Liam Gallagher Still Looking Back In Anger At Oasis Years

The charismatic frontman has lost none of his fire -- especially when it comes to his brother and thirsty hacks, writes Barry Egan

Liam Gallagher has never been one lacking in self-confidence. He set his stall out early with Beady Eye.

He told New Musical Express before Christmas that he thinks his new band's debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding contains songs "as good if not better as Definitely Maybe", in reference to Oasis's seminal debut album from 1994. So, how does Different Gear, Still Speeding compare? On some songs (The Morning Son, The Beat Goes On, Bring the Light, Kill For A Dream, Millionaire) it compares favourably; on others (Standing on the Edge of the Noise, Wigwam, Beatles And Stones) not so. Either way the Beatlesy spirit of Oasis lives on in Beady Eye.

Oasis broke up on August 28, 2009, after a ferocious row between Liam and his older brother Noel in Paris. Soon after, Noel posted a statement on the band's website claiming "verbal and violent intimidation" and "the lack of support and understanding" from his bandmates.

"Absolute f**king bollocks," Liam told the Guardian last month. "That's the thing that makes me want to throw up. I just look at him now and think, 'You're a f**king fake'. It's like, if you want to f**king leave the band, leave the band. If you want to stay at home with your kids, stay at home with your kids. If you wanna have five years off, have five years off. We'll sit down as a band and talk about it. But don't start going, 'I was bullied out of the band.' F**king shite."

"I think he wrote it on the spur of the moment," added former Oasis and now Beady Eye member Andy Bell. "He's probably mortified now." "Not that mortified," replied Liam, "because he's still got it up on the f**king website, which I've tried to take down. It's been two f**king years. Take the f**king statement down. It's over. We're all grown up. We've all moved on."

Beady Eye were formed by the former members of Oasis --Liam, Gem Archer, Andy Bell --when Noel walked out. Andy Bell explained recently: "We went back to the hotel [after Noel walked out] and sat around drinking beer and we were there! The members of Beady Eye were there so it didn't take much of a leap to go, 'Let's do something'."

That something -- Different Gear, Still Speeding -- is worth checking out. You still get everything you got with Oasis (Liam's Johnny Rotten-sneer mixed with John Lennon nasal histrionics, the great riffs that owe as much to the Kinks, the Stones and the Who as to the Beatles, the attitude) but you get something extra too.

You get the sense that Liam has been liberated from Oasis. He told The Quietus website last month that he felt relieved when Oasis ended and a new chapter in his musical life started with Beady Eye. "But that's life and I could kind of see it coming. It had been brewing and Noel was acting like a f**king woman, like a bitch and I was acting like a dickhead," he said.

"But I like to think that there's a reason behind my f**king actions because I like to keep it clean. There was a lot of shit going down and a lot of shit being written about my band and Noel being so f**king close to the press."

"But you know," Liam continued, "his mates are more important than his brother or his f**king band, so f**k him. I'm not having it. You know, people who slate me in the press and coming back to my dressing room and drinking my f**king beer? F**k that; it doesn't work like that round my way, mate. You slag me off you don't come to my f**king dressing room and drink my beer. It's not all about me drinking; it takes two to tango, you know what I mean?"

Oh, I do, Liam, I do.

Beady Eye will play the Olympia Theatre, Dublin, on April 14 & 15; and Ulster Hall, Belfast on April 17

On This Day In Oasis History...

On March 5th 2000 Oasis played the Yokohama Arena in Japan, the band kicked off their 2000 World Tour at the same venue a few days before.

Above is some footage from the gig, and a interview with Noel from the 15th of March 2000 for News 23.

Liam Gallagher: 'Noel And I Were D**ks'

Liam Gallagher has claimed that the Oasis split was caused by both he and his brother Noel behaving like "d**ks".

The 38-year-old described the demise of the Britpop group as disappointing but inevitable and shared his hope that new band Beady Eye would be just as successful in time.

"It was about me being a d**k and him being a d**k, so yeah I was disappointed, but you have to move on," he told The News Of The World's new Jam Magazine. "I wanna be the biggest band in the world again."

Gallagher previously claimed to be sickened by the idea of reforming Oasis, although he has refused to rule out a reunion in the future.

Noel Gallagher Told By Brother Liam That Oasis Is Over For Good

Liam Gallagher has a Beady Eye on the future... and revealed there is no way back for Oasis.

The singer said his new band are so fired up that they are stockpiling songs for a new album just days after the release of debut Different Gear, Still Speeding.

He even boasts there has never been a single moment when he wished Oasis had not split in Paris in 2009.

A defiant Liam told me: "I'm megaexcited about this new record. It's out. I like it. People are liking it. I can't think as far back as the release of Definitely Maybe in 1994 but I don't think I could buzz any more.

"I don't live to regret anything. I'm in the best band since Oasis so how can I regret it?

"I'd regret it if I was in some s*** band but we're the b******s. We're No.1 in Japan, by the way."

Beady Eye played their triumphant first gigs at Barrowland in Glasgow last week.

Liam, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock will now also headline Edinburgh Corn Exchange on April 18 and can't wait to play T In The Park.

Liam told me how he realised his musical future lay elsewhere as he clashed backstage with brother Noel in Paris.

He said: "When I told our kid to go and stand behind his big security guard - and he's smashed my gear up and I've smashed his gear up - that's when I thought, 'It's over'.

"We've had fights in the past. I was sick arguing and not being listened to. We were both sick of each other. There's more to life than me, him and Oasis.

"We obviously don't get on so we decided to go our separate ways and here we are."

Gem and Andy say they were powerless to step in between the warring brothers.

"They were very private at ripping each other's throats out," Gem said.

"It always gets blown out of proportion. The good times outweighed the bad times. They were mega."

Andy added: "I felt that as both of their mates, it was between the two of them. It wasn't my place to do that. It was between the brothers."

Liam pitched in: "He'd have got told to f*** off anyway. It's a personal thing, man. It wasn't about the band, it was about me and him.

"I'd have done exactly the same if Andy had been in a band with his brother. It's none of my business."

Different Gear, Still Speeding features first singles Bring The Light and The Roller plus standout tracks Four Letter Word, Millionaire and Kill For A Dream. The band defended their refusal to play any Oasis hits in their live set.

Andy told me: "We've known all along this album is going to be the basis of our live set.

"It's been like that from day one. It just doesn't seem right to play those songs without Noel there.

"He wrote most of those classic tunes. That's what Oasis was."

Gem agreed, saying: "We're only playing Beady Eye music. We love the record. Everything is brand new.

"It's a damn fine band. It's not like we're just topping up a set we've been playing for 10 years. We're playing everything we've got more or less.

"It's not like we're on the run from the past but it's a time to say, 'Look, this is where we are. It's a great place to be'.

"There's always songs in our head.

We're working on new music with ideas and titles buzzing around.

"We're dripping in it at the moment. The more we do, the more we want to do." Liam loves his new musical direction. He said: "We wanted to see if there was any magic there.

"We went into a studio and wrote a couple of tunes and thought: 'That sounds amazing'. So we wrote more and soon had six great songs.

"If the spirit had not been there, who knows what we'd be doing.

"I'd have been honest enough to walk away, without a doubt.

"You can't invent the magic ... it's either there or it isn't."

Liam Gallagher Shuns Glasgow Bars For Spa

He's one of the most famous hellraisers in pop ... but Liam Gallagher went to a spa rather than a bar before playing Glasgow.

He relaxed in the steam room at his luxury hotel on the banks of the Clyde before the second gig of his tour at Barrowland with new band Beady Eye.

As Liam was being pampered, his gorgeous wife, former All Saint Nicole Appleton, enjoyed an afternoon tea of delicate sandwiches and cream cakes with friends.

It's all a far cry from the Cigarettes And Alcohol we have come to expect from the former Oasis frontman.

Liam is clearly taking his new project seriously, spending the afternoon rehearsing for the second of two Barras concerts.

The first went down a storm with the crowd but Liam promised there was more to come. Climbing into a chauffeur-driven 4x4 outside the swish Mar Hall hotel in Renfrewshire, he told the Razz: "We had a great first night but now things are going to get even better.

"We're not out to play today. It's back to work for me now."

Liam spent two hours at the Barras in rehearsals before returning to relax in the steam room.

He had been staying at the hotel near Bishopton since Wednesday night and returned there with wife Nicole after Wednesday night's gig.

Highlights of the 14 songs included opener Four Letter Word and Three Ring Circus.

The tour moves on to home territory for Liam on Sunday with two nights in Manchester before playing across the UK.

Beady Eye - formed after Liam's brother Noel stormed out of Oasis - will play T in the Park in July.

Liam Gallagher Reveals All On Life As A Family Man

Liam Gallagher talks exclusively about his brand new band Beady Eye and life as a family man this Sunday (March 6) in an interview with the News of the World’s new men’s magazine ‘Jam’.

Gallagher appears on the cover of the brand new title in a stunning shoot by legendary rock ‘n’ roll photographer David Bailey.

But the man, once voted ‘The Greatest Frontman Of All Time’ by music bible Q Magazine, reveals that behind the rock-and-roll façade he lives a pretty normal lifestyle: “I love going to school with the kids, picking them up, that’s what I’m happy with” he told Jam.

“I know what’s real and what’s not. It’s good to keep my feet on the ground, or I’d freak out.”

It’s not school runs for the 38-year-old rockster though - he’s got a new band called Beady Eye, formed after the split of Oasis, and by all accounts is loving every moment:

“I love singing and being in a band. It starts with your haircut, the way you dress. It’s not just about the music. And as soon as the mic is in front of me then that’s it, it’s like a big cream cake to me.”

In the interview Liam also reveals the influences behind Beady Eye – telling Jam Magazine: “People go on about us sounding like The Beatles. I think we sound like a British rock ‘n‘ roll band. If that sounds like the Beatles, then so be it. I don’t wake up in the morning trying to sound like John Lennon or whatever.”

An exclusive free CD by Liam’s new band Beady Eye will be given away with Jam magazine this Sunday March 6, only with the News of the World. It will feature five tracks including three from the debut album ‘Different Gear, Still Speeding’, and a 17 minute interview with the band.

Jam promises readers a star-studded list of guest writers including Professor Brian Cox on science, Sex Pistols front man John Lydon on the Royal Wedding, Johnny Vaughan on gadgets and Marco Pierre White on food.

Caught Live Beady Eye

They played every track from debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding bar one, the six-minute Wigwam.

The album - set for a top three spot in Sunday's chart - works far better live, sounding less polished and with much more bite.

The insane crowd reaction seemed to shock the band but they took it all in.

And the intimate setting didn't always go down well with Liam as fans kept soaking his leather jacket with pints of lager, forcing him to ask for a towel from roadies.

The band are back at the venue tonight before hitting Manchester and London, then setting off on a European tour.

Not a bad start at all.

First Night: Beady Eye, Barrowlands, Glasgow

Life after Oasis– and Liam's still a rock'n'roll star

Reviewed by David Pollock

It was surely no coincidence that Liam Gallagher chose Glasgow's most fiery venue for this debut live appearance by his post-Oasis project. His old band had its ups and downs – internally and in terms of critical reception over their lifespan – but this city remained vocal in its appreciation of their supremely confident self-possession.

Really, all he had to do was turn up and be himself, and the wildest of receptions was assured.

With the Stone Roses' "I Am the Resurrection" heralding Beady Eye's arrival (appropriate, given Gallagher's unspoken need to position himself as the sole star of what was once a two-Gallagher show), the already onside crowd greeted the singer with a chant of his own name. In return, he granted them one of the great understated entrances – a slow slouch to the mic and then an accusing "try fuckin' harder". Everyone duly obliged. The king is surely back, as far as his people are concerned.

Backed by a five-piece live band that included all three of Oasis's members at their dissolution, bar the only one who quit, Liam's brother Noel, Gallager kicked off with "Four Letter Word". It was a typically brash and confident opener from the Barbour-jacket wearing singer. "Nothing ever lasts forever," the lyrics declare in loaded fashion. "A four-letter word really gets my meaning." As ever, and despite the clothing label and the millions in the bank, Liam Gallagher on the live stage still resembles a curse word made primal flesh.

Those old reference points stand unchanged, as was in evidence by the second track, a beat group shuffle speeded up to manic pace named "Beatles & Stones". It was, perversely, one of the highlights of the set, an homage to the relatively narrow range of influences Gallagher enjoys, but still a world away from the string-laden "Hey Jude" and Imagine-isms which Oasis flogged long past death.

Credit is due here, because this band sound encouragingly refreshed, an assertion that could very rarely be levelled at Oasis in their later years. Of course there was nothing here to alienate the longtime, Knebworth-attending devotee, but you realise watching them that Beady Eye are in the very unique position of possessing iconic impetus while being newly unchained from the weight if their past.

The set veered from expansive Floydian psychedelia to the pleasing La's jangle of "For Anyone". These and "The Roller", a comeback song which dared to stroll at its own pace, all came early in the set and were greeted with that most Glaswegian of appreciation gestures, the thrown (plastic) pint glass.

A decision had clearly been taken to play no Oasis songs. It was a brave and creditable choice, although this meant the set stretched to only an hour and suffered a fallow period in the middle. Yet Gallagher noted this with a pithy "right, this is another new song" before the All the Young Dudes-like epic "The Beat Goes On", declaring "stick with us, we'll have more by next year." This is a band to stick with through enjoyment more than force of habit.

Beady Eye Play Debut Gig In Glasgow

Liam Gallagher tells fans to 'get off the fence' during the show

Beady Eye made their live debut in Glasgow tonight (March 3), playing for just over an hour to a packed crowd at the city's Barrowlands venue.

Stage-banter was kept to a minimum by Liam Gallagher's new band throughout the 14-song show, and the singer made no reference to his estranged brother Noel or his old band Oasis.

Beady Eye's first song was 'Four Letter Word', played shortly after 9pm (GMT). They followed it with a set made up largely of tracks from their new album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding'. Before playing 'Bring The Light', Gallagher did address the crowd, saying: "Right, I reckon it's time to get off the fence, yeah? Because I've seen a few of you sitting on it."

The Scottish audience reacted positively to the band throughout, chanting Gallagher's name in between each song. Although most of the tracks the band played were faithful in sound to their recorded counterparts, the Andy Bell-penned 'Millionaire' was given a distinctly more electric-feel than on the album.

The band ended their set with their cover of World Of Twist's 'Sons Of The Stage'. Gallagher thanked the crowd for "coming along and checking it out" before leaving the stage.

Beady Eye played:

'Four Letter Word'
'Beatles And Stones'
'Millionaire'
'For Anyone'
'The Roller'
'Wind Up Dream'
'Bring The Light'
'Standing On The Edge Of The Noise'
'Kill For A Dream'
'Three Ring Circus'
'Man Of Misery'
'The Beat Goes On'
'The Morning Sun'
'Sons Of The Stage'

Beady Eye play their next gig, also at the Barrowlands venue, tomorrow evening (March 4), after which they head to Manchester and London for more shows.
