New Bonehead Interview

Hello Bonehead. Everyone in the world knows what was in your front room 15 years ago. What's in your front room now?

"Well i've still got the stained glass from the "Definitely Maybe' sleeve (below), I've got a log fire going now but the actual fireplace is the same one."

They are Items of historical importance.

"It means you can never forget."

You decorated and plastered the "Definitely Maybe" front room your, do you still do that in your new home?

"Yes. Maybe I've got too much time in my hands - but in the new house i did it all over again. I got a wheelbarrow and a lumb hammer and just went mental on it, almost killed myself."

So if i wanted you to get you in to plaster the office where i work, how much would you charge?

"I'd definitely be up for it. When Noel briefly left the band, fucking years ago when we were in LA, I remember talking to Guigsy going,"fucking hell it could all be over." And he said, "Do you think you can stil Artex a ceiling?" I said, "fucking piece of piss." So he had this plan that we both bought a van Guigs & Bonehads Plastering. We reckoned we couldhave got a grand a ceiling!"

You've got a tour kicking off on Halloween. SPOOKY.

"Yeah it's an acoustic tour, it's me and Pete McCloud, two acoustic guitars and he's singing and I'm going to be DJing at some aftershows."

Why is it acoustic? Are you carrying you own equipment?

"No, Pete's a friend of Alan McGee's and he's sort of relocated to LA. I listened to some tracks and we agreed to do a couple of dates together, then that turned into us playing all over the place"

Oasis are still stumbling along, then.

"Oh, they'll go on untill they drop."

I'm quite impressed by the huge change of direction on the new album.

"I think it's brilliant. I think they've hit the spot again. I don't know about new direction but there's lots of shades of "Definitely Maybe" in there."

I was sort of taking the piss when i was talking about the new direction. This is very much an Oasis album.

"Well, yes. They're never going to go hip-hop are they? Well, they might. But i'm really enjoying the album."

So you listen to their stuff and wish you were still in the band to play it?

"It's a long time ago - It's 10 years since I was in the band. But they're out on tour now and i do think, "I'd love to have played on that." You always have those "what if" moments, but i don't have any regrets. I feel like i'm free to do whatever I want to do now."

"Whatever you choose..."

"And now I can have a great night playing with a band, or DJing, or doingthis acoustic tour."

What do you play when you're DJing?

"I jut play good music. Some people go "Oh, Arctic Monkeys, you can't touch that" and I'm like "why not? IT's what the kids want the hear and I quite like it. I did one gig where I was DJing off my iPod and it had all my kid's music on it and I hit the wrong song and "The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe" came on. Two and a half minutes into it they were all raving! Top!"

Where do you stand on hats?

"Well, I'm just getting fitted for a new wig at the moment so I won't need to.. I'm joking. No I don't really wear hats.

Why not?

"I'm just not a hat man. I don't know. I have got a hat. I'm just not a hat person"

Are you going out tonight?

"Yes, I'm going to see a gig with McGee."

Wear a hat.

"I might."

Noel Gallagher: We're Playing Eight Glastonburys

Noel Gallagher reckons Glastonbury chief Michael Eavis will be “s****** himself” after Oasis announced their biggest arena tour yet.

The Manc rockers will play eight mammoth gigs next summer – and Kasabian and The Enemy will also be on the bill.

By the end of July 12 next year the band – Noel, Liam, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Shanrock – will have entertained more than a million ale-soaked punters on their epic 18-month world tour.

And the eight gigs will certainly be vying with Glastonbury for ticket buyers’ hard-earned cash.

Announcing the gigs at Wembley, Noel said: “Michael Eavis will be s******* himself when he sees this.

“I thought Knebworth was as big as it could get, but this takes it on.

“Wembley is a great British venue and it is going to be great playing here. I think they will easily be next year’s best gigs, if not the decade. I am really made up with the bill, what a night out. I am just glad I’ll be able to get tickets.

“This is what it’s all about, the gigs that go down in the memory, where people meet their future wives. Liam is s******* himself.”

Oasis start the tour at Heaton Park, Manchester, on June 6 next year. Noel said: “The last person to play Heaton Hall was The Pope in 1982. I supported him back then. I was doing stand up but the religious gags didn’t go down too well.”

Noel added: “Kasabian toured with us in the States a couple of years ago. We always said when we were doing the big super-gigs again we would give them first option.

“I liked The Enemy from the moment I heard their first single. With the three bands on in one night, if I was 16 or 17, I would want to be there.”

Roll on next summer . . .

Oasis Set For Shows In Madrid & Barcelona

Nothing has been announced by oasisinet yet, but on several Spanish sites they are reporting that Oasis will play Madrid (Palacio de Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid) on the 12th of February 2009 and Barcelona (Pavelló Olímpic de Badalona) on the 13th February.

Tickets go on sale from 10am on October 29th via Gamerco, Servicaixa and Ticktackticket

More information to follow on these two gigs, as and when I get them.

Oasis To Play Heaton Park

After weeks of speculation, Oasis have confirmed two huge hometown shows at Heaton Park for next summer.

The Gallagher brothers originally caused anger when their 'Dig Out Your Soul 2008/2009 World Tour' was revealed to be going to Liverpool then Sheffield - and missing out Manchester.

But they included two homecoming dates as they announced an eight-concert UK stadium tour today.

The gigs at the biggest municipal park in Europe are a departure for the Burnage boys, who have played their beloved Maine Road, Old Trafford Cricket Ground and the City of Manchester Stadium in recent years.

The show's at the north Manchester park are part an eight-date outdoor jaunt and will see Midlands rockers Kasabian and The Enemy on the support bill.

On the dates, a typically cocksure Noel told a press conference: "Looking at the bill, I think these are going to be the gigs of next year, if not the decade for a certain demographic.

"I'm just glad I can get tickets. These are the gigs that people remember, they meet future wives.

"I give thanks that we're headlining it and not some heritage act on before a bunch of kids."

The Heaton Park concerts are the first two dates of the 2009 tour which ends with the band's debut appearances at the new Wembley stadium.

Oasis will also perform at Sunderland's Stadium of Light, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, Murrayfield in Edinburgh, and Slane Castle in Dublin.

Noel Gallagher Makes R Kelly Glastonbury Jibe

Oasis' Noel Gallagher has attacked the lineup choices for Glastonbury Festival again, while announcing a new stadium tour.

Speaking at a Wembley Stadium press conference unveiling his band's 2009 tour, Gallagher jokingly asked whether US R 'n' B star R Kelly would be performing at the legendary festival in 2009.

The guitarist's remarks follow his controversial comments earlier this year, when he criticised the booking of rapper Jay-Z to headline the Pyramid Stage.

When asked whether Oasis' 2009 concert plans would allow them to play Glastonbury, Gallagher replied: "I think [organiser] Michael Eavis will s**t himself when he sees our press release."

And when questioned why he did not plan to play the Somerset event, he quipped: "Is R Kelly playing?"

Though Gallagher, 41, was keen to play down any rift between himself and Eavis, saying he had spoken to the festival chief only six weeks ago, he added: "[The stadium tour] is where it's at."

He continued: "I've always said Glastonbury's great to be at, but not to play at. There's not enough speakers and it's too quiet."

When asked in April of his opinion of Jay-Z's headlining set, Gallagher replied: " Jay-Z? No chance."

He went on: "Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in 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 Roc-A-Fella mogul's Friday night show at Glastonbury 2008 began with a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Oasis, as Gallagher's remarks were broadcast before Jay-Z performed a rendition of the band's classic song Wonderwall.

Oasis Fail To Move Metallica Out Of European Top Spot

Rockers Oasis have failed to topple Metallica from the top of the European albums chart - the British band's Dig Out Your Soul has only managed to debut at two.

Metallica's Death Magnetic has held onto pole position for the fifth week running, leaving Oasis to take second place with their new release.

Coldplay round out the top three with Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends.

Meanwhile, in the European singles chart, Katy Perry is still the queen of the continent - her smash hit I Kissed A Girl enjoys another week at number one.

The three most popular tracks in Europe remain unchanged with Pink's So What at two, and The Pussycat Dolls' When I Grow Up sitting at three.

"This Is The Gig Of The Century" – Oasis' Wembley Press Conference In Full

Noel Gallagher has just given a press conference at Wembley Stadium this afternoon (October 16) announcing the band’s 2009 tour dates.

NME.COM was there. Here is Noel’s press conference in full:

You were the last British band to play Wembley – not counting Toploader who supported Bon Jovi and are rubbish - how does it feel to be back?

“There’s quite a big gap. This is the first time I’ve come through the door. I’ve not been to concert there yet. It’s a great British venue. I guess it’s going to be great."

Will You beat Manchester City here?

“I don’t think City are going to be here this season, not yet, we’ll be representing them at all stadiums again next year.”

Why did you decide to play Heaton Park in Manchester?

"The last person to play there was the Pope in 1982. It seems a shame to let it sit there doing nowt. We had a few gigs booked in Man City stadium, but the new owners told us they didn’t need to do gigs as they don’t need the money. Neither do we, but it would be a laugh. That was the next suitable venue- the obvious next one would have been Old Trafford, but no way. I supported the Pope the last time, doing stand-up. I did the first 45 minutes so you wouldn’t have seen me. Didn’t go down too well.”

Kasabian and The Enemy as support, why?

“Kasabian, we toured with them in the States a couple of years ago, and we’ve since become quite close to them. We always said that when we’d do the supergroup, super-concert again we’d give them first option. The Enemy I’ve liked since their first single. Looking at the bill, I think these are going to be the gigs of next year, if not the decade for a certain demographic.

"I'm just glad I can get tickets. These are the gigs that people remember, they meet future wives. I give thanks that we're headlining it and not some heritage act on before a bunch of kids. If I was a 16 year old again, I’d think this was the gig of the century, of the decade.”

How do you and Liam approach these shows?

“The first kind of stadium we did was in Manchester. It never felt daunting to play to 40,000 people then. Some bands sit in their dressing room, quaking in their boots. They’re all there to see me play guitar. What’s the worst that can happen? You’re shit - so what? Life is there to be lived. If you don’t aim for that, you may as well play the Astoria. This is it, it’s here and it’s now. I give thanks that we’re going to be headlining here. Liam on the other hand, was shitting it.”

What do you think of current pop talent?

“I’m not denying the right to kids to better their own lives, but it’s not really about the music, is it? They’re shite, to be honest. It’s like ‘who’s got the biggest sob story? My cat died, and his outstretched paw was pointing towards the X on the screen, so I’ve come here today to sing ‘What’s New Pussycat’. My eight year old daughter loves it.

"Especially when a girl group came on and said they were going to sing ‘Wonderwall’ by Ryan Adams. I had to reassure her that I did indeed write that song. ‘Ryan is a friend of Dad's’.”

What do you think about free downloads?

“I wouldn’t give an album away for free. I wouldn’t give my own songs away for free. I think 19.99 for an album is pretty much… I’d go with that. I don’t give a shit about the music industry. We’re trying to self-contain. The music industry got too big, record labels are now like sprawling industries that can’t contain themselves.

"The industry will eventually land in a place where it’s more about the product and less about the razzmatazz. If anything’s come from this current climate it’s that records are shooting out. I think the current prices are ok, what is it £7.99 online? That enough to keep my swimming pool full of mineral water.”

Will you play the Wembley gig in the round?

“No, that’s a bit Rod Stewart. I think we’ll be doing it in the traditional sense. There’s a stage at one end, a bar at the other, and a bit in the middle which you don’t get involved in if you’re over 25. I’d rather face the audience, rather than flashing lights. As long as there’s big movie footage of me playing guitar.

"The second night was quite monumental, because Liam had been out with a Spice Girl the night before – a Spice Girl - and he didn’t bother going to bed. It was the first comedy performance at the Old Wembley. The first night was great, the second night was excruciating. I’m not annoyed with him, it’s his band as much as mine. But it’s all over YouTube though!”

Are you tempted to headline Glastonbury next year?
“I think that when Michael Eavis reads this press release he’ll shit himself. I wouldn’t bother to play Glasto. Here is where it’s going to be at next summer. Would you go? Why is R Kelly playing? I’ve said before we wouldn’t play there again, we always blow the big gigs, we always manage to George Best it.

"The first time we played Glasto, we played too many songs off ‘Morning Glory’, and it hadn’t come out yet. Glasto is great to be at, but it’s not great for people like us to play at. You’re on at 11, and the people you’re with are absolutely battered. Your girlfriend stops making sense. So no we won’t play next year.”

Do you have any rituals before you go on?

“Of course, slaughtering goats and all that. The first time we seen it was Travis. They have a hug and a little jig. No, we don’t. We’re Northern men, you know what I mean? We enjoy ourselves in silence, and suffer in silence. There’s always the new drummer. ‘Enjoy yourself this is probably your last gig’. We’ve a strange relationship in the band, it’d freak most people out.”

Can you tell us about your plans for the Electric Prom gig?

“We’re doing it with the Crouch End choir. There’s 150 of them, but we can only fit 60 on stage. We’ve already had a rehearsal with them, with a kitchen in Muswell Hill. It was a pretty big kitchen. Oasis big songs are kind of like hymns anyway, so it’s kind of celestial in places, and ridiculous in others.

"They’re made up that they can wear their own clothes! They’d look silly wearing all black and doing that dance. I guess it’s great that we’re playing in Camden. I don’t think we’ve ever played in Camden before. Ten minutes home, shower, then out again afterwards.”

Would you give Michael Eavis tickets to these gigs?

“I only joke when I say things about Michael. I spoke to him and Emily six weeks ago. Anyway I think he’ll be a bit busy next summer.”

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel Gallagher's Tour Diary on www.oasisinet.com

Who'd have thought it, eh? (Not me, that's for sure) The 2 nights in Birmingham being the best of the entire world tour so far. I'm not one for blowing smoke up people's arses (does anyone know what that means? Has anyone ever tried it?) but if you were in the crowd on the 2nd night, buy yourselves a drink. It was really special.

I'm currently with my right-hand man Gem. We're on the way to the Republic of Ireland aka 'The Land of my Fathers' to give a press conference in order to make an announcement about some super-gig we're doing there next year. I'd tell you but by the time you read this you'll have heard about it anyway (or maybe not). Either way it'll give me a chance to get rid of some of them Euros at the local sweet shops, Irish sweeties being the best in the world'n'all that.

Mind how you go.

Oasis For Isle Of Wight Festival

Oasis are set to headline next year's Isle Of Wight Festival and four other major European festivals, Virtual Festivals can exclusively reveal.

The Gallagher boys are gearing up for their busiest live summers in years with a European festival tour penned for 2009 - and we've got all the details before anyone else.

The Isle Of Wight Festival, winner of last year's Best Major Festival at the UK Festival Awards, is expected to be the band's first stop over the weekend of 12-14 June.

Liam and Noel are clearly keen to follow in the footsteps of rock royalty, such as The Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols and Muse, and are likely to headline the Saturday night (13th).

Three weeks later the band will play a staggering three festivals in one weekend, taking in Rock Werchter in Holland, Roskilde in Denmark and Eurockennees De Belfort in France between 2-5 July.

Benicassim on the Spanish coast beckons next, with the band set to headline one of the days between 16-19 July.

Oasis announced to the media earlier today that they will be playing a 'super-gig' in Ireland's Slane Castle on 20 June, with another also planned for somewhere in Manchester.

But Virtual Festivals is the only website to have scooped the rest of the band's festivals plans, after being tipped off by a source close to the band.

We were told: "Oasis are keen to get on the road again because they're really proud of this album (Dig Out Your Soul). The Isle Of Wight Festival is a big one for them as it's really upped its profile in recent years.

"The boys are keen to show people they can play festivals in style after getting luke warm receptions at Glastonbury and V Festival in recent years. It should be a great summer for them, let's just hope the Noel and Liam can handle that much time together!"

Of course, nothing can be certain until officially confirmed, however Oasis are holding a press conference later today when details of their live plans for 2009 are expected to be revealed.

Why Noel Will Never Forget Oasis First Belfast Gig

Oasis superstar Noel Gallagher has revealed why he will never forget the band’s debut performance in Belfast — and why the city still holds a special place in his heart.

Back in September 1994 an emerging young rock act from Manchester playing the Limelight heard the news that their first album had gone straight to number one.

Speaking at a packed Press conference at Slane Castle — to announce an Oasis headlining gig at the Boyneside venue on June 20 2009 — Noel recalled the moment he was told Definitely Maybe had topped the charts.

“We were playing in a bar in Belfast, I think it was called the Limelight. I was in the dressing room afterwards when someone came up and told us the album was going to be number one.

“So, yeah, Belfast will always be special for that reason.”

Noel, who was accompanied by band member Gem Archer, said he hoped to pop into the Limelight again for a drink when Oasis play a double date in Belfast later this month.

“Maybe we could go the second night,” he said, before turning to Gem and asking: “What do you think, do you fancy it?”

Gem replied: “Absolutely.”

Noel described Belfast as “one of the greatest cities in Europe” and said he loved playing anywhere in Ireland as the “Celtic crowds” always gave the band a warm reception.

“I think it’s because they get more drunk,” he laughed.

And he also said he had fond memories of holidaying in Ireland as a child.

“I spent a massive part of my youth in Ireland, six weeks of my school holidays there until I was 15,” he said.

“The smell in the air brings it all back to me. And Ireland has the best sweet shops in the world. I’m partial to Silvermints myself. I love it here, it’s the land of my fathers.”

Noel recalled the last time Oasis played Slane, supporting REM in 1995, and said he was delighted they were coming back as the headline act.

“It’ll be nice to finally do this in front of our fans after all these years,” he said.

“The last time about 80 of our relatives turned up. Some of those kids have grown up and have kids of their own now, so there’ll probably be about 97 of them here next year.

“It’ll also be great for the guys who have joined the band since the last time we played here and hopefully we will get the weather right and everybody will have a good time, and we’ll finally put the nail on the credit crunch.”

When asked what kept the band going, Noel joked: “It’s the credit crunch. It’s really kicked in at Chez Gallagher.”

He also told the Press conference that he was still very much “in love” with making music and that there was nothing else he could consider doing.

Limelight owner David Neely said the Oasis gig of 1994 was still one of the most talked about concerts in Belfast.

“Of course we would love to see them here again,” he added.

“We’ll have the champagne on ice for them.”

Slane's In The Bag But Oasis Jury Is Still Out On O2 As The Boys Aren't Mad For It

It's going to be called the O2? Oh dear," exclaimed Noel Gallagher when asked if Oasis will be playing the new Dublin venue when it opens.

The O2 in London is atrocious so if it's as bad that, then probably not!"

Speaking at the announcement of their headline performance at Slane next year, the Oasis songwriter proved that he's still fiercely proud of his Irish heritage, given that his estranged father Tommy hails from Duleek and his mum Peggy's from Mayo.

"We used to spend six weeks of our school holidays here until I was 15 so it was a massive part of my childhood," he said.

And although the Wonderwall stars will be performing to some 80,000 people when they play Slane Castle on June 20, it seems the boys biggest fan is their Irish mum Peggy.

When quizzed if she was going to attend next summer's concert, he said she "wouldn't miss it for the world."

"She'll be like the Queen of Sheba, I expect. " he explained. Noel went on to say how Irish audiences always held a special place in his heart

"About 90pc of stars going to any city will say it's the best audience they've encountered but there's something about the Celtic crowd, places like Ireland and Scotland that seems to be different. I just think people get more drunk," he laughed.

He also dismissed questions about throwing a ring of steel around the front of the stage area to avoid any repeats of what happened during their Toronto performance.

The musician was left with a suspected fractured rib after a spectator rushed onto the stage and attacked him, pushing him to the ground.

"It was a freak occurrence that has happened once in 20 years and you can't legislate for things like that," he said.

Asked what Irish fans could expect from the concert, he said: "Oasis concerts are all about the crowd. We're not like U2 who put on the greatest show on earth. I wouldn't waste my time with a load of scientists designing lighting rigs.

We'll have no fireworks or big inflatable things on stage -- except for maybe Liam!"

However, he insisted that their show would be "well worth the money", even in these global meltdown credit crunch times.
