Beady Eye
Liam Gallagher
Liam Gallagher has spoken to Mojo about covering 'Sons Of The Stage' track 'World Of Twist' with Beady Eye.
He said "Ah man, that's f**king rocking. It was the first song we did actaully. Our DJ Phil Smith used to play it before we came on at some of our gigs. So we rehearsed that one one, then we did 'We Love You' by the Stones, but we thought, F**k it, this one is more obscure. I saw them at the Ritz in Manchester. They were a top band. They were Pulp before pulp were pop.

Beady Eye
Taken from the Japanese music magazine Rokin' On.
This is a rough translation from the album review, the original can be found here.
Four Letter Word
"Four-letter word" has sharp hard edge riffs. Aggression like the Pistols, Sharp like Led Zeppelin, a kick ass tune to match anything done by Oasis, It is a powerful opening track. Lively guitar solo interlude by Gem.
Millionaire
A light psychedelic acoustic number. Like the Beach Boys on acid, or John Lennon when high. Liam vocals and the slide guitar a smooth. A cute little charming song.
The Roller
This is the official first single. Originally written during the Oasis' Heathen Chemistry session. The tone is reminiscent of "All You Need is Love" with shades of "Half the World Away". The chorus melody sounds like something McMartney would write. In the video, Gem plays the piano. The band really loves the tune.
Beatles and Stones
Is just what you would think from the title, and the guitar sound like a rhythm Haneru Who ŽvIkkiri. Bti is Mesa's rock and roll, rock Yaritee! The lyrics are about the yearning to rock and roll and it's a little cliche, This song is simpler rock'n roll like "Bring the Light", but they are stimulating. Liam and the boys are searching for the answer of "what is rock'n roll?" and are well on the road.
Wind Up Dream
A Dark bluesy-rock feels a bit like Neil Young. Different from the more uplifting melodies running through the rest of the album. There is an intertwining guitar and vocal solo, that never happened in Oasis .
Bring The Light
A quick, familiar, and memorable Beady Eye tune. Like a Jerry Lee Lewis-style boogie piano, or 70's Stones. It's simple, straightforward rock and roll but obviously, "Not Oasis". This track shows Beady Eye's pride and fighting spirit. They are saying "Let the gear change, it'll still rock and roll," C'mon baby!
For Anyone
Inspirational pop melody reminiscent of "Songbird." It's a gentle tune with some atmosphere. Aspects drawn from the Beatles, in a good way. Pretty impressive. It has 60s pop style rhythm, with fairly cliched love song lyrics.
Kill For A Dream
Like "Champagne Supernova" it's also likely to please the fans, a super ballad masterpiece! The "Na na na" chorus reminds you of "Hey Jude". This song sounds the most "like Oasis" of anything on the album.
Standing On The Edge Of The Noise
Glam rock explosion. Like "Bring the Light" but much harder. Liam's roughest vocals on the album. A combination of "Drive My Car" and "Get Back". So basically like mid-late Beatles.
Wigwam
The strings can hear sound and groove, psychedelic and modern rock. The "Sha La La" chorus makes "All Around the World" sound like a pipe dream. It feels like the climax/finale of the album. Liam sings in falsetto, Liam sounds like he did when he was young.
The Ring Circus
Sounds like John Lennon rock 'n roll with some heavy blues-rock atmosphere. There are points in the chorus where the vocals are somewhat reminiscent of Oasis. Sounds like it would have fit onto Oasis next album, had there been one. Sounds like where Oasis were going?
The Beat Goes On
Like a John Lennon ballad then Liam pauses for a bit then there is a dramatic explosion of sound into something that is reminiscent of a medley of tunes from Abbey Road and For Anyone. A sweet and gentle vocal.
The Morning Son
Starts acoustically and then dramatically expands when the drums come in into an epic tune, worthy of being on the album. There are reverse guitar and strings to boost the sound. May remind some of "Whatever"

Beady Eye
Elvis Presley
Gem Archer
Liam Gallagher
Rolling Stones
Gem Archer has told Mojo that there is a bit of Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley in the new Beady Eye album ‘Different Gear, Still Speeding’ that's released on February 28th on the band's own record label.
The guitarist said" "We rehearsed it, we had it almost like a set, so we could put a lot of these songs down live. The word 'psychedelia' has been used. I always say that is a very large word, almost meaningless to some people. So I would just say 'colourful'. There's a bit of Brian Jones-era Stones, a bit of Elvis. When I say the psychedelia thing, I'd compare it to when The Kinks were slightly psychedelic. Most of it's stripped down in a kind of kitchen-sink way, and almost always trying to keep a light on it's feet., like a debut album should be. I still remember the term 'jukebox classic', tunes you'd stick on in the pub.
Also speaking to Mojo about Beady Eye's debut album, was front man Liam Gallagher who said "It's not soppy ballardy shit. They're some good ballsy tunes. I mean, a couple of tunes are just a bit slower than the rest, but they've got a bit of balls. It's 90 per cent rocking. If Oasis were black and white this is proper, proper Technicolour."

Beady Eye
Liam Gallagher
Noel Gallagher
Liam Gallagher has said that working without brother Noel in his new band Beady Eye is a different experience all together.
The frontman told Mojo " We had the little fella who was taking charge, doing his thing and I think he just hogged it a bit. Now it's totally different.
When asked if it was liberating the singer said " I don't know man, Nah, because I loved being in Oasis. Oasis was free too. But it had obviously got stuck in a rut, or it was moving that kind of way, and people don't like change. It's just nice being behind a microphone, being involved in music. I guess I just have more energy then our kid. He's grown up. The guy's writing songs for fifty year olds. It's about having fun isn't it? F**king young people these days want to be old people. Sat listening to Bob Dylan and shit, thinking too much. It's about getting a sweat on, that's what it's about."
When asked how the last days of Oasis were, the singer said " After some gigs there was no vibe, in the dressing room, and that it was like, f**king hell here we go again, f**king nobody speaking. I mean, when me and the lads were together we'd have great time but then when the other one came in... f**king hell, it was like someone had been shot. And that ain't fun. So this time we can have a laugh."
