On release it became the UK's fastest-selling debut album and featured classics such as 'Rock 'n' Roll Star', 'Live Forever', 'Supersonic', 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' and 'Slide Away', all of which became live favourites throughout the band's career.

Liam Gallagher Help Various Cancer Charities

Liam Gallagher has signed up to support a local musical which is raising money for cancer charities.

The Beady Eye frontman took time out before performing at Birmingham’s 02 Academy last week to sign a portrait by Tamworth artist Sue Verity which will be auctioned in December.

Proceeds will go towards boosting the £1,000 raised by the musical Survive! which was performed at Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre this autumn.

Funds collected are being donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, EVE Appeal and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Former Oasis singer Liam is the latest celebrity, after actors Johnny Depp and Roger Moore, to sign a portrait by Sue to be auctioned for the campaign.

Survive! co-producer Nigel Davey said: “Liam was lovely.”

Noel Gallagher's Guide To Real-Life High-Flying Birds

Noel Gallagher has never been one to shy away from stating his opinions, whether about Katie Holmes ("top Scientologist"), his new solo album Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds ("It's just a good record, what can I say?"), social networking ("I don't need a million friends; I've got six friends and I'm f---ing trying to get rid of one of those") or innumerable other topics. This is just part of the reason why, in addition to being a genuine rock god, he's also a bit of a New Age guru.

So when Gallagher stopped by the MTV newsroom earlier this month to promote High Flying Birds — and dispel rumors that he was about to bury the hatchet with his brother Liam and re-form Oasis — in addition to talking all about the album, we had to ask him for his take on various other high-soaring members of the Avian family. And, of course, he didn't disappoint.

From his take on Rüeppell's griffon — "sounds like a German tank commander from the Second World War" — to the whooper swan — "tastes great" — to his wholesale dismissal of Canadian geese and the South American condor as "idiots," Gallagher had plenty to say about the birds that dare to fly high.

And so, in celebration of not just his really great solo album, but his unfettered hatred for all flying creatures, we'd like to present to you "Noel Gallagher's Guide to High-Flying Birds." Watch the embedded video and be amazed at the genius this man possesses. And no, despite the fact it's Thanksgiving, he didn't mention turkeys. Turns out they can't get high enough for his liking.

VIDEO BELOW ONLY WORKS IN US, AS SOON AS AN ALTERNATIVE IS AVAILABLE I WILL POST IT.

On This Day In Oasis History...

The video below is from November 23rd 2008, when Liam and Noel Gallagher carried their friend Ricky Hatton's belts into the ring before his win against Paulie Malignaggi in Las Vegas.

After Hatton's win Noel congratulated his friend by planting a kiss on him.

Hatton had previously said that, "When I think of the most important things in my life, there's my family first and Campbell my son, then I've got boxing, next comes Manchester City, then it's Oasis."

Read our interview with Ricky Hatton that was posted in 2009 here, it includes a number of personal pictures of him with the Gallagher's.
