LONDON - Die “Kaiser Chiefs” haben eine alte Fede mit “Oasis” wieder aufleben lassen. Mit den Worten, “Wir haben für Noel keine Zeit. Musik ist Kunst, aber er schätzt Musik nicht für das was sie ist!” riss “Chiefs”-Gitarrist Andrew “Whitey” White jetzt alte Wunden wieder auf. Weiter sagte “Whitey”: “Ich bin mir sicher, Noel hat dazu etwas zu sagen. Er hat doch angefangen. Das zeigt doch, was für ein alter, verbitterter Mann er geworden ist.” Und auch Sänger Ricky Wilson pflichtete seinem Band-Kumpel bei. Noel-Bruder Liam Gallagher sagte auf die Attacke der beiden nur: “Die ‘Monkees’ haben sich nie getrennt, sie haben sich nur unter dem Namen ‘Kaiser Chiefs’ zusammengetan.”

Ricky Wilson praises Oasis man for shrewd slagging

Kaiser Chiefs have praised Oasis’ Noel Gallagher – for getting them to do all his work for him.

The band say after the Oasis leader attacked them on the radio recently all they’ve had to do is talk about the Manchester band, a shrewd move by the guitarist.

“He’s really clever because every interview I’ve done in the last week has mentioned Oasis,” Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky Wilson told Chris Moyles on BBC Radio 1. “So I’m answering questions about their new record and he ends up in everybody’s interviews. He is a publicity machine.”

Böse Worte verliert Kaiser Chiefs-Sänger Ricky Wilson da über seine Kollegen von Oasis. Von purer Selbstüberschätzung und Arroganz redet er – und ist dabei keinen Deut besser.

Mag sein, dass die Gallagher-Brüder sich hin und wieder etwas zu wichtig nehmen. Sich selbst mit den Beatles zu vergleichen zeugt schließlich kaum von Bescheidenheit. Ricky Wilson, Frontmann der Kaiser Chiefs sieht in Oasis puren Größenwahn:

“Oasis have disappeared up their own arse. They think they are Led Zeppelin. They’re not.”

Wilson ist allerdings auch kein Kind von Bescheidenheit und beweist in einem Interview, dass er den Gallaghers in puncto Arroganz in nichts nachsteht:

“Music has moved on and I think we are the band that most music fans would see as Oasis’ successor.”

Vom neuen Album der Kaiser Chiefs spricht er natürlich auch nur in den höchsten Tönen und prahlt mit der Tatsache, dass es von Mark Ronson co-produziert wurde.

“He turned down a lot of people to work with us — a lot of big names, who I won’t mention. When he does that to work with us, we must be doing something well.”

Ihre neue Platte wäre außerdem die beste bisher. “I reckon it’s our best stuff yet,” beschreibt Wilson das Album und ist sich damit wohl sicher, die Meinung der meisten Musikfans einschätzen zu können – fehlt nur noch der Vergleich mit den Beatles…

Oasis man speaks after Beatles tribute album

Oasis star Noel Gallagher has revealed which ‘Sgt Pepper’ track they have covered for a Radio 2 special – but he’s not so keen on some of the other artist who have tackled songs from the LP.

Oasis have recorded ‘Within You Without You’ to celebrate 40 years since the release of ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’.

The George Harrison-written song was specially chosen by brother Liam Gallagher, as Noel explained, “I said if Liam wants to do it, I’ll do it, so he was up for it and decided he was going to pick the song. I just assumed he would say ‘A Day In The Life’, but he came back with ‘Within You Without You, and I was, like, ‘What? There’s no guitars on it!’”

The tribute record also features the talents of Razorlight and Kaiser Chiefs.

Speaking of the difficulties the bands faced, recording with the original Abbey Road recording equipment, Noel expressed his opinion on the performances of fellow contemporaries Razorlight and Kaiser Chiefs.

He said: “I was watching Kaiser Chiefs and Razorlight on the documentary and with the greatest respect to those two bands, it was embarrassing. I was embarrassed for them.”

Speaking of why the record is so close to his heart, Noel revealed: “‘Sgt Pepper’ is special for me because I was born on the 29 May, and it came out on the 1 June. So when I was being born in St Mary’s Hospital, Manchester, it was being played on hospital radio.”

The Beatles classic gets a 40th anniversary makeover

Oasis, The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs are to cover songs from The Beatles’ ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ to mark the 40th anniversary of the classic album’s release.

The original album was released on June 1, 1967 and to mark the event the big names will all be covering tracks from the record for a BBC2 special to be aired on June 2.

Razorlight, James Morrison, The Fratellis and Travis are among the other acts taking part.

The BBC reports that Geoff Emerick, the engineer in charge of the original sessions will use the same equipment to record the new versions.

Radio 2 controller Lesley Douglas said: “This will be not only a unique radio event, but a very special musical moment. The range and quality of artists involved ensure that this will be a fitting tribute to one of the great albums of all time.”

There is no news yet on which track the artists concerned will cover.

Kaiser Chiefs lead singer Ricky Wilson apologised to Liam Gallagher for being “rubbish”.

The outspoken Oasis frontman previously branded the Kaiser Chiefs a “bad Blur” and mocked them for wearing make-up.

When Ricky came face-to-face with the wild rocker he said sorry for the state of his group, rather than get embroiled in a war of words.

The ‘I Predict A Riot’ singer told Britain’s Guardian newspaper, “When we met him, I ended up apologising to Liam Gallagher! I said, ‘Sorry we’re so rubbish.’”

Ricky claims the band’s new album, ‘Yours Truly, Angry Mob’, the follow-up to the hugely successful ‘Employment’ is about taking drugs and enjoying the trappings of rock ‘n’ roll success.

He quipped, “Our new album is about being rich and famous and taking lots of drugs, because that’s what we do these days. I’m a big shot now.”

British rockers KAISER CHIEFS have forgiven OASIS star NOEL GALLAGHER for branding them “a bad BLUR”.

The band brushed off the criticism from the outspoken WONDERWALL hitmaker, and all members insist they’re now on good terms with their rock rivals.

Drummer NICK HODGSON says, “We hung out with them in Australia. Noel, especially, is a really, really good laugh.”

Guitarist ANDREW WHITE adds, “Whatever bad things they say about us, they’re only jealous because their album (DON’T BELIEVE THE TRUTH) did f**k all last year. No they’re nice guys and they like us.”

KAISER CHIEFS frontman RICKY WILSON has laughed off OASIS’ claims they are the best band in the world, insisting the newcomers trump the WONDERWALL rockers’ musical standards.

Cocky Oasis brothers LIAM and NOEL GALLAGHER have often declared they are the most popular group internationally, but English rocker Wilson insists they are wrong.

He says, “I still think we’re the best band in the world. Of course we’re better than Oasis. I don’t want to come across as big-headed – Oasis are great – but I wouldn’t be in a band if it wasn’t the best.”

Kaiser Chiefs frontman Rick Wilson has labelled Oasis daft over their alleged decision not to attend The Brits.

The Leeds lad believes that the Mancunians are unreasonable for snubbing The Brits because they didn’t have many nominations.

Wilson said: “It’s daft as fuck they aren’t going to the Brits because they didn’t get lots of nominations. They probably think they’ve been snubbed, but they haven’t. Usually nothing scares Oasis – they are like rock bears. We are just rock hyenas or meerkats.”

In the interview with the Daily Mirror, he said that he was indifferent to fellow five-times Brit nominated James Blunt.

He continued: “Some people love James Blunt and some people hate him, but I just really don’t care. It’s like me being a lawyer or a farmer and being compared to a telesales assistant. I talked to him and we had a right good chat but let’s just say I don’t have any of his records.”

Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party all come in for a tongue lashing

Noel Gallagher has taken his tirade against the current crop of British indie bands Down Under, branding them “indie shit”.

Speaking on Australian radio station Triple J the Oasis guitarist blasted the likes of Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs.

“Let’s call it what it is – it’s indie shit, is what it is,” he said. “None of them are trying to make it big. They’re all trying to make it small or medium – that’s it.

“Don’t get me wrong – I kinda like Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs [but] Bloc Party are just appalling. None of them strike me as trying to be in the biggest band in the world or the best band in the world – it’s just indie rubbish.”

Gallagher also spoke about Oasis’s recent tour with Aussie rockers Jet.

He added: “It was really, really great. We had some monumental gigs and some even more monumental nights in dressing room and nights out on the town – it was really, really good fun.

“The bass player went home with his tail in between his legs, because he was threatening to drink every member of my band under the table – and I quote him on saying that – and he would promptly pass out around midnight.”

Oasis are about to begin a four date tour of Japan before they play six dates in Australia.

They return to the UK in December for a run of sold-out dates including a mammoth show at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.
