Noel Gallagher's Six-Pack Dream

Noel Gallagher is worried about growing old and getting a flabby belly.

The legendary rocker wants a kick-ass six-pack after shooting his new video Dream On with a crew of bodybuilder actors.

The video, which was filmed in LA last December, sees Noel refereeing a boxing match between a man and his wife with pro bodybuilders in the crowd.

One of the actors on the shoot told us: “Noel was asking the bodybuilders for some top tips on getting into shape.

“He said he’s naturally slim and doesn’t want to cart around stomach flab as his wife Sara keeps in such good shape. I told him to eat more protein and do 200 sit-ups a day. He didn’t look very impressed with the sit-up idea.

“He said sit-ups are for posers and he just wanted to sit watching the TV with ‘one of those vibrating things on my belly like in the adverts’. I told him no way.’’

Meanwhile the High Flying Birds star, 44, admits he loves reminiscing about Oasis in the early 90s.

Noel said: “They were great times, and the things we did were incredible. I genuinely was in it for the music.

“Don’t get me wrong, the cash, the drugs and the girls and all that were f***ing brilliant.

“If I had to put it in order it would be cash, drugs, girls.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds Score Highest-Selling Vinyl Single Of Record Store Day 2012

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds scored the highest-selling vinyl single of this year's Record Store Day, which organisers have said is set to break all previous sales records.

The ex Oasis leader's new EP 'Songs From The Great White North' edged Arctic Monkeys' new track 'R U Mine?' into second and Sex Pistols' re-release of their classic 1977 track 'Anarchy In The UK' into third in the vinyl singles chart. A picture disc of David Bowie's 'Starman' and Bruce Springsteen's 'Rocky Ground' completed the top 5.

More than 300 artists offered up new vinyl releases to coincide with Saturday's (April 21) celebrations, with new material, cover versions, rare tracks and studio outtakes all released.

Initial feedback from stores has suggested Record Store Day 2012 has achieved bigger sales than any previous year. A detailed breakdown of sales is due to be calculated later this week.

Vinyl sales are reported to be up over 50 per cent compared with last year's figures, with some participating stores reporting sales increases of over 100 per cent compared to 2011.

Paul Weller Says He Would Feed Noel Gallagher's Cat

Paul Weller has fired back at pal Noel Gallagher after the former Oasis star said he wouldn’t want the Modfather to look after his home.

Weller, 53, said: “I go and feed his cat for him – it’s not a problem.

“He is confusing me with the ghost of my past – I’ve changed.” Noel, 44, has previously suggested that he wouldn’t trust his mate to water his plants.

“Can you imagine leaving the keys with Weller?” he joked. “You’d come back and the fridge would be gone. He drank the cat, sold the car and smashed the telly up.”

Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Fifty

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.

So..comrades.

Where were we? San Diego? Strange place. Nice place. Very hot. Not much else to say about it really. It was an in and out job. The gig was a bit . . . a bit . . . a bit . . . I'm searching for a word here and I can't find it . . . a bit meh? That's what you young people say innit? Not earth shattering. Not shit. Just dull. Now that could be due to the crowd seemingly being a visibly older crowd than what we're being used to dunno . . . any way I've said too much we should move on.

Before I forget though I must give a shout out to the girls with the "jesters of malice” sign. It does give me a little chuckle that gear . . . and the Dalai Lama who was in town but sadly never came to the show (miserable little Buddhist monkey man!!!!) . . . anyway ENOUGH!!!!!!

Over-nighted it to Phoenix, Arizona after that. Now that place is fucking HOT,HOT,HOT!!! 95°F . . . lovely. Gig was pretty much the same as the night before. Uneventful in the extreme . . . apart from one fucking guy who kept shouting out at the top of his voice . . . "YOU'VE MADE IT MAN . . . YOU'VE CRACKED AMERICA MAAAAN!!!!" A quick glance up at the smattering of empty seats in the balcony would suggest otherwise I thought . . . but thanks anyway MAAAAN!!!

Legged it double early the next a.m. back to L.A. Iree Nancy, the Mighty I and Bunny Dread are on holiday there see? Had a nice day off at the funfair yesterday. I won a Smurf (not a real one) for the Mighty I by smashing fuck out of some frogs on the head with a mallet (again not real one's).

You currently find me at LAX waiting to board a flight to one of my most favourite places . . . . . . .

LAS VEGAS!!!!!!

ONWARDS.

GD.

Metallica's Lars Ulrich: 'I'd Love To Drum In Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds'

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich has said that he would love to play in Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

The sticksman, whose band will be touring Europe this summer playing their 1991 self-titled album, commonly known as 'The Black Album', from start to finish, told NME that he would love to get behind the kit for the former Oasis man.

Asked if he would like to play as part of the High Flying Birds, Ulrich said: "I'm hard pressed to think of anyone I would rather drum with than Noel Gallagher. I have to say the fellow with the Clockwork Orange get up at the back is doing a stellar job, when I saw them in L.A in December it was fabulous. You know, if Noel and the other 37,000 drummers on this planet turn him down I'll certainly play with him."

Ulrich went on to say that although he wasn't sure Gallagher would take him seriously, he reckoned he'd do a solid job for the High Flying Birds. He added: "I'm certainly not sure he'd ever want to pick me, but I'd put together a pretty solid groove thing back there. I'd make the songs bounce to the best of my ability. Although I'm not sure he'd take me quite seriously."

The drummer also spoke about Mission To Lars, a new documentary film which follows Metallica fan Tom Spicer as he tries to meet Ulrich, who is his musical hero.

Noel Gallagher On US Festivals, Los Angeles And More

“People like to party outdoors,” Noel Gallagher declares as he begins his interview with a Coachella videographer. “Americans have come relatively late to this thing… like the regular ones we have in Europe, people just like to get wasted outside, particularly in the rain and listen to music. I don’t think there’s anything more spiritual than that.”

Gallagher, front man of Noel Gallagher and The High Flying Birds, gives one of the most honest, insightful and funny interviews of his career just before taking the stage at the 2012 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, CA.

“The organizers will tell you that it’s a gathering of like-minded people and blah blah blah while they advertise more about phones to you… the bottom line is that people just want to get wasted and listen to rock ‘n roll in the rain, don’t they… I certainly do anyway,” he says with a laugh.

The 44-year-old musician talks to the unseen interviewer from the comfort of his oddly decorated trailer that he’s keen to make fun of. In a short twelve minutes, he covers the growth and importance of Coachella, the state of the music industry and lends some encouraging words to aspiring musicians.

“This festival has become bigger over the last ten years. When we first came here people were like, ‘You’re going where? To do what? Palm Springs?’ Now it’s a big deal in England. It’s like it gets reported in the national press… so, it’s grown. Probably one of the only festivals that has grown.”

Gallagher provides some straightforward talk about being in a band versus his new solo career. “Our band [Oasis] was quite volatile and you never really knew if you were actually going to play that night because other people in the group might have a whim and decide they’re not going to do the gig. But I can assure you the gig’s gonna happen here tonight.”

The singer’s dry British sense of humor is in full swing when he discusses how the music industry has changed fundamentally for the worse. “The rules of the game have changed. Albums are made by committee and focus groups. The consumer has become all more powerful now… the consumer is king. So, the consumer gets what he wants. But as I understand it, the consumer didn’t want f**king Jimi Hendrix, but they got him. And it changed the world. And the consumers didn’t want Sgt. Peppers, but they got it… and they didn’t want the Sex Pistols but they got it. And now there’s an attitude in the music business that like ‘well, let’s keep the consumer happy because that’s what makes the music business go ’round.’ And who suffers is the artist, not me. We’ve been in it for a while. But new artists have to put up with all sorts of nonsense.”

“It’s like, the young, it’s their fault. They invented the f**king internet. It’s their fault. F**k ‘em, that’s what I say.”

Gallagher pokes fun at himself, declaring he’s spending more time in Los Angeles because “That’s where aging rockers usually end up. And, I like it. The reception for the record has not been great I have to say, but then nothing ever was that great after Morning Glory, but I don’t worry about it. As long as I get the chance to play here, and they clap in between the songs, which is essential, then that’ll do me.”

Noel Gallagher will listen to the crowd clap between his songs once again this Saturday night at Coachella. Watch his set webcast live via YouTube. Check Coachella.com Saturday afternoon for details.
