Take That Take On Oasis As They Announce Stadium Tour

Are they putting something in the water in Manchester? As if the rivalry between United and City wasn't fierce enough now the local musos are at it - with Take That rattling their sabres at Oasis.

Both bands are to play their hometown next summer - and Take That reckon their concert will blow away anything the Gallagher brothers can come up with.

Chatting in the penthouse suite of London's Soho hotel, Howard told us: "There's a totally different energy to the two shows.

"We're all about the spectacle, putting on an amazing show for the fans, with lots of high energy and dancing. Oasis are great... if you just want to see a band stand still and sing.

"They have a different kind of energy."

Keeping the peace, Mark added hastily: "It's like all the boys coming home.

"I really want to go and see Oasis but if the credit crunch makes people choose one or the other, then come and see us."

Gary, Mark, Jason and Howard kick off their Circus tour in Sunderland on June 6. They will perform in Manchester mere days after Oasis have plugged in their amps there.

Tickets go on sale on Friday at 9am from www.gigsandtours.com for what they promise will be the greatest show on earth. Over to you, Noel and Liam...

On This Day In Oasis History...

Lord Don't Slow Me Down is a rockumentary film, looking back on British band Oasis' Don't Believe the Truth world tour which took place from May 2005 to March 2006. The film is directed by Baillie Walsh.

It went platinum in the UK and was released on October 29 2008.



Pre-release

A handful of fans-only private screenings took place around the world with the world premiere of the film at the Directors Guild Theater in New York City on November 4, 2006 as part of the CMJ Film Festival. The UK television premiere was on Channel 4 on November 19, at 11:50pm, although it was a heavily edited version with approximately 40 minutes cut from the original 95 minute version. The film was unveiled to coincide with Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks, released on November 20, 2006. A preview of the film was included on the Let There Be Love DVD single, released in November 2005.

The film features a new Oasis song also called "Lord Don't Slow Me Down", written by Noel Gallagher and recorded during the Don't Believe the Truth sessions, Gallagher described it as being "one of the best things, like The Who, The Yardbirds and the Jeff Beck Group combined, and it's got two drum solos on it!". He has also said that his girlfriend thought it was the only Oasis song you could dance to. The song was left off Don't Believe the Truth because Gallagher felt that including it would have meant he'd have been singing too many songs on the record. Italian footballer Alessandro Del Piero also appears in the video signing a shirt for Noel.

Lord Don't Slow Me Down was released on DVD on October 29, 2007.

Oasis 'Ave It!

See more funny videos at Funny or Die UK

Dig Out Your Soul, Oasis’ seventh studio has been described as the band back in rocking form, with many claiming that the notorious brothers Gallagher have finally got their swagger back. The best received Oasis record within the last decade, it’s has been compared to their world-famous debut Definitely Maybe. What the fans really want to know is, ‘what’s changed this time around?’ Have the band taken up yoga, gone all macrobiotic or has fatherhood sharpened their pens? Funny or Die, the world’s most successful comedy web site, have created a spoof video interview of the brothers Gallagher as they explain the new influences feeding their musical mojo and talk us through the highlights of the latest album.

Watch Liam ingeniously compare songwriting to ‘making a sandwich with your face - bit of bacon, bit of cress, yellow pickle, brown pickle.....’ and get some exclusive audio snippets of the band’s new material from the sun-soaked reggae ska tune, Jamming In the Sunshine to the happy hardcore referencing, Wings Of Love. The highlight of the album has to be the ballad, Nicole, which has nothing to do with Ms Appleton but rather is the tale of Liam ‘aving it with a f***in bird, who just happens to be called Nicole and wasn’t in a band called All Saints.’ Noel ends proceedings by stating that ‘...at the end of the day, that is it,’ but leaves us hopelessly in the dark as to what exactly ‘that’ is.

Oasis Frontman Liam Gallagher Gives Seal Of Approval To Scots Chart Stars Glasvegas

Scots rockers Glasvegas have added Oasis to their ever-growing list of celebrity followers.

The band, whose high-profile fans include Lisa Marie Presley, Fran Healy and Michael Stipe, played alongside the Manchester legends at the BBC's Electric Proms on Sunday night.

And singer James Allan excitedly told how his hero Liam Gallagher turned up early to watch their soundcheck earlier in the day.

James said: "We were on stage in the afternoon going through our songs and Liam was watching it all.

"It was a strange feeling. I learned music through Oasis.

"When I was younger, seeing Oasis made me think I could do that. The first song I learned to play on guitar was Talk Tonight.

"And maybe without that we wouldn't be here."

The televised concert at London's Roundhouse was the hottest ticket in town with more than 1000 people trying to get in long after the gig had sold out.

And as Glasvegas opened the show, James Bond actor Daniel Craig and comedian Russell Brand were also spotted in the crowd.

It's been a huge year for the Glaswegian band. Their self-titled debut album shot straight to No.2 and they are preparing to re-release it with a new Christmas special CD, which includes carol Silent Night and their own song A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss).

Last year, they scooped the Philip Hall Radar Award at the prestigious NME Awards, and, earlier this month, they took over a church in Transylvania and teamed up with a choir for their Christmas epics.

James said: "It was a great experience. It's a beautiful place, quite gothic and working with the choir was a new experience.

"Recording Silent Night was my idea, too. I just told the others I wanted to do it and we did."

And despite rumours that James is to quit the band, he confirmed they had a string of live dates in the diary following on from Sunday's sensational set with Oasis.

Glasvegas had prime position watching Oasis perform. They had a private area in the balcony a few feet above their heroes and saw them deliver a 90-minute set backed up by a London choir.

The 50 extra singers added power behind Liam and Noel Gallagher's voices and the finale, a cover of the Beatles' I Am The Walrus, was a the perfect conclusion to the five-night BBC music extravaganza.

Even jokes at the expense of Daniel Craig added warmth to the event. From the stage, Noel called up to the actor: "Get me the next Bond theme tune instead of dozy Americans." At the end of the night, an ecstatic James said: "The whole day has been brilliant. Watching Oasis was great and I still have to think how much everything has changed for us this year."

But he hasn't lost his sense of humour, adding: "Our rider is 10 times bigger than it was when we played a room at the Roundhouse earlier this year.

"But I know we don't get the amount Oasis have. We're Glaswegian so we plan to steal some of theirs if we run out."

Oasis Play A Blinder

Oasis played a belting gig at the BBC Electric Proms.

Noel and Liam Gallagher, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock, backed by the Crouch End Festival Chorus, were class.

Cheeky Noel even had time between songs to negotiate a deal with 007 star Daniel Craig to play him in a biopic of his life.

Sadly though, I couldn’t see too much of the gig at Camden’s Roundhouse – the reflection from the stage lights off Chelsea star Joe Cole's fancy watch obstructed my view.

He’s a top lad, Joe, and he knew every word to the Oasis tunes, including the new stuff.

I wasn’t close enough to hear if he was singing in key.

Always professional, Joe slipped home early to be fresh for training yesterday, missing an epic post-gig Sunday night tear-up.

Held at Camden’s Proud Galleries, the party was a star-studded affair – Russell Rrand, Ed Simons of The Chemical Brothers, radio’s Chris Moyles and actor Ralf Little all soaked up the atmosphere with Noel.

I’m betting that they all spent most of yesterday soaking up headache tablets.

Oasis Feeling Thematic, Kinks-y On New Songs

Oasis' latest album, "Dig Out Your Soul," has only been out three weeks, but Noel Gallagher says he's "already written" and demoed the group's follow-up.

Gallagher tells Billboard.com that he started writing the songs while mixing "Dig Out Your Soul" in Los Angeles. The "psychedelic epics" "I Want to Live in a Dream in My Record Machine" and "Come On It's Alright," on which he hopes to use a choir -- were in place for the current album but put aside when Gallagher's brother, Oasis frontman Liam, "ran out of time" to record them.

Noel compares the new material to "mid-era Kinks," referencing songs such as "Dead End Street" and "Harry Rag." "They all seem to be based around the same four or five chords," Gallagher says. "It's vastly different from what ('Dig Out Your Soul') is."

There's also a thematic unity that he likens to Neil Young's "Greendale." "It's kind of like that, but modern," Gallagher says. "There's stuff about soldiers and religious people and rock stars and travelers. They seem to be all songs about people, but not people I know. And they all seem to have a narrative; it's kind of like a story which follows on from song to song."

With a tour underway -- and a North American leg starting Dec. 3 in Oakland, Calif. -- Gallagher won't predict when we'll ultimately hear this new music, however. "This tour's gonna take us to the end of next year," he says, "and then it depends on what everybody wants to do. I think it'll happen when it's meant to happen. We just work on our own timetable."

Gallagher, who's almost fully recovered from injuries suffered in an onstage assault Sept. 7 in Toronto, is also still planning to make a solo album but isn't sure where that will fit in the timetable, either. "I'm going to do one sooner or later -- hopefully sooner rather than later," he says. "I'm kind of hoping Liam might be arrested soon, and then I'll have time to see it through."

Teacher Grabs Two Oasis Tambourines

Lee Thomas is the world’s luckiest Oasis fan having twice caught a tambourine thrown by singer Liam Gallagher at two concerts more than a decade apart.

The Cardiff headteacher could not believe his luck when at Thursday’s Oasis concert in the CIA in Cardiff history repeated itself and he caught the lead singer’s tambourine when Liam tossed into the crowd. The same thing had happened when Lee was among the 8,000-strong crowd at the same venue on December 10, 1997.

Lee said: “I was at the concert with my wife and father-in-law. They wanted to hang around near the back so I went up the front of the crowd for the first song, Rock ‘n’ Roll Star.

“I have always been a big Oasis fan so I thought I would relive my youth and get up close. The song ended and Liam put it in his mouth. It is moon shaped so he was making a smiley face with it and then he threw it into the crowd and before I knew it I had grabbed it.

“I put it up my jumper and made my way back to my wife Jo. I was absolutely delighted but I could not believe my luck and neither could Jo.”

The chances of this happening twice in the CIA are around 64 million to one making Lee one of the luckiest Oasis fans in the world.

Lee returned to work in Meadowlane Primary in St Mellons on Friday with the tambourine to show the pupils.

But the excitement was not as great as it had been in 1997 when he was a teacher at Marlborough Junior School in Penylan and Oasis were still one of Britain’s biggest bands.

“I had to give them a few clues last week.

“They did not know Oasis but they did know songs like Wonderwall.

“Both tambourines are exactly the same size and I will certainly look after them as a piece of Oasis memorabilia.”

Lee has another chance of adding to his collection of “shaker makers” next year when he will be among the 60,000-strong crowd at Oasis’ gig in the Millennium Stadium in June.

Oasis Wrap Up BBC Electric Proms

Oasis attracted a star-studded audience as they closed the BBC Electric Proms in style at the London Roundhouse.

The Manchester five-piece drafted in the Crouch End Festival Chorus for six songs, including their most famous hits Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger.

James Bond star Daniel Craig, Joe Cole and comedians Russell Brand and Ralph Little were among the stars at the gig.

The show rounded off five days of music spread across Liverpool and London.

'Best ever'

Dean Swift, 17, from Wellington said the performance was the best he'd ever seen Oasis play.

He added: "That was blinding. That's the best gig they've done. I saw them at Wembley Arena the other week but the choir added something different to them."

Natlie Lawrenson, 22, from Barnsley travelled all the way down from Leeds to see her heroes perform.

She said: "I've seen Oasis a few times now but that was out of this world. To see them at such an intimate venue was just breathtaking. The choir added that extra wow factor too."

Kicking off with Rock 'n' Roll Star the band played a host of songs from their back catalogue along with six new tracks from their current album Dig Out Your Soul.

Both frontman Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel dedicated songs to their wives, who were watching in the audience, during their set.

Noel then introduced the band's 50-member backing choir, who were dressed in plain clothes, at the beginning of Wonderwall b-side Masterplan.

"This is the Crouch End Choir, I won't introduce them all by name because there's 50 of them and we'll be here all f*****g night," he joked.

James Bond

The ensemble also teamed up with the band for I'm Outta Time, Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, I Am The Walrus and Number One hit Don't Look Back In Anger, which saw the whole venue singing.

During the show, Noel spotted Daniel Craig in the crowd and said: "James Bond is upstairs, I might see if I can blag it so that he can get me the next James Bond theme tune instead of f****g dopey Americans doing it all the time."

The actor was then greeted with chants of, 'Who are you? Who are you?' from the fans before Noel interjected, 'He's Bond, James Bond'."

He also pulled a similar trick with comedian Russell Brand later in the show when he dedicated Falling Down to the Radio 2 presenter.

"Russell will have been up there tonight trying to wangle some introduction to James Bond so he can become some effeminate James Bond baddie," Noel added.

The band wrapped up the show with their cover of The Beatles classic I Am The Walrus before Noel added: "Thanks for coming. We'll see you at Wembley next year."

Earlier, Glasvegas opened the night by performing a host of tracks from their self-titled debut album including hit singles Geraldine and Daddy's Gone.

Singer James Allan told Newsbeat that Oasis inspired him to form his own band. He said: "Before I saw Oasis I'd never really felt the urge to be in a band. They made me pick up a guitar.

"It's great too because tonight I get to see them for free."

Old Hands Show Young Pretenders There Is Life In The Old Songs Yet

Oasis closed the BBC Electric Proms last night with the most intimate and forceful gig of their tour so far. But the novelty came from support band, Glasvegas, recently No 2 in the album charts with their debut, and pretenders to the Oasis throne. "They're the reason that we're even in a band," Glasvegas's singer James Allan confessed to the crowd. "The reason that I even picked up a guitar is Oasis." And they are, in so many ways, the band Oasis once were.

They adore the echo-drenched pop of Phil Spector and Suicide as the Gallaghers once spliced The Beatles with punk. Both bands draw heavily on their working-class backgrounds. But Oasis reacted with football-chant defiance, rooted in mundane situations rock'n'roll would lead them out of. Allan picks at the pain of his past, and makes it grand. The catch in his throat as he sings "Daddy's Gone", a hymn to his helpless devastation when his father walked out, may be showbiz but Glasvegas otherwise radiate urgent faith.

It isn't the material to provoke the joyous, beery melée Oasis do when they walk on. Watching them earlier on this tour, a gradual improvement in energy was undercut by a feeling of sadness. You could see them searching desparately for their lost greatness.

The intimate Roundhouse, rather than their giant stadium gigs next summer, proves the right place to make their last stand as a relevant band. Their buzzing, thick sound is enclosed here, bouncing claustrophobically off the walls. Liam, looking ready to punch his own shadow, roams the small stage like a caged beast. Holding his tambourine in his teeth during "Cigarettes and Alcohol", he delicately tosses it into the crowd, just to watch the riot.

Noel is hampered by broken ribs still weeks from healing after a Canadian on-stage assault. For "The Masterplan" he is bolstered by the Crouch End Choir. Noel introduces Daniel Craig and Russell Brand up in the rafters, but dedicates "The Importance of Being Idle" to Glasvegas. "Apart from the lyrical content," he can't help adding. "Because that could do with some work."

He has never let Allan's lacerating self-exposure into his songs; and he may be intimating this isn't the way to stadium success. And yet new album Dig Your Own Soul provides, in "Falling Down", his first moment of middle-aged doubt. And he sings his best song "Don't Look Back in Anger" like a comforting friend.

Oasis end with "Pomp and Circumstance", inserted by the generally redundant choir into The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus".

They are a band that cannot reinvent their sound, only reinforce it. Sensitivity and the future may be Glasvegas's. But the sheer force of Oasis's past takes the night.
