Liam Gallagher To Replace Noel With Ted

Liam Gallagher is planning to replace his estranged brother Noel with a teddy bear from the foul-mouthed toy from comedy film 'Ted'.

Liam Gallagher is planning to replace his brother with a teddy bear.

The Beady Eye frontman has a continuing feud with his ex-Oasis bandmate and sibling, Noel, and wants to take a swearing toy bear - based on the titular character from the film 'Ted' - on tour in his place.

He told NME magazine: ''I've actually got Ted the teddy bear, there's only been a few of them made.

''It's mega, you press his hand and he tells everyone to f**k off. I'm going to get it in a flight case and bring it on tour with me. I'll take it on TV shows and say, 'Here's me new brother.' ''

Liam continued to accuse his 46-year-old sibling - who now records as Noel Gallgher's High Flying Birds - of losing his rock 'n' roll credibility.

He said: ''He's a civilised kind of chap. He doesn't want to know about the rock 'n' roll stuff anymore.

''I like Noel outside the band. Human Noel - that's my brother - I f***ing adore him and I'd do anything for him. But the geezer that's in this [music] business, he's one of the biggest c**ks in the universe.''

The 40-year-old musician also feels Noel is intimidated by him when they see each other at Manchester City soccer matches.

He added: ''He s***s it. He drops his arse. He's a mouthy **** but when I walk in the room the cat's got his tongue.''

Many Oasis fans hold out hopes of a reunion, but Liam is adamant Beady Eye - who release their second album, 'BE' on Monday (10.06.13) - are not going to quit.

He ranted: ''I have a feeling people are just going, 'F**k Beady Eye, we want Oasis back.' I feel sometimes people are boycotting Beady Eye because the quicker I get the needle with it, the sooner I'll be going round, knocking on Noel's door. They've got it all wrong.''

Liam Gallagher Details Fight With Idris Elba At NME Awards

Only Liam Gallagher and his barber are allowed near his hair – anyone else and it’s going to end badly.

The Beady Eye frontman says that’s what caused the bust-up with Idris Elba at this year’s NME awards.

Talking about it for the first time, Liam said: “I didn’t steal Idris’s hat, or grab it.

“I don’t go grabbing anyone. He messed my f***ing hair up, so I pulled his hat off and booted it across the room, and that’s it.”

When asked if he was intimidated by Idris’s considerable bulk, Liam added: “I don’t give a f***. I didn’t know who he was.

“I still don’t know who he is and I don’t give a f*** who he is.

“You don’t touch a man’s haircut, man, especially if you’ve got a red bobbly hat on. So let’s get that one straight. He f***ed my hair up — so the hat got it.”

Liam added that Idris’s headgear reminded him of the daft woolly hat-wearing ITV soap character Benny Hawkins and said: “It’s not f***ing Crossroads, is it?”

Liam can’t really talk about other people’s clobber when he wears leopard-print loafers.

He was asked about the scrap by Absolute Radio before performing tracks from Beady Eye’s new album B.E. at London’s Abbey Road studios on Monday. The band then performed their cover of The Beatles’ Cry Baby Cry.

Their next gig is an in-store show at London’s Rough Trade East shop on Monday to launch the album.

You can hear the gig on Pete Donaldson's Absolute evening show on Thursday from 9pm.

Liam Gallagher Brands Roberto Mancini's Sacking 'Insane'

The Beady Eye musician expressed his sadness at the dismissal in light of his past triumphs, including a first ever Premier League title, but conceded he was not surprised

Manchester City fan Liam Gallagher has branded the decision to sack manager Roberto Mancini as "insane".

The former Oasis and current Beady Eye star had been a strong advocate of City keeping the Italian despite watching the club relinquish the Premier League title to rivals Manchester United before being beaten by Wigan in the FA Cup final.

Mancini was sacked 48 hours after their Wembley loss, a year to the day after securing a first title in 44 years, with Manuel Pellegrini revealing he is due to hold talks with the Etihad Stadium outfit about succeeding the Italian - and Gallagher expressed his sadness at the former Inter manager's dismissal.

"I am [sad to see him go]," Gallagher told Absolute Radio. "He won us the league for the first time in 40 years, got us the FA cup, got us in Europe loads of times, that’s just how it is these days, isn’t it?

"This time last year, we were champions and now the guy’s been sacked.

"It’s just insane, man, the world’s gone mad. But that’s what happens if you don’t keep on top of your s***."

Listen to Beady Eye's interview in full on Absolute Radio on Thursday from 9pm.

Beady Eye To Play A Tiny Instore Gig In London Next Week

Beady Eye have announced that they will play a tiny instore gig at London's Rough Trade East.

The band will take to the stage at the east London record shop at 7pm on June 10. Wristbands will be available on the day for fans who pick up a copy of the band's new album 'BE' in store on a one-per-purchase basis. Any remaining wristbands will be given out an hour prior to stage time.

Beady Eye release 'BE', their follow-up to 2011's 'Different Gear, Still Speeding', on the day of the instore gig. The album was produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, whom frontman Liam Gallagher recently declared "the bollocks".

In a recent interview Gallagher delivered a message to diehard Oasis fans planning to boycott the album. He said: "We've made a great rock and roll album but sometimes I feel there's a lot of people just fucking boycotting what Beady Eye do just for some stupid fucking reason. 'We'll boycott that shit no matter what they do because it ain't Oasis and we want Oasis' and all that kind of thing. Well fuck you! We've experimented or whatever it is, what more do you fucking want?"

Beady Eye will play live at Manchester Ritz on June 19 before heading to London for a show at Camden Centre on June 20. The short stint will then come to a close in Glasgow at the ABC on June 22. The band have lined up festival slots at V Festival, Benicassim and T In The Park this summer.

Yet Another Review Of Beady Eye's Album 'BE'

In the lead up to this release, Beady Eye’s Liam Gallagher made yet another bold claim.

BE, he said, was the album Oasis should’ve made after (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.

But for once, there’s a little truth behind the bravado.

That’s because on BE, Beady Eye (aka Oasis without the elder Gallagher) does something Oasis never really did – experiment.

To expand their horizons for the follow up to 2011′s Different Gear, Still Speeding, Beady Eye teamed up with TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek. He proves to be an inspired choice.

Of all the tracks here, it’s “Flick Of The Finger” that best showcases Beady Eye Mk II.

The album opener is an optimistic call to arms and hopefully a signpost of things to come. It features an aggressive horn section, eerie synths and the key lyric, “the future gets written today”.

Further along, the Liam-penned “Don’t Brother Me” could’ve been an olive branch to Noel if it weren’t for a few snarky one-liners.

“Always in the sun, with your number one,” Liam snarls before adding, “sick of all your lying, scheming and your crying”.

But later he seems keen to bury the hatchet. “In the morning, I’ll be calling and hoping you’ll understand,” Gallagher croons until a spacey lengthy instrumental outro.

Other highlights include the bluesy, slow-burner “Soon Come Tomorrow”, closing ballad “Start Anew”, and “Soul Love”, a dark, atmospheric song Oasis would’ve never recorded in their pomp.

Still, the album is let down down by a few clunkers.

Forgettable rocker “Face The Crowd” is all swagger and no substance while the campfire strummer “Ballroom Figured” is more b-side material than anything else.

Regardless, BE is imbued with a sense of discovery and adventure, something recent Gallagher releases have sorely missed.
