Liam Gallagher
Liam Gallagher has spoken to to the current issue of Clash Magazine on what his initial ideas for Beady Eye's second album 'BE' would be?
The front man said "We demoed all the songs that are on this album, and they were good; we could have gone in and made it like that and it would have been stuck in that '60s kinda rut - but I like that kind of thing. So it would have still been good, but I guess it would have been 'Different Gear, Still Speeding Part Two', you know what I mean? We're always up for a bit of change - we're always up for doing something different - but until it's in front of your face and your ears, it's hard to tell what you want to do. So with [previous producer] Dave Sardy, Scott, our new manager, he said, 'Look, you don't want to go in with the normal producer, you've got to go with someone who's a little bit out of your comfort zone'. I went, 'Cool. Let's fuckin' check it out'.
Speaking about the first time he met the producer of the album Liam said "The first day I met Dave Sitek was in the studio. I liked abit of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - I've never really heard much about his band [TVOTR] - and then he just started fuckin' playing us what he'd done to [the demo of] 'Flick Of The Finger'. I thought, 'Fuckin' yes' - it had a dark and menacing edge to it that we didn't have. And then when he got 'Soul Love' out, he'd started putting all these atmospherics on it and cosmic fuckin' shit - ambient stuff that we wouldn't normally do. So that's when we thought, Yeah, this is it, man".'

Questioned were you restricted with what you could do musically in Oasis? Since you've been Beady Eye, is there more room to experiment?
Andy Bell said "Yeah. I guess it's all in our hands; it's a smaller concern and it's not so important what we do in the big picture of life and the universe, so we're allowed to just do what we want and are just getting on with having fun with it in our little corner of the world. It doesn't really feel like the world of music is waiting to hear it so we're just kind of getting on with it, and then maybe it will catch fire".

Beady Eye interview excerpt from Clash Magazine.
Clash Magazine: How do you define what a Beady Eye song is?
Liam: A Beady Eye song has got to have attitude, it's got to have a great melody, great chords - you've got to be able to play it on acoustic, you know what I mean? That's how I measure a good song: if vou can fuckin' sit there and strum it on the acoustic guitar in your house to your dogs and it still sounds good, then that's the sound of a good song. Then once you put all the other shit on it, then obviously it gets better, I guess.
Andy: At the beginning of the demo session we were like, 'Let's direct ourselves at a cross between [George Harrison's] 'Wonderwall Music' soundtrack and 'All Things Must Pass'. We had a sort of orchestral Simon And Garfunkel epicness.
Gem: Yeah, Liam was banging on about Simon and Garfunkel a lot, but what we actually wanted from the lyrics and the melodies was just real strong songs, man. Emotion, directness, vulnerability, hope, broken hearts, paranoia; the usual kind of adult emotions that you pick up.
Andy: With the first album we would have been saying, 'Right, we need rock 'n' roll. It needs to be lairy, lean and mean. We don't want to have any indulgent bits on it - not too many guitar solos - we just want it to be arranged to play the fuck out of live'. So that was the message there. The message now was more like a bit of headspace. Dave saw that in the tunes and he brought a whole lot of ambience to it as well that we wouldn't have got near without him. Dave added the ambience, the chaos, the invention, the questioning - we questioned every tune on the day. We came out with an amazing record that at times is space rock, other times is ambient, at times it is like Hawkwind, and at other times it's like Oasis or Beady Eye's first album; it kind of runs through the whole spectrum.

Beady Eye's Gem Archer and Andy bell have spoken about the mindset between going into your second album from their debut Different Gear, Still Speeding that was released in 2011.
Gem Archer told Clash Magazine "With [the debut] we wanted to play some rock 'n' roll and it was just about getting moving after the band had split - if we'd have left it too long we would have probably got the fear. Now this one sounds like our considered opinion.
Andy Bell said "We were just frantic coming out of Oasis and we just wanted to get moving, and we had a bunch of tunes that we were already ready to do and wanted to build a live set, because we didn't want to do Oasis tunes straight away - we wanted to be Beady Eye and start off and make that an entity of its own. So making the album, you hear it: you can feel that franticness in it, you can feel the fact we are almost reeling a little bit. But these are not necessarily bad things, you know?"

Beady Eye launched their second album 'BE' with an intimate record store show in London yesterday (June 10).
Liam Gallagher's band performed at the Rough Trade East store in front of around 150 lucky fans who had queued for wristbands, playing highlights from the Dave Sitek-produced record, as well as a cover of The Beatles' 'Cry Baby Cry'.
Dressed all in black and wearing sunglasses that covered most of his face, Gallagher cut an understated figure during the acoustic performance, bolstered occasionally by pre-recorded backing tracks from Sitek. As the band started the 45-minute set just after 7pm, he said simply: "This is tiny, innit?" At the end he thanked fans for buying the record: "Nice one for coming and if you bought the record… nice one.
Beady Eye played:
'Second Bite Of The Apple'
'Soul Love'
'Iz Rite'
'Soon Come Tomorrow'
'Start Anew'
'I'm Just Saying’
'Don't Brother Me'
'Cry Baby Cry'
'Ballroom Figured'
'Shine A Light'
'Flick Of The Finger'
It’s a big week for the east London record store, as tonight (June 11) sees Queens Of The Stone Age play an instore of their own, to promote their Number Two album '…Like Clockwork' ahead of their performance at Download this weekend.
Next up, Beady Eye will play Manchester Ritz on June 19 before heading to London for a show at Camden Centre on June 20. The short stint will come to a close in Glasgow at the ABC on June 22. The band have also lined up summer festival slots at V Festival, Benicassim and T In The Park.

Below is the trailer for a movie based on founding Oasis member Giugsy and Paolo Hewitt's book best selling book.
He is responsible for one of the greatest photographs in English football history, and now The Robin Friday Story is set to be made into a film.
Based on the eponymous book written by former Oasis bass player Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan and Paolo Hewitt, Friday was a Reading and Cardiff City striker in the 70s whose boozing, smoking, womanising and drug-taking contributed to his tragically young death at the age of 38.
Despite his short life, the film should make for an entertaining biography of one of English football's most memorable mavericks. Friday was also immortalised on the Super Furry Animals' album sleeve The Man Don't Give A F**k.
Although football has traditionally struggled on the big screen, the relative success of 2009's The Damned United and the 2006 documentary Once in a Lifetime suggests the 70s appears to be an auspicious era for depicting the beautiful game on film.
The movie is released later this year.

Oasis
With the new Beady Eye album BE dropping last Friday, talk has inevitably turned to one thing: an Oasis reunion.
Despite Liam Gallagher stirring the pot by telling NME that he would like to “bury the hatchet” with his brother Noel, former Oasis bassist and current Beady Eye guitarist Andy Bell has told FL the chance of the Brit-pop legends reforming is slim to nout.
Speaking with FL’s Michael Hartt, Bell said that while he would like to see his former band get back together, the Gallagher brothers’ tumultuous relationship meant the proposition was highly unlikely. “I’ve got no problem doing it at all. If the Oasis thing came up, I’d be there like a shot,” Bell revealed. “But it’s something that relies on Noel and Liam. I don’t know if it’s likely to happen in this millennium really.”
Bell went on to say that he has no problem with the constant reunion rumours, especially given he still gets asked whether his other former band – ‘90s shoegazers Ride – will ever get back together. “All it really says to me is that people still care about Oasis in the same way that I do occasionally get asked about Ride as well; about whether we’ll reunite” he explained. “To me, I kind of put it in the same category as things I would like to happen.”
While the guitarist has previously ruled out a Ride reunion, Bell told FL that his take on that possibility has softened. “Ride is more like something that’s on the back-burner where all of us have said ‘Yeah, that’d be really nice to do one day’ but we’re all really busy. We’ve all got lots of things going on; music and other things. It’s something that I don’t wanna leave forever,” he teased. “I think what it is right now is I’ve got unfinished business to work out with Beady Eye and we have to get to a certain point before I’d consider taking a bit of time off from it.”
We may not be seeing an Oasis or Ride tour anytime soon, but Bell assured FL that Beady Eye is a lock to play Australia some time soon, having skipped a trip Down Under when they released their debut Different Gear, Still Speeding in 2011. “We’re definitely going to Australia this time, I keep hearing conversations about it,” he said. “We wanted to last time as well but we didn’t. This time we definitely are.”
The full interview with Andy Bell – in which he talks about playing the Olympics closing ceremony (“It was like Liberace’s acid trip”), exploring a more “psychy” sound on BE and working with Dave Sitek – will published on FL later this week.
