Foo Fighters Will Agree To Glastonbury If Oasis Reform

Foo Fighters have said they'd agree to headline Glastonbury if Oasis reformed to also play the festival.

Dave Grohl revealed that the group haven't yet been asked to top the bill, but would say yes if Liam and Noel Gallagher played, and Prince agreed to be the third headline act.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 he explained: "If Prince does it, and Oasis does it, you've got the Foo Fighters, how about that?"

The singer says he hasn't spoken to organiser Michael Eavis or his daughter Emily about headlining, but is interested as Foo Fighters haven't played Glastonbury since 1998.

"He hasn't called me. I mean, I don't want to give out my phone number on air, but I like playing shows! I've been to that festival before. It's pretty fun. We'll see what happens. We'll get a conference call happening, we can work this out. Imagine Prince and Oasis on the telephone, that would be amazing."

As a huge fan of Oasis, Dave has toured with the brothers and spent time with them away from the stage, and is sure the sparring brothers could put their differences aside for the festival.

"In America Oasis sort of crept up on us, and it was one of the first times that an English band became massively enormous in a really long time. We ended up seeing them and playing shows with them and I got to know them a little bit. I love them as people, they're the sweetest people in the world. I know they have this sort of reputation of being brash and nasty, but I don't think they are. I've watched them live and there are not that many bands that can just stand there motionless and make 100,000 people go bananas, and that comes down to the songs. When your songs are that good, you've got something good going on. I miss them.

"If Taylor Hawkins and I can be in a band together, I'm sure that they can be in a band together too."

Roger Daltrey Believes Oasis Will Reform

Roger Daltrey is convinced that Oasis will reunite, because they have nothing better to do with their time.

The Who frontman performed alongside 'Wonderwall' rocker Liam Gallagher on Tuesday (11.11.14) and admitted that he is convinced that the band will get back together at some point in the future.

Talking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: ''I've got no doubt Oasis will reform. I've never had any doubts.''

The 70-year-old singer - who will embark on a final UK tour with his bandmate Pete Townshend later this month - continued, saying that the 42-year-old musician has nothing else to do apart from get back together with his brother Noel Gallagher, and the other Oasis members.

He said: ''I just know groups, in the end they'll start to think, 'why not?' It's what they do! What else is he going to do, become a painter decorator?''

However, Roger shut down suggestions that he would record an album with him, like he did with Dr Feelgood star Wilko Johnson earlier this year.

When asked whether a collaborative record could be on the cards, he replied: ''No, no no no. That was a one-off success story.''

Liam and Roger both performed at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on Tuesday (11.11.14) in a concert which celebrated the 50-year career of the 'My Generation' rockers, to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust, which Roger is a patron of.

He gushed: ''That was a great night. Really, really good fun. It was just wonderful.''

Talking at 'The Who in Virtual Reality' event at The Goldhawk Club in Shepherds Bush, London on Wednesday (12.11.14), Daltrey confessed that, despite the band's huge Mod following, he'd never sat on a scooter in his entire life.

As he climbed on to a scooter which was being used to sit for guests to try out the virtual reality headset, he said: ''I've never even been on a scooter! One of the things is that everybody thinks Ace Faces used to have just a scooter, all of the serious Ace Faces, all of the good looking ones, they used to have mini-vans. Use your imagination! No really, that's true!''

Noel Gallagher Used To Give Brother Liam Money So He Could Practice Guitar Alone

Speaking at XFM's An Evening In Conversation With Noel Gallagher last week, Noel said he used to give Liam £5 to go away.

Chatting about forming the band to XFM's John Kennedy, Noel said: "We used to share a room, he used to sit and watch me play acoustic guitar. Not once did he join in."

"The was no inkling, not even a twinkling in the eye or a clearing of the throat. To get rid of him I'd have to lend him a fiver. I'd sit there playing the guitar, i'd say 'Have you go nothing better to do?' He'd say 'Lend us a fiver and I'll go out.' It carried on like that for the next twenty years!"

Noel Gallagher's new album, Chasing Yesterday, comes out early next year.

Noel Gallagher Criticises Russell Brand And The Public's Unwillingness To Pay For Albums

Noel Gallagher has discussed Russell Brand's political views in a new video interview.

Speaking to Noisey, the former Oasis singer addresses Brand's recent assertions that a revolution is coming and that people should abstain from voting for current political parties.

"Well, I love Russell but he don't half talk out of his arse sometimes," Gallagher says in the clip. "His fine, muscular, pert arse. He does talk a load of shit. I couldn't see him overthrowing a table of drinks. Do you think he's going to put himself in charge? Hmm, I wonder."

He adds: "I was out with him the other night and he says it with a straight face. 'There is going to be a revolution.' And I'm like, 'Fucking hell, mate, give us a shout when you're going down The Mall with your pitchforks and that, I'll come and serenade you with my loot before we eat the Queen. He says, 'Come on mate, back us' and I'm like, 'If you make me the Duke Of Manchester then I'm in'."

Noel also criticises the general public's attitude to music in the modern age and how they are unwilling to pay for albums, comparing the lifespan of a record to that of an overpriced coffee.

"It infuriates me that people are more willing to sit in a coffee shop and spend a tenner on two coffees, talking about the weather with their friends, and that coffee will last 45 minutes, yet they will physically get angry at you for asking them to buy an album for a tenner that will last a lifetime and might tell you about yourself and might even change your life," he says. "It's a strange moment we're in where people are willing to spend money on shit."

Dave Grohl Says That Oasis Are The Greatest Rock Band Ever

Dave Grohl tells XFM's Danielle Perry how it's a "shame" that the Manchester band aren't together any more.

Speaking to XFM's Danielle Perry about the band's new album, Sonic Highways, Dave Grohl explained how he was a big fan of the Gallaghers… and that they should reconsider their split.

"The whole Oasis thing is a shame," he told Danielle. "We all love Oasis. We’ve played shows with them before, where I look at them and think 'That's the greatest rock band I've ever seen in my life'.

"To know that they’re out there somewhere but they won't come together to do the thing that everybody would love so much..."

Grohl went on: "They're fun. They have such a crazy reputation of being 'the Oasis guys', and then you see them at the bar and they show you pictures of their kids. And you’re like 'Wow, they're just normal dudes', y’know?"

Noel Gallagher recently announced his second album with his High Flying Birds, Chasing Yesterday, while last month Liam's Beady Eye revealed that they'd split up.
