Beady Eye Interview From The Reading Festival
Below Is an interview with Beady Eye after yesterdays appearance at the Reading Festival.
Beady Eye
Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Liam Gallagher took the opportunity to have a dig at brother Noel during Beady Eye's Reading Festival debut on Friday, but Twitter was far from impressed.
The former Oasis stars have been embroiled in a bitter war of words since the band’s acrimonious split in 2009, with Liam even launching a lawsuit against his brother after Noel accused him of pulling out of V Festival because he was too hungover to play.
Liam has since dropped the lawsuit but their rivalry continues, with Liam telling the audience during Beady Eye’s set that Noel was probably ‘somewhere over there playing a f**king acoustic guitar’.
Noel probably won’t be too concerned by the dig, as Beady Eye were subject to a barrage of criticism by Twitter users last night as the BBC aired highlights from their set.
One fan was pleased to see the band’s name trending, writing: ‘Beady Eye are trending! Not as good as Oasis, but still a bloody good british rock band!’
But most tweets were from users slating their appearance, with @petelemania writing: ‘Imagine being at a festival and choosing to watch Beady Eye over... anything else.’
@faamehookerr summed up the thoughts of many by simply saying: ‘Beady Eye are really bad.’
Mike Joyce, former drummer for The Smiths, added: ‘Just watched My Chemical Romance & Beady Eye ont' telly at Reading. I'm so glad I was in The Smiths.’
The band will be hoping for a better reception tonight when they perform at Reading’s sister site in Leeds.

Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Beady Eye made their debut appearance at Reading Festival tonight (August 26) - and singer Liam Gallagher couldn't resist having a little dig at his brother Noel during the show.
Most members of the band, including Liam, were making their first live appearance at the festival since 2000, when they headlined the festival as part of Oasis. Beady Eye headlined the NME/Radio 1 Stage tonight while My Chemical Romance were headlined the Main Stage, with a guest appearance from Queen guitarist Brian May.
Liam was uncharacteristically un-chatty throughout the set, seeming to only make one brief reference to brother Noel (pictured right), joking that his sibling, who has recently launched his solo career, was "somewhere over there playing a fucking acoustic guitar."
The Beady Eye man recently filed a lawsuit against Noel for accusing him of being hungover during V Festival 2009 - where Oasis pulled out of the Chelmsford leg with Liam citing laryngitis as the cause. He has since dropped the lawsuit after Noel admitted his brother did have a doctor's note for the illness.
Beady Eye played tracks from their debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' at Reading and head to Leeds Festival later today.

Noel Gallagher
Last night (August 25), GuitarWorld.com's Josh Hart and I attended a listening session for Noel Gallagher's upcoming post-Oasis solo album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, which comes out November 8 on Sour Mash Records.
Gallagher showed up, by the way.
Allow me to set the scene:
The event took place on the roof (and in an adjoining penthouse suite) of the Mondrian Hotel Soho on Crosby Street in New York City. This meant that, along with the new Gallagher tunes, we also were treated to one of the best-possible views of Lower Manhattan at sunset, not to mention free mixed drinks, which were named after songs from the new album. I made several trips to the bar for a drink called the "Record Machine" -- plus an obligatory beer or two (and a pocketful of spring rolls).
Listeners got to hear six songs from the album, including "The Death Of You And Me," which can be downloaded at Gallagher's website. The five other titles were "Everybody's On The Run," "Dream On," "If I Had A Gun...," "(I Wanna Live In A Dream With My) Record Machine" and "AKA... What A Life!"
I don't know if all those Record Machines, beers and spring rolls had any influence on my judgement, but I must admit: The six Gallagher tunes were easily among the best music I've heard in 2011. This is saying something, because I usually hate everything after one listen.
First of all, it's obvious that Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer and the other Beady Eye blokes took one element of late-period Oasis' sound with them -- the heavy guitars and "rock 'n' roll band" feel -- leaving Noel with the great, soaring melodies -- also leaving him, in a sense, with pure composition without the constraints of the preconceived way a particular band or artist is supposed to sound.
Some of the tunes reminded me of top-notch Oasis B-sides, which, as any Oasis fan knows, is a very good thing. The instrumentation varied from track to track, sometimes acoustic, sometimes atmospheric and dreamy; I thought I heard a Mellotron during "Record Machine," which had a Beatles-inspired feel and beat, much like George Harrison's "When We Was Fab."
Some tunes were slow, moody kings of the minor key; others were upbeat and catchy, surpassing "The Death Of You And Me" in hook-ery and riff-ery. By the way, "The Death Of You And Me," with its New Orleans-influenced brass solo break, is a prime example of the new freedom Gallagher is displaying with High Flying Birds.
"There are no guitars on the album," said Gallagher, upon hearing we were from Guitar World.
"No, I heard a guitar solo in 'Record Machine,' " I said.
"Yeah, there are two solos on the whole album," he said.
Anyway, just so it's out there, the six songs I heard were brilliant. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
Stay tuned for a full interview with Gallagher on GuitarWorld.com in the very near future.

Noel Gallagher
"I recorded one song and it was fun and I thought it sounded really good. Then I recorded another and I thought, 'That's f*cking great, man'."
Noel Gallagher was in New York City last night for a listening party for his album due out in November on Sour Mash/Mercury, and he was typically full of his matter-of-fact bluster. And most importantly, Noel's new tracks deliver the goods.
The preview for "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds" was held atop Soho's Mondrian Hotel, with a spectacular view on a balmy, pre-hurricane Irene night over a blaring soundsystem.
Gallagher, the premier songwriter of his generation, doesn't simply rely on the bag of tricks he developed during his tenure with Oasis. The songs that make-up "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds" have a cinematic feel and artistic scope only hinted at over Gallagher's 15-plus year career. Fans of Oasis won't be disappointed, though, as there are plenty of the usual touchstones. But those who dismissed the band, for whatever reason, have reason to seek this album out. From the all-too-brief time I got to spend with the tracks last night I'm tipping this to be one of the best albums of the year, if not the best.
If you don't believe me, just sample Gallagher's new single "The Death of You and Me" or watch the video. It's familiar and classic, but adventurous and different all at the same time. And Gallagher's voice sounds better than ever, both here and throughout the new album.
And Gallagher seems to know what he has on his hands. He was relaxed and talkative last night, taking time to shoot the breeze with all comers and share anecdotes about the making of the album.
Watch my column for an interview with Gallagher as well as producer Dave Sardy, and more news about "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds".

Noel Gallagher
Is Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds the album fans have been waiting for? After a preview listen to most of the cuts, we'd say so - definitely not maybe!
Noel Gallagher strolled out onto the rooftop of New York's swanky Mondrian Soho Hotel last evening (25 August), exuding the sangfroid cool of a guy without a care in the world.
The singer-songwriter and guitarist, casual chic in jeans and a fitted plaid shirt, his hair closely cropped, was in the Big Apple to say hello to an intimate gathering of label execs and journalists who had just heard a six-song preview of his upcoming solo album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
'Much-anticipated' solo album, that is. In a pre-playback speech, Mercury Records President David Massey, who during his time at Epic Records signed Oasis to the US, alluded to the fact that a Noel Gallagher disc was something that fans had clamored for since the band's debut in the early '90s. "But Noel was quite clear that there would would never be a solo album from him as long as there was Oasis," Massey said.
A few minutes later, with glasses clinked and good cheers exchanged all around, we were treated to a generous helping of the ten tracks that make up Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. What follows are MusicRadar's general impressions of the songs - and it should be stressed that what we heard was in a group setting, with several chatty Cathy's nearby.
1. Everybody's On The Run
A rousing opener. Epic in nature, recalling the grandeur of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass, with soaring background vocals and heart-tugging strings that blend for a massive dramatic sweep. Throughout, Noel sings like a desperate, impassioned soul, weaving melodies that swirl around one's head but stick like glue. The bridge has a classic rock feel, a symphonic build-up. Acoustic guitars overwhelm and lead into the last resounding chorus. Gradually, the music drifts away, leaving Noel, alone on a hilltop, singing the title hook. That's one smashing song!
2. Dream On
No, not a cover of the Aerosmith classic, but on first listen it's a big-time sing-along. A jaunty, pounding beat joined by briskly strummed acoustics, it's something of a more aggressive She's Electric, but Noel, in a more throaty vocal, brings a new kind of charm to the proceedings. Brass dominates the middle section, with a trumpet solo that transports one to New Orleans. "Dream on/ shout it out to me," Noel pleads in the final chorus as drums and brass build, only to be overtaken by electric guitars that conclude the song with a rocking flourish.
3. If I Had A Gun
Ever since leaked soundcheck demos of this song appeared on the internet, much interest has attended its studio rendering, and the results don't disappoint. After a bare bones, acoustic-and-vocal, quasi-Wonderwall opening, the song blossoms into just what might become a modern-day rock standard. Gallagher's vocals are emotional but never mawkish. The bridge and solo sections are stirring, with acoustic guitars and strings piling up. But it's Noel's double or triple-tracked harmonies, haunting and vulnerable, that really hit the target. Hands-down winner on this one.
4. The Death Of You And Me
Being that it's the first single from High Flying Birds, the capoed acoustic intro that ushers in Noel's gentle falsetto is already familiar to millions. The overall mood is laid-back, '70s era Kinks, with a melancholy Gallagher singing, "High time, summer in the city/ kids are looking pretty/ but isn't it a pity in the sunshine." And, of course, he draws out that last word, making it almost a sneer - "sunshiiiiine." While the track bears an unmistakable resemblance to The Importance Of Being Idle, it gradually takes on its own form, looming larger, with another taste of New Orleans-style brass creeping in.
5. (I Wanna Live In A Dream In My) Record Machine
An endearing, wondrous cut. Over an acoustic guitar and a Phil Spectorish jingle stick, Noel begins singing what might be his own teenage symphony to God. Bass and electrics climb aboard, with Noel's double-tracked voice becoming mega. And then there's strings as he sings the title big and bold in a chorus that is bound to stick - we're talking cell-phones in the air. Whether it's an homage to the Wall Of Sound or not, the sonics increase, and before long Noel is at the top of his lungs, open-hearted and open-throated - it's a delirious feeling. After a brief, gentle break, the song breaks away into a grand gallop. Here's one pony that can't be tamed.
6. AKA... What A Life!
A four-on-the-floor tom beat drives this incessant rocker. Noel, cynical and evil, sings with a world-weariness, and as he hammers home the chorus he again draws out the last word, making it "liiiiiiife." Piercing guitars link the verse and chorus sections, but it is with this song that an honest-to-goodness six-string solo finally breaks out - and it's ripping, barking and snarling. A final elongated verse ends the song on an ominous note, but it's one that leaves the listener breathlessly waiting for more.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will be released on 17 October 2011 (8 November in the US).

No Other Singles ..Done!`A EP Was Planned For The End Of The Year, But That's Been Put Back Now, 'Something Else Has Come Up' He Tells Me.
`So..We´ve Got Reading And Leeds, And Then I`m Off To Canada For A Few Days With The Wife, And Then Off To Japan, Come Back, Tour Mainland Europe, Maybe Do A Small British Tour, And Then America, Break Over Christmas, And Then Straight Into The Studio To Start On The 2nd Album`.
The Band Started Touring In March And Have Covered Europe, America And Japan In That Time, But What About Abu Dhabi In September..Was That A Band Or Management Decision...`Well, We Were Asked To Play There, And Thought Fuck It, Why Not,...Its Not The Sort Of Place I Would Go To On My Holidays, But It Will Be Just Like Any Other Gig Man, We Get These Offers, But Its Not The Management, They Don`t Tell Us What To Do!`..... The Band Have Played At A Number Of Festivals This Summer With T In The Park Being `Really Good, Proper Gig That,`... And Belsonic Being..`Fucking Mega`..But T In The Park Seems To Be The Number One Festival.
Being A Music Freak, I Ask Liam..What Sort Of Stuff Are You Listening To At The Moment..`Just The Usual Man, John Lennon, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who And The Stones...I Don`t Really Listen To Anything New, ... I Don`t Really Listen To Music To Be Quite Fucking Honest...Too Busy Trying To Fucking Make It....He Says Laughing!
Oasis Did Some Great Covers, And So The Question `What Song Would You Love To Wrap Your Vocals Around `Had To Be Asked...`Well, Nothing Jumps Out, But We Did `Across The Universe`, I `ve Always Wanted To Do That!.....I Then Chucked `We Love You`From The Stones Into The Mix, A Song Oasis Were Rehearsing Before The Dig Out Your Soul Tour,..`Yep, Done That, Done A Cover Version Of That, That Sounds Fucking Great, And Is Ready To Go Anytime....God, Forgot All About That....Should Have Done It With Oasis, But Shit Happens!
We Then Talk About His Children ( Gene, Great Drummer, In A Little Band At School, And Lennon, Plays A Bit Of Guitar, And Thinks Of Himself As A Bit Of A Singer, But Their Both Into It`) , Pretty Green ( Its All Go Man, Got Some Top Stuff Coming Out! ) And The Bochum Festival ( `This Seems To Be The Quietest Festival Ever, What Are They Doing Out There?..I Tell Him, Mainly Eating.......EATING! Fucking Hell!`..)
Now Any Great Rockstar Needs A Great Haircut, That's Just Part And Parcel Of Being Mr Rock n Roll....So....The Burning Question..Any Tips On Good Hair?..`Nuts.....Yeah, Nuts Apparently....Walnuts, Shit Like That...Not Geezers Nuts, Not Gonna Put Them In My Mouth, But.Anyway... You Have Good Hair, Nothing Wrong With It`... But With That Thought, I Think I Will Get Some Nuts Anyway,You`ve Got To Have Good Hair!
8-25 Pm, And I Am The Resurrection From The Stone Roses Is Blaring Out, Liam Does A Bit Of Stretching, Swaggers Around A Bit, All Ready To Rock n Roll! `Yellow Tail`..Then Kicks In, And The Band, Led By Liam, Move Onto The Stage, The Crowd Erupts, Mr Rock n Roll Is Here. `...`Evening`....Another Swagger, Signals To The Sound Engineer To Shove His Vocals Up To 11, `We`re Beady Eye, And This Is Four Letter Word`...He Then Does The Swagger To The Mic, And Then Moves Back Again, Swaggers Forward, And Then Attacks The Mic, With A Voice, Which Just Blows Away Any Other Rockstar Out There ....And There We Have It, Another Night, Another City, And Liam Being Mr Rock n Roll!
The Crowd`s Eyes Transfixed On His Movements Across The Stage, And Oblivious To The Other Members! .....`Bring The Light`And `Wigwam`Are The Two Stand Out Songs For The Night, `Wigwam` Sounding So Much Better Live Than On The Record! And As Quick As A Flash, Its Over, One Hour And The Band Are Off Stage, Ready For Another Day!
Liam Gallagher - A Proper Rock n Roll Star! And There Are Not Many Around!
