Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Patsy Kensit
Noel Gallagher has said his brother Liam went "berserk" at the height of Oasis' fame because he was too young to handle it.
Speaking about Liam in an interview in The Times newspaper, Noel said: "At the age of 19 he left my mum's house, got on the train to London and moved in with Patsy Kensit. I still feel ... the word's not sorry for him, but with all the madness that went on in the 90s I could deal with it because I knew what it was like to be normal, and I was driving everything in an artistic way. People were asking Liam about songwriting in interviews and he didn't have a clue. I think that's why he went berserk."
He added "He's (Liam's) just one of those guys, and we all know them: the kind who couldn't care less if things are working or not because they're off sh***ing some bird. When I was growing up there was always some 50-year-old mod guy who swaggered up in the park and said, 'All right, knobheads?' That could have been Liam. He's not a grafter. He walks on air. He needs people like me, worrying about the amps sound and so on."

But blackboard from cover of classic B-sides album The Masterplan fetches £1,400
The first demo tape ever recorded by Oasis has failed to sell at auction.
The cassette recording went under the hammer in Cheshire this week alongside an NME award which Noel Gallagher famously threw away.
But punters did not match the £1,000 reserve price for the historic tape, or the £5,000 tag for the award.
There was far more interest in another piece of the band’s history, however. The original blackboard that features in the classroom cover of the classic B-sides album The Masterplan was sold for £1,400 - far more than the £800 reserve.
The auctioneers say that since the sale on Wednesday, there’s been fresh interest in the demo tape and award from new potential buyers.
The collection of Oasis memorabilia went under the hammer at Omega Auctions in Warrington on Wednesday.
The sale featured the band’s first ever demo cassette recorded in late 1991 and Jan 1992 with Noel’s handwriting on the labels.
It was given to Terry Christian by Noel in 1992 while he was having dinner in Don Giovanni’s in Manchester.
The cassette features early studio demos on one side and an early gig on the B-side from The Boardwalk.
Noel Gallagher famously threw away the NME award in 1995/96 in response to the magazine’s editor failing to acknowledge the death of Rob Collins, keyboard player with The Charlatans.
Karen Fairweather, auctioneer at Omega Auctions, said that neither item reached its reserve price, but the Masterplan blackboard sold for £1,400.
The biggest seller of the day was a piano played by White Stripes frontman Jack White, which was picked up for £5,000.
A collection of framed 1960s promo photographs featuring The Kinks and other icons sold for £700.

Katie Holmes
Noel Gallagher
Sara Gallagher
Tom Cruise
He famously slammed Katie Holmes for being rude, but Noel Gallagher has nothing but love for her ex-husband Tom Cruise.
The High Flying Birds frontman was seen in London with the action star enjoying dinner on Thursday night together.
The odd couple dined at Le Petit Maison before Noel headed off to join his wife Sarah MacDonald at Mert & Marcus' House of Love party for Madonna.
Writing on his blog in 2011, Gallagher detailed the awkward incident between him and Katie.
'We literally bumped into that top Scientologist Katie Holmes on the way into the studio. We came out of the lift and BANG, there she was,' Noel wrote.
'Now at this point my mate, and friend of the stars, Scully was doing a bit of filming for my website and managed to capture the moment.
'[Holmes] looked a bit miffed at the various North-West accents and some vigorous handshaking.'
He added: 'There was no need to send one of her people over to demand the video be deleted!!!! Unf***in'-believable.'
He finished: 'For the record, I F*****’ LOVE Tom Cruise(sic)'.
Tom is currently in London filming Mission Impossible 5 and was seen on Wednesday night on set.
In the film Tom is reprising his role as super-spy Ethan Hunt, whom he has portrayed for almost two decades.
Shooting on Mission: Impossible 5 resumed last week after a week-long hiatus. Entertainment Weekly reports that production was put on hold so that the ending could be rewritten.
The plot for the film, which is currently scheduled for a July 31 release in the US and the UK, remains shrouded in mystery.
Before Christmas Tom was seen shooting scenes in and around London’s Piccadilly Circus tube station and he has also been spotted filming in Austria, Monaco and Morocco.

Liam Gallagher
Michael Eavis
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher says he has never had “one serious offer” to get his old band back together.
The musician, who walked out of Oasis in 2009 after regular rows with his lead singer brother Liam, was responsible for most of the band’s hits including Live Forever and Wonderwall.
He told The Times: “Given all the rumours, I haven’t had one serious offer for a reunion gig.”
Last year, Liam sparked stories the band were getting back together with a series of cryptic tweets that led one bookmaker to suspend betting on the band playing the Somerset festival.
But Noel said: “Michael Eavis has never called up and asked if Oasis will play Glastonbury.”
He refused to totally rule out any prospect of a reunion, saying: “It’s always like this. At the end of the interview some guy will say, ‘I’ve got to ask...’ And I reply: ‘If, if it was happening, do you really think I’d let the world know by telling you?’”

Beck
Bono
Harry Styles
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
One Direction
Taylor Swift
U2
Taylor Swift's parents are the only ones who think she's a good songwriter, according to Noel Gallagher.
The former Oasis star is one of the most outspoken people in the music industry and has taken potshots at some of the biggest pop stars around in a new interview.
He slams the genre for being "f**king awful" and "bland nonsense", claiming if it was a colour it would be beige. And he's also not a fan of Taylor.
"Who says that? Her parents?" he told Rolling Stone magazine, after the interviewer commented that people believe the 25-year-old singer is a talented songwriter. "Name those people. That's bulls**t. You're f**king lying. She seems like a nice girl, but no one has ever said those words, and you know it."
Next in the firing line were British boyband One Direction. They are one of the biggest groups in the world at the moment, but Noel just finds that depressing.
"I know Harry Styles. We've hung out a couple of times. They're lovely lads. But I've got to say, I have difficulties with people who don't write their own songs, who've got a team of songwriters who work for your record label," he said, after which he was reminded that many Motown stars operated in this way too.
"If you're trying to insinuate that what's going on now is akin to what was going on at Motown - what, were you out late eating magic mushrooms? Not equivalent. Not in the slightest."
It wasn't all doom and gloom though, with the star also discussing some people he admires. Top of the list is Irish rocker Bono, who often gets a hard time as he's seen as a bit worthy. This isn't Noel's experience though, and he even has a nickname for the U2 musician.
"Of all the people I know, he's the most fun to hang out with, for sure. He's a funny f**ker, and he can drink. And he's got big ideas - for his band and for my music as well, which is astonishing. He's always giving me titles for songs and albums. I call him Father Bono," he said.
Everyone has an opinion on Kanye West at the moment, and unsurprisingly Noel was happy to air his. Kanye has just apologised for claiming Beck didn't deserve his best album Grammy this year, and Noel appears to back that.
"He's a character, I'll give him that. And I love his track Black Skinhead. But somebody needs to buy that dumbass a dictionary so he can look up the word 'artistry'. Beck can play the banjo, for f**k's sake. Nobody plays the banjo!" he laughed.

Sex Pistols
Noel Gallagher has spoken to the current issue of Q about the Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks' album.
He said "Well, it changed everybody's life. When I see these Top 100 LPs lists I think it really should be number 1 for many, many reasons. The main one being that if that album and that band hadn't happened you wouldn't be doing what you're doing now. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing . The person that signed me wouldn't be doing what he was doing and your editor, he wouldn't be doing what he's doing now. They gave a shot in the arm to the youth. And on top that, if you listen to it now it sounds like it was recorded tomorrow. It bring back excellent memories for me of learning to swear. I remember I had to buy it on tape to hide it from my mum because of all the swearing. Their social impact and all that, I was a bit too young to be honest, but what a f*cking great band!"
He added "That 'Definitely Maybe' is even mentioned in the same bracket as 'Never Mind The Bollocks' is staggeringly flattering. If you're looking at a young person's life, both records are equidistant, 'Never Mind The Bollocks' is the angst of the '70s and 'Definitely Maybe' is the joy of being on the dole in the '90s. They both fall from the same tree, for sure."

Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher has been speaking about the name of his new album 'Chasing Yesterday' that is released on March 2.
In an interview with the Manchester Evening News he said “Dreadful, isn’t it? Let me explain how this has come about.”
A women from his label told him ‘We need a title by three o’clock cos it’s going up on iTunes for pre-order’, “I said, ‘What time is it now?’, and she said ten past one.
“I scanned the lyrics to pick something out and there’s a line that in the context of the song is about somebody saying to somebody else, we should stop chasing yesterday and look to the future, man.
“But I didn’t realise until I’d seen it on its own, ‘Hmm, it doesn’t scream joy to me’. But I blame it on a really ******** heavy tequila hangover I had. I called them up and asked if there was any chance I could change it; they said no, it’s already gone.
He added “In my defence I will say this: it’s only a title, and titles are not important because you would have to go a ******* long way to find something worse than (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.”
If this album has a weak point, then its title can be the only culprit. Mainly because it implies a hint of nostalgia - something Noel says he still doesn’t have (“I’ll watch the History channel,” he laughs, “but I don’t hark back to the good old days because I prefer living in the now. There’s only two important days in the week and that’s today and tomorrow.”).
An extended interview with Noel is in the latest edition of CityLife, inside Friday's M.E.N.

“If the last record was a very expensive film with a strong narrative from start to finish, like a really brilliant movie, this is a collection of songs and like a brilliant TV series.
“Like Match of the Day,” Noel laughs. “Match of the Day 2, as a matter of fact.”
He added “There were big gaps in the record before where that saxophone ended up,” Noel laughs. “I just had the idea one day, ‘What about a saxophone?’, and the guy came down one day and played it and that was it.”
When questioned What would 1994 Noel think of it? he replied “Initially he would have resisted it. But I would have convinced him within quarter of an hour. I’d have said, ‘******* hell mate, don’t be a square. Get a ******* saxophone in, you daft ****’.”
