Miley Cyrus Is Mad Fer It

Miley Cyrus is using Oasis as the inspiration for her world tour.

The singer/actress is currently on the South American leg of her Gypsy Heart World Tour but is taking a little piece of Oasis with her.

“I saw Oasis live a while back and I really loved how they kept asking for requests to keep the audience involved,” explains Miley.

“If you want to see someone just dance around you can watch it on DVD but I want this to be about everyone including the audience so I am trying to do something very similar because I know that’s what I would want to see.”

Kelly Jones Added To Japan Benefit Line-Up

Kelly Jones has been added to the bill of the Japan Disaster Benefit show taking place this weekend at Brixton Academy. The Stereophonics frontman will be playing an acoustic set and joins Richard Ashcroft, Beady Eye, The Coral, Graham Coxon, Primal Scream and Paul Weller for what is sure to be a legendary night.

XFM Radio have also confirmed they will be recording the show for a live broadcast on the evening featuring live performances and interviews.

The show was been hastily arranged to help benefit those who have been affected by the recent earthquakes and subsequent tsunami in Japan. It was announced on Tuesday 22nd March, and tickets went on sale for this very special one-off event at 9am on Friday 25th March and sold out within minutes. Doors will open at 5.30pm on Sunday.

Beady Eye’s Liam Gallagher said “We’ve always had close ties with Japan and great affection for our fans out there. We’ve been saddened by the horrific TV images of the disaster. Our hope is that this benefit concert can help the people of Japan.”

“We’re glad to be able to support such a great cause and help the people of Japan in any way we can.” - The Coral

A statement from Primal Scream reads; “We are humbled to play the Japan Disaster Benefit and help in contributing to the relief efforts and as Mani is unable to attend due to prior family commitments, are pleased to announce we will be joined for one night only by Sex Pistols legend Glen Matlock.”

"I really wanted to do something to show solidarity and sympathy with the Japanese people. Japan is a place I've been to many times in the last 30 years. I've made many friends there and have been treated very well. They are a kind race of people. My heart goes out to them. The lineup is great for the show and it’s gonna be a brilliant night." - Paul Weller

Noel Gallagher Demands Hotel Room Move To Avoid Russell Brand Billboard

British rocker Noel Gallagher demanded to move hotel rooms during a recent stay in Los Angeles - because he refused to have a suite overlooking a giant billboard of his pal Russell Brand.

The funnyman is currently on the promotional trail for his new movie Arthur, in which he appears opposite Dame Helen Mirren.

The former Oasis star Gallagher was left fuming when he settled into a hotel room, only to realise he would have to look out at his friend's face on a poster for the film.

Brand tells Britain's The Sun, "Noel's in L.A. at the moment and outside his hotel window he said all he can see is a great big billboard for Arthur.

"He said they showed him the room and the bloke asked, 'Is there anything you'd like to change, sir?' He said, 'Yeah. That f***ing poster. I want another room', so they moved him."

On This Day In Oasis History...

On March 30th 2000, Liam Gallagher was interviewed by Carson Daly in New York for MTV's Total Request Live.

Liam Gallagher Insulted By People Siding With Noel

Liam Gallagher is insulted people think his brother Noel Gallagher was "carrying" Oasis.

The singer formed Beady Eye with the remaining members of the 'Lyla' rockers - Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock - when Noel quit the band in August 2009, and admits he was surprised so many people wrote off his chances of musical success without his older sibling.

He said: "I'm insulted that people think Noel Gallagher has been f***ing carrying this band for the last 18 years.

"People were saying [about Beady Eye], 'Oh it's going to be f***ing s**t.' It's like, are you tripping or what?"

The 'Bring the Light' singer is upset some critics and music fans have seemingly chosen sides since the brothers combusted, and he thinks people should give them both a chance on their own.

He added: "The Noel versus Liam thing, I'm a bit saddened by it, that some people feel like they need to pick sides. Like, I wouldn't go and see The Stone Roses and be like, 'I hate John Squire but I'm into Ian Brown,' or whatever."

Charity Japan Gig Promoters Criticise Ticket Resale

Promoters for a charity gig set up to raise money for victims of the Japanese tsunami have criticised websites for allowing people to re-sell tickets for profit.

SJM, who are organising the show with the British Red Cross, have branded the sites "highly distasteful".

The gig at London's Brixton Academy features Beady Eye and Primal Scream.

They said: "We strongly disapprove of profiteering from the misery and suffering of the people in Japan."

Tickets for the show taking place on Sunday 3 April are being sold for over double their original value after they went on sale last Friday (25 March).

'Very disappointing'

Primal Scream, Blur's Graham Coxon, Richard Ashcroft, Paul Weller and The Coral will play alongside Liam Gallagher's new band.

SJM said they had asked companies involved in the secondary/reselling ticket market to "delist the event".

"It is very disappointing that one secondary reseller and eBay continue to offer these charity fundraiser tickets," it added.

Liam Gallagher Blames Poor Vocals On Brother Noel

Liam Gallagher has conceded his singing during Oasis' doomed final tour was dreadful, and he blames his poor performances on the earphones he wore to drown out brother Noel's loud guitar.

The Beady Eye frontman attracted swathes of criticism for his half-hearted vocals towards the end of his former band's career as he often shouted his lines or cut them short.

Gallagher has now admitted his singing in recent years has been "s**t" but he's adamant Noel is responsible because he turned his guitar up too loud, forcing the frontman to use noise-reducing earphones onstage.

Gallagher tells Nme, "I've been getting a right kicking! I didn't know I sounded that s**t, but I'm gonna explain this now, right? I was using them in-ear monitors, and that isolated me from the band. I had to, cos our kid (Noel) was, like, up to 900 (on the guitar amps), so f**king loud."

Liam Gallagher Wants Beady Eye To Be Bigger Than The Beatles

Liam Gallagher has said he wants his new band Beady Eye to be more successful than The Beatles.

The singer once claimed he wanted to be more famous than Oasis but now he's told NME that he's setting his sights higher.

'I want to be as a big as The Beatles. F*** being as big as Oasis, man, you know what I mean?'

But the star wasn't getting too cocky - he admitted that it probably wouldn't happen.

'I want to be bigger than The Beatles. That's what we're dealing with and whether we do or not - and we probably won't - but who cares?

'It's just the f***ing name of the game. Yes, we want to sell a s**tload of records, play stadiums and inspire s**tloads of kids over the f***king universe. Deep down that's what I wanna do...but not just yet.'

Gallagher also used the interview to mouth off against The Strokes and Elbow.

Liam rubbished The Strokes' frontman Julian Casablancas for acting like it was a 'chore' for him to be in the band.

He also attacked Elbow saying they had a 's**t name for a band'.

'That's like calling yourself The Chins or The Knees or something!'

Beady Eye Support 'Old Friends' In Japan

Beady Eye organised a charity concert for earthquake victims in Japan because they have ''old friends'' in the country.

The 'Bring The Light' band decided to organise the event in London - which will include performances from Primal Scream, Paul Weller and Richard Ashcroft - because they have always been treated with respect in Japan both as members of Oasis and with their latest group.

Speaking ahead of another charity show, for Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall, last Friday (25.03.11), guitarist Gem Archer said: "There's a real long relationship. I mean, some of these Japanese fans are old friends now, let alone the people in the record companies and whoever else we've met. So then this idea came up of, 'Why don't we just get something together and then give all the money to the Red Cross'. "

The musician added he is pleased with the reception to Beady Eye - which is comprised of all the members of Oasis minus Noel Gallagher - in Japan, with their debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' being a hit and a tour selling out weeks in advance.

He told Absolute Radio DJ Ben Jones: "We are meant to be going, I think, in about three weeks, four weeks, and those shows all sold out in the blink of an eye.

"It's a small club tour, but they were like bang on it, and they stuck our album at number one."

The earthquake charity concert will take place at London's 02 Academy in Brixton on April 3 with all proceeds going to the British Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal.

Highlights from the week long shows for Teenage Cancer Trust can be heard on Absolute Radio in the UK.
