Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Charismatic ex-Oasis singer Liam Gallagher talks to Neil McCormick about his new band Beady Eye .
'People know me as Oasis, so it will be weird for a bit. It’s like a transvestite walking into a room and going, 'Right, that’s it – I’m called Lisa now.’ But people will be calling their kids Beady Eye by the end of the year.”
Oh, it’s good to have him back. Liam Gallagher, last of the great, unreconstructed rock stars, returns next week with his new band, Beady Eye. So named, apparently, in order to be placed in record racks next to the Beatles “instead of the ----ing Osmonds.” Never the most shy and retiring of frontmen, Gallagher has been declaiming his greatness to anyone who will listen, describing his latest offering as “proper rock and roll. Oasis was a pop band compared with what we’re doing.”
Well, they were certainly popular. When Oasis swaggered from the streets of Manchester and into the hearts of the nation in 1994, their Beatles-meets-Led Zeppelin bluster kicked off Britpop mania and spawned legions of imitators. The definitive British rock band of the past 20 years, they scored 23 top-10 singles and eight number-one albums, with an estimated 70 million record sales worldwide.
The Gallagher brothers, songwriter and guitarist Noel and singer Liam, were rock’s most compelling soap opera, fighting, swearing, storming off tours and falling out with each other and every original member of the band. Even as their music became repetitive and their critical reputation declined, Oasis were selling out stadiums till the bitter end, leading tens of thousands in mass singalongs.
They finally split in August 2009, minutes before they were due on stage in Paris, when a seemingly trivial argument resulted in guitars being smashed and Noel departing, claiming: “I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” The tour was cancelled, with their website carrying the simple statement that Oasis “does not exist any more”.
So what to make of Beady Eye, a new band featuring not just Oasis’s frontman but Oasis guitarist Gem Archer, Oasis bassist Andy Bell and Oasis stand-in drummer Chris Sharrock? The band formed within hours of Oasis breaking up.
“We went to the bar,” according to Liam, “had a couple of beers and decided that our musical path doesn’t stop just because Noel Gallagher’s jumped ship. This is what we do.”
And what they do, judging by their forthcoming album, Different Gear, Still Speeding is play loud, lairy, Beatles-inflected rock with bags of sneering, Lennonesque vocal attitude. Remind you of anyone?
Whatever Liam Gallagher claims, it is hard to escape the feeling that Beady Eye are effectively Oasis without their erstwhile leader, main songwriter and, by implication, without the volatile sibling relationship that was their defining characteristic. What they do have, however, is one of the great frontmen in fighting form. On The Beat Goes On, Liam sings, “I’m the last of a dying breed”, and he may be right. Always an outrageously charismatic character with a crackerjack belligerence, Liam could hold the attention of an entire stadium with nothing but a sociopathic stare and a great, big voice, his soulful, resonant tone bringing an edge of emotion to even his brother’s most throwaway lyrics.
Beady Eye’s debut may break no new creative ground and make no discernible contribution to the future of popular music but it has a jeu d’esprit almost entirely absent from Oasis over the past 10 years.
Produced by U2 veteran Steve Lillywhite, there is a spaciousness, depth and variety to the sound that eluded Oasis under the leadership of Noel. There is even, in moments, a Rubber Soul-ish lightness of touch verging on folky tenderness. Where Liam’s singing had become increasingly hoarse and shouty, here he finds the melody again. This was one of the key things Oasis brought to rock music. Hard rock tends to encourage high, raw, one-note roaring that enables the voice to fly above the range of electric guitars. Armed with his brother’s almost Abba-esque pop songs, however, Liam was confident enough to just deliver the notes amid the band’s wall of noise. This is the voice we hear once again at the centre of Beady Eye.
Liam has been ascribing his new-found commitment to a changed dynamic, as the band has shifted from dictatorship to democracy, with all members sharing songwriting credits. “There is no boss,” he claims. “We haven’t got it in us.”
What is immediately striking is how much fun they are having, and how happy Liam seems. The sad thing is that it has taken Noel’s departure for Liam really to come into his own.
The Gallagher brothers are like chalk and cheese, as is often the case with siblings. As the eldest, Noel took the role of leader, and to some extent that meant being the sensible one, but it also meant being an authority figure, controlling and disapproving of his younger brother’s rebelliousness. A smart, thoughtful and generally very considerate man, Noel seemed to have a blind spot when it came to Liam, who (contrary to his image) is capable of being very charming, friendly, generous and creative.
It often struck me that what Liam really wanted was his older brother’s love and approval. When that was not forthcoming, he acted up. You can see the same dynamic in any family. In a sense, he can only be his better self when Noel is not around.
Whether what is good for Liam is good for music is another matter. For all the delights of Beady Eye’s debut, they lack generation-defining, utterly memorable pop songs. There is nothing to even match the immediacy of late Oasis hits such as The Importance of Being Idle or Lyla. Their latest single, The Roller, went into the charts at number 31 – not a position Liam is used to occupying.
Yet he seems undeterred, relishing the idea of having to fight for their right to be heard. He has declared himself delighted to be back in small venues (the tour kicks off at Glasgow’s Barrowland on March 3) and insists they won’t be performing any Oasis songs: “We don’t need to live in the past.”
Noel has kept his thoughts on this venture to himself. Liam, out on the promo trail, has been less circumspect about his brother, peppering his comments with insults (“How many ----- were there in Oasis? Here’s a clue. It was more than zero and less than two”). Yet, many songs on the album read like an open letter to Noel, from the “nothing ever lasts for ever” riposte of Four Letter Word to the you-go-your-way-and-I’ll-go-mine acceptance of gorgeous epic The Morning Son.
When pushed, Liam has been unexpectedly magnanimous. “Listen, me and him will be sweet, man. Our little venture’s come to an end, but I’ll never have a bad word about Oasis, it was ----ing amazing. It’s why I’m adored by millions. But it’s over. And we’re buzzin’. And I hope our kid’s buzzin’. I hope he’s gonna make great records. And he probably will.”
He even appears to welcome the idea that the Gallaghers might be reconciled one day. “I suppose I’ve got to grow up a little bit, and I suppose he has. But not just yet.”
Meanwhile, Liam has gigs to play, records to make and dreams of his own to fulfil. “The bigger you get, the harder it is to move and groove. Now we’re like a little Mini. We can dart about a bit more. Before, we were just a big, fat Bentley – it might feel nice, but it’s ----ing hard to drive.”
Whatever happens, it promises to be an entertaining ride.
'Different Gear, Still Speeding’ (Beady Eye Records) is released next Monday.

Liam Gallagher
By Eugene McCormick.
If you had any worries about Liam Gallagher being able to carry on in the music world without chief songwriter and older brother Noel, your doubts are erased on the first track off Beady Eye's debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding, which will be released stateside on March 1st. The menacing Manc's sneer is strong as ever and his bandmates, who followed him from the rock behemoth Oasis, sound refocused and energized now that they are the ones guiding the man who was named the best frontman in the history of music by Q Magazine two years ago. The opener, Four Letter Word, could be looked at as a jab at their ex-bandmate, but according to reports it was written before the split, but the lyrics "The battles on and the song is the prize" sum up what will be a rivalry like Paul McCartney and John Lennon had 4 decades ago after the Gallagher's heroes The Beatles broke up.
While the first song is up-tempo, most of Beady Eye's debut is mid-tempo radio friendly numbers that borrow heavily from the likes of the The Who, The Kinks, and of course the Fab Four. Lead single The Roller is the most derivative of the bunch, sounding like a hybrid of John Lennon classic Instant Karma coupled with vocals from his final studio album Double Fantasy. In true Gallagher form, the band doesn't hide from the references to their love of mid-60's music going so far as naming one song Beatles & Stones that is basically a rewrite of Pete Townshend's classic My Generation. Throughout the album you'll find catchy guitar work and melodies. Perhaps the most touching song on the collection is the track For Anyone, which is arguably the best song Liam has written to date.
Liam has upped the ante for Noel who has embarked on a solo career and it will be interesting to see what type of reaction the new band gets in terms of sales here in America. Beady Eye has released a solid set of tunes that any Oasis fan will enjoy, and one wonders why they didn't just keep the name of their old band as they would have likely been able to shift more records and sell more concert tickets with the established band name then embarking on a brand new endeavor with mostly the same cast of characters.
Highlights The Roller, For Anyone, Three Ring Circus, The Beat Goes On, The Morning Son.

Beady Eye is the new group from Oasis members Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer and Andy Bell, plus newcomer Chris Sharrock. They’re a blistering mix of classic rock, pop, and glam that proves that while Oasis may be long gone, their spirit certainly endures. The debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding, is chock full of all Oasis’ trademark Britpop attributes: snarky vocals, hooky guitars, and simple but addictive chord progression.
Although fans will have to wait one week to pick up the album, you can listen to an live preview, recorded exclusively for KEXP, right now! KEXP’s own Cheryl Waters had the fortune to talk with Liam Gallagher and Andy Bell about Beady Eye before the session.
You can listen to both the interview and the live performance of 'Three Ring Circus', 'Millionaire', 'The Roller' and 'The Beat Goes On' here.

Liam Gallagher
He warns fans not to expect Oasis songs when they come to live shows.
Beady Eye, Liam Gallagher's new band is set for its debut release on Monday 28 February.
Early reviews of 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' have seen music writers dig out their Oasis comparisons with Q saying it's Liam's best since 'What the Story (Morning Glory)?' while Mojo prefers to invoke 'Definitely Maybe'.
For Liam, however, it's a new start.
Talking to BBC 6 Music's Steve Lamaqc, the frontman says fans shouldn't expect Oasis tracks at their live shows, which start in Glasgow next month.
"And once you do one [Oasis song], you have to do the lot of them", he says.
After the global domination of Oasis, it might feel like going backwards for the star, but in fact, starting out and making new music is the best bit for Liam.
" I think that's the best thing about being in a band, that moment when you are new. Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, now things are expected of them and you fall into that thing...It's great to be able to make music so they're lucky, but there's nothing better than playing small gigs."

After the global domination of Oasis, it might feel like going backwards for the star, but in fact, starting out and making new music is the best bit for Liam.
" I think that's the best thing about being in a band, that moment when you are new. Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, now things are expected of them and you fall into that thing...It's great to be able to make music so they're lucky, but there's nothing better than playing small gigs."

Miles Kane - Inhaler on MUZU.
The Last Shadow Puppets tunesmith turned solo singer Miles Kane has found himself in the middle of the warring Gallagher brothers.
The Scouse lad, who’s taking time out from the band he fronts with Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner, 25, has hooked up with Noel, 43, on his new album.
But he is also gearing up to go on tour with 38-year-old Liam’s new band Beady Eye next month.
Last week Liam announced there would never be an Oasis reunion and called his older brother “a little bitch”.
Could be tricky but Miles, 24, has vowed not to take sides. He said: “Noel is a lovely fella. He sings backing vocals on a track called My Fantasy on my album.
“He came down to see me when I was recording one afternoon and I was doing backing vocals so he said he’d sing as well.
“It sounds cool and his voice sounds great. We get on well.”
Miles, whose new tune Come Closer is out this week, added: “I don’t really know Liam yet but I’m really looking forward to hanging out with him. I was honoured he asked me to support Beady Eye on tour.
“It comes off the back of my own tour, so I’ll have to have plenty of vitamins to see me through.
“I admire Liam’s style and I think it’s important to look sharp. Clothes are important to me. Some people may not agree with that but I believe it’s important.”
The singer will get the chance to get to know Liam better at tomorrow’s NME Awards, where Beady Eye are up for Best New Band.
He has just put the finishing touches to debut solo album Colour Of The Trap, out in May.
He said: “It has a classic rock ’n’ roll sound.
“I know a lot of acts say that but I’ve got the songs to back it up.”

Liam Gallagher
Liam Gallagher says he won't talk about the end of Oasis, or his fractured relationship with brother Noel Gallagher, on his new band's album.
Beady Eye - essentially Oasis minus Noel - release their debut Different Gear, Still Speeding next Monday (28 Feb), and Liam's been talking to Steve Lamacq about it it.
"We're all in good moods," he said.
"We had a great time in Oasis, there's no time to be going around moping about it with your head between your legs.
"It was great, and we're proud of it, but now that's over and there's no need to write a morbid album."
The band kick off their first tour in Glasgow on 3 March at Barrowlands.
" I think that's the best thing about being in a band, that moment when you are new," Gallagher said.
"Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian, now things are expected of them and you fall into that thing...It's great to be able to make music so they're lucky, but there's nothing better than playing small gigs.
" Before you know it you are massive and the fun goes out of it."
Liam added that fans shouldn't expect to hear Oasis songs if they came to a Beady Eye show.
"We have got to get this into people's heads. It would be schizophrenic going from one to the other. And once you do one [Oasis song], you have to do the lot of them.
He's not worried about heckling, either: "Let them shout," he bristled.
"I've got a microphone. I'll be louder. I'll just go 'No!' really loud. 'Not happening, get over it!'"
Asked about criticism of the band name, Liam - who previously boasted that people would be calling their children 'Beady Eye' by Christmas - said he wasn't too bothered:
"The name's a funny one. A lot of people don't like it, which is fine by me. There's a lot of things I don't like - but people will get into it. We like it. It looks good on paper."
And the singer said Beady Eye was more democratic than Oasis, with each of the four band members bringing their own songs to the table:
"We're all into the same kind of things, pretty much. and if a certain song needs to be brought into the ring a bit more, then we do it. "If there are some things that need to be changed to suit the singing, then we do it," he added.
