Liam Gallagher Takes Supernanny's Advice

Liam Gallagher takes parenting advice from 'Supernanny' star Jo Frost.

The Beady Eye rocker - who has three children, Molly, 13, Lennon, 11, and 10-year-old Gene - and his wife Nicole Appleton met with the childcare expert when she appeared on Alan Carr's 'Chatty Man' show, and admitted they are big fans of her work.

Jo exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I was on the 'Alan Carr' show the other day and I met Liam Gallagher and his wife. They were pleasant, very very pleasant. They both said how they love the work that I do in reaching out and helping the public.

"At the end of the day, celebrity or no celebrity - you're a mum and a dad when you go home. You may be an inspiration in the artiste world but to your daughter and your son you're good old mum and dad."

Miles Kane On Touring With Beady Eye And Recording With Noel Gallagher

Taken from an interview with Miles Kane from Gigwise, read the full interview here.

When you’re supporting big acts like Arctic Monkeys and Beady Eye – does that help attract a wider fan base?

Yeah, I think when we did the tour with Beady Eye, six dates in the UK and two in Europe and that was around March time. I think after that my confidence has just been growing, I should thank the boys in the band as they’ve helped me grow so much live. I absolutely love what I do, playing those songs and I love rocking out on stage. When I don’t do it for a night I hate it, I’m just totally so happy at the moment and I just want to continue it. Carry on the steady build that we’re doing.

You worked with Noel Gallagher on the album – how was that?

Well I think that was the press blowing things out of the water. For me, we’d been hanging out for a bit and I was mixing in the final stages of the album and he came down to the studio for a hang out and a coffee. I was going in to do my vocals and he was like can you just write down the words for me? And then he just went in and did it, which was ****ing great. So unreal, me sat at the control desk and I’m telling Noel what to do, just a nice afternoon. That story then got completely changed and people made out like he was all over the album, which wasn’t the case.

Fans Love Noel Gallagher's Debut Solo Single

Fans have reacted in an enormously positive manner to Noel Gallagher's debut single 'The Death Of You And Me', which you can hear by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking.

The track, which is the first to be revealed from the former Oasis guitarist's debut solo album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', was debuted this morning and has had fans heaping praise on it ever since.

NME.com user Ahmed Salem loved it, saying he believed that Noel had stolen all of brother Liam's thunder with Beady Eye, he wrote: "Better than Beady Eye's entire album. I wouldn't want to be Liam at the moment."

Tom Wells loved it too, he wrote: "The Chief has come back with what is arguably one of his best songs ever!" Chris Kinloch felt the same, he wrote: "Liam just had the smile blown off his face. Beady Eye is now revealed as being totally shit in comparison now. Welcome back Noel."

Will Whitby felt the same, he wrote: "I missed this sound so much! Pure perfection", while Alexandre Duvauchelle wrote on NME's Facebook page Facebook.com/nmemagazine: "Great song! I've been waiting for that for so much time and I'm not disappointed at all! Noel rules." Jade Wong did the same, simply writing: "Love it."

A few users compared the song to Oasis's 2005 single 'The Importance Of Being Idle', but didn't see this as a bad thing.

Jamie Baker wrote of this: "Sounds 'Importance of Being Idley'' which definitely isn't a bad thing as that's one of his best songs!" Jason Murphy agreed, he wrote: "Top notch. Very 'Importance Of Being Idle' if that makes sense. Love the sound and production. Looking forward to the album!"

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, 'The Death Of You And Me' Review

Whichever side of the great Noel / Liam schism you’re on (presuming, of course, you feel compelled to take sides), it’s pretty universally agreed the pair have always done things differently. In one corner, the “shitbag”-tweeting headline generator, who’s dissed his brother and former band from every conceivable angle and in the other, a more, shall we say, reserved sibling who said everything he needed to say in a short press conference and NME interview.

While Liam’s posturing is better documented than the downfall of Murdoch, Noel’s opted for a quieter, humbler, more down-to-earth approach, seeing himself as that guy playing guitar stage left, insisting there’ll be no new music until he’s finished changing nappies - that sort of thing.

So while Beady Eye blazed out of nowhere all bluster and ‘Bring The Light’, Chatty Man chinwags and Man City tie-ins, Noel announces his return through Absolute Radio early on a Monday morning, with a much slower and less in-your-face offering.

A trademark acoustic strum and soft flute flourishes herald in Noel’s falsetto and he’s in fine form, delivering Noel-esque couplets that bounce off each other with rhyming glee but turn somewhat dark as they progress: ”High time, summer in the city / Kids are looking pretty / But itsn’t a pity that the sunshiiine / Is full of black thunder / With thoughts of going under / And is it any wonder why the sea is calling out to me / I seem to spend my whole life / Running from people who will be / The death of you and me / Cos I can feel the storm clouds / Sucking up my soul”.

Gloomy. And it’s at this point we’re mugged by some properly demented strings - a short but psychedelic interlude complemented by several retro brass breakouts later on that gift the whole thing with a captivating sheen. If we were forced to tie it to his previous, ‘The Importance Of Being Idle’ springs to mind.

In the accompanying video we meet Noel at the Last Chance saloon, a subtle allusion to his fears this might not work perhaps, sitting near a gibbering weirdo. However this isn’t New Cross, rather somewhere in the Californian desert, and before long he’s pushing his waitress in the pool, some guy from Red Dead Redemption’s turned up with a marching band to take the waitress away and we’re left with the words “To Be Continued...”.

Noel, no need to worry, we’re hooked. Still think you should be called Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Angry Birds though. As for Liam’s reaction? We’ll have to wait and see.

First Review Of Noel Gallagher's Debut Single

Noel's solo material has been a closely guarded secret for a long time.

It is now only a week away from your ears and I can finally tell readers it is just what you've been wishing for.

The Death Of You And Me, out on August 28, is the first single from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - and it's seriously impressive stuff.

He's a big fan of Neil Young and Donovan - and Noel's first track is worthy of being mentioned beside those legends. It's nothing fancy or too intricate, just classic Noel songwriting - coupled with an unexpected brass section.

Who saw that twist coming?

Considering he smokes and drinks, his voice sounds more youthful than ever.

It is closer in style to more recent Oasis tracks such as The Importance Of Being Idle from Don't Believe The Truth and (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady on Dig Out Your Soul.

Lyrically, he's come up with more memorable lines and imagery about "storm clouds" soaking up his soul.

It is a pearler and could even attract fans who wouldn't brave the flying pints of p*** at Oasis gigs.

It has already been A-listed on Radio 2 four weeks before release - and that rarely happens. Xfm, 6 Music and Absolute are all thumping for it too.

The video is ace. Filmed in the desert outside LA, with a stunning blonde waitress he pushes into a pool.

The full video will be premiered on noelgallagher.com from 8.20am Monday. As he would say: "Get on it".

Noel Gallagher Don’t Look Back In... Tonga

Noel is not unfamiliar with The Royle Family - his classic track Half The World Away was the soundtrack to the hit show.

But the ex-Oasis star has been brushing shoulders with genuine blue blood - the king of Tonga.

Noel was staying in the plush W Hotel in Los Angeles while working on his debut solo album, High Flying Birds, with producer Dave Sardy.

Only two people were staying on his floor in the five-star gaff - him and King George Tupou V.

A source said: "Noel was baffled by men in suits with ear pieces keeping an eye on things along his corridor.

"It was only later in the trip that he realised what was going on when room service was taking so long to arrive.

"It turned out it was being checked out before arriving at his door. He was laughing with the lads in the studio about it being like a scene from Coming To America in the room next door."

It's just as well Noel was out there working. You wouldn't want to accidentally stumble into the wrong door and have a Tongan heavy jump on you after a night on the ale.

And Big George isn't to be messed with - he's a bright man with military training.

The king studied at both Cambridge and Oxford Universities. He also had a spell at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Surrey.

Tonga is made up of 176 islands in the South Pacific. The king should have offered Noel a week's holiday on one for an early listen to the new album.
