Beady Eye in Adelaide

ADELAIDE - Oasis' Wonderwall @ Bonython Park, Big Day Out 2014.
more to add soon.
“Anyone calling this bloke (Liam) a knob or wanker is a dead set clueless and ignorant moron. After the Beady Eye show on Monday he pushed his way through security to get to the fans and hung around for a good 20 minutes signing, chatting and having photos with the fans. In this day and age you don’t get that with most celebs of his stature. Stop reading the headlines on him and have another look at the bigger picture ya tossers. Live forever.”

The one moaning and even insulted his fans because they want autographs is called Noel Gallagher...

Daltrey reunites Oasis

LONDON - half shitty man Noel Hitler Gallagher would say "I'm not doing it not even for starving children" (to sound as the big man he's not, to sell more solo albums). One of the ILLUMINATI masterplans is to reduce the world's population...
Roger Daltrey thinks he could persuade Oasis to reform. The Who frontman, who has announced this year's Teenage Cancer Trust gigs in London, wants to make the 15th anniversary of the concerts in 2015 memorable, by getting brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher to end their feud and take to the stage.
He told The Sun bullshit newspaper: ''Noel and Liam are brothers so it will be alright. Don't worry. Blood is much thicker than music.
''Could I bring them together for a Teenage Cancer show? Ask me next year.''
Roger is friends with the brothers (but it's not a great idea to choose the Teenage Cancer, 'cause money-driven Noel had said he was doing it "for the money only"... typical Noel... for his info and ignorance, it's called charity).
The brothers have barely spoken since a huge backstage bust-up (very publicised by the media darling Noel through the media) ended their band Oasis in August 2009, but they reportedly met up again over the festive season.
Roger's gigs this year, held between March 24-30, will be joined by Noel, Ed Sheeran, The Cure, Paolo Nutini, One Republic and Suede, who are headlining the shows.

(tickets go on sale tomorrow, that's why they come out with this "news"...)

And it's not only the concerts which Roger, 69, is focusing on, as he is planning The Who's 50th anniversary and wants to do something different.
He said: ''We think our next tour will be our last but they won't be our last shows. We want to find a new way.
''Billy Joel is doing five years at Madison Square Garden but he is playing one a month.
''So there are other ways of playing shows than schlepping your body around the world.
''It gets much, much harder at my age!''

Noel Gallagher is an evil eye

2 new videos, one about football (and something about the illuminati shit again... when they asked Noel about the ILLUMINATI, he didn't deny it... Liam always mocked them, even with the name Beady Eye...and writing this song, Evil eye)
..check out the smurf on a stool ahaha Liam would say "stools excite me", lol

and Noel hating Oasis videos

jobs: an exorcist needed - the person taking care of his public behaviour didn't work

Beady Eye Wonderwall in Sydney

SYDNEY - Oasis @ Enmore theatre, Big Day Out. Liam and the band were given a heroic reception from the crowd. One of the highlights of last year’s second album BE, the horn-driven Flick Of The Finger kicked things off in a majestic fashion. The horns coming from somewhere in the ether accentuated the trippiness of the track.
Face The Crowd and Four Letter Word worked as a solid one-two punch of anthemic, blustery rock. Gallagher’s voice – the subject of criticism in the last decade for its deterioration – held up surprisingly well as he sneered his way through the set. The spacey Soul Love exhibited that he has more range than just the throaty growl most would associate with him.

“Anyone calling this bloke (Liam) a knob or wanker is a dead set clueless and ignorant moron. After the Beady Eye show on Monday he pushed his way through security to get to the fans and hung around for a good 20 minutes signing, chatting and having photos with the fans.

Beady Eye in Melbourne

MELBOURNE - Flemington Racecourse, Big Day Out. A cheeky Liam Gallagher dedicated Beady Eye-Oasis' Rock'n'Roll Star to "any Blur fans here". He also gave a shout out to "Melbourne Heart soon to be Melbourne City FC."

With his cropped hair and muscle tee, bore an uncanny resemblance to folk star Jack Johnson.

2014 is a World Cup year... they should plan a tour to Italy this summer :D

Liam @ Australian Open: I like Ana Ivanovic (+video)

MELBOURNE - ahaha Liam Gallagher has been seen trying to serve up an ace during a visit to the Australian Open tennis tournament. The former Oasis frontman kept his beady eye on the ball as he visited the Hot Shots area at Melbourne Park. Gallagher, sporting a noticeably shorter haircut, fended off an array of tennis balls fired towards him at supersonic speed, shielding his face with a tennis racket.
He was later photographed taking in Monday's play at the Grand Slam tournament.
Liam told the official Australian Open website that Ana Ivanovic is his favourite tennis player [we met her last year :]
"I like her, she's cool," he said. "She's just been beat, though. I'm gutted for her, but she's cool."
When asked if he would be supporting Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, Gallagher said that he would instead be backing Roger Federer, who he labelled "mega".
The musician continued: "I'm not that patriotic anyway. I don't care about whether they're from England, Scotland, wherever, I just like who I like, and Federer's the man, 'cause he's cool. He's nearly as cool as me, isn't he?"
Gallagher added that his Beady Eye bandmate Andy Bell is supporting Murray through the tournament, quipping: "He's scared in case he gets caught on the cameras going, 'Wa-hey!'"
He also acknowledged that he prefers watching tennis to playing, saying that he finds it "much less stressful".
Gallagher has been touring Australia with Beady Eye, and the group are headlining the Big Day Out festival during their excursions half the world away.

former Oasis bad boy Liam Gallagher is used to a different racket.

But the British rocker, occasional loudmouth and Beady Eye frontman tried his hand with a tennis racquet at the Australian Open today.
Adept at dodging pot shots from his brother, Oasis co-founder Noel Gallagher [lazy journalist... Noel is NOT a founder of Oasis... they were Liam, Tony, Bonehead and Guigsy... everybody knows Noel joined later, with the songs by the Real People for the first 3 albums, considered the only good ones... Noel is not a founder, he FOUND Oasis, and used them... if you want to use the "co-", use it for Noel's solo songs, co-written with Gem...]
Liam expertly fended off a barrage of tennis balls, all with that rock star glare.
However, Liam has admitted to being injured by a big Noel serve that split Oasis four years.
He told a British website: "I am pissed off but I am getting through it so anything could happen.
As brothers in a band, me and him don't get on.
He's surrounded by idiots and I'm not.
Until he loses a few clowns he'll remain in Idiotville. We'll get over it though."
Beady Eye will perform at the Big Day Out at Flemington Racecourse on Friday.

Noel&Liam on downloading

“I thought that the way people got music for the last 50 years worked? You went to the record shop. You bought the record. You took it home. You played it. You loved it. You went and seen the guys on it live. Everybody lived happilly every after.”
(Noel Gallagher)
what an idiot... No, everybody has no money to buy now, and you're a multi-millionaire...

Noel is money-driven in everything he says. He also told a thousand lies to promote his album... (see list). It's easy to talk like that being a millionaire... the people are not like you idiot.
His blinded fans are, as they consider him a genius (elected without people voting...) ...godlike idiot.
Also, in your language, if you're not dyslexic, it's "happily" and "ever" after... dyslexic or "proud to be ignorant" as he says, or copying songs from everybody, or having someone writing the songs for you...
The people who are no Oasis fans wonder why he's funny in the interviews (built for him, media darling) and his songs are dull... He's just a clown...
That man clearly has some problems of understanding, since he was young and a weirdo he was dyslexic and sluttering... now the abuse of heavy drugs is coming out... The person taking care of his public behaviour is not doing a great work...
For not seeing all the lies he told, all the bullshit he says, etc. he really needed the illuminati mind control techniques...
There's an Oasis secret song his fans don't know, titled : Come Out Of His Stinky Ass.

Of course Liam supports downloading music:
"Downloading’s the same as what I used to do – I used to tape the charts of the songs I liked [off the radio]. I don’t mind it. I hate all these big, silly rock stars who moan (NOEL, moaning about everything) – at least they’re fuckin’ downloading your music, you cunt, and paying attention, know what I mean? You should fuckin’ appreciate that – what are you moaning about? You’ve got fuckin’ five big houses, so shut up."

(Liam)

Gem: Liam is a top bloke

SYDNEY - Interview. Considering Oasis were so ubiquitous in the UK, did you find it hard to carve out a new identity for Beady Eye when you first came together?

Gem Archer: I don’t think we ever thought about having to carve out a new identity, it was more a case of everybody realising that we weren’t going to get back together in one month’s time. We thought when we played our first gig that people would be shouting for the Oasis tunes, but by the time we had recorded the album and were ready to go on the road, it was fully formed.

But being associated with Oasis is inevitable, you can’t run from your own history and Liam’s voice will always be associated with those songs.

When it all unfolded in Paris, was it hard for you personally to come to terms with the fact that Oasis was over?

To put my head in that space again, I think it was a great run, it was ten years of my life spent playing some of the best music all around the world to some of the best fans. I just tried to remember that and I tried to tell myself not to get too greedy, not to hold on to stuff. It’s kinda like *makes sound of bomb dropping from sky* count the good times and just hope there’s more coming. It wasn’t as if Oasis had been around for a year and it was a case of what could have happened. It felt like it was time.

Well there must be many aspects of the transition from Oasis to Beady Eye that have been a joy. You’ve played smaller venues and had a lot more freedom; do you feel like a new band again?

Definitely, but there have been certain challenges we’ve faced as well, like writing a whole new set of material after a career of performing Oasis’s music. It was like hitting the reset button. And we did say at the time that it was a good little spur on, because we stopped resting on our previous achievements.

If you know you’re only going to need two or three songs from your new album when you go on tour then maybe that informs what sort of album you make. But if you said to most bands that on their next album they could only play that material on tour, they would dig down deep inside themselves.

And have you enjoyed playing a bigger role in the song writing of Beady Eye, away from the autocracy of Noel Gallagher?

When Andy and I joined Oasis, Noel was always asking if we had any songs to bring to the band [of course... Noel even made his "solo" album with songs co-written with Gem...]. Although we knew Noel was the writer, he was always very encouraging with all of us, and if we did have any tunes, we’d always demo them.

And so now, we’re still writing the music, but we’ll do one of Liam’s and then we’ll do one of Andy’s and then one of mine and then back to Liam. But we flesh out all the songs together by jamming. Like on Bring The Light, Liam suggested we add more keys, he said he wanted it to sound like The Sex Pistols meeting Little Richard and so Andy (Bell) was just ‘avin it on the keys like a madman, it was a great laugh.

Well both albums have made the Top 5 in the UK [3rd and 2nd in UK, 1st in Scotland] but only one single has broken the Top 40 [Beady Eye published vinyls, for collectors, also in limited edition]. So you’re writing good albums but do you need to write better singles?

Well the charts aren’t what they were and the radio isn’t what it was and the whole thing is ever changing. It’s not the time for guitar music at the moment; it’s a different era. And how do you even calculate it now? All the teenagers are listening to music on Youtube.

Does that carry over to your opinion about critics as well? After so much rhetoric surrounding your former band, do Beady Eye care what the critics think of them?

We do, of course we do. We don’t avoid reading stuff, but we don’t chase it either. As long as they give the record a go, I don’t mean attention, I mean if they properly sit down and find out what we’ve done, then it’s all good. But if it’s just gossipy shit, then you turn the page before the end of the sentence.

What was the conversation like with the band before you started adding Oasis songs to the Beady Eye live show?

It all came about when we were asked to play with The Stone Roses at their comeback gig in Manchester and Liam suggested we play a few Oasis songs. I saw it as being the right place and right time, because it was The Stone Roses that awoke Liam to music as a teenager, it would have been mad for him not to play some of those tunes. From then on there was no discussion about it, because we had our own album and the genie was out of the bottle.

Are there any particular songs from the Oasis canon that you wouldn’t play live?

I don’t think we’d do anything that Noel sang the vocals on. But then again, you never know…

Maybe you could step up to the plate on lead vocals like back in the Heavy Stereo days?

No no no no man, Liam’s the voice of this band.

Do you miss having Noel around?

Yeah of course, we see each other every now and again and we text each other, so it’s not like he’s vanished off the face of the earth. But he was always was great to play next to and to shoot the shit with in the studio.

Well I am a massive fan of The Stone Roses and if you’d said to me a few years ago that I would see them play live in 2013, I would have thought you were crazy. But it happened. So if you were a bookie, what odds would you give me for an eventual reunion of Oasis?

An eventual reunion? Well I’m not a gambling man but the answer is it could happen, so it’s worth a wager.

So what’s the best and worst thing about working with Liam Gallagher?

I couldn’t even say what’s pissed me off, because Liam is Liam and I like Liam. People find it hard to believe because of this public image made by lazy journalists, but he’s a really top bloke. There is not a gig in the world he would turn away from, it could be Madison Square Garden or it could be upstairs in the boozer, it doesn’t matter, he’s unafraid.

Finally, did you notice the irony of replacing Blur on the Big Day Out?

No not really, it was never brought to us as replacing Blur; their cancelation wasn’t even a story over here in the UK. It was brought to us as whether we wanted to go play the Big Day Out and we thought it was a fantastic way to start the new year.

Beady Eye @ Gold Coast

CARRARA - shaved Liam as in 1996-97 (but never performed live with this haircut - only similar in 2009, and seen during Oasis' Be Here Now sessions) now @ Metricon stadium, Big Day Out 2014. Videos and more to add soon

OaSiS in 2016 @ San Siro

MILAN - Some days ago the boss Alan said Oasis could reform in 2016 for Oasis' 25th anniversary (because they were named and formed by frontman Liam in 1991 - first gig on 18 August in Manchester @ Boardwalk), Noel Gallagher joined later (with the songs by the Real People... for the first 3 Oasis albums... considered the only good ones...)
Milan has always been a special city for Oasis, with the first "Beady Eye" gig (Oasis without scaredy cat Noel, 30 May 2000), Pretty Green starting (11 March 2009) and "would have been" Oasis last gig ever in history (30 August 2009, but coward Noel left Liam's band for the 3rd time, 2 days before).
At the legendary San Siro, the stadium of AC Milan the most successful club in history (built by AC Milan president Pirelli... while Inter was playing @ little Arena), many historic but also shitty bands play. It's possible to play there only in June-July (because of football during the year, for not ruining the pitch). Oasis there, would be amazing.

But to have this, Noel, even scared of his own fans, should find some balls.
2016 is also the year of the Champions League final back to Milan (in May), last time was in 2001.

Beady Eye in Auckland

AUCKLAND - They say "Big Day Out better than ever"... of course, because there was Beady Eye :).
They also played the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter, Oasis' Morning Glory and Rock'n'Roll Star, videos and more to add soon.

this photo reminds me of Oasis in Lucca 2002

Liam in Auckland

AUCKLAND - Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is in Auckland for today's Big Day Out festival at Western Springs.
He's hanging out with DJ big brother Paul Gallagher, but it's not clear whether new girlfriend Debbie Gwyther is accompanying him too. The paparazzi are out and eager to snap the lovebirds together for the British tabloids.
The Beady Eye frontman did a spot of lone retail shopping at World Beauty in Ponsonby, while a minder stood at the door. Gallagher bought two Love coffee cups designed by the fashion label for The Village Project, a charity supporting Uganda's water supply.
Later, he stopped for a few pints at inner-city pub The Occidental with a large entourage in tow. He posed with fan Lauren Mcloughlin and waiter Wynne Rhys Jones retaining the all-important expression of apathy, the rock star accessory du jour.
Yesterday morning, he strolled into Parnell sports bar The Paddington with his brother to watch his beloved Manchester City beat Blackburn Rovers.
Liam is touring with eldest brother Paul, 47, a DJ, who professed his delight in being here. "Two Gallagher brothers in Auckland for the first time in 16 years #BDO," he tweeted.
Oasis toured Auckland and Wellington in 1998, apparently smashing up the green room at TSB Bank Arena. The boys were at the top of their game, riding high on money and fame.
Former Oasis manager Alan McGee told a British paper this week he believes the band will reunite in 2016 for their 25th anniversary.

Beady Eye in the sun

SYDNEY - A photo for Noel Hitler Gallagher hating Australians, as he always insulted them (oh that's new eh...)

Here's another interview before Big Day Out.

Ahead of their first ever Australian tour Beady Eye drummer Chris Sharrock reflects on the band’s topsy-turvy year.
2013 was the best of times and worst of times for Beady Eye. Having spent the first part of the year recording their second studio album, BE, with producer Dave Sitek, the band and their new material received a much warmer reception than they did for their debut Different Gear, Still Speeding. Then, a few shows into the start of their album tour, guitarist Gem Archer was hospitalised with severe head trauma after falling down stairs at his home, leading to months of forced inaction and loss of momentum.
With Archer now fully recovered, the band ended the year with an extensive UK tour and as a last minute addition to the Big Day Out line-up as one of the replacements for Liam Gallagher’s former Brit Pop rivals Blur (another sign that Oasis is Beady Eye, not Noel Gallagher...). Ahead of Beady Eye’s debut Australian tour drummer Chris Sharrock (ex-The La’s, ex-World Party +Robbie Williams, and Oasis’ drummer for their last world tour) reflected on the year that was with FL’s Michael Hartt.

It’s just over a month since you were added to the Big Day Out line-up. Was it a nice surprise to get the call-up?
Yeah it was. We didn’t think we were doing anything in January, actually. This came in at the last minute. It was a surprise, “Yeah, we’re going to Australia!” It’ll be good to get some heat and some sun. We’ve always wanted to play Big Day Out. I’ve never played it. I don’t know if the lads have ever played it.

Given the history that’s there, did you have a bit of a chuckle when you found out that you were replacing Blur?
Yeah, yeah. [laughs]. No, not really. That would be in bad taste. It was more like “Oh wow. That’s funny.” We got the irony of it. It’s no big deal, really. That was all a hundred years ago, wasn’t it? We’re just glad to be out, glad to be going somewhere. Especially Australia.

From an outsider’s perspective, 2013 seemed to be a year of mixed results for Beady Eye. The album got good reviews but then Gem got injured. How was it within the band?
It was our annus horribilis [Latin for horrible year]. I mean, we put BE out, we did about 13 gigs [+acoustic shows] and then Gem had that accident. That put us out of the game for three months. I think that’s why it’s been a bit quiet. You’ve got to keep it in perspective though. It’s only music. As long as our mate’s alive and back to full health, that’s all that matters, really. It was a shit thing to happen at a shit time as well, but we’re back on form now.

After the lay-off, how were the shows you did in the UK at the end of the year?
It was great to be back. We had these 10 or 11 UK gigs booked in. We were kind of racing to make sure Gem was better. His timing was pretty good. Although when the accident first happened, we had to cancel a few things in Europe and Japan, it’s great that he was alright for that UK tour. Those gigs have been the best gigs we’ve ever done or so people were saying anyway. It was a positive end to the year.

In the downtime, were you working on new music?
We were probably all working on music individually. There’s probably a few songs going to come out of it. It was mainly just time off. Cooking, washing and cleaning [laughs].

You had an extended line-up of the band when you were first touring BE. Are you bringing that line-up, with the horns section, here?
No, we’re not bringing the horns. The last time I saw the horns was just before Gem’s accident. We didn’t use the horns on this last tour we did. It’s good when we have them. They’ll be there on a keyboard sample so it’ll sound like they’re there [laughs].

In terms of the set list, what can we expect? A mix of both the albums? Other stuff?
I think it’ll be a mix. I don’t exactly know what the set is for this is. It’ll probably be the same as what we’ve been doing at our Brit gigs. It’s a bit of both – heavy on the new album, I’d say. I’d say it’s 60 per cent new, 30 per cent old stuff and 10 per cent some really old stuff.

Including Oasis songs?
Yeah, I think we’ll be probably sticking a couple of them in there. Keep the punters happy.

You toured with Oasis in support of their last album but didn’t get to record with them. Are you disappointed you didn’t get to play on an Oasis album?
Yeah, kind of. It would’ve been nice to do but at the end of the day you think “Well, I did the gigs.” It wasn’t meant to be, I guess. I’ll live with it.

After your visit here, will the rest of 2014 be a touring or writing/recording year for Beady Eye?
A bit of both, I hope. I know that as soon as we finish in Australia we fly home, we’ve got about three days at home then we’re straight off to Europe. It’ll just be a quick change of clothes [laughs]. Then we’re off to Japan as well. I think that takes us up to early March and after that, I don’t know if we’re coming off the road or we’re going to do something or if we’re going to have time off.

You just got announced for Coachella after that too [playing the Sunday night along with Arcade Fire, Beck and Neutral Milk Hotel].
Oh really? We’re going to California? You’ve made my day! I didn’t know we were doing that. News travels slow around these parts.They don’t tell me anything. I’m just the drummer! [laughs]

Big Day Out, Beady Eye win

GOONELLABAH - Blur lose (again), Beady Eye win. The news his band Beady Eye had been added to the 2014 Big Day Out line-up was an early Christmas present for Andy Bell.
The guitarist and his former Oasis band mates Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Chris Sharrock and former Kasabian guitarist (now bass guitarist) Jay Mehler make up the British rock band.
Beady Eye, along with the Deftones and The Hives, received the call-up to replace Blur in what has been a dramatic year for Big Day Out organisers.
"I found out about it on the night of our last gig before Christmas, so it was some good news to take with me to Christmas," Bell told APN.
"I'm very excited ... are you kidding? It's pouring with rain here (in London)."
It will be the band's first live performances in Australia after forming in 2009 following the break-up of Oasis and highly-publicised (by the media darling Noel...) rift between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Beady Eye is just getting back in the groove of live performances after a hiatus late last year caused by the injury of Archer.
The five-piece had been promoting their second album Be, released over the UK summer.
"Really we had just started playing gigs to promote the album, and it immediately got derailed," Bell said.
"Gem fractured his skull and had a broken leg (after an accident at home). We had to stop for two or three months, so we've only really just got back into it.
"We're just grateful that he's fine now.
Tell you what it didn't seem like three months; it seemed like a week.
We were trying on a day-to-day level to stay in touch with the latest on his recovery."
Be was produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, who has recently worked with the likes of Santigold, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and CSS.
"We had a great time making it," Bell said.
"We made some interesting music together with Dave."
Bell, who wrote four songs on the band's debut album, has once again penned several tracks.
The first single off Be, Flick of the Finger, was a collaborative effort amongst the entire band.
Interestingly, Bell said the band members take a Musketeer-type attitude towards their songs.
"We put them into the band and we all share the credit for all of them anyway," he said.
"It does help if you're just working for the best thing for the song rather than your own songs.
"Once you've given the song to the band it belongs to the band."
Oasis fans may or may not hear Beady Eye play any songs from the now-defunct group at Big Day Out.

"We're going to be playing the best tunes off the old album and the new album, and maybe throw in an Oasis song or two if we feel like it," Bell said.
"We have been doing a couple of old classics here and there."

SYDNEY - Beady Eye drummer Chris Sharrock has said that the band found it pretty funny when they were enlisted to replace Oasis’ old Britpop rivals Blur on the Big Day Out lineup.
When asked whether Liam Gallagher and co had a bit of chuckle when they found out they would be stepping in to fill Blur’s shoes on the 2014 BDO lineup, the drummer admitted it was pretty strange. “It was more like ‘Oh wow. That’s funny.’ The irony of it” he explained. “It’s no big deal though, really. That was all a hundred years ago, wasn’t it? We’re just glad to be out and going somewhere. Especially Australia.”
Beady Eye’s first ever visit to Australia will see them play one sideshow on January 27 at The Enmore in Sydney and perform second-last on the “Blue” stage at the BDO nationally – a festival which Sharrock says the band has always dreamt of playing. “We didn’t think we were doing anything in January, actually” he said. “This [opportunity] came in at the last minute. We’ve always wanted to play Big Day Out. I’ve never played it. I don’t know if the lads have ever played it.”
At their recent festival appearances in the UK Beady Eye have been playing a blend of songs off their two releases plus a couple of Oasis songs. Sharrock said that Australian fans can expect much of the same this January: “ I’d say it’s 60 per cent new, 30 per cent old stuff and 10 per cent some really old stuff” he revealed. “ And I think we’ll be sticking a couple of [Oasis covers] in [to] keep the punters happy.”

Seedorf new Milan manager

MILANO - The "son" of Berlusconi, his favourite (yes, black, born from Bunga Bunga parties, lol) is the new Milan manager. Communists hating Berlusconi, they think Berlusconi is racist, because in the comic things he says, he once said his friend Obama is "tanned"... they didn't understand that meant the colour of the skin is not important...
New AC Milan staff "made in Holland" with ex players: Seedorf manager, Stam, Davids, Kluivert, Van Bommel (+Crespo) +Dutch girls :D

Balotelli è stato il capocannoniere dell'intero anno 2013, giocando dal 3 febbraio. Anche i rigori bisogna saperli segnare, visto che persino lui ne ha sbagliati 2. Ma lo sport preferito in Italia è il tiro al bersaglio Balotelli (sport sospeso durante Europei e Mondiali).

Ma si può avere una pagina facebook ufficiale più ridicola di quella dell'Inter? piena di proteste contro l'arbitro, che piangina assurdi. Che stile...
Ovvio che poi il Milan conta 19 milioni di fan, l'Inter 3.
E poi quelli hanno da ridire perchè qualcuno al Milan ha scritto solo un "a mai più" sfuggito per Allegri.
Alvarez: "non abbiamo parlato per tanto tempo"... no, Mazzarri si è lamentato praticamente dopo ogni partita, ovvio che poi gli arbitri non ti danno niente.
Tra l'altro, facendo il calcolo senza gli errori arbitrali, l'Inter avrebbe tipo solo 2 punti in più.
Gianluca Rossi: "Oggi voglio parlare del Milan"... quando mai?
Racconta sempre che ci sono altre cose nella vita oltre al calcio, poi dice che vincere il derby ti fa star bene per mesi, e si è messo pure a contare i giorni... è ossessionato dal Milan, ce l'ha in mente tutto il giorno. E' il solito stratagemma della gente falsa (tipo Noel Gallagher): quando uno vuole nascondere qualcosa di sè stesso, un difetto, ecc. il miglior modo è di mostrarlo, ovviamente dicendo il contrario...
Quando poi c'è Mauro Suma in studio, il Rossi non fa più il brillantone...
Solita ignoranza... "voi scegliete quali trofei contare"...
è un riconoscimento dato ufficialmente dalla Fifa al club più titolato al mondo... certo gli interisti non hanno dimestichezza con queste cose...
si chiamano "trofei internazionali", Champions League, Coppe Intercontinentali, ecc. tutte quelle robe che il Milan ne ha il doppio dell'Inter.
Se lo metta in testa: il Milan non può vincere la Liga spagnola nè quella del Burundi.
Adesso gli sta bruciando il culo perchè il Milan cambia allenatore prima dell'Inter...
Ha poi sempre il testa che "al Milan" dicono che i nuovi acquisti sono tutti campioni... ma CHI dice che uno è "il nuovo Nesta", il Milan o LORO giornalai? L'unico che parla al Milan è Galliani, e non direbbe mai che uno è un campione prima di dimostrarlo al Milan.
Ancora poi sta storia del Milan aiutato coi rigori l'anno scorso, ma (anche Musmarra) sicuri che si ricordano anche il derby completamente rubato dall'Inter, le partite con l'Udinese, la Fiorentina, ecc.?
Questa gente, Chirico compreso (non sapeva neanche che il Milan non poteva pescare il Manchester City nè l'Arsenal), non sa fare il proprio lavoro (tipico degli italiani), non sanno neanche cose basilari da Wikipedia.
Fattore C del Milan? tipo che peschiamo sempre il Barcellona? e l'Ajax e il Celtic sarebbero facili? tipo il Copenhagen e il Galatasaray? ma dai...

Se ci mettiamo noi "4 amici al bar" anche di diverse squadre, faremmo programmi più competenti di quelle buffonate da intrattenimento (ogni tanto qualche personaggio sparisce...)
Che confronto è poi Honda con Nagatomo "che è un difensore e ha segnato di più" ...ma se Honda ha giocato mezz'ora finora?
Quando poi nomina i milanisti che hanno vinto la Champions, conosce uno di nome Kakà o per gl'interisti è fantascienza?
La cosa più bella è sentirli chiacchierare tutto l'anno: "il Milan andrà in serie B", "Milan a meno 20 brrr che freddo", ecc. e poi alla fine arrivare davanti a loro.
Inter fuori pure dalla Coppa Italia, unico obiettivo stagionale, e dovevano puntare al campionato "perchè avevano solo quello"...
non a caso si chiamano "baüscia"! chiacchieroni!

Adesso Rossi è d'accordo con lo scambio Vucinic-Guarin, dimostra di non capire una mazza di calcio... l'unico giocatore buono dell'Inter, l'unico che ha mercato per monetizzare, per uno rotto, più vecchio e discontinuo, attaccante che al massimo fa qualche gol.

Lo hanno accusato di non rispettare i veneti, e lui ha detto che non è vero, poi si è messo a fare le distinzioni tra veneziani e veneti, ah beh allora i veneti li rispetta...

Pretty Reckless - Oasis

MILAN - 28 March in Milano @ Magazzini Generali.
sexy Taylor Momsen hopes to reunite Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. "They are the best and just get it and know all the words. I am just their biggest fan and I want to support them one day on tour, so I hope they come back", she said when she was 17 (3/4 years ago). nah we were already their biggest fans 20 years ago... when she had her nappies changed.

covering Oasis' Wonderwall - Liam how are you dressed today? *_*

Supersonic - a Liam dressed with sexy stockings? lol

Beatles BeadyEye 68-2013

LONDON - On 15th July 1968 The Beatles went in to Abbey Road studios and recorded the first take of a new John Lennon song, Cry baby cry.

Beady Eye @ Coachella

COACHELLA - Liam Gallagher's band Beady Eye is heading to America in April to play at the 2014 Coachella Festival.
Cheshire band The 1975 will also cross the Atlantic to perform at the spring music and arts event.
Both acts will play at the California festival on the final day Sunday, April 13 and 20 (also Arcade Fire, Lana Del Rey, etc.)
They join a stellar line-up including a plethora of British acts including Calvin Harris, Pet Shop Boys, Fatboy Slim, Ellie Goulding, Disclosure with and Muse both headlining the event.
Among the British acts are Pharrell Williams, Outkast and rockers Motorhead, MGMT and Queens of the Stone Age.
The 1975 were in Manchester this week for a mini residential at Manchester Academy as part of their UK tour.
Former Oasis frontman Liam and his band head to New Zealand on tour later this month, before moving on to Australia (Big Day Out festival), and dates at venues across Europe.
Coachella runs over two weekend in April and brings together art and music in the California valleys.

Liam-Noel: PEACE !

KILDARE - Big news. Probably it's all planned by the media darling Noel to sell more albums... hoping the hardcore Beady Eye-Oasis fans will buy it... Not.
As anticipated, Liam and Noel Gallagher have reportedly ended their feud, after meeting up at a family wedding. The brothers have barely spoken since a huge backstage bust-up ended their band Oasis in August 2009, but the pair recently met up at a family wedding in Ireland and buried the hatchet and are now even planning to open a bar together with their beloved mother Peggy.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: ''Liam initially came up with the idea after a recent trip to Manchester with his mum Peggy (see also the old post about Liam buying a pub).
''Then between them they thought Noel should also be brought on board.
''The brothers are thinking about an indie rock-themed place which serves artisan food.''
The pair plan to call their bar 'Champagne Supernova' after the Oasis anthem - which was included on the band's seminal album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?' - of the same name and hope to finalise their deal at an underground venue close to the Deansgate and Spinningfields area of Manchester.
The insider added: ''The brothers are consulting their famous friends such as Russell Brand and Holly Willoughby for advice on the venue.
''They reckon a hot new bar could bring them together again.''
While the business move doesn't mean Oasis will be getting back together, the group's original guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs - who left the band in 1999 - recently predicted a musical reunion will happen eventually.
He said: ''If someone said, 'Here's a field, here's a stage and here's 200,000 people,' I'm sure Liam would jump up and do it, and I don't think it would even take anyone offering him a massive bankroll of money. He'd do it because that's what he loves, that's his passion.''
Since the super-group disbanded Liam started new band Beady Eye, while Noel has embarked on his own "solo" project (with a band and discarded songs taken from old sessions, co-written with Gem).

There are still two headliner spots at Glastonbury who haven’t been announced yet...

the Kinks reunion 2014

LONDON - Before the battling Gallagher brothers in Oasis, there were the fighting Davies of the Kinks.

Over the last few years, there have been numerous reports of a Kinks reunion but they have always been shot down by either Ray or Dave Davies. That may change as the 50th anniversary of the band approaches as British magazine Uncut talked with Ray.
In their latest edition, Ray said "It's as close as it's ever been to happening."
Dave added "We got together in August (2013) and the first few days were beautiful. We went up the pub and had a few Guinnesses, and we were talking about all kinds of shit, the old days and what-ifs. I said to Ray I thought that it'd be a great shame if we don't try and do something. I think it's time reality took over."
Original bass player Pete Quaife died in 2010, leaving the two Davies brothers and Mick Avory as the surviving members. Avory is interested in the possibilities "I think it would be nice to do something all together. Because the chances are diminishing as we talk. Hopefully me, Dave and Ray can meet before it happens. We'd have to knock our heads together and rehearse, if we meant to do it properly. We haven't played together for God knows how long."

mesmerizing mermaids

new compilation (using film soundtracks as Andy :), sirens, hypnotizing songs and other female voices (with also female Noel - usually singing in falsetto to reach the high notes... he's good for backing vocals only... as he said, he's no singer... to sound humble and honest, the opposite of what he is)...Probably the illuminati made him use that "I can see it now" song (also with sirens), to hypnotize the media and blinded fankids... in fact we often notice they're brainless.

Fiona Apple covering the Beatles (Across the universe) and Amy Winehouse (who also covered Oasis). Liam loved the film Pirates of the Caribbean 4

funeral compilation

new compilation (The Verve, Ennio Morricone, Paul Weller, Oasis, Harry Nilsson, etc.) dedicated to Noel Gallagher hating the Smashing Pumpkins, Elton John, Michael Jackson, etc. basically everybody, you fankids too, he will get a right punishment

Royal Albert Hall, London, Great Britain

2000, Twin Towers down there... before September 11... on the single "Sunday morning call" there was New York with a fallen glass... New York City skyline from the rooftop of the Rockefeller Center. The album's title was taken from the words made famous by Sir Isaac Newton: "If I can see further than anyone else, it is only because I am standing on the shoulders of giants". Noel saw the quote on the side of a £2 coin while in a pub and liked it so much he thought it would be a suitable name for the new album. He then wrote the name on the side of a cigarette packet while drunk. When he awoke in the morning, he realised he had written "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants", not "shoulders"

"La musica non ha mai spostato niente, neanche negli anni '60, ai tempi del Vietnam. Il rock incide nel look, negli atteggiamenti, ma non nella politica. Forse conoscendolo Lennon era un cretino, non ci sarei andato d'accordo e l'avrei odiato. La gente parla troppo della sua vita, del pacifismo e così via, quello che mi interessa sono solo le sue canzoni.

E se qualcuno organizza una marcia contro la guerra, io preferisco andare al parco con mia figlia".

(Noel Gallagher, Oasis)

=
Music never moved anything, not even in the '60s, at Vietnam times. Rock influences look, attitudes, but not politics. Maybe knowing him Lennon was an idiot, I wouldn't got on well with him and would have hated him. People speak too much of his life, pacifism, and so on, I'm interested only in his songs.

And if anybody organizes a march against war, I prefer going to the park with my daughter.

..... vote for Noel Prime Minister: 1) a good politician is a rich one, 2) more police on the streets

Seguo gli Oasis dall'inizio, dal 1994 (da quando c'è lo zio Silvio in politica ahaha), il Britpop iniziava a conquistare il mondo, e in Inghilterra noi 16enni-17enni compravamo cd con una certa canzone appena uscita che diceva proprio: Mister Sifter sold me songs when I was just 16...

..... Rockin' chair , my favourite song ever.
Video with a final surprise at the end...........
I played this song till my fingers bled.
The shape of England is not so different from Italy one.
Notice the images and the turtle as my turtle Alberta in "I'm older than I wish to be" :) (and the turtle then is also on Noel plectrum, he played with it, I played with it).
And yes, that pier in Weston-super-Mare was burnt. And Oasis are over now (definitely maybe).
For going around we were still using a tour bus, and as it was our first time there, we had a big surprise when a bus full of British people overtook us, all of them smiling and waving their hands but suddenly they turned and showed us their arses ahahaha

2009. I was at 3 Oasis gigs in 1 month, even climbing the Italian Alps, highest European mountains, and arriving first in Switzerland, my last Oasis gig, seen it on the front row in front of Noel winking an eye at me ;) (and Glasvegas did the same) playing as in room for me and two Swiss birds lol, the "veline" :))

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. And in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'".
(Jack Kerouac)

mad fer it !!!

"Italy why always you?! what is it with you Italians? why do you seem to 'get it' more than anyone else? it's a constant source of fascination for me"
(Noel)

"I'm currently in Milan. Its been fucking wonderful...it always is. It's fair to say The Italians love me and long may that continue 'cause I love them right back...the beautiful bastards.
The gig was amazing, the kind of gig you'd never want to end. Easily my favourite so far."

(Noel)

"L'Italia è la casa spirituale degli Oasis.

I ragazzi italiani sono come me, molto passionali.
4 elementi li contraddistinguono: il calcio, la musica, la famiglia e l'amore per l'eleganza. I miei amici italiani sono dei fighi, indossano vestiti e scarpe stupende, sciarpe favolose, occhiali da sole anche di notte e donne bellissime al loro fianco. Beh, sono considerato una figura santa in Italia. E' Milano... l'Italia è grande amico, cazzo se mi piace andarci".

(Noel)

Italy is Oasis spiritual home.

Italian boys are like me, very passionate.
4 elements mark them: football, music, family and love for elegance. My Italian friends are cool, they wear wonderful clothes and shoes, fabulous scarves, sunglasses even at night and beautiful women by their side. Well, I'm considered quite a holy figure in Italy, It's Milan... Italy's great man, I fucking love going there.

"Milano è il miglior fottuto pubblico, e lo dico davvero!".

(toccandosi il cuore)

(Liam)

Milan is the best fucking crowd, and I really mean it!

(touching his heart)

"Milano è una città bellissima. Molta gente pagherebbe per stare qui. Non vado quasi mai a fare shopping, quello che mi piace di Milano è la gente".

(David Beckham, Ac Milan, Oasis friend)

Milan is a beautiful city. Many people would pay for staying here. I almost never go shopping, what I like in Milan is the people.

"We get chatting to Marco who was around for Paolo Nutini arriving and had given him a quick hand shake then sloped off, (you know how cool guys like to play it), he is really a Brit Indie lad at heart trapped inside the body of an Italian guy, his taste in music is fabulous. The tempo was troppo caldo (too hot weather), the Duomo is breathtaking to say the least. Milano women are ridiculously stylish and fabulously slim, gorgeous beings. He shaped my pizza into a love heart. Italian men are so smooth!"
(Jacq)

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

"I've got the pre-emption over anyone proud boastin' music royalties about you :). When you told me to be not so good, I thought you were just humble. Now, on the contrary, I think you're a famous incognito singer, determined to cheer up the world with your voice, for free".
(Selene)

"nice jacket"

(Liam embracing me)

London->Milan, November 2009, with Milan legend Paolo Maldini

..... love the welcome ahahahaha with a Milan Lambretta behind... waiting for a PG shop in Milan.

In the same days: new AC Milan shop in Milan

..... the centre of the world.

Milan Expo 2015 Masterplan, the new zone where Oasis had to perform their last concert in history... before the "break" of 5 years... we're all part of a Masterplan... (the music is the anthem of North Italy, capital city: Milan, of course, titled "Va pensiero - sull'ali dorate", "Go, thought - on golden wings", by Verdi).

A new Milan part with strange skyscrapers is gonna be called 'City Life'.

In his 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere', Noel refers to Italy as the bands’ 'spiritual home' and anyone who has been to an Oasis gig in Italy will know why. It’s fitting that Oasis have chosen Milan to stage the final show...

(from the official site )

Milan, not Rome. Against Rome:

"Domani, be' cos'è domani? Lasciamo che Roma si dissolva nel Tevere! E che il grande impero crolli! Questo è il momento; i regni sono fatti d'argilla".

(Oasis, What's the story book)
