What about that live show from Boston that's been on satellite tv and stuff?

 

http://entertainment1.sympatico.msn.ca/music/concerts/oasis - don't know if those will work internationally, but they might. I quite enjoyed it.

 

i did see that actually, i hope they show it again

It was originally called Deb's Dinner' date=' and was accidentally credited as Digsy's Diner on the USA edition of Def Maybe.[/quote']

 

Ok, that explains it. Huh. Wonder how someone managed to make that big and permanent of a typo?

 

You can go here http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/video.php?id=1205 to 6:30 in, if you want to see Noel notice it for apparently the first time... :confused: I don't think I've ever seen him apologise for anything before!

Noel Gallagher interview transcript

 

Intervista Noel Gallagher @ Virgin Radio

Christian O'Connell talks to Noel Gallagher Monday 12 February, 2007

 

What's that? Your boss won't give you any speakers to listen to Noel's interview? The meanie... Never mind, you can read all of what was said right here. Better smuggle in some headphones next time though... You can't listen to Virgin Radio without 'em!

 

Christian O'Connell talks to Noel GallagherMonday 12 February, 2007

 

C: Outstanding achievement award but your only 39. What’s going on?

 

N: Yeah they must have run out of people to give it to I don’t know. If Weller hadn’t done it last year I don’t think we’d have bothered, its not the first time they’ve asked us, first the initial reaction was no, then we started thinking we either do it now when we look good or do we succumb in ten years time when we just turned the corner, we still all can legitimately wear the leather jackets and it appealed to us that we’d be the youngest band to get it. When they do the retrospective film we won’t look too cheesy.

 

I don’t think many bands going to go from best newcomer to getting an outstanding achievement award probably Coldplay are the next ones in line they could probably do it, but they never got best newcomer.

 

C: What knowledge have you learnt?

 

N: About making records I’ve learnt if it’s not going well don’t panic its best to go home take a few weeks off, don’t try and chase something that’s not there. Everything in moderation would be the one golden rule whether its drink or the other nice sweeties.

 

I don’t want to sound like the drummer out of Spinal Tap but just enjoy it. I never thought it would get this far for this long and I’m still enjoying it now if we get another ten years out of it- brilliant

 

C: In a lot of interviews people make it sound like fame is such an awful burden and a miserable life for them- Keane for instance.

 

N: Some people do. I’d like to see the background they came of because if this is a struggle then they must have been living the life of Riley before they recorded. Me personally if it wasn’t for this I would be out there shovelling snow or either on a motorway or a building site. So when it came along I embrace it-it’s a great thing. You can always say no to people asking for autographs. Can I get a quick picture? no fuck off! Can I get an autograph? No!

 

C: You always sound like someone who keeps it as real as possible.

 

N: I got up at 9 this morning and there was no milk in the fridge, nothing.

 

C: Don’t you have staff to sort that out?

 

N: I didn’t get where I was today by spunking money off staff. So at 9:20 this morning I was up at Marylebone High street in a blizzard but I like all that it keeps your feet off the ground.

 

C: Are you a good cook?

 

N: My mrs sarah is an outstanding cook. If I’m going shopping I need strict instructions on what to buy. I love it when she goes back to Scotland for the weekend-chicken and mushroom pot noodle give us one of them!

 

C: How has writing the big songs changed?

 

N: The moments of magic come along less and less because life takes over. When songs come along and you’ve got to grab them while they’re there. As long as you’ve got a guitar with you and a pen and piece of paper you’ll be alright. The last bunch of songs I was just sat on the couch watching telly one afternoon strumming the guitar and frantically trying to get it down.

 

C: What do you think is the best song you’ve written?

 

N: For me, I enjoy playing Lyla and Mucky fingers. The most important song I wrote was Live Forever because it announced us to the world and it reached America.

 

C: The band took off really quickly.

 

N: Oasis is very much like a high street shop

 

C: Which one?

 

N: Superdrug-yeah Superdrug

 

C: You’re going to be 40 this year. What do you think Liam’s going to get you?

 

N: No were not that kind of family the last present he got me was, I kid you not a jumper a pink v neck jumper kind of a tartan thing with gold thread-and I was holding it up going “he’s having a laugh”.

 

I bought him a few presents in the 90’s I bought him a thing from an auction which was an Indian necklace thing that John Lennon wore when he went to see the Maharishi its worth a fortune it was round the mans neck when he wrote Sexy Sadie, so I sent it to him for Christmas and next time I saw him he had it on. He took it out the frame and the label saying worn by John Lennon. I said “what are you doing its fuckin memorabilia” and he said “John Lennon wore it I’m wearing it”. He’s probably flushed it down the toilet by now I don’t know, haven’t seen it since.

 

C: Is there any one that’s come along in the last couple of years who you think can do the same as you?

 

N: Yeah course Kasabian for spirit I guess the Arctic Monkeys for what they mean to this generation of people and The Libertines to a certain extent from what they meant a few years ago.

 

But what happened to us came by surprise. We didn’t know what we were doing our record company didn’t know what they were doing but we were just enjoying the ride.

 

The new bands are great I love the guy who writes the tunes for the Kooks and Kasabian.

 

C: How’s it changed being a dad?

 

N: You’ve got to be very careful you don’t write songs about your kids. Life changes that instant and it’s never that same again.

 

C: Do you do the kids tv thing when she’s over?

 

N: I did when she was into Animal Planet but now she’s into Disney that is evil.

 

C: Did you do the wiggles?

 

N: The Wiggles! Have you ever seen them and Franz Ferdinand in the same room seriously, never! and until they are in the same room together I’m not having it that it’s not Franz Ferdinand.

 

C: Do you think you’re going to become an embarrassing dad?

 

N: No I’m not I wouldn’t do the parents sport days because I only do stuff I’m going to win at. If I didn’t win they’d be trouble. Liam does though but he’s a different animal to me though.

 

C: If you were to die which TV detective would you want on the case?

 

N: If it was suspicious then it would have to be someone from the Sweeney but ideally it would be inspector Cluso.

 

C: What’s your favourite swear word?

 

N: Shit cunt

 

C: What’s your least favourite word?

 

N: Latte and Tapas. Being a northerner you don’t tend to pronounce your T’s after a vowel .It annoys me when people walk along the street drinking coffee, its so american. Tapas it winds me up, what is it? It sounds like some sort of material a joiner would use.

 

C: When is the last time you cried?

 

N: No, I don’t really cry. I’m more liable to cry at sporting achievement like when Ricky Hatton beat Costa Tsyu, when you see real great human achievement, I don’t cry at sadness.

 

C: What’s the greatest song ever written?

 

N: To me it’s always a Beatles son and it goes between I’m the wall or ticket to ride but sometimes I can be listening to 'Club Foot' by Kasabian and it depends what mood you’re in.

 

C: What are you doing for Valentines day?

 

N: My long suffering woman will be sat listening to the radio. I don’t do any of that nonsense. Once you start you’ll be celebrating pancake day, St David’s day, Scotland day. Valentines day… get up… brew…. I love you we don’t need to the card, do we need to get the roses we don’t need to do that surely?

 

C: What makes you go on?

 

N: The initial love of music is there for me. I can’t do anything else until they allow absolute proper profanities on the radio I can’t go into radio unless allow swearing on the television I can’t go into television.

 

C: Were you surprised about the success from your last album?

 

N: I was surprised at the review we got because I was starting to get slightly paranoid that everyone had it in for us.

 

The most difficult thing is to get a number one single-it’s easy to get an album.

C: You’re going to be 40 this year. What do you think Liam’s going to get you?

 

N: No were not that kind of family the last present he got me was, I kid you not a jumper a pink v neck jumper kind of a tartan thing with gold thread-and I was holding it up going “he’s having a laugh”.

 

I bought him a few presents in the 90’s I bought him a thing from an auction which was an Indian necklace thing that John Lennon wore when he went to see the Maharishi its worth a fortune it was round the mans neck when he wrote Sexy Sadie, so I sent it to him for Christmas and next time I saw him he had it on.

He’s probably flushed it down the toilet by now I don’t know, haven’t seen it since.

:laugh3: Hahaha, Liam... Liam is hilarious. Always good to laugh at.

 

I can so picture him with that necklace...

 

 

N: I was surprised at the review we got because I was starting to get slightly paranoid that everyone had it in for us.

Awwwww. I can understand him.

 

 

Seriously, I can always read a Noel Gallagher interview. I haven't really read any interviews with him until two years ago. Before that I'd only love the moments that Oasis were on the radio or on TV.

 

If I was in the car with my cousin, I used to beg her to play "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger"... Yeah... *sigh* The good old days.

 

Things have changed... But Noel is as funny as ever. :lol:

 

Thanks a lot for the interview. :)

Noel Attacks Blair

 

Oasis's Noel attacks Blair record

 

Tony Blair could have been John F Kennedy, Mr Gallagher said

Oasis's Noel Gallagher - who famously chatted with Tony Blair in Downing Street in 1997 - has launched a scathing attack on the prime minister.

He said people had thought Mr Blair "was going to be John F Kennedy", but he was now "saddled" with the Iraq war.

 

Tory leader David Cameron, meanwhile, was "no different" from Mr Blair and was "like a songwriter who's eternally ripping off someone else's song".

 

He told BBC Newsnight he did not think there was "anything left to vote for".

 

Mrs Thatcher

 

Mr Gallagher was closely associated with New Labour's heyday after its landslide general election victory almost 10 years ago.

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6364089.stm

 

He was among several celebrities who attended a celebratory drinks party at 10 Downing Street.

 

It's like a song writer who's eternally ripping off someone else's song and just changing the odd line a little

 

Noel Gallagher on David Cameron

 

But Mr Gallagher said that, since then, the media had turned Tony Blair into a "president", adding: "It's no wonder he acts like one."

 

He said: "David Cameron is no different from Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown is no different from David Cameron.

 

"They're all cut from the cloth and it annoys me that the biggest political icon from the last 30 years has been Margaret Thatcher, someone who tried to destroy the working class... it freaks me out you know.

 

"So I don't really think there's anything left to vote for. That's why people don't vote... why people would rather vote for celebrity talent shows than would vote for politics."

 

Drugs

 

During the so-called "Britpop", or "Cool Britannia", period of the mid-1990s, the media made much of Mr Gallagher's feuding with his bandmate and younger brother Liam, in much the same way that commentators have focused on Mr Blair's alleged difficulties with Chancellor Gordon Brown.

 

But Mr Gallagher said the media were spending too much time looking at individual politicians.

 

He said: "Nobody ever mentions Labour, they mention Tony Blair now. Everything is Tony Blair's fault.

 

"You made him into a president, no wonder he acts like one."

 

Mr Gallagher also criticised Mr Cameron for refusing to admit or deny using drugs while at school.

 

Poles better off

 

"To say no comment is typical of him and his party copping out.

 

"They wait to see what Tony Blair says...and then they move in behind and switch it and change a little bit.

 

"It's like a song writer who's eternally ripping off someone else's song and just changing the odd line a little."

 

Mr Gallagher said a Unicef report ranking the UK bottom on child wellbeing across 21 industrialised countries "kind of makes me angry".

 

He added: "When the Labour Party got in it was all about children and education and yet 10 years down the line there's people saying that kids are better off in Poland."

 

"That's not right."

 

Iraq war

 

Everyone had got "carried away" by the significance of Labour's 1997 landslide, he said.

 

"It was a big deal, the landslide and all that, and everybody got carried away.

 

"We thought it was going to be John F Kennedy and for a year or two it was.

 

"Unfortunately for this Labour government, they are going to be saddled with the Iraq war and nobody can get around that."

 

On Wednesday, Oasis, whose hits include Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger, won a Brit for their outstanding contribution to music.

Good it worked :)

I thought they were bloody boring at the brits.

I thought they were bloody boring at the brits.

I haven't seen it. The whole band?

Yeah, I guess they were just being Oasis haha.

I thought they were bloody boring at the brits.

 

I really enjoyed it. Liam's voice was off a bit, but otherwise no complaints. *shrug*

 

Probably helps that they showed that backstage interview Strombo had with Noel right before they showed it though. Had me in stitches. About his plans for the night "...we'll see what the fallout is; see how many people we can offend in one night. Going for the record tonight: eleven."

 

Meh, made me laugh.

wohoo~ I've just seen the brits performance and I think it was brilliant! :dance:

liam's voice was fine me thinks, I heard him sing far worse ;D the only thing that was off a bit (hehe) is his hair - woah, I haven't seen him for a looong time I guess :stunned: :laugh3:

 

arghs, I wanna see them live again!! :bigcry:

mwhahahaah:evilgrin: cant stop singing live forever

I just bought Be Here Now yesterday.

I just bought Be Here Now yesterday.

:laugh3: Awesome. I listened to it again yesterday.

 

Great...

 

Which song did they perform?

 

Was it Live Forever? :stunned:

^at the brits? rock 'n' roll star. :smug2:

it's on youtube. ;)

^at the brits? rock 'n' roll star. :smug2:

it's on youtube. ;)

Cool. Thank you. :smug:

 

They should have done another song. Because they play Rock 'n' Roll Star so often. I like it, but... why not... Shakermaker? :laugh3:

 

Yeah, well, it is one of THEIR songs that everyone knows, but still...

They made a few more:

Don't Look Back In Anger

(What's The Story) Morning Glory ?

Cigarettes & Alcohol

The Meaning Of Soul

^oooh, cool! :wideeyed: I didn't know that, hehe... thanks very much! :dance:

I really enjoyed Don't Look Back In Anger since it is my favourite Oasis track.

just watched "the meaning of soul" - I didn't expect it to be that good! :cool: :dance:

He added: "When the Labour Party got in it was all about children and education and yet 10 years down the line there's people saying that kids are better off in Poland."

Sheesh, like Poland is a third world country. :rolleyes:

i love oasis with a burning passion.

 

my favorite one of their songs is probably 'some might say'.

 

that songs rocks.

^Some Might Say is one of my fav. Oasis tracks. Such a great album.

 

 

I bought a used copy of Definitely Maybe today. Its very good so far.

Oh, I remember when I bought Definitely Maybe. I took it to school with me for a whole week and just listened to it.

 

It still is really good, but the first listen was incredible.

I've been listening to it over and over. I really like Live Forever and Slide Away so far.
