Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere Vol 3: The Good, The Bad and The Bubbly:
Now then... What's happening? Anything exciting? No? Excellent!!!!
I didn't bother sending regular updates from Japan as the days to tend to be quite similar over there... MITHER, FUSS, MITHER, FUSS, PROMO, FUSS, SOUNDCHECK, MITHER, MORE PROMO,
MITHER AND FUSS, GIG, FUSS AND MITHER, HOTEL, FUSS, BULLET TRAIN, MITHER, MITHER, MITHER...repeat. Didn't seem any point bothering you with it.
Here then is a quick round up:
Every day is the same... hassled in hotel lobbies... chased through train stations... arrive at the gig... marvel at the latest brass section... There was one particularly shit mob in. Can't remember now but they were awful...funny almost.
Some guy at one of the shows had a placard held what said: "WHAT COLOUR UNDERPANTS ARE YOU WEARING?". I'd like to say the crowd were stunned into silence when I told them I don't wear underwear onstage, but as it was quieter than a comedy club that Madonna's doing stand up at (did you see that thing? Holy shit balls!!) I'm not sure anyone noticed, least of all me!
Been given some truly wonderful gifts by that mob. Not a day goes by that someone's not thrusting something or other at you shouting "GIFT FOR YOU!!" or "GIFT FOR SARA!!" or "GIFT FOR YOUR CHILDREN!!"
Bless you and thanks by the way if any of those people were you.
I did get a bit concerned when someone give me this bag of...stuff. In amongst it was a box with, what I would describe as, quite shouty Japanese writing on it. Being curious and all that I decided to open it up and see what was in it. Turns out it was individually wrapped little mini chocolate bars. BINGO!! I put the kettle on and sat down to sample the delights of yer oriental fun size snack. I'm on about my 3rd little shouty chocolate things when I start examining the box and I notice that underneath the shouty Japanese writing is, written in shouty English, "The legend: BLACK THUNDER!!" Black thunder? I'm thinking... Oh fuck these better not be laxatives!!
The lad with the placard followed the entire tour with different variations on his original sign, at least I think it was him... My favourite being him holding up a sign with just a pair of underpants drawn on with the words: "WHAT COLOUR ARE THEY?" He was obsessed!
The interviews were as you might imagine... Unique I think is the best way to put it.
Someone asked me about our "upcoming erection?"... 'Scuse me? Who gives a fuck about that anyway? 79% of the fiscal this...2.4% growth of the annual that, spend, cut, borrow, lend, build...blah, blah FUCKING BLAH. Say something radical you utterly contemptible bastards.
Sorry about that. Where were we? Yes... Tokyo, The Budokan, a great way to end the tour... 2 nights.
Excellent shows. First night was my favourite. The sun even came out. Lovely!
Japanese fans you are without doubt the most strangely strange yet oddly normal people in the whole world.
Thank you for everything... until Fuji Rock... SAYO-FUCKIN'-NARA!
You currently find me at home, alone, in our kitchen. Nancy and the 2 princes have gone out for the day to a safari park. Even the cat's gone out!!
The silence is deafening...bit like in Osaka!!
Keep it livid yeah?
GD.
PS:on that tour I listened mostly to:
Sunday Shining by Finley Quaye.
Cymbeline by Pink Floyd.
Lunatics Lament by Kevin Ayres.
Everybody's Got To Clap by LuLu.
Going My Way by Paul Weller.
Just One Time by Juicy Lucy.
Work Your Body by Moonbotica.
Guöngyhaju lány by Omega.
Get the fuck on that lot!!

Cause if history has prove anything denying the reunion outright will totally stop the rumors in the track. At some point Noel needs to just get on with it and not engage in every rumor circulating. And for all those upset about the lack of songs on the last entry...I think he's made up for it with this one.  |

Erection? A damn you autocorrect right there! I think that was a bit a a crack about "engrish." The Japanese frequently mix up the l and r sounds so it's possible the journalist actually did ask about the erection instead of the election Or it could have been autocorrect as you say. |

Well, this was the best post thus far in this tour. And we got a whole playlist this time!  |

Does anyone remember when Noel was doing this tour diary back in 2008? Any idea where I could find those entries? He actually mentioned me in one and I'd love to find it again! LOL

Thanks Eva! I found it! The dates seem a bit off, because this entry was from September 5th, not September 3rd. I got backstage in Montreal (which was on the 5th), which Noel confirms too because he begins this post with "Bonjour", as you can see. Anyway, I was talking to him and told him I was reading his blog online. You should have seen his face, LMAO! Then the next day I read this, and just about died laughing. I was the "somebody" LOL! Here's a screen capture:  |

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere Vol 3: The Good, The Bad And The Bubbly
10.05.2015
Bonjour… I was going to go straight into a rambling sprawling tale of this N. American tour so far.
But I must tell you I'm getting increasingly irritated by writing these things now. I think I've probably said all there is to say about life on the road.
Before I bow out I will tell you this N. American leg has so far been fucking excellent. I've only done 4 shows. The first 2 in Canada were 2 of the best I ever did and the rest have been even better.
It's been a pleasure posting these things over the last few years but quite frankly I can't be arsed anymore. Needless to say IF I feel the need to set the record straight about whatever somewhere down the line then I may well be in touch. But for now and the foreseeable future, adios.
ONWARDS.
NG.

What a lazy vagina, what else has he got to do on the tour bus? I think the "b word" has scared him off.

What a shame!!!
I absolutely loved his tales!!!
'Can't be arsed anymore' seems like a bit of a lame excuse?!
What's happening??
Not happy….. (and yes, I am entitled to say this because in some way, I've helped towards kitting out his bathroom all the way since the 90s, in case anyone's wondering ;-))

"Can't be arsed anymore" Oh FFS. Sounds alot like this... www.nme.com/news/noel-gallagher/85232I'm certain he's stopping because of the drama he stirred up and pissed off Liam. "Needless to say IF I feel the need to set the record straight about whatever somewhere down the line then I may well be in touch." |
