Beady Eye And Noel Gallagher Feature In The New Edition Of Q

The new edition of Q is on sale today and fearues an interview with Beady Eye, click here or here for details.

Ground control to Liam Gallagher. In his mission to be The Man the Beady Eye commander has pushed his band to the furthest frontier with their “cosmic” new album, BE. Explaining all to Q, he also opens up on his relationship with Noel and why his kids think he's an embarrassment. Speaking of Noel, he's inside the issue too – discussing his peace pact with Damon Albarn and why he’s trying to avoid calling Louis Walsh something unspeakable on prime-time TV.

Noel Gallagher Watches Temples In London

Noel Gallagher attended Temples' gig at London venue The Lexington last night (April 29), where he told NME that he'd been looking forward to seeing the trippy-sounding Kettering band for some time, but wishes it had been in a different venue than the small, cramped upstairs room of a pub.

"It's not really music that should be played in a pub," said Gallagher, who attended the show with Beady Eye member Gem Archer and former Oasis tour DJ Phil Smith. "It's cosmic space music – it should be played in an empty Death Star. Even an empty arena during soundcheck would be better. Imagine what they'd sound like with all the echo."

Gallagher was, however, gushing with praise for the young band, and spoke to them after the show. "I thought it was fucking great and I love them," he told NME. "When I was listening to it I was thinking about what the record's going to be, and the future of the galaxy depends on that record and the Jagwar Ma record. If those two records are right, then the imperial – what are they called, the imperial forces… those c*nts – will be defeated."

Asked if Temples and Jagwar Ma represent a newly psychedelic bent on his listening habits, Gallagher said: "I'm always listening to psychedelic music anyway, but it's a broad thing, it can go from Jimi Hendrix to The Bee Gees. It's not like reggae, do you know what I mean?"

Asked what he's currently working on, Gallagher, who is between tours and album projects, said: "I'm working on a building of love. I'm going to build it for everyone." Asked to elaborate on exactly what that meant, he said: "Don't be an idiot – just leave it like that."

Temples played:

'The Golden Throne'
'Colours To Life'
'Prisms'
'Sand Dance'
'Keep In The Dark'
'The Guesser'
'Shelter Song'
'Sun Structures'

Noel Gallagher Lays X Factor Rumours To Rest

Simon Cowell seems pretty desperate to get Noel Gallagher on the judging panel for The X Factor.

The music maestro, 53, has asked the rocker again, for what seems like the 20th time, to appear on the talent show alongside Sharon Osbourne, 60.

However, the High Flying Birds frontman, 45, is concerned he’ll lash out and upset long-standing judge and Simon’s best pal, Louis Walsh.

Noel admitted: “Yes I was asked to do it again.

“I think they think that because my tour’s fi nished I’m going to be bored, but I’m never going to be that bored. Sharon Osbourne gets £1.5million for it, I’ve heard. If she’s worth one and a half, what am I worth? Three? Three and three quarters?

“I’ve not got anything against the show, I just don’t want to be on the telly every Saturday night, f*ck that.

“You may be aware, I’ve got a slight case of Tourette’s syndrome and I would just end up saying to Louis Walsh: ‘Will you shut up, you c*nt!’”

Like most fans of the show, we’d love to see the Manc rock ‘n roller on the panel.

Even just for his comedy insults aimed at poor little Louis, 60.

This isn’t the first time gobby Gallagher has lashed out at the aging Irish music manager.

Noel previously told the world he thinks Louis is “mad as a box of frogs’’. He even went as far as saying sometimes, while watching the show, he has a sudden urge to strangle him.

He bizarrely mused: “That’s why they should bring it out in 3D, so you could literally lean into the television and just press on his throat a little bit.”

Noel admits he’s been approached numerous times by Cowell as “they need an Alpha Male” on board.

Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher has told Xfm fans can rule out a surprise appearance from the band at this year's Glastonbury - or any other for that matter.

"Never, ever doing that thing ever again," Liam proclaimed to Xfm's Danielle Perry, adding, "because it's a nightmare."

The frontman failed to ellaborate on why but did say he has got one festival in his sights.

"I want to go to India. I know someone who puts a festival on there who says its alright," he admitted. "Just want to go there anyway. Not to do a gig. Just to have a nosey."

"We've told the agent, that's his job. If he can do that he's in," bandmate Andy Bell added.

Beady Eye are preparing to release new album BE on June 10.

Song By Song Review Of Beady Eye's Album BE

Taken from the current issue of Q that features an interview with the band.

1. Flick of the Finger

A dramatically altered Beady: urgent Velvet Underground beat, blaring trumpets, fuzzy guitars and Liam proclaiming, "the future gets written today". The central riff's from a 2004 Liam/Gem demo called Velvet Building, because "it sounded like the Velvets, and it kept building."

2. Soul Love

The anti-Wonderwall, as Liam's loved-up strum is subjected to terrifying electronics from producer Dave Sitek.

Liam: The whole song fits with the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, with the baby going to the moon. We might have to just whack it on the internet - I'm up for getting arrested, or sued.

Soul Love was remodelled beneath a giant screen showing 2001: A Space Odyssey, Sitek says he didn't want to change its acoustic flavour

Sitek: But I thought, What if the guitar belonged to an astronaut who's never coming back? He's on the spaceship strumming, as his home planet get's smaller through the window. So he underlaid it with gently ominous atmospherics.

Sitek: I was certain the band would say, Cut this shit out, but Liam listens to it at full volume and says, Whoever tries to cut out that ending is a fucking copper.

3. Face the Crowd

A terrific, gamboling riff in an odd time signature.

Liam: Andy always comes up with the fucking bangers, which is weird.

Andy: It's about the bravado of being in a band. I'm pretty reserved, but when you're on stage you've got to own it.

4. Second Bite of the Apple

A bassline like Joe Jackson's It's Different For Girls amid more fab brass and un-Oasis guitar effects. "The word is up, if you're tough enough," yowls Liam, Scott Walker's The Old Man's Back Again (from Scott 4) was an in-studio inspiration.

5. Soon Come Tomorrow

"What kind of love burns holes in your heart?", wonders Liam, among worried acoustics, bewildering synths and a contrastingly hot way-wah guitar solo.

Andy: It's pretty personal, about something that happened to me and Shiarra.

6. Iz Rite

Liam: It's like The Beatles on ecstasy, like a George Harrison-y Hare Krishna thing. Gem wrote it - I'm not saying it's fucking girly or anything, but he's definitely in touch with his feminine side at the moment.

7. I'm Just Saying

Andy: My gift to the Morning Glory fans - us doing what we do very well.
Super catchy and, yes, Oasis-y, but with that value-added, future-now Sitek zing.

8. Don't Brother Me

Liam: It's about a brother, but I do have two - and they're both fucking idiots.

Step forward eldest brother Paul Gallagher. Another Liam acoustic strum, wich launches off into the deepest, darkest Sitekville on hypnotic synths and a sitar-y clang.

9. Shine A Light

Tremendous opening riff in the style of The Stooges circa 1969 propels this way-out-there rocker with added backwards guitar. The rhythm came from a jam over Captain Beefheart's Mirror Man. Not even remotely Dadrock.

10. Ballroom Figured

First recorded with full band, but when it came to Liam to overdub his voice, producer Sitek stripped it back to just acoustic guitar.

Gem: It sounded amazing, so we kept it like that. That's production too- taking everything off.

11. Start Anew

Another acoustic track with Liam's sweetest vocal ever.

Andy: Dave coaxed the Neil Young solo out of me, and it spins into an ending that doesn't quite resolve. We never push the epic button too hard.

Thanks to Mr. Sifter

Paolo Di Canio Learned English From Oasis

Paolo Di Canio has a karaoke machine and Liam Gallagher to thank for his English skills.

The Italian’s former team-mate Alan Stubbs has revealed how the Sunderland boss struggled with the language when he signed for Celtic in 1996.

But, within a year, he had mastered the lingo — after buying a karaoke machine and singing along to songs by Gallagher’s band Oasis among others.

Stubbs explained: “Paolo’s spoken English wasn’t great when he arrived at Celtic from AC Milan. It was broken and stilted and it used to frustrate him.

“Then he came in one day and said he had solved the problem — he’d bought a karaoke machine.

“He decided if he couldn’t speak English, he’d learn to sing it.
It must have helped because, by the time he left Celtic a year later, his English was excellent.

“Paolo loved his music, in particular Oasis and the Manic Street Preachers.

“He’d learn a song at home, then belt it out in the dressing room the next day — at the top of his voice. It was brilliant entertainment, especially when he’d forget the words.”

Liam Gallagher And The Stone Roses Fall Out

Liam Gallagher has fallen out with his idols The Stone Roses after an “ugly incident” between the two camps.

The Beady Eye singer has been the Manchester heroes’ No1 fan since Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni got back together last year.

But things took a turn for the worse after the former Oasis frontman overstayed his welcome during their tour then overstepped the mark by shooting his mouth off in their company.

A source close to both camps said: “It’s all gone a bit sour recently with Liam and The Roses. There was an ugly incident in Dubai when Liam said a few things that were totally out of order. It didn’t go down well at all.

“Ian, John and Reni are all low-profile lads and don’t subscribe to aggro of any sort.

“They were also getting a little bit p***ed off with him ballooning on the side of the stage every time they played a gig. He had to be escorted off at one show and put behind the mixing desk because he was making such a scene.

“He was then slung out of there for spilling beer on the desk.

“He was generally being a bit of a nob — and The Roses can’t be ar*ed with the panto-mime.”

Liam was ever-present during The Roses’ amazing shows last year.

He went to their first gig in 16 years when they played Parr Hall in Warrington. Beady Eye, who have a new album out soon, also supported Liam’s idols at Heaton Park in front of a huge home crowd last summer.

But, as is so often the case, it has all gone pear-shaped with a bit too much of the Liam cliché.

He has a cameo in The Roses’ documentary Shane Meadows is releasing this summer — which the band might have regrets about now. Or is it all just part of a timely masterplan to promote new Beady Eye single Flick Of The Finger?

Noel Gallagher: 'I Can See Luis Suarez At Manchester City'

Andy and Jason were joined by rock 'n' roll legend and ardent Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher on Thursday night's show to discuss all the latest footballing news.

Gallagher said the ten-game suspension given to Liverpool striker Luis Suarez for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic was 'harsh' and claimed the Anfield club are likely to sell the Uruguayan if they receive a bid big in the summer.

And Gallagher reckons Man City could make a move for Suarez, saying: "I think if you put £40m down, Liverpool would have to sell him. I could see him at Chelsea and I could see him at Man City."

Jagwar Ma Say Noel Gallagher Was Their Hero Growing Up

Aussie duo Jagwar Ma have responded to Noel Gallagher's claim that he's too busy talking about them and London psych rockers Temples to reform Oasis.

Speaking to NME previously after his Teenage Cancer Trust show last month, in which he united with Damon Albarn for a duet of Blur's 'Tender', Gallagher said whenever he meets his former Oasis bandmates, a reformation is never mentioned because "we're too busy talking about fucking Temples and Jagwar Ma".

Responding to Gallagher's big-up in this week's NME, which is on newsstands now or available digitally, Jagwar Ma's Gabriel Winterfield said: "That's ridiculous. Noel was my hero growing up.

"I'm starting to get a little bit freaked out by people knowing who I am."

Yesterday, Jagwar Ma announced details of their debut album, 'Howlin''. The duo – made up of Winterfield and Jono Ma– will release the LP on June 10, following their appearance at next month's The Great Escape festival in Brighton. Scroll down to listen to their new single 'Man I Need'.

Noel Gallagher On David Beckham Playing For England Again

David Beckham won’t be blagging Noel Gallagher some free England tickets any time soon.
Noel reckons Becks is over the hill – at least in terms of international football.

He said: “Even if we don’t get to the World Cup – it’s still best to get some young lads in now.

“You might as well go and ask Alan Shearer to play – you’ve got to move forward at some point.

“He’s not been picked for England because for the last few years he’s been on the wane.”

Liam Gallagher Wants £30million For An Oasis Reunion

Liam Gallagher is open to an Oasis reunion.

But it would take a Manchester City-size transfer fee to secure the deal.

The singer is currently on the promo trail with Beady Eye for new album BE.

Asked about making up with and performing alongside brother Noel, he said: “Listen, it’ll happen when it happens, but it ain’t a f***ing game — it’s the real deal.

“I read a lot of people going, ‘Oh, it’s just a blag, innit? So they can get some more noughts on their big f***ing comeback.’

“But I’m still me and he’s gonna be him.

“I ain’t changing for a million f***ing pounds... I might do it for £30million.”

Liam’s clearly exaggerating the final fee but the band would definitely make some serious cash if they returned to the stage.

It’s unlikely any reunion will happen for a few years given the success of Noel’s solo career and Liam having a new Beady Eye album to promote.

He’s ditched his parka jacket on the cover of the new issue of Q out on Tuesday next week, as a sign that the band have changed their sound for the second album.

He told the mag: “People didn’t like the first one. So we couldn’t do that again.

Jumpin’ Jack Flash and Lennon gear — that’s my thing. I could do that all day long but people don’t want that, so we had to do summat.”

That “summat” included drafting in producer Dave Sitek, who had the band watching 2001: A Space Odyssey in the studio. Liam says he’s put in serious effort on the new record, admitting he cares so much about music that it could one day kill him.

He said: “I won’t die of a drug overdose or a f***ing drinking habit.

“I’ll die of living and breathing and being in a band.

“It won’t be over snorting a line off someone’s head or drinking a daft drink. It’ll be because I’m into it too much. I’ll die of caring too much.”

According to Q, Sitek also had the band burning sage leaves before recording to “ward off evil spirits”.

Liam’s facial expression would have been a sight when that came up.
Like the face made when catching a whiff of what a bear might leave in the woods.
