Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Rob Collins
Terry Christian
The Charlatans
An NME award that Noel Gallagher threw away is going under the hammer and has been valued at £5,000.
The Oasis legend picked up the New Musical Express ‘Oscar’ after its readers voted his band ‘The Musical Event of the Year’ in 1995/96.
But when he went to collect it he expressed his anger at the magazine’s editor for failing to acknowledge the death of Rob Collins, keyboard player with The Charlatans.
Collins was killed in a car accident in 1996 driving back from Rockfield Studios near Monmouth.
Noel made a ‘lest we forget those that have passed this year’ speech and said that the then editor of the NME was ‘...... disgrace’ for omitting to mention Collins.
He then dedicated the award to Collins before throwing it on the ground, causing the finger on the hand-shaped award to snap off.
Noel was later given the award back, but gave it away to the current owner, who was in the music industry at the time.
Now it will go under the hammer on February 25 at an event organised by Omega Auctions at its premises in Great Sankey, Warrington.
Another Oasis lot will include the original blackboard that features in the classroom cover of their classic B sides album The Masterplan.
he points out that unique markings on the wood, along with chalk markings and its size, ensure that this is definitely the same board that features in his photograph.
The vendor got this from a teacher who worked at the school in Woolwich where the cover shot was taken.
The iconic piece of Oasis history is valued at £1,000.
Also for sale is a pair of ‘as new’ promotional Dr Martens black boots produced for the band and staff working on the Be Here Now 97/98 tour. Size 10, they come in the original in Dr Martens box.
The band’s first ever demo cassette recorded in late 1991 and Jan 1992 with Noel’s handwriting on the labels, is also for sale.
It was given to Terry Christian personally by Noel in 1992 while he was having dinner in Don Giovanni’s in Manchester.
The cassette features early studio demos on one side and an early gig on the B side from The Boardwalk, and is priced at £1,000.

Noel Gallagher has said in an interview with German magazine Event that Oasis will release a documentary and a live album next year to celebrate 20 years since the legendary Knebworth shows that took place in 1996.
When questioned if a Oasis documentary was in the pipeline he said ""Oh yeah! Just because it'll be the 20th anniversary of our Knebworth concerts in 2016. And because we're a bunch a of nutters, we've completely forgotten that we had actually filmed the whole thing. With like 20 cameras and a lot of what happened on the festival ground as well. Like fans arriving, backstage sequences, interviews and flights over the area. Which we've never released. I've no idea why. But we decided that 2016 would be a good moment to do so, since Knebworth was the highlight of our career. We think that the 20th would make a good occasion to reflect on that, or to tell history of Oasis - and then leave it at that. So far there's going to be a documentary and a live album."
Thanks to asimarx for the translation.
Knebworth is a venue that has long been associated with the biggest acts in rock history; Queen, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones had all played there to vast audiences. Oasis saw themselves as part of this rock legacy and there were only few UK locations left that could handle the crowds that followed them. Oasis wanted to set a new benchmark for an open-air performance; they hired the biggest PA, the biggest video screens, and reportedly sold over 250,000 tickets for two consecutive performances.

Oasis
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 'Chasing Yesterday' 4/5
Opening with a minor chord strummed on an acoustic guitar somewhere off in the distance, Noel Gallagher's second solo album, Chasing Yesterday, echoes Oasis' second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? -- a conscious move from a rocker who's never minded trading in memories of the past.
He may be evoking his Brit-pop heyday -- "Lock All the Doors" surges with the cadences of "Morning Glory" even as it interpolates David Essex's "Rock On" -- but it amounts to no more than a wink because Gallagher knows he's two decades older and perhaps a little wiser as well.
Certainly, Chasing Yesterday is the work of a musician very comfortable with his craft. Like the first album from High Flying Birds -- a largely anonymous group of pros who make no attempt to steal the spotlight from their leader -- it moves deliberately, never rushing and rarely rocking, preferring to find pleasure in majesty instead of hedonism.
Where 2011's HFB kept things a shade too calm -- its reserve almost seemed like a rebuke to the messy id of Gallagher's brother -- Chasing Yesterday occasionally threatens to actually rock, delivering that signature wall of guitars on the aforementioned "Lock All the Doors," mustering up a bit of old-fashioned, cowbell-driven glam boogie on "The Mexican," and quickening the tempo on "You Know We Can't Go Back," a piece of incandescent pop that plays as a resigned companion to "Step Out."
Better still, the self-styled epics -- which include the first single "In the Heat of the Moment" and closing "Ballad of the Mighty I," which features grace notes from a guesting Johnny Marr -- pulsate with quiet color, as does "Riverman," a signature piece of stately late-period Beatles pop that would've been drained to grey on HFB.
Here, "Riverman" breathes and sighs, taking a moment to slide into a saxophone-accentuated guitar solo straight out of a pre-punk 1976, and this masterful flair is a testament to the control and focus Gallagher displays on Chasing Yesterday. He's not racing after the past, nor is he afraid to seem floridly fussy: he's reveling in his ascendency to the position of one of rock's wise old men.

The Libertines
Noel Gallagher has said that he cannot accept Carl Barât's invite to produce the new Libertines album.
As reported, Barat announced he wants Noel Gallagher to produce the eagerly awaited record, stating, "I'd love to work with him", in the new issue of NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally.
However, speaking to NME in a video interview you can watch above, Gallagher states that the band's insistence on recording abroad means he will be unable to participate.
"We've exchanged a few emails but unfortunately they want to do it in Thailand," Gallagher says. "With the best will in the world, I'm on tour and I can't do it. I would genuinely love to be involved but they're going to do it in Thailand and I can't be in Thailand."
The High Flying Birds singer does offer a piece of advice to The Libertines, however, regarding their third album. He stated: "As long as they don't overthink it, they'll be alright."
Speaking to NME, The Libertines' Carl Barat had previously said: "I know Noel's really busy, but hopefully he's got a bit of time for the Libertines who love him so."
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds release their second album in March. The Libertines are expected release an album later in 2015.

Amorphous Androgynous
Dave Sardy
Gaz Cobain
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
The Chemical Brothers
British production duo Amorphous Androgynous have revealed their side of what happened to the album they recorded with Noel Gallagher, and say the former Oasis man missed out on what could have been "the most exciting moment in modern fucking music history".
Gallagher's collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous was announced in tandem with his debut album proper, 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds', at his 2011 press conference. The record wasn't released and Gallagher recently told NME it will "never see the light of day" because "the mixes weren't right" and he just "couldn't be arsed" to put out another record.
Speaking exclusively in the new issue of NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally, Amorphous Androgynous's Gaz Cobain revealed that the duo had no idea Gallagher was working on two records simultaneously, and only discovered that he'd recorded another, more traditional album with producer Dave Sardy when it was announced at the press conference. "At that point," said Cobain, "we knew our record was fucked."
Cobain said suspicions were raised when Gallagher was absent from the recording sessions, having supplied the duo with a bunch of demo recordings. "There had to be an artistic process where we would all be expressing opinions and getting deep down and dirty with each other, and that essentially is where this record went wrong," Cobain said. "Noel gave us all the power and we conducted most of those two years in absolute isolation. I don’t think he wanted to fully interface with the craziness of our music."
He added: "You’re looking at a two-year process here – thousands of hours of our time. At no point was our record supposed to be a remix album or a companion piece… For us, this had the potential to be the most exciting moment in modern fucking music history. This was his solo album; this was the idea that Noel had held back in Oasis. He'd name-checked 'Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble', krautrock and worked with The Chemical Brothers. Now was his moment of freedom; his moment of revolution."
In spite of the experience, Cobain said he holds no ill feeling toward Gallagher, and said they get on "totally well". Two tracks from the sessions have made their way on to Gallagher's forthcoming 'Chasing Yesterday' album.
Amorphous Androgynous release the third installment of their 'A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble' compilation/remix series, 'A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble (Exploding In Your Mind) - The Wizards Of Oz' on March 16. It features Pond and Tame Impala alongside a wealth of little-known psychedelic artists past and present from Australia and New Zealand.

The Libertines
Carl Barat has announced he wants Noel Gallagher to produce the next Libertines' album, stating, "I'd love to work with him".
In the new issue of NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally, Barât explains why he wants the Mancunian to work on the record - which he says will probably be recorded in April. "I'm going to email Noel Gallagher. I know he's really busy, but hopefully he's got a bit of time for the Libertines who love him so," he says.
Barât reveals that Gallagher has already expressed an interest in taking on the role, adding: "Noel's Noel, isn't he? I'd love to work with him. He's hilarious, but he has such clarity of vision as well. That's something the Libertines could certainly use."
The Libertines' long awaited new record is expected to be released later this year. It follows a series of high profile reunion gigs from the band in 2014, including a sold-out date in London's Hyde Park and three nights at Alexandra Palace. Barat recently said that songs he and Doherty had already written for the album were "surprisingly upbeat".
Pete Doherty has confirmed to NME that The Libertines will be recording their first album in 11 years at Karma Studios in Thailand. The band released a short video in December that showed them signing a record deal with Virgin/EMI in Thailand in lieu of the release. They have since been confirmed as the first headliners for T In The Park 2015.
Meanwhile, Pete Doherty will play two solo live shows at London's Brixton Jamm on February 22.

Jake Bugg
Noel Gallagher
WE’RE LIVING IN “SAVAGE” times, reckons Noel Gallagher, but the ex-Oasis star says you’d be hard pushed to hear that reflected by the current crop of British singer-songwriters.
Speaking to MOJO, Gallagher has branded new music “bland”, arguing that, unlike previous generations, new artists make no effort to reflect the mood of the era in their songs.
“What has become apparent to me is that we live in ridiculous f***ing times now,” he suggests. “The music that’s being made now is so f***ing bland. It’s nice and kind of meaningless and then you turn on the television and the news is so savage! The music doesn’t reflect the times at all.
“I hear Radio 1 in the morning when the kids are up and going to school and it’s just bland, meaningless, mindless pop music and then the news is: ‘The World Is Going To End!’ What’s going on? The music of George Ezra: Wow!”
Gallagher, who headlines this summer’s Calling Festival in London on July 4, suggested that part of the problem was that the latest crop of musicians are no longer interested in being in bands and instead are drawn into introspective solo careers.
“I was talking to a mate recently who’s been in various bands and I was asking what he was doing and he was saying, ‘I’m trying to do my own stuff now.’ I said, ‘You should be in a band, you look great,’ and he said, ‘Nobody wants to be in bands any more, everybody wants to be a singer-songwriter.’ That’s his generation. Everyone wants to be Jake Bugg or George Ezra. The band thing is dying out,” claims the guitarist.
However Gallagher has sympathy for the current generation, believing the country’s declining musical infrastructure is forcing artists to go solo rather than form groups.
“I blame it on the lack of rehearsal rooms and the lack of little tiny studios because it’s easier for a guy to sit at home with a tape recorder and send it to a record company than it is for a band,” he says.
“Back in my day, we used to go down the rehearsal room when it was 20 quid a night, or whatever it was, and you bash it out. Everybody’s got a home recording studio on their iPhone now. All the cheap studios and venues are going to go soon.

Noel Gallagher Has Branded New Music Bland
WE’RE LIVING IN “SAVAGE” times, reckons Noel Gallagher, but the ex-Oasis star says you’d be hard pushed to hear that reflected by the current crop of British singer-songwriters.
Speaking to MOJO, Gallagher has branded new music “bland”, arguing that, unlike previous generations, new artists make no effort to reflect the mood of the era in their songs.
“What has become apparent to me is that we live in ridiculous f***ing times now,” he suggests. “The music that’s being made now is so f***ing bland. It’s nice and kind of meaningless and then you turn on the television and the news is so savage! The music doesn’t reflect the times at all.
“I hear Radio 1 in the morning when the kids are up and going to school and it’s just bland, meaningless, mindless pop music and then the news is: ‘The World Is Going To End!’ What’s going on? The music of George Ezra: Wow!”
Gallagher, who headlines this summer’s Calling Festival in London on July 4, suggested that part of the problem was that the latest crop of musicians are no longer interested in being in bands and instead are drawn into introspective solo careers.
“I was talking to a mate recently who’s been in various bands and I was asking what he was doing and he was saying, ‘I’m trying to do my own stuff now.’ I said, ‘You should be in a band, you look great,’ and he said, ‘Nobody wants to be in bands any more, everybody wants to be a singer-songwriter.’ That’s his generation. Everyone wants to be Jake Bugg or George Ezra. The band thing is dying out,” claims the guitarist.
However Gallagher has sympathy for the current generation, believing the country’s declining musical infrastructure is forcing artists to go solo rather than form groups.
“I blame it on the lack of rehearsal rooms and the lack of little tiny studios because it’s easier for a guy to sit at home with a tape recorder and send it to a record company than it is for a band,” he says.
“Back in my day, we used to go down the rehearsal room when it was 20 quid a night, or whatever it was, and you bash it out. Everybody’s got a home recording studio on their iPhone now. All the cheap studios and venues are going to go soon. You’re going to either be stuck at the bottom in [London pub venue] the Boston Arms or you’re going to be catapulted to the top at The O2 and there will be nothing in between.”

Noel Gallagher has revealed he will be voting for a “stupid” party at the general election in May.
It’s a departure from his Labour voting ways when the 47-year-old famously backed Tony Blair in the 1997 election.
Noel, who was out with wife Sara MacDonald , tells us: “I’m not going to f****** vote in the election because they are all useless. David Cameron has no clue about what he’s talking about. Sometimes I think Labour are worse because I believed in them before in 1997.
“I’m just going to vote for someone who I have no idea about, some raving crazy party.”
Comedian Russell Brand, 39, would have been ideal if he had decided to run.
