OASIS Faq

Q

February 1998

Liam Gallagher's behaviour is causing concern after he pulled out of gigs at the Dublin Point on December 4th and 5th, stormed off-stage at the Glasgow SECC on December 7th, then ripped up Paul McCartney's recent biography, 'Many Years From Now', at the city's airport two days later and poured lager over ITN journalist Tim Rogers who was covering the Gary Glitter concert at Cardiff on December 9th.
An Oasis spokesman claims that Gallagher pulled out of the Dublin shows at the last minute when he was told by doctors to rest his throat after developing throat problems. His decision was so late that the audience were only informed as they entered the venue.
The second incident occured when Bonehead was hit on the leg by a glass bottle thrown by a member of the audience.
Gallagher, now back in full-flow, immediately stopped singing "Wonderwall" and shouted: "Somebody has f*****g thrown a bottle and we are not f*****g putting up with that."
When they didn't return, a riot broke out with seats ripped up and a Pizza Hut stall was torn down. The SECC's security guards were unable to deal with the situation and police arrived to escort fans from the venue. They arrested 11 people for minor offences.
Oasis played a second gig in glasgow which passed without incident but Gallagher was unable to control his anger when he spotted a copy of the recently published Paul McCartney book, "Many Years From Now", at Glasgow airport. He threwit from a balcony, picked up a bin which he emptied onto the floor, then grabbed the biography again and started ripping out the pages. Gallagher was hurt by Paul McCartney's comment in Q136 that Oasis didn't mean anything to him.
Back in October, the erratic Oasis star also had a go at The Beatles and the "other snakes" for being "senile" and "not getting enough meat pies".
The band flew to Cardiff and Gallagher was driven to his hotel where he behaved without restraint once again. He crossed the foyer of Jury's Hotel, had a brief chat with ITN's Welsh & West Country correspondent Tim Rogers, who was sat in the lobby drinking tea. He then poured several drinks over the hapless reporter's head before marching off.
Last January, Gallagher was cautioned at London's Marylebone Police Station for possession of a small amount of cocaine, and received another caution in July for criminal damage after he grabbed hold of a cyclist through the window of his chauffeur-driven Mercedes in Camden, London.

"Red Menace - Why Are All These Stars Wearing Red Wrist Bands and Necklaces"
In an article on stars wearing red wrist bands and necklaces is a picture of Meg Matthews wearing a red necklace - apparently a symbol from Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism based on the Five Books of Moses; the red thread means the wearer is into Love, Spiritual Enlightenment and Friendship.

"Thy Neighbour's Ox - The Identity Bracelet"
And in a similar article about pop stars wearing silver identity bracelets is a picture of Noel with his.

where it's at...Be Here Now
Alongside pictures of the "Be Here Now" album sleeve and the hotel at which the cover pictures were taken.
Cover: Photograph of The Stocks Hotel, Albury, Near Tring, Hertfordshire, set in the Chilterns. Oasis found the hotel through an agent but have never spent a night there. On April 16, 1997 the band arrived in the morning and spent the whole day shooting the cover. The day's business included emptying the pool, lowering a Rolls Royce onto scaffolding before re-filling the swimming area to look as if the car had been driven into it. The fence surrounding the pool was ripped out and then replaced when the shoot was over.
Location: The hotel is an 18th century Georgian mansion, formerly owned by the Brondesbury family. Hugh Hefner used to train Bunny Girls there for his Playboy club, and Victor Lownes initially lived there, before turning the mansion into a private club. It's been under its current ownership for the last decade and is now run as a hotel and golf club.
