Urgh..what a hangover! Horrific. Great, great night though. As spectacles go (and I don't mean the ones you wear) Slane Castle takes some beating.
I don't think I've seen The Prodigy since Knebworth but fuck me, they had it yesterday. Incredible behaviour. You gotta be good to follow Kasabian. They are.
Don't remember leaving the gig! I feel poisoned. Not looking forward to the flight home AND me and Irie Nancy have got to go to a friend's 40th tomorrow. More boozing. Shit!!
Got 10 days off though so mustn't grumble.

Hello? Is there anybody out there? Been having technical problems with the lines of communication of late. Sorry for the break in transmission. Normal service is now resumed - and no, you're not getting your money back!! While I'm on that subject, it seems that around 20,000 of you have asked for a refund from that night at Heaton Park!! 20,000!! So you were genuinely disappointed? I don't recall seeing a 20,000 gap in the crowd. Cheeky cunts! Tsk ..some people.
Anyway, no such problems in Scotland. Gig at Murrayfield was great. Great crowd, as always. The Enemy and Kasabian were on top form. Didn't see The Reverend.
Apart from - yet again! - some poor DJ'ing from Romeo the party in the dressing room was a good-un. Didn't leave 'til the sun came up. Respect to Kasabian. They were still there when I left and they had a gig in Glasgow last night! Fuck that. They must've been rough as arseholes.
Off to Dublin today where, for one night only, we will welcome The Prodigy to the tour. Slane Castle tomorrow. Silvermints, Tayto crisps and brunches! YUMMY.

| Live: Liam hat nichts gegen Pannen |
(Thorsten, 2009/06/19 - 07:00) Während andere Stars hart daran arbeiten, dass ihre Shows perfekt über die Bühne gehen, hat es Oasis-Mitglied Liam Gallagher gern ein bisschen chaotisch. In einem Interview erzählte der Musiker, ihm gefalle es, wenn etwas danebengehe, da dies den Gig für die Zuschauer unvergesslich mache.
Vor kurzem hatten Fans in Manchester aufgrund von Technikschwierigkeiten 40 Minuten warten müssen, bis die Show beginnen konnte. Gallagher: "Ich mag solche Sachen, solange niemand stirbt oder verletzt wird oder Fieber bekommt, weil ihm zu kalt ist. Es gefällt mir, wenn solche Scheiße passiert, weil wir ja sonst eigentlich nicht so viel auf der Bühne machen". Pannen sorgten dafür, dass das Spielen nicht langweilig werde, so der Sänger.

Good afternoon.
Last night was our 99th gig of this tour. NINETY-FUCKIN'-NINE!!
I have to say the people of Wales were right up there with the best. What a choir!!! You could hear them in the valleys.
Kasabian again were fuckin' outrageous. If they're not selling out stadiums within 2 years I'll eat Joanna Lumley's shit!!
Can't remember great swathes of the night. Ricky "The Hitman" and Rhys "The (S)hit(faced)man" were on board for the evening. Apart from some woeful dj'ing by Romeo the night was a good 'un, I think.
Off to the South of France tonight. Someone's booked a random gig for us in Lyon (is that in the South of France?). Weather's nice, apparently.
Tous-tous le monde 'n' all that.

Great night last night. Watched all 3 bands. The Makers. The Enemy and Kasabian. From out front. All brilliant. It may have been the best I've ever seen from Kasabian. Great crowd. Very young. Very male. Saying that, you're never quite sure up in the north-east, could've been lots of girls there. Everyone looks the same!! Unbelievable audience though. Kind of makes you wish you were 20 again and down the front with your mates.
Anyway, enough of that bollocks. Little spotty-arse Ronaldo is finally leaving England!! £80m. To Real Madrid (they could've bought Newcastle for that). Good riddance, I say.
Am currently en route to Cardiff. This one WILL get messy. The Peth are opening up. All 10 of 'em. Apparently Rhys has broken his leg - and he's still doing the gig!! He fuckin' loves it.

| Noel Gallaghers Ansichten zu Glastonbury 2009 |
(Thorsten, 2009/06/16 - 21:32) Auf keinen Fall Franz Ferdinand: Noel Gallaghers Ansichten zu Glastonbury 2009
Oasis-Chef Noel Gallagher konnte es mal wieder nicht lassen. Ein Jahr nach den Lästerungen gegen Jay-Z gibt es auch 2009 wieder eine Band im Glastonbury-Line-up die ihm nicht zusagt: Franz Ferdinand. Auch ein Seitenhieb gegen Blur darf nicht fehlen.
"Hätte ich bei diesem Billing was zu sagen, würden Franz Ferdinand ganz sicher nicht drauf stehen", so Noel Gallagher im Interview mit einer britischen Radiostation. Warum ihm Franz Ferdinand ein Dorn im Auge sind, erklärt der Oasis-Chef aber nicht. An den anderen Headlinern wie Bruce Springsteen oder Neil Young hat Gallagher aber nichts auszusetzen.
Einen kleinen Seitenhieb gegen die ehemaligen Erzfeinde Blur – ebenfalls Headliner beim diesjährigen Glastonbury Festival – kann er sich genauso wenig verkneifen: "Na ja, wenn du ein Blur Fan bist, sie seit so vielen Jahren nicht mehr live gesehen hast und fast ein Leben lang warten musstest, bis sie erneut auftreten – dann sollte das Konzert dich ziemlich glücklich machen."
Bei Oasis sei das alles ganz anders, erklärt Gallagher: "Ich kann bloß unsere Songs spielen, ich kann nichts anderes. Ich kann keinen Jazz oder Reggae spielen oder chinesische Opern komponieren." Blur-Frontmann Damon Albarn hat ja in den letzten Jahren die virtuelle Band Gorillaz ins Leben gerufen und tatsächlich eine chinesische Oper komponiert.
"Wenn du bei Oasis bist, musst du gar nichts anderes machen. Das ist auch der Grund warum bei U2 niemand die Band verlässt," so Gallagher weiter. Was er dabei wohl offenbar vergessen hat: U2 gibt es seit 1978 in derselben Besetzung, während bei Oasis außer den Gallagher-Brüdern niemand mehr von der Originalbesetzung übrig ist.

Phew!! Have been having so much fun I've forgotten to stay in touch.
Been up in Mcr for 6 days. What a joy it's been. Them gigs were amazing.
You will be aware of the problems on the opening night. The PA blew up twice and we hadn't been onstage for 10 mins! Not the best start. But the crowd were pretty cool about it.
In hindsight we may have overreacted by offering refunds etc. If any of you who were there feel genuinely aggrieved and it spoiled your night I guess you'll somehow get your money back.
The weather, being very Mancunian, didn't get in the way of the other 2 nights being fantastic. Saturday was truly, truly special. It was a pleasure just to be there!
I feel though that I must just give one final little bit of "kudos" (her word, not mine) to Angela Bernstein - a ginger whinger from the MEN who has written a couple of shitty little pieces over the last few days. In them she claimed that we - and by that I mean YOU - had no "right" to "come up here" from London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Tokyo, LA, Milan, all over the world in fact, to "her" wonderful piece of England and enjoy ourselves and leave a little bit of mud. What a joyless old husk!! Pity Mr Bernstein - I'm assuming there is one - and her beloved little dog, that's what I say! The fact that people - young people (remember them grandma? You were probably one once) - from ALL OVER THE WORLD came to Mcr for the weekend, some for the first time, might actually not be all that bad a thing? Think of that the next time you're bent over in "your" park wiping your little dog's business. We probably paid for the bins you'll be dropping his poo-poo in.
To the rest of you. The 210,000 people who came to see us. The general consensus is that you were a credit to us - and by that I mean the band - and ultimately to yourselves.
I THANK YOU.
Am currently on the way to Newcastle to see Kasabian do a sneaky little gig tonight before we smash it in Sunderland tomorrow.

(Thorsten, 2009/06/09 - 21:17) Rhys Ifans hat sich den Fuß gebrochen - wenige Tage bevor seine Band bei einem Konzert von Oasis anheizen soll.
Der Schauspieler und Rocker wird mit Schmerzen spielen, wenn seine Band The Peth am Freitag (12. Juni 09) im Millenium Stadium in Cardiff im Vorprogramm der "Wonderwall"-Stars auf die Bühne geht. Ifans gibt zu, dass das Einzige, dass peinlicher als die Plastik-Fußbandage ist, die er zurzeit trägt, die Ursache der Verletzung ist. Ifans: "Es war ein sehr un-Rock'n'roll-mäßiger Unfall - ich spielte mit Kids Fußball und hatte nicht mal den Ball. Ich habe mir einen kleinen, aber sehr wichtigen Knochen gebrochen."

| Oasis forced to abandon Manchester Heaton Park stage |
(Thorsten, 2009/06/05 - 07:24) Boos as technical difficulties cause delays
Oasis were forced to abandon the stage twice at their huge headline show at Manchester's Heaton Park tonight (June 4) due to technical difficulties.
Liam and Noel Gallagher and co left the stage while generator problems were fixed, once during their opening song then during the second number. They then returned to play a full live set during which they vowed to give full refunds to the 70,000 fans in attendance.
At around 9pm (BST) following support slots from Twisted Wheel, Reverend And The Makers (standing in for The Enemy, who cancelled due to frontman Tom Clarke falling ill) and Kasabian the band began their set with 'Rock 'N' Roll Star'.
Oasis were forced to abandon the stage twice at their huge headline show at Manchester's Heaton Park tonight (June 4) due to technical difficulties.
Liam and Noel Gallagher and co left the stage while generator problems were fixed, once during their opening song then during the second number. They then returned to play a full live set during which they vowed to give full refunds to the 70,000 fans in attendance.
At around 9pm (BST) following support slots from Twisted Wheel, Reverend And The Makers (standing in for The Enemy, who cancelled due to frontman Tom Clarke falling ill) and Kasabian the band began their set with 'Rock 'N' Roll Star'.
The song was stopped due to sound problems. The band headed off stage for around ten minutes to the sound of boos from the crowd.
They then returned and began to play 'Lyla' - although that song was cut short due to further sound troubles.
The band left the stage again, while a message appeared on the stage screens declaring that the problems would be fixed as soon as technical staff could sort them out.
The message explained that generator failure was causing the issues, while smoke could be seen emanating from the equipment. It was then updated to say "Almost there!".
Oasis returned to the stage after around 40 minutes to successfully kick-start the set again with 'The Shock Of The Lightning' and 'Cigarettes And Alcohol', with the Gallaghers promising to give fans their money back.
"Really sorry about that," Liam Gallagher told the crowd. "This is a free gig now. Everyone will get a refund."
His brother Noel added: "The curfew's 11, but we'll play 'til they kick us off. Keep your ticket and you'll get your money back."
Later in the set, however, the logistics of the promised refunds seemed to trouble Noel. "We're not sure how its gonna work with getting the money back," he said before playing 'Half The World'. "Be on a website or summat. We're not getting paid for this so buy a t-shirt on the way out. Credit crunch and that, keep my kids in sweets.
"If you're getting your mum and dad to pick you up outside afterwards, tell we're not leaving til 2am. Kind of regret offering you your money back now. Apply for it back if you wanna be a cunt, we do our best for you."
The band played a 24-song set, ending with their customary cover of The Beatles' 'I Am The Walrus' at 11:20pm.
Oasis played:
'Fuckin' In The Bushes'
'Rock 'N' Roll Star'
'Lyla'
'The Shock Of The Lightning'
'Roll With It'
'Cigarettes And Alcohol'
'The Meaning Of Soul'
'To Be Where There's Life'
'Waiting For The Rapture'
'The Masterplan'
'Songbird'
'Slide Away'
'Morning Glory'
'My Big Mouth'
'The Importance Of Being Idle'
'Half The World'
'I'm Outta Time'
'Wonderwall'
'Live Forever'
'Supersonic'
'Don't Look Back In Anger'
'Fallin' Down'
'Champagne Supernova'
'I Am The Walrus'
They are set to play Heaton Park again on Saturday (June 6) and Sunday (7).

Now then. The summer of bigness is upon us. We are in the righteous North-West. In God's own city. Manchester.
Soundcheck went well yesterday, I think. Hard to tell when you're playing in an empty park. Looks good though.
Went round to Umbro last night to see Man City's new kits for next season. Tell you what, even if we don't win anything next season we'll be the best looking team in the league. No question. They are the bollocks. Got a free tracksuit top and all!
The Enemy have pulled out of tonight's show. Tom's got food poisoning. Shame. Was looking forward to seeing them for the 1st time. Nevermind. Big-John-the-Reverend and his Makers are doing the honours and stepping in.
While I'm on the subject of The Enemy. There's been an attempt by the NME to try and start some juvenille, pathetic feud between the bands in the run up to these gigs. Can I assure everyone that there is not and never will be anything between the working classes and its heroes.
If I personally see any weasel from the NME at these gigs (which is highly unlikely) they'll be getting escorted off site. In fact, you could do me a favour here. If you see an NME journalist at any of the gigs (and let's face it, they're pretty easy to spot; they don't stray far from hospitality, wear God-awful clothes - particularly the shoes - got dreadful hair and that kind of "mug me"
look about them), give 'em a clip round the ear-hole from me and tell 'em to behave.

| Wie ziehe ich mich an, um ein Hotelzimmer zu zertrümmern? |
(Thorsten, 2009/06/04 - 20:59) Rockstars mit eigener Modelinie sind en Vogue und die sich ergebenden Synergien lukrativ. Der neuste im Bunde: Liam Gallagher von Oasis. Heute lanciert er sein Label «Pretty Green».
Liam Gallagher, der notorische Rüpel-Britrocker hat ein neues Business-Modell: Zur Musik verkauft er künftig auch Mode - und zwar mit der gleichen Attitüde: direkt, ohne ein Blatt vor den Mund zu nehmen, aber mit dem Anspruch, klassisch zu werden. Und so lanciert er heute seine Modelinie mit dem hübschen Namen «Pretty Green». Standesgemäss wird auf der entsprechenden Website, die auch gleich der Online-Shop ist, vor «Explicit Language» gewarnt. Und diese wird auch gleich geliefert. «Can't wait for everyone to see it. And obviously buy it, you fuckers», sagt Gallagher im zugehörigen Video.
Mode mit Attitüde
Nachdem die Rapper in den Neunzigerjahren das Business mit Alkohol, Turnschuhen und Schmuck als Nebenzweig ihrer Beschäftigung mit Musik entdeckt hatten, streben heute die Rockstars ins Modebusiness. Die Zeiten werden härter und auch Kleider brauchen neue Verkaufsargumente. Was bietet sich da mehr an als gelebter Rock 'n' Roll? Wer also das ideale Outfit sucht, um ein Hotelzimmer zu zertrümmern, kann von einer ganzen Liste designender Rocker auswählen: Gwen Stefani hat ihr Label «L.A.M.B.», Linkin Park Frontmann Chester Bennington betreibt seine eigene Linie «Ve'cel», die Good-Charlotte-Rocker und Brüder Benji and Joel Madden besitzen die DCMA-Kleiderlinie und Justin Timberlake stellte vergangenen Herbst seine Jeanslinie, die er zusammen mit William Rast betreibt, an der New York Fashion Week vor.
Ob die Musiker dabei tatsächlich selber als Designer fungieren, spielt keine grosse Rolle. Wichtiger ist die Botschaft, die via Kleidung transportiert werden soll. Und tatsächlich führten Mode und das Rockbusiness schon seit den Anfängen eine mal mehr, mal weniger leidenschaftliche Affäre: Models hängten sich schon immer gern an Rockstars, während die Designer sich auch immer wieder Inspiration bei der rockenden Zunft holen, oder sie gleich wie im Fall von Karl Lagerfeld und Amy Winehouse zur Muse erheben.
Keine Werbegeschenke
Winehouse soll in ihrem Resort in St. Lucia übrigens auch am Aufbau einer eigenen Kleiderlinie herumwerkeln. Schliesslich weiss man nie, wie lange die Musikkarriere noch weitergehen wird.
Liam Gallagher hat seine Hausaufgaben übrigens gemacht und betreibt brav Cross-Marketing. Um seine Kleiderlinie zu promoten, hat er den bislang unveröffentlichten Oasis-Song «Man Of Misery» auf Pretty-Green-Page gestellt. Ansonsten macht er aber keine Geschenke. In einem Interview mit den Manchester «Evening News »verkündete er, dass sein Bruder und Bandkollege Noel keine kostenlose Kleidung des Labels bekommen werde: «Der Kleine wird seine eigenen Pretty Green Klamotten kaufen müssen», sagte er. «Er bekommt keine Werbegeschenke!»
