Oasis still bigger than the rest ?

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Oasis have never been strangers to controversy, and Noel Gallagher has been back in the news with some strong comments about the current crop of British bands. In an interview with Australia's Triple J radio station, the band's leader was asked about groups such as Franz Ferdinand, the Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party.

 

"Let's call it what it is--it's indie s---, is what it is," he said. "None of them are trying to make it big. They're all trying to make it small or medium--that's it."

 

Not trying to make it big is an accusation that could never be aimed at the Gallagher brothers. The very first track on their debut album declared: "I'm a rock 'n' roll star."

 

Eleven years on, there's no doubting their star status.

 

This week, Japanese audiences will get a second chance to see the band this year when they visit Osaka and Tokyo as part of their 2005 World Tour.

 

And they'll be keen to show just how big they still are. In the Australian radio interview, 38-year-old Noel was not completely dismissive of the new wave of British music, saying he kind of liked Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs--although he described Bloc Party as "just appalling"--but he lambasted all of them for a lack of ambition to become the best or biggest band in the world.

 

Whether or not Oasis can currently claim the mantle of Biggest Band in the World is open to debate, but they're definitely in the top 10, much like the Gallaghers' favorite soccer team, Manchester City, which is currently lying in a very respectable seventh in the English premier league.

 

The Manchester City link is not entirely spurious because it was a gig in the summer at Manchester City's home ground, the City of Manchester Stadium, that prompted New Musical Express to say Oasis were "a band ready to join the likes of U2 as rock 'n' roll's living custodians, but more importantly, a band with a creative future."

 

The current tour is one of most extensive Oasis have ever made, and Japanese fans have already had a chance this year to see why tickets for the European and North American concerts were so difficult to find when the group played in Japan at Summer Sonic in August.

 

The three summer gigs, in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, relied on material from this year's Don't Believe the Truth album, a release that Noel believes is the band's best work since (What's the Story) Morning Glory--though he also said that about Heathen Chemistry three years ago.

 

This time, though, his opinion was backed up by critical acclaim when it was recently voted Album of the Year by readers of Britain's Q magazine.

 

At the summer dates, the band also offered up all the usual crowd-pleasers such as "Wonderwall" and, always a favorite in Japan, "Don't Look Back in Anger." In the past, Oasis have covered the Beatles' "I am the Walrus" and a sprawling version can be found on The Masterplan compilation album.

 

Recently, though, the band have been finishing with the Who's "My Generation," one song that new drummer Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr, should be very familiar with after touring with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey.

 

This tour offers a chance to see Oasis on their own at slightly smaller venues at a time when they're back on a creative high, rather than the chemical highs that have reportedly marred previous gigs--though they're probably a long way from taking any vows of abstinence.

 

And if reports of their last trip are to believed, don't be surprised if you bump into Liam as you're enjoying a Friday night beer in Tokyo's Roppongi or Osaka's Shinsaibashi.

 

Oasis will play Nov. 17, 7 p.m. at Osakajo Hall in Osaka, (06) 6535-5569; Nov. 20, 6 p.m. and Nov. 21, 7 p.m. at Yoyogi National Stadium in Harajuku, Tokyo, (03) 3444-6751.

he´s a lunatic

I love oasis, but I really hate it when they slam other bands publicly. I hate when any band does that. Yea noel, you're in a great band, but dont criticize every other band that you dont happen to like. Keep your opinions to yourself.

heres a link to watch clips from the new dvd single let there be love

 

I think you have to register to view it tho

 

http://www.nme.com/artists/oasis/media/79

I like Oasis, but I only have Morning Glory and Be Here Now. I was thinking of getting Definitely Maybe. Any recommendations??

Definitely Maybe is their best. Definitely get it. If you like oasis also get "The Masterplan." Its a collection of b-sides but they are some of their best songs. Their new cd is also really good. As a matter of fact, just buy all their cds, lol. They are all good. If you like what you have heard on MG and BHN then get the rest.

Hahaha! Thanks for the recommendations! I think I'll get Definitely Maybe next. :blush:

Yea, get that on next. Then maybe download the rest and see if you like them.

Noel Gallagher knows the score

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

REGRETS? Noel Gallagher has two. The first is not taking a year off after Oasis played Knebworth in August 1996, the peak of their Supersonic/ Wonderwall golden years.

 

The 250,000-strong homecoming fulfilled their destiny as saviours of British rock. The inevitable slide into exhaustion and mediocrity effectively began the next morning.

 

"The second is changing brands of cigarettes," the songwriter says, blowing smoke from his Barcelona hotel window, " 'cause Marlboro Lights are a ladies' fag and it makes me feel less of a man when I spark one up in the morning."

 

They're minor quibbles, really, 10 years after the infamous Blur versus Oasis comedy made Noel Gallagher rich and famous. His and his brother Liam's sixth album, Don't Believe the Truth, is another bloated wall of distorted guitars and vacuous macho bluster that both signifies and seals his contentment "I meet people in bands and they're obsessed with pushing things forward," he says.

 

"I just wanna stay the same, which kinda makes me unique, so that'll do me."

 

Bands like Radiohead and REM and U2 and Coldplay are constantly trying to change who they are, and I wonder if it's because their personal lives are so rock-solid that they need to constantly destroy and re-create in their professional lives."

 

My personal life is f--kin' chaos, right? Everything outside of my music is falling apart and being re-created on a weekly basis. So I have to have something that's solid as a rock and that is my f--kin' music. Thank f--k for this band, you knowarramean?

 

"I don't wanna be in the studio going, 'What are we on now? Are we doing reggae or space jazz? Oh, it's the Beatles?' That'll do me, thanks very much, I f--kin' know where I am with that. I'm good at that."

 

In theory, Oasis are even better at that since Zak Starkey, son of Ringo, became their drummer last year.

 

Gallagher prefers not to dwell on the dynastic implications. "It might freak me out," he says. "I might wake up from a dream and I'll be in a band with (fashion designer) Stella McCartney instead."

 

Neither is he inclined to read too much history into his latest choice of album titles. Since Oasis arrived in a snowstorm of British music press hype in 1994, many observers have found the alleged truth of their greatness hard to believe.

 

On their first visit here in '98, most Australians agreed they were a first-rate media circus with a pretty lame musical score. The same description applies to most British acts that have emerged from the machinery that Oasis set in motion.

 

The Gallaghers are scathingly dismissive of the latest production line led by Franz Ferdinand. Nor is Noel convinced by England's most absurd new rock hero, the crackaddled former Libertines personality turned Kate Moss handbag, Pete Doherty."

 

Babyshambles (Doherty's new band) ... it does all smack of the emperor's new clothes at the minute."

 

They're kinda the opposite of Oasis in a way, in that we were trying to make it big and Babyshambles are trying to make it small."

 

You gotta make it big. Don't f--kin' make it medium."

 

In that sense, even Coldplay are OK by Gallagher: "The only rivalry Oasis have with Coldplay is in Liam's head, right? Chris (Martin) is actually a good mate of mine."

 

Melbourne's favourite rock exports du jour are likewise men after Uncle Noel's heart.

 

"We did five weeks in the (United) States with Jet," he says, "and I gotta tell you, I love them boys. The bass player threatened to drink every member of Oasis under the table on more than one occasion and would then promptly pass out."

 

But their new f--kin' record, man, I'm telling you, I am pretty f--kin' amazed by. One tune sounds like the Beach Boys. Not that I like the Beach Boys. I f--kin' hate the Beach Boys - I think Brian Wilson is a cabbage. But we had a great time with them and they are top, top geezers."

 

Speaking of Blur, the Gallaghers were in the same room as Gorillaz' Damon Albarn at the Q Awards in London last month.

 

Any 10th-anniversary olive branches exchanged?

 

"Damon?" Gallagher sighs.

 

"Bless him. My missus is a Gorillaz fan so she was passing his table and said to him 'Oh, I really like your album'. After, he told someone that we'd sent her over as an emissary to test the waters."

 

"Now, I like Damon's music. He's made some f--king great tunes. But he's a f--kin' knobhead, man."

Oasis enjoy Sidney and Strokes show

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

IT was a case of Britpop meets New York rock when Oasis jetted into Sydney in time to catch up with pals The Strokes on Wednesday.

 

Once revered as the bad boys of the UK rock'n'roll scene, the Oasis lads made their presence known within hours of hitting town.

 

The Gallagher brothers – Noel and Liam – and bandmates Andy Bell, Gem and Zak Starkey ignored jetlag and the option of a quiet night in to catch up with their Manhattan counterparts.

 

Liam watched The Strokes jam-packed performance of their new album, First Impressions Of Earth, from the wings of the Gaelic Club on Wednesday, while Noel and the others watched from a tiny roped-off VIP area upstairs.

 

After the show both bands, minders and various music industry hangers-on, including celebrity groupie Tom Williams, headed to their city hotel and partied in the bar until the early hours.

 

Both the Gallagher boys were in fine form, keeping the party-goers giggling, particularly when older brother Noel was directing his sharp wit at his younger sibling.

 

The pair went their separate ways yesterday with Noel preferring to check out the shops while Liam whiled away the afternoon with a cruise on Sydney harbour, stopping for a frosty ale at Doyle's in Watson's Bay.

 

Denim fan Noel stocked up on a couple of pairs of duds from the exclusive Nudie Jeans in Paddington, uncharacteristically shunning limos and drivers for a couple of cabs.

 

The brothers and their band will head to BrisVegas tomorrow, before returning to Sydney to rock out at the Hordern Pavilion on Monday and Tuesday nights.

not long to go, can't wait for it. :D

 

anyone else going?

Yeah, I'm going. Getting very excited now. Going for the Foos really, I'd have paid the ticket price for them on their own, but it's going to be a really good day out I think :cool:

I love oasis' date=' but I really hate it when they slam other bands publicly. I hate when any band does that. Yea noel, you're in a great band, but dont criticize every other band that you dont happen to like. Keep your opinions to yourself.[/quote']

 

Why should he? Because you don`t agree with them? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and voicing them is what freedom of speech is all about.

 

I happen to think he maybe has a point, sure, some of the song s are catchy, for example, I love Kaiser Chiefs "Modern Way" but as a band they are nothing special.

Then again, I don`t think anything from this century can compare to 90`s, when britpop etc was happening, that was the best time to be into british music.

 

Then again, that`s just my opinion, and surely people will disagree with me, but that doesn`t mean I shouldn`t talk about it does it?

Brotherly 'love' in Brisbane

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

THE Gallagher brothers are at it again. Arriving in Brisbane yesterday, the front men of Brit-rockers Oasis were at their infamous brawling best.

 

"We fell out," Liam said, as brother Noel sat sullenly waiting for their tour bus.

 

"I don't think he wants to be photographed with me. We're not getting along too well. I don't even think he'll get on the bus with me."

 

The band's guitarist and chief songwriter, Noel, refused to join singer Liam and the rest of the band and travelled on his own to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre for the first show in their national tour.

 

Brawling and Brisbane are not a new concept for Oasis. In 1998, Liam head-butted and broke a fan's nose outside the Quay West Hotel.

 

"If you're asking about that lad the last time I was here, if anyone starts it again, they'll get the f------ing same," Liam said, although he happily chatted to fans at the airport.

 

"They're the best, there is no one else like them," Jared Kranz, 22, of Karana Downs in Brisbane, said. "It was so easy to talk to them, it's brilliant."

 

The soccer-loving Liam paid tribute to the late George Best and chatted with the Queensland Roar team, who were on the same flight from Sydney.

 

Last night Oasis played to 6500 fans, storming through their back catalogue and their latest album, Don't Believe the Truth.

Rock's bad boys find oasis of calm. True

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

NOEL Gallagher looked more Johnny Cash than bad boy of rock in Sydney yesterday.

 

Dressed in black, the 38-year-old Oasis guitarist had plenty of lip on the eve of their third Australian tour, but he was playing down the Manchester band's notoriety.

 

Gallagher said the band was more about the music than making headlines.

 

"I think we were always recognised for our music, first and foremost," he said. "There may have been a few years where the records weren't well received and we got more headlines for some of the things that went on."

 

Noel and his younger brother Liam have been a fixture on the front pages almost since they released their debut album, Definitely Maybe, in 1994.

 

Their Australian debut seven years ago was a low point, with Liam arrested for headbutting a fan.

 

"We weren't in a very good place as a group," Gallagher said of that first visit.

 

Oasis made amends with Australian fans four years later with an extensive tour that included some small-venue performances and not so much as a finger waved in anger.

 

This time the band is here on the back of their recent, critically acclaimed album, Don't Believe the Truth, an album "our kid" Liam had a hand in writing. The sibling rivalry is long gone, it seems.

 

"Our fallouts tend to be more public because we're quite forthright and we don't bullshit people," Gallagher said.

 

"I'm sure it's the same for Coldplay. I'm sure they don't always get on with each other, but if somebody asks us a question we're quite up-front about it.

 

"There are only two people in the world who are not fascinated by our relationship, and that's me and him.

 

"Nobody gives a f..k about it any more. It's not really relevant to what we do. Whatever we might say about each other in the press, it's all done with a very large pinch of salt."

 

That's not to say the elder brother doesn't regret some of the things he says.

 

"I'll be reading articles for the next two weeks in Australia going, 'That doesn't look good in print'. But, f..k it, that's the way I am."

 

Oasis have had a string of hits, including Live Forever, Rock'n'Roll Star and Don't Look Back in Anger. Many of those will be on parade when the tour begins in Brisbane tonight.

 

"This time it will be special," Gallagher said. "I'll be great, I can guarantee you that."

I saw them in Atlantic City last month. The show was amazing. Best concert I've ever been to.

I saw Oasis in Germany twice and I'll see them in Glasgow next month.
