Posted June 20, 200718 yr Oasis Diss Razorlight And The Kaiser Chiefs http://www.musicrooms.net/cm/live/articlefiles/4875-oasis.jpg Musicrooms.net Oasis' Noel Gallagher has described the contributions of Razorlight and the Kaiser Chiefs on The Beatles, 'Sgt Pepper' tribute album as "embarrassing." Speaking about his bands own contribution to the album, Gallagher revealed that he found it hard to watch the efforts of the other bands. "I was watching Kaiser Chiefs and Razorlight on the documentary and with the greatest respect to those two bands, it was embarrassing. I was embarrassed for them," he said. "Luckily for us we grew learning to play together in the same room, so we didn't do a great many takes. I think we got it on the sixth." Talking to the BBC about the project - which was carried out to coincide with the 40th anniversary of The Beatles 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' album - Gallagher, who also turned forty this year, spoke candidly about his personal relationship with the album. "Sgt Pepper is special for me because I was born on the 29th May, and it came out on the 1st June, so when I was being born in St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, it was being played on hospital radio." He continued: "Because the songs are not rocking or having it, it's very floaty and dreamy, I think the older you get the more you appreciate it." The Oasis guitarist also revealed that it was his brother Liam that picked The Beatles song, 'Within You, Without You,' that Oasis re-recorded for the album. He said: "When we were approached, I wasn't overly enthusiastic. I was thinking it was a bit pointless going there to copy the Beatles because it was never going to be as good. But I said if Liam wants to do it, I'll do it, so he was up for it and decided he was going to pick the song." "I just assumed he would say 'A Day In The Life,' but he came back with 'Within You, Without You,' and I was like 'what? There's no guitars on it!' Although the whole album was recorded by the original album's sound engineer, Geoff Emerick, Gallagher revealed that Oasis were the only band to use the original sound desk. He said: "The BBC bent over backwards and managed to book a couple of days in the studio. "The desk was in Lenny Kravitz studio, and somehow they managed to convince him it would be a good idea to rip it out, ship it to England, let us work on it, and ship it back again."
