Andy Bell: 'Song Dispute With Adam Ant Has Nothing To Do With Liam Gallagher'

Beady Eye's Andy Bell: 'Song dispute with Adam Ant has nothing to do with Liam Gallagher'

Guitarist says that ex-Oasis frontman has been 'dragged' into argument.

Beady Eye guitarist Andy Bell has said that Liam Gallagher had "nothing to do" with the dispute over a track he penned that was used by Adam Ant.

As was previously reported, Adam Ant pleaded with Gallagher to deal with him "man to man" to settle the dispute, which prompted the former Oasis frontman to describe him as "nutty" in the latest issue of NME.

However, in a statement released today, Bell said that it was his decision to not allow Ant to feature the song on his solo album and claimed it was unfair that Gallagher had been "dragged into" the argument.

Gallagher has since been blasted by mental health charity Mind for his comments, but Bell said: "I have never met or worked with Adam Ant. We have a mutual friend who I had played around on a track with who then passed the music over to Adam without my knowledge.

"I then explained the track couldn't be used for his album (this was just a rough demo) and thought the matter was closed. Adam then mentioned in the press he had recorded with one of Oasis, but Liam Gallagher had banned the track from being used.

"Liam had no idea about my vague connection until this happened. He has never met him either, or even heard the track."

Bell then went on to conclude:

It was totally my decision not to allow the track to be used, and I'm annoyed at Liam being dragged into this situation which has nothing at all to do with him.

Liam Gallagher Tells Adam Ant To "Bring It On Any Time, You Fu**ing Cowboy"

Liam Gallagher has told Adam Ant to "bring it on, any time, you f**king cowboy."

The Beady Eye front man was questioned by readers of the NME Magazine if he had any words for the singer who threatened to take him on "man-to-man" earlier this year.

Liam was also questioned if he was a fan of his music, back in the day?

The singer told the NME "Adam And The Ants? No. Not into a geezer who wears make-up. Especially f**king nutty ones. And tell him, 'You're not the only c*nt who's off his tits.'"

Adam Ant: Liam Gallagher's Attitude Is Unacceptable

Adam Ant has said that Russell Brand's behaviour was typical of many modern celebrities, a breed for whom he has little time. "I've never liked people like that," he says, waving his hands, "like Damien Hirst – that's not art, it's commerce! – and I've always hated stroppy [celebrity] behaviour, like that of the Gallaghers. Not the older one, Noel, he's OK, but Liam. His attitude, well, it's unacceptable."

Ant is currently at war with the younger Gallagher, a state prompted after he collaborated with the former Oasis bassist Andy Bell – now in Liam's new band Beady Eye – on a song called "Cool Zombie", which features on Ant's new album. "He told me there'd be trouble if I put the song on my record, but nobody tells me what to do, nobody. This is a personal thing between me and him, and we will deal with it man-to-man."

Adam Ant Would Like To Fight With Liam Gallagher

Taken from a inteview with Adam Ant, read the full interview here.

I'm a punk rocker, I'm a pirate metal rocker now because these guys, metal, they look great, they're sexy, they play hardcore and they don't give a monkeys. And they look like Hayley. And you. So why not, fuck them. No really, I'd love to go on there. I'd love Paul Morley, Liam Gallagher talking about style. Oasis have been ruling the roost, remaking Beatles records and trying to convince people it's not. They've got one fucking song, 'Wonderwall'. What else you got? I mean, Noel's OK but hey, you ain't fucking Miles Davies, you certainly ain't fucking Bryan Ferry and you aint Adam Ant, Charlie."

He's won some kind of poll in Q magazine for the best front man ever

AA: "Well in my view he's the best backman. I mean, I've got a Q Award, I don't give a fuck. I gave it to me mum. Q, I mean fucking hell it must have cost them all of 30 pence, they can stick it up their ass. Those ones up there, the Ivor Novello awards, they're the only ones I've got in my flat because they are for songwriting, they're Oscars. I've not met the man, I mean he's probably a very nice chap…"

No he's not, I've met him

AA: "Marc Bolan was lovely. Bryan Ferry was lovely. Michael Jackson was lovely. Liza Minelli was lovely. I'm dropping these names because I fucking met these people and they taught me something: Be nice. People that are really brilliant are really nice, people that ain't got a lot of mouth. So here you go Liam, you cunt. I'd like to have a fight with him whichever way he wants: physically, mentally I'd beat him in anyway shape or form, I know that."

Well, if anyone ever needed a slap…

AA: "Yeah but he's probably got a very big bodyguard, but that's alright because I've got Hayley. I mean even the Spice Girls offered him out and he wouldn't take it."

Adam Ant Collaborating With 'Member Of Oasis' On New Album?

Plus Ant tells NME.COM he wants to release a Malcolm McLaren tribute single.

Adam Ant has confirmed to NME.COM that he is working on his first album in 15 years, and that an ex-Oasis member reportedly plays on it.

The album, which will be named 'Adam Ant Is The Blueblack Hussar in Marrying The Gunner's Daughter', also features collaborations with former 3 Colours Red guitarist Chris McCormack and Ant's long-time songwriting partner Marco Pirroni.

He said that "one of the songs features a member of Oasis". Morrissey's writing partner Boz Boorer is also understood to have contributed to the album.

According to Ant, the album is a "live record that lends itself to performance" and will feature a "kind of concept. It's a very old fashioned, old school, step-by-step album".

In addition, Ant has recorded a song in tribute to the late Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, who died earlier this month, and who also once managed Adam & The Ants.

Named 'Who's A Goofy Bunny Then?', the track was only previously available as a demo recorded in the early '80s, but Ant says he wants to release a new version in tribute to the late punk manager.
