Liam Gallagher Splashes The Cash

Liam Gallagher’s been splashing the cash out on tour with his new band Beady Eye.

While in his hometown Manchester for gigs Liam Gallagher booked a fleet of blacked-out limos to ferry his team around.

He hired an entire floor at the chic Lowry Hotel and racked up a £2,000 bar bill, as well as taking wife Nicole Appleton, 36, on a shopping spree.

A source said: “She came back to the hotel with bags and bags of designer stuff.”

Liam Gallagher And Gem Archer Talk Beady Eye, Oasis And More

One of the most tumultuous bands in rock history came to inauspicious end (for now, anyway) in 2009 when Noel Gallagher suddenly announced he was leaving Oasis after one last blow-out with his brother Liam the night before a Parisian show. A defining band of ’90s Britpop, Oasis was characterized by Noel’s outsized anthems and Liam’s insolent sneer—as well as the seemingly never-ending well of bad blood between the brothers—on classic albums like 1994’s Definitely Maybe and 1995’s (What’s The Story) Morning Glory. Considering the apparent lack of camaraderie in the Gallagher brothers’ relationship, perhaps it shouldn’t have come as a surprise when Liam Gallagher quickly marshaled Oasis members Gem Archer and Andy Bell for a new band, Beady Eye, almost immediately after Noel announced his departure.

As Noel Gallagher continues woodshedding for his solo debut, Beady Eye released its first record, Different Gear, Still Speeding on February 28. While Noel was regarded as the creative brains behind Oasis, Different Gear suggests that Liam and his bandmates are more than capable of kicking up similarly feisty, classicist arena-rock songs without him. The A.V. Club recently spoke with Gallagher and Archer about why Beady Eye absolutely does not sound like Oasis, and whether Liam regrets drinking so much in the ’90s. (Spoiler alert: He doesn’t.)

The A.V. Club: What’s it like having to prove yourselves again with a new band?

Liam Gallagher: We don’t have to prove anything, mate. All we’ve got to do is make great music and play to our best ability, which is amazing.

AVC: But is it exciting to start something new?

LG: But of course, man. That’s what we gotta do, you know what I mean? It was forced upon us. You don’t just stop making music because Noel Gallagher leaves the band, you know what I mean? If people think it was all about Noel, they’re very wrong. We’re all music lovers, we’re all into it. Maybe it’s good that people have low expectations of us.

AVC: It’s inevitable that people are going to compare Beady Eye to Oasis. How comfortable are you with that?

Gem Archer: People obviously will compare. I suppose to the innocent bystander, we look like Oasis and we probably smell like Oasis, but it ain’t Oasis, you know? This is a time in our life when we’ve been given a whole new set of tailors, man.

AVC: Different Gear, Still Speeding sounds very much like a continuation of Oasis. Do you feel like Beady Eye is picking up where that band left off?

GA: Not at all. I don’t see it as a continuation at all, really. That band is over. Noel with Liam was Oasis, and that’s obviously not there anymore. You’ve got a whole load of different angles to look at it.

AVC: How is Beady Eye different?

LG: I think it sounds a lot fresher, a lot grander. The playing, the singing, it’s got a real zest to it. So a continuation? No. This couldn’t be an Oasis album. It’s got a brand new feeling about it.

AVC: Once Oasis folded, how long did it take for you guys to decide to carry on as a new band?

LG: About four beers.

AVC: Is there more to that story?

LG: We went back after the gig where it happened and sat around and had a couple of beers. There was no crying or weeping or anything. We all wanted to carry on, and stay on our musical journey, you know what I mean? We decided to meet up in November, and have a crack at making some demos or whatever. We couldn’t wait that long, so we met up the following week and got cracking. And it’s been nonstop ever since.

AVC: You said earlier that you didn’t have any choice but to start Beady Eye once Noel left Oasis. But did you have any sense before then that Oasis had run its course, and that you wanted to try something else?

LG: Nope. It never crossed our mind. We thought we’d have some time off and then do another record. But I think Noel really wanted out, to be quite honest. He wanted a long time-out. But we’re not getting any younger, and me for one doesn’t want to be sitting at home for five years twiddling me thumbs. I need to be making songs and making music.

AVC: It seems like there was always so much drama and tension in Oasis. Is it more relaxed in Beady Eye?

LG: Yeah, I think so. We’re jumping in and we’re doing our thing and we all have a lot of respect for each other, you know what I mean?
GA: The tension and all that in Oasis, sometimes, if you weren’t in the know, you wouldn’t know what the fuck was going on, man. Because it would all be unsaid, with a tip of the hat and nod and a wink and all that. It wasn’t like they were coming in and knocking each other out every day, you know what I mean?
LG: Yeah, it wasn’t WWF wrestling or anything.

AVC: It seems like Beady Eye is more of a democracy, where Oasis was a dictatorship ruled by Noel. Is that an accurate perception?

LG: Yeah. Oasis is probably more of Noel’s thing. He had the vision of it and all that. But this is four guys that are on the same page, doing the same thing. There are obviously different roles, people better equipped to do different things. No point in us all doing everything.

AVC: How motivated were you during the making of Different Gear, Still Speeding to make a record that would top whatever Noel ends up doing?

LG: Not in our mind. We don’t care what anyone else does. We just do what we do, man. We give it our all, our best shot, you know what I mean? Then we’ll be happy. We’re not in competition at all.

AVC: When was the last time you talked to Noel?

LG: Not since that last time we mashed out a few things at each other at that festival, that was it.

AVC: Noel has given numerous interviews over the years where he’s talked about how hard you are to work with, Liam. Did that ever bother you or hurt your feelings?

LG: Well, it hurt my feelings, but I’m a big boy. But I’m not hard to work with. I’m pretty easy to work with. I think you’ll find that he was probably talking about himself.

AVC: Gem, is it easier for you to be in Beady Eye than it was being in Oasis?

GA: Oh man, it’s not my job to compare. It all seems so long ago now. But working with Liam is honestly incredible, man. In Oasis, I’d be working on Liam’s demos, and the next week I’d be working on Noel’s demos. To me, that was the dynamic of that band, and that’s how it was established when I came into it. The dynamic of this band is still unfolding.

LG: You’ll never hear me having to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to the microphone. I’m the first one that wants to get in there and make records. It’s not a chore for me.

GA: With Andy, too, I’m the one going, “Whoa whoa whoa, hold on a second, lads.” Because they’re there, white-hot, ready to go, and I’m like, “Fucking hell, man, hold on a second here.” You’ve got an idea, and you’re setting up the mics, and Andy’s already on the fucking drum kit, ready with a drum part. It’s like, “Chill out, man.” I’m the guy who’s trying to keep people level-headed, sometimes.

AVC: It sounds like Beady Eye might have enough material to do what Oasis did early on with its singles, where you had two or three B-sides for each release.

LG: Yeah, we’d like to do a lot more. But I think them days are gone of releasing like, three B-sides on every track. But we’ll have new B-sides on every track, no doubt.

GA: We had to put our foot down, keeping the album at 13 songs, because some people wanted it to be 10. We were just like, these 13 have got to be together.

AVC: Did you have a lot of songs left over from the Oasis years that you were able to use for Beady Eye?

LG: None of these songs are rejects, you know what I mean?

GA: I genuinely felt encouraged by it, because when me and Andy both joined up, Liam and Noel were goin’, “Do you got any tunes? Do you got any tunes?” It was all about passing the guitar around. It was a pretty fucking established, mega band you’re joinin’ with a fucking ridiculous set list, and your tunes are going to go somewhere amongst that. You’ve got to stand up and be counted as a songwriter. It was always great, it just so happens this is an absolute blank page for all of us.

AVC: Will you be playing any Oasis songs live?

LG: Beady Eye music, mate.

AVC: What’s touring like for you these days? Is it less crazy than it used to be?

LG: We’d like to think it won’t be as mad, and doing massive, massive tours. We just booked the year ahead and it’s shaping up pretty well. But we don’t want to run it into the ground. We want to keep it special, you know what I mean?

AVC: Liam, you had a reputation for living the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle in Oasis. Has that leveled off as you’ve gotten older?

LG: We can go when we go. But we’re old and have kids. You don’t want to be up until 4 and then it’s 8 o’clock and your kids are going to school. But if anyone wants to fucking challenge me to drinking, we can go.

GA: We can go for days, but it’s not the point anymore.

AVC: Do you ever look back on the ’90s and wish you hadn’t drank so much?

LG: I look back and wish I drank more.

AVC: What about at the massive Knebworth shows in ’96, when Oasis played for 250,000 people over two days? You’ve said you don’t remember those gigs.

LG: No, I don’t. But I was obviously there.

AVC: Liam, you’re now an elder statesman of British rock. How do you feel about your legacy?

LG: I’m very comfortable with it, man. There’s a lot more to come. You haven’t seen fuck-all.

AVC: Let’s say Noel Gallagher rang up tomorrow and said he wanted to get Oasis back together. What would you say?

LG: I’d say, “Behave.”

Another Review Of Beady Eye In Manchester

Everyone you speak to in here tonight is referencing the past to survive the future.

Is Liam Gallagher the last of the great old school rock stars? Where did all the great music go? Will this be any good?

Oasis soundtracked a big chunk of a generation, Generation Y, generation why not? People who needed some magic in the broken end of Britain, who needed some belief and needed people like them who made it happen despite everything and the Gallaghers did that. And then some.

Crawling out of the wreckage of Oasis Liam brought the rest of the gang with him minus his kid brother and has created Beady Eye and built a shrine to the sixties. A time when things were simpler and people believed in the redemptive power of music, when dressing up and having a sharp haircut could change the world.

A lot of things get said about Beady Eye and all of them contradictory. Liam Gallagher divides opinion but not in the Apollo where the white heat of adoration is cranked up another couple of notches for the prodigal son returning to his home city.

This is a very northern affair from the clobber to the rock n roll to the punters I bump into tonight like Kev from Leigh who needs this to be great to Joe from Rochdale who loves the album and whose girlfriend knows this will be good to a bunch of scousers with Oasis tattoos. The packed hall is wall to wall comb down hair, modesque clothes mixed with baggy and everyone doing the pimp roll walk. These are people who still believe in the power of rock n roll and are ready for something.

When the band walk on the stage you can feel the heat. Liam Gallagher has got the star thing nailed and radiates the swaggering cool that covers the jangling nerves. He’s going to need it because, oddly, Beady Eye are still a new band. The album has been out five days and even if there’s a bunch of stuff leaked on the internet but people are just getting to grips with the lyrics, ‘don’t worry if you don’t know the words, I don’t either’ jokes Liam as the crowd sing along anyway.

The set is short and sweet- it’s the whole album plus their cover of the genius World Of Twist’s Sons Of The Stage minus their own Wigwam which is one of the album high spots- I guess with its multilayers of sound are tough to play.

The album’s mixture of rockers and anthemic, mobiles in the air songs work perfectly. It’s quickly obvious that this a new Liam, he displays the touch of that vulnerability that has made the Beady album so special. He seems more open now and less guarded in the way he sings and even in the way he moves around on the stage- that’s not say he’s lost his edge, he still does that cool, dead eye, impassive stare into the audience thing and still has his hands behind his back- give it everything- hunched mic assault.

The rest of Beady Eye are the other trump card, consummate musicians and now with Andy Bell back on guitar instead of bass, they sound tight as fuck with a rhythmic looseness provided by Chris Sharrrock that gives the band their edge.
The rockers like Standing On The Edge Of The Noise do their stomping Slade meets White Album Beatles thing perfectly. Set opener Four Letter Word is almost Pistolian in its churning swagger whilst Beatles And Stones ambitiously sets the band’s stall- declaring their legendary status in a show of northern bravado that harks back to the Stone Roses- another band who believed.

The Roller may cop Lennon’s favourite descending riff that he used for All You Need Is Love and Instant Karma but then he copped it from Three Blind Mice- Beady Eye know it’s what you do with the riff that counts. You don’t buy into this for originality- you buy into this for feel, for warmth, a little bit of humanity in the hard sell of modern culture and Beady Eye wear their humanity on their sleeve, their touching love of the classics and the belief that high tide British rock n roll can solve everything is quite touching.

If anything is lost its on the more whimsical numbers like my personal album favourite, The Beat Goes On, which is sung with a childlike innocence and touching belief by Liam, but loses the meletron which is key to the song’s sound.

The new Liam is fascinating- you can see him emerging a more rounded, more real version of himself. The guard dropped this Liam allows his childlike wonder at the world and innocence to emerge in his voice.

Set ender The Morning Son- the song that could be about his fractured relationship with Noel works perfectly building and building to a climactic Chris Sharrock driven exit. It’s wonder at the world feel really harks back to George Harrison’s fantastic All Things Must Pass. It’s all quite stunning. It’s also the only vague reference to our kid- there are thankfully no sneering remarks, no put downs. The audience still respect Noel and are asking constantly about his album. The split is perhaps the best creative thing that could have happened to the band.

The critics moan about the band’s lack of originality but, Beady Eye- like Oasis, have managed to twist their influences into their own trip and their love of the classics makes sense in rip off Britain where you can’t trust anyone from the government to the banks- maybe having something this rock solid makes sense. For one hour the people got what the people wanted for once and Beady Eye delivered.

Beady Eye In Manchester Review

Looking around the Apollo ten minutes before Beady Eye’s first ever Manchester gig, it’s as if nothing has changed. The Stone Roses blares from the speakers, lager flies everywhere, and Liam Gallagher’s name is chanted, football terrace style, by the inebriated disciples who have already decided where their loyalties lie.

Even by the time Liam strides on to deafening noise in that Mancunian swagger he seemingly invented, squint and this could be Oasis.

Of course, having fallen out spectacularly with brother Noel, Beady Eye are Oasis without the man who wrote the songs that made them Britain’s biggest band.

But if Liam has any cause for regret, he doesn’t display it during a raucous hour-long set that seems determined to banish the memory of Oasis’ long, painful descent into dreary irrelevance.

Four Letter Word, introduced by Liam with several of them, kicks things off with an abrasiveness that barely ceases, the band creating a noise that has more in common with Oasis’ early, us-versus-the-world tenacity than their latter day bloated weariness.

The crowd feed off this, and it is also evident that Liam is revitalised by this reconnection. If you ignore that he appears to have picked up a strange habit of constantly grabbing at his crotch, his status as one of rock’s great frontmen is utterly justifiable, even if the concept of how a man can stand motionless, hands in pockets and remain intensely magnetic is difficult to comprehend.

His voice, too, is fantastic. Having sounded shot to bits in recent years, here his rasping John Lennon-meets-John Lydon snarl is incendiary.

But what about the songs? Debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding sounds exactly as you’d imagine (you didn’t expect them to do a Radiohead, did you?) but being eternally indebted to the obvious rock greats makes for a decidedly mixed bag of tunes.

There are times when you left despairing. Three Ring Circus is the work of a pub band with delusions of grandeur, and the less said about The Roller the better; you may be able to pardon that it steals so flagrantly from Lennon’s Instant Karma, but its pedestrian nature is unforgivable.

Undeniably, though, there are thrilling moments. Bring the Light, the precise point where Lennon meets T-Rex, is driven by a 1950’s rock’n’roll piano to a pulsating climax, but the more esoteric songs are just as promising.

The La’s jangle of For Anyone is surprisingly affecting, but best of all is set-closer The Morning Son, a trippy, semi-psychedelic epic that hints at what could become of Beady Eye if their horizons were to broaden further. For the time being, unruly rock’n’roll concerts will suffice. Over to you, Noel

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.

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."
