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

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

Comrades.

The gig in Doozle-dorf was not the best. Not for me anyway. I must tell you I've got glandular fever and have been suffering with it for nearly a month now. Been feeling my age recently.

Good job I've only got 5 weeks left and not 5 months eh? Did not feel up for it that night in Doodle-dorf anyway. My old voice is a little shot and if I'm being honest it is well past this tour’s bedtime (so to speak). Still, we soldier on and like I say only 5 long weeks left.

SAYING THAT . . . a couple of gigs in my spiritual home of Italy is enough to perk anybody up and true to form the gigs in Florence and Bologna had enough healing properties to raise the dead, let alone give a tired man a lift!! They were unbelievable nights. 2 of the very best.

What is it with you Italians? Why do you seem to "get it" more than anyone else? It's a constant source of fascination for me. On the other hand it also means one spends most of the time trapped in hotels as you can't leave for fear of being kidnapped or trampled to death or kissed to within an inch of your life (these are not complaints . . . just observations!). These people sing their own versions of songs in between the songs they've paid to see you sing!! They sang for Mancini! They sang for Balotelli! They sang very nearly every Oasis song imaginable! The girls flashed there upper regions! They laughed and then they cried and then they surrounded the hotel thus ensuring that there could be no conceivable way to enter it without all the aforementioned things taking place again!

ITALY? WHY ALWAYS YOU??

ONWARDS.

GD.

PS: I'm back in Germany again (who's routing this fucking tour)!

Bonehead: 'Oasis' 'Be Here Now' Isn't Shit'

Guitarist says Noel Gallagher's comments that the album 'shat' on the legacy of 'Morning Glory' are wrong.

Former Oasis guitarist Bonehead says Noel Gallagher is wrong about 'Be Here Now'.

Noel recently said he wants to take a break from music next year to avoid making another album like 'Be Here Now'.

When asked about the comments, former Oasis rhythm guitarist Bonehead told NME: "I can’t speak for him but I don’t honestly think it was shit, because it wasn’t."

He added: "It wasn't on a par with 'Definitely Maybe' but I certainly wouldn’t say it was shit. If 'Be Here Now' was the latest debut album, it would get rave reviews. But if you’re following on the back of 'Definitely Maybe' then it's hard to follow isn't it? The press jumped in and slated it because it was the difficult one after 'Definitely Maybe' and 'What's The Story…' Maybe Noel’s just saying that to cover his back but I certainly don’t think it’s a shit album."

Oasis' third album is widely considered to be one of their worst with Noel Gallagher himself describing it as "the sound of a bunch of guys, on coke, in the studio, not giving a fuck. All the songs are really long and all the lyrics are shit and for every millisecond Liam is not saying a word, there's a fucking guitar riff in there in a Wayne's World stylie."

Bonehead, aka Paul Arthurs, played rhythm guitar in Oasis from 1991 to 1999. He left during the recording of the band's fourth album 'Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants' stating that he wanted to spend more time with his family. He was replaced in the band by Gem Archer, who now plays with Liam Gallagher in Beady Eye.

He is currently working on an album with his new band Parlour Flames, which is set for release in February of next year.

Noel Gallagher On His Brother Liam, Drugs And More

Noel Gallagher opens up to Gay Byrne about his brother, his estranged father, and his drug years on an episode of The Meaning of Life this Sunday night.

The former Oasis front man who is now enjoying success with his new band High Flying Birds, tells Byrne about the things he believes in, the things he doesn't and the thoughts that make him forget his own lyrics on stage.

In the hour-long interview which took place in Dublin's Merrion Hotel last July, Noel talks about his upbringing in inner-city Manchester and the night his Mayo-born mother Peggy took Noel and his brothers Liam and Paul and fled their father Tommy.

Gallagher insists that when he was growing up in Burnage, there was nothing unusual about coming from a broken family. But his childhood still left him and Paul with stammers, which needed correction through speech therapy.

He also recounts how he played truant for months from a school where his mum was a dinner lady, by sneaking in at lunchtimes and then sneaking out again.

On matters of faith, Noel says that, like most Irish mothers, Peggy raised the boys as regular Sunday mass-going Catholics, until he was a teenager, when his Mum stopped making them go. He also reveals that his wife Sarah is a regular church-goer and he says that he is envious of her faith.

Byrne and Gallagher have met several times already, the first time in 1995 when Oasis played Slane Castle in support of headliners, R.E.M. Peggy told Noel that if he only did one interview in Ireland, it should be with Gay on The Late, Late Show.

Seventeen years later, it was apparently Peggy who once again persuaded her son to record an interview with Gay for The Meaning Of Life.

"I have never met Peggy but she seems to hold me in high esteem," Byrne told the Irish Independent last July. "When Noel came on The Late Late Show in 1995, it was on Peggy's orders, and I'm sure she had some hand in him doing this recent interview."

Gay talks to Noel on The Meaning of Life this Sunday night at 10.30pm on RTÉ One (IRELAND ONLY)

Diehard Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher is concerned that son Donovan won’t support his beloved Man City.

The rocker is worried his five-year-old will turn his back on his team now he’s started school in north London. The 45-year-old, said: “It’s my lad’s first day at primary school.

“He’s got his uniform, his bag and it was like awww, that’s it now.

“He’s going to have his mates and come home and say he wants to support Tottenham Hotspur.

“And I’ll have to throttle him and throw him in the canal.”
