Ricky Hatton Nearly Got Liam Gallagher Belted

No comments

Former world boxing champ Ricky Hatton’s confessed he almost got wide-boy rocker Liam Gallagher, 39, killed.

The beefcake, 32, said: “I was fighting in Mexico and Oasis were there for a gig. Noel and Liam came along and carried my belt into the ring for me.

“But when Liam got in there he didn’t know what to do with it so he went straight to my opponent and shoved it right in his face. My opponent was American/Italian so half the Sopranos were in the audience.

“I thought someone better get hold of Liam before we got killed.”

Five Star Review Of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

3 comments

The German edition of the Rolling Stone magazine has given Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds a five star review in the current edition.

Below is a translation of the review with thanks to boardie.



Finally: Noel's best album since Morning Glory

That Beady Eye's album would be less melodic and that we would miss Liam's voice on Noel's solo debut would have seemed to be a 'plain sailing'. Nevertheless, both post-Oasis-era albums became a big surprise. Beady Eye's Different gear Still Speeding, because it is not as dull as expected. And tech-sceptical Noel deserves applause for being able to record an album in the digital age without being observed along the way. Which isn't a bad thing, since we would not have been able to deal with the long time of waiting.

Speaking of Oasis (at least in the last years) there was always too much Believe and Hope without a payoff; because our hearts always longed for more, always remebered the good old days but our minds always knew: these days will never come back.

So, did Noel hold back his best ideas over the years? It deeply seems so: Demos of 'Record Machine' and 'Stop the Clocks' were around the Internet for years, but now Noel Gallagher recorded the ultimate versions of those songs. And here is the most important difference to the later Oasis: Finally, Noel sticks to his promises.

The whole mastery of this man can be seen in the very first song, 'Everbody's On The Run', which is a majestic masterpiece and which is - despite the orchestra and the choir - not the least cheesy. The sound of the record is dominated by traditional 'golden age' British songwriting and psychedelic reminiscences. It is interrupted by occasional echoes of Oasis, but more lightly produced and less suitable for the stadium. If Coldplay hadn't become more and more predictable and boring, they might have been able to release a song as wonderful as 'AKA... What A Life!'. Ray Davies has not written a song as excellent as 'The Death Of You And Me' or 'Dream On' in ages, and by recording 'If I Had A Gun', Noel shows impressively that he is a brilliant romantic.

At some point you will miss Liam's punch, his electrifying voice. But that's the only thing to complain about. Noel's High Flying Birds is nothing less than his most substantial musical statement since Morning Glory.

Another On This Day In Oasis History...

On This Day In Oasis History...

No comments

The Shock Of The Lightning" is a song by Oasis and is the fourth track from the band's seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul. The song was released as the first single from the album on 29 September 2008. It received its first airplay on 15 August 2008 on multiple UK and Irish radio stations including the Ian Dempsey Breakfast show on Today FM in Ireland, BBC 6 Music by Shaun Keaveny, and by Chris Moyles on BBC Radio 1. Chris was joined by Noel Gallagher on the 15 August 2008.

Noel said of the song: "If 'The Shock of the Lightning' sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. 'The Shock of the Lightning' basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think. The first time you record something is always the best”. It was described by NME as "a massively improved version of 'It's Gettin' Better (Man!!)'" and featuring "love is a litany/a magical mystery" as the song's chorus.

The single is the first Oasis song to feature a remix on a studio release. The B-side is a remixed version of the album track "Falling Down" by The Chemical Brothers, who Noel has worked with in the past. However, a promo release of Oasis' cover of "Cum On Feel the Noize" contained the "Lynchmob Beats Mix" of "Champagne Supernova" by Brandon Lynch that was also re-released as a stand alone promo for Stop the Clocks. Consequently this is their first official CD single release that does contain a new track as a B-side.

On 30 July 2008, the official Oasis website posted a Dig Out Your Soul trailer which contained a 23 second clip of the intro to "The Shock of the Lightning" as well as a 20 second clip of the drum solo. On 15 August 2008, the song received it first airplay on the The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 with Noel Gallagher present. Noel said of the song on Shaun Keaveny's Radio 6 show, "It's a driving, pumping, pop, rock 'n' roll masterpiece". In NME, the song was named as 'song of the week' and received a score of 9/10, despite being referred to as "only the fifth best song on Dig Out Your Soul".

"The Shock of the Lightning" entered the UK Singles Chart at #3, becoming the band's first lead single since their debut, "Supersonic", to fail to reach #1 in their homeland. However the song reached #12 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart in the USA, making it their most successful single there since "Don't Go Away", which peaked on the chart at #5 in 1998. It also reached #93 on the Billboard Hot 100, their first song to chart on the Hot 100 since "Don't Look Back in Anger" in 1996.



Music video

The music video for the song (directed by Julian House and Julian Gibbs) debuted on the band's official site on 25 August at 17:30 (UK time) and was broadcast on Channel 4 at 23:40. The video depicts Liam singing and the occasional appearance of the rest of the band, intercut with stock footage related to the album's artwork. The opening shot of the video of silhouetted heads is a reference to the cover of the Rolling Stones compilation record Hot Rocks 1964-1971.

Drum Kit From Alan And Steve White Raises Money For A Cancer Charity

No comments

Two of Britain's most famous drummers – who also happen to be brothers – have sold one of their classic drum kits to raise money for a cancer centre.

Steve White, who used to play drums for the Style Council, and his brother Alan, who used to bang away for Oasis, sold the drums in order to generate funds for the Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology on the Wirral in Merseyside.

It's a cause close to Steve's heart as his pal Phil Morris received treatment there a few years ago.

"While I was being treated the nursing staff really looked after me. They are amazing and there aren't enough words to describe how I feel about them and the wonderful work they do," Mr Morris said.

A fan paid up to £1,000 for the white-marine Pearl drums.

Steve said: "I'm only too happy to put some money towards the excellent work done at Clatterbridge and also raise awareness about testicular cancer."

Liam Gallagher's Wife Forgets He Is A Rock Star

No comments


Nicole Appleton forgets her husband Liam Gallagher is a rock star.

The former All Saints singer doesn't recognize the ex-Oasis forntman's persona as a wild hellraiser because he's so "normal" when he's at home with her and their 10-year-old son Gene.

Nicole - who has been in a relationship with Liam since 2000 and married him in February 2008 - said: "He's so normal. And he's so Gene's dad. It's funny to think of him as that (a rock star). He's an amazing guy."

The 36-year-old blonde is currently living in Canada with Gene as she presents new TV talent show 'Cover Me Canada' and she was thrilled when Liam took time out from his new band Beady Eye's tour to watch her on the first night.

Noel Gallagher Finally Embraces Digital Media

No comments

Noel Gallagher is the cover star on this week's NME, in which he reveals that he's finally embraced digital media after recently purchasing a computer. In the past other than a blog on Oasis' official website, the star has publicly shunned digital technology. "I have to say - and this needs to be said - I have spent more money on music since I've got a computer," he explains.

"That's how I listen to music now. People always ask me: 'What you listening to?' And it's like: 'Fucking EVERYTHING!' I always have the iPad on shuffle and you can be listening to Erik B & Rakim, then The Band, something off 'Hacienda Classics', Bert Jansch and U2...and that's just in the shower."

The frontman also talks about how his forthcoming solo album is "the best collection of songs I've written for a long fucking time".

"That said, he knows bugger-all about being a DJ so I'm going to get the bleeper machine ready and throw him in at the deep end to see what he's made of."

He added: "Who knows, if it works out I could be his new wingman - I hear the last guy didn't work out so well."
