Noel Gallagher: ‘I’ll Reunite Oasis for Half a Billion Pounds – or condoms, or tea bags, or noodles’

I like Noel Gallagher, and I like Liam Gallagher. They’re awesome artists and all… but Oasis is just Oasis – it’s bigger than the sum of its parts. But due to their huge egos and inherent misunderstandings, they’re split… and split they will stay – or will they? Noel Gallagher joked that he would reunite Oasis for half a billion pounds – or half a billion anything, for that matter. “I was in the newsagent…

(Semi-legitimate) study: Nickelback not helpful in getting you laid

So, for all the shit that I’ve given Nickelback over the years, apparently it has been warranted – at least a little bit.  A blog calling itself Tastebuds.fm has named the Canadian rockers the “number one musical turnoff.” Tastebuds, a similar site to Last.fm, did their research thusly: Each user was allowed to specify up to 12 acts that turned them off. Nickelback – regularly lambasted by the music press – came out on top…

Noel Quits, What Next For Oasis?

Noel Gallagher has quit Oasis after finally getting sick of his brother Liam’s antics. Minutes before playing the Rock en Seine festival in Paris the two brothers had an altercation and their performance was cancelled. Fans were left waiting for the band before being informed that they would not appear via the stages adjoining screens. This latest fight ended up with Liam apparently smashing one of Noel’s guitars. For Noel, it seems, this was the…

Download: Oasis – ‘(Get Off Your) High Horse Lady’ (Devendra Banhart remix)

It’s curious how Devendra Banhart went around mixing Oasis, if you consider the later is a band that’s more into dance strings, while Banhart’s music is as weird and inaccessible per he is talented. Nevertheless, Banhart was given the opportunity to remix any Oasis track of his choosing from the 2008 LP “Dig Out Your Soul,” with a permit from the band itself, in the end preferring to give a go to the chilly, down…

Liam Gallagher: ‘I’d make Noel’s attacker eat his own dick’

Ok, this is officially Oasis’ week. Everywhere I go, every blog, every podcast, mentions somewhere Oasis or the Gallagher brothers. Some part of me feels they deserve the hype, because this latest album is rock solid, a true comeback. However, the other part of me feels like this getting a bit overpretencious. Anyway, I laughed my ass off when I saw this heading on NME. Basically, in the article Liam Gallagher, one of the band’s…

Noel Gallagher is planning a solo LP

I don’t know if Noel Gallagher’s recent bump to the head affected his judgment or anything, but just recently he announced he’d like to release a solo album soon. His first one, as far as my humble knowledge is concerned (and Google’s of course). Furthermore, the Oasis singer/songwriter said he’d like all four members of the band to releasing their own stuff, as soon as their latest effort, “Dig Out Your Soul,” gets out and,…

Oasis frontman attacked on stage at Toronto’s Virgin Festival [video]

Haha, you gotta give it to those Canadians, they really know how to crash a party. During Oasis’ set on last night’s Toronto Virgin Festival, right in the middle of “Morning Glory,” a dude from the crowd came from out of the nowhere and put a good shuv on Noel Gallagher, causing him to fell off the stage. The band took some good 10 minutes to recover and then returned to complete their set. In…

Noel Gallagher speaks about P2P and Internet Piracy

Noel Gallagher, the Oasis lead guitarist, semi-frontman and overall douche-bag, paid Zane Lowe a visit the other day, at the latter’s BBC Radio 1 show which he moderates. There, Noel talked about Jay-Z’s response to the Glastonbury scandel, as he listened to the Oasis dis song Jockin’ Jay-Z for the first time,’ stupid informed journalists who ask him about his latest album being leaked and also rudely jokingly encourages people to rip off other’s people…

New Oasis video: ‘The Shock of the Lightning’

I wouldn’t go as far as saying the new Oasis album will be of biblical proportions, but I definitely believe it’s gonna rock and prove to be a hell of comeback, after two, let’s say, disappointing albums. After the strikingly good Falling Down (sorry, crew, but you’ve put out some crap lately), the band’s now released “The Shock of the Lightning,” a song even better then the previous, reminiscing the golden age of “Definitely Maybe,”…
