What The NME Say About The Beady Eye Album

No comments



















The record is comfortingly familiar and yet frequently surprising. The production on it is far rawer and sparser then Oasis, mainly due to the fact that much of it was recorded in seven weeks.

Some of the songs were originally destined for a a future Oasis record, but others are far more recent.

Many of the old touchstones remain, like for example the Lennon-esque piano hook that nailed-on to single 'The Roller' is built around, or the fondness of big anthems like 'Kill For A Dream' and 'The Beat Goes On'.

But those moments are tempered with the stack-heeled glam-metal of 'Standing On The Edge Of The Noise' the lean 12-bar blues of 'Beatles And Stones' and the six-minute psychedelic lucid dream of 'Wigwam' whose opiated wooziness and wisful "sha-la-la-la-la" chorus amounts to the finest song Liam has ever written.

1 comment










Liam Gallagher has said that he thought the recent student riots in London made for great television.

In an interview with the NME, Liam said "I loved it man, fucking loved it. I'm into the violent side of it, I thought it made for great TV. I still think they should get a Fucking job, though".

"I'd have loved to have gone to college and all that when I was that age, but we couldn't afford it, you know. Some of us had to go and dig holes on the site with fucking Murphy and Mick".

"But I'm into people showing their true emotions and getting f**king wound up about things. It's better then being dead ain't it?".

Liam Gallagher: 'Beady Eye's Album Is Better Than 'Definitely Maybe''

1 comment














Liam Gallagher has told NME that he thinks Beady Eye's debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' contains songs "as good as 'Definitely Maybe', if not better".

The singer was speaking in a world-exclusive interview in this week's Christmas issue of NME, on UK newsstands tomorrow (December 15) and available digitally worldwide.

He declared the album, out February 28, a "fucking top debut".

Gallagher said: "The musicians are better [than Oasis circa-'Definitely Maybe'], without a doubt. I'm singing as well as I ever have." He added that the album is "up there, no question" with 'Definitely Maybe' and added that "we're gonna be fucking massive".

Elsewhere in the interview Gallagher gave his views on new bands including The Vaccines and Brother. He branded the former "boring" and accused Brother of being "little fucking posh lads with tattoos".

Liam also spoke about his relationship with Noel Gallagher following Oasis' split in August 2009.

Read the full interview in this week's issue of NME.
