Ricky Hatton And Oasis To Fight Joe Calzaghe And Stereophonics For Xmas No1

No comments



















Joe Calzaghe is taking on Ricky Hatton for a last fight ... to be Christmas No 1.

The gloves will come off when the two boxing champs go head-to-head in the pop charts.

Calzaghe 37 - who last night took on Roy Jones Jnr in a light heavy weight showdown in New York before retiring from the ring - is pulling no punches in his quest for a record knock-out.

Welsh hit rockers the Stereophonics will help him record the track.

But it could be a close fight. Mancunian Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton, 30, has called on Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher to help him claim the top spot with Hi Ho Ricky Hatton, a take on the 1967 hit Hi Ho Silver Lining.

And welterweight Hatton, who has won a string of world titles, is hoping to get Manchester City football team involved.

Calzaghe is getting his model girlfriend Jo-Emma, 27, to be a backing dancer.

And his boxing coach and songwriting dad Enzo, 60, is coming up with the words.

A source said: "It's going to be a real sing-along track to get everyone in the party mood.

"Jo-Emma is the secret weapon - she's the real glamour behind the single, which the Gallagher brothers can't match."

Enzo has said: "I was brought up in music. All we used to do in Italy was play football, box or sing all day. Boxing is a stressful world and my remedy is music." A friend of the family said: "This is going to be a light-hearted way to celebrate the end of Joe's career.

"They're not going for that soppy stuff you normally hear at Christmas - the Calzaghes have got a great sense of humour so they'll make sure it's a laugh.

"Joe was the unbeaten champ for 11 years and I reckon he's going to carry on his form in the music world. The family hopes it will be a chart-topper."

The competition from Ricky won't bother Calzaghe, who is also bringing out a DVD about growing up in the South Wales valleys in time for Christmas - Joe Calzaghe: My Life Story.

The source said: "He's never been worried about getting beaten by other boxers and he's not going to start now.

"He's approached this song with as much passion as his boxing. It will be a huge hit."

Oasis Was A Bit Of Luck

No comments



















The man behind rock group Oasis has said he had no idea they would reach such giddy heights of world fame.

Alan McGee, who founded Creation Records and signed the Mancunian Indie giants as unknowns in 1993, told University of Gloucestershire students he thought the group may be another Primal Scream, if he was lucky.

Speaking in an hour-long lecture at the university’s Pittville campus in Cheltenham Alan, who is a visiting fellow, said: “I knew Liam and Noel were going to be a big Indie band, but I didn’t know just how big. I had no idea.”

The Glaswegian spoke to dozens of enthralled students about his career in the music industry, from when he bought his first record, Get it on by T Rex, for 11 shillings in 1971, to signing the Brit Award wining band which have sold more than 50 million records worldwide.

He told them about his young days of strumming on his dad’s bass guitar in Glasgow.

“It was always music. I never associated music with money, musicians got ripped off and they do. I just never ripped them off,” he said.

The man who formed Creation Records spoke of moving to London with two friends when he was 19, forming a band and then running a club, which he said attracted little interest at first.

After re-launching the club nights after a year’s break he said it proved more successful and led to him starting up the record label which would sign major names, including Super Furry Animals and My Bloody Valentines.

In a question and answer session Alan was asked if he thought music since the millennium was pretty forgettable.

He replied: “Nobody will know what this decade meant until 20 years from now. You can never be objective about the time we live in.”

The audience was impressed with his talk.

Popular music student Tim Rowlings, 22, said: “I thought it was good. He was insightful. What happened to him is like the romantic idea of how you would like things to work.”

Second year student Jim Lockey, 23, said: “It’s good to know someone who has achieved what he has is a normal person. It’s nice to know there are people who are willing to give people a chance over money.”

The talk was arranged by popular music course leader Joe Wilson, who has known Alan for seven years through his work in the music industry.

Noel Gallagher's Weller Retirement

1 comment



















Noel Gallagher won't retire until Paul Weller does.

The 41-year-old Oasis guitarist thought he would have quit music before he turned 40 but insists he will continue until his close friend and former The Jam frontman ends his career.

Noel said: "The question is always there, at the back of my mind. When I was 30 it was like, 'Well, I'll be out of this by the time I'm 40.' Now I'm 41 and I still really love it. And I think we are still valid as a band.

"I have always felt that as long as Paul Weller's doing it - and he's 10 years older than me - I'm doing it.

"I guess you face this worry in your 40s and come out the other side, when maybe age matters less."

Noel recently revealed he has already written Oasis' next album, and promised it would be different to the band's latest effort.

He said: "There's stuff about soldiers and religious people and rock stars and travellers. They all seem to have a narrative.

"It's vastly different from 'Dig Out Your Soul'."

Oasis Are Outta Time In New Video

No comments









Liam Gallagher is transformed into a lone ranger wandering around a moon-lit countryside in the video to the new Oasis song.

The singer can be seen in the black and white video to "I'm Outta Time", which is being shown exclusively on the band's MySpace, dressed in a hat tipped low over his face.

With his surly grimace, Liam looks just like Clint Eastwood in his western classics Fistful of Dollars and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - all that's missing is a poncho and a pistol.

He then wanders around a mystical forest surrounded by butterflies and owls before settling down to listen to a record player.

"I'm Outta Time" is the second single to be released from the band's seventh album Dig Out Your Soul.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

No comments




Taken from Noel's tour diary from oasisinet.com

The UK tour has officially finished. Thank god. There's been too much to do. Too many people to see. Too much boozing. Too much, too much. It'll be good to get out into the world and see what everyone else is up to.

We're flying to Cologne today. I love Germany. And them Germans. I don't know why, I just do.

We were up half the night the other night watching the American election. Not that it's any of my business you understand but we have a couple of Americans what work with us and they were very excited that Obama smashed it. Good for them. And him. And America, eh? Will it change anything? Probably not. Good speech though. Then again, they usually are.

It's gonna be a day of hanging around airport lounges today. Not the best way to spend a day off. It never ceases to amaze me how many people get offended when they ask you for "a quick picture" and you tell them you can't be arsed. It fuckin' winds me right up. People actually get the needle. Put your phones back in your pockets and grow up!!

In a bit.

GD.

Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher wants to play a Hogmanay gig in Scotland.

Oasis have been on tour in Scotland over the last few days, and they had such a great time they want to come back this year.

Liam said: "I want to do this New Year thing up here."

Liam also reckons that he, unlike other big bands, is happy to play anywhere and he'd even consider playing Glasgow's King Tut's again.

"We've got the tour in Europe and America and we'll be doing big things next year," he said.

"We do some small gigs still, but I'll play anywhere - the small ones, big ones."

Q&A With Howard Payne

No comments



















Howard Eliott Payne is supporting Oasis on the start of the bands European tour, he will be supporting the band in Cologne, Copenhagen and Paris.

We sent a Q&A to to the Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist and former Stands front man.

Q: Hows things Howard?

Things are good, thanks.

Q: Why do you go by "Howard Elliot Payne" now instead of Howie Payne?

That's my name, It''s good to use all of your name.

Q: How is the solo album coming along?

It's recorded and called "Bright Light Ballads", It'll be out anytime soon.

Q: Are you looking forward to going on tour with Oasis later this week?

Yeah, of coarse I am, I like Europe.

Q: What songs do you have planned for the set list?

Oh, Er, Dunno, don't really use them.

Q: The Stands supported Oasis on numerous occasions, what do you make of the atmosphere before a Oasis gig?

It depends where your standing, or sitting if your inside or outside the fence, depends on lots of things.

Q: You're friendship with Noel goes back to 2003 when 'The Stands' recorded their debut album 'All Years Leaving' at Oasis' "Wheeler End" Studio. Was that a bit daunting for you? And did you enjoy the experience?

Don't recall being daunted or anything like that. Recall drinking a lot of red wine. Yeah, it was a quick session so bit fuzzy in recalling, what I can remember is great.

Q: What's your favorite album by Oasis? And Why?

The new one. Because it's the new one.

Q: What's your favorite track by Oasis? And Why?

Stop The Clocks is a good song, Slide Away to.

Q: Are there any other projects you are working on at the moment that you can tell us about.?

I've been writing songs with my sister Candie for her next record, that's well cool. There was an idea of me and Ethan Johns forming a group with a few other people too but that may just be drunk talk.

Q: Are there any other musicians that you would like to work with?

Yeah Pete Seeger or Sly Stone, maybe we could even have a trio.

Q: If you were trapped on a Desert Island with only three albums what would they be? And why?

No record is that good, I'd want a Ray Mears instructional DVD. OK maybe Harry Smiths Anthology of American Folk is that good.

Q: What was the first album you bought?

Dunno. I used to listen to whatever I could borrow/steal etc.

Q: Should musicians use their positions to get political messages across?

Only if they want to.

Q: How jealous are you of your brother for being engaged to Abi Harding? (from a site Visitor)

Oh c'mon man! that's not even a real question.

Q: Do you have any backstage diva demands for your Rider? Oasis should be aware of.

I'd like an organic roller skating hourse that sings Sinatra songs with saddlebags full of beer and orange revels in a Beatle wig, of coarse.

Thanks to Howard for taking the time to do this in his busy schedule.

Noel Gallagher: We Are Often Accused Of Plagiarism

2 comments



















We spoke with singer, guitarist and author of lyrics of the British group Oasis, Noel Gallagher, about their new album, the relationship between the two brothers and other interesting subjects.

Noel – how is your relationship with Liam lately - do you enjoy watching him work in the studio and giving him pointers?


I’m not allowed to give him direction even though I write the songs. I have to say to Dave, ‘Why’s he not singing it that way?’ ‘Cos if I say it to him, what he hears, in his headphones, is just pure insults. You know, when I say, ‘Liam old bean. You could awfully, awfully use a bit of diction on that second verse.’ And he’ll just say, ‘What did you call me?’ And it’s like, ‘I didn’t say anything!’ ‘What did you say about my kids?’ So I have to pretend I’m at the chippy, and I kind of sneak back in and say to Dave, ‘He’s not doing it right. Tell him he’s doing it wrong.’ And when we did Let There Be Love off the last record, and Dave, obviously he’s an American producer, Liam started singing the song and Dave was going, ‘I think you can beat it man’. So the tune starts and Dave goes, ‘Pretend you’re telling a story.’ And the song starts, and Liam’s going, ‘There was an old woman who lived in a shoe...‘ And starts singing it like he’s telling some nursery rhyme. Dave didn’t’ get it for about twenty seconds. He was going, ‘What’s he doing?’

Do you bother much about tracks of yours leaking onto the internet before release?

If it’s out there, and you can get it, you know, go ahead, I don’t wanna get into Lars Ulrich mode about this. You know, it’s well documented, I don’t have a computer, I don’t get involved in any of that kind of gear. But if people are willing to have faceless CDs like that in their collection, good for them. You know, it would be ludicrous for a rock star to demand that people pay money for albums, ‘cos maybe kids ain’t got that much money to pay for an album, and if they can find it for free, go ahead. Don’t do it on Oasis records though, ‘cos that’s against the law. Pinch as many Kaiser Chiefs as you like, get The Pigeon Detectives. Don’t nick any Oasis. I need to keep the Evian water topped up in my swimming pool.

How would you describe the new album?

The reason that this album sounds the way it does is that we had a lot of songs left over from the last record. Which were written for Don’t Believe The Truth. And they were kind of in that same British sixties kinda vein. And we had seven, I think, done. To fill in the gaps I wrote three songs. Not really thinking about whether they would go on the album, they were just gonna fill in the gaps. They were in a certain tuning, dropped D if any nerds are listening. Grunge tuning. And I played drums on the demos, and I’m not really a Keith Moon kinda drummer, I’m a Neanderthal, I’m a basher. We sent them to Dave Sardy. And he was like, ‘Wow have you got any more songs like this? This is what, we should make a record like this.’ And then going back to all the stuff that we ditched in the past, was like, yeah, I suppose we could do something with that, or we could do something with this. And slowly but surely it all started to change from a traditional British rock album to whatever one would describe it as now.

You’re in the middle of a big tour at the moment – after so much success, it’s a surprise you’re not doing a sponsored tour.

People kind of cotton on to that pretty quickly, they know when you mean it and when you don’t, you know what I mean. They know when you’re tour is sponsored by Kleenex and when you know, you’re getting out and you’re doing it for yourself and the fans that buy the records. There’s the Staple Centre and there’s the you know, the Budweiser arena or some other thing. But we won’t be playing the 02, I can assure you of that. Went to see Led Zeppelin there and somebody kind of nudged past me to get to their seat, and they had like chicken in a basket and some nachos, as they were going in to Black Dog. And I was like, you know what, there a people that would have given their left arm to be here. And this big dude is like, “Hey mate I think you’re sat in me seat”. ‘Cos he wanted to sit down and eat his dinner. It’s like, Jimmy Page is up there man, and he’s gonna bleed it out for you, you know what I mean, and all you’re bothered about is your Doritos and your Fanta. Other drinks are available. A security guard digged Liam in the ribs and told him to stand behind the yellow line. And Liam was out, Liam said if I have to pour petrol over my children rather than play in this gaff. And it was like, that was it.

The new album is called Dig Out Your Soul – that’s a very typical Oasis sounding title.

I ran out of ideas for album titles. It was gonna be, originally it was gonna be called Bag It Up. And then it was gonna be called Shock Of The Lightening. And then it was gonna be called Standing On The Edge Of The Noise. We’re in bands to fire people’s imagination about stuff. Not to call your album, Untitled or Oasis or something ridiculous. But it’s like, so I couldn’t think of any ideas, and then somebody had written, just taken bits of the lyrics out. And Dig Out Your Soul. I was like, you know what, titles become themselves, you know. Definitely Maybe’s not a great title, but it’s kind of, if the album’s good enough it’ll become itself. So I was, Dig Out Your Soul’s not the best one, but it was the best one of that day where we had to choose one. And it’s done. But it’s actually, it’s a bit of lyrics in one of Gem’s songs, but it’s not as a Japanese interviewer asked me today, was it about the birth of mankind and how one tries to dig one’s soul from the earth, mother nature and I was like, it’s actually referring to djing when you’re putting on some Motown. It’s a DJ digging out his soul.

How do you feel when you look back at your first three albums?

I don’t know. The first one is just a moment in time that was, that record had to come along at some point by somebody. I’m just glad that it was me and it was our band and it still gets great reviews. But the thing about the third album is you know, we’d gone from playing the Water Rats to playing Knebworth in under two years, and nobody was saying no to anything. It’s like, you could phone anybody, from anywhere, phone your manger, it’s seven in the morning in Hong Kong and just say, ‘Marcus, it’s Noel.’ ‘What do you want?’ ‘I’ve got a whim… I’ve forgotten what it was though… Can you send me one red chocolate shoe and one green apple to this suite number in Hong Kong by this evening.’ You know it’s kinda like that. And you know, the first single off Be Here Now was eight and half minutes long. And everyone was going, so there’s gonna be an edit. And I was like, I’m not editing anything, everyone’s like great. Brilliant. Yeah. Great, that’ll sound great that on Capital that when they play eight and half minutes of feedback in the morning. And we were kinda being a little bit, I was being a little bit more difficult than I would be these days. ‘Cos we were living the dream. I had a fur coat man. I actually remember I was out once, watching Paul Weller in the BBC theatre downstairs here, and I had this fur coat on and some journalist from the Guardian said, ‘is that a real fur coat?’ And I went ‘yes it is a real fur coat.’ He said ‘what fur?’ I said ‘it’s rabbit fur.’ She said, you know, ‘rabbit fur. That’s a bit odd.’ I said, ‘this is skinned from one rabbit, it’s been in my back garden for the last eight months. I’ve grappled this beast in my own hands and I’ve made a coat of it and I’m proud to wear it.’ And she thought I was being serious.

Do music prizes such as the Mercury mean much to you?

Music is like beauty right, it’s all in the eye of the beholder. There’s nobody to say that the next Franz Ferdinand record means more than the next Klaxons record because it doesn’t matter what you think. If it speaks to you, then that’s the end of it. There is no such thing as… You can get awards for record sales, so I guess that’s a physical thing. You’ve sold the most records. Here. Like, you know a washing-up liquid bottle. Go away. That kind of thing right. But to say that, and anyway, who are this panel? Every time we see this panel they look like the biggest bunch of squares in England. I mean I’m sorry, it’s just like, I don’t want you sitting in judgement on my record, you’ve not had a boyfriend for twenty five years. Who’s to say that you know, the Klaxons are greater musical exponents just because someone from The Guardian says so. You know, the curse of the Mercury’s now isn’t it, if you win it you’re automatically disappear.

So, making the new album, did you have a great time partying throughout?

I mean we had a good time out there, do you know what I mean, but we don't mess about when we work. We never drink in the studio or anything like that. All those days are over, you know. We used to bring the party into the studio, but it doesn't really make for great records. We had such a fantastic time kinda making and touring that album… Be Here Now, we lost the plot in those two years. If you've never lost the plot, it's amazing. You know, you end up waking up with midgets and dogs in sun glasses and it's just like, I don't know how I got here but I really really like this! That lasted into kinda 1998, and then it was kind of, you know, doing, having Red Stripe for breakfast was like, can't go on any more. I think I'm gonna bow out gracefully before me teeth fall out or summat. But it was, they were great times, but when you listen back to the music, now it's kinda, it could've been better, you know what I mean?

What is so special about the north of England and music, because you've got so many great bands from Manchester and Liverpool as well.

Liverpool's an island, and I think it's something that's been passed down through generations of the boats coming back from America with all the early… like the Beatles said that they could get records off the sailors that you couldn't even get in London, so I guess that kind of thing is passed down. But, if you go round the bars and the pubs in Liverpool and see anybody playing a guitar or jut getting up and doing like acoustic stuff. They've just got it. They've just got… and not, and I've gotta say there's not, I mean I'm kinda biased towards, no I just get it. I don't know what it is, they've just got such passion for great music, and they're all into the same kind music, you know, and it's all kind of obscure '60s stuff that you've never heard of you know. And then there was Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

You're often accused of stealing ideas from other bands.

Yeah, you see people accuse of being, sitting there and listening to the Beatles all day and all that, but I mean we don't, you know, there's moments of our records and on b-sides where we kind of stretch it a little bit. But it's not a conscious thing where we're like, 'right we must write something avant-garde here.' You know what I mean? It's kind of if it happens naturally then we'll do it. If it doesn't then we won't, you know, we do like sitting around strumming acoustic guitars. The biggest criticism that the music press have against us is that we're not Radiohead. But, correct me if I'm wrong, they've been making the same record since Kid A, have they not? I like them. Every time I see them live they blow me away, but you know, it's kind of, we make very accessible rock and roll music, you know, and they constantly make difficult electronic records. It's not a criticism of them, and it shouldn't be a criticism of us.

You've written songs for the band for the last four albums – when you started, did you ever think you wouldn't write for Oasis?

No. I can do what I want in this band, do you know what I mean. It's just if they're good enough, you know what I mean. And they seem to be getting better. I'm easy man, whether a song of mine goes on the album or not. I don't put a gun to anyone's head. It's if they like it then it goes on. If it doesn't go on I'm equally buzzing off it, singing the songs, you know what I mean. I'm a happy chap after singing songs. I sit there. I've got a guitar in me house, once the ironings done, if there's nothing on TV I sort of have a little play around, got me Dictaphone, bosh, something happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't. Ain't got a clue what it's about though. That word went with that word. That's the way it is man. And that's the way it sort of, like me and Andy Bell was going, 'well that's like being honest and being right', and that's how it comes because you're not thinking about it. If I didn't write another song I really really wouldn't be that arsed, you know what I mean. It's like, as long as I'm singing songs, that's my main, that's where I get my kicks, that's where I'm at.

You're singing well lately. How are you coping on the road?

I mean the last couple of rehearsals that we've been doing I've been singing like a proper proper geezer. So at the moment it's sounding good, so I've just got stay in and keep the door locked and not go out.

Do you remember your first gig with Oasis?

I think it, I tell you what, the first gig I think was, I think the first gig was in London in some like college. Like Dartford, or wherever Mick Jagger was from, it's round that way. In like some like, I think it was like a toga party? With all the students. But the first serious gig I think was like the King Tut's I think or I remember playing the Boardwalk and all our mates were there, about twenty lads just going like that. And it was just like a proper weird moment. I tell you the gig that, I think it was the one that really, when I sort of sat back and went, 'wow, this is, this is more like it. This is proper' was the T in the Park gig. I remember that one in the tent. And I sort of went, 'this is good!'

Finally are you looking forward to touring?

Love touring. Love making music. Love talking about it. Playing it. Touring. I adore it man. I adore it. I adore Oasis man. I'm its biggest fan. I do. I love it.

The interview was taken from the show “Backstage” on Zagreb’s Plavi Radio.

Noel Gallagher Celebrated Store Bargains By Giving Staff Tickets To Glasgow Gig

No comments











Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher popped into Cruise designer store to buy two pairs of shoes before his SECC gig and gave staff 30 tickets.

As well as purchasing the Guccis at £225 in Glasgow, he bought a pair of YMC trainers for £150 - both in the shop's sale. A chuffed Noel then added 30 of the store's staff to the band's guest list for last night's gig.

Oasis Tickets For Gig At Ricoh Arena For July 2009 To Sell Out By End Of The Week

No comments



















Tickets for next year’s Oasis gig in the Ricoh Arena are likely to sell out by the end of the week.

The rock group will be playing at the Coventry stadium on July 7 supported by city band The Enemy.

Tens of thousands of people have already snapped up tickets to the gig, with some die-hard Oasis fans camping outside the Ricoh to make sure they weren’t disappointed.

Fans have been putting on pressure for the band to add an extra date in Coventry but a spokesman for the Ricoh Arena said any plans for a second Oasis gig at the stadium were just rumours.

Rock legend Noel Gallagher said the band is looking forward to playing in Coventry, the only gig in next year’s tour in the Midlands. He said. “I’ve never been to the Ricoh before but apparently it’s really nice so I’m really looking forward to it. We’ve been to Coventry before though – we played at Coventry Uni in 1993.”

He also said he was looking forward to The Enemy supporting the band and said the Coventry trio have the sound of “early Oasis about them”.

Noel, who is the older of the two Gallagher brothers, said: “I’ve never actually met The Enemy – they came to see us at Birmingham but didn’t come backstage.

“I love their album and I actually bought it in a supermarket.”

The Enemy are currently recording their follow up album to their hit We’ll Live and Die in These Towns.

Oasis’s new album Dig Out Your Soul is now available and their latest single I’m Outta Time will be released on December 1.

Daniel Gidney, chief executive of the Ricoh Arena, said: “A number of keen Oasis and The Enemy fans queued overnight at the Ricoh when tickets went on sale on Thursday.

“There are still some tickets available so we urge anyone who wants to come to the gig to get their tickets quickly before they sell out.”

Tickets cost £45 each subject to a booking fee and are available via See Tickets at www.seetickets.com or at 0871 230 7137, or by logging on to www.ticketmaster.co.uk or www.oasisnet.com. There are a limited number of tickets available from the Ricoh box office but they are expected to have sold out by the end of the week.

Anyone want to take any guesses as to what this could be?
