Noel Gallagher’s Domain Man

Noel Gallagher has been leading a Spanish inquisition to find a cheeky fan who was scuttling his solo masterplan.

The former Oasis star found out recently that a cunning punter in Barcelona had snapped up the domain name noelgallagher.com ten years ago.

And The Chief's plans to get things in order for his solo career were being held up by the Barca Bandit - because he was demanding a small fortune to hand it back.

Noel took matters into his own hands last week. He paid for the Spaniard to fly to London, put him up in a plush hotel and met him in person to thunder out a deal.

And after some serious haggling, and a few Oasis anecdotes, the chancer changed his demands from tens of thousands of pounds - to some signed memorabilia and guest list action at Noel's next solo gigs.

Muchas gracias.

It's probably just as well. Had the bloke dug his cowboy boots in he would probably have found himself dangled by his cojones from a remote bridge somewhere between Burnage and Barcelona. Oasis fans will be chuffed to hear Noel has set the ball rolling on his solo career.

He has kept a dignified silence since the bitter split from his old comrades and has let the dust settle.

In all fairness, there has been no rush. The business of bringing up a family is a full-time job - with nippers Donovan and Sonny keeping his hands full.

To hear Noel embracing t'internet at last is a sign he's moving with the times.

Rumour has it he even owns an iPad now - even though it's mainly used to watch comedy YouTube videos.

He has been a bit of a web sceptic over the years. But thanks to text messaging, he kept a blog going during the final Oasis US tour in 2008.

He would post under the name General Dread, keeping the faithful up to date with his travels.

Meanwhile, The Roller, the debut single from LIAM's new outfit Beady Eye, crashed into the charts at No31 yesterday.

I'm sure there's plenty of material there for a belter of a blog entry. Give it a few months.

Beady Eye's Cover Of 'Sons Of Stage' Available Now On iTunes

Beady Eye's cover of 'Sons Of The Stage' by 'World Of Twist' is now available on the UK iTunes store. For people outside of the UK, check iTunes to see if it's available in your country.

Liam Gallagher recently spoke about covering the song, to Mojo magazine.

He said "Ah man, that's f**king rocking. It was the first song we did actually. Our DJ Phil Smith used to play it before we came on at some of our gigs. So we rehearsed that one one, then we did 'We Love You' by the Stones, but we thought, F**k it, this one is more obscure. I saw them at the Ritz in Manchester. They were a top band. They were Pulp before pulp were pop".

Beady Eye's Chart Position For The Roller

Beady Eye have entered the UK chart at number 31 on the Official Singles Chart, with The Roller.

Noel Gallagher 'Suppressed' Liam

Gem Archer believes his former Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher ''suppressed'' his brother Liam - but doesn't think that was a bad thing.

Gem Archer believes Liam Gallagher was "suppressed" by his brother Noel.

The guitarist - who now performs with the singer in Beady Eye - believes his former Oasis bandmate restricted his sibling, but thinks it stopped the 'Bring the Light' vocalist from going completely off the rails.

He said: "Did Noel suppress Liam? Course he has. Not all his life. But look, in some ways, with Noel, the best thing has been suppressing him. Because Liam could have really f***ed his own life up.

"It's so not simple, they're both the real deal. I ended up in the middle of two of the biggest forces in rock 'n' roll. So I do my best. Liam ain't a monster. And neither is Noel."

Liam's Beady Eye bandmates - who were also in Oasis and include Chris Sharrock and Andy Bell -believes Noel's departure has made the singer more relaxed and fun to be around.

Gem explained to Q magazine: "What would happen if Noel was here? Well, nobody is assuming the Noel role of, 'You shouldn't be drinking tonight' so Liam would probably still be out at midnight, just to prove a point."

Chris added: "Hence Liam's always in a good mood. It's like Elvis walking around."
