Who Will Win Battle For Oasis' Soul?

It was a smart move by the NME to beat those Christmas deadlines - and I really enjoyed this week's Oasis tribute issue.

No band has ever given such consistently great interviews, from Liam Gallagher's "madferit!" stream-of-consciousness to Noel's sharp wit and forthright opinions.

Reading the best of them from over the years is almost as entertaining as putting on their old records - more so if we're talking Be Here Now onwards.

The withering put downs of their rivals are great, even if they became harder to justify as, post-millennium, the bands they were berating were generally making much better records (it was much easier to badmouth Shed Seven and Menswear).

Still, my favourite was Liam's verdict on Bloc Party as "a band off University Challenge". He sneered: "You see them and you're just waiting for some geezer to start asking them questions."

It strikes you as amazing how it took them so long to split up, considering how many times the brothers used a certain word to describe each other.

It'll be fascinating to see what they do next - much more interesting than the prospect of another Oasis record (those promo interviews aside).

Everyone's expecting Noel to go solo and I expect he will when he feels the time's right. I suspect it will be collaborations and guest spots for the moment though while he gets his stuff together.

He's still a great songwriter, just one who hasn't written a great song for a while. It might do him a lot of good to write a song without imagining what an Oasis song should sound like or how Liam will sing it.

As for Liam, it's harder to call. He's a great singer and frontman and probably always will be. He could just sing Oasis songs for the rest of his career if he wanted. I'm sure he'll hang on to many of them.

The younger Gallagher seems in much more of a rush and it looks like he's taking his old bandmates Gem Archer and Andy Bell with him, but the key to their future as a new act is the quality of the songwriting.

I haven't heard anything particularly good written by any of those three in the latter Oasis albums (no, not even Songbird).

It's hardly an uncommon view, but to me it looks like Noel has got the brighter, more interesting future. But you never know. Who would have thought Ian Brown would have left John Squire behind like he has?

The only certainty is that there will be some entertaining utterances from both camps as it all plays out. You just have to hope the music does them justice - and that they don't feel the need to get back together just yet.

Alan McGee Has A Big Interest In Following Liam & Noel Gallagher In 2010

Excerpt from Alan McGee Interview on Zani.com

A new year is upon us and an atmosphere of optimism is certainly in the air. No surprise since 2009 was certainly a depressing year for many. While it may have been a year of economic disaster, with the recession weighing heavily on everyone’s minds, for many it was also a year of famine with regards to quality music, with the X-Factor 'refuse' still dominating the charts and the apparent demise of live music and raw new talent. Now, with a new year dawning, many look to a brighter future.

With this in mind ZANI caught up with Alan McGee to discuss what his plans are for the year, his perspective on nostalgia, technology, ZANI and the future for Britain’s music scene.

ZANI – Happy New Year Alan
Alan McGee – Happy New Year.

ZANI – So tell us about your new projects for 2010
Alan McGee- There is a lot. Let’s talk about Death Disco, Greasy Lips, Too Cool To Young, Svengali and ZANI.

ZANI – OK before we talk about that, how’s this year gone?
Alan McGee – I have developed a real interest in seeing live bands again, and a big interest in established bands, but if I was being incredibly honest, the only bands that I have interest is, the Gallagher’s and Glasvegas. Not being horrible about any other bands, I am just interested in what Noel is doing and what James Allen is doing, and see what Liam comes up with. But other then that, it is really about new bands. Because seeing Agile Beast, Violet May, on my club nights with Jamie Jam and Danny Watson, you hear so much new music, and the same goes with ZANI and Too Cool To Die.

All the kids-no not kids-all the musicians do send me new music and I do listen to it , but there is a filter to what bands I listen to because it vaguely has to come through somebody I vaguely know, either mates or some I respect. But there has to be a filter.

At the moment there seems to be a lot of demand for me to DJ at these new band nights, so I am seeing all the good new talent that is coming through. But Death Disco has always been like that, and Greasy Lips seems to be evolving.

Tom Meighan: " We Could Never Duplicate What Oasis Achieved"

........ While they stepped up their game in 2009, Kasabian also saw the demise of their friends – and idols – Oasis.

The mantle of best rock band in Britain seemed to pass on to them, but Tom isn’t content with the tag.

He explains: “It’s all very flattering and very nice people saying we’re stepping into Oasis’s shoes, but we could never duplicate what Oasis achieved.

“That will never happen – they were so massive and sold 40million records.

“Maybe if we’d been around in the 90s we’d have sold 10million albums but it’s different now.

“They were the biggest band since The Rolling Stones and were so f***ing big.

“We’re looking to have the same longevity and I hope I’ll be still around when I’m 40 – and bald and fat.”

Liam Gallagher Dug Deep For Christmas

While brother Noel might not have been top of his Christmas list, Liam Gallagher was feeling generous with his pals this year.

The Manc singer - at war with Noel since he quit Oasis in August - dished out expensive threads from his Pretty Green clothing range to Rifles frontman Joel Stoker and rising star Jersey Budd.

Joel got a black parka worth £245 while Jersey got a £425 black peacoat. I had my eye on one of those.

Liam must have forecast the chilly winter conditions.

Joel said: "Liam loves his parkas and so do I. It's great, a perfect fit."

Jersey added: "I couldn't believe it when I unwrapped it. It's brilliant."

A source said: "Liam's range has been selling like hot cakes but he is a huge Rifles fan and wanted to give the boys a nice gift."

Liam must want to keep on the right side of some people after all.

Noel Gallagher: Man City Fans Cannot Beat Mancini With Huge Stick

The Oasis front man is upset over the manner of Mark Hughes' sacking, but insists Mancini shouldn't be blamed.

Gallagher told TalkSport: “Only time will tell if this is a good appointment because we cannot beat Mancini with a huge stick because it’s not his fault, he might come in and be a wizard, but I think it’s the timing and the fact that this guy’s never managed in England, it’s insane.

“What football supporters don’t like is to be treated like mugs. I guess everybody would have said at the start of the season that Hughes aint going to be around much longer but when the owners of the club are coming out and saying, ‘no, he’s the man for us’ it’s not right.

“I guess we can learn some lessons from Liverpool on this. How Mark Hughes is out of a job and Rafa Benitez is in one is beyond me.”
