Video: Beady Eye At The Wind Music Awards

Below is a video from the 27th of May, when Beady Eye made an appearance at the Wind Music Awards in Verona, Italy.

Liam Gallagher And Family Out And About In New York

When he appeared in 2006 flashing the finger at photographers, there was no doubt he was a chip off the old block.

But Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton's son Gene was certainly more well-behaved as he arrived with his famous parents for a taping of the Late Show With David Letterman.

Wearing a navy blue and yellow T-shirt, a serious-looking Gene clutched his mother's hand as they made their way into the television studio.

Former All Saints singer Nicole looked cute in a black playsuit teamed with a star-print blazer and sky-high wedges for the family day out.

Alan McGee Talks Oasis & Beady Eye

Taken from an interview with Alan McGee, read the full article here.

How do you go about coming off drugs when you're hanging around with members of Oasis?

Oasis were cool about me getting clean. It was harder with me and The Primals, as I grew up with them. When I came back clean, it must have been strange for them. They are all sober now, so it's all good between us.

What was the most profound thing Liam Gallagher ever said to you?

He said once to me, 'We are Oasis and you are Creation, so it's all meant to be'. When I thought about it, I took it as being very wise. Everything is written.

Will you be stopping by to see Beady Eye at Summer Sonic?

Yeah! I love them. People are down on Liam and the band, but it's a really good album so I will go and see them.

Chris Evans Reveals Noel Gallagher Fall Out Over TFI Friday Oasis Diss

Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans has revealed that he has not spoken to Noel Gallagher since he criticised Oasis' 1997 album 'Be Here Now'.

Evans famously mocked the album on his former Channel 4 TV show TFI Friday shortly after its release by pretending to resuscitate it using a defibrillator.

He revealed Gallagher had not taken kindly to the joke as he appeared alongside friend Zoe Ball on Radio 2's 2DAY earlier today (June 22).

“When 'Be Here Now' came out we were all so disappointed with the album we opened up a TFI Friday with a defibrillator trying to resuscitate it and give the album some life – he saw the joke and has never spoken to me since.”

Evans told Ball that Gallagher had since “admitted it was a terrible album”, but said he had given up hopes of being forgiven.

“No never gonna happen, doesn’t matter,” he said, before adding that he was now in the camp of Gallagher's former Oasis bandmate and brother, Liam.

Liam Gallagher Talks Beady Eye, Oasis, Pretty Green, Stone Roses, Peter Kay, Lady Gaga And More

He may be a devoted dad, but Liam Gallagher is still berating everything in sight, including his “Louis Walsh”-esque brother. Jimi Famurewa ducks for cover

With a frightening snarl on his lips and his hand an inch from our face, Liam Gallagher is looming aggressively over ShortList. Don’t worry: things haven’t taken a turn for the worse after we criticised Songbird or revealed a pair of novelty Manchester United socks. The former Oasis frontman is merely re-enacting what it’s like to be confronted by a pushy paparazzo.

Rude snappers aren’t the only ones to feel his expletive-laden ire during our frenzied 30-minute interview at a west London hotel. Unbowed by Beady Eye’s modest record sales and celebrity detractors, the younger Gallagher brother still has plenty to get off his parka-clad chest. And he’s doing it in his usual delicate manner…

It’s been a year since you formed Beady Eye. How do you think it’s gone?

The first six gigs [we did] were a bit nervous but the pressure’s off now. We’re sh*t-hot live and we’ve been working on some new stuff. The next album will have bigger and better songs on it. This album was definitely a debut because there are certain songs that are just up and at you. But the next one is going to be mega — we’re not here to mess about.

Have you had to eject people yelling for Oasis songs at gigs?

I haven’t heard them, but they can do what they want. It ain’t going to happen. And that’s not because we don’t love Oasis, but because it’s over and we’ve got to move on. I think that 90 per cent of people want to move on too. Oasis had its f*cking time. People can go, “They were sh*t after the second album,” but I think we made some good [later] albums. We ended when we ended but up until that point we put out some good tunes, we were real and we didn’t take any sh*t. You need a band like that, so hopefully Beady Eye will carry that on.

Do you rate nu-folk bands such as Mumford & Sons?

I’m sure they’re all nice lads but that’s not for me, man. They look like f*cking Amish people. You know them ones with the big sideys that don’t use electricity? Growing their own food and putting barns up. I need music to be a bit more sexy and played by people who look a bit f*cking dangerous.

Brother are being compared to Oasis quite a bit...

I’ve heard a couple of tunes and it reminds me of Blur and Elastica. That to me is Britpop. Oasis weren’t that. Brother sound like they’re a bit more Camden than anything else. It’s not my cup of tea. I said, “I’m not having posh lads with tattoos,” but at least they’re playing guitar music. I was just seeing what they were made of, really.

So did they come back at you?

Yeah, they came back and said, “We don’t care what he says, we want to know what Noel says.” I wouldn’t give a f*ck what he’s got to say. Our kid looks more like Louis Walsh these days.

You’ve also recently been critical of Glastonbury. Are you not interested in playing it again?

I’m not, mate. Listen, I don’t wake up in the morning and go, “Here you are, the world according to Liam Gallagher.” Someone asked me about Glastonbury so I told them that last time I played there it was sh*t. You can hear the crowd talking while you’re playing, they don’t put any money into the PA and it’s just full of f*cking idiots. It’s like Bond Street with mud.

Were you disappointed with the low chart position of Beady Eye’s singles?

I’m not even worried. I’m certainly not arsed whether we go in at No1 or No71. I’ve been No1. If I was in a young band now then I’d be worried about it, but I’ve been there and had a look over the wall at what it is. It’s not guitar music’s time right now and that’s the way it is. You can’t force it to be in the charts and just because it is in the charts or at No1 doesn’t mean it’s any f*cking good. The f*cking Birdie Song nearly went to No1 and that wasn’t any good.

What do you think about people such as Lady Gaga?

I f*cking like her. Some of it’s bordering on ridiculous, but she brings it back around again because she can sing, she can dance, she’s out there taking chances and she’s not like all the other girl acts. She seems like she’s a bit f*cking mad and I like that. I like her, man.

After Oasis split, did you ever consider quitting music?

No. No way. Noel, for whatever reasons he’s f*cking spinning this week, left the band. We didn’t split up. He decided he wanted to get off and show the world he could turn a light switch on and off and write a tune. Everyone knows he can write songs and he was the main man in Oasis, but obviously that wasn’t enough for him. But I never thought, “That’s me. I’ve had my 18 years or whatever in the sun.” Music has always been a very big part of me. I’m going to do it until the day I die, man. And, hopefully, do some clothes at the same time. And look cool as f*ck until the day I die.

Since starting your clothing label Pretty Green, have the free clothes stretched your wardrobe to bursting point?

Yeah, man. Since I started Pretty Green my missus hasn’t been happy. I’ve always had more shoes than her [laughs]. I like my shoes. I just have to go through it every now and again and think, “D’you know what? I’ll give that to charity.” That makes me feel good. There’s loads of f*cking cool-looking tramps round our way now, mate.

How do you feel about celebrities wearing Pretty Green?

A few people like it. A lot of footballers, and Lewis Hamilton’s into it. There’s something in there for everyone. The prices could be a little bit expensive for people who haven’t got that much money, which is why we do the Green Label, but the Black Label looks f*cking tasty.

Any people you wouldn’t want wearing it?

Well, I would say [Manchester] United players, but they seem to like it a lot so we’ll leave them. Just f*cking axe murderers, paedophiles and people like that.

What about Jedward?

I don’t mind them little f*ckers. They don’t take themselves too seriously, do they?

Who were your style heroes when you were younger, then?

For me growing up in Manchester it was The Stone Roses. They always looked cool.

Where do you stand on The Stone Roses reunion rumours?

I’d love the Roses to get back, play that album and make a sh*tload of money for themselves, because I’m sure they didn’t make that much [before]. Do some great f*cking gigs, see what the reaction is and go make a new record. We come on to I Am The Resurrection at all of our gigs and the crowd go nuts. Apparently, Ian Brown’s worried about singing but he wouldn’t even have to — we’d sing it for him.

And what about an Oasis reunion?

What would be the point? We don’t get on with each other. Noel’s going down his path and I’m going down mine.

Do you miss singing those old songs?

No, because the songs we’re doing are equally good, I think. It’s early days. We only put the album out in February and some of those songs are going to grow into classics. I had a great time singing Oasis songs, without a doubt. But I think Oasis is beatable, man. There were certain things Oasis lacked.

Such as?

A bit more adventure. I’m not saying like Radiohead, where they go experimenting — a lot of that sh*t is barking up the wrong tree. With Oasis we did experiment but Noel was holding back the reins a bit. The thing for me is rock’n’roll isn’t about analysing it. It’s about if it makes you jump up and go, “Yeah! That’s a tune.” I could do you a well-crafted tune tomorrow, but if it just goes over your head, who cares? I don’t want to make lift music. Noel would write a song, it’d cover all the bases but it lacks that killer punch. And that’s what we’ve got with me. The people that go, “Oh, Beady Eye is not Oasis,” well, I’ll tell you what — you wait until you hear Noel’s music because that ain’t gonna be Oasis either. It might remind you of it but there’ll be something missing. And what’ll be missing is f*cking me.

Do you think you’ve mellowed with age?

Yeah, without a doubt. People live in the past — I’m 20 years older than that person they talk about. I’ve still got bits of that guy, but I’ve grown up as well.

What else do you get up to away from music?

I’m into that Rastamouse, mate. But I don’t watch it too much because my kids are a bit too old for it now. The usual, man. I’ve been to watch the new Pirates Of The Caribbean. I’m into my little sausage dogs — I’ve got a new chocolate-dappled one called Brigitte Bardot. It’s mega.

Have you seen Peter Kay since his jibe at you at last year’s Brits?

I’ve not bumped into that c*nt, but you’d know it if I did. How could you miss that idiot? The thing with him is he says it behind your back. I didn’t throw the award into the crowd to be a “knobhead” [like Kay said]. I threw it in to give it to the fans because Oasis was over and it was theirs now. It was like a José Mourinho thing. But obviously that f*cking idiot took it the wrong way because he’s not worldly and he doesn’t come down to London. He just lives in ‘Boooorlton’.

How’s the Beatles film you’re working on coming along?

I’ve seen the first script and it’s f*cking funny. It’s not Austin Powers-y but it’s got great humour in it. It’s going to be mega. We need an actor to play Derek Taylor [The Beatles’ press officer and lead role in the film] and I’m going for Johnny Depp. He’s a big star, he’s a great actor and he’s got that quirky sh*t we need.
Derek Taylor’s a bit like he’s always tripping his head off.

Finally, was there any truth to the rumour that you burgled Richard and Judy when you were younger?

Saying that I robbed their house… Are you taking the p*ss? It’s a good job I f*cking like them otherwise they’d have heard from our lawyers. I woke up that morning, saw it in the papers and went, “You f*cking what?” Some other c*nt could get uptight about that, I just laughed at it. I know who did rob their house, mind [laughs].

Liam Gallagher Gives Mumford Fash Bash

Liam Gallagher had better not ask Mumford & Sons for a spot on the guest list soon.
The Beady Eye frontman has hammered the folk band for the way they dress.

He said: "They look like f****** Amish people.

You know, them ones with the big sideys that don't use electricity?

"Growing their own food and putting barns up... I need music to be a bit more sexy and played by people who look a bit f****** dangerous."

He also had a dig at newlywed brother Noel, saying: "Our kid looks more like Louis Walsh these days."

Talking clobber again, he told Shortlist magazine, out today, that he owns more shoes than missus Nicole.

Liam added: "I've always had more shoes than her, I like my shoes.

"I just have to go through it every now and again and think, 'D'you know what? I'll give that to charity.' That makes me feel good."

Sounds like he's after Gok Wan's job.

Review, Gallery And Videos Of Beady Eye In Toronto

British rocker Liam Gallagher was clearly in friendly territory on Monday night at Sound Academy before his post-Oasis band Beady Eye took the stage for their much anticipated Toronto debut.

First of all, Gallagher’s married to Hamilton, Ont.’s Nicole Appleton, and they have a son together.

So maybe it was family, and not a group of fans on a small balcony overlooking the packed floor below, that dangled a large Union Jack flag minutes before Gallagher appeared on stage.

Whatever the case, about 10 minutes later, Gallagher came out decked in his own neck-to-knees stylish Union Jack jacket with a questionable pageboy haircut but still looking every inch the rock star. The chants of “Liam! Liam!” started up shortly afterwards.

Swagger fully intact and in great, big voice, with his arms behind his back in his trademark stance, Gallagher then let it rip for the next hour and 10 minutes.

With only one Beady Eye album, Different Gear, Still Speeding, to play from, the occasional B-side (Two of A Kind), bonus track (Man Of Misery) and cover (World Of Twist’s Sons of The Stage) was thrown into the mix too.

Gallagher, aided by guitarists Gem Archer and Andy Bell and drummer Chris Sharrock (essentially four-fifths of Oasis), plus touring bassist Jeff Wootton and keyboardist Matt Jones, had the audience riveted to his every move, whether he was rolling up a towel in one fist like he was getting ready to deliver a punch, or just prowling the stage checking fans out.

And even if the Beady Eye songs aren’t uniformly great - the album is a hit and miss affair - you’ve got to give Liam credit for being the first Gallagher out of the gate with music.

While he is touring North America with Beady Eye for the first time, his older brother Noel - who left Oasis after one final furious fight with his sibling before a 2009 Paris concert - just got married for the second time this past weekend overseas (an event to which Liam wasn’t invited) and has yet to release his first post-Oasis solo album.

This isn’t meant to pit one brother against the other, only to say that after you’ve been in a super successful Britpop band like Oasis for 15 years, it’s not easy to emerge from that shadow.

And given Noel was always thought of as the band’s brain trust as the guitarist and main songwriter, it’s surprising that Liam’s the one first up to bat.

Of the Beady Eye songs, charging rockers like Four Letter Word and Beatles and Stones worked best, opening the evening one after the other, but middling numbers like Millionaire, Two Of a Kind, For Anyone, Wind up Dream, Morning Son, and Wigwam, dragged the proceedings down.

They also had one good ballad, Kill For a Dream, but the other standouts were of the mid-tempo to rocking variety like The Roller, the set highlight Bring The Light with black and white film of go-go girls played in the background while Gallagher dedicated the song to “all the beautiful ladies of Toronto,” Standing On The Edge Of the Noise, and Three Ring Circus.

Sadly, Gallagher has decided any Oasis material is a no-go zone in his current live show and one couldn’t help wonder how much better Monday night’s show might have been had he thrown in the odd Oasis song, even if it was just the ones he, and not Noel, had written.

No one can deny the musical past, especially when it’s one as rich as that of Oasis.

Four Letter Word

The Hippy Mafia On Supporting Beady Eye In Toronto

Gaz from the Hippy Mafia who's band are supporting Beady Eye's in Canada, took time to answer a few questions ahead of tonight's gig.

The Hippy Mafia is the collaboration of five individuals from five music genres hailing from Manchester UK and Ontario Canada.



Who's in the band and how did you meet up?

The three of us are from Manchester, we played together on and off for years. Then we moved to Toronto for no particular reason, there we met two West Indian Torontonians who were huge Oasis and Manchester music fans. Which was unusual we thought, we all shared a love and passion for the Beatles as well as 60's soul and funk.

So we formed a band Hippymafia, who have been described by one journalist 'the Black Beatles',which I love. Not sure its accurate, but I'm having that one.

How did the Beady Eye gigs come about? What should fans expect?

Our mate here in Toronto is another ex-pat Mancunian. 'Coatsey' he's an old school friend of Liam's and as well as guitar tech for us he is also guitar tech for Snow Patrol who share the same Tour manager Neil Mather as Beady Eye.

Neil was also Tour Manager for the Happy Mondays, my former band. Also Castro our vocalist/guitar was in Bonehead's band. It's all very incestious, if that's a fucking word?

We mix 60's type melody/heavy guitars with harmonies and poetic Rap. We have 2 vocalist one sings one raps. Don't be put off by the Rap element, it's rapping for folks who don't usually dig rap. It all fits together, strange as it may seem sort of Beach Boys meets Jay-Z if you like!!!

Have you heard Different Gear, Still Speeding? If so, what are your thoughts?

To be blunt, best album in the last five years for me Oasis aside of course. It's a grower (which are always the best albums)it takes a few listens, but it blows my mind love it.

Each week I have a different favourite track, its got attitude and melody. It has a very Rubber Soul/Revolver era feel, I can't stop playing it. It's an album that will have legs today's favourite is Wigwam. We really like the new album a lot, and we're psyched to hear the songs live.

Were you fans of Oasis? If so, when did you first hear them? What are your favourite tracks?

I seem alone on this but my favourite album is 'Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants'. It may be because I played drums for the support band (Proud Mary) on that tour, so I got to see it close up.. I first heard them off a demo Phil Saxe had when he was working for Factory Records. As for fav track it's difficult, off the top of my head 'D'You Know What I Mean?' is top and 'I'm Outta Time' is a personal favourite.

What are your plans for the rest of the year? Will you be playing dates anywhere outside the US?

Not sure,nothing planned as yet. would love to play IK for obvious reasons.

Thanks to Gaz for taking the time to do this.
