Another Gallery: Beady Eye In Manchester

Beady Eye are back, and Liam Gallagher is on the best form he's been since his Oasis days, with second album BE picking up (mostly) positive reviews in the press.

Following a week of unlikely promotional duties for the band (gigs in record stores, album signings and performances on The Voice UK), Gallagher and co kicked off their short UK tour last night at The Ritz in Manchester, the city where Oasis first took root way back in the nineties.

In typical Gallagher, the set was heavy on tunes and light on conversation, with the frontman breaking his between-song silence rarely, thanking fans for singing along towards the end of the show. "You've been in good voice. Nice one for coming out, thanks," he said as the show came to a close. Gallagher also paid tribute to his Britpop roots, dropping 'Rock N Roll Star' and '(What's The Story) Morning Glory' into the show.

Check out 11 stunning shots of the show our photographer described as 'a dark, sweaty, beer drenched affair', here.

Liam Gallagher Is Beady Eye-ing Up Oasis Tracks For Tour

Liam Gallagher is ready to dip into the Oasis back catalogue of “Nineties’ sh*t” for his Beady Eye tour.

The band have only ever played live two tracks written by Liam’s brother Noel – Morning Glory and Rock ’n’ Roll Star.

But talking about the Oasis songs – and using them on their tour which kicked off in Manchester yesterday – guitarist Gem Archer said: “They’re always there and we know that we can use them.

“I’m sure a lot of fans would want to hear them. Hung In A Bad Place would be a good one live, as would The Meaning Of Soul.

“There’s even stuff like Liam’s Boy With The Blues that Oasis never played live which I think would work.”

Liam had previously sneered: “People shouldn’t be coming to hear Oasis songs. They should be coming to hear Beady Eye. There’ll be nights when we’ll go, ‘Look, you don’t deserve it so you’re not getting any of that Nineties sh*t’.”

Audio: Beady Eye Play Songbird And More

Liam Gallagher is plagued by ghoulish stalkers who leave shrines on his doorstep as if he’s already dead.

The Beady Eye frontman said: “I’ve been left burning candles with pictures and wreaths and that.

“It’s weird s***. They leave pictures of John Lennon and f****** flowers and s***.”

But Liam isn’t scared enough to call in cops, adding: “You just give them a cuddle and tell them to get on their way and stop f****** about.”

He was with friends on Saturday night after performing on BBC show The Voice.

Host Holly Willoughby and husband Dan Baldwin drank with Liam and his missus Nicole Appleton at a house party – and they ended up recording a version of Oasis track Songbird.

Ex-EastEnder Tamzin Outhwaite was also at the tear-up along with Beady Eye’s Andy Bell, his wife Shiarra Bell, bandmate Gem Archer and his missus Lou.

At 2am yesterday, Andy posted a link online to their version of Songbird which you can listen to below.

The group also posted a tracklist they partied to, including Daft Punk’s Get Lucky and The White Stripes' Fell In Love With A Girl.

But they paid for the party yesterday – with Andy’s wife writing on Twitter: “Ouch.”

On This Day In Oasis History...

"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" is a song by British rock band Oasis. It was released as the second single from Heathen Chemistry on 17 June 2002, peaking at number two in the UK charts. It went silver in the UK.

The song is an "epic weepy" anthem in the spirit of "Don't Look Back in Anger", reassuringly advising that in times of hardship, simply get over it and get on with your life. Noel Gallagher explained the song saying "A friend of mine was going through a pretty bad time and I sort of wrote it with him in mind."

Noel Gallagher had great expectations for the song, saying "I hope it does for us what 'Don't Look Back In Anger' did... I didn't want it as a single because I thought we'd done all that before, but everyone's going, 'You're fucking mad.'". NME said, 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' [is where] you really start rolling out the red carpet. A return to the long lost humanism of 'Don't Look Back In Anger', it's a reminder of Noel's knack of cheering up his audience just when they need it most." Q magazine held up the song as proof that "genius never completely left Oasis".





















"Stop Crying Your Heart Out" was one of the songs played during the end credits of the movie, The Butterfly Effect, starring Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart. It has been on the TV show Smallville too. The song also appeared after England's defeats in the 2002 Football World Cup and the 2006-07 Ashes. Noel Gallagher dedicated it to the English football team before playing it at the 2004 Glastonbury Festival. The song is also featured in the film Made of Honor, Starring Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan and appears towards the end of the film.

This blog and my Oasis site was named after the song.

Beady Eye On The New Album, Demos And More

Beady Eye interview excerpt from Clash Magazine.

There were a lot of songs demoed. How many did you originally have, and what happened to them all?

Andy: Well, at the end of our demos we had twenty-one things but they weren't all songs. One of them was just sort of noises...

Gem: That was the thing that kind of hooked [Dave]. We sent him five songs and he went, 'These are really strong, have you got any more?' So we thought we should send him the lot, because you should be open. And in amongst that there was a thereemin solo and he went, 'Right, you guys' songs are really strong - do you want to go there?' We went, 'Absolutely', and he went, 'Perfect!' Because he didn't know if we were going to be precious and uptight or 'this is how it is', you know? That was it. And then we attempted to record them all in five weeks.

Andy: That was the only battle, really, being up against it with the time in the studio. Dave was trying to get the number of songs down to cut his workload down but we just wouldn't let him do it. Towards the end of every week he just kind of said, 'You know guys, over the weekend can you have a little think about the priorities?' And we would be like, 'Yup'.

Gem: Until the fourth week in and he was like, 'Can you guys make a fucking list?!' And we thought, We've only got one more weekend to put him off and we will have done the lot!'

Andy: We came out with eighteen.

Gem: 'Second Bite Of The Apple' was the last song to be recorded. Initially it was Liam going, 'Fuck it, we're doing the lot, man, because you never know.' And that's the point of working with a producer: the possibilities are there, everything is up for grabs, and you just don't know until you get your hands dirty.

Liam: It was a good song, but if we hadn't have kept at doing it, it wouldn't have turned out like that. You've got to give every song a chance, because shit can happen. You can bring it in dressed like summat, and it can come out dressed like summat else.

So it surprises you as much as it does anyone else?

Liam: Yeah. The first idea might not be the best idea - it might be your third or your fourth. And we're up for that, man, we've always been up for that. In Oasis it wasn't so much - it was pretty much: 'This is if, boom, 'That's it', and that's what we do. But with Beady Eye, the world is our oyster, man. We can do what the fuck we want, because we're all for going with the flow, you know what I mean?

Beady Eye Forced To Scale Back Party Plans After The Voice

Rock-n-roll hellraiser Liam Gallagher was forced to scale back plans for a booze-fuelled aftershow party at The Voice last night - after refusing to cough-up for a mammoth drinks order.

The former Oasis star - who performed live on the BBC1 show last night - had requested thousands of pounds worth of alcohol on a rider list for his band Beady Eye.

But he was told the only free refreshments on offer were Water and fruit.

He had ordered several bottles of Verve champagne, spirits and crates of beer from the studio bar.

But after the Champagne Supernova singer, 40, was delivered a bill by Pinewood Studios totalling around £2,000, they had to send most of the booze back.

A source said: “Liam and his management had initially ordered copious amounts of champagne and spirits for a booze session after their performance on The Voice.

"They planned a lavish party for a load of his friends and family at the studio bar.

“From his hell-raising days with Oasis, Liam is used to huge amounts of alcohol and treats being laid on during world tours.

"They’d draw up a list of want they wanted and it would all be complimentary.

“But it’s a bit different when you’re doing a gig at the BBC - they are very conscious about keeping a tight budget. The only thing free is water and fruit.

“They obviously got a bit carried away with the amount of booze they had pre-ordered and when the bill came in, they had to halve it, taking off a lot of the champagne and spirits.

“They were left with just a lot of beer.

"They’ve all been getting very hyped up about the performance so it was a bit disappointing when they realised they were going to have to fork out so much money for the booze.”

Liam performed Beady Eye’s new single Second Bit Of The Apple for the live semi-final of the BBC1 show.

Robbie Williams, 39, and Dizzee Rascal, 27, were also at the studios doing a pre-record of their single Goin’ Crazy for next week’s final.

Voice host Holly Willoughby, 32, was so looking forward to the drinking session that she tweeted the band’s guitarist Andy Bell, 42, and said: “Cant wait, lots of fun to be had! #tequila?”

Meanwhile Voice coach Will.I.Am, 38, doesn’t order a rider when he performs because he doesn’t want to waste money.

The show insider added: “Will would not be impressed with Liam Gallagher’s long rider list.

"He’s been trying to teach the artists that there’s no need to spend money on crazy elaborate requests for backstage.”
