Jay- Z Drops Oasis-Taunting “Jockin’ Jay-Z” From His New Album

Jay-Z has dropped two tracks that were originally destined for his new album Blueprint 3, the Oasis-taunting “Jockin’ Jay-Z” and Santigold-sampling “Brooklyn Go Hard,” won’t be making the album’s final track list.

Speaking recently to Radio 1's Zane Lowe about his much talked-about headline performance at the 2008 Glastonbury festival was all about breaking down barriers.

His performance caused a media storm after Noel Gallagher said it was "wrong" to have a hip hop headliner.

Jay-Z opened his set with a cover of the Oasis' Wonderwall and playing along with a guitar.

He told Zane: "I felt like breaking down the barriers. There's a few people that wanted to see the concert and everything in its traditional form but that's not the way of the world.

"It felt like once I got to the people, they were excited. I had to be good. I was so focused on that. Just to really perform and put it out there."

Speaking of his surprising stint on the guitar, he said: "I was actually backstage trying to get that little piece together 10 minutes before the show.

"I should've practiced. I wanted to at least act like the chords were right."

Jay-Z said that he's still a huge fan of Wonderwall.

"We always play it," he said. "I have a restaurant called the Spotted Pig. We have this small room, it's like a back room, about 100 people can fit in there and we play it all the time and we just go crazy."

Oasis Roundhouse Statement

Oasis are taking legal advice from top city law firm Carter Ruck after a story appeared today in a number of online publications, including The Guardian Online falsely claiming that Liam Gallagher "stormed out of" an Oasis gig at the Roundhouse in London last night.

A spokesperson commented, "The story that Liam left the gig is totally untrue. Liam put on one of the performances of his life last night, leaving the stage only for a few minutes during songs sung by his brother Noel as is always the case. The whole show was captured on film by ITV so fans will soon see the truth of this. It is very difficult to understand why supposedly respectable publications would publish such malicious and damaging claims."

Oasis recently voluntarily refunded over 20,000 ticket holders when their Heaton Park, Manchester concert was delayed by 40 minutes due to power problems, despite the band going on to play a full two hour set.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Taken from Noel's tour diary for oasisinet.com

Well that gig at The Roundhouse was..erm..very odd. What'siz'name exploded with pretend rage the minute he walked on. Strange cat. Probably on his man period. Saying that, it was a full moon'n'all. Didn't notice him getting any more hairy though. Mind you, those that were there seemed to enjoy it, so..y'know, onwards and sideways.

Didn't stick around after the gig. Just couldn't be arsed. Too many squares for my liking.

Just on the way to Heathrow. Off to Japan / South Korea for a week. My phone doesn't work out there so there'll be a break in transmission. Will spill any relevant beans when I get back.

In a bit.

GD.

Raging Liam Gallagher Hits Out At Fan During Oasis' London Show

Liam Gallagher was involved in a fracas with an audience member throughout Oasis' gig at London's Roundhouse last night (July 21), after an object was apparently thrown.

The singer took offence almost immediately as they took the stage at the iTunes Live festival, as it appeared something was thrown at him.

Though not clear whether he was struck or not, Liam later made reference to both a coin and drink being aimed at him.

The incident put the singer in a angry mood for most of the gig, and he appeared to single out the fan who allegedly threw the object, labelling him a "fucking uni boy" and "fat boy" during the show.

Before opening song 'Rock 'N' Roll Star', Gallagher said: "Is that some fucking shitbag who's throwing fucking lager, can't handle a soft arse from fucking Camden town? Well get on this, fucking student…"

Later on in the band's set, he offered to meet face-to-face with the audience member, saying: "Here you are, student, if you want me to [go] offstage, don't be throwing fucking pound coins. Why don't you try and come up here and fucking make me come off? Alright dickhead."

Gallagher also changed the lyrics of several Oasis songs to reference the incident.

'Lyla' included the line "For you to come and fuck me out my mind", while a line 'Cigarettes And Alcohol' was changed to "Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a knob when there's nothing worth working for?", while during 'My Big Mouth' Liam did not bother to sing the second verse or chorus as he moodily stalked the stage.

Before playing the latter song, Gallagher spoke about the fact the gig was free for iTunes Live competition winners, saying "Hope it's fucking moody for ya. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys on crack."

As is usual during Oasis gigs, the singer left the stage as to allow his brother Noel Gallagher to front several songs, including 'Half The World Away', before which the guitarist attempted to calm is brother down, declaring: "We'd like to do a slow number for you so we could all just calm down. Everybody just take a deep breath, pretend it's not happening."

Upon returning to his microphone, Liam Gallagher gestured to the crowd, mouthing the words "I'm number one" several times.

'Morning Glory' saw the singer move his attentions to Camden residents, asking "Is there anybody actually born and bred in Camden town here tonight? Prove it. Show us how fucking tight your jeans are. And your pointy shoes are. I'm fucking serious."

However, Gallagher's mood did improve towards the end of Oasis' 19-song set, with him joking that the band were about to play a new song before referencing the technical problems that have affected their recent gigs at London's Wembley Stadium, Benicassim festival and Manchester's Heaton Park.

"We're gonna do a new song now. It's called 'Power Failure' and it's amazing," he quipped as the band launched into their massive 1995 hit 'Wonderwall'.

Earlier in the evening, support band The Enemy had geed up the Roundhouse crowd, playing a slot that saw them showcase tracks from their two albums. Frontman Tom Clarke, wearing his traditional leather jacket, dedicated 'Be Somebody' to the audience, saying "Right, this next song is about you."

The band's early tracks 'Away From Here' and 'Had Enough' both drew impressive responses from the crowd, while a version of 'We'll Live And Die In These Towns' had many singing along at the frontman's request. Recent single 'No Time For Tears' saw Clarke thrash his guitar in a similar fashion to The Who's Pete Townshend's famed 'windmill' technique.

Before playing final song 'You're Not Alone', the singer paid tribute to Oasis, as well as the Camden audience. "I wanna thank Oasis for having us, and I wanna thank you for being a top audience," he said. "This is our last song, so if you know the words then sing along."

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere

Fuck! Forgot about you. Where were we?

That festival in Germany was pretty fuckin' mad. It was in an old disused coal mine. All the old machinery had been preserved and turned into a mad gothic industrial landscape. I imagine it's what the inside of Marilyn Manson's head looks like.

Gig was great. Kasabian were..actually, I didn't even see them, I was doing interviews.

Back in London now. Playing The Roundhouse tonight. Then off to Japan in the morning.

I'm fucked. Hope I'm not getting that swine flu.

In a bit.

Oasis At The Roundhouse

The iTunes Festival gig saw the Mancs return to form with Liam Gallagher getting lairy and Noel Gallagher trying to calm the moody frontman down

Mark Twain once said: "I have been through some terrible things in my life – some of which actually happened."

Oh, how it applied to Liam Gallagher last night. Whether he was arguing with an enemy in his head, or one in the crowd, only he knows.

The touch paper was lit before they’d even kicked off with Rock 'n' Roll Star, with Liam furious that a punter had thrown a beer in his general direction, sniping at the "soft lad" in the "pointy shoes" for his misdemeanor.

"Well, well, well," said Noel, once Liam had stormed off following Waiting For The Rapture. "I think someone is in a bad mood." The Masterplan punctured the tension.

There are few things more entertaining than watching someone else throw a hissy fit, and it made for compelling viewing. After all, this was classic Oasis: them smashing out the hits, Liam throwing a paddy. How delightfully retro.

"Is anyone here from Camden Town?" he sneered following Slide Away. " F***ing prove it," he added, before spitting into the crowd as the band launched into What’s The Story Morning Glory. Liam, it must be pointed out, lives in Hampstead.

There was something deliciously ironic about the whole affair: Liam wanted to give the impression he was reticent to play, yet gave punters exactly what they wanted. He couldn’t have been on better form: his vocals were note perfect - all spite and no strain – while the band were tight as ever.

"Why don’t you come here, posh bloke?" he sneered at his supposed nemesis, arms outstretched, adding for good measure : "F *** ing fat bloke."

By, fittingly, My Big Mouth, we had Liam sitting down by the drum kit in protest, refusing to go on, leaving Noel’s backing singing as the only vocal.

"We’ll let Liam take a deep breath," reasoned Noel.

As long as there is Liam there will always be fireworks. And who doesn’t enjoy watching those go off?

Liam Storms Off Stage After Beer Throwing At Gig

Oasis singer Liam Gallagher stormed off a London stage last night after pints of beer were thrown at him.

The volatile frontman went Awol at the Roundhouse in Camden, leaving brother Noel to take the microphone for almost half an hour instead.

A radio station broadcasting the gig had to apologise to listeners for Liam's bad language moments earlier.

Liam, 36, was apparently furious at the crowd for hurling their drinks towards the stage, blaming 'students' in 'stupid pointy shoes'.

After telling them, 'I hope you feel as uncomfortable as I feel', he stalked off - leaving Noel to step up and say: 'I think someone's in a bad mood.'

The younger Gallagher's absence left his 42-year-old brother to perform The Masterplan.

Liam, inset, eventually returned but spectators said the two Gallaghers, famed for their feuds, were staring daggers at each other for the rest of the performance.

Oasis were performing as part of July's iTunes Festival at the legendary venue in North London.

The band has a history of turbulence when on the road.

Liam turned up several days late for a US tour in 1996, claiming he was house-hunting with then girlfriend Patsy Kensit.

The group also cancelled a Paris gig in 2000 after another row.

And at several of this month's gigs, the pair have argued over Liam's demands that fans stop waving their arms and clapping along to songs.

Fearne Cotton And 'Legendary Oasis' Booed By Bloc Party At iTunes Live Gig

Bloc Party instigated a chorus of boos for Oasis and TV presenter Fearne Cotton during their set at the iTunes Live festival in London's Roundhouse last night (July 21).

The London-based outfit, who have been criticised by the Manchester band in the past, took aim at Oasis, who are set to follow them at the same venue tonight (22).

Frontman Kele Okereke triggered the booing after joking about Fearne Cotton, who had been doing TV links earlier in the gig, but had been heckled herself for mentioning the Gallagher's band.

"What was it that Fearne Cotton said?" Okereke mockingly asked the crowd. "Are we 'looking forward to the legendary Oasis?'"

Oasis Chief Says He Wouldn't Play Gig For Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo may be richer than God after being flogged by Manchester United to Real Madrid for 80million quid.

But Oasis chief Noel Gallagher reckons the winker still couldn't write a cheque big enough to get him and Liam to play a private gig in the Spanish capital.

On Monday Ronaldo told Bizarre he rated the Manc legends more highly than The Beatles.

He said he would love to invite the Gallaghers to see Madrid take on rivals Barcelona in La Liga at the Bernabeu stadium as his guests.

And he added: "Perhaps they could put on a little private concert in Madrid?"

Offer

I predicted the lads, whose hits include D'you Know What I Mean, would have none of it because of their devotion to Man City.

But when I grabbed Noel at his band's sell-out iTunes Festival gig at the Roundhouse in Camden, north London, last night, I was surprised to hear otherwise.

Mr Big told me: "There's only one Ronaldo! I always knew deep down inside him somewhere there was impeccable musical taste.

"I'll be taking up his offer of tickets for the Madrid versus Barcelona game. I'm not sure whether even he could afford us for a gig though!"

Noel also wasn't bothered about the Portuguese winger saying he was unapproachable because "artistic types are like that".

Flaunting his Scally roots, he said: "I'm from the artistic capital of the North."

Mr Big may be a fan, but Ronaldo is about as welcome as a bad smell in a spacesuit in Manchester, Liverpool and most of the rest of England.

His defection from United angered their loyal fans in Kent.

Passion

All rival supporters of the Old Trafford side loath him with a passion and England fans reckon he's a wee cheat after the 2006 World Cup.

But I reckon Ronaldo would find a safe haven round at Mr Big's house.

Give it two years and the megabucks owners of City will probably break the bank to buy him anyway.

Then he'll get his dream of a private gig with the Gallaghers.

Ronaldo Has A Pop At The Beatles But Loves Oasis

Hell will freeze over before former Man United star Cristiano Ronaldo wins a popularity contest in Liverpool.

But the Portuguese winker has further cemented his place in the Merseyside bad books by blaspheming The Beatles.

Ron, who this summer signed for Spanish giants Real Madrid, reckons OASIS are a far better band than the Fab Four.

He said: "Liverpool have The Beatles and Manchester have Oasis. I think we (Manchester) have the better band.

"I have all the Oasis albums but my favourite track by far is Champagne Supernova. It's an absolute classic.

"One thing I will miss about Manchester is Oasis.

"I will be honest, I didn't even know who they were when I first arrived in Manchester, but you can't live there long without knowing who they are.

"The lads in the dressing room loved them, especially the English boys.

"When I came to England I was into my techno, but I think Oasis are one of my favourite bands now."

Even the fact Oasis stars Liam and Noel Gallagher are Man City fans does not bother Ronaldo.

He said: "Nobody is perfect - and you have to say they do make quality music.

"I saw them around town a couple of times but never spoke to them. They didn't look that approachable but sometimes these artistic types are like that.

"I am sure they are very nice. I know they are touring at the moment but I have not been able to catch them.

"Perhaps I could invite them to a Madrid v Barcelona match and they could put on a little private concert in Madrid?

"I liked their accent - a real Manc accent."

I'm sure Noel and Liam would have something to say about that, which sounds like "Cook off, you winker".
