Tom Chaplin On Oasis V Blur

Keane frontman Tom Chaplin has revealed he sided with the Blur during their mid-nineties chart battle with Oasis.

He said: "I think, overall, given the body of work I would say I'm more of a Blur fan than an Oasis fan.

"I know that there is an idea that somehow we've got this thing or this weird war of words going on with Oasis which isn't true.

"Noel Gallagher said stuff about us in the past and I don't know if we've ever really reacted to it."

Oasis' Local Press Reports From Benicassim

ABC – Benicassim sings along Oasis

The played at home for the third time. When we say home, we mean Benicassim. We also say that because the majority of the crowd was British. The thing is that the Gallagher brothers won once again. Almost 50.000 fans sang along their anthems and new songs. The karaoke in Don´t Look Back in Anger was simply magnificent. They played for more than hour and a half, including Wonderwall twice thank´s to Liam´s behaviour. They ended the setlist with a Beatles classic “I am the walrus”, which put the stage upside down.

El Mundo – Fibers face crisis with Benicassim and Oasis

And finally Oasis placed. Liam went out with one of his parkas and he did not take it out during the entire gig although he did not stop sweating. They played a setlist charged with rock´n roll classics such as 'Rock n roll star', 'Roll with it', 'Live forever' o 'Wonderwall'. Even they played Wonderwall twice. Liam, we still do not know why, at the half of the first version replied the crow inviting them to take their money back. They stopped the song, and they played entirely again. Despite of that, the show was great. Even Glasvegas paid them a tribute.

El País – Oasis drive Crazy Benicassim

Light offs. Liam Gallagher, Oasis frontman, creach the stage in a non-friendly face. He spits and the crowd shouts. He starts singing Rock´n Roll Star and he finishes his beer. His brother, Noel, remains in a second row while Liam shows his arrogance, indolence and rock´n roll behaviour. The beginning was historic, as the gig, with the first rows of the audience becoming an oven. The right time, the right place. Oasis opens Benicassim at their best. Lads are back!

Pictures of the gigs can be found here, here & here.

Oasis Concert: More Than 100 eBay Auctions For Tickets

There are now 116 auctions on eBay for tickets for the Oasis concert at Bridlington Spa.

Local fans have axpressed anger after queueing for hours for tickets earlier this week only to miss out because of the huge demand - while other people who managed to get tickets are now selling them online.

Many of the 116 eBay auctions are for pairs of tickets and they are selling for about £100 a ticket at the moment - more than double the face value.

Sellers are from all over the UK.

Oasis Blitz Benicassim

FURTHER sound problems and the intense heat couldn't dampen LIAM and NOEL GALLAGHER's enthusiasm on the opening night of Benicassim festival in Spain.

The infamous brothers were on banging form, giving lively banter to the full capacity crowd.

But last night did not come without problems, with the boys declaring the set "a shambles" due to persistent sound problems.

The third time the Manc legends have experienced major techincal problems at a gig since June.

Ironically it was during Wonderwall - same song as at Wembley on July 9 - where the sound totally cut out.

Halfway through Liam suddenly stopped singing and left the stage.

After letting the crowd complete their own rendition, Noel then started to play Whatever acoustically telling the crowd "I bet you don't know the words!"

But Liam appeared far from angry, smiling when he came back on to replay Wonderwall and then telling fans they should get their money back.

During the persisent silent pauses, Noel branded the noise in the nearby dance tent as "sh*t", before adding that nothing could compete with their set.

The band's older material got undoubtedly the biggest cheers of the night, with stand out tracks being Slide Away and Wonderwall.

With humidity levels sky high, Liam stepped off stage in his trademark trench coat looking like he'd been for a swim in the sea.

VIPs were given a pool backstage but Liam didn't have time to use it as the band were whisked away in police-taped cars seconds after walking off stage.

Rating: 4.5/5

GLASVEGAS

IT'S a big job to follow Oasis - but Glasvegas managed to keep up momentum on the opening night with a 45-minute set which kicked off in the early hours.

JAMES ALLAN and co proved their exceptional talent, ripping through a mesmorising set heavily led by their chart-topping self-entitled album.

Decked out in their trademark black jeans, tee's and shades, the Scottish rockers had fans hooked from the start with Daddy's Gone and Geraldine.

It's My Own Cheating Heart that Makes Me Cry and Go Square Go also went down well.

And just in case anyone was still having Oasis withdrawal symptoms, the band - recent Biz Session guests - produced a cool cover of Whatever that the Gallagher brothers would have been proud of.

On a night which saw compatriots THE VIEW also take to the Main Stage, it was Glasvegas who pipped it - just.

Rating: 3.5/5

THE VIEW

DUNDEE rockers The View kicked off the festival in style with a typically raucous and energetic set.

It was only 8.30pm but the boys looked like they had already sunk a few beers before wobbling onstage.

A translator might have been handy so fans could work out exactly what frontman KYLE FALCONER was saying inbetween songs in his strong Scottish twang.

However there was no mistaking their love for headliners Oasis as Kyle declared them "the best band in the world".

The set was a little hit and miss, with the crowd struggling to match the band's enthusiasm as they belted out some unfamiliar tracks.

However when they ended with a collection of more recognisable offerings such as Superstar Tradesman, Same Jeans and Wasted Little DJ's, fans danced merrily as the sun set for the night.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

So! The Eden Project. A wonderful place. Particularly for the kids, one would've thought.

As for a rock'n'roll show? I'm not so sure. It was a re-scheduled show from last September (did I mention that?) when that idiot broke up my rib-cage. Somewhat predictably it fuckin' pissed down! SIDEWAYS!! It was raining on stage at one point. The audience were all in proper wet weather gear. Was like playing to the hippies at Greenham Common in the 80s.

All that being said, I really enjoyed it. Quite intimate. 6,000 wurzels. Think there was actually more people in the dressing room on Sunday night at Wembley. Good laugh. Didn't hang around after, still felt rough after the weekend.

Feel tip-top today though. Which is great 'cos we're in Valencia for that Benicassim festival. SCORCHIO!! Having a lazy day. Getting some sun. Basking in the glory of Man City's spending. Carlos Tevez joined us yesterday (or maybe the day before)!! What an exciting time for us. The Oasis tour finishes about 2 games into the new season. I fully plan to go to every game possible next season. Usually manage about 6 a season. Gonna have a lot of time on my hands in the near future so bring it on. WE ARE CITY.

In a bit.

XL Video For Oasis

XL Video UK continues its long and creatively fruitful history with superstar UK rockers Oasis, supplying full video production for their ongoing "Dig Out Your Soul" world tour.

XL also supplied a fully HD PPU/camera package for the summer stadium and outdoor special shows on the itinerary.
XL is also supplying kit for a third variation on Oasis' video design - similar to but larger than the original touring version - for their festival headline slots.

Says XL's project manager Des Fallon, "Respect to the Oasis production management team lead by Michael O'Connor. Their attention to detail is second to none, they totally understand the importance of video and the role it plays in the show, and making things happen smoothly and efficiently in video world is very easy".

For the large shows XL Video is working both directly for Oasis and for live video director Dick Carruthers' company, Cheese Film & Video. The stadium show video is a vibrant mix of playback and IMAG which Carruthers - as is his oeuvre - uses as a platform to push the imaginative and technical horizons of the system.

Two amazing looking 8 mm Mitsubishi 8 mm screens stage left and right provide playback to the majority of the audience at the outdoor/stadium shows. Each measures 10 modules wide by 8 high and delivers stunning HD clarity.

Onstage, there are 5 columns of Barco MiTrix, each made up of 144 panels - a subtle increase to the 4 column arena touring version of the design. This 5 column MiTrix set up is also used for festivals.

Also integral to the original arena touring - and now the festival set up - are 4 standard definition robo-cams. These, together with the touring/festival content for the MiTrix surfaces - are operated by lighting designer Rob Gawler. XL is also supplying the 3 Catalyst media servers Gawler uses to feed content to the MiTrix, and the HD robo-cam units which are swapped in for the outdoor/stadium gigs.

On the outdoor shows, to enhance sight lines for sections of the audience positioned at extreme angles to the stage, XL is supplying 2 additional Lighthouse R7 left and right LED screens - each 5 panels wide and 4 high - offering a TX feed of the stage action.The stadium package is completed with one of XL Video's full HD PPUs including 6 Sony E50 HD broadcast quality cameras.

Dick Carruthers needs no introduction for his inventive and original approach to live video direction. The magic is in the mix!
He mixes the show from the FOH position, just behind the lighting desk, and has designed the video control set up for ultimate flexibility, with a central matrix at its hub to route any source to any destination.

The main Mitsubishi side screen IMAG mix from the 10 cameras (6 operated and 4 robos) is controlled via a Snell & Wilcox Kahuna console operated by Carruthers - a powerful console specified because it can mix numerous HD and SD sources and achieve complex DVE processing extremely fast, rendering material onscreen in real time.

At strategic moments, elements of the IMAG - usually treated/effected for added visual flavour and colour - is also output to the MiTrix Columns. Although there are some very precise cues, other elements of the mix are a fluid process which Carruthers evolves improv-style each night.
"Having all sources capable of being sent everywhere is a simple concept that's complex to achieve totally live," he explains. He creates some truly spectacular effects along the way, e.g. morphing the lava flow in "To Be Where There's Life" into facial close ups using the Kahuna's contour mapping facility.

There is massive imaginative scope in the system. A single image or camera feed can be output across 7 screens - like a sole audience shot during "Don't Look Back In Anger" making that high impact emotional connection that's so special to any live performance. At other times, it can be offbeat multi-snapshots from individual cameras mapped to individual screens for quirky, questioning looks.

Central to the show's video aesthetics is having movement on the cameras. There is a tracking dolly at FOH and another in the pit plus a jib, while 2 hand-helds oscillate between being onstage and offstage - everything is in a constant state of flux.

Also at FOH is a Barco Encore multi-screen system provided by XL and operated by Richard Turner. This is primarily for controlling the IMAG elements sent to the MiTrix screens and for interacting with Gawler's Catalyst generated playback footage.

A GV Kayak mixer/switcher is used as backup and a stills store. With all 3 console outputs - and Gawler's Catalysts also fed into the matrix, potentially the show could be controlled from any one.

An EVS machine is used for all the slomo effects, adding another layer of visual intricacy - and one that's proved a big hit with both band and production. "You have to be bold" is a key phrase in Carruthers' modus operandi - the EVS enables 'live' slomos that can be instantaneously cut to different screens in real time - right in the heat of the moment, as the vibe takes him.

The 3 Catalysts driven by Gawler's Hog 3 lighting console deal with all the playback material going onto the MiTrix columns, and are tied in with his lighting cues. This system functions independently for festivals and as the ongoing arena tour package. He also has a TX feed recording from the outdoor events which he can use for festivals. For the stadium/outdoor shows themselves, Gawler's playback footage and the robo-cam feeds are amalgamated with the various broadcast camera feeds via the Encore system, and Justine Catterall joins the FOH team providing additional playback production.

The striking appearance of the onscreen material has become a real talking point, and with many shows starting in daylight, the clarity of the output makes a big difference to audience enjoyment of the video elements throughout the entire show.

Des Fallon concludes, "Oasis have been at the top of their genre for over a decade and are still embracing fresh and innovative ideas and investing in high production values for their audience. It's great to be part of this".

City have made a £30million bid for Terry, 28.

But Noel said: "I don't like John Terry. He's got funny eyes and he's a cry baby.

"He's also a Cockney and he'd absolutely be coming just for the money."

The Ten Best Rock'N'Roll Frontmen

Who are the best rock'n'roll frontmen of all time? Not solo artists but real frontmen - men that actually front bands. We choose some of our favourites.

01. Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols

Yes he's not very cool anymore, but 30 years ago Johnny Rotten was the snarling, sneering photogenic face of punk rock. His natural ability to (often literally) wear a load of rubbish and still look breathtaking combined with a voice that immediately captured the dark sarcasm of his lyrics.



02. Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones

He may not have pioneered the hip swivelling, camp-as-a-row-of-tents frontmen approach (Little Richard and of course Esquerita got there 10 years earlier) but Jagger certainly made it his own. Mixing a voice that brings-to-mind the arrogance of grizzled old bluesmen, an off-stage reputation as a snobby twit and a dance resembling a chicken and Jagger is, for many, the ultimate frontman.



03. Jimi Hendrix of the Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hendrix's on-stage theatrics rarely overshadowed his immeasurable talent but it can't be denied that Hendrix was as much showman as he was musician. With a dress sense as good as his guitar playing, a reputation as something of a drugs dustbin and the ability to do with his guitar what Little Richard did with his vocals - Hendrix pretty much invented the rock'n'roll cliché. That so many have followed his path speaks volumes.



04. Marc Bolan of T Rex

Marc Bolan mixed the foppish persona of Mick Jagger with the voice and hair of Bob Dylan and the fashion of David Bowie when he helped to pioneer glam rock. Often dismissed as a tween pin-up, Bolan was in fact vital to reinforcing the ever-important teen divide in the early 1970s - making long hair, beards and flares the look of the establishment rather than the cosmic teenage rebels.



05. Iggy Pop of The Stooges

A true wildman of rock'n'roll, Iggy Pop (or James Newell Osterberg, Jr. as his mother knew him) took blues-inspired rock'n'roll to new levels in the late 1960s. After watching Jim Morrison (whose omission from this list is sure to be questioned) perform at the University of Michigan in 1967, Pop took his stage act to new extremes, rolling in glass, exposing himself and vomiting onstage. Without Pop, punk rock would not have developed as we know it.



06. Freddie Mercury of Queen

Freddie Mercury is another who aped Mick Jagger, although Mercury's performance was more outlandish in almost every way. His untrained voice was one of a kind, rolling from heavy rock baritone to soaring falsetto with ease, while image wise Liza Minnelli-inspired flamboyance was key.



07. Liam Gallagher of Oasis

Liam Gallagher is nothing but a frontman. His own songs are awful and his personality vacuous but when Liam Gallagher takes the stage something very silly and slightly magical happens. Forget his voice for a moment (which even the harshest critic couldn't deny is powerful and distinctive) when the man stands motionless on stage with a tambourine in his mouth, scowling at the audience you really can't take your eyes off him. You sort of hate him but you also kind of envy him. This is what a frontman is.



08. Bono of U2

Further proof that you don't need to like someone to recognise their talent as a frontman. Somehow, somehow, Bono has become even bigger than his band, meeting political leaders, making poverty history , editing The Independent for a day, saving the world. All the while he's managed to churn out the kind of atmospheric rock'n'roll that demands a theatrical frontman. He's even entered popular culture as a derisory term for an egotistical, overblown frontman. Johnny Borrell from Razorlight? He's a bit Bono isn't he.



09. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana

The classic doomed rock'n'roll frontman. Cobain was so punk rock that he killed himself because he didn't want to mislead fans into thinking he still found Nirvana fun. On top of that he wrote vicious, poetic lyrics and then screamed them unintelligibly over huge-sounding, pop-laced rock'n'roll. His legacy has ensured every year new waves of troubled young things rip their jeans and pick up a low slung guitar in his honour.



10. Joe Strummer of The Clash

Joe Strummer was a punk rocker with a heart a soul. While Johnny Rotten quickly became a cartoon anarchist, Strummer aimed for real revolution, showing his fans that rock'n'roll could be politically intellectual as well as nihilistically so. He also managed to inject blues, rockabilly, soul, folk and dub into The Clash's sound, all the while looking look Kenickie from Grease's cooler little brother.

Wonder-Wail For Some Oasis Fans

Hundreds of Oasis fans were left disappointed after 3,400 tickets to see the rock giants at Bridlington Spa were snapped up within minutes.

Tickets for the August 20 concert sold out almost instantly over the internet yesterday, with sales hotlines jammed throughout the morning.

Dozens of fans camped outside the venue on Tuesday night in a bid to get hold of tickets for next month's gig when they went on sale at the box office at 10am.

First in the queue were sisters Lauren, 21, and 19-year-old Abbie Jamieson, of Westgate, Bridlington, who settled in their spot outside the Spa main entrance at 3pm on Tuesday.

Lauren said: "It's definitely worth it. The atmosphere will be great as it's such a small venue for Oasis. I just can't wait"

Their friend Charlotte Taylor, 21 of Flamborough, also camped overnight and said the atmosphere in the queue was fantastic.

She said: "A lad had a guitar and there were lots of sing-alongs – all Oasis songs obviously!"

But many fans were left empty-handed when the Spa began turning away fans shortly after 11am, despite them queuing for hours.

Richard Smith, of Bridlington, joined the queue at 4am yesterday and was left "gutted" after being turned away empty-handed.

"I was about three metres away from the front when they started telling us they'd sold out. I was absolutely gutted. There were people pushing in all over the place, surely the Spa could've got some security or a ticket-slip system to deal with it," he said.

"They should've given everyone in the queue a numbered ticket or something so that they could hand it over when they got to the box office."
