As many of you may already know, the Modfather Paul Weller picked up the Godlike Genius Award at last week’s NME Awards. No argument from us; the guy is a legend. No one would agree with us more than Noel and Gem.

Noel recorded a special message for the awards and Gem was asked by Paul to join him on stage to perform as part of his band playing guitar and providing backing vocals.

If you’re not in the UK or didn’t catch the TV broadcast you may have missed the guys so we decided we’d go trawling the interwebs to find you the footage:

HERE’s Noel talking about Paul (approximately 3′20″ in).

And a little later on in the same video Gem performs ‘Start’ and ‘Eton Rifles’ with Weller.

Gem also performed with Paul at his performance at the Haiti Benefit at The Roundhouse on the 25th February. To donate to the charity or find out more about their work, click HERE!

And while we’re on the subject, Gem is not only a killer guitar player he also enjoys dabbling in graphic design and made up an exclusive art print for us. You can check that out HERE!

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’ album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ won the award for the best album of the past 30 years at last night’s Brit Award ceremony at Earl’s Court in London. Liam was on hand to pick up the award.

‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ has sold over 14 million copies worldwide, 4.2 of which are in the UK alone.

The number one album marked the band’s first UK number one single with ‘Some Might Say’ and features live favourites such as ‘Roll With It’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’. It also contains the singles ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’. ‘Wonderwall’, released in 1995, was the band’s 8th single in the space of 18 punch-drunk months that saw the band rise from noisy Manchester lads to the most talked about band in the world. These two songs, amongst so many others, have come to define Noel Gallagher’s ability to write stadium-rousing anthems, something anyone who caught the band live can testify to.

The Brit Award category was voted for online by the public. The category was open to the best-selling, ‘Best Album’ winners from the past 29 Brit Awards to celebrate the Award’s 30th birthday this year.

Oasis would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for them.

Cheers!

His 2007 performance was released digitally last year as ‘The Dreams We Have As Children‘, proceeds from which went to the charity.

Noel told us, “Ten years ago I got a call from Roger Daltry asking me to join him for the first ever concert for Teenage Cancer Trust. It was a proud moment for me as a musician and since then I’ve been honoured to support this amazing charity.”

Other acts set to play this year include The Who, The Specials, Them Crooked Vultures and Arctic Monkeys.

“My current new favourite German band of all time. Proper tour bus music. Spiritual!!”

That was how Noel described the band Neu! this time last year.

Oasis are big fans of Neu! and you can hear their influence on songs such as ‘Falling Down‘ which Noel described as “3 chords, 1 note – Krautpop!!”

So it was nice to read today on The Quietus that Michael Rother – legendary guitarist and founding member of Neu! – praised the Oasis track ‘Can Y’See It Now? (I Can See It Now!!)‘ which was featured on the Neu!-influenced compilation ‘Brand Neu!‘ earlier this year.

“I very much enjoyed listening to that compilation. To be honest, I also quite like the Oasis track. I mention that because I read in some reviews that they got a bit of a beating. It was of course surprising to read that Noel Gallagher expressed his admiration for Neu! and that he convinced his brother to adopt some of the ideas. When I heard that Oasis single ‘The Shock Of The Lightning’, I immediately understood the idea behind that, the fast-forward movement, the strong surge in combination with a Beatles-esque sound. To me that’s an interesting combination, Neu! crossed with Beatles ideas.”

The quote comes from an article due to be published tomorrow at The Quietus which we’re sure will be worth a read.

If you’re unfamiliar with Neu!’s music then you should definitely check them out. Noel’s particular favourite is ‘Hallogallo’ off their debut album, but you can’t really go wrong with any of their albums.

For those of you in the UK who wish to delve a little deeper into the world of Krautrock, BBC4 will be showing a documentary about it this coming Sunday.

Every now and then we here at Oasisinet have a tidy up in the office and try and find our desks again. It’s at times like this that we often stumble upon some really cool stuff that we think you’ll enjoy seeing too. So when we find something good we’ll put it up at the Oasis YouTube page.

This week, we found the EPK for the album ‘Heathen Chemistry‘. As always, the guys were on really good form and it makes for fun viewing – who knew that Henry the Hoover nearly made it on to the album!?

29. August 2009

Dearly beloved, it is with a heavy heart and a sad face that I say this to you this morning.

As of last Friday the 28th August, I have been forced to leave the Manchester rock’n'roll pop group Oasis.

The details are not important and of too great a number to list. But I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable. And the lack of support and understanding from my management and band mates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.

I would like firstly to offer my apologies to them kids in Paris who’d paid money and waited all day to see us only to be let down AGAIN by the band. Apologies are probably not enough, I know, but I’m afraid it’s all I’ve got.

While I’m on the subject, I’d like to say to the good people of V Festival that experienced the same thing. Again, I can only apologise – although I don’t know why, it was nothing to do with me. I was match fit and ready to be brilliant. Alas, other people in the group weren’t up to it.

In closing I would like to thank all the Oasis fans, all over the world. The last 18 years have been truly, truly amazing (and I hate that word, but today is the one time I’ll deem it appropriate). A dream come true. I take with me glorious memories.

Now, if you’ll excuse me I have a family and a football team to indulge.

I’ll see you somewhere down the road. It’s been a fuckin’ pleasure.

Thanks very much.

Goodbye.

NG.

“It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”

“Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan.”

Silent singer users Twitter to apologise to fans

Liam Gallagher has broken his silence after Oasis were ruled out of V Festival yesterday (August 23).

Having played the Staffordshire leg of the event, the band pulled out of Chelmsford after Liam Gallagher caught viral laryngitis.

Using Twitter, the singer apologised to fans and bemoaned his inability to sing.

“The voice may of disappeared but I’m still here,” he wrote. “First things first V I’m gutted, you’re gutted. I’m sorry, what can I say? Fuck all at the moment.”

He added: “Secondly, respect to those bands who covered Oasis last night, even though I might of given some of you shit in the past.”

Snow Patrol, Keane and MGMT all played Oasis covers at the Chelmsford leg of V Festival last night (August 23).

Gallagher also dismissed tabloid speculation that the band were set to break-up.

“Finally reports in smartarses’ column about Oasis last British gig ever,” he concluded. “The kid’s talking out his arse, I mean Rkids, beware of darkness.”

Liam on V Festival

As many of you may be aware, Liam took to his private Twitter page yesterday to apologise for Oasis not being able to play at Sunday’s V Festival and quash tabloid trash about it being the last ever Oasis UK gig:

“The voice may of disappeared but I’m still here.1st things first V I’m gutted your gutted,I’m sorry what can I say fuck all at the moment.”

“Secondly, respect to those bands who covered Oasis last night, even though I might of given some of you shit in the past…”

“Finally reports in smartarses column about Oasis last british gig ever. The kids talking out his arse, I mean rkids, bware of darkness. LG”

V Festival was always scheduled as the last UK gig for this ‘Dig Out Your Soul’ World Tour. Oasis will complete the rest of the world tour in Europe and then take some well-earned time off before they begin to think about the next album and tour.
