Kings Of Leon slam Qantas Airways for 'fucking up' their tour plans!

Kings Of Leon's Nathan Followill has slammed Qantas Airways after the carrier's flight cancellations 'fucked up' the band's tour plans.

Flights from the Australian airline have remained grounded for a second day today (October 30) after a row between management and three of its unions over proposed job cuts.

This has forced the Followills to take diverted flights to reach their rescheduled gigs Down Under next week, something that has rankled the drummer.

Writing on his Twitter page, Twitter.com/doctorfollowill, the drummer said:

Dear Qantas, u suck, thanks 4 fucking up my trip 2 Oz. Joberg-Dubai-Sydney. 24 hours in the air. That's how much I love Oz.

He added: "The silver lining is that we are throwing one hell of a halloween party on the plane. I'm going as the drunk guy in seat 5a."

The band played in Johannesburg, South Africa last night (29) and are due to kick off their Australian dates next Friday (November 4) at Sydney's Acer Arena, with shows in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth also pencilled in.

The gigs, originally slated for March, were rescheduled after Nathan sustained an arm injury in January, putting him out of action for three months.

U2's Bono: 'We have to make hits if we are to survive'

U2 frontman Bono has questioned the band's future again, declaring that if the four-piece are to "survive" they need to come back with an album of hits.

The singer admitted they have struggled to produce hit singles over the last few years especially on their last LP 'No Line On The Horizon' with the first single off the record 'Get On Your Boots' failing to chart in the Top 10 while the remaining singles didn't even get into the Top 20.

Bono made the admission as the band prepare to re-issue their 1991 seminal album 'Achtung Baby', which spawned Number One chart topper 'The Fly', on Monday (October 31).

He told The Sun: "We've been on the verge of irrelevance for the last 20 years, dodged, ducked, dived, made some great work, I hope along the way and the occasional faux pas.

"But this moment now, for me feels like really close to the edge of relevance. We can be successful and we can play the big music and the big places.

Whether we can play music for small speakers of the radio or clubs or where people are living right now, remains to be seen, we have to go to that place again if we are to survive.

The singer recently said he would be happy if U2 wrapped up their career now. He added that if the four-piece do return it will be some time before they re-surface.

Beady Eye's Liam Gallagher still pushing for Oasis reunion in 2015

Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher is still pushing for an Oasis reunion in 2015 despite his brother Noel Gallagher flatly denying that will ever happen.

The singer said there is a strong possibility that the band will still get back together to mark the 20th anniversary of their seminal album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' in 2015 because he believes the pair will have both "grown up" by then.

But he also said for the first time that the reunion is likely to be temporary. He told Canadian TV show George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight:

Noel is the one that started this kind of thing. But I'm definitely up for doing a tour. I don't think me and him will ever be in a full-on band again that's done, I think.

He added "But Noel was mentioning, like, a tour for the 2015 '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' and I think, by then, three years, I will have grown up a bit by then and so will he." The frontman also said following the reunion he would return to Beady Eye and Noel would return to his solo material.

Noel recently expressed an interest in reforming the band in 2015 but then he distanced himself from a reunion saying he would have no involvement.

"He's got my permission to go and play it," he added. "He can play it if he wants. I don't mind. I left that band for a reason and that reason still stands."

Noel Gallagher included nine Oasis songs in his setlist as he played his first ever gig with his High Flying Birds solo band in Dublin last night (October 23).

Kicking off his debut UK and Ireland tour at the city's Olympia Theatre, the singer/guitarist's new group also included a brand new track, titled 'Freaky Teeth', among their 20-song setlist.

After walking onstage to 'Blue Moon' – the anthem of Gallagher's beloved Manchester City, who had beaten arch rivals United 6-1 a few hours before the gig – the band opened up with 1994 Oasis b-side '(It's Good) To Be Free', following it with 'Don't Believe The Truth' track 'Mucky Fingers'.

Later, Gallagher also gave nods to his previous band with renditions of 'Wonderwall', 'Supersonic', 'Talk Tonight' and 'Half The World Away'. Meanwhile, the three song encore was made up entirely of Oasis tracks, starting with 'Don't Look Back In Anger', moving on to 'The Importance Of Being Idle' before closing with 'Little By Little'.

The rest of the set was made up by tracks from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' self-titled debut album, which went straight to Number One in the UK album chart a couple of hours before the gig.

Singles 'The Death Of You And Me' and 'AKA… What A Life' were met with a rapturous reception from the crowd, who chanted Gallagher's name throughout the gig.

Gallagher also engaged in banter with fans about the aforementioned football result, responding to boos from the crowd by saying:

That's piss poor that is. You should be proud of yourself booing a man at his first gig.

'(It's Good) To Be Free'
'Mucky Fingers'
'Everybody's On The Run'
'Dream On'
'If I Had A Gun'

Butch Vig: 'Garbage cleared excess baggage during five-year hiatus'

Butch Vig has claimed Garbage's five-year hiatus gave the band the chance to "clear any excess baggage out of [our] head space".

The drummer and producer confirmed to Billboard.com that the band are planning to self-release their new album – their first new studio material since 2005's 'Bleed Like Me' – in spring 2012.

Vig said:

We're out of all our corporate responsibilities from the past, and initially we thought that was terrifying but now we think it's liberating. We're going to put the record out on our own label and just figure out how to licence it and market it because we want it under our control.

Speaking about how the record is likely to sound, he added: "There's lots of elements of things we've always loved: noisy guitars, big electronic beats, atmospheric film moments. [We] wanted to make a record that sounded like something that we want to hear when we're driving the car."

Last month, singer Shirley Manson revealed that the band had rough mixes of 24 songs, with working titles of the tracks including 'Time Will Destroy Everything', 'Blood For Poppies', 'Automatic Systematic Habit', 'Control', 'Lies, Lies, Lies', 'Sugar', 'Not Your Kind Of People', 'TROUBLE', 'Felt', 'Big Brite World', 'Alone' and 'Animal'.

She added that the album was set to be the "best collection of songs of our career".
