Liam Gallagher: 'Beady Eye's Album Is Better Than 'Definitely Maybe''

1 comment














Liam Gallagher has told NME that he thinks Beady Eye's debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' contains songs "as good as 'Definitely Maybe', if not better".

The singer was speaking in a world-exclusive interview in this week's Christmas issue of NME, on UK newsstands tomorrow (December 15) and available digitally worldwide.

He declared the album, out February 28, a "fucking top debut".

Gallagher said: "The musicians are better [than Oasis circa-'Definitely Maybe'], without a doubt. I'm singing as well as I ever have." He added that the album is "up there, no question" with 'Definitely Maybe' and added that "we're gonna be fucking massive".

Elsewhere in the interview Gallagher gave his views on new bands including The Vaccines and Brother. He branded the former "boring" and accused Brother of being "little fucking posh lads with tattoos".

Liam also spoke about his relationship with Noel Gallagher following Oasis' split in August 2009.

Read the full interview in this week's issue of NME.

The singer told the pub's owners, "If I'm here, then people will come in - right?"

Liam Gallagher Talks Football And More

No comments



















On his return home to Manchester, Liam Gallagher tells Peter Fraser about the Premier League title race, Lionel Messi and that 'geezer' Mario Balotelli.

"Hmmm, don't know, man. The usual," said Liam Gallagher as he considered Manchester City's winter transfer options in the glamorous setting of his new Pretty Green fashion boutique on its opening day in his hometown.

Another try for Kaka, he has been injured? "No, not him, man. The usual, little (Lionel) Messi. He's good," added the former Oasis frontman from beneath the rim of his fedora hat before breaking off to compliment a photographer on her scarf clad in his beloved club's colours.

'He's good' was perhaps somewhat of a play-down assessment of Barcelona and Argentina's mercurial No.10. But it epitomises the throwaway, carefree manner that fans who once worshipped the likes of Uwe Rosler and Shaun Goater can now refer to a World Player of the Year, which has of course been the case ever since Sheikh Mansour's billions rolled into town in 2008.

The bar has been raised. And what of expectations this season? Can 'noisy neighbours' City upset the established order of Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, Carlo Ancelotti's defending champions Chelsea or Arsene Wenger's Arsenal in the Premier League this season?

Now Beady Eye star Liam, who releases the group's debut album, 'Different Gear, Still Speeding', at the end of February before going on tour in March, said: "Do I think we can win the title? Yeah, without a doubt. Whether we do or not is another thing. But I think we can, we're getting there."

He added: "I like that Balotelli geezer, that Mario dude. He's top, he's smart."

But there is of course trouble brewing at City. Pictures of 'that Balotelli geezer' involved in a training ground bust-up with Jerome Boateng could be compared to the in-house Britpop clashes of Liam and older brother and former Oasis band-mate, Noel, while only last weekend captain Carlo Tevez was involved in an unwanted touchline row with manager Roberto Mancini.

Curtain-raiser

Did Liam think such seditious events might undermine the greater cause? "Who knows? But Tevez is a star and all. He's doing well," he said.

"Like Mancini says, you don't want people coming off the pitch, they want to stay on."

Skysports.com had been lucky enough to grab a rare, quick football chat with Liam after receiving the honour of an invite to the glittering, Champagne curtain-raiser of his plush Pretty Green pop-up store on Manchester's trendy King Street.

One of the most iconic members of rock 'n' roll's history has founded and designed the clothing label in his own mould of style, swagger and stellar impact, which has already led to the huge success of a flagship branch that took up residence on London's famed Carnaby Street in the summer.

Another pop-up store in Glasgow, the city where Oasis were first spotted by original label, Creation Records, in 1993, has also opened to give further indication that the venture into fashion is proving a shrewd decision.

It is easy to see why. In an understated location among atmospheric buildings that mirror the Pretty Green Mod inspiration of the art and music of the 1960s, the Manchester store is about as slick as it gets.

It is a homecoming for Liam, who was born in the city's Burnage neighbourhood, and he has described the project as an "absolute privilege". He is determined to make it a success and, if looks are anything to go by, it will not be a disappointment.

Unbelievable poise

Stepping through the glass doors of the Kings Street branch of Pretty Green, you are greeted by premises of unbelievable poise. This is the brainchild of a man who is Cool Britannia epitomised, a hero of a generation and beyond, the voice behind the anthemic 'Live Forever', or the iconic 'Columbia' and 'Slide Away'.

The style is sheik minimalist, with high ceilings and retro leather furniture, while giant mirrors and pictures of Liam modelling his designs adorn the walls. As a treat for the opening day, Mani, of Stone Roses and Primal Scream fame, was DJ-ing and spinning out 1960-era classics from the likes of The Who.

Liam has always been a hit with football followers, both musically and culturally, epitomising the one-of-the-lads atmosphere that emerged in the mid-1990s and explaining a gathering of more than 100 shoppers/fans. It is not difficult to understand that his fashion-sense has also struck the right note with the aesthetically-minded on the terraces.

Attire varies from a 'green label', which is a'focused, casual range dedicated to providing quality, everyday signature pieces', to a 'black label' of 'classic British tailoring, using fine fabrics with an innovative attention to detail'. As a result, Pretty Green has already picked up the 2010 Menswear Brand of the Year at the prestigious Drapers Fashion Awards.

'Green label' caters for denim jeans and jackets to fur-trimmed parkas; crew-neck T-shirts to merino cardigans; silk scarves to desert boots. 'Black label' offers velvet peacoats to dogtooth trousers; paisley print collarless shirts to vintage pinstripe blazers; roll-necked knitwear to trenchcoats.

To make matters all the more appealing, prices are of a designer level, but they are not set at the extortionate value of some brands that only cater for those with a bank balance to match the millionaires in City's squad.

Whether Liam's dream of City signing Messi and winning the Premier League become a reality in 2011 remains to be seen, but it is not tough to imagine Pretty Green going from strength to strength.

Liam Gallagher Speaks About Beady Eye

No comments



Liam Gallagher says the debut album from his new band Beady Eye will "blow people's heads off."

He said: "I feel good man, I'm confident. It's a good album, good tunes, I'm singing great, it's good.

"Obviously I'm singing and I'm not singing any different than I was in Oasis, although I like to think I'm singing a bit better than that, because I've had a bit of time off.

"It's just rock 'n' roll man, Beatles and The Stones, you know what I mean? We've not gone dubstep or anything.

"I think we've got a lot of energy back, a lot of energy that we might have lost in the later days of Oasis, you know what I mean? The music is light on its feet and we're stomping a bit."

Liam also whetted the appetites of gig-goers as Beady Eye prepare to hit the road in March.

He added: "Without a doubt the smaller gigs are where it's at. You only do the big ones for financial reasons, but I'm looking forward to playing gigs big, small, whatever. It's gonna be great.

"We're rehearsing at the moment and it's gonna blow people's heads off. We're gonna go all over the world."

He was speaking at the launch of his clothes shop Pretty Green in Manchester and admitted his new material will sound like Oasis but he thinks that's no bad thing.

Crowds Queue At Launch Of Liam Gallagher's Pretty Green Clothing Store

No comments















He may be the king of rock ’n’ roll swagger – but Liam Gallagher admitted to some opening-day nerves as he launched his first fashion boutique in Manchester.

The former Oasis frontman is hoping his Pretty Green fashion label will reign in King Street after taking over the former Joseph store at the top of the prestigious retail parade.

Liam, 38, told the M.E.N: “It always feels a bit weird coming back to your home town. There are always nerves about how you’ll be received but it’s looking good so far. If people are into it they’re into it, and if they’re not they’re not.

“It’s keeping me off the streets, you know what I mean? I just hope it continues to go on and keeps getting better.”

A queue of more than 100 shoppers and fans snaked along King Street as punters eagerly awaited their first look inside Liam’s store.

He chose the King Street location after scouting a number of retail spots in the city centre. His men’s fashion label was launched 18 months ago – initially through Selfridges.

Liam, who opened his first ‘pop-up’ boutique in London, was due to travel up to Glasgow to open a third store – but had to cancel because of the bad weather.

Asked why he had chosen King Street, he said: “I came here about three months ago and I thought King Street, that sounds good to me, man. The prices are a bit high though aren’t they?

“I just liked the building. It’s old, it looks good. I didn’t want to be in some greenhouse or something.”

Since launching his debut range Liam has found himself the toast of the fashion world – winning a prestigious Drapers Award for best menswear brand. His mod-influenced menswear – including Liam’s trademark parka – has also been worn by a host of celebrities.

Liam is soon to return to the ‘day job’, releasing an album with his new group Beady Eye in February with a tour to follow in March. The band formed after Liam’s well-publicised fall out with brother Noel in 2009 – which led to the ‘indefinite hiatus’ of Oasis.

Liam said: “I can’t wait to get back out there doing gigs, and doing what I do best.

“It’s rock ’n’ roll, man, singing, it’s what I love.”
