back At Oasis' Noel Gallagher

Band suggest Gallagher is after publicity

Kaiser Chiefs have hit back at Oasis' Noel Gallagher, who recently made disparaging remarks about the Leeds band.

Noel Gallagher recently criticised Kaiser Chiefs, comparing them to The Monkees and saying that he didn't like the band despite the fact that he "did drugs for 18 years".

Kaiser Chiefs' drummer Nick Hodgson has since hit back at Gallagher, implying that the Oasis man is seeking publicity for his band's forthcoming new album, 'Dig Out Your Soul'.

"We're definitely not offended but I do actually like it, I think it's a bit of sport," he told BBC Newsbeat after the band's V Festival appearance in Chelmsford yesterday (August 17).

"It is funny though," he continued, "because it does happen [Gallagher criticising bands] every single time they put out an album. And the last two albums it's been us [getting the brunt of it].

"When I was 17 and Noel was going on about Blur I was watching it, and now I'm 30 and he's 50 and he's talking about us, it's brilliant."

Fish Supper At Noel's Plaice

There is nothing worse than celebs so paranoid about their fame they won’t leave their house to do normal things.

That’s why seeing Oasis star Noel Gallagher picking up fish and chips to take back to his London home for dinner on Saturday night is so refreshing.

I reckon old enemy Robbie Williams could learn a lot from Noel about how to handle fame.

Mark Ronson Takes Swipe At Noel Gallagher

Mark Ronson has hit back at Noel Gallagher's jibe that he should "learn three chords on the guitar and write a tune - instead of ruining everybody else's".

Mark posted on his blog:

Oh, Noel.....

noel gallagher said i should "learn three chords on the guitar and go write a tune". so i just wanted him to know that i'm actually taking guitar lessons from Jay-Z right now and he's already taught me both chords to "Wonderwall" (tune!). in fact, it's so much fun having Jay teach me all of noel's songs on the guitar (hooray!) that i"m thinking of doing an Oasis/Jay Z remix album a la "The Grey Album". Potential titles are "Champagne Superhova" or "Definitely Jay Z"*. I'll keep you posted....

'Oasis' The Musical Coming Soon

Noel Gallagher wants to make an Oasis musical.

The guitarist - whose bandmates include singer brother Liam, guitarist Gem Archer, bassist Andy Bell and drummer Chris Sharrock - thinks the group's songs would make a fantastic soundtrack to a stage show.

He said: "Oasis the musical has got to happen at some point - five lads who shook Manchester. 'Roll With It - The Musical'. Ben Elton's got to have six months on his own soon. He can write it then!"

As well as his musical ambitions, Noel admits he was recently offered the chance to appear on controversial UK TV programme 'The Jeremy Kyle Show'.

The 41-year-old musician explained: "I met Jeremy Kyle when I was in the Granada studios in Manchester doing something and he came up to me with a completely straight face and said, 'When are we going to get you and your brother on the show?' That would be brilliant wouldn't it?

"He'd go, 'You never turn up to rehearsals do you? You haven't turned up to rehearsals in eight years, have you? Have you? You write all the songs, you have held him back for eight years.' He wasn't joking!"

Time For A Change Of Clothes, Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher stumbled into Radio 1 - to plug Oasis's new single, The Shock Of The Lightning - after only two hours' sleep and wearing last night's clothes.

And in true rock star fashion he started slagging off someone else's band.

About Kaiser Chiefs he told Chris Moyles: "I mean, I done drugs for 18 years - 365 days in a row for 18 years - and I never got that bad I would go 'You know, I think Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant!'"

Fans Face Long Night Waiting For Gold-Dust Tickets To Oasis Gig

Band’s return trip to Aberdeen expected to sell out fast

Legions of Oasis fans will queue through the night next week to try to get their hands on gold-dust tickets for their heroes’ long-awaited return to the Granite City.

The Gallagher brothers confirmed yesterday they would be making a fourth trip to the north-east in the autumn.

Oasis will play two nights at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre’s Press and Journal Arena on November 1 and 2.

The scramble for the 17,000 tickets begins at 9am on Wednesday.

No more than 500 tickets for each night will be made available to buy at the venue that morning. The rest can be booked on the internet or by phone.

Both gigs are expected to sell out in minutes.

Brian Horsburgh, acting manager director at the AECC, said last night: “Oasis still hold the record for selling tickets faster than any other concert in Aberdeen, which was as fast as physically possible at the time.

“We have absolutely no doubt that tickets will be sold out within a couple of hours on Wednesday.”

The UK tour will coincide with the release of the Manchester band’s seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul, due out in October.

Noel Gallagher revealed details of the tour during a lively appearance on Chris Moyles’s Radio 1 breakfast show yesterday. Not one for keeping things bottled up, he went on to reveal his feelings for pop contemporaries Amy Winehouse (“a destitute horse”), Mark Ronson (“he needs to write his own tunes instead of ruining everyone else’s”) and Scouting for Girls (“Scouting for Idiots”). He added: “I did drugs for 18 years and I never got that bad as to say ‘You know what? I think the Kaiser Chiefs are brilliant’.”

Other big names heading for the AECC this year. Others include Stereophonics and Paul Weller.

Tickets for Oasis, priced £38.50 each plus booking fee, can be bought by calling 08444 779000 or from www.aecc.co.uk after 9am on Wednesday.

The gigs are for over-14s only and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Ticket sales are limited to four per buyer, or two in person at the AECC.
