Robbie: Liam Is An Ugly Inbred

No comments












One of the biggest feuds in the history of rock n’ roll is about to kick off Again.

I have uncovered a secret track recorded by Robbie Williams which slags off arch-rival Liam Gallagher for being Inbred.

In Give Pies A Chance — a play on John Lennon’s famous peace lyrics — Robbie sings a list of insults slating the Oasis frontman.

The abuse includes taunts about the Gallaghers’ looks and career, dubbing them Monkey Boys with Monotone eyebrows. It goes on to claim they’re: “Unemployed since being here right now.”
On the delicate issue of Liam’s ex, Patsy Kensit, Robbie adds: Your Mrs fancies me — bet she wishes she’d waited ’til I was shifting units.

Ouch.

A source said: “Robbie recorded the track with songwriting partner Guy Chambers when they were working on Sing When You’re Winning — their third album together back in 2000.

“They had two No1 albums under their belt at the time and were feeling pretty confident.

“The song ended up on the cutting room floor when they realised the almighty stink it would cause.”

Robbie and the Gallaghers did have a brief spell as boozing buddies at Glastonbury in the summer of 1995.

But things deteriorated rapidly.

Noel famously labelled Rob “the fat dancer from Take That.”

Robbie retaliated, sending a wreath to The Sun to pass on to Oasis when their album Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants was released in 2000.

He included the message: “Just heard your latest album — RIP.”

When Robbie sold out Knebworth for three consecutive nights in 2003 — beating the two Oasis did in 1996 — he sent Noel a pair of tap dancing shoes with another message. It read: “Dear Mr N Gallagher, you said two nights at Knebworth is history. Well, I guess three is just greedy.

“Yours, Rob. PS: Finding it difficult to find adequate support for my show. What are you doing on the 1st and 2nd? Oh, and the 3rd?”

Pop god Rob also caused trouble with a track called Ghosts on his last album Intensive Care — about his bedroom antics with Nicole Appleton — now Liam’s fiancée.

At the time he said: “It’ll really fry the balding, pot-bellied ****’s head.”

Robbie is touring Argentina at the moment while Liam prepares for the launch of greatest hits album Stop The Clocks next month.

Just as well. I reckon the further apart they are, the better.

Meanwhile, Robbie has once again threatened to quit touring.

He recently cancelled the Asian leg of his Close Encounters show and yesterday morning told Radio 2’s Ken Bruce: “I will probably never go on tour after this. That is unless I’ve got a divorce to pay for or a family and I want to get out of the house.

“I love talking about my songs on radio but you can do that for three and a half minutes and go home.”

Stars Sign Boots For Charity

No comments












Celebrities including Madonna and Sir Mick Jagger are paving the way for Britain's National Giving Week by customising Doc Martens boots to be sold off on eBay. All Saints, Oasis and Janet Jackson have also teamed up with organisers the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) to sign pairs of the shoes to raise cash for the National Aids Trust. CAF spokeswoman Sheila Hooper says, "If people raid their wardrobes, cupboards and attics to find items they no longer need but could sell on eBay for a favoured organisation, we can make a real difference."

Wreck 'N Roll For Sarah And Noel

No comments



















Sarah Harding and Noel Gallagher are two serious contenders for my Bizarre Caner Of The Year gong.

The Girls Aloud singer was snapped partying at London’s Movida club on Thursday with new pal Victoria Hervey just 48 hours after she got absolutely wrecked at the Vodafone Music Awards.

But Noel is giving her some spirited competition, leaving the Groucho club steaming drunk and pulling a pose that brother Liam would be proud of.

Below is my updated list of Caners League runners and riders – or perhaps that should be crawlers and droolers . . .

Caners league
1. Sarah Harding
2. Peaches Geldof
3. Lazy Lohan
4. Paris Hilton
5. Noel Gallagher

Bubbly Noel's So Supa

No comments



















We've always hoped that champagne is good for you and Noel Gallagher, 39, has helpfully proved that it really is.

The pre-bubbly Manc's monobrow forms an angry caterpillar as he Looks Back In Anger at all and sundry, But after enjoying some Champagne Supernova Noel turns into the unlikely Good Samaritan of rock.

The singer enjoyed come Cigarettes and Alcohol at the Groucho Club with his lady Sara McDonald, 31 and then he hugged a busker working outside the club for singing Oasis's hit Wonderwall.

Chirpy Noel then treated the street musician to an impromptu performance of Supersonic, and he handed him enough notes to fill a spy's briefcase.

We always knew that beggar costume would come in handy.

Noel Gallagher Is Far From Idle

No comments













If you paid close attention to "Don't Believe the Truth" — last year's subtly scathing effort from Mancunian supergroup Oasis — the truth itself was obvious: Bandleader Noel Gallagher had had enough of his adopted hometown of London.

If one more obsessive fan approached him with a camera phone begging for a quick snapshot, he grumbled at the time, he would gladly dropkick said cellular straight up the street. So it's no surprise that the star has finally made his disdain official. "I've just moved out of London and back into the English countryside," Gallagher reveals. "I just moved into my new Buckinghamshire mansion.

"The guitarist's bratty kid brother, Oasis frontman Liam, has just ditched his old digs, as well. "So he's living in a flat full of cardboard boxes at the moment," Noel chuckles, phoning from home. "Right now, he's in the pub'round the corner from my house, just drinking on his own. How sad is that?"

In reality, the Gallaghers were merely enjoying their post-world-tour down time, with no plans whatsoever of entering a recording studio in the near future.

But Oasis is still maintaining a high profile this fall. There's the long-overdue single release of its early B-side "Acquiesce" (which ships to radio this week), a new best-of anthology "Stop the Clocks" on Columbia and a full-length concert documentary hitting theaters, the aptly-titled "Lord Don't Slow Me Down.

"Not to mention, of course, the current heavy TV/radiorotation of early chestnut "All Around the World," as heard in that steady stream of AT&T ads.

So how, exactly, does an artist of Noel Gallagher's stature suddenly change residence? Yard sales are simply out of the question when you want to jettison your belongings, he sighs.

But he hit on a unique solution. Over a laborious three-day period, he says, "I actually put all my junk and clothes and stuff I didn't need into black bin bags, we call'em, or refuse sacks. And then I called the local Oxfam, a charity shop, and I got someone else to be here when they arrived. Because if the guys had seen it was me, it would've all ended up in Sotheby's. So I gave it all to charity and nobody knows," he laughs.

"It's all out there somewhere — people are walking around in my old clothes, eating off my old plates, enjoying all the old bits that I don't need."

As he cleaned house, Gallagher stumbled on a few items he just couldn't part with. "Like loads of unmarked cassettes and CDs that didn't have any writing on'em. I'd stick them in, and a couple of'em were just me, sitting in my front room, playing acoustic guitar, just working out songs. And some of'em were songs that I've yet to record which I'd forgotten about, and that was quite special, just listening to all of those one night.

"Gallagher wasn't finished rummaging. Carefully, he and his sibling combed the Oasis catalog to select the 18 classics for "Stop the Clocks.

"They arrived at an interesting mix of U.S. hits ("Wonderwall," "Live Forever"), U.K. smashes ("Lyla," "Some Might Say," "Don't Look Back in Anger") and pet B-sides ("Talk Tonight," "The Masterplan," alongside the crowd-pleasing show staple "Acquiesce").

"All the choices for the album are quite obvious, so it's put together for the fans," says Gallagher. As a composer, he's most proud of his vintage "Slide Away" and "Truth's" recent "The Importance Being Idle," he says. "Simply because nobody writes songs like that anymore. I mean, 'Idle' is a song about being lazy, but it's very Kinks, very swinging'60s. And I love 'Slide Away,' because it should've been a single and never was, so it's the one song that hasn't been overplayed to death. I find big hit singles these days are all incredibly commercial. Even bands who claim to be punk like Green Day are anything but."

As Gallagher tells it, there was a three-year period shortly after the band's "Definitely Maybe" 1994 debut "where everything I wrote was fantastic."

"Acquiesce" and "The Masterplan" hail from that productive period. But if Oasis had saved those precious B-sides to release instead of its third coolly received "Be Here Now" album, he reckons, "We would've gone on to be possibly one of the biggest bands of all time. Uhhh, not that we're not anyway. But I think we would've been as big as U2."

Oasis — thanks to its media-fueled rivalry with fellow English outfit Blur — went on to launch, then practically define, the Britpop movement. Unlike Blur's chameleonesque Damon Albarn, though, Noel Gallagher never altered his trademark sound — pealing cathedral guitars propped by huge flying-buttress riffs and Liam's snippy, Lennon-inspired sneer.

And persistence paid off.The group would suffer several lineup changes, but go on to sell over 50 million records.

"All Around the World" was one of the few career coups that failed to make the "Clocks" cut. "Only because it was just too damned long and we couldn't find a place for it anywhere," Gallagher says. But thanks to AT&T, the track now receives more airplay than any other Oasis standard.

When he first heard of the offer, Gallagher quickly nixed the idea. "But Liam, bless him, said, 'Look — that song's 10 years old, we never play it, so why don't you just cash in on it?' And I said, 'How much is it again?' and the figure came back, and it wasn't a very difficult decision after that. But the advert has no presence in England at all. It's not shown anywhere. But you go to the States, and you're bombarded with our song, or the 10 seconds of it that comes on.

"Oasis might be resting on its laurels this holiday season, but Gallagher himself is far from idle.

He just joined his pals Kasabian (also featured in Baillie Walsh's "Lord" flick, which follows the groups, plus Aussie upstarts Jet, on a nine-month tour) onstage at an NME-sponsored bash.

He also taped two Beatles covers for an upcoming BBC tribute to John Lennon, one with Stereophonics, another with Cornershop and Johnny Marr; as well as tracked a few new home demos, with 6-year-old daughter Anais singing along on a few. "She's got a fantastic voice — seriously!" dad enthuses. "But unfortunately, she does like Kylie Minogue, which is something that I'm not too pleased about."

Rich is the examined life, as they say. And reflecting on his illustrious career, Gallagher says, has been a quite pleasant experience indeed.

With, of course, a few minor glitches in the memory circuit.

For example, one time in Thailand in 1998. Gallagher laughs, "When we were out at some bar, and there was this incessant HI-NRG dance music playing in a bar across the street. And I was thinking 'Wait a minute! I'm sure that's a version of "Some Might Say"! So we went across the street and up to the DJ, and it was a HI-NRG disco version of our song, completely illegal, recorded by some Thai person."

The DJ had no idea who I was. But I said 'Gimme that CD!' even though there were lots of British people in the bar going mad when he played it. And Liam and I were like, that doesn't sound like Oasis, that sounds atrocious! And that — not AT & T — is easily the weirdest place I've ever heard one of our songs."
