Beady Eye
Blur
David Bowie
Liam Gallagher
Marc Bolan
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
One Direction
The Beatles
A little rivalry never hurt anybody.
Mick Jagger referred to The Beatles as a "four-headed monster"; Bowie was spurred on by the success of his friend Marc Bolan; Oasis entered a musical arms race with Blur.
But since Oasis imploded in a backstage brawl four years ago, Liam Gallagher has found a new foe.
"Who's my biggest competition?" he asks. "One Direction."
"I'm not into their music," he clarifies, but the teen band are that most Gallagher of things - "mad for it".
"Fair play to them, man, they got lucky - like we all do, I guess - and they're just going for it.
"That's what it's all about, innit? It's all going to end at some point. And when it ends, you want to make sure you've ticked all the boxes."
At 40, William John Paul Gallagher is as quotable as ever. But the flippancy masks a larger truth: His real musical nemesis is his brother, Noel.
When Oasis split, Liam came out fighting. Taking the remnants of the band with him, he formed Beady Eye: Bare-bones, ready to rock, full of fury.
But their no-frills debut, Different Gear, Still Speeding, was easily eclipsed by Noel's superior solo album. While the senior Gallagher set off on arena tours, Beady Eye were dumped by their managers and limped across the finishing line with UK album sales of just 500,000.
It may have been a blessing in disguise, though. Because, for the first time since the 1990s, Liam Gallagher had something to prove.
Gauntlet laid down, Beady Eye hired an "absolute outlaw" to produce their new album, BE. His name is Dave Sitek and he's best known for his left-field work with TV On The Radio and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Most importantly, the New Yorker didn't really know, or particularly care, about Oasis.
"That was the most refreshing thing about the whole experience," says guitarist Andy Bell. "He came in without the baggage of thinking, 'well, I'm assuming you're going to want to have it sounding like this'.
"Dave said, 'I work pretty fast'," adds second guitarist Gem Archer, "and we said, 'so do we'. So the race was on."
Reinvigorated, the band laid down 21 tracks in just nine days. Most of them had been demoed in advance but, says Bell, "a lot of that went out the window as soon as Dave started his production".
Gallagher describes Sitek's contribution as "the weird jiggy stuff". BE frequently dips its toes into the cosmos, wandering off into ambient psychedelia at a point when most Oasis tracks would have hit the "fade out" button.
"We just sat back and let it unfold," says Gallagher.
"It's like thinking time," adds Bell, "because nothing really happens. And that's something we don't normally put in records, is a bit of space to think."
"We did take a gamble. But life's a gamble, isn't it? Every album's a gamble. Unless you play it so safe that you're not gambling, and I wouldn't want to hear that album in the first place."
Sibling song
With characteristic humility, Gallagher told the NME earlier this year that BE was the album "Oasis should have made after (What's The Story) Morning Glory". Does he stand by that?
"Yeah. I don't mean this particular album. I think we should have been a little bit more open to this kind of thing in Oasis - i.e. with the producers, do you know what I mean?
"In Oasis, Noel was full-on, hands on producing, and he's not a producer. I think some of the time, with this word 'experimenting', you have to let the experimenting happen.
"We tried to stay out of the way. And that's the biggest... it's the hardest thing, to be not running the show all the time."
Noel's shadow hangs over both the album and the interview. Liam even defines Beady Eye by his absence: "Oasis was pretty much Noel's direction and vision, and this is ours".
But, although the brothers have barely spoken since the end of Oasis, Liam appears to offer an olive branch on the album track Don't Brother Me.
"In the morning, I'll be calling and hoping you understand," he sings. "Give peace a chance. Take my hand - be a man."
Yet, when pushed to talk about the song, he's suddenly cagey.
"Liam, you must getting asked about Don't Brother Me in every interview."
Liam: "No, you're the first."
"When I saw the title, I assumed it would be an angry song - but it's not. What was your state of mind when you wrote it?"
Liam: "Can't remember. Fuzzy. As usual. I didn't sit down to write a song about a brother. There's bits in there about Noel, I guess. And there's bits in there about me, and there's bits in there about my other brother. And there's bits in there about brothers in general. About everyone just chilling, man. And give peace a chance. There's a couple of little cheeky things in there."
"Such as?"
Liam: "I don't know. I wouldn't want to spoil the party."
"Could it be this line: 'I'm sick of all your lying. Your scheming and your crying?'"
Liam: "But that could be about me, though, couldn't it?"
"Well, no. When you sing about 'your' scheming it's directed at someone else."
Liam: "It could be me, though, couldn't it?"
"So you're singing to yourself?"
Liam: "Could be. I talk to myself, so why not?"
"Did you write the song looking in the mirror, then?"
Liam: "Yeah, alright. It's about him. And it could be about people around him. I'm not here to shy away from talking about our kid. You ask me a question and I go for it. But, yeah, it's about a lot of things. It's not about just Noel. Believe you me, if I could write a song about the [expletive] with Noel, I would."
"So why not do that?"
Liam: "Because it's not in me, man."
"OK… Let's take a step back - because ultimately the song is conciliatory."
Liam: "It's a nice song with some nice moments in it, man."
"Nice moments" abound on BE. Don't Brother Me is one of two songs written in waltz time, while Soul Love is a tender ballad that dissolves into a hazy coda played while the band watched the "Star Gate" sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
'Second bite of the apple'
But there are also the expected rock numbers, including first single Flick Of The Finger, which draws on the pounding rhythms of the Velvet Underground's Waiting For The Man and The Stone Roses I Wanna Be Adored.
It's at its best when Sitek pushes the band into unexpected territory. When he loosens his grip, the music occasionally slips back into Oasis-by-numbers bore rock.
Throughout, though, the biggest revelation is Gallagher's voice, which is pushed to the front, with none of the echo or reverb or studio trickery other singers rely on.
"There's a lot of records where you're screaming and shouting, and you think you're singing the biggest vocal ever," he says.
"You come back in the next morning and you think it's going to sound like a jumbo jet and it's that big." [indicates something very small].
"So this time round I thought, do you know what? When I sit in my house playing my guitar, I like the way my voice sounds. I took all the reverb off, tried to be as naked as possible. Sometimes it's hard, because you get self-conscious about it but we had to just get past that."
"Half of these songs on the new album, I was basically whispering it. Come back in and the vocal was massive. It's all about soul, man.
"I can sing punk rock, I can sing rock'n'roll and I can sing soul music and all."
Never short on confidence, Gallagher genuinely believes Beady Eye have made a breakthrough on their new album.
As the next single puts it, he's ready for "a second bite of the apple".
"We'll be gutted if it doesn't get to number one," he says. "But it won't stop us from doing this. That cloud won't be there forever.
"You don't start a band to be number one. You start a band to write good music, and that's what we do."
BE is out on 10 June.

Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Liam Gallagher appears to ask his brother Noel Gallagher to end their feud on the new Beady Eye album.
On the song 'Don't Brother Me' the rocker seemingly offers his sibling an olive branch and a chance to end their war of words which has been going on since Noel, 45, quit Oasis after a backstage bust-up with his younger brother in Paris in August 2009.
On the track he sings: ''You know I'm the man, I'll make you if I can / In the morning I'll be calling and hoping you understand / All or nothing, I'll be calling. Come on now give peace a chance.''
In what seems to be a reference to Noel's solo song 'If I Had A Gun...', Liam also sings: ''Don't brother me when you're done ... did you shoot your gun / You know I'm a man, I'll do what I can / Sick of your scheming and lying / You're always in the sun with your number one.''
Liam and his bandmates Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock debuted the album to invited guests at London's Soho Hotel on Thursday night (05.23.13) and after the playback had finished the 40-year-old musician got stuck into the bar downing tequila shots and sipping on vodka and tonic.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the event, Liam wouldn't admit any of the songs were specifically about Noel but did reveal recent events in his life had influenced the LP.
He said: ''I'm not writing about being number one, or trying to be number one, but what's happened to us recently might filter through in our music. But I'm writing about life and life is how it happens, s**t is going down man. I want to write about real things.''
When it was suggested some of the lyrics were amongst the most honest he had committed to record, he added: ''You're right what you're on about, at the time that's how I felt. At that moment I was writing songs about peace and harmony, it just goes wherever it goes.''
Guitarist Gem also hinted some of the tracks could be influenced by the demise of Oasis but revealed the band never ask the songwriters to explain their lyrics.
He said: ''Look (Oasis), was 10 years of our lives, more for Liam. It's going to come out in what we do. It's just natural. But as a band we don't ask people to explain what their lyrics are about when they bring them in.''
The album contains a number of introspective tracks, including 'I'm Just Saying' and 'Ballroom Figured', which contains the lyrics ''Did you ever loan me that song? / Did you ever know me at all?''
There are also several high energy rockers, such as the horn-driven 'Flick of the Finger', 'Face The Crowd' - which has a big chorus complete with hand claps - and 'Iz Rite', a 60s inspired track with strings.
Gem believes the album has a cinematic feel to it and he credits producer Dave Sitek for guiding the band in a different direction to their debut record, 'Different Gear, Still Speeding'.
He said: ''To me is does sound like a film soundtrack. When we were listening to the finished version of 'Start Anew' that's what it felt like, like it should be on the cinema. That's Dave Sitek, that's what he has brought to us. That sound and scope and those ideas.''

Liam Gallagher
As album playbacks go, Beady Eye’s unveiling of their new effort was as colourful as Liam Gallagher's leopard-print loafers.
The band — Liam, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock — chose to premiere B.E. — out on June 10 — in a cinema beneath the posh Soho Hotel.
It’s the first time I’ve listened to an album eating popcorn, drinking beer, with a Britpop wildman dancing along to his own tunes behind me. It sounds bananas, but it worked a treat.
It was a bit surreal with Liam chipping in with one-line reviews, shouting out his critique of each track. It was even more surreal seeing his silhouette on the screen as his swaggering dance partially blocked the projector, giving everyone a close-up of his sideburns and sunglasses.
Review ... Beady Eye's new album B.E.
So here are my thoughts on the tracks, with Liam’s thoughts written after.
FLICK OF THE FINGER: A big, classic rock ’n’ roll groove of a track... the brass section is something you wouldn’t expect, but works well. Producer DAVE SITEK has lifted the standard on the second album and this is a statement of an opener.
LG: “Fookin’ tune, man.”
SOUL LOVE: Liam’s vocals are stripped back — reverb cutbacks and the pipes are in good working order. A crackly production which gives it the sound of vinyl. It got a round of applause from the room.
LG: “You’re welcome!”
FACE THE CROWD: Raises the tempo with an impressive Gem/Andy groove. Proper clapalong chorus. A nod to THE BEATLES. AUSTIN POWERS would love this track.
LG: “Have that! Tune!”
SECOND BITE OF THE APPLE: Latest single, verses delivered like OASIS’s early single Shakermaker. It builds up nicely.
LG: “F****n’ tune!”
SOON COME TOMORROW: Beautiful melody, Sunday afternoon vibe.
LG ABSENT: He went to the bog during this one.
IZ RITE: Gem tune. Solid rock ’n’ roll with great guitars.
LG: “Come on! What a tune.”
I’M JUST SAYING: A bit of early Oasis flavour. Upbeat summer banger of a track...
LG: “Have a go on that!”
DON’T BROTHER ME: The song everyone was waiting for, about NOEL GALLAGHER. The lyrics tell the story: “I know I’m a man, I’ll do what I can/Sick of your scheming and lying/ I’m always in the sun with your number one/ You know I’m a man, I’ll do what I can/ Give peace a chance, take my hand/Be a man. All or nothing/ I’ll keep pushing. In the morning, I’ll keep calling/And hope you understand.” The outro is a psychedelic massage of the senses.
LG: “Have it! Tune!”
SHINE A LIGHT: Great drums and rhythm section. Flavour of ROLLING STONES and KINKS.
LG ABSENT: In bog again.
BALLROOM FIGURED: More down-tempo, acoustic ballad. Impressive and delicate, a gentle touch.
LG: “F***ing tune!”
START ANEW: Vulnerability about it. “Got the whole world in our hands/ Come on take a chance and start anew.”
Liam had the last word in a short speech about the album artwork.
LG: “Top nipple. Thanks for turning up and having a listen, man.”

The lyrics tell the story: “I know I’m a man, I’ll do what I can/Sick of your scheming and lying/ I’m always in the sun with your number one/ You know I’m a man, I’ll do what I can/ Give peace a chance, take my hand/Be a man. All or nothing/ I’ll keep pushing. In the morning, I’ll keep calling/And hope you understand.” The outro is a psychedelic massage of the senses.
LG: “Have it! Tune!”
SHINE A LIGHT: Great drums and rhythm section. Flavour of ROLLING STONES and KINKS.
LG ABSENT: In bog again.
BALLROOM FIGURED: More down-tempo, acoustic ballad. Impressive and delicate, a gentle touch.
LG: “F***ing tune!”
START ANEW: Vulnerability about it. “Got the whole world in our hands/ Come on take a chance and start anew.”
Liam had the last word in a short speech about the album artwork.
LG: “Top nipple. Thanks for turning up and having a listen, man.”

Thank God for Liam Gallagher. Necking shots of tequila at £17 a pop, he has returned just in time to rescue rock 'n’ roll.
The BRIT Awards was a tamer affair than a Suri Cruise tea party but no-one manages to ’ave it larger than the legendary Beady Eye frontman.
And I know, because I got to join Liam at the launch of his band’s second album BE at London’s Soho Hotel.
The booze flowed from the moment Liam walked into the bar before the record was played to a handful of invited journalists.
Glass of vodka and tonic in hand, Liam leaned against the bar oozing rock-star vibes with his John Lennon-style sunglasses.
Yes, most would look plonkers wearing shades inside but somehow he got away with it.
“I’m here to make you feel cool – I’m not here for me,” announced Liam, 40. “I could do other sh**. I do it also ’cos I like the music. If I wanna do something I’m gonna go and do it. I’ll do what I do regardless.”
With guitarists Gem Archer, 46 and Andy Bell, 42, and drummer Chris Sharrock, 48, milling around, all eyes were still on Liam – even when the album was being played in the darkened room, as we munched on popcorn.
Liam – the naughty lad in the back row of course – danced along to every song and yelled: “Tune!” when each finished.
Proper grooves and smooth vocals rang out on Soul Love, retro rhythms on Iz Rite and the softer side of Liam on Start Anew.
But all ears were on Don’t Brother Me, which includes the lyrics: “Give peace a chance”.
It has had the industry whispering it’s an apology to estranged brother Noel, following Oasis’s split.
“It’s not an olive branch,” snarled Liam when we returned to more drinking, post playback. “If I wanted to say sorry to Noel for something I didn’t do I’d ring him up.
“This is a better night than Our Kid would give you, isn’t it? I bet he offered you a polite glass of wine and that was that, like a slug.”
I have to admit I’ve never hung out in a hotel gym with Noel.
That was where our chat continued, as Liam wanted somewhere less hectic to talk.
As he sat on a press-up bench, he called for tequila and a man with a deep wallet headed to the bar.
Liam declared: “No-one has more fun than me, I’m a rock ’n’ roll star.
“I met Harry Styles when we played the Olympics – and while I like One Direction, Harry Styles isn’t having more fun than me, and won’t ever. He was glad to meet me.”
Liam formed Beady Eye in 2009 the day after Oasis split, even though he had more than enough money to take a break.
“I do it ’cos I’m addicted to it and I can’t get out of it man,” he admitted. “That’s what I’m born to do. I do it ’cos I wanna do it.
“I don’t do it for you and I don’t do it to be Ozzy Osbourne. I do it because I do it. And even if I wasn’t cooking I’d still do it. I’d still be cool even if I wasn’t in a band, I wouldn’t lose out on anything because I’ve been in a band – and a good band. It’s not about being No 1.
"I’ve still got enough f***ing chickens in my egg to still go with the flow.”
With the tequila racked up, Liam confided that while he’s not a great fan of The X Factor, Beady Eye will be involved in the 10th series.
His management company Quest have taken on the contract of looking after artists from the show such as last year’s winner James Arthur.
He said: “We’re doing X Factor; we’re in talks to perform on it.
“I don’t care what people say when they complain that rock is dead, you have to take the opportunity to play to a huge audience.
“But I don’t sit around listening to new music and I don’t care about the Rolling Stones at Glastonbury because I’m not in the Stones.”
The honesty spills out of Liam – and love or hate him, you can’t deny he’s entertaining.
He then downed three tequilas in a row and went outside for air and a ciggie to level out.
When he returned, Liam requested another vodka and tonic which he proceeded to pour into my wine glass as he thought I was being “a square” and needed to become “a circle”.
“I’m not a songwriter, I’m a part-time songwriter,” he announced. “I’m a rock star.”
And one of the best I’ve enjoyed the company of in years.
BE is out on Monday, June 10.

Noel Gallagher
Oasis
One Direction
The former Oasis frontman claimed today's popstars aren't a patch on him as he made the X Factor revelation at band's new album playback party.
Liam Gallagher claims his band are to appear on The X Factor – the show he branded “annoying”.
The ex-Oasis frontman told us: “We’re doing X Factor, I think it’s to be on one of the live shows. I don’t care man, we’re rock ’n’ roll stars and you can’t argue that’s a huge audience. You have to take that opportunity.”
Not if you’re his brother, Noel, who recently turned down a judging slot and said: “I just don’t want to be on the telly every Saturday night. I would just end up saying to Louis Walsh, ‘Will you shut up.’”
Liam made the revelation at the new album playback party for Beady Eye on Thursday at London’s Soho Hotel. He also described The X Factor as “f***ing boring”.
Afterwards, he was keen to show us he still lived a hedonist’s lifestyle as he ordered £17-a-shot tequilas for us all to knock back.
But, he lamented, today’s popstars just aren’t a patch on him.
“That One Direction,” he said. “I mean, they’re not rock stars are they? Harry’s all right though. I met him the Olympics and I just said to him, ‘Keep on keeping on’. But he’s nothing like me. I’m a proper rock ’n’ roll star.” Yep, no doubting that.
We asked him if a song from the album Don’t Brother Me was a nod to Noel with the lyrics “Come on now, give peace a chance, be a man.” Liam was quick to correct us.
He said: “It’s not an olive branch. I’m not a songwriter, I just bash out the music, you can’t be reading into all these lyrics as they don’t mean anything. If I wanna say sorry to someone, I’ll pick up the phone and call them. It’s not me saying sorry to Noel.”
Wonder if he’ll be tuning in when you’re on the show?

Teaming up with producer Dave Sitek for the record, the band recently explained they've discovered a "newfound focus" that allowed them to get "our s**t together", adding: "It feels like a really special record for us."
Ahead of the record's release on June 10, Digital Spy teamed up with Music Unlimited to find out more about the LP, their plans to compete with Beyoncé at this year's V Festival, and who would play them in Beady Eye: The Movie.

Oasis
Liam Gallagher is loving life in Beady Eye, telling MTV News UK that “there’s no Hitler” in the band he formed after Oasis split.
With Beady Eye gearing up to release their second album BE, Liam is enjoying it more because everyone is “drinking from the same cup” and said he shouldn’t be blamed by Oasis fans for his brother Noel leaving the legendary group.
Speaking after the album’s playback, Liam told us track nine Don’t Brother Me – which features the lyrics “give us a chance, take my hand, be a man” and “in the morning I’ll be calling and hoping you’ll understand” – isn’t an apology to Noel.
“I’ve got nothing to apologise for,” said Liam without hesitation when we asked him about the song.
“Our relationship is still touchy, but if I wanted to say sorry to Noel for something that I’ve done apparently wrong I’d ring him, I wouldn’t write a f**king song. It’s not an olive branch."
He continued: “I’m not the bad person in this – Noel has done the f**king mad flip and he’s got a whole new weird band. The only person that’s left our hemisphere is Noel.
“I’ve still got the same rock and roll crew, all the roadies are still with us. Noel has washed his hands with it, which is fine but don’t f**king come back and moan about it when it doesn’t suit your f**king wig.”
So will Liam be sending a copy of BE to Noel?
“He needs to buy it, the motherf**ker. I don’t care what he thinks but I hope he enjoys it because we’re not making reggae music, it’s another form of Oasis but he doesn’t want to be part of it. Noel’s playing hard to get.
“I’m f**king loving it in Beady Eye – I’m not missing anything from Oasis. We’re drinking from the same cup and there’s no Hitler.”
During the playback at London’s Soho Hotel, Liam was on top form – shouting “f**king tune” after belters Face the Crowd and I’m Just Saying, dancing to single Second Bite of the Apple and making everyone laugh by describing the topless woman on the front cover of the album as “top nipple”.
Gallagher added: “Success to me is putting it out – f**k buying the album, you want people to get it. Money is a vulgar word and I’ve done chart positions.
"It’s not about being No.1, I don’t mind if it goes in at No.40 It blows my mind and we’re cracking on.”

Lionel Richie
Liam Gallagher loves Lionel Richie's 'Hello' so much, he would choose the track to take with him on a desert island.
Liam Gallagher could listen to 'Hello' by Lionel Richie on repeat.
The 'Flick of the Finger' singer said if he was stuck on desert island with only one record he'd choose the smooth R&B vocalist's classic 1984 single, particularly for its irony towards the imaginary scenario.
Speaking to Music Unlimited, the music streaming service from Sony Entertainment Network, Liam said: "Lionel Richie, is it me you're looking for? 'Hello' Do you not get it?"
While he may like easy listening at home, Liam's band Beady Eye's latest album, 'BE' is anything but, after the introduction of experimental producer Dave Sitek.
The 40-year-old rocker credits the musician for helping the band break boundaries and exploring unseen places.
Liam added: "Dave got involved and it all went a bit cosmic, we got that s**t in us and he sorta just championed it. He's a good producer; a good producer for me is someone that doesn't just soft talk the band and tell them what they want to hear.
"We're the musicians, we make the records and there's certain places we can't go, and he went there."

Daft Punk
John Lennon
Liam Gallagher
The Who
Daft Punk have sold half a million copies of No1 single Get Lucky in the UK but there’s one man who’s not convinced – Liam Gallagher.
The French stars won’t be featuring alongside The Who and John Lennon in his record collection. Liam said: “I’d write that in a f***ing hour. I don’t know what the fuss is about, you know what I mean? It’s like f**k off, give me a f**king break.” Speaking to Sony’s MU streaming service he added: “I am not going to have people wear disguises.
“Take your f**king helmet off. Let’s see what you look like sans helmet, whatever you’re called.”
If the dance duo swapped the leather jackets for parka coats he might think differently.
Liam will need to avoid the radio for a few months yet, as Daft Punk have confirmed plans to release even more new material. The pair, heading to No1 with album Random Access Memories this Sunday, say they are already remixing the songs.
Thomas Bangalter from the group said: “We’re working on some mixes ourselves, so yes, there will probably be Daft Punk mixes of Daft Punk. The first track we’re remixing is Get Lucky. That will be out by the end of June.”
Don’t be surprised if the remix has a decent run in the charts too.

The theme of this year's World MS Day is young people with MS.
Taking place on May 29, this is a key annual event that raises awareness and funds for vital services.
MS is usually diagnosed between the ages of 24 and 31.
It is is a life-long condition but is not terminal, and does not follow any particular pattern or set stages.
Most people live active and fulfiling lives despite the physical and emotional challenges. It is unique to the individual, and more than 8,000 people in Ireland live with MS.
MS Ireland will host a celebrity auction online at ms-society.ie and the public can bid for signed and framed images of artists, sports personalities and actors such as The Script, Imelda May, Brain O'Driscoll, Noel Gallagher, Primal Scream, Kodaline, Def Leppard, Damien Dempsey and Katie Taylor.
