Wondering whether Obama and Michelle are in! :D

His show last night was awesome! I won't spoil the setlist for anyone who's going to see him, but man, by the last song that theatre felt like a stadium! Everyone was singing at the top of their lungs, and Noel brought the God like genius award:D. Also some great banter with the audience, including one part when he ranted (sarcastically of coarse) about how a roadie had to replace his keyboardist who "had the audacity" to get his wife preagnent during the middle of a tour!:lol:

What a great gig!! A pity that I was quite in the back and the people there were just standing and they didn't even sing, of course I did sing though, every single song! :D The couple in front of me spent all the time talking and kissing each other which really pissed me off, and they went before the concert finished! :angry: But I still enjoyed the concert very much!! Noel is such a genius, and yeah the award was just right there for us to remind that he is a fucking godlike genius! :D Had a good laugh when he speaked, he's always joking! All in all, awesome night! He leaves you pleading for more! But I know someday i'll see him again, I don't know when or where.. but I just can't wait for that moment!

I'm so glad you enjoyed Noel Gallagher Cheese Nip2 and Juanif! Like yourselves when I saw him last month my lungs were in full utilization mode! It was incredible. Never heard anything like it from a music crowd before. They, like me, loved every second of it.

His show last night was awesome!...

 

What a great gig!!...

 

So happy for you, guys!

 

 

This morning, I woke up and I saw this on the Facebook page of Noel:

 

 

:shocked2: :o :dance: :vuvuzela:

That sounds like great news! I bet he's announcing dates for Argentina! That gig will be mental :awesome:

Finally!!

 

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds are pleased to announce two shows in Argentina - Cordoba and Buenos Aires! Check the events page for details!

I still don't know where to go. I live in Buenos Aires, but I don't like GEBA at all. Awful place. The theater in Cordoba it's so beautiful, but I have to pay the trip. :\

New Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere:

 

Yes..well now then the gig in DC was OK. We ain't played for a couple of weeks so it always takes 3 or 4 gigs to get back into the groove so to speak. Our usual keyboard player (can't remember his name now) has stayed back home to help his wife have a kid, so his roadie has valiantly stepped into the breach to cover for him . . . . A bit of pain in the arse but we shall soldier on as best we can. Got a bit of a cold and all . . . with all that in mind the gig wasn't too bad. It was a good laugh anyway. Great crowd.

 

 

 

Bussed it overnight to the cultural centre of the middle of fucking nowhere, Columbus, Ohio. There is quite literally NOTHING going on here. Nothing to see. nothing to do. Had a gig here last night. Still not quite at full power but it was another fun night. Great crowd. They was chanting the stand-in keyboard players name by the end of the night . . . very funny (his name's Ben by the way).

 

 

 

Got a dirty little hangover today. Not nice, feel like a little lump of shit in fact but get on this . . . of all the people in all the world, have a guess who checked in to this hotel this morning? Go on have a guess . . . you'll never guess.................... only blimmin' Kasabian!!! What are the odds on that? Unbelievable!

 

 

 

Before I let you go I must tell you this story that has literally JUST happened to me. So . . . I'm just stood at some traffic lights waiting to cross the street when some guy slopes up to me . . .

 

 

 

"Hey man I don't mean to disrespect you”, (now that usually means you're about to be disrespected) “but you do realize you got a little 80's thing going on with your hair there?"

 

 

 

I was speechless.

 

 

 

"What do you call that style you got?"

 

 

 

I was without speech.

 

 

 

"You look like that . . . who was that muh-fucker pro-doocer who shot that bitch in the face?"

 

 

 

Erm..Phil Spector?

 

 

 

"Phil Spector! You look like Phil Spector!!"

 

 

 

Erm..thanks..(I don't know why I said thanks)

 

 

 

"Say . . . do you believe in Jesus?"

 

 

 

Seriously that just happened to me!!!!

 

 

 

I fucking love America.

 

 

 

ONWARDS.

 

 

 

GD.

 

:lol:

You saw him with the Chorus?? That should have been awesome! :D

 

 

 

Thanks!

 

That sounds like great news! I bet he's announcing dates for Argentina! That gig will be mental :awesome:

 

That's right! The choir were immense! 3 man brass section as well was excellent too. What a gig!

Two Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere today. That's strange! :huh:

 

Yes . . . well . . . Detroit then? A lively bunch. Great show. Nearly up to speed now. Close to 100%. Ben our newest member was getting the shout out from the crowd. Funny.

 

 

 

Overnighted it to Chicago. No drama. It is fucking cold though. It's always freezing here.

 

 

 

The gig itself here in the windy city was maybe the best so far. My voice is not at it's best though. My cold is playing havoc with it. A bit frustrating but what can you do?

 

 

 

Had a day off here yesterday. Bought myself a new guitar!! Hadn't bought one in a couple of years. A beauty it is too. A blonde Gibson 345 . . . 1972 . . . quite rare.

 

 

 

Not much else going on at the moment. Driving to Milwaukee today. Got a show there tonight.

 

 

 

And that comrades, is about all I've got for you.

 

 

 

ONWARDS.

 

 

 

GD.

 

:vuvuzela:

 

I'm so happy!

That's right! The choir were immense! 3 man brass section as well was excellent too. What a gig!

 

I can imagine that, it sounds epic! Hearing a choir is always epic, the strength they add to the performances is just incredible!

 

 

:vuvuzela:

 

I'm so happy!

 

I see you decided for the Bs. As. one! But you should go to both!!!! :lol:

 

Congratulations! You deserved it, I can see you're a very dedicated fan, i'm happy for you! :nice:

 

EDIT: Quite expensive, isn't it? I payed $150 (campo) to see Oasis at Bs. As. and $160 (platea alta) to see Coldplay at Bs. As. too. But I know it's definitely (maybe) worth it! :P

Unfortunately I can't go to Cordoba. :cry: The gig in Cordoba is the 5th and Buenos Aires is the 6th. Cordoba-Buenos Aires it's a 12 hours trip. I don't have the time. I can only travel all night but then I'm going to be exhausted for GEBA. Or travel by plane, but then it's going to be too expensive and I don't have the money.

 

I don't think the tickets are expensive. The devaluation here is huge. I paid 600$ to see Roger Waters in River (platea baja) and I saw the prices for Björk in GEBA, the same place for Noel, 700$ (campo) :shocked2:. Or Hugh Laurie, 1000$ the most expensive ticket.

New Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere:

 

Yes comrades . . . where were we? Milwaukee? Yes, Milwaukee!!! Not much going on there let me tell you . . . . There was a statue of the Fonz across the road from the gig, That's just about the most exciting thing I can remember. Some of the lads on my crew spent the day posing for photo's with him . . . it . . . whatever. You know what I mean. Looking at some of the pictures later it was hard to tell who was the actual Fonz!! But why is there a statue of the Fonz in Milwaukee you ask . . . well . . . the series "Happy Days" was set in Milwaukee, see?

 

 

 

Played in a beauty of a theatre. Great show, great crowd. Think I've started to notice a few people following the tour now . . . like what they do back home . . . which is nice. Thanks.

 

 

 

So . . . Indianapolis? Spent the day watching Top Gear on BBC America . . . I fucking love Top Gear.

 

 

 

I don't know why, the gig was more like a town meeting in a village hall. I enjoyed it though. I don't know why someone shouted out REALLY FUCKING LOUDLY during Supersonic, "WHERE'S BONEHEAD?" I mean . . . what does that even mean?

 

 

 

Which brings me to yesterday . . . a day off in Atlanta, Georgia. The home of CNN and Coca-Cola. Had a mooch round a couple of shopping malls. Just killing time. Nice weather, lovely people.

 

 

 

Looking forward to this gig tonight. I recognised the theatre. Not sure what it's called but I remember it being the scene of one of the best ever Oasis gigs. Not sure what era. That Swedish band The Soundtrack Of Our Lives were playing with us and we were both on fire that night!!! We fucking crushed it big time.

 

 

 

Out of here early doors tomorrow. Flying to Mexico!!

 

 

 

Cannot fucking wait for that shit!!

 

 

 

ONWARDS.

I understand, I was joking :) At least you're seeing him at GEBA and i'm sure that'll be a great show! :D

 

You're right, I just did wrong maths :lol: I paid almost the same to see him here :P

You're right, I just did wrong maths :lol: I paid almost the same to see him here :P

 

How much did you pay in Washington? Just curious. Here it was 285 pesos, so 65 dollars or 49 euros.

 

I was seriously thinking to go to Cordoba but it's too far. If it was Rosario, I would definitely (maybe :P) go.

New Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere:

 

Yes comrades.

 

 

 

Been a colossal few days. Think the last time we spoke was just before the gig in Atlanta right?

 

 

 

And what a gig! I thought it was gonna be great the minute I set foot on the stage . . . incredible atmosphere, great sound, we played great. All in all a top, top, night. What made it for me was this little girl who stood on her seat in the front row and sang EVERY WORD to EVERY SONG for an hour and a half! She was only 8 years old!!!! (I know this because she gave me a note explaining that it was her first ever gig etc,etc). The NSPCC needn't worry . . . she was with a responsible adult . . . . Can't remember what she said her name was but she was cool as fuck anyway.

 

 

 

Left early the next day and flew to Mexico City. A couple of gigs preceded by 3 days off!!

 

 

 

Got a bit messy the first night. Too much mescal . . . which of course led to more mescal . . . what led to a late night and a quite filthy hang over. The next night we went to some cantina or other to watch some big football match between Chivaz and Americas. Utterly forgettable game. Think Americas won it late on 1-0. Fucking rubbish.

 

 

 

Can't remember what happened the day after that. Nothing maybe . . . dunno . . . anyway the day AFTER that was gig day which started off early with a press conference. Fairly uneventful stuff . . . the usual gear . . . Oasis . . . blah-blah . . . Liam . . . blah,blah. (kill me now!) I did get given a bottle of tequila though (which was nice). Sat and watched some kids in the main square flying home made kites after soundcheck . . . incredible. Not as incredible as the gig though . . . a truly special night.

 

 

 

Not as special as what happened the next day let me tell you. So, I'm half way through an interview for TV when all of a sudden the lights which were lighting the room gently started to sway from side to side and the door began to rattle slightly . . . . Now, I didn't take much notice of this until the camera man very softly and calmly said "we have to leave and go to the outside . . . there is an earthquake happening." Just like that!!!!!! So, we all get evacuated into the car-park and the whole place is just gently rocking back and forth . . . a bit like being on a boat . . . mad as fuck!! 6.9 on the Richter scale it was!!!! I loved it . . . my first earthquake.

 

 

 

The gig that night (last night in fact) was even more special than the one the night before.The support band got booed off!! BOOED OFF!!!!! I've never seen that in nearly 20 years . . . I loved that too!!!! I'll forever remember my own show for a funny scene with someone holding up a placard that said "NOEL WILL YOU MARRY ME?" Thing is it was actually a guy!!!!!!!! And he looked genuinely upset when I informed him I was already spoken for . . . what the fuck?? Funny though. We left the building in the middle of a downpour. The streets were teaming with water and they stunk of cabbage and piss . . . nice.

 

 

 

Which brings me to today. I'm back in my 2nd home Los Angeles. Doing that Coachella festival.

 

 

 

Looking forward to it.

 

 

 

ONWARDS.

 

 

 

GD.

 

 

Yesterday, I saw this gif and I laughed so much! :lol:

 

Noel yesterday on Coachella:

Complete gig

Was the band that booed off in Mexico Mona? That's who his support was when I saw him. Not my kind of band, but getting booed off? That's harsh!:confused:

 

Never seen a band get booed off stage before!

I don't know who they where. I read a story some months ago that a band call Los Daniels where the original opening band for Noel, but they insulted him on Twitter. They said they weren't happy to open for a foreigner that is stealing their money. :angry:

 

PD: So, I read here that finally they opened for Noel, so I see why they where booed.

^Oh, I see. Well they deserved it then. He gave them there big chance...ungrateful buggers!

New Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere:

 

Yes comrades . . . been a few days. Mexico was great . . . as always . . . I fucking love that place.

 

 

 

So . . . anyway . . . landed here in LA a few days ago. Can't remember what day it was. It was raining though . . . think it was Friday. Drove out to top old peoples home "Palm Springs" for that Coachella Festival. Nice drive. Stopped at a place that claimed that it served "world famous" milkshakes. I mean the date and banana one was a winner but . . . come on . . . I bet they ain't heard of them in Tanzania!!!

 

 

 

Coachella Festival goes against everything that festivals stand for in the sense that it's VERY FUCKING CLEAN. You get the sense that you’re at an entertainment facility, not a massive piss up in a field, which is essentially what most festivals are right? I mean I was body searched on the way in?!?!?!? Jesus.

 

 

 

The gig itself was great. Not sure whether the old Yankee-doodles liked it or not but I loved it. Played great, sang great and because we was on at 6:30 we got to legitimately wear shades onstage!!! Always a bonus. Did manage to catch Kasabian soon after in some tent or other and they fucking smashed it . . . might have been the best I've ever seen them . . . saying that, I was out of my fucking mind!! Spent the rest of the night marauding round the sight like a cross between that video "weekender" and that other video "smack my bitch up" having the time of our lives . . . there may have been some dancing in the dressing room (and if there was I do hope no-one's filmed it!) might also have bumped into an Arctic Monkey . . . then all of sudden BANG!!! I woke up back where I started . . . in my room in LA . . . 3 hours away!! What the fuck?

 

 

 

I very much look forward to doing it all again next Saturday.

 

 

 

Now I gotta go . . . I'm runnin' outta' change.

 

 

 

ONWARDS.

 

 

 

GD.

 

 

 

He was body searched because of this "Noel Gallagher rap over sleeping tablets at US gig" :laugh3:
