Liam Gallagher Says Johnny Depp Would Be "Mega" For His Beatles Movie

Liam Gallagher is working on a big screen adaptation of Richard DiLello's book, "The Longest Cocktail Party", about the last days of The Beatles at their Apple Corps record label.

Gallagher told the current issue of the NME Magazine "Well, it's not started yet, but it's gonna be mega, man. Script's finished, and we're just waiting to tie a few things up with Apple, to see if we can use some of their tunes. And then we'll be able to see what kind of actors we wanna get. But it's gonna happen, man, definitely, next year. All I really want is to get [journalist and Beatles press officer] Derek Taylor sorted. I reckon Johnny Depp would play a mega Derek Taylor. Whether he'd do it or not, those are two different things."

Gallagher will also get a chance to show off his acting skills in the film, according to director Michael Winterbottom.

Winterbottom says, "Liam will have a part in it. He's all over it. It's about the mad chaos of Apple, so it's not dissimilar to '24 Hour Party People'... I've met him (Gallagher) a few times. He seems like a nice guy."

Former Oasis Man To Appear On The Next Beady Eye Album

Former Oasis man Bonehead has asked Beady Eye if he can play on a track on the band's new album'.

Liam Gallagher told the new edition of the NME "Yeah man. Why not? He's gotta bring his Freddie Starr wig along with him though. He's a geezer, Bonehead, he's been to see some of the gigs."

Andy Bell added "Yeah, he's been to a lot of gigs, man. He's a lovely man. He's always welcome."

Bonehead left Oasis in 1999, speaking about his departure from the band, he said, "When we first came out in 1994 to sign that deal we were just five lads of the street, there was a real sort of energy in that band. A lot happened very fast and we reached a great height very fast, by the time we came to record 'Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants' we were all living and rented this big chateau in the south of France that belonged to Christian Dior."

"To reach that stage then you should be having so much fun, and that should have been so much fun and for me personally there was no fun there and that spark has gone.

"I just thought, 'That's it for me, the old gang thing had gone for me and it does not feel right.' And if I had carried on and finished that session and then gone on and done a two-year world tour to promote it I would not have been giving 100% to the band and the fans."

Beady Eye To Return To The Studio Early Next Year

Liam Gallagher has revealed that Beady Eye will be going into the studio early next year, and will be messing about with what tunes they've got.

The band released their debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding earlier this year, and start their UK tour later this week in Blackpool

Speaking on the new songs Beady Eye front man Liam said "This one's gotta be like... eleven f**king classics on there, man. It's gotta be a life-changing record,".

Andy Bell said that the band can improve on debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding "Looking back on the first one, we know how we can improve it. I still love it, I still think it's great, but we can better it,".

Speaking to the current issue of the NME on of how the sounds might develop from 'Different Gear, Still Speeding', Liam said: "I just think it's gonna be a bit more of a grand affair."

Gem Archer added "Without sounding too up our own arses, it's just gonna be more of a constructed piece of work, whereas with this one, we knew it was a debut record."

The band said that Beady Eye fans can expect "massive" sounding songs, complete with strings, and even trumpets.

Liam said "Noel's all like, 'I'd mention trumpets to Liam and he'd fucking spin out' and all that," scoffs Liam. "I wanted Henry The Hoover on 'Better Man' and on 'Born On A Different cloud' as well. I remember our kid going 'What the fuck are you doing?' like that. I was like, 'We're fucking... experimenting, man'. And he was just like that (looks disapproving), tutted and walked out. And it's just like, a Hoover's always good. Henry The Hoover, man..."

Check out this week's NME that has a Q&A with the Band, with questions submitted by fans and friends.

Noel Gallagher's Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere (Vol.2) Part Six

Y'know, life can be a wonderful thing... Full of ups and downs. Twists and turns. Ins and outs and roundabouts. For long periods life can be mundane (not mine… mine's fuckin' mental!!!). And the further you get along the road of life, the more you've experienced, the less there is to experience… or so I thought!!

I have been woken with the news that for the 2nd week running I sit proudly at the top of GRAZIA magazine's column of lust!!!! Number fuckin' one, baby!!!!!!

Seriously Coldplay, you might be selling records by the skip-load and think that you're operating in some kind of musical CD-selling "Para, para, paradise", but the girls back home have spoken, and they're speaking the language of lust.

My blimmin' albums don't even stay at #1 for 2 weeks!!!

My missus is so proud, as will my mam be.

I dunno… free driving lessons? GRAZIA magazine? Where will it end?

Loose Women? Strictly Come Dancing, probably. The sky's the limit!!!!!

In other news… The gig last night at the legendary Massey Hall was great. Most enjoyable. Even had a good laugh with the audience. Looking forward to tonight.

It's raining, by the way.

In a bit.

GD.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds In Toronto Night One

Being first isn’t always best it turns out.

Just ask British rocker Noel Gallagher of Oasis fame, who launched his first ever North American tour as a solo artist on Monday night at Massey Hall during the first of two back-to-back shows. His new act is actually called Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

The 44-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist arrived months after his brother and former Oasis front man Liam Gallagher came to T.O. in late June to play with his solo act, Beady Eye, at the Sound Academy in support of his new disc, Different Gear, Still Speeding.

But while Liam was first out of the gate both with an album and tour, Noel wound up being the better of the two in a live setting.

The general consensus has always been that Noel writes the better songs and Liam is the better singer. That’s still the case, but Noel’s live act had more energy, dynamism and style with a huge LED screen behind him that said Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in huge letters when it wasn’t showing videos, cool strobe and coloured lights,

More importantly, he dared to play Oasis songs, right alongside his new solo tunes - with his debut solo disc out Tuesday - during the course of his 90-minute set, while Liam has refused to.

In fact, Noel kicked off the night with two Oasis songs, (It’s Good) To Be Free and Mucky Fingers before delving into High Flying Birds territory with Everybody’s On The Run, Dream On and the popular single, If I Had A Gun, which prompted a big sing-along.

But when he pulled out an acoustic guitar and played stripped down versions of such huge Oasis hits as Wonderwall and Supersonic, the real male bonding amongst audience members - arm-in-arm and singing at the tops of their lungs - began.

Of his four side musicians, I particularly enjoyed keyboardist Mike Rowe, also on piano and organ, and drummer Jeremy Stacey, who looked like he’d walked off the set of Clockwork Age with his black bowler hat, as they backed him on Wonderwall and Supersonic, on piano and tambourine, respectively.

And of the newer tunes, it was such super-charged rockers as (I Wanna Live in a Dream in My) Record Machine, AKA... What a Life!, and Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks that stood out.

Then it was back to a trio of Oasis gems - Little By Little, The Importance of Being Idle and Don’t Look Back In Anger - that made up the spirited encore.

Ultimately, of course, the best thing would be if Noel and Liam came back together for an Oasis reunion as it’s their fractious sibling chemistry that truly makes them special. (Liam’s been making noises about doing it in 2015.)

Noel actually talked about Liam as the show wound to a close when one fan near the front asked about him.

“Our kid? He’s okay. Have you seen him?”

When the fan responded, he saw him buying some questionable shoes, Noel followed up with: “Were they high heels? He’s secretly wearing women’s shoes? You heard it here first.”

Until a reunion, then Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds is the closest things Oasis fans have to the real thing.

Noel also showed a level of bravery in launching his first North American solo tour in Toronto on Monday night, given the last time he was here he was rushed and injured by a drunken fan on stage during the Virgin Music Festival on Toronto Island in September 2008.

Not surprisingly, there was lots of security lining the front of the Massey Hall stage and aisles were kept clear by ever-vigilant ushers.
