| Noel Gallagher kündigt Soloalbum an |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/30, 20:41 Uhr) So schnell wie möglich
Noel Gallagher hat definitiv ein Soloalbum angekündigt.
Weil er sein irdisches Dasein nicht beeinflussen könne, wolle der Oasis-Mastermind sein Projekt möglichst schnell über die Bühne bringen, also noch vor seinem eigenen Ableben und bestenfalls "solange ich noch gut aussehe und bevor ich aussehe wie Phil Collins."

| Semi-acoustic Noel Gallagher hits Australia |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/27, 11:59 Uhr) Noel Gallagher brings Oasis bandmate Gem Archer for a quick Australian tour.
In a very late announcement, hot on the heels of their Best Of 'Stop The Clocks', the two will play four semi-acoustic shows in the middle of December as a plug for the album. Noel and Gem have already played these types of showcases in London, Los Angeles, Toronto and Tokyo, knocking out a virtual greatest hits set on guitar, organ and featuring Terry Kirkbride on percussion.
Reports from LA and Toronto said that Gallagher aired Oasis' 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' film from their 2005 tour which is slated for a 2007 release. It featured performances, backstage footage, interviews and tour bus action and doesn't shy away from the ever-entertaining niggling between Liam and Noel.
In fact, Noel has been yapping even more during press for the album. He recently chided Arctic Monkeys for being embarrassed about chart success. He declared, "If you're not in the charts, you don't exist. I went in there to get Phil Collins' severed head in my fridge by the end of the decade."
Westlife's 'The Love Album' beat 'Stop The Clocks' to the top of the UK charts this week when both albums debuted.
Dates:
* Melbourne, The Forum - Sunday December 10
* Brisbane, The Tivoli - Tuesday December 12
* Sydney, Enmore Theatre - Thursday December 14
* Perth, Concert Hall - Saturday December 16

| Noel Gallagher plays unique gig at a chapel |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/27, 11:59 Uhr) However Westlife beating Oasis proves 'there is no God'
Noel Gallagher played a unique intimate gig in London tonight (November 26).
Oasis' leader staged an acoustic show at the Union Chapel in Islington as part of the Little Noises Sessions for charity Mencap.
Performing in front of his smallest UK audience for years, Gallagher backed by bandmate Gem on guitar and a percussionist, played a mixture of acoustic b-sides and album tracks adapted for the evening.
Arriving on stage to chants of "Noel! Noel" before opener 'It's Good To Be Free', the guitarist charmed with both his musical performance and his between song banter.
With the likes of 'Cast No Shadow', 'Wonderwall' and 'Don't Look Back In Anger' among the highlights, Gallagher also let the small crowd know his feelings after Oasis' 'Stop The Clocks' was beaten to the Number One slot in the UK Album Charts by Westlife tonight.
"Did someone say Westlife?" he asked the audience. "That goes to prove there is no God!"
However realising he was in a chapel he addressed the almighty saying: "You may strike me down if you wish, but it's true!"
With the set including a cover of The Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields', Gallagher also paid tribute to Bob Dylan.
Introducing single 'Whatever', a track Oasis have not played live in the UK in some while, the guitarist explained he had based his new acoustic version of the song the legend's style, before blending it with the rhythm from 'Subterranean Homesick Blues'.
"I haven't played this next song in what... two weeks," he joked referring to a recent acoustic show in Los Angeles. "But as for you lot you haven't heard in ages. I'm going to do it in the style of Bob Dylan!"
Noel Gallagher played:
* 'It's Good To Be Free'
* 'Talk Tonight'
* 'Fade Away'
* 'Cast No Shadow'
* 'The Importance Of Being Idle'
* 'Listen Up'
* 'Half The World Away'
* 'Wonderwall'

| Liam Gallagher: My Oasis best of |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/24, 14:53 Uhr) 'Noel missed out a few' says singer
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has revealed the songs he wanted to be new Oasis best of collection 'Stop The Clocks'.
According to Liam, the tracklisting picked by his brother Noel Gallagher has a few omissions.
"I think he's missed a few. I'd have put on 'Rockin' Chair', 'D'You Know What I Mean?' I would have put some off 'Be Here Now'," he declared.
"If he didn't like the record ('Be Here Now') that much, he shouldn't have put the fucking record out in the first place," added the singer. "I don't know what's up with him but it's a top record, man, and I'm proud of it - it's just a little bit long."
However talking to The Sun's Something For The Weekend, Noel Gallagher admitted 'D'You Know What I Mean?', the chart-topping fist single from 'Be Here Now', was actually included on the album until the very last moment.
"(It) was on it right up to the day before it was mastered. But it's just too long. It upset the flow of the album," he explained.
However when not disagreeing with his brother, Liam Gallagher also explained what he'd do if his hero John Lennon was alive and they met.
"I'd freak him out by looking at him, stare him out," admitted the singer, "but I don't know. I'd probably bum him."

| Oasis: Liam beleidigt Irak-Soldaten |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/23, 13:06 Uhr) Die Verwundeten aus dem Irak-Krieg sollten aufhören zu jammern - sie hätten es nicht anders gewollt, provozierte Liam Gallagher gestern in der Sun. Das wollen die Betroffenen nicht auf sich sitzen lassen ...
London (joga) - Wenn Liam Gallagher zu einem seiner berühmten Rundumschläge ausholt, hilft meist nur die berühmte gute Miene zum bösen Spiel - wer will sich schon auf einen Streit mit dem berüchtigten Rüpel einlassen. Besondere Vorsicht ist geboten, wenn mal wieder eine Oasis-Veröffentlichung ansteht; die Gallaghers haben eben ein ganz eigenes Verständnis von "Öffentlichkeitsarbeit".
Im gestrigen Interview mit der Sun beleidigte Liam Gallagher nebenbei Robbie Williams und Elton John als "Arschlöcher" und nannte die Grünen "fucking hippies with no place in the world." Zuvor hatte er an anderer Stelle das neue Beatles-Remixalbum als "Müll" bezeichnet: Er habe nach fünf Songs nicht mehr weiter gehört.
So weit nicht mehr als business as usual. Mit seiner ebenfalls im Sun-Interview vorgebrachten Suada gegen die Soldaten im Irak allerdings löste Liam ein empörtes Echo aus, zumal er dem Verantwortlichen für das Irak-Desaster, Tony Blair, immer noch die Stange hält.
"Die Soldaten wollten in den Irak", sagte Gallagher zur Sun: "alles, was sie wollten, war zu kämpfen. Sie lieben es, so lange, bis sie angeschossen werden. Dann rufen sie nach Entschädigung. Dabei ist es doch so einfach: wenn du nicht angeschossen werden willst, gehe nicht in die Armee!".
Das wollen nun Veteranen und ehemalige Irak-Kämpfer nicht auf sich sitzen lassen. Ray Bristow, Vertreter eines britischen Veteranen-Verbandes, betonte in einer ersten Reaktion, die Soldaten würden das Land verteidigen, das solche Meinungsfreiheit erst erlaube: Liams Kommentare seien nur möglich, weil "tausende Soldaten ihren Kopf für ihr Land hinhalten".
Der Gefreite Lionel O'Connor, der im Irak-Krieg ein Bein verlor, geht noch weiter. Liam habe offensichtlich keine Ahnung von den Verhältnissen im Irak: "Wenn er diese Äußerungen wirklich gemacht hat, sollte man ihn dorthin schicken ...".

| Oasis vs Westlife |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/22, 08:45 Uhr) Oasis are heading the race to claim the UK Number One album this Sunday, according to early sales reports.
The Gallagher brothers look set to compete with Westlife for the chart-topping LP, despite going head-to-head with U2 and The Beatles.
Apparently "Stop The Clocks" and "The Love Album" are outselling their rivals, having shifted over 50,000 each on the first day of release.
The Fab Four's "Love", which is a sound collage of their biggest hits produced by George Martin, is currently in third, one spot ahead of the new U2 best of "U218".
Meanwhile, Noel and Liam Gallagher have dismissed "Love" as "rubbish" and "a pointless exercise", the day after all four albums were released.
Liam insisted: "If you haven't got The Beatles by now you're not going to get it. I'm all Beatled-up!"

Mit ihrem letzten Album DON'T BELIEVE THE TRUTH haben Oasis ihren Vetrag mit Sony BMG erfüllt. Noel Gallagher hat einmal gesagt, dass Oasis erst ein Best-Of-Album veröffentlichen, wenn die endgültige Auflösung der Band besiegelt ist. Das ist soweit auch richtig, noch gibt es keine Trennung. Allerdings sind bis Mitte 2007 keine Arbeiten an einem neuen Album geplant und die Band hat noch keinen neuen Plattenvertrag. Bleibt abzuwarten was das Jahr 2007 noch so bringt.

(Thorsten, 2006/11/10, 19:35 Uhr) Zwölf Jahre nach ihrer Debütsingle "Supersonic" veröffentlicht Englands erfolgreichste und einflussreichste Band der vergangenen Dekade erstmals eine Retrospektive ihres bisherigen Schaffens.
Das Doppelalbum 'Stop The Clocks' erscheint am 17. November, und für alle Fans wird - zumindest an diesem Tag - die Zeit still stehen, sich vielleicht sogar zurückdrehen ins Jahr 1994, als die Singles 'Supersonic' und 'Shakermaker' erschienen und die Welt veränderten. Die Formation um die Brüder Noel und Liam Gallagher, die in ihrer Heimat bis dato acht Nummer-Eins-Hits landen konnte und weltweit mehr als vierzig Millionen Alben verkaufte, wählte persönlich achtzehn Stücke aus ihrem spektakulären Repertoire aus. Neben ihren Genre-prägenden Hits wie "Wonderwall" oder "Supersonic" umfasst der Longplayer auch legendäre B-Seiten wie "Half The World Away" (von der '94-er-Single "Whatever") und "Acquiesce" (von der '95-er-Single "Some Might Say").
Der erste On-The-Road-Film von Oasis 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' wird in einem einmaligen und exklusiven Screening am 30.11.06 im Zürcher Kino Riff Raff gezeigt (Nocturne, Beginn 23.00 Uhr). Gedreht von Baillie Walsh (Massiv Attack, INXS) auf der ausgedehnten 'Don't Believe The Truth'-Tour 2005/06, gibt diese ultimative Dokumentation einen Einblick hinter die Kulissen, begleitet die Band auf ihrem Weg rund um den Globus, zeigt Liam, Noel, Andy, Zack und Gem in privaten Momenten und in direktem Kontakt mit den Fans.

| Noel Gallagher - 'The fantasy's gone out of making music' |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/08, 13:01 Uhr) The Oasis guitarist believes 'kids have it too good'
Oasis mainman Noel Gallagher says the "fantasy" has gone out of making music - because of advances in technology.
Speaking exclusively in this week's NME, the star bemoans the iPod and DVD generation because of their insistence on wanting more and more information about how records are made.
He said: "This generation of kids just rely on the technology - that's what they want. These days you can see fucking Johnny Borrell in his pants going through the bass parts, and that just strips away the magic for me."
He added: "Everyone just wants more and more information. All the fantasy's gone out of music, 'cos everything is too fucking real. Every album comes with a DVD with some cunt going, 'Yeah well, we tried the drums over there, but...' Give a shit, man! It makes people seem too human, whereas I was brought up on Marc Bolan and David Bowie, and it was like, 'Do they actually come from fucking Mars?'"

| Oasis: Neubeginn! |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/07, 16:07 Uhr) Eine Ära geht vorüber: Oasis verlassen ihr Label. Und wollen ganz von vorne anfangen...
Ihr Best Of 'Stop The Clocks' ist noch nicht mal erschienen, da gibt Liam Gallagher schon bekannt, dass er und seine Kollegen sich noch in diesem Monat ins Studio aufmachen werden, um ihr neues Album aufzunehmen!
Dem Magazin 'Uncut' erzählte Liam:
Ich denke, dass wir noch Ende des Monats in unser Studio gehen werden. Geile Scheisse: Wir werden auf diese verdammte Ranch in High Wycombe fahren, dort bleiben und es einfach fertig machen. Wir müssen nur darauf warten, dass Noel mit seinen Tunes fertig wird.'
Man darf nicht vergessen, dass 'Stop The Clocks' gleich zwei Mal ein Meilenstein ist: Es fasst nicht nur eine grosse Karriere zusammen, sondern ist auch das letzte Album in Zusammenarbeit mit ihrer bisherigen Plattenfirma SonyBMG. Liam hierzu:
'Ich möchte dieses Album aus dem Weg schaffen, es macht mich wahnsinnig. Für mich ist es das letzte in diesen verdammten 16 langen Jahren mit dem Label, und jetzt ist es einfach vorbei. Wir können ganz von vorne anfangen.'
Label hin oder her, der Rummel um Oasis ist momentan enorm: Die Filmpremiere zu der Doku 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' in New York hatte einen Riesenzulauf. In London findet zur Zeit eine grosse Photo-Ausstellung statt, unter anderem mit tollen Aufnahmen aus der Zeit der Entstehung der Band sowie Bilder der legendären Manchester Maine Road Show 1996 (einige Bilder gibt's hier zu sehen).
Ihr müsst aber gar nicht nach New York oder London, denn wir VERLOSEN KARTEN für die deutschen Filmpremieren! Und Album-PRELISTENING gibt's auch! Und Clips! Album hören, Tix gewinnen? Klicken!

The Oasis band member is set to wed long-time girlfriend Sara McDonald in his native city of Manchester, England, next year.
The couple - whose romance was quoted as the grounds for Noel's divorce from first wife Meg Matthews in 2001 - will tie the knot at the city's Urbis museum and enjoy a wedding party at Manchester City's new football ground.
Noel - who is a huge fan of his local team - is thrilled at the prospect of having his wedding bash held at the stadium.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "Noel is a mad Manchester City and and he likes to involve the club in all the big occasions of his life. He would've loved to have had his reception on the old ground, Maine Road, because he has great memories of playing live there - but the new stadium is impressive."
Last week, Noel was honored at the Q Awards.
He picked up the Classic Songwriter Award, while Oasis - fronted by his brother Liam - was named the Best Act In The World Today by readers of the respected music magazine.

He also explained why the track of the same name does not feature on the collection.
"Despite various demos we never nailed what version we're all happy with," explained Gallagher of the us-yet-unreleased song, "but the title fits where we are now."
A fan also asked the guitarist why he claims Oasis' are "the greatest band in the world".
"I only go by what's on the charts," declared Gallagher in response. "I'm not interested in what's hip to music critics, what I was actually saying when I was saying I was the greatest thing since Elvis Presley was: 'I think I'm the best thing in the Top 40 and I think anybody whose from England would probably agree with that!'."
Oasis are set to release 'Stop The Clocks' on November 20, while 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' will be screened in the UK later this month.

| Williams entschuldigt sich für Gallagher-Song |
(Thorsten, 2006/11/03, 10:22 Uhr) Robbie Williams hat den Oasis-Stars Noel und Liam Gallagher einen Entschuldigungsbrief geschrieben, nachdem ein böser Song über sie auf seinem neuen Album erschienen war.
Der «Angels»-Sänger behauptet, dass er nicht wusste, dass «Dickhead» es überhaupt auf die britische Version von «Rudebox» geschafft hatte, und hat die Rocker, mit denen er seit langem im Streit liegt, um Verzeihung gebeten.
Oasis-Songschreiber Noel Gallagher ist jedoch alles andere als beeindruckt von dem Williams' Entschuldigung oder dem Song.
Gallagher: «Ich habe das Album nicht gehört - ich bezweifle, dass ich das noch machen werde - offenbar ist das der beste Song darauf. Er hat diesen Brief an unser Büro geschickt und schrieb, dass er nicht wusste, dass er auf dem Album ist. Er kann sich gepflegt verpissen. Es ist mir scheissegal, was er denkt, und er ist mir auch scheissegal.»
