Noel in Milan bootleg day 2


MILAN - Second day bootleg to download here (email me for the password, it's the same one you asked me), also first time live for The death of you and me, main song, according to Noel. He said these are his best songs

alternative night for November 28, Halloween, Hollywood, Celtic, Pumpkins

MILAN - More events for the next period. Some people won't attend Noel Gallagher's gig in Milan because they didn't find any more tickets. Or decided to avoid him as I did. But of course it's not their fault, it was Noel deciding to play small venues, as Beady Eye did. Anyway, the crowd will be of about 2,500 people only.
The same night in Milan the Smashing Pumpkins play @ Mediolanum Forum, and they could do 12,500 people.
‎"I blame it on the changing of the seasons, the thoughts that I convey"... (Oasis, Roll it over). It still feels like summer but we're going towards autumn, sadness, "death (of you and me").
So while they'll be enjoying his unmissable gig (I'm ironic :)... by the way: he now said he's performing even 8 Oasis songs! thanks but no thanks), we're probably going to the Pumpkins (mega pogo), though the last albums were rubbish.
But "I like you, the old one..."
They'll also play on 29 in Padova.
I think Noel probably hates the Pumpkins... good, so we're going, lol.
Oasis now are Beady Eye, not a sad memory played acoustic by Noel only.
End of October: Celtic "New Year's Eve" fairground, Capodanno celtico, @ Castello Sforzesco (Sforza castle), with music, dancing, etc.
(free event). The city of Milan was founded by Celtic people (not Roman people as some say thinking about "Mediolanum"). The ones who like Ireland will find interesting this event. And I couldn't forget something about Oasis :), as the Gallaghers have Irish origins.
31 October: Halloween, as usual I'll cook a superb Milan risotto sweet pumpkin rice :). This summer we were preparing pumpkins in the country house, as an ant preparing for the winter :)
(free event) and of course there'll be a party @ Hollywood club.
model: Alena www.alenafashion.blogspot.com
I had made some Pumpkins covers by guitar and piano on YouTube, I will upload them again.

in Milan, piazza Duomo cathedral square, Bee Gees cover, Beady Eye love them

"it's you that I adore, you'll always be my whore"

as every year, this post is dedicated to the memory of Valentina Giovagnini, a (not so famous) Italian singer who loved Celtic stuff, she died in a car accident. Song: "Caressing barefoot the grass on Donegal hills"

her best song

now also Noel Gallagher is doing this kind of stuff again

"...and the embers never fade, in my city by the lake, the place where I was born". 
Smashing Pumpkins' Chicago and Milan are two "sister cities"

this girl is sick :) and she rocks (Noel doesn't anymore)

‎"so I pull my collar up and face the cold - on my own" ...so many memories


"...you and I should meet"

happy birthday Presidents, 2000 goals

MILAN - Today's the birthday of our 2 Presidents: Oasis "president" Alan McGee, 51 years old, and Milan-Italian (conservative) president Silvio Berlusconi (75, but flirting with young girls... absolute idol against moralism). The gift for him was last night when his AC Milan won vs Czech Viktoria Pilsen 2-0 in Champions League with Cassano scoring the goal number 2,000 since he's president (1986, that is 25 years, becoming the most winning president in history).
He's a great fan of popular music, of course the Beatles too, and he was also singing love songs on some album by Mariano Apicella from Naples. Alan sign him up :).
Noel Gallagher took part to a film produced by him and said the best politician is a rich one.
But Alan quit the music world. The Wikipedia says he joined The Sun's campaign against Labour and in favour of the Conservatives, contributing an article to the October 1, 2009 edition of the paper in which, in a significant new development from his previous attacks on New Labour, he praised England Conservative leader David Cameron.

Yesterday hundreds of Czech fans have been blocked, got the DASPO penalty (they can't attend events here for some years) and sent back home by the police because they were drunk and had knives, as if they could bring them. Reminded me of french Manu Chao idiot who said Italy is dangerous because police don't allow you to take drugs around.
Noel Gallagher would say: fucking idiots, more police on the streets.


song called "29 September", written in 1967 by a famous Italian singer from last century, Lucio Battisti. In Italy he used to be as important as the Beatles in England. He died in Milan in 1998.

new song from Noel: copying the Italians

"I'd pick you every time" preview of the b-side from If I had a gun.

Noel Gallagher vs Pino Daniele, lol plagiarism, nothing new about Noel. 
Not only copied from this one... also "Summer in the city", "Sunday afternoon" and "The importance of being idle"...

ill Button's great race thanks to Italian pasta

SINGAPORE - Jenson: "I was ill yesterday morning (the day of the race). I don't know where it came from, but when you do have it you're massively dehydrated. I was a kilo and a half lighter than I normally am in the morning, and putting that weight back on was quite difficult. So I 'Immodiumed' up, ate a lot of PASTA because carbohydrates help you soak up liquid and drank a lot of salty water drinks. So I was good by the race, I managed to get my weight back up, and I got through it.”
Italian pasta always works.
I could win a bottle of F1 Scotch whisky thanks to the Scotsman Paul Di Resta (some Italian origin) driving a quite weak Force India, 'cause I bet he would've finished 5th (and that would've been an incredible result). During the race he was unbelievably 3rd (!), and also 5th for a lot of time, so I was already feeling the taste of whisky on my Salamander tongue :) ...but at the end, guess who finished 5th? My NOT beloved Hamilton... I was disappointed, a bottle doesn't worth much but I wanted to win that as a trophy for something difficult to guess. He finished 6th...

www.mclarenitaly.blogspot.com

McLaren's Vodafone Italy now chose Oasis' Whatever as music for their commercials... pity that in Italy the Vodafone Adsl doesn't work well even in the centre of Milan...

consiglio: evitare l'adsl Vodafone Italia e vodafone station-fornello elettrico, non funzionano persino in centro a Milano

Noel in Milan day 2: I adore Balotelli, I'd like to meet him, he's a good boy

MILAN - Here you can download the  mini-bootleg of the acoustic session for RTL 102.5 radio (also the sad version of Supersonic, the fans didn't like it so much). If you want it, email me for the password. I think some people on YouTube can perform better than Noel... of course he also wrote the songs, but I (used to, at least) sing better than him.
Today he played again for Radio Deejay-Tv @ Tropical Pizza: here you can listen to the interview (didn't check if it's available also abroad), he was in a good mood and also said: what other team of Manchester? lol.
And of course he had several other interviews for the press (repeating some things), he was also on one of the main sports websites, where he said: "Football needs players like Balotelli, I adore him. I'd like to meet him, he's a good boy". (! :)
So, Noel agrees with Liam, very rare :)
Tonight 27, Manchester City have a difficult match in Munich, against Bayern.
He also admitted: "my music is not Oasis now"...
and said that rock'n'roll is "dead" at the moment – but that won't be the case for long: all the genre needs in order to reinvigorate itself is a unique frontman or songwriter, like himself or brother Liam Gallagher.
"[The state of rock'n'roll is] really fucking bad now but when it's bad there's someone somewhere like Ian Brown, Liam or Bobby Gillespie or a songwriter like me who can retell the story.
"That's all rock and roll is; retelling this great fucking story. Music snobs will think when this band come along that its all been done before, but it's only a story that needs retelling for a new generation. Rock'n'roll is gone at the minute but it'll never die because Neil Young said so."
The comments come after he said that Oasis were the last great traditional rock'n'roll bands.
He said: "We don't live in an era where indie rock bands sell 60 million albums. Oasis were the last great, traditional rock'n'roll band. We came along before the internet so, if you wanted to see us, you had to be there. It makes me feel like a righteous old man."
About his first solo album: "I can't decide how many it sells", he shrugs. "If you like what I do, there's lots on there for you to like, but also some stuff that you wouldn't expect. And if you don't like what I do, believe you me there's enough on there for you to hate."

Liam: Noel Gallagher has the worst taste in music. My kids are the future

LONDON - Liam Gallagher has said his brother Noel has the worst taste in music. It  must be true, in fact Noel has said he's buying Coldplay's new album. Speaking to the new edition of Q Magazine, the Beady Eye frontman was questioned who is the one person he'd met with the worst taste in music.
He said: "Noel Gallagher. He's just into a load of shit. He's into himself. (LOL) He's a big fan of Morrissey and I like Morrissey as a person, but I don't know about that."
Liam said The Who frontman Roger Daltrey gave him the best career advice.
In an interview for the new edition of Q, he explained: “I remember having a chat with Roger Daltrey. He was going, "Oh you should warm up (your voice)." And I'm like "fuck that!" I was young and I was like. "I'm not doing any of that nonsense" But you know as the years go by. I've had to bite my tongue a bit and go, "Yeah you've got to warm up." But I don't do any of that la-la-la nonsense. I just sit with a guitar half a hour before you go on. It's just like getting your dick cut off when you've got a fucking cancel a gig cause your voice goes. It's like the heaviest thing in the world. But warm up man. That's the best bit of advice I've ever had." (photo in a warm-up room)
Then Liam said that U2's frontman Bono had given him the worst piece of career advice.
"Warm up (laughs) Bono might have tried to give me advice, but I was probably not listening. I do my own thing man!"
When asked which acts' hands do you feel happy leaving the future of music in, the former Oasis frontman said:
"My kids', mate. They're gonna have it. My little boy Gene, who's nine, is a drummer. He did his first gig the other day at school. He got up in front of 200 people at the school, first gig ever, and he was drumming as well as all the 14, 15-year olds. But whereas they were all fucking shitting it, he was like that [juts chin, puffs chest]. He got off and he went, "Yeeessss, man." Big round of applause. And me other kid's having a crack at the guitar. But I let them get on with it. The teachers are always going, "Oh, you should make 'em practice more." But as far as I'm concerned, when they get home from school, the do what they want. There's time for all that really getting their heads down when they're older".

Peyton List +Noel in Milan: I wouldn't exchange Balotelli

MILAN - Peyton List will be the bride in Noel Gallagher's (Rod Stewart :) new video If I had a gun (this is the making of).




those people playing music are Oasis? LOL what a sadness...The girl interviewing him is no more Simona Ventura (luckily), this is Victoria Cabello, daughter of my English teacher @ university, so of course she speaks so much better than Simona (and Victoria also lived in London).
I liked the question about Oasis, 'cause Noel is NOT Oasis now... Beady Eye are.
"Quelli che il calcio" is a football programme and Noel lives for football, so of course she asked him about football. Loved when Mario kicks Cristiano (cretino) Ronaldo and tells him to fuck off. Nobel prize for peace, lol

More lies from Noel: a few weeks ago he said Supersonic couldn't be performed live without Liam, and @ RTL 102.5 what did he perform today? Supersonic. I think he will even play it during the tour. And he makes the songs become sad, so there's no need he plays them.

sack Lewis Hamilton

SINGAPORE - (Photo with Szonja, the blonde). Great race for Button, as usual. 2nd the whole race and at the end he was gaining SECONDS in every lap, and marked an incredible fastest lap of the whole Gp. And now even moved to 2nd place in the championship table, who would've thought.
And on the contrary, of course, usual rubbish race for Hamilton, as almost always. What is he thinking of ? women? Now I'm even more tired of him, as it seems he blames the team. Terrible start because he stayed behind Webber (how can you stay behind that one... of course you lose positions), from 4th to 8th (!), again behind Schumacher. Then, Hamilton couldn't overtake Massa (!) and hit the Ferrari, so both had to stop. But Hamilton didn't stop immediately, did he realise he had an accident? Fucking hell. He didn't even have part of the front wing! Of course he was also punished and had a "drive through" penalty. Through the car radio he asked if they were fighting against Kobayashi (!) ...oh yes, because you're an idiot, I would've answered. Luckily for him, the safety car then entered so he could overtake the weak cars. He's become an unbearable driver. People saying he was the new Senna, must be drunk.

Spassoso Pino Allievi (che, a ragione, è stato l'unico a criticare Hamilton), che avendo imparato dal telecronista Mazzoni, parla di gossip: la famiglia di Vettel, "non ho visto la sorella" ghghgh
Ma arriva l'esperto di pettegolezzi, vai Gianfranco: "Button ha preso casa a Tokyo perchè passa lunghi periodi in Giappone..." eeeeh sì, cosa farà mai in questi lunghi periodi... (Jessica)
Non poteva non dire le solite boiate del giorno: "Schumacher è stato sorpassato da Hamilton.... (pochi secondi dopo) No scusate, è Hamilton che ha sorpassato Schumacher" (che vuol dire la stessa cosa) ...no e no, Schumacher ha passato Hamilton quindi Hamilton è dietro (chi non vorrebbe un cretino come telecronista?)

Mario makes City take the lead


MANCHESTER - Manchester City is now 1st in England Premier League with United thanks to Mario Balotelli who entered at the 61th minute and needed just 7 minutes to break a difficult match stuck on 0-0.
Mario and James Milner fired the goals that gave Roberto Mancini his first win over David Moyes.
The Everton boss, despite having never lost to megabucks City under the Italian, claimed before the match it was like turning up to a gun fight with a knife.
And City's strength of resources duly told, with two players worth a combined £46million coming off the bench to shoot down the Toffees in the second half.
City manager Mancini said: "Everton is a good team. It was really difficult. It was hard to win this game.
"We had a lot of shots and we were unlucky in the first half. The second half we got better."
Moyes added: "We've seen other teams getting beat heavily by Manchester City — we wanted to make sure that wasn't the case and I thought for long spells we did a good job."
Mancini had orginally given the City XI that threw away a two-goal lead at Fulham last week a chance to redeem themselves.
Everton's Australian Tim Cahill (who scored some goals against City in the past) - what a prick. Noel Gallagher hates him. He made a bad foul on Kompany and feigned to be injured, got a yellow card.

conservative Noel hates internet

LONDON - He's saying something not very popular... people love internet.
Of course you can hear people saying "it was better time ago when there was no computer"... but there's no point, times have changed.
What I don't like of internet is the contradiction of people: they're fan of social networks, Facebook and all, but usually (not all of them) they're afraid of everything "coming from internet"... wtf... everybody is "from internet", you too are from internet, so you should be afraid of yourself.
Just because there has been some killer or whatever, doesn't mean all the people are like them.
It's ok to keep contacts with people you know, but if I want to meet or speak to a friend I don't need internet.
The 'AKA… What A Life!' singer (the wtf ? lol) isn't a fan of the micro-blogging site Twitter personally but he thought the concept was a good idea until he saw so many famous faces take to it and "bastardise" it for their own gain.
In a web interview, he said: "I'm not a tweeter … Stuff like, 'Oh I'm going for a shower,' great. 'I slept in again, bugger.' Life's too short for that kind of thing but I think those things like Facebook and twitter and stuff were started with the best of intentions to connect ordinary people around the world, like daughters travelling in Europe can tweet their mums. But as with everything celebrities get involved and bastardise it, trying to sell you their shit. There's too much of that. Anything that's of any use famous people get hold of it and take it for themselves and it gets a bad rap. I'm like sitting here and thinking I hate twitter and I don't know why."
The former Oasis guitarist also believes the internet has destroyed the "magic and mystery" of musicians.
I could agree about this, but people are always hungry of everything.
Noel – who admits he only got his first computer "at Christmas" – thinks it was better when fans knew less about their idols because it made their new albums more exciting.
The rock star (rock star?) said: "I don't think people need to know what colour socks I'm wearing today, I don't think people need to know what shower gel I'm using. There's too much information in the world and there's no magic or mystery anymore. That's why I didn't announce I was in the studio making this album until 18 months down the line. Because it would be like, 'Yeah man I'm in the studio and today I recorded a song in my socks! And it was great man and it might turn out to be a disco song.' What's the point?' I was obsessed with the Smiths and there was none of that going on. You just waited and wondered what they were up to and then the album would come out in four weeks and it was like, 'Wow!' "
Doubts and doubts about Noel...

Liam: Noel is just a player gone, we are the big team

LONDON - In today's posts, both the Gallaghers shoulders :)
Liam Gallagher on ...

… the Oasis split and parallels between football and music

The band or the team is the most important thing. Don’t care about the managers and other things, people come and go, but what stays is the team and the crowd. It’s like the Oasis split up. Noel’s gone but it’s the same with a football player. If you fucking wanna move on, then move on. But we go on as a team. No one is ever bigger than the club or the band.

… his brother Noel

He was just a defender. I’m on the wing, coming in. A bit like Arjen Robben. I get the ball and fucking run. Not even kicking it, I’m running with the ball into the net.

… the English national team

I am not that patriotic. If they won the World Cup, that would be great. But that's not what's going to happen. It is not going with that Italian guy. He should go. We need someone who speaks English. It is an English team and we need someone who is going to the line and shout: “You fucking cunt, what are you doing there?” Harry Redknapp would be the man, he’d be mega, he’d be proper.

no no no Liam, about this I don't agree with you. Redknapp the man? no way, he looks like one sleeping. Shouting at players is what the Italian guy has been doing... The manager is not the problem of England, they changed so many. The problem is deeper... as I explained in some post.
Without Capello, England wouldn't even qualify. As already happened, more than one time. In all these years with him they lost only one real game, vs Germany, without a ghost goal and Rooney flagged for non-existent offside in front of the goalkeeper, by the same linesman... And four friendly games without real importance.
And, if you want an English manager for England, you are patriotic. And wearing the Union Jack parka you even look patriotic :)

… City and the money

I don’t care if people in fucking Düsseldorf or Frankfurt don’t like City right now. It doesn’t interest me one bit – you need money to buy good players. If you have no money, the players won’t come to City. Even if the Premier League has been ruined by money, fucking get over it. That’s the way it is.
The Arabs came and gave us some money. They are not in debt. I have never met an Arab who is in debt, have you?

The problem would be when an Arab gets tired of that game... and leaves you in debt...

… the FA Cup last season

It was the greatest moment for me as a City supporter – without a doubt. It was the first time we won anything. Mega. What I really enjoyed, was beating United in the semi-final. Both of my balls were buzzing. In the end we were the last ones out – we tried to leave but everything was locked.

… the Poznan dance

It’s great. I do it everywhere. In the morning when I get up and when I am having a shower, then I do the Poznan dance. Last time we played in Belfast and the crowd was doing the Poznan – brilliant.

It's not really called Poznan, but "do the huddle"...

… Balotelli

He has attitude. Right now footballers are just a bit too professional. They are all like Coldplay. You need exciting players, the ones who are a bit bonkers. Balotelli is crazy, but he is young. I think, when the penny drops, he will be a mega-player.

… Footballers in general

In England the players normally listen to Rap. To be quite honest, footballers are not cool, they are idiots or the majority of them are. 90 percent of the footballers are absolute fucking cocks. They listen to fucking Black Eyed Peas. And the clothes they wear – ridiculous.

Button laughs off links to his childhood dream Ferrari

SINGAPORE - Another "different gear, still speeding" Formula 1 weekend. Jenson Button (here in a weird red for McLaren) has laughed off suggestion he could be on his way to "the Rossa" red Ferrari in 2013.
"When I was growing up I was excited about the three big teams - Williams, McLaren and Ferrari", he said, who started his career with Williams in 2000.
"It doesn't mean you need to drive for Ferrari to fulfil your childhood dreams because as you grow up things change."
Rumours first arose in May after the Englishman revelead he'd always dreamed of driving for the Italian marque.
Team principal Martin Whitmarsh is keen to tie Button down to a long-term deal.
"Jenson will be here next year", he said earlier this month (but they're still in talks).
"We're looking to do a deal that will see him race for McLaren for the rest of his career. That may be for the next 3 or 5 years. Who knows? Jenson is a mature and very intelligent guy. He is still fit as a flea and still hungry to race."
The Ferrari suggestion had raised its head again in the wake of the Canadian race (unforgettable for Jenson), where the 2009 world champion came together his teammate in a race he went on to win with a dramatic final lap pass.
But now he rubbished the story, saying the idea was "hilarious because it's not true. I don't know who put that out there, but it wasn't us and it wasn't Ferrari".
Given his current role as joint-team leader alongside Hamilton, a move to Ferrari where he would play second fiddle to Alonso seems unlikely.
Jenson could pull off a major coup this season by becoming the first team-mate to finish ahead of Lewis Hamilton in the championship.
Whitmarsh has revealed the broader McLaren company hopes to work with Button beyond his Formula One career. "He could take on an ambassador's role for us".
Ferrari fans, everything is possible, but for now: dream on. Ferrari, please get Hamilton instead.

69th mod moto exhibition


MILAN - Already an event for November, so the girls (usually there are many foreign girls) can prepare to work there. And people can plan travels (I know English people who even came to Milan just for single car events).
My sister organizes this event again and she needs girls to work, but they must be very thin (38-40 Italian size dress). 
I don't care about motorbikes at all, I don't really give a shit, but this is a girls exhibition, isn't it? :) 
Of course there are all kinds of motorbikes, but we mods (we are mods we are mods we are we are we are mods) are especially interested in Milano Lambretta (name from the river Lambro) and Vespa, that is also in Liam's Pretty Green shops.
The same as in the past years, it's in the same place where Oasis had to perform their last concert ever (fiera Milano-Rho, Expo 2015), Oasis gig now possibly in 2015 as it had to be.
From 10 to 13 November (8 and 9 for journalists), girls enter for free on Friday 11. My sister is one of the girls working there so I enter for free, so I'm a girl too, lol.
It's the 69th Eicma exhibition, nice number ^^


"Vespa 50 Special" by Lunapop, this Italian band is the one of the song on the right column (Cesare Cremonini) "...we love England", but too much :), in fact they copied "Better day" from Ocean Colour Scene in another song, with even the same title. That's called a cover, darling.

Champagne SuperNovara - Inter Milan 3-1 and Noel syndrome

NOVARA - Unbelievable... but in Inter case : believable. Inter Milan sacked another manager.
The "world champions" (yes, because they had beaten a team called Mazembè... who?! and won a Champions League after 45 years thanks to 15 referee mistakes) they had a terrible start of the season, losing the Italian SuperCup vs AC Milan, losing in Palermo, losing at home vs Trabzonspor (!) in CL, a horrible 0-0 at home vs Roma in crisis, and now lost vs provincial Novara, this year new team in the Serie A league.
Inter, the joke of Italy is back. Thank you for existing, since 1908 making us laugh. The new manager (5th in 16 months! when the problem is clearly not the manager) is Ranieri (the singer? :), ex London's Chelsea, he had some good results there. I like him, nice person, but he's not really a so great one. There are already Inter players and fans who don't like him at all, even before starting. That's because they still idolise Mourinho... a sort of "Noel Gallagher syndrome"... even if he's not there anymore, they still feel his divine presence (sick... not "sic" in Latin, you know what I mean here, but sick). Time ago, when Ranieri was Juventus manager, Mourinho insulted him just because "he's old" (!), he wasn't even 60, and couldn't speak English well, according to Mou. Oh, sorry Special Clown if not everybody is so "intelligent" as you... Besides, I never heard that age makes a manager a bad manager... on the contrary, experience helps. They'll never come out of this syndrome, until he comes back with them and fails, as he's failing in Madrid.
Tonight Mario Balotelli finally could play a game and scored for City. And the new Italian phenomenon El Shaarawy scored his first goal for AC Milan.
Tonight I was speaking with a communist girl who hates Berlusconi and the people who vote him (wise behaviour...), of course typically jealous of his women and parties, administrating a totally idiotic page with thousands "fans" (these idiotic things help Berlusconi to be always elected...), on violence side (and even putting hearts <3 ! beside violence). She hates him so ("so" in her mind) she's an Inter fan (! wtf ? this is enough to say she's an idiot), and she's also a Noel fan, totally unaware of what he thinks about politics... she doesn't know anything at all. Quite typical from a Noel fan. Of course she's still very young (she sounds like a 12 year old retard, who doesn't even understand when you mock her) and still has to know a lot about everything... How can you be a Noel fan and a communist at the same time, after everything he said against the people who think the same as you? Not a real Noel fan. They say they're "fan of his music only"... oh oh no dear, being a fan of a Gallagher is not being a fan of their music only. We are different. We're not as the fans of other musicians. If you want to be a "fan of their music only", go and support some stupid band, there's plenty of them. How can you be so superficial and without head.
It's also a matter of condition: if you have some activity, shop or whatever, it would be stupid to be against Berlusconi and politicians on the side of your interest. If you wanna play the short-living role of the idiotic rebel, of course you're against Berlusconi. These people still think that politicians against him, they can do something for "poor" people... on the contrary, as Noel says "a good politician is a rich one", these people want to become rich and steal from people, taxing everything (they even wanted to tax blogs), as we've always seen. Those people usually don't even care about this, as they are rebels son of rich parents...
Unfortunately, this time I don't think I'm meeting Noel, I'm busy with some Formula 1 meeting. The same when I had to get tickets for him, I was busy in Monza. Anyway I wasn't going to buy them. Yes today for me the different gear still speeding F1 is more important than Noel. By the way, latest rumours say Jenson Button will be a Ferrari driver in 2013... oh mamma mia. Should we support Ferrari? Let's see.
They say we don't have to take sides in the "Liam vs Noel" battle. But I think it's natural to take one side, when you feel there's something wrong or that you don't like in one of them. Maybe there will be times when I appreciate more Noel, as it wasn't recently.

Recently I'm posting enough about films. The first football movies coming to my mind are:

"There's only one Jimmy Grimble" (with Noel singing something) and "Blue Moon Rising" (Manchester City), this one featuring Noel and produced by Berlusconi
Best (well, about George, Manchester United)
Goal! (Newcastle, with some Oasis music) and Goal 2 (Real Madrid)
Fever Pitch (Arsenal)
Escape to victory (legendary, the one feat. Sylvester Stallone)
Bend it like Beckham
The damned United (Leeds United and Derby County)

Lately I watched this last one too, about the legendary Clough, nice but I didn't enjoy it so much, Jimmy Grimble is so much better, not only because it's (more or less) about City.

Pretty Green in Newcastle, with accessories

NEWCASTLE - Beady Eye superstar Liam Gallagher (today his birthday) has brought his clothing line to Newcastle.
Pretty Green, the label founded by the former Oasis frontman, opened its latest store today in Newcastle city centre.
As well as mod-influenced clothes, shoes and accessories, the shop will offer monthly live music sets.
The 60s designs are heavily influenced by the personal style of the singer and has also roped in fellow musician Paul Weller to design a limited-edition collection.
The 890sq ft shop – spread over two floors on Grainger Street in the building formerly home to toiletries brand Lush – will sell the brand’s first-ever accessories collection.
Live in-store music sets will be showcased regularly featuring established and unsigned bands and DJs from Newcastle and beyond.
It is not Newcastle’s first connection to the Manchester rocker’s clothing line – sharp-dresser Ed Smith, from Jesmond, was chosen as the face of Pretty Green last year.
The boy was hand-picked by Gallagher as a model for the 2010 autumn/winter collection via a competition run through social network Facebook.
Gallagher said: “Ed has a really unique style and as soon as I saw his pictures I knew that I wanted him to front the campaign. He’s perfect for Pretty Green as he embodies 1960s style in a really fresh and modern way.”
And Ed was working in the new store today when it opened its doors to the public for the first time.
Nigel Grant, Pretty Green’s brand director, said: “We’re really pleased with the way the company continues to develop and with the support of an incredibly loyal customer base.
“Opening in Newcastle is another exciting opportunity that will enable our customers in the area to experience the full range and quality of the clothes first-hand and enjoy the live music sets that are a key design inspiration and ultimately what Pretty Green is all about.”
Pretty Green also has stores in London’s Carnaby Street and Covent Garden, Manchester, Glasgow, Nottingham and Cardiff.

Ayrton Senna film & t-shirt

MILAN - You remember my post on the article written by Paul Gallagher, brother of Oasis, about Ayrton Senna's new movie, the legendary driver of English cars only, Toleman, Lotus, McLaren, Williams.
I watched it recently and I was crying from the first to last minute :(
There are a lot of dialogue scenes you might have never seen. And also during the races scenes you feel as to be there.
Of course there's a lot about the rivalry with the Prost I was writing about recently. Something with his girlfriend Adriane Galisteu.
The other week @ Monza weekend, Lewis Hamilton had "Senna" written behind, but he didn't really drive as Ayrton...
When Senna died and was going to heaven, the helicopter had ironically the colours of McLaren.

You can find his classic t-shirt here in my little shop of simple clothes, it's the most selling one (and I had 300,000 visits there), the logo is original and in the official shops it costs much more. Available in other colours too (you can also change them), as the one in Brazil colours.
The film, special edition (2 dvd) $ 25 = £ 16

Keeley Hazell: I'm obsessed with Britpop

MILAN - Today 18 September, Keeley Rebecca M. Hazell, English former Page 3 Girl and glamour model of refined beauty from London, turns 25 years old (Virgo as Liam).
In 2006, Keeley made headlines when former Chelsea football player Joe Cole, who is into Pretty Green (you remember him, he had to join "Milan fashion giants" but then lost himself in france) was beaten up at a party held at her Grove Park house. She spoke to The Sun, denying rumours surrounding the incident.
Keeley was hailed by Conservative leader David Cameron as an "environmental hero" for her campaigns in The Sun, giving environmental tips such as turning lights off during the day :), about pollution and global warming (it's really hot beside her :). She was named alongside the likes of David Attenborough, Prince Charles and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Tories' list.
About the sport we adore, Formula 1, she appearead as B.A.R. British American Racing Honda girl when the driver was our favourite Jenson Button.
It seems we also like football haha. You surely remember her wearing England and Premier League shirts, Manchester City included.
Of course she's also famous for her topless / nude photos and sexy calendars, but she refused to be totally naked on Playboy.
She released a pop music single called "Voyeur" in 2008.
She's now an actress in California and 2011 saw Keeley take her first lead role in the short film "Venus and the Sun". She also had a small role in "Like crazy". She could be part of Liam's film about the Beatles, from DiLello's book.
About books, she likes "1984", she says: "The negative world that we live in today, controlled by the past and slaves to the future. I want to write an essay on George Orwell’s prophetic, nightmare vision of the future and how it coincides with today’s society. However I don’t think it is necessary, all I have to say is if you haven’t read this book, you should!"
About fashion, she definitely likes Italian sunglasses, Prada, Luella and Marc Jacobs. "I’m not a model, I’m merely an actress who gets paid to pretend to be a model", she says.
About the music we like, a few days ago she said: "I’m still obsessed with the 90’s, although I’ve managed to cut down the amount of times I listen to Britpop a day."
She wouldn't agree but we think Keeley is simply perfect.

to be honest, it's not me, we finally found out who's the BIGGEST Oasis fan, lol

Beady Eye in the hot desert +Reading bootleg

ABU DHABI - With arms behind his back, Liam Gallagher stumbled onto the stage in his own unmistakable fashion (in army green) at Abu Dhabi's Flash Forum on Yas Island last night to an awaiting audience.
The roaring crowd had gathered slowly, but by the time Gallagher and his band Beady Eye picked up their instruments, the 4,000 capacity tent - shaped like a dark zeppelin hangar - was nearly packed.
And after the quick courtesy of a "good evening", they burst into Four Letter Word.
Liam proves why he is the ‘greatest frontman of all time’. Beady Eye’s show was ballsy rock and roll from start to finish. The exotic eastern-influenced Four Letter Word showed off Liam’s fantastic voice and guitarist Andy Bell’s skill. Beady Eye's every note was equally punctuated with the dancing crowd.
Liam not only got the chance to promote his new band and their debut album, it was also an opportunity for him to get acquainted with Abu Dhabi, the city that injected life back into his prized football team Manchester City.
"It's the first time we've come here. It's great to visit somewhere new," said the guitarist Andy Bell shortly before the band took to the stage, after admitting that the heat had been something of a shock.
Bell claimed that they'd been kept free from sweat by living in "a refrigerator" since they'd arrived on Thursday evening. Liam - who had apparently spent his brief time backstage meditating with a cup of green tea - was taking on the heat with a somewhat daring zipped-up jacket.
Fans couldn't have asked for more. Peter Redding who lives in Dubai said, "I’ve been to every Flash gig, they are all brilliant. To see Liam Gallagher live is a dream come true".
"I don't actually know Beady Eye that well," said Ian Dickenson from the Flash Forum fan pit. "I'm really just here because of Oasis."
Judging by the crowd's reaction as Beady Eye ploughed through their album tracks, it didn't really matter who was there for Oasis or not.
Beady Eye finished another part of the tour. Next stop: 7-8 October in Italy again and again.

Gallagher Illuminati - part 2

LONDON - Here's more about Noel Gallagher belonging to the Illuminati. This happened 13 days before Oasis split, 15 August 2009.
I had a really surreal night last night, I am a celebrity photographer for my sins, one redeaming fact is that I am fully awake to everything that has been going on in the world for a long time now, been following David Icke's work since the first book.
Anyway back to what I am about to reveal. Last night there was an after show party held in London for U2, and one of the guests was Noel, when he came out at about 3:30am he started acting mighty strange and started making symbolic signs as you will see from the photos I took.
Also Bono is one freaky fucked up satanist he came and freaked me out man, I thought the devil himself was looking at me.
Back to Noel, as you will see from the photos he makes the pyramid sign with his hands above his head and looks through into the night sky all the time screaming something incoherent. Then he gets lifted up onto somebody's shoulders (maybe as a sign that he has been initiated into the order and uplifted) check out the tattoo on the guy who's shoulders Noel is sitting on could be a message from the Illuminati I have my own theory as to the tattoo. You will also notice in that Noel gave us the luciferian The "Mano Cornuto" hand sign all the time.
All the time the whole thing was really surreal and everyone that came out looked and acted possessed.
I'm posting these pictures because I want to inform everyone because I doubt that they will see the light of day in the press.

One could say that sign is just "rock'n'roll man" and he was probably drunk or something. But not all the people behave like this, showing these gestures. It's a bit weird, isn't it.
It would be stupid to say this is all bullshit, without investigating. Everything is possible, when things are strange (if you also add the "curse" of Oasis cd artworks, Liam predicting September 11, etc.).
This summer when asked whether he belongs to the Illuminati, Noel answered "no comment", while he could just say no or 'bullshit'.
When he'll read this on Oasisblues (now that he's more into technology, as Liam always checking internet and visting Oasisblues), he's gonna laugh. But he was an Icke follower, I don't think he's a satanist (as his beloved Led Zeppelin), maybe he just worships Lucifer, the "light bringer" (no connection to Satan). Yoko Ono was a satanist. If you notice, so many of Noel's songs name the sun, the light (-> word 'Illuminati'), he even sounds like a meteorologist, lol. The pyramid symbol is not evil, maybe for them it probably just represents perfection.
(Why his people here were all dressed in black?)

The guy with the tattoo seems to take it more seriously. His symbols could mean 'end of the world due to solar activity'. As you probably know, that's the possible end of the world, but it's gonna happen in some billion years.

There's some story about John Lennon, you can read something here
on Illuminati news ("Who Authorized The Assassination Of John Lennon?") though Noel is VERY different from him, always against 'peace' things, pacifist concerts, pacifist marches, etc. Noel never said good things about Lennon, he said he would've probably hated him, and that he's not interested in his life and pacifism but in his music only.
Oasis song 'The Masterplan' is very meaningful, if you look at the lyrics some say there's no doubt that at least he knows about the Illuminati plan. They say most of the really famous successful pop/rock stars are either working for or are part of the Illuminati, otherwise they wouldn't get all the publicity and promotion that they do as most of, if not all of the music companies (Alan McGee hates them and he's into those things of symbolism, since he saw an UFO, lol, and I've seen him with a swastika and talking about Hitler but of course saying that he's not like that), so, music companies are owned by the Illuminati so it's hard to get anywhere unless you buy into it. And probably John Lennon was asked to become part of the Illuminati and maybe he did for a while but it is obvious that he woke up and either broke his programming or just worked it out or whatever and then started to fight against them so they had to get rid of him because he had such a following and the people did listen to what he said and basically hung on every word he said, he was God like you could say. So if he would have worked for them then he would have been a very good tool for them but working against them then he could do some damage to their plans. But there is the possibility that he was still working for them and they needed to make him a legend, not the living kind, so he could have been more use to them. Who knows he may not even be dead. Could have been working for them, they arranged his 'murder' and he then disappeared. Could be the same with Michael Jackson and Elvis. They succeeded in what they wanted to do, had loads of money but couldn't enjoy it because of being mithered all the time by fans etc. so they might have longed for annominity and may have been granted it.

To the email readers, sorry yesterday in the Illuminati post I forgot the link to the video, it's here.

update: Noel Gallagher belongs to the Illuminati


UPDATE: summer 2011: Noel said 'no comment' to a question about him belonging to the Illuminati..... why? He could just say 'no' or 'bullshit'. And, he had said in his life he read 2 normal books only - the Da Vinci Code and Angels&Demons (you remember, the Illuminati wanted to erase Saint Peter church in Rome), but now said he read other books about Nazi stories. 
song: Everybody's on the run... 

Noel adores Led Zeppelin (strange that he never speaks about them, Liam the same but he named them recently) and they were accused of being satanists. This video could be also about Beady Eye :). There are some 'strange' things about Oasis, Liam too, as in 2000 when he was in New York City and he predicted September 11. Godlike.

+the double L of Gallagher and Illuminati means = 11. 
Besides, in the Shock of the Lightning, the German iron cross appears, that is used to mean a swastika. 
Other strange things happened with Oasis cd artworks:
- George Best (Manchester United, while they support Man City) on their 1st cd, then died, still young
- the pier in Weston-super-Mare on their "Roll with it", was burnt by a fire
- the music shop on "What's the story morning glory" went into administration
- the New York skyline and a fallen glass on "Sunday morning call" in 2000, then 11 September 2001 happened
- their last cd "Dig out your soul" had an atomic bomb, then they split
- etc.

l'Inter perde la trebisonda, fumata dai turchi

MILAN - Breaking news: ahahahahahaha that would be enough.
Inter Milan - Trabzonspor (whooo??!) 0-1, LOL. It was even difficult to write that name.
Thank you Inter for existing, since 1908 making us laugh. 
Another manager gone soon. 

Manchester City - Napoli 1-1, great game to watch, against a very good team.
City also hit 2 bars, Napoli 1, who scored first with the ace Cavani. A bar and draw after 5 minutes with Kolarov.
I think Tevez should have entered before, 'cause in my opinion Aguero is not so good against Italian strong defences (apart from Inter, 'cause they're not really Italian).

Barcelona-AC Milan 2-2, great result

BARCELONA - Breaking news. Against one of the best teams in football history, the great AC (without Ibrahimovic, injured) suffered but only a very few teams can draw away there in Barcelona. Milan pride!
Before the game, everybody thinking something like 4-0...
Oh there's a certain player called Messi who DIDN'T score...
Goals by Pato after 24 SECONDS (!) and Thiago Silva at the very end, great character of Milan.
Barça could only score the 2-1 on a free kick, their game was so boring.
Not true what they say, that Ibra is not important in Champions League. He is, especially in the group games.
And the immense Boateng got injured. We don't have Fabregas to replace him as Barcelona did with Iniesta...
Spanish stupid tabloids said Ibra avoided on purpose this game vs his ex club: nonsense, as he's out also in the next league games.
Inter always lost in Barcelona, and eliminated them only thanks to so many referee mistakes.
Now Milan can even aim for the 1st place in the group, nobody would have thought it could be possible.

Noel living in Little Venice, Locanda Locatelli, Italian honeymoon, wine & pizza

LONDON - Home is...
Noisy because I live with three kids.

Where do you live in London?
I moved to Little Venice ten months ago and live there with my wife Sara and our two boys, Donovan and Sunny, and sometimes my daughter Anaïs.

What's your favourite restaurant?
Locanda Locatelli. There are Italian people in the kitchen, and there's the chance you might see Madonna.

What was the last play you saw?
Hamlet with Jude Law. It's four hours long and there wasn't one single minute that I knew what was going on. I was thinking, 'I know they're speaking English but it's just all fucking gibberish.' I can appreciate the acting and the way they learned all those lines but… what the fuck was going on?

What advice would you give a tourist?
Avoid Oxford Street, it's not like it used to be, it's just a cattle market now. There's no record shops any more and I always seem to be walking the wrong way.

Which shops do you rely on?
I go into Daunt Books in Marylebone every couple of weeks. My wife Sara demolishes books but I only buy stuff occasionally. I like boys' things, spies and the Cold War. Reed at Percy & Reed has cut my hair for years. I buy any clothes that fit me from Stone Island. Everything else I get from Waitrose and Selfridges.
[why nothing by Pretty Green?]

Which is your favourite London club?
I've been a member of The Groucho for ten years. The snooker room is like a second home.

Which is your favourite shopping street in London?
I spend hours in Denmark Street looking at guitars.

What do you most like wearing?
A top and jacket from CP Company.

What animal would you most like to be?
A Beatle, which limits it. Probably McCartney.

What's the first thing you do when you arrive back home?
Download a box set to help me deal with jet lag. I've just got into The Wire. Then I watch Match of the Day on record. I support Manchester City. Then I'll get the troops together for a night at The Box - it's fucking good.

What's your earliest London memory?
I first came to London when I was 22 and working as a roadie. Having watched the News At Ten all my life I thought Big Ben was going to be massive, but I was underwhelmed.
[ahaha me the same in 1994, it looks small]

If you could live in any building in London which would it be?
Anywhere in Manchester Square. I'm from Manchester so it would give me a sense of home.

Do you have a recurring dream?
No, but I have seriously weird dreams. I'll be watching Coronation Street and suddenly think, 'Fucking hell I was doing mushrooms with you last night.'

What's the most romantic thing someone's done for you?
About 11 years ago, Sara booked a suite at The Lanesborough for a surprise illicit rendezvous, just to celebrate the fact that we'd got to know each other.

How would you like the opening line of your obituary to read?
'Wake Saint Peter from his slumber, there's a little one on the way.'

What would you do if you were Mayor of London for the day?
Abolish the smoking ban. I've smoked since I was a teenager and now poor souls like me have to stand outside. What really annoys me is that in the winter we're all outside shivering, with all the squares inside, and then in the summer the squares come outside and it's like, 'This is for smokers, get back inside with your Birkenstocks.'
[of course Liam is against smoking]

What are you currently up to?
Rehearsing with my band. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to standing with everyone behind me.

What are your favourite London discoveries?
I used the Tube once 15 years ago to go from Chiswick to Rotherhithe and it took me about a day and a half. But I've started using it again now to get to rehearsals and it's amazing. People stare but go, 'Nah, it can't be him, what would he be doing on the Tube?' I just pretend to send texts.

What was the last album you bought?
Sergio Pizzorno from Kasabian just gave me their new album Velociraptor! It's really good.

Have you ever had a run-in with a London policeman?
I was out one night with my wife and some friends. I was sat in the front of the car and they insisted on sticking their heads out the sunroof in the back like drunken dogs. We got pulled over by the cops, who said, 'Look, Noel, just have a word with the girls in the back.' I've always liked London police and had a good laugh with them.

Where did you last go on holiday?
The last great holiday I went on was my honeymoon with Sara in June. We had five days at the Hotel Caruso in Ravello, Italy, and we made a pact that we would eat pizza and drink red wine all the time [pizza & wine? pizza goes with beer...]. We go to Cape Town every January and stay at the Mount Nelson, which is a kid-friendly, old-school hotel. I've just got back from New York, my favourite city, where I always stay at The Bowery Hotel and always get the same room.

Monza Northern soul, day 4: Chris Horner fuck you, lol. Do what we wanna do!

MONZA - Good race for Jenson Button: he was 7th and I was thinking omg that's rubbish, but then I knew it seems he always does it on purpose to have fun, losing some positions to overtake, and finished 2nd!
Hamilton, as usual, was rubbish: started 2nd, then he was 5th and stuck behind Schumacher for so many laps. Jenson was behind them and when Lewis made a mistake to overtake Michael, then Jenson "said": that'll do me :). I was sure Button would have overtaken Schumacher immediately, Hamilton isn't even able to overtake a Mercedes.
Alonso on Ferrari had a great start, from 4th to 1st, an illusion for their fans.
I was laughing when the Australian Mark Webber went out of the track and retired, exactly where I was.
He said he didn't realise (for a whole lap) that he lost the front wing against Massa... are you blind or idiot?
I didn't like the crowd (of course Ferrari fans), not very sporting, 'cause under the podium they booed especially Vettel and also Button.
There were some from South Italy who, instead of having fun, decided to  have a continuous argument against people with Padania flags (North Italy political party, extremely conservative) because they said they had nothing to do there. They have, in fact it was a political battle to keep the Formula 1 here as always and not in Rome. Besides, Padania is not only politics but it's North Italy. The police had to intervene, on Padania side, mocked those from South so all the people were laughing at them communists, because policemen said people can bring any flag they want.
We are in Italy, People of Freedom, and as the best Beady Eye song says: we do what we want oh yeah!

best moment of 2011: at 0:54 a woman saying "Chris Horner fuck you" LOL

Monza, day 1 feat. Beady Eye crocodile

MONZA - day 1… of 4... we're destroyed already, very tired. Maybe also because the alarm clock is set to wake up in 4 hours, at dawn.
We've arrived in Milan exactly at the same time of McLaren ahaha (some say it’s a good sign), after 2 months of holidays :D Now the 3rd one starts :D
And in Monza we were the first ones arriving :), other good sign.
Photo: there are also those ear caps we call "suppositories" ahaha that's not a good sign, lol.
In the pitlane there was also Beady Eye's crocodile :) of Different gear still speeding. Because hanged outside Mark Webber’s box there was a sign with a crocodile and written: "danger crocodile", "no swimming / streaming". I'll zoom it.
There were more meetings last year but we were stuck @ McLaren. Besides, the McLaren shop opened in Milan. Met a couple from California and a Russian. Quite far away, aren't they.
More photos in these days, I'll make a video with some proper song ad the best of the weekend.
The President of Italian Republic will be @ race (a sort of special edition) because it's Italy 150th anniversary and on Sunday he's giving the cup to the winner on the podium...
You're still in time to join.

A warm and sunny weekend is forecast for the Santander Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
Unlike Spa-Francorchamps two weeks ago, the weather in Italy should mean teams and drivers have better conditions to avoid a repeat of the blistering seen on Pirelli’s tyres.
"At the very least, going to Monza is always a very evocative and historic occasion – perhaps more than any other circuit, you can really feel the sport’s past here, and it’s become the perfect venue to bid farewell to the European season before we head to the final flyaways. I think it’s very important that Formula 1 keeps hold of these classics" (Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren).
“Last year, I won at Spa and failed to finish at Monza. For this year, I guess I’m looking to reverse that sequence! I’ve already moved on from my non-finish in Belgium and I’m really looking forward to returning to Italy, a place where I spent a lot of time racing karts: it’s a country I really love." (Lewis Hamilton)

Noel: I was a frontman for charity, but I was doing a favor, so fuck 'em

NEW YORK CITY - Throughout much of the 1990s you'd have been hard-pressed to find a source of shameless rock-star swagger more dependable than the Gallagher brothers of Oasis. Liam on vocals, Noel on guitar, both of them armed with bushy eyebrows and what-do-you-want scowls—the pair epitomized an aggressive hauteur that musicians (other than Kanye West) just don't seem interested in embodying anymore.
Among those suddenly bereft of bluster: Noel Gallagher, who on a sunny August afternoon sits in a West Hollywood hotel restaurant sipping an Italian cappuccino and worrying about the first rehearsal with his new group, the High Flying Birds.
"I've gotta fly back to London today and play with five guys I've yet to play with," Gallagher says, not long after wrapping his part in a music video. "I know them all—they're friends of mine. But three of them don't know one another, and we've never played together before." He laughs ruefully. "I could be sitting there tomorrow night going, 'What a fucking huge mistake.'"
Meet the new boss, significantly less cocksure than the old boss. Gallagher formed the High Flying Birds—though, really, he's the sole permanent member—following Oasis's typically acrimonious breakup in 2009. (The only thing that bonded the Gallaghers more closely than their confidence was their mutual disgust.) Liam has a new band, too: Beady Eye, which released its debut earlier this year. But where that record picks up precisely where Oasis left off on Dig Out Your Soul, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds reveals a softer, dreamier side [not sure about that]; it's full of grandly arranged pop songs and lush ballads with strings and horns—more Abbey Road than Revolver, to put it in terms familiar to any Oasis fan.
Gallagher assembled the album from a pool of 38 tunes he'd written, recording it in London and Los Angeles with producer Dave Sardy. (Why L.A.? "I'd like to tell you it's because of some romantic theory of American rock and roll, but it's all to do with commerce," Gallagher says. "If a studio in England costs you £2,000 a day, a studio in America will cost you $2,000 a day. You don't need to be a genius to work that out.") He's immensely proud of the music but acknowledges that playing the frontman is not a job that comes naturally. "I've done it before at acoustic gigs for charity, but in my head I was always doing somebody a favor, so fuck 'em," he says. "Standing in the middle of the stage and having to try and sell something to somebody—I'm not looking forward to that in the slightest."
Likewise, Gallagher is admittedly lukewarm on the concept of returning to venues the size of the Beacon Theatre, where he'll appear November 14 and 15. (In December 2008, Oasis played its final New York City gig at Madison Square Garden.) "There's no better medium than a stadium, fucking slaying 60,000 people," he says. "And now I've gotta go back down to the bottom and try to build it up again. If I'm being honest, I actually wish this were an Oasis album. But I can't turn back the clock on that."
So why bother, then? Surely, modern classics like "Wonderwall" and "Champagne Supernova" still generate enough dough to keep Gallagher in the crisp dress shirts to which he has become accustomed. "Well, I had a third child," he replies. "That'll get you out of the house." And besides, he adds with an impish grin, "I'm too good to do nothing."
Ah, yes—old habits, you know, they die hard.

Beatles, Oasis & Hollywood got married here

LONDON - In the swinging 60s, Paul McCartney exchanged vows with his beloved Linda (Eastman) here (1969).
[And he will soon again, with Nancy Shevell.]
Their supposedly ­low-key wedding sparked a media frenzy as hundreds of fans mobbed the newlyweds.
In the 80s, Paul’s fellow Beatle Ringo Starr also got married here.
And Oasis’s Liam Gallagher wed both his wives here – first Patsy Kensit and then Nicole Appleton – 11 years apart.
Westminster Register Office, also known as Old Marylebone Town Hall, has more than its fair share of rock ‘n’ roll wedding history.
Loved by stars for its history, photogenic architecture and central London location, the town hall is the capital’s busiest register office.
On an average summer Saturday, 12 weddings and civil partnerships take place under its grand roof, while many more are held at approved venues in Westminster.
All births and deaths in the borough of Westminster are also registered at the town hall. The historic venue, which opened in 1920, now also plays host to citizenship ceremonies, which officially welcome new citizens to the country.
“It’s a special place,” explains chief registrar Alison Cathcart, who has worked at the register office for 20 years. “It’s a beautiful, imposing building, which gives it an air of importance just right for ceremonial occasions.”
Couples can choose from four rooms – the tiny Yellow Room, which holds 20 guests, the Blue Room, which holds 30, the Purple Room, which holds 80 or the grand, wood panelled Reception Room which holds 100 guests.
“We chose to marry here as it’s where Paul and Linda got married,” grins Kasia Jablonska, who is marrying Michael Foye, 41, in the Blue Room on the day we visit.
Kasia, 37, who is Polish, and Australian Michael have been engaged for six months but only started planning their wedding two months ago.
Bea Tomas, 32, and Paul Garrad, 35, are embracing the hall’s rock ‘n’ roll history. They chose the Yellow Room after finding out it was where Liam Gallagher had married both first wife Patsy Kensit in 1997 and second wife Nicole Appleton in 2008.
The couples are in good company with scores of well-known faces choosing the register office for their weddings.
In the 90s, Chrissie Hynde, the singer, married her composer partner here. The couple wore jeans and celebrated at a nearby Pizza Express, with guests including Annie Lennox.
“I’ve married numerous stars here,” says Alison. “Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith were one of the first majorly exciting couples I met.
“I married Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd and the rest of the band were there supporting him. More recently, I’ve married actors John Hurt and Terence Stamp, former footballers John Fashanu and Paul Merson and TV presenter Claudia Winkleman.
“Westminster may be described as a ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ venue but it appeals to all sorts of people.
“The best thing about being a registrar is the knowledge that, in one moment, you have changed people’s lives.”

Liam: press people have posters of us on their walls

BRUSSELS - The stupidity of websites and tabloids has no limits. Liam was wondering, if he didn't create Beady Eye, what he was going to do... "work in McDonald's?" to mean that he would have NEVER done that, of course. Even an idiot could understand it. But "journalists" around, of course on purpose also to mock him, wrote: Liam Gallagher could work at McDonald's. Liam Gallagher was about to work at McDonald's. Etc. They don't even deserve a comment under their pathetic websites. 
Don't get me wrong, nothing against McDonald's, I mean that of course Liam Gallagher would have never worked in a fast food.
And here's the full article from Red Bull, some things were already said in these months, but Beady Eye are now at this point where they're becoming bigger and it's good to tell the story.
The photo was taken some days ago.

The side door of the monolithic ebony tour bus hisses open like a space age air lock and Liam Gallagher steps out into the light but constant Brussels rain. He throws a heavy hold-all over one shoulder, lowers his sunglasses from his mop of Brian Jones hair, fixes them in the default position over his eyes and swaggers his way past gawping shoppers in the direction of the hotel lobby. It’s the exit of a seasoned pro; a man who has spent much of the last two decades alighting from heavily tinted vehicles in cities all over the world. As the singer of Oasis, Gallagher has stayed in some of the finest hotels on the planet. But he’s not in Oasis any more and while this particular Sofitel has a certain amount of glitter, it is still a gold star or two below the norm. You see, things have changed for Liam over the past two years but as he explains later over espresso and cigarettes, in his opinion they’ve changed for the better.

After eighteen years of ecstatic highs and violent lows, combustible and controversial British rock band Oasis – perhaps the last to truly deserve the battered crown of king anarchists handed down by the hell-raising likes of Led Zeppelin, The Who and the Sex Pistols – finally imploded. Only those who were there really know what went on backstage at the Rock en Seine festival near Paris on August 28, 2009 and despite vague allusions to the reasons behind the split and the conflicting accounts of the two main protagonists, the true nature of events remains a mystery. What is known beyond a shadow of a doubt is that the fight between Liam and older brother Noel, just minutes before the band were about to go on stage, was serious enough to finally rip the band apart for good. 

Oasis had been close to ending on numerous occasions in the past as the Gallaghers’ often abrasive relationship – one which not only constantly threatened its existence but also powered it – regularly stretched the band to breaking point. On every occasion before Paris, the warring siblings had somehow managed to see beyond the black eyes and foul abuse to reach a rapprochement. However, this time would be different. A statement from Noel, just two hours after at least one guitar was turned into kindling, confirmed that he had quit the band as he “could not go on working with Liam a day longer”. It didn’t take much reading between the lines to see that there would be no reconciliation this time. The fears of those Oasis fans who continued to hope for a reunion were finally realised when Liam announced on November 19 of that year that the remaining members of Oasis – guitarists Gem Archer and Andy Bell, drummer Chris Sharrock and himself – would continue to record without Gallagher Senior, saying: “Oasis are done, this is something new.” Six months later, on May 25, 2010, the final nail in the Oasis coffin was hammered home when Liam and Co. announced that this something new would be called Beady Eye.

Resplendent in a camouflage wind-breaker from his own Pretty Green clothing range and with his piercing blue eyes now unshaded, Liam Gallagher sits back and wearily blows a plume of smoke into the darkening sky above the hotel’s roof garden as he once again contemplates that fateful day in Paris. “I think I wasn’t in the band for about one beer,” he says. “That’s how long it took for us to think about what we wanted to do. After that it was like, let’s keep going. What else am I going to do? Work in McDonald’s?” Liam maintains that his brother “had had enough of Oasis” and just wanted an excuse to leave. At a press conference to launch his solo project The High Flying Birds and his two forthcoming albums, Noel Gallagher rejects that idea, saying simply that he’d “just had enough of Liam.”

After the tabloid-christened Wonderbrawl in Paris, Chris Sharrock returned to his home in Liverpool while Liam, Gem and Andy headed back to London to begin work on the songs which would ultimately come together to form Beady Eye’s debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding with producer Steve Lillywhite. The atmosphere, by all accounts, bordered on euphoric. “There was something in the air,” Beady Eye’s somewhat cosmic guitarist Gem Archer says, his eyes lighting up at the memory. “I don’t know if it was the universe just doing it’s thing but there was something magical going on when we got down to working.”

“We always felt like we wanted to do something fantastic and new whether it was with or without Oasis,” Liam adds, brightening up as talk now moves away from the past and turns to the new musical love of his life. “We were always gearing up to do something great. That’s what you live for. There was never a doubt in any of our minds that we weren’t going to knock it on the head. We’ve got to be in there. People need us. We need it.”

With the four ex-Oasis men forming the core of Beady Eye – on tour the band is augmented by ex-Gorillaz bassist Jeff Wooton and keyboardist Matt Jones, formerly of Britpop band Ultrasound – the writing duties are shared between Gallagher, Archer and Bell. The credits also extend to include drummer Sharrock in a show of unity. Both Liam and Gem are quick to point out that Beady Eye is a collective, with everyone sharing responsibility for the direction and every aspect of the band.

“We all do our thing to make Beady Eye happen,” Liam says. “There are no chiefs here. It’s not like as soon as someone has a top idea and thinks we should do it it’s suddenly like ‘oh here we go, he’s getting too big for his boots’. We’ve been there before with someone taking responsibility for everything. It’s a bit late in the game to be fucking around with power struggles and insecurities with your mates. That’s just rubbish. Whoever’s closest to the kettle puts the fucking kettle on.”

“We’re into it to the level of thinking about what lights to take with us on tour, what to have on stage with us other than the amps,” adds Gem. “We’re deep into it all. The photos, the clothes, the artwork – we’re doing it all.”

“With the new song, Andy took the photo for the cover,” adds Liam. “We took one look at it, said it looked the bollocks, so we slapped our name on it, stuck the banging tune inside it and away you go.” Suddenly he’s out of his seat, comically mincing around the table. “There’s no need to ponce about with design teams full of geezers called Quentin when we know what we want and can do it ourselves.”

“It’s a top vibe, man,” he continues, sitting down and switching his face back to stony conviction. “Everyone is loving being involved in the creative side of it. It’s not like when Noel would do the lot and we’d be sitting about, twiddling our thumbs. People think I was a lazy bastard and always in the pub. I just never got the call, man. But now everyone’s getting a share of the drug. We’re all getting high from being a band and what makes being in a band great.”

To emphasise their break from the past, Beady Eye took the very un-Oasis-like step of releasing a couple of songs as digital teasers before debut single The Roller was unveiled in January [it wasn't really a single but vinyl]. Rather than it being a clever marketing ploy, the band floated Bring the Light and Four Letter Word on the Internet in a surprisingly humble attempt to gauge where they may possibly stand in the post-Oasis musical landscape. “We released the digital tracks and posted videos ahead of the first release because we didn’t even take it for granted that people would know who we were,” admits Gem. “We needed to let them know what was coming.”

“The average Joe didn’t know what was going on,” adds Liam. “People were coming up to me in the shop asking when the next Oasis record was coming out and I was all like, ‘you fucking what?’ I wasn’t getting into it because they were obviously on drugs or living in a can of beans or something. A lot of people thought Oasis was still going so we had to get the new stuff out to them.”

The reaction to the Internet teasers was underwhelming as were those accompanying the release of first single proper The Roller. Beady Eye’s debut peaked at number 31 in the UK charts [AGAIN, they weren't really singles, Beady Eye didn't release, but vinyls, and of course not many people buy vinyls, as they don't have the right player and they aren't collectors] – 31 the exact same position as Oasis’ debut Supersonic reached back in April 1994. When the next single, Millionaire, floundered at number 71 it was open season in the British press. For Liam’s adversaries in the media, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Well-worn comparisons of the Gallaghers were once more dragged across the pages of the tabloids, with Beady Eye already condemned to failure for having what many people considered to be the less talented brother in its line-up. Liam admits the poor performances of the singles was a reality check but the media reaction was less of a surprise.

“I expected to get shit from the press before we started out because I dish it out and I thrive on that so I expect it back,” he says. “They’re always going to be gunning for me but I’m always like, ‘bring it on’ because I’ll always be gunning for them. That will always be there because we need the love-hate thing but deep down they’ve probably all got posters of us on their walls. We’ve got to be on top of our game because we’re there to be criticised. But we’re ready for it. We’re big boys.”

While certain critics ratcheted up their dismissals of Beady Eye once Different Gear, Still Speeding was released in February, the majority of the world’s music press was much more generous. The album, which debuted at number 3 in the UK album charts, was widely praised with many commentators welcoming the band’s efforts to move away from the Oasis legacy. The public’s response was equally positive with the album going gold in the UK within a month of its release.

“Of course, it was nice to get good reviews for the album but it wasn’t like we were then saying ‘we showed you’ to those who’d slagged us off without even hearing it,” Liam says. “It’s nice but we don’t care really. When the reviews are good, you know the writer got it and understood it. They say what we already know and they think exactly what we think about it. We wouldn’t have released the record if we didn’t think it was having it. Bad reviews which say ‘well, he’s no Noel Gallagher’ – I’ve got no time for them. Go back to journalism school. They’re just idiots who just want to take a pop at me because I slagged off Blur in 1992 or whatever. There’s a lot of that what goes on and always will.”

After all this time, Liam Gallagher remains a divisive figure – a situation he admits to contributing to but one he feels is rooted in the behaviour of his younger self: the Liam of smashed hotel rooms, cocaine busts and numerous punch-ups with the public and family alike. He appears to accept that whatever level of success he may reach now or in the future is unlikely to make a lot of difference to how people perceive him.

“Beady Eye’s probably not gonna change the way people see me,” he says. “Nothing I do probably will. They’ll still see me as that 20-year old who made the most of life by going a bit fucking mental. But answer me this: who wouldn’t have done the same in the circumstances? I don’t give a fuck what they think of me to be honest. I am who I am. I was Liam in Oasis and I’m Liam in Beady Eye. If I’m Liam in another band, it’ll still be me and they’ll still have to deal with it.”

“People have the wrong idea about Liam,” Gem responds. “It’s just laziness to keep up this perception of him. He’s full on in this band; from production to mixing to arranging. In addition to Beady Eye, he’s running a clothing line and making films [with production company In 1 Productions] at the same time. He’s not sat on his arse waiting to sing his bits just so he can get off again and go on the piss. He’s as fully committed and invested in this collective as the rest of us.”

Few would have expected Liam Gallagher to have the initiative to diversify but the singer has shown an entrepreneurial bent in his latter years. His Pretty Green clothing label is now in its second, award-laden year and work is continuing on his first film, an adaptation of Richard DiLello’s The Last Cocktail Party which details the rise and fall of the Beatles’ Apple Records empire. “Pretty Green and the film production thing was always probably going to happen, it was always in me I reckon,” he says. “Maybe there were fewer opportunities to explore that side of me when I was younger or maybe I just couldn’t be arsed back then. But I’m nearing 40, man. Things change. Priorities change. You’ve got to keep the brain ticking over, man, or you’ll end up a cabbage.”

As the sky above again opens with yet another deluge, sending everyone ducking for cover, talk turns to the evening’s coming show; a late – but not headlining – slot in the Pyramid Marquee at the Rock Werchter festival. This is the latest open air show of Beady Eye’s debut festival season. For any new band, an evening show at any festival would be considered a mighty step up given that debutants are usually awarded the early afternoon slots. But Beady Eye are no ordinary ‘new’ band. Surely the fact that they are four-fifths of Oasis, a band used to playing to tens if not hundreds of thousands of their own fans, would be enough to secure top billing.

“We are where we are, you know what I mean? We’re getting what we deserve right now,” says Liam. “It’s like paying your dues, man. We’re a new band. It doesn’t matter what went before. Half the people at the festival shows probably haven’t heard the record and you have to keep reminding yourself that. This isn’t Oasis, so we haven’t got a big back catalogue of songs which people have already heard over the past 18 years.”

“That’s the good thing though at festivals,” adds Gem. “You’re playing to people who may not normally come to see you. We just go out there and just try and play the best gig we’ve ever done to date and if they like it, all well and good but if not then we’re probably just not the right band for them.”

“It’s all new with Beady Eye, man,” Liam chips in. “It’s all fresh. We’re getting off on it. And we can see that the crowds are getting off on it too. They’re getting it and they’re coming out to see you which is great. We were never so far up our own arses to think that we could guarantee that either. Nothing was taken for granted.”

The festival season comes in the middle of Beady Eye’s first tour, one on which the band have returned to their roots by playing smaller venues that would never have been able to cope with the demands of housing an Oasis gig. Liam explains that this was a band decision based on the current reality and that at no time did they think that Beady Eye possessed the pulling power to continue where Oasis left off by playing colossal concerts.

“We never had this idea that just because we were Oasis we could go out there and start off in arenas,” he admits. “We always had the idea to start again, to start small. We don’t have the songs right now either. When you’re playing arenas and stadiums you’re on for an hour and a half. What we basically have is the album and that’s an hour so we’re happy with that. It’s not like we’re sitting there going ‘I can’t wait to start playing stadiums again’ and moaning about where we are. Someone was looking at us playing a venue of 8000 when we were planning the first gigs and we said no, it’s too early for that. You’ve got to have something to aim for and build up to.”

Despite fronting numerous concerts including the mighty Knebworth shows of 1996 where Oasis played to over a quarter of a million people over two days, Liam admits to a bout of nerves before taking Beady Eye out onto the road for the first time on March 4 this year. “There were a few nerves but we just wanted to get out of the rehearsal rooms and get playing in the end,” he says. “We had these tunes we believed in and wanted to get them out there but because it’s new, you never really know what’s going to happen. We didn’t know if everyone was going to start shouting for Oasis songs. We could have played it safe and took off to some tiny little foreign hole to debut but we chose Glasgow Barrowlands and they were fucking immense. The jocks will call you on it if you’re shit – Glasgow’s a hard school – but they were top notch. The nerves soon went after that.”

“Big gigs are a piece of piss, you know what I mean? The crowd are miles away. With these shows we’re doing they’re right on you and you’ve got to be on it. You’re all in it together in these smaller venues, in the trenches, and it’s instant. You kick off and suddenly the whole place is rocking and you’ve got to keep that going.”

Later that evening, under the cover of canvas, Beady Eye certainly gets Werchter’s Pyramid Marquee rocking…and rolling, swaying, seething, ebbing and flowing with their Different Gear set-list. Welcoming the crowd with a chipper “Good evening brothers and sisters” it’s clear the surly, bating Gallagher of old is tucked away for the night. Throughout the evening, Liam’s banter with the audience is jovial and there are even smiles from the stage to match those beaming back from the steaming mass. Reconnecting with the fans has been key to the response the band have been getting on tour and from the opening fusillade of Four Letter Word, Millionaire and Beatles and Stones to the crescendo finale of World of Twist’s Sons of the Stage, both band and audience seem to feed off the energy generated under the sweaty canopy. The performance is as tight as you would expect from a group of seasoned campaigners the majority of whom have been playing together for the best part of a decade but there is a new lightness of spirit and atmosphere which helps these songs of hope and belief soar. It’s clear throughout the show that the shackles of the past have been cast aside.

“I don’t feel any pressure,” says Liam. “If being in a band is pressure then you’re in the wrong game, mate. We’ve been at the top and we want to be at the top again but we’re not young lads chasing the dream. We’ve all been round the block in this industry a lot of times and we know it’s hard but we’re dead relaxed, man. We’re doing our thing. We’ve got nothing to prove.”

With new material already written, Beady Eye are eager to keep the juggernaut rolling with another album pencilled in for 2012. “The thing with Oasis was that we could have made more records and it’s a shame we didn’t but with this we’re not going to sit around for five years before putting new stuff out,” the front man says. “Hopefully by the time we get the next record out, there’ll be more people digging us and knowing what we’re about.”

And what will the future hold for Beady Eye? Can it get as big as Oasis?

“We don’t go about saying we’re going to be as big as Oasis, despite some of the quotes people have me saying. I’m talking about the music. I believe in the music and the quality of it and I’m talking about that not that we’re bigger or better than Oasis. People on the whole get that. They see where we’re coming from and give us respect for that.”

“Beady Eye will evolve. It already is. We’re listening to stuff we’re putting together for the next record and it’s already changing. It’s Beady Eye and it’s our sound because that’s what we do but these tunes are blowing our minds and we just hope they’ll do the same for other people. We’ll do what needs to be done, man. If it needs to rock, it’ll rock. If it needs to swagger, it’ll swagger.” A wicked glint flashes across those heavy-lidded blue eyes again. “And it’ll be the bollocks.”

"A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphisics of books". (Walt Whitman) ..... "What's the story morning glory?", American expression (something like "what's up?"), but also spicy thai vegetable :), and girls say it's also a morning male erection

What's the story morning glory - the most famous Oasis album - London at dawn, Soho, Berwick Street, known for its independent record shops. On the left it's Sister Ray records shop, then it went into administration...

..... Who feels love? - Arizona www.maricophoenix.blogspot.com - video inspired by Zabriskie Point, movie by Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni, with Mark Frechette

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"
..... video with Milano Lambretta

Our Lady, Milan symbol in "Stop crying your heart out" video. Oasis have catholic origins

Heathen chemistry - the title came from a t-shirt Noel bought in Ibiza which featured a logo reading, "The Society of Heathen Chemists"

in the little picture: Rodney Marsh, 1972-75 City player (and next to the tv: George Best). A poster of a young Burt Bacharach. They were watching The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, spaghetti western movie by Italian director Sergio Leone, music by the great maestro Ennio Morricone. The room was at Bonehead's house. On the floor, a glass of wine, but it was bilberry juice

Preview

as all the greatest music albums covers, almost all Oasis albums covers have summat mysterious, it seems a curse. The last one had an atomic bomb... then they split. In '95 they put the pier of Weston-super-Mare on "Roll with it" cover, then it was burnt

"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...
..... The meaning of soul (live in Milan @ Alcatraz) - This one's not for Marco :) but I dedicate it to Melissa, a girl with heart problems I took out from gig mayhem. Escape from Alcatraz ghghgh It used to be the song on English tv, for Premier League Sky Sports ad. "...I'm a different breed, I'm outta your league, I'm 10 outta 10 alright... All rise, I see the love in your eyes, if it's alright then I'll be your light"

..... 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
"The one who's got right ideas among confused people, he's like one with a working clock in a city where all the clocks are wrong. He's the only one knowing the right time, but what's the use? Everybody's following the others one, even those who know the right time..."
(Schopenhauer)
That was the meaning of the word "Oasis", an isolated place in a desert.
"As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means".

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 !!!
..... "Slide away" piano music: we have a real piece of Moon next to my house, that is Manchester City symbol. The World Cup too, it was made here by a Milan artist. You can see Capello table @ the Football English pub here and also Jesi, the town of former Inter Milan then City and Italy manager Mancini, where my uncle was born

"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)

..... Balotelli ahahaha and City symbol on Noel's guitar :). This tune was my alarm clock to wake up in the morning from '97 to 2000. At a 1997 gig after the first chord of 'Be here now' I was literally flying, gone fuckin' mad fer it, continuously shouting and jumping embraced with all the people. Best fun of my life.

Be here now: a Milano Lambretta (name from Milan river Lambro), owned by Noel, and a Rolls-Royce. Photo at Stocks House hotel in Hertfordshire
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)

the beginning of Pretty Green, Milan, 11 March 2009 (same day: Inter Milan losing in Manchester ehehe). My English blue navy Pretty Green scarf, a must-have: a soft, lightweight polka dot scarf made from 100% cotton and expertly hand-printed by Italy’s leading scarf producer


wearing British military clothes Kangol. Two English girls in Italy had a Kangol hat and I recognised from the brand that they were going to an Oasis gig (Lucca 2002)

Liam Gallagher fascist tattoo (Elvis Presley philosophy) - Take Care of Business - Fede, Spirito, Disciplina
