Noel reveals Kasabian's toy cure -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS guitarist/singer NOEL GALLAGHER was amazed when he heard the temporary cure for fellow British rocker TOM MEIGHAN's attention deficit disorder (ADD) - a visit to toy store Toys 'R' Us. Gallagher toured the United States with the KASABIAN rocker and his bandmates earlier this year (05) and was taken aback by Meighan's behaviour when he would start to merge his sentences into one long monologue. He says, "He is mental. And when he gets too mad, they have to take him to a toy shop to calm him down... I don't know whether I'm supposed to say that. He can hold 20 conversations at the same time. "He was in our dressing room one afternoon, and he's drinking a pint of vodka and Red Bull, and this is before the soundcheck, and in literally one sentence he's going, 'Have you got any f**king Red Bull? Look at that lighter! F**king hell, four for a pound! D'you smoke Marlboro Lights? Birds' fags!' "And apparently whenever he gets like that and he's too mad, they have to take him to Toys 'R' Us. The last time I actually laid eyes on him, he was in our hotel, he was in LIAM's (GALLAGHER) room, but management were s**tting themselves. "Somebody turned up, put him in a cab to take him to Toys 'R' Us in Times Square, calm him down, because of all the flashing lights and he plays with the toys and then he's alright. That's f**king genius, man!" source: contactmusic.com

Oasis rock Millennium stadium -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Millennium Stadium was full of attitude on Saturday afternoon - Liam Gallagher-style. Thousands crammed into Wales' largest venue to see Oasis, who were due on stage shortly after 2100 GMT. Fans who had travelled from across the UK paid homage to frontman Liam, with many sporting his trademark parka coat. Some even walked like him, adopting that unmistakeable swagger, while some others shook tambourines - Liam's instrument of choice when on stage. By 1600 GMT, the stadium's pitch was a sea of faces and most of the seats in the stand had been taken up. Before Oasis though, the crowd was treated to several other top acts. The Foo Fighters were sensational, and worked the crowd up into a frenzy, performing some of their latest hits in a memorable set. Razorlight and the Coral didn't disappoint either, but everyone at the Millennium Stadium's Noise and Confusion gig had come to see the headlining act, Oasis. The band has enjoyed a revival as an act once again to be reckoned with after the launch of their latest album, Don't Believe the Truth. But ironically the fans who packed in to watch roared most when Oasis played tracks from the Britpop era. Live Forever, Cigarettes and Alcohol, which Liam Gallagher dedicated to the memory of George Best, Wonderwall and of course Don't Look Back in Anger, were hugely appreciated by the crowd of 68,500. However one of the loudest cheers of ther night was reserved for a little-known B-side, Masterplan. Oddly though, there was no mention of the Gallager's idol John Lennon, just days after the 25th anniverveary of the ex-Beatles' death. Oasis' set ended with The Who's My Generation, and then suddenly they were gone, leaving with a tongue-in-cheek remark that they'd be in Cardiff's Whispers nightclub later "if you want to join us". source: bbc.co.uk

Noel takes a dig at Jack White -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noel Gallagher of Oasis has accused fellow musician, Jack White from the White Stripes, of selling out after recording a track for Coca Cola. Speaking to the NME Noel explained he’s disapproval by saying... “"He's supposed to be the poster boy for the alternative way of thinking. Coca-Cola man, f***ing hell! And alright, you wanna spread your message of peace and love, but do us all a favour. I'm not having that, that's wrong. Particularly Coca-Cola, it's like doing a gig for McDonalds." source: icwales.com
