Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

Hello there. Been a few days, eh? Where HAVE we been? I know we were in Milan last night. What a night! A great, great gig was followed - somewhat predictably - by a monumental drink-up. Didn't go out anywhere. Just at the hotel bar.

David Beckham came to the gig. Was good to catch up with him again after that night in Vegas - remember?

Irie Nancy was in town and all. Shopping, of course. She brought me big laughs and tales of The Mighty I. who's taken to wearing tights while the cold bites back home.

Am currently in a TV studio in Paris. Hanging around. Doing nothing. Still a little bit drunk, I think.

Flying to Germany tonight to do that show we cancelled the other week. Or maybe it's tomorrow. Fuck knows. Either way, I'd rather be in bed.

Au revoir'n'all that.

Oasis' Royal Snub In New Video

Oasis - Falling Down MySpace Exclusive


Indie band Oasis have taken a swipe at the Royal family in their new music video.
The Manchester lads made their feelings clear in the video to Falling Down, which features a fake Royal princess being snubbed by the band.

Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher can be seen scowling at the princess in the short clip when they are introduced at a showbiz event both refusing to shake her hand.

The princess is also seen leaving the room of a sexy young man and trying to visit a council estate possibly to meet him but is foiled by security guards.

The video is also spliced together with real footage - in the end, slightly hysterical, she resigns herself to her Royal duties and goes out to meet Prince Charles and the rest of the family on the balcony.

Noel Gallagher: High School Musical Is Like Drugs

Noel Gallagher has said High School Musical is like drugs.

The Oasis rocker revealed to Absolute Radio's Christian O'Connell on his Breakfast Show that his daughter Anais - from his marriage to first wife Meg Mathews - is "obsessed" by the Disney sing-a-long films and prefers them to his music.

Noel said: "Yes, I have a nine-year-old daughter who's into that rubbish, you know.
"Well it's like aural drugs isn't it, you know. But yes, they get obsessed and it ain't good for them, you know. I guess it's better than... mind you, what did we have in our day, the Magic Roundabout and Catweazle."

Earlier this month Noel slammed hit video game Guitar Hero.

The 41-year-old musician told Total Guitar magazine: "I always tell kids playing a guitar is not a video game, there is no level to get to. You'll never master it and you'll never complete the game.

"I've never played Guitar Hero myself, I suppose I'm a bit old-fashioned.

"If it puts little plastic guitars into kids' hands and fires their imaginations, I guess it's a good thing."

Interesting quote from Noel in his interview with Christian O'Connell earlier today on Absolute Radio. He was speaking about the new single.

"Always excited when a new single comes out, you know. We've got some new b-sides and some different mixes of it and all that - some of them are quite monumental. Be nice for the kids to get hold of, I think."

Twist And Clout From Manc Band

Noel and Liam Gallagher would choose a cup of tea over a punch-up nowadays.

But the mellowed Oasis brothers have passed on the baton to their European tour support act, fellow Mancs Twisted Wheel.

While Liam and Noel were tucked up in bed after their Milan gig on Monday, the youngsters — singer Jonny Brown, bassist Rick Lees and drummer Adam Clarke — were scrapping in a city centre bar.

A Brit tourist who saw the 3am fight said: “They’d had a bit to drink and started mouthing off at a group of locals who were slagging off Oasis. There were punches thrown before they were separated.”

Noel and Liam would expect nothing less.

Manchester City Fan Noel Gallagher Dedicates Oasis Song To Kaka

Just about everyone who's heard of Mancunian rock band Oasis knows that songwriter and guitarist Noel Gallagher and his singer brother Liam are massive Manchester City fans.

What is perhaps less well-known to may British fans of the group however, is that they are also very popular in Italy, and Noel actually counts Italian striking legend Allessandro Del Piero as a personal friend.

The songwriter was interviewed by Controcampo on Sunday night, where he confirmed that Del Piero was a personal friend.

"[Del Piero] is a great friend," he said.

"David Beckham is a friend ... now he is at Milan.

"Kaka? To me it seemed like pure folly from the outset. Maybe in three years time he will regret not joining Manchester City."

Noel also added his own views to the recent lengthy transfer saga that, eventually, saw Brazilian superstar Kaka stay at AC Milan, and not move to the Gallaghers' beloved Citizens, memorably reportedly uttering the choice phrase, "F*** Arsene Wenger."

Noel's choice to dedicate the song 'Don't Look Back In Anger' to Kaka last night at a concert in Milan, was met by rapturous cheers from the crowd, who were delighted that the Rossoneri legend received a mention.

Oasis To Debut Royal-Baiting 'Falling Down' Video Today (Feb 3)

Film for new single takes aim at monarchy

Oasis will debut the video for their new single 'Falling Down' at 5pm (GMT) today (February 3).

The video will be able to watch at MySpace.com/oasis from 5pm. However, fans can get see an exclusive selection of video stills now at NME.COM/photos now.

The video was directed by Wiz, who as well as the Gallaghers has made videos for Massive Attack and Primal Scream.

The 'Falling Down' promo mocks the British monarchy, cutting real footage of Prince Charles with footage showing the double life of a would-be royal.

However a spokesperson for band explained that "the video is director Wiz’s vision and is not directly related to the song".

They added: "Only Wiz knows what the story is but themes around fame, celebrity and secret lives are clearly part of his inspiration."

To find out exactly what Wiz had in mind for the controversial new film, get this week's issue of NME, on UK newsstands tomorrow (February 4) for more pictures from the set and an exclusive interview with Wiz himself.

'Falling Down' is set to be released as a single on March 9.
