Man Behind Oasis Says Noel and Liam will Play Together Again One Day

The record company exec who signed Oasis and helped launch Britpop on the world says he thinks the band will reform in the future.

According to NME.com, Alan McGee, one-time head of Creation Records, told BBC 6 Music: “Even if it’s not the Morning Glory tour, I think you will see Oasis play again, not as a band like [Primal] Scream but I can see them doing a huge gig for charity in a few years but they’ve just got to stop insulting each other.”

The colorful music biz impresario is currently working on a stage production with Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting, telling NME it has “nothing to do with Creation or Britpop in that respect.”

Mick Jones, Paul Simonon Play Clash Songs Together

Last night (December 8), Mick Jones partnered with former Clash bandmate Paul Simonon to perform Clash material together for the first time since 1982. As reported by NME.com, the show, staged at the Scala in London, saw the duo perform 12 Clash songs in total.

Musician guests who joined in included singer-songwriter Pete Wylie, Richard Archer of the band Hard-Fi, and members of The Farm. The set included several Clash classics, including “London Calling,” “Train in Vain,” “Guns of Brixton” and “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” Jones wrapped up the show with a rendition of The Farm’s “All Together Now,” which he dedicated to the memory of John Lennon.

The event was part of a series of concerts staged throughout England to support the Hillsborough Justice Campaign. The organization was formed in the wake of the 1989 Hillsborough football tragedy, in which 96 people lost their lives.

Pink Floyd Back on Stage Together (with Video)

Pink Floyd’s surviving members reunited on stage in London last night, playing powerful renditions of “Comfortably Numb” and “Outside the Wall” during the second night of Roger Waters’ six-night stand at the O2 Arena.

This was only the second time that Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason have played together in the past three decades – the first being at their Live 8 performance in 2005. Keyboardist Richard Wright has since died, succumbing to cancer in 2008.

Together, Waters and Gilmour tackled “Comfortably Numb,” which seemed to make the crowd anything but. Towards the end of the night, as Waters played “Outside the Wall,” both Gilmour and Mason appeared on stage. Reprising the same role he played on Pink Floyd’s 1980/1981 tour, Gilmour played his solo atop the Wall.

Fans hoping that last night marks the beginning of a Pink Floyd reunion shouldn’t hold their breath.

“I should also remind you that tonight is most definitely a one-off,” said Gilmour’s blog yesterday. “David is not repeating his special guest performance at a later occasion, I’m sorry to disappoint those of you with fingers crossed and tickets for later shows.”

Waters’ The Wall tour will continue through July.
