Liam Gallagher In Brother Bother

Liam Gallagher threw a brat-like strop when he realised he might have to stay in the same hotel as brother Noel.

The feuding rocker was in Liverpool for a gig with his new band Beady Eye while Noel was watching Manchester City take on Liverpool.

The brothers were both booked into the swanky Hope Street Hotel.

However, proving their feud is still raging, Liam, 38, found out he was due to sleep under the same roof as Noel, 43, and lost it.

Our source said: “Liam wasn’t having any of it, he refused to check in and demanded to be moved to another hotel.”

Luckily for Liam, he managed to find a room across the city at the Beatles-themed Hard Days Night Hotel.

A hotel worker there told us: “We had to quickly get the penthouse suite ready for Liam. We didn’t know he was staying at the hotel until the last minute.

“He was nothing like what we expected, he was really polite.

“He just sat drinking herbal tea and eating biscuits, which wasn’t very rock star-like.”

After Liam and his bandmates played a storming set at the O2 Liverpool Academy, they headed off to an after-party at nightclub Heebie Jeebies.

A source there told us: “Liam stayed for an hour to lend support to his brother Paul who was DJing at the party.

“There were no wild antics in sight.

“He was just drinking orange juice most of the night before heading back to the hotel at around 1am.”

Boring.

Beady Eye In Dublin Videos And Review

Beady Eye performed the first night of their Irish Tour on Thursday April 14th 2011 live at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, and believe us when we say that it was a top notch gig! Dublin indie rockers Cheap Freaks got the crowd warmed up and they really know how to put on a show. Caught up in their own little bubble, they played their socks off while proving that they are a band worth keeping an eye on in 2011.

Liam Gallagher & Co. took to the stage at exactly 21:15 after the house music faded out – which consisted of The Jam, Sex Pistols and Stone Roses, to help arouse fans and set the atmosphere. The set opened up with Four Letter Word and Liams swagger towards the mic set the place alight with the lyrics “Sleepwalk away your life if that turns you on”. From that moment, there was no going back. Liam kept things cool with various poses and hands in pockets stating “This is the best venue I’ve ever played in anyway, and I’m not just saying that because I’m here.” The atmosphere was electric. Flowing through the album tracks such as Millionaire, The Roller, For Anyone and Bring The Light, Oasis was not even a thought on anyone’s mind – this is Beady Eye.

Liam’s confidence seeped through the crowd with Gem Archer and Andy Bell on either side, soaking up the rapturous applause. Music Scene was there with the likes of Michael O’Leary (Ryanair CEO) and Nicole Appleton (Liam’s Wife) in the box seats, and even these celebrities could not control themselves. As the gig came to a close with songs such as The Beat Goes On, Wigwam and the World Of Twist cover version, Sons Of The Stage, all attendees had officially been converted from Oasis fans to fully fledged Beady Eye fans. This is the start of something special and the ex Oasis members surely do have something to be proud of.

On This Day In Oasis History...

"The Hindu Times" is a song by English rock group Oasis, and was the first single to be released from their fifth album Heathen Chemistry on 15 April 2002. It was written by Noel Gallagher. Noel got the name "The Hindu Times" from a t-shirt he saw in a charity shop. The song was the band's sixth UK #1 single, staying on top for one week before being dislodged by the Sugababes' "Freak Like Me".

The title has little to do with the lyrics of the song, which are more in the vein of Definitely Maybe's "Rock 'n' Roll Star". It has been speculated that the title refers to the main riffs' similarity to Indian music in sound, sounding as if they were played on a sitar. Gallagher himself says that it is because he had already named the song before any lyrics were written for it.

The song, which combines the powerful fast rock of their earlier work with the psychedelic feel of their later work, was one of the first Oasis singles since (What's the Story) Morning Glory to receive almost unanimously positive reviews from the critics. However, some fans have criticised the song, stating that the main guitar riff was lifted from the Stereophonics song, "Same Size Feet", which was released in 1997 on their Word Gets Around album and uses the exact same, or at least very similar, guitar riff.

The song was unveiled during Oasis' Autumn 2001 Noise and Confusion Tour. The song was due to be released commercially at the same time but Noel decided the track needed more work done on it to be suitable for release.

The B-side, "Just Getting Older", was written at the time of the release of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

The demo version of The Hindu Times is radically different from the finished album version. Most of the lyrics (sung by Noel) are different, and the slower sound of the song is much more "grungy", with a heavy drum loop running throughout the song. It is also a semitone higher in the demo.

The "10 Minutes..." documentary is the first part of a unique feature covering 48 hours on the road with Oasis during the Tour of Brotherly Love which took place in the USA with the Black Crowes during May and June 2001.

Review: Beady Eye In Liverpool

When Noel Gallagher left Oasis, fans eagerly waited to see what would appear from the void left by the break-up.

What emerged was simply Oasis minus Noel. Guitarist Gem Archer, bassist Andy Bell, drummer Chris Sharrock and frontman Liam Gallagher became Beady Eye.

Their album Different Gear, Still Speeding charted at number three and they made their live debut in Glasgow in March.

Last night's gig at Liverpool Uni Guild of Students may have been a sell-out, but was a far cry from the boys' arena appeal as Oasis.

Dressed in his trademark white trainers and buttoned-up- to-the-collar jacket, Liam was his ever-cocky self, strolling around the stage, nodding to the beat and chewing gum.

Tracks including opening number Four Letter Word, the aptly named Beatles and Stones, For Anyone and Kill For a Dream were greeted with a decent amount of applause.

Obvious favourites were The Roller and The Beat Goes On.

Liam kept chatter to a minimum between songs muttering something about a ladyboy and something else about John Lennon and £10,000.

He did introduce his encore track of Wigwam, about winning and losing, with the words "because of that beating you gave us last night" after Liverpool claimed victory over his team, Manchester City.

At previous Oasis, and now Beady Eye, gigs, it feels as if Liam Gallagher is not there to "entertain" his audience but rather to grace them with his music, and very kindly let them adore him.

Standing at the front on the stage with his chest puffed out, hands behind his back and chin cocked up in the air, he oozes confidence.

In the track The Beat Goes On, he claims: "Some day all the world will sing my song . . . Somewhere in my heart, the beat goes on".

However, other lyrics are less sure of themselves.

In The Morning Son, he sings "You'll never know unless you try, you're blinded by what you idolise . . . He's in my soul, He's even in my rock and roll" presumably referring to absent brother Noel.

Beady Eye is Liam Gallagher attempting to prove he's more than just Oasis, and even though the crowd chants his name and pays nearly £30 a ticket, that's still to be proved.

Pretty Green Opens Its Second London Store

Liam Gallagher’s Pretty Green label has opened its second London pop-up store in Covent Garden.

The store opened to the public on Saturday 9th April, the store will be officially launched on Friday 6th May by Liam Gallagher.

Located in Covent Garden’s iconic East Piazza, on the Royal Opera House Colonnade the store is located on one floor with 1,914 sq ft of retail space.

Pretty Green draws its inspiration from the art, music and culture scene of the 1960’s and is renowned for its attention to detail with an emphasis on quality fabrics, cut and classic tailoring.

Since launching in 2009, Pretty Green has gone from strength-to-strength and now has four stores, including Carnaby Street, Manchester and Glasgow.

Liam Gallagher says: "I’m made up to be opening our fourth store in Covent Garden, it’s a perfect location for Pretty Green."

The new store will house both the Black and Green Label collections and feature iconic imagery from Liam’s latest shoot for the Pretty Green’s S/S11 collection.

As with each of the Pretty Green stores, Covent Garden will focus on providing monthly live music from a host of established and unsigned bands.

Review: Beady Eye, Rock City

"Liam, Liam, Liam," bellow the sold-out Rock City masses, hours before the last Gallagher standing even steps a foot on stage.

The man that once promised a generation that they'd live forever now returns to the fray under a new guise, but can the mouthiest Manc in rock and self-proclaimed John Lennon spirit guide live up to his own hype?

As the words 'Beady Eye' beam on to the back of the stage, Liam Gallagher leers over his adoring audience with his unmistakable menacing cockiness.

Brimming with that magnetic presence that only a true icon can pull off, he inspires a fanatic reaction from every corner of the room with a simple slow turn of his head.

"Sleepwalk away your life if it turns you on," growls Gallagher on opener Four Letter Word. Indeed, nothing would have been easier than for the remaining Oasis members to kick into auto-pilot following Noel's departure – and that's not a million miles from the truth.

At times, their set wanders into a bit of Brit-pop pastiche, but I daresay that's entirely the idea – this is everyman classic rock n' roll to touch that primal raw nerve that lies deep in the belly of your soul.

Charged with bravado but stripped of stadium anthemics, the same man who once told the world that he was going to live forever now stands before us biting back with a chorus of "nothing ever lasts forever."

"I'm gunna stand the test of time, like Beatles and Stones," he drones. Although he's already down in the history books, Gallagher will need to pull out something better than a few John Lennon clichés to re-enter them with Beady Eye.

The trick is to not overthink it. They're clearly a band designed for punters to just switch off and rock out to, and where's the harm in that? Bring The Light is little more than some pub-rock clichés strung together by an infectious Chuck Berry groove, but when played live it's charged with phat pounding bass and a thunderous old-school rock n' roll charm which sends the dads and lads wild, while the pedestrian plod-along The Roller is received as a near-biblical classic as if the crowd have never even heard John Lennon's Instant Karma.

With his trademark swagger and stone-faced persona, Gallagher patrols the Rock City stage less like he's performing and more like he's squaring up to everyone in the room, and they lap it up as the horizon becomes a haze of pumping fists and flailing crowdsurfers' limbs.

The set gets off to a dazzling start, but about a quarter of the way in it loses a momentum that it doesn't really regain until the encore – but Gallagher's disciples barely seem to notice or care.

In fact, the only negative response of the night is saved for him dedicating the monotonous and turgid Brit-pop karaoke dud Kill For A Dream to Man City – not wise in a room of Forest fans.

Tonight, fun as it may be, Gallagher's own legend precedes him, but the music sadly lags far behind.

It's just a bit of harmless fun though – they've not reinvented the wheel but they're still speeding. What is it they say? 'Let it be.'
