Singer thinks the band and football club’s fortunes are linked

Liam Gallagher has joked that the fortunes of Oasis and his beloved Manchester City football team are linked.

The singer pointed out that the team seemed to do badly when the band were at their peak – and now that Oasis have split things look much better on the pitch.

“When Oasis were doing well, City were doing shit,” Gallagher told the Daily Mirror. “But now we’ve split, City are doing good. Maybe there’s some good times ahead with City, and that’ll take the pain of the band splitting off a bit.”

Manchester City romped to a 4-2 away win against Chelsea on Saturday (February 27), while Gallagher is expected to make his musical comeback with former Oasis members later this year.

NOEL GALLAGHER is consulting his lawyers over an article in today’s News of the World attributing derogative remarks about his former band members to the Oasis songwriter. Yet again this tawdry tabloid is fabricating lies about ex-members of Oasis, and has clearly sunk to new depths this time.

In today’s paper they write that Noel has made derogatory comments about Liam’s new band (which they still insist on referring to as Oasis, another of their many errors). The claims made in the article and the quotes attributed to Noel are simply untrue. What’s more, we have learned that the article was written by the same hack journalist who brought fans the ‘exclusive’ that Liam had recruited a female bass player recently. The woman named in that article, who’s actually a fan website editor, embarrassed the newspaper with a categorical denial within hours of the story surfacing.

Oasis man hits back at Brit Awards host over ‘knobhead’ gag

Liam Gallagher has hit back at Brit Awards 2010 host Peter Kay for calling him a “knobhead” at last night’s (February 16) ceremony.

Kay criticised Gallagher after he had left the stage following his speech for winning the Brit Album Of 30 Years award for the 1995 Oasis album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory’.

Writing about the comment on his Twitter.com/liamgallagher account, Gallagher chastised the Bolton-born comic for not insulting him to his face.

“Listen up fat fuck,” he wrote. “As a real northerner I was brought up 2 say shit 2 people’s faces not behind their back. Live forever LG“

Gallagher had an eventful night at the Brits. As well as picking up his award – which he threw into the audience – the singer also gave an insightful backstage interview where he insinuated that somebody else at the awards had had an argument with him. He was then heard saying that he wanted to get “loads of class A drugs” as the interview ended.

Ex-Oasis-Frontmann Noel Gallagher hat angekündigt, bei dem Prozess gegen seinen Rippenbrecher Danny Sullivan persönlich vor Ort sein zu wollen. Die kanadische Staatsanwältin Ruth Kleinhenz teilte dem Gerichtshof in Ontario mit, dass Gallagher von dem Recht Gebrauch machen wolle, persönlich vor Ort seine Zeugenaussage zu Papier zu bringen. Daraufhin beschwerte sich der Verteidiger des Angeklagten Sullivan. Man solle Gallaghers Anfrage fallen lassen, damit er nicht den Verhandlungsverlauf durch seine Anwesenheit beeinflussen könne. Diese Beschwerde wurde aber abgewiesen. Nun wird ein Termin gesucht, an dem Gallagher Zeit hat, damit er persönlich vor Gericht stehen darf.

Hintergrund: Im Herbst 2008 stürmte Sullivan bei einem Auftritt in Toronto auf die Bühne und brach Noel drei Rippen. Nach dem Zwischenfall mussten Oasis fünf Konzerte absagen. Im November 2009 wurde Sullivan bereits für schuldig befunden, nun steht die Gerichtsverhandlung an, zu der Gallagher, der mittlerweile aus Oasis ausgetreten ist, als Zeuge geladen ist. Zur Zeit plant Gallagher seine ersten Solo-Auftritte.

Schon im Juli will Liam Gallagher ein Album mit seiner neuen, alten Band rausbringen. Sich von dem Namen Oasis zu trennen, bereitet ihm keinerlei Probleme.

“Ich bin froh, den Namen nur noch von hinten sehen zu müssen!”

Noch im Dezember vergangenen Jahres sagte Liam er könne sich vorstellen, seine neuen Songs unter dem Namen “Oasis” zu veröffentlichen. Das dementierte er nun wehement und redete Klartext. In einem Interview gab das ewige Lästermaul zu, dass er den Bandnamen Oasis schon immer doof fand und seine neue Truppe definitiv unter einem anderen Namen auftreten wird.

“Nein, es wird nicht Oasis sein, das war sowieso ein scheiß Name. Ich bin froh ihn nur noch von hinten sehen zu müssen!”

Mit dem neuen Namen wollte Liam aber partout nicht rausrücken. Er sagte lediglich:

“Es gibt da einen Namen, den wir in Erwägung ziehen, aber im Moment konzentrieren wir uns einfach auf die Musik und gucken, wie’s läuft.”

Auch sein Bruder, Noel Gallagher, ist derweil nicht untätig und wird im März seinen ersten post Oasis Gig spielen. Wir dürfen gespannt sein, was man von den Gallagher Brüdern in Zukunft auf die Ohren bekommen wird.

Plus singer regrets the band’s ‘poor’ workrate

Liam Gallagher’s new band are aiming to release an album by July.

The singer says that his new group – featuring former Oasis bandmates Andy Bell and Gem Archer – had eight songs, and are aiming to head into the studio soon.

“A lot of these songs I wrote before the band [Oasis] split up,” Gallagher told XFM. “I mean, there’s a few new ones on there that are coming out now.”

He added: “We’re going in [the studio] in April with a producer, we’re going to do three songs with him and if he doesn’t balls it up and we don’t balls it up then we’ll go in and do the whole album with him.”

Gallagher suggested he was keen to get on with the new, still nameless group – saying he regretted the fact that Oasis only made seven albums in the 16 years they had a record deal. He called the amount of music Oasis’ put out in their career “poor”, and chastised the band for taking so long to produce new material.

“Seven albums for Oasis is not good, I don’t think. We’ve been going 18 years, 16 years or whatever and all we’ve done is seven albums. Ian Brown’s on his seventh solo album. I just think it’s poor, really,” Gallagher said.

“I’m not going to beat myself up about it, I think we should have made better, bigger albums. Or more albums. Having like four or five years off is just no good,” he added. “Obviously NoelGallagher) wanted a bit of time off and we don’t. The band split in August – we was in the studio in November ‘cos we’re mad for it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Gallagher said he wants to appear on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here or Total Wipeout – but only if no other contestants are involved.

“I’d like to do all that shit,” he said, before adding that Total Wipeout is his favourite reality TV programme of the moment. “They do it in Argentina. I’d love to do it on my jaxy, with no one about.”

Louise Davies not playing bass for Gallagher

Oasis fan Louise Davies has denied tabloid claims she is to join Liam Gallagher’s new band.

A newspaper report on Saturday (January 9) implied that Davies, who runs Oasis fan site Stopcryingyourheartout.com, had been recruited to play bass in the band.

Writing on Stopcryingyourheartout.com, Davies denied the story, saying: “A story has appeared today in the News Of The World falsely claiming that I’m joining Liam Gallagher’s new band, and to start recording later this month at Abbey Road studios. Where they get there information from is beyond me.”

Gallagher has previously confirmed that he is to work on new material with former Oasis bandmates Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Jay Darlington and Chris Sharrock, though the band will be joined by an as-yet-unnamed bassist.

Modfather says he’s not picking sides

Paul Weller has said that he believes that Oasis splitting has been a good thing – and told NME.COM that he would be happy to work with both Noel and Liam Gallagher.

The Jam’s former frontman said that he liked both the Gallaghers “equally” and would not pick sides because of the split.

“Creatively, I think the Oasis split is going to be good thing,” he said. “There’s going to be some great things to come from both of them in the future. I’d definitely be up for collaborating with Liam and with Noel. I love them both equally, and think they’re both extremely talented in their own ways.”

Weller is set to return with his own album in the spring which features contributions from My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields. He will also play a residency at London’s Royal Albert Hall in April.

Singer speaks out at the Manchester launch of his clothing line

Liam Gallagher has spoken out about his love for his brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel.

Talking at the launch of his Pretty Green clothing line at the Manchester branch of Selfridge’s today (December 2), the singer revealed his feelings towards Noel, despite previously saying that he had no interest in speaking to him again.

“He’s doing his thing, we’re doing our thing, I wish him all the best,” Liam told Sky News. “I don’t wish him any bad, I’m his brother. I love him to death.” He added, but did warn Noel by saying “Don’t release it [Noel's solo album] the same day, ‘cos we’ll ave ya.”

Asked whether he had a message to pass onto his brother, Liam cheekily said: “Good luck mate – see you in the next world. Don’t be late!”

As previously reported, Liam said his new band “May still be called Oasis“, but he did reveal that they had been thinking of a new name.

“We’re sorta going through the mill of getting a new name, nothings sticking, so we’ve drawn the line on the names at the moment.” He explained. “People are still gonna go ‘Its still Oasis, but its not Oasis without Noel‘ – life’s too short to be arsing about with what people think and that. We’ll see what happens, we’re concentrating on the music at the moment.” He added.

As well as promoting his new clothing line, Liam recently announced that his new band had “Got a bit of studio time booked after Christmas”.

Daniel Sullivan admits causing bodily harm

The man accused of attacking ex-Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher in Toronto last year has pleaded guilty to assault.

Daniel Sullivan admitted causing bodily harm to Gallagher in the Ontario Court of Justice yesterday (November 20).

“Sullivan managed to make his way up to the main stage area, run past the electrical chords set up along the stage, pass the drum kit and lunge toward Noel Gallagher, shoving him violently from behind with great force,” said Crown attorney Ruth Neilson in reading an agreed statement of facts to Justice Richard Schneide.

The court heard Sullivan almost made it to Liam Gallagher, but was tackled by security and was taken to the ground on stage.

He was then held backstage and police said Sullivan was resisting, struggling and screaming as he was arrested. Officers tried to calm him down.

Gallagher was attacked at the V Festival in Canada on September 7 2008.

He suffered three broken ribs, causing the band to cancel a slew of gigs.

Neilson said Sullivan was intoxicated at the time and has no recollection of how he was able to mount the stage, except that he “remembers attempting to climb over the fence”.

Noel Gallagher stated it took eight months before he felt normal again, reports the Toronto Sun.

Schneider ordered a pre-sentence report for Sullivan. His sentencing hearing will begin on February 5, 2010.
