Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere
Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com
Sorry droogs. Forgot about you lot!
Now then - what's been happening?
Well, we went to Lisbon. I thought it wouldn't get any better than Barcelona and Madrid - how wrong I was. I think it was my favourite night of the whole tour so far. It may well have been the best gig too. Them kids sang it LOUD, man.
Gave our disc-jockey a lesson in heavy psychedelic rock music in the dressing room afterwards. I really should try my hand at that dj'ing malarky. I'd be fuckin' brilliant.
Left the people of Lisbon with a message of love for José Mourinho. We really do need him back in England. Preferably at Man City.
We were in Toulouse last night (that's in France, if anyone's reading this from The Daily Star). Them French kids are a bit more laid back than their Latino cousins. A quiet gig.
Watched 'Scarface' last night on the bus. Suddenly dawned on me that it's the first time I've seen it since "the 90s" and not been acting out nearly every scene with Tony Montana - political refugee. (I never did get that tiger I promised myself). Great film though.
I send you this message from Marseille (that's also in France). Gig tonight, then onto our spiritual home ITALIA.
In a bit.

On This Day In Oasis History...
"Don't Look Back in Anger" is a song by the British rock band Oasis, written by the band's guitarist, Noel Gallagher. Released as the fourth single from their hit second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, on February 19th 1996.
The song became the band's second single to reach #1 in the United Kingdom charts, where it also went platinum. "Don't Look Back in Anger" was also the first Oasis single to feature Noel on lead vocals instead of his brother, Liam Gallagher. The title is perhaps a play on the song "Look Back in Anger", from David Bowie's Lodger album or on the play, Look Back in Anger by John Osborne, from which Bowie's song took inspiration.
Music video
The video for the song, directed by Nigel Dick, features Patrick Macnee, the actor who played John Steed in the 1960s television series The Avengers, apparently a favourite of the band. While filming the video, drummer Alan White met future wife Liz Atkins. They were married 13 August 1997 at Studley Priory Hotel, Oxfordshire but later divorced. Macnee has no recollection of the filming of the video.
History
Noel said of the song, "[It] reminds me of a cross between All the Young Dudes and summat the Beatles might've done." Of the character "Sally" referred to in the song he commented, "I don't actually know anybody called Sally. It's just a word that fitted, y'know, might as well throw a girl's name in there. It's gotta guarantee somebody a shag off a bird called Sally, hasn't it?". Noel claims that the character "Lyla", from Oasis' 2005 single is the sister of Sally. In the interview on the DVD released with the special edition of Stop the Clocks, Noel also revealed that a girl approached him and asked him if Sally was the same girl as in The Stone Roses' track "Sally Cinnamon". Noel replied that he'd never thought of that, but thought it was good anyway.
Noel admits that certain lines from the song are lifted from John Lennon: "I got this tape in the United States that had apparently been burgled from the Dakota Hotel and someone had found these cassettes. Lennon was starting to record his memoirs on tape. He's going on about 'trying to start a revolution from me bed, because they said the brains I had went to my head.' I thought 'Thank you, I'll take that'!" "Revolution from me bed" most likely refers to Lennon's infamous bed-ins in 1969, both in the quote and in the song. The piano during the intro of the song highly resembles Lennon's "Imagine". Like many other popular songs,the chord progression for both the verse and the chorus are based on the classical piece Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel. The songs only differ slightly at the end of each phrase. Gallagher also admits that he was under the influence of substances when he wrote the song, and to this day he claims he does not know what it means.
The song has become a favourite at Oasis' live performances. Noel encourages the crowd to sing along and often keeps quiet during the chorus, allowing the fans instead to sing along while he focuses on his guitar playing. The volume of crowd noise that usually descends on the chorus at concerts is easily audible on the rendition of "Don't Look Back in Anger" on Familiar to Millions. During the Dig Out Your Soul Tour the song has been played acoustically at a slower rate by Noel. Which surprised some fans, but it is still sung by all the fans.
In a 2006 radio interview, Liam Gallagher said that it was he who came up with the line "so Sally can wait" as Noel was struggling with that particular line at the time. Noel confirms this on the bonus DVD, entitled Lock the Box, released with the Stop the Clocks retrospective album. In the interview with Colin Murray, Noel admits, "I was doing it in the sound check and the so Sally bit, I wasn't singing that...and he [Liam] says, 'Are you singing so Sally can wait?' and I said, 'No.' and he said, 'Well you should do.'"
Noel was so excited of the potential of the song when he first wrote it, he used an acoustic set to perform a work-in progress version, without the second verse and a few other slight lyrical differences to the finished version, at an Oasis concert at the Sheffield Arena on April 22, 1995, saying before playing that he'd only written it the previous Tuesday (April 18, 1995) and that he didn't even have a title for it.

Liam Gallagher: Coldplay They Win Everything Don't They?
Liam Gallagher has tipped Coldplay to clean up at the Brits - saying they would probably even be crowned best new female act.
Coldplay were nominated for four Brit awards and earlier this month they bagged three Grammy awards, including song of the year.
Liam called in to Johnny Vaughan and Liam's wife Nicole Appleton, who was standing in for Lisa Snowdon on the 95.8 Capital FM Breakfast Show, to give his Brits predictions. Asked who should win the British album gong, Liam said: "Personally, I'd go with the Ting Tings."
But asked who would win, Liam said: "Well who do you think? Coldplay! They win everything don't they? They'd win the best new female act won't they!"
In the British group stakes, Johnny asked Liam if he was a Girls Aloud fan.
The Oasis frontman replied: "Not really no!
"They're all right, you know what I mean? Some of their tunes are all right!
"Coldplay have got to win it haven't they, I suppose."
In the British male solo artist category, Gallagher tipped: "Paul Weller man!
"Ian Brown is a dude, I like them all. I think James Morrison is a top songwriter. Ian Brown is obviously the man but I think Paul Weller should get it man, his album is mega!"

Women Don't Want Men Like Liam Gallagher
Women say the British man is a disappointment - with failings epitomised by the likes of Liam Gallagher and Russell Brand.
While beer bellies are a turn off, so too is the Neanderthal way modern men walk with slouched shoulders and slumped posture, with the Oasis frontman a typical example.
Neither do they like the ultra-skinny look of Russell Brand, said the research by specialist shoemaker MBT, with 98 per cent of women not liking men in eyeliner and skinny jeans.
Half of women believe both the posture and masculinity of men have worsened from their father's day, said a new study.
Although men may walk like cavemen, they don't behave like them - and women are tiring of the `metrosexual', guy-in-touch-with-his-emotions image too.
What they want is a gentleman, perhaps slightly flawed, but one who stands tall such as fictional figures like James Bond to Mr D'Arcy to rifleman Sharpe.
What they don't want is a slouch, with 94 per cent turned off by knuckle-draggers.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere
Taken from Noel's Tour Diary for oasisinet
Alright there. Phew! Barcelona was a great gig. And a great night. Free Peace are still having it. Tuff Levi turned up. Played us some of his new tunes. Sounded great the first couple of times then it got a bit silly. Must've heard 'em 20 times in a row! All good though.
Couple of Swedish friends of ours were in town (they're DJs). Me, The Prophet, Romeo, Levi and a few stragglers went to some discotheque they were playing at after the show. A good night. If I remember correctly (which I don't!).
Currently in Lisbon. Dunno much about the place. We don't seem to come here often. Or do we? Fuck knows.
It's a nice day though.
In a bit.
NG.

Noel Gallagher's Manchester City Band
Noel Gallagher wants to form a Man City-supporting band to record an official club song.
The rocker says: “It wouldn’t be a bad supergroup — Johnny Marr, Billy Duffy, Doves, Damon Gough, Mike Pickering and Rick Wakeman. And don’t dis Rick — he’s one of us.
“There’s a guy out of the Super Furry Animals and two guys out of The Coral too.”
He adds: “I’d probably also say yes to doing an FA Cup Final record too — then sober up and say, ‘Hang on a minute, I can’t be writing an FA Cup song’.
