Pretty Green
The man with the fringe talks to Hannah Nathanson about competing with his brother and having his first drink in five months
How did you celebrate Man City winning the FA Cup?
Oh, man, that was good. I hadn't had a drink for five months and I had a little drink that day and then went back to celebrate at my house. We didn't go mad or anything but I'm still buzzing. It was a long time coming.
Has Noel listened to your new band?
I'm sure he's had a listen. I don't think he's got Beady Eye on his iPod and he probably doesn't listen to it daily, but he's a music lover and Different Gear, Still Speeding is a top-notch album.
Will you listen to his new solo album?
Definitely. I want to see if it's as good as the ones I sang on.
Do you feel pressure to escape the Oasis legacy?
No, I'll always be Oasis, it's in my veins. I'm never going to get away from it and I don't want to get away but I'm not doing it any more. You'd go mad if you had to explain yourself every time someone said, 'Are you from Oasis?' It's easier just to say, 'Yeah, that's me.' I like the same music now that I liked then. I've no reason to escape from it because I'm very proud of it.
Why did you start a fashion label?
I just like clothes, I always have. I wouldn't call myself a fashion designer, though. When I first saw our shop in Carnaby Street I thought, 'This is f***ing cool, this will do.' There's a lot of history there, it's where The Stones and The Who bought their clothes.
OK, but how much do you actually do?
I have my little take on it every now and again but there's a big team around me. I put my ideas across and then they're... expanded.
Who has the final say on an item of clothing?
I try it on and if it makes me feel good and gives me a kick then it goes in and if it doesn't, it goes in the bin. I go through everything with a fine-tooth comb.
Who would you choose as a brand ambassador?
There's no one better than me. I wouldn't mind getting a bit of Pretty Green on the Queen, though. She's still got a spring in her step.
Why the name Pretty Green?
It's an old Jam song. I wouldn't have called it Liam Gallagher. We tried that in the 1990s with a shoe collection but it's just f***ing stupid.
Do the other members of Beady Eye wear it?
There's no gun to their head forcing them to, but they seem to like it, which is good.

The Beatles
Liam Gallagher is hoping to cast Johnny Depp in the Beatles movie he is making.
The former Oasis star is producing a film about the Fab Four’s company Apple Corps, based on Richard DiLello’s book The Longest Cocktail Party.
In an interview with Q magazine he said he would like Pirates Of The Caribbean star Depp to take a leading role.
Gallagher, who fronts new band Beady Eye, wants the US actor to play Derek Taylor, the Beatles’ long-time publicist.
Depp became friendly with the Gallaghers during the late 1990s, when he was dating model Kate Moss. He contributed to Oasis recording sessions, playing a slide guitar solo on the track Fade In-Out.
Gallagher, 38, told the July edition of Q, out on Wednesday: “Derek Taylor was a dude. He’s up there with Lennon.
“The film script is done. It’s gonna blow people’s minds, man. I’m just waiting to find out when we choose the actors.
“I want Johnny Depp to play Derek Taylor. It’s got Johnny Depp written all over it, man.”
DiLello’s book is an insider’s guide to Apple, examining the company and the band’s demise.

Andy Bell
Beady Eye
Part two of an interview with Andy Bell from Gibson.
When Beady Eye formed in 2009, the press and fans alike wondered if the former Oasis band members could make a go of it without their leader, Noel Gallagher. But the foursome—composed of frontman Liam Gallagher, guitarists Andy Bell and Gem Archer, and drummer Chris Sharrock—quickly proved the naysayers wrong with a killer debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding. The group have spent the better part of 2011 touring the world and proving without a doubt that, even without Noel, they’re still rock ‘n’ roll stars.
For Andy Bell, the band has given him the opportunity to return to his original instrument of guitar after a decade playing bass with Oasis. Bell sat down at the Gibson NYC Showroom to talk about his years in Oasis, plans for Beady Eye’s next album and his mystical 13-year-old mentor.
