Bonehead
Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, born 23 June 1965 (44 Today), Burnage, Manchester, England and is one of the founding members of English rock group Oasis and rhythm guitar player from 1991-1999.
He is almost exclusively known by his nickname Bonehead, a reference to the short back and sides haircut his father made him have when he was young.
Childhood And Early Musical Career
Arthurs was born in Manchester to Irish Catholic emigrants. His father worked in the demolition industry. Arthurs supports Manchester United.
He left school in 1981 and worked as a plasterer. He started his first band in 1984 -called Pleasure and Pain. Around this time he began a relationship with Kate, who he would later marry. In the late 1980s, while working as a building contractor, he started a band with his friends, Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan (bass), Tony McCaroll (drums) and Chris Hutton (vocals). They called themselves The Rain, after the Beatles' B-side. During this period, Arthurs owned a van which he used to transport the band's equipment to Hutton's garage where they would perform. The van was nicknamed The Bonemobile and was decorated by Guigsy with a psychdelic mural when they took it to The Stone Roses' legendary 1990 gig at Spike Island.
Oasis And Role Therein
When Hutton quit, he was replaced by Liam Gallagher. Liam changed the band's name to Oasis. Gallagher and Arthurs teamed up as co-songwriters. However, the band was still unsuccessful until Gallagher encouraged his brother Noel, who had just come back from travelling the world as a roadie for Inspiral Carpets, to join the band. Noel brought with him a collection of songs that were to make the band famous. Arthurs remembers the first songs Noel played to him being Live Forever and All Around The World.
He claims his favorite Oasis song to play was Columbia as the rhythm guitar part only consists of three chords. However, tour manager Ian Robertson has claimed that the first time Noel performed Champagne Supernova for the rest of the band - an acoustic version on the tour bus - Arthurs broke down and cried.
The Arthurs' front room was used on the iconic cover of Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe. Arthurs had painted and plastered the room himself.
When Oasis performed the song "Whatever" for Top of the Pops, they mimed and one of the cello players from the symphony was replaced by Arthurs, who clearly had no idea how the instrument is supposed to be played. Towards the end of the song, he gave up the pretense and started using the stick to conduct. A woman plays his rhythm guitar.
Nonetheless, Arthurs is a multi-instrumentalist and is credited as having played piano and mellotron on (What's the Story) Morning Glory? and can be seen on piano in the video for "Don't Look Back in Anger". He was supposed to take lead vocals on one Oasis track, "Bonehead's Bank Holiday" - a jocular ode on the double vinyl issue of (What's the Story) Morning Glory. However, in the end Noel sang the song as Arthurs had been nervous about his first vocal performane and when Liam Gallagher took him for some drinks to calm his nerves they overdid it- samples of their drunken singing were used on the track. Noel claims to enjoy the song for its comedic value "Particularly the way he sings it, because he's beyond tone deaf." He highlights it as Oasis' "Ringo track".
On top of his role as musician he also fulfilled the vital role of band diplomat, saying "If it ever kicked off between Noel and Liam I was never scared to dive in. I was renowned for it."
Although Noel Gallagher has downplayed his relatonship with Arthurs in recent years (claiming to have shared only a few hours of conversation with him in their six years in the same band, a claim he has always made -more convicingly - about Guigsy), he gave rather a different impression in 1995, stating "being in a band with [Bonehead] is not miserable, 'cos that guy is like Peter Sellers and Rigsby combined, with less morals with either of them - he's just outrageous". Noel is also godfather to the Arthurs' first child, Lucy Oasis Arthurs.
Post-Oasis
Arthurs left the band in 1999, during the recording of Oasis' fourth album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. In his official statement he claimed he wanted to spend more time with his family (his first son, Jude Arthurs - named after the Beatles' song Hey Jude - was born August 12, 1997). However, Noel Gallagher claims Arthurs left after a drunken row with Noel regarding a drink and drugs ban set by the band during recording. Noel had intended to ease the recording process by keeping Liam sober, and to make it fair, he insisted the rest of the band do likewise.
Arthurs could not cope and took to taunting Liam, drinking red wine and kicking other crew members doors in the early hours to pour booze over them[citation needed]. When Noel turned the tables and broke into Arthurs' room, waking him up by pouring wine over his head, Arthurs was so angry that he quit. His guitar parts were subsequently re-recorded by Gallagher.
Arthurs was replaced by Gem Archer, who was thereafter pointedly referred to as a "professional". The rest of the band downplayed the reaction to his departure, Noel commenting "it's hardly Paul McCartney leaving the Beatles". However, his status in the band was underlined when Guigsy also left, less than a month later, unwilling to continue without him.
Arthurs now lives in Manchester where he has built a studio under his house and formed Moondog One (named after Johnny and the Moondogs, one of the Beatles' former titles, before they rose to fame), which also includes The Smiths' Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke.
As of 2004 Arthurs teamed up with Thai superstar Sek Loso to play rhythm guitar alongside Loso's new English bandmates. The group is touring Asia, Europe, and the US in search of a label deal.
In early 2007 Bonehead had a visible presence in the North West of England for the first time since leaving Oasis 8 years previously. Bonehead's support for Andy Rourke's Versus Cancer fundraising concert saw the pair Busking together in Manchester's Cathedral gardens to raise Cancer awareness and to fundraise for Manchester's Christies Hospital. On March 30th 2007, the Versus Cancer concert was held at Manchester's MEN arena. Bonehead surprisingly played bass guitar (rather than the trademark rhythm guitar from his Oasis days) in a two-song-set early in the night. He was in a band billed as Electric Milk Band, which also featured former members of Happy Mondays amongst others. While Bonehead seemed at ease playing the instrument, it was so quiet that it was virtually inaudible in the mix. He also appeared to lap-up the crowds adulation (chants of "Bonehead" were heard as soon as the band walked onto the stage).
He has been playing DJ sets in clubs, most recently in London. His playlist heavily features Oasis classics like Live Forever, and collaborations between the Gallagher brothers and artists like Death in Vegas and The Chemical Brothers.
He also presented a radio show on BBC Radio Manchester with Terry Christian, Natalie-eve and Michelle Hussey. The show is Manchester Music and has had fellow Manchester Music artists as guests including intastella, members of Happy Mondays, The Smiths and The Charlatans amongst others.

Oasis
Concert promoters MCD tonight insisted the 80,000 capacity was not breached at this year’s Slane Castle gig.
Disgruntled fans flooded internet message boards and radio phone-ins complaining about massive transport delays, hour-long queues and alleged overcrowding at the Oasis headlined concert.
MCD accepted there were delays going into the venue as almost a quarter of concert-goers arrived on Dublin Bus.
But the firm said: “Overall the 80,000 fans who attended were extremely well behaved however there will always be a small number of individuals who engage in anti-social behaviour which is totally unacceptable.
“Attendance and capacity for the event was 80,000 which has been the capacity for standing concerts at the venue for the last 20 years.”
MCD spokesman Justin Green added: “We would maintain that there were 80,000 people in the venue.
“Safety is paramount.”
GardaÃ, Dublin Bus, MCD, Slane owner Lord Henry Mountcharles and officials in Meath will review the weekend concert over the coming weeks.
[James Villas]
Unhappy fans have been asked to complain directly to MCD at contactmcd.ie.
Meanwhile, Dublin Bus said it carried about 20,000 people to and from Slane this year.
Some 200 buses were parked up on the N2 south of the Boyne and up to 60 more were held back in Navan to be called in if needed at the end of the concert.
In a statement, the company said it had more than enough buses to cater for the numbers who wished to travel.
“Dublin Bus was one of many bus operators operating public transport services to and from Slane,” a spokeswoman said.
“The transport arrangements for buses were deployed in line with the pre-arranged traffic management plan for the area.
“Some of these buses were unfortunately delayed en route to the city due to traffic volumes.”

Liam Gallagher

The Enemy
Tom Clarke
The Enemy's Tom Clarke has revealed that his well-publicised spat with Oasis is well and truly over after the band joined the Mancunian legends on tour. Last month, the singer was quoted as saying the Gallaghers were "past it", prompting Liam to call Clarke a "little fucker", but Tom has told Xfm it's all been smoothed over.
Speaking to Xfm's Steve Harris, Tom explained that the current Oasis/Kasabian/Enemy tour featured "probably the best line-up that's ever existed."
"Liam came up straight away," he explained. "As soon as I got there and got over my little illness, he made sure I knew the score. He's a proper gent and Noel is the most normal bloke in the world, who happens to have written some of the best songs ever."
Tom also told Steve that being onstage while Oasis did their thing wasn't necessarily the best vantage point. "I've watched them from the side of the stage, but to be honest it's better watching them out the front. The fans have the best seats. You've got to be out there, steaming, singing the songs."
Listen to the full interview here
The Enemy's new single 'Sing When Your In Love' is out now, They will continue their Oasis support shows at Wembley Stadium on 9th July & will embark on their own headline tour in November.

Liam Gallagher Becomes a Member Of The Paparazzi
When Liam Gallagher runs into the paparazzi, they're usually rewarded with a single finger salute and some harsh words - so the snappers who confronted the Oasis in Dublin, Ireland this weekend were shocked when, instead of fighting Liam turned the cameras on them for a change.

Towers Of London
Dirk Tourette gets ready to 'fight against the pricks' again
Towers Of London have revealed that they are working on a batch of new songs.
Writing on MySpace.com/towersoflondon, guitarist Dirk Tourette blogged that they have spent the past few months in their recording studio ("the air raid shelter"), working on new songs including 'President', 'Legslide' and 'Heard It On The Stereo'.
"Well, we have been sat down the air raid shelter for months now like the three stooges just really fuckin havin' a larf and remembering what it was all about in the first place," Tourette wrote. "Getting in peoples faces, fighting against the pricks and pissing against the wind. But mostly playing fast speedy rock 'n' roll."
Tourette promised that the new songs – which are likely to feature on the follow up to 2008 album 'Fizzy Pop' – will be "real headshakers".
He went on to quote Oasis' Liam Gallagher in his blog by saying "It doesn't matter if its outta tune...cos your cool."
Gallagher can be heard saying that on Oasis' cover of The Beatles' 'I Am The Walrus', which was released as the B-side to 'Cigarettes And Alcohol' in 1994.
Before signing out, Tourette added that Towers Of London will post some new demos online "soon".

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com
Urgh..what a hangover! Horrific. Great, great night though. As spectacles go (and I don't mean the ones you wear) Slane Castle takes some beating.
I don't think I've seen The Prodigy since Knebworth but fuck me, they had it yesterday. Incredible behaviour. You gotta be good to follow Kasabian. They are.
Don't remember leaving the gig! I feel poisoned. Not looking forward to the flight home AND me and Irie Nancy have got to go to a friend's 40th tomorrow. More boozing. Shit!!
Got 10 days off though so mustn't grumble.
In a bit.

Oasis
Oasis, the one-time kings of Britpop, rolled back the years in front of 80,000 ecstatic fans on the banks of the Boyne.
Fourteen years after they last played Slane Castle, the Gallagher Brothers are back at the top — and it was a champagne supernova performance that wowed the huge crowd on Saturday.
That promised heat wave never did come but the kings of Mancunian cool turned up the heat from the first song.
Noel Gallagher admitted before the gig that his memories of the last time they visited Lord Henry Mount Charles's back garden were somewhat hazy.
But it must have all come back to him as he looked down at the huge crowd packed into the natural amphitheatre of one of the world's truly great rock venues.
And for the Gallagher brothers it was very much a family affair, with a huge contingent of the extended clan given VIP access for a gig that became something of a homecoming for a band still proud of their Mayo roots.
Kicking off with Rock ‘N’ Roll Star, the hill erupted as the British pop legends banged out some of their newest hits, such as Lyla and Shock of the Lightning, before delighting the crowd with classics including Roll With It, Wonderwall and their massive smash hit anthem Don't Look Back In Anger.
The united voice of thousands of the band's die-hard followers could be heard for miles around the castle as the iconic Manchester outfit rocked it up.
Back at the VIP garden party, scores of the brothers' extended family lapped up the atmosphere at a gig that is regarded as the first big date of the summer.
They could be seen living it up with other VIP guests in the cocktail bar, champagne room and Irish whiskey tent. Manchester City star Stephen Ireland was also on the list to party the night away alongside former Irish international footballer Gary Kelly.
Earlier, high-profile warm-up acts, including The Prodigy and Kasabian, entertained the crowd during the afternoon, as well as Mullingar band The Blizzards, who put on a high-energy set that was full of verve.
That kept the fans more than happy but there was no doubt who the real stars were.
With a whopping 70 million records sold worldwide, the crowd were left in no doubt that they were in the presence of a band that had shaped a generation.
This stadium tour sees the group play to their biggest audiences yet but it's doubtful they will ever forget their second visit to Slane. It was a triumph.

Oasis
Some concert-goers were highly critical yesterday of Dublin Bus over its transport arrangements after the Oasis concert in Slane .
Orla Delaney said the company did not provide enough buses to deal with the crowds.
“Dublin Bus did not provide enough transport for those who purchased a return ticket. There was no Garda presence where the buses were located. There were thousands of people everywhere with no way of getting home. The concert ended between 11 and 11.30pm yet we did not get a seat on an empty bus until 3am,” she said.
Darren Power from Waterford said he left the concert 30 minutes early to catch a bus to Dublin.
“I was on the bus at 11pm and did not reach O’Connell Street until 4.40am. In my time on the bus trying to get out of Slane, I saw hundreds of people frantically trying to get on buses to Dublin after 3am. Some of them were boarding as far as 10 kilometres from Slane,” he said.
Mr Power claimed there was “general chaos” before and after the gig with concert tickets not being checked and nobody being searched. “At no point on the way into the gig was I asked for my ticket. I also did not see anyone being searched. This was the case with many others I spoke to. Also, the entrance walkway through a forest to the gig was narrow and overcrowded.”
Den Loughran from Donnybrook said he had to walk for more than four hours in the dark despite having a bus ticket.
“In the end we had to beg a taxi driver and pay way over the odds to get a lift. On the road we passed thousands of stranded people, many lying in ditches, many crying, many looking scared and lost and with no idea of where to go or how to get home.
“It was a surreal, frightening and horrible experience. Many of the buses were overcrowded and going nowhere with people inevitably fighting on them. There must have been loads of people who never even made it home.”
A spokeswoman for Dublin Bus told The Irish Times the company had “everyone on a bus by 2am”.
“We had 200 buses waiting to take people home at the end of the concert. We cannot park more than 200 buses at the pick-up point according to the traffic management plan.
“When they were full, additional buses were sent from Navan,” she said. “They came 20 minutes after the other buses departed. We had everyone on a bus by 2am.”
A Garda spokesman said they were not aware of any problems to do with organisation or transport at the gig.
A spokesman for concert promoter MCD said last night it would look into any complaints brought to its attention

Crowds at Oasis show critical of transport
Some concert-goers were highly critical yesterday of Dublin Bus over its transport arrangements after the Oasis concert in Slane .
Orla Delaney said the company did not provide enough buses to deal with the crowds.
“Dublin Bus did not provide enough transport for those who purchased a return ticket. There was no Garda presence where the buses were located. There were thousands of people everywhere with no way of getting home. The concert ended between 11 and 11.30pm yet we did not get a seat on an empty bus until 3am,” she said.
Darren Power from Waterford said he left the concert 30 minutes early to catch a bus to Dublin.
“I was on the bus at 11pm and did not reach O’Connell Street until 4.40am. In my time on the bus trying to get out of Slane, I saw hundreds of people frantically trying to get on buses to Dublin after 3am. Some of them were boarding as far as 10 kilometres from Slane,” he said.

Yesterday's Oasis concert in Slane passed off with little trouble, gardaà said today.
Ten people were arrested on public order offences throughout the day, with two people detain on suspicion of drink driving.
A garda spokesman said those arrested at the event will appear before district courts in the locality.
Security was tight as 80,000 fans made their way to the Meath town from noon.
Extra manpower was also on patrol around the banks of the Boyne after two people drowned when the Manchester band played back-up to US rockers REM in 1995.
As The Prodigy, Kasabian, Glasvegas, and The Blizzards warmed up the crowd, Noel and Liam Gallagher brother’s extended Irish family soaked up the sunshine and atmosphere backstage in the VIP
area.
The hyped-up crowd then erupted as the Mancunian act took to the stage and kicked off the open air gig with Rock N Roll Star.
For almost two hours the group wowed fans with a mix of their most iconic classics like Roll With It and Wonderwall with some of their newer hits.

Duffy
Liam Gallagher
Manic Street Preachers
Oasis
Stereophonics
Rowdy Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher gave more than a great performance when his band were in Cardiff 10 days ago.
He gave one Welsh fan a forthright take on playing in the capital, life on the road and what he thinks of Welsh songstress Duffy.
The Manchester megastar said he enjoys coming to Wales “when you get in for nowt”.
Referring to the band’s trip over the Severn Bridge he said: “Yeah, I don’t know about that ******* paying to get in, but we got in tonight for nowt.
“We were stuck in traffic and the police came and helped us in, so that was nice.
“We had our money ready and everything but they just went ‘You’re all right’.
“Miracles do happen.”
He went on to tell Cardiff super fan Louise Davies that he “didn’t know there was a Welsh music scene” – even though his band was being supported at the Millennium Stadium gig by Welsh group The Peth.
“I’ve not heard the ******* Peth man,” the 36-year-old singer said. “I got here late.
“Nah, I do like Rhys, I like The Super Furry Animals and all that stuff.
“Stereophonics are cool and the Manic Street Preachers.”
He had harsh words for retro soul star, Grammy and Brit Award-winning Duffy.
“She was all right ’til she opened her mouth.
“The music’s alright, know what I mean?
“Until she did that ******* stupid advert and things like that.
“It’s ******* ridiculous.”

Oasis
Definitely no maybes as Britpop legends thrill 80,000 fans
Oasis, the one-time kings of Britpop, rolled back the years in front of 80,000 ecstatic fans on the banks of the Boyne last night.
Fourteen years after they last played Slane Castle, the Gallagher Brothers are back at the top -- and it was a champagne supernova performance that wowed the huge crowd.
That promised heat wave never did come but the kings of Mancunian cool turned up the heat from the first song.
Noel Gallagher admitted before the gig that his memories of the last time they visited Lord Henry Mount Charles's back garden were somewhat hazy.
But it must have all come back to him as he looked down at the huge crowd packed into the natural amphitheatre of one of the world's truly great rock venues.
And for the Gallagher brothers it was very much a family affair, with a huge contingent of the extended clan given VIP access for a gig that became something of a homecoming for a band still proud of their Mayo roots.
Kicking off with Rock N Roll Star, the hill erupted as the British pop legends banged out some of their newest hits, such as Lyla and Shock of the Lightning, before delighting the crowd with classics including Roll With It, Wonderwall and their massive smash hit anthem Don't Look Back In Anger.
The united voice of thousands of the band's die-hard followers could be heard for miles around the castle as the laconic Manchester outfit rocked it up.
Back at the VIP garden party, scores of the brothers' extended family lapped up the atmosphere at a gig that is regarded as the first big date of the Summer.
They could be seen living it up with other VIP guests in the cocktail bar, champagne room and Irish whiskey tent.
Manchester City star Stephen Ireland -- who is said to be a hero of the lads -- was also on the list to party the night away alongside fellow footballer and former Irish international Gary Kelly, who hails from just up the road in Drogheda.
Other celebrity guests at the gig included surprise Oasis fans lawyer Gerald Keane and RTE star Marty Whelan.
Welcoming them with open arms, Henry Mount Charles said: "A combination of the Prodigy and Oasis in the year 2009 is hard to beat -- and I'd like to officially declare Noel and Liam Gallagher honourary Slane people."
He also thanked the people of Slane for giving the concert the go-ahead.
As darkness began to descend on the castle, throngs of satisfied revellers made their way up the steep incline and home.
The imposing castle, seat of the aristocratic Mount Charles family, was the only thing left bustling with life. And one couldn't help but wonder whether the rest of us were missing the real party.
Earlier, high-profile warm-up acts, including The Prodigy and Kasabian, entertained the crowd during the afternoon, as well as Mullingar band The Blizzards, who put on a high-energy set that was full of verve.
That kept the fans more than happy but there was no doubt who the real stars were.
With a whopping 70 million records sold worldwide, the crowd were left in no doubt that they were in the presence of a band that had shaped a generation.
This stadium tour sees the group -- completed by guitarist Gem Archer, bassist Andy Bell and drummer Chris Sharrock -- play to their biggest audiences yet but it's doubtful they will ever forget their second visit to Slane. It was a triumph.

Liam Gallagher
Oasis
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher was so desperate for an upmarket chip butty while on tour in Manchester he hired a helicopter to fly him to a Lake District hotel.
Liam, 36, and Tom Meighan, 28, singer with rock band Kasabian who are supporting Oasis, landed in a field next to the Miller Howe Hotel in Windermere.
The manager, Nigel Williamson, said yesterday: "It was bizarre. I went out to meet them and Liam came striding across the fields in leopard-print shoes."
The rock stars ate chip butties with tomato sauce and drank Pinot Grigio white wine and tequila in the hotel conservatory.
Nigel said: "Their language was quite colourful so it was just as well they had a private room."
