Liam Gallagher Coughs Up £7,000 For Cosmetic Dentistry Work

We all know he was sick to the back teeth of his big brother Noel.

But what we didn’t know was Liam Gallagher’s back teeth have been pretty sick of Liam as well.

And his front ones weren’t too keen on him either.

The 38-year-old snaggletoothed Manc, who is currently promoting his new band Beady Eye, was ordered by management to get himself to a dentist – and pronto.

Several hours of heavy-duty drilling later, and the singer emerged, puffy-mouthed and dribbling slightly, with a brand-new Hollywood smile. A snip at £7,000.

I’m told: “Liam wasn’t quite at the Shane MacGowan stage but his teeth were pretty dodgy.

“Beady Eye is a big deal for Liam and he felt under pressure to look his best for his musical comeback.

“He knows his teeth have never been his strong point, so he decided now was the time to get them done. Liam had a place recommended to him, and booked in for a consultation. A few weeks later, he went for it, having his grey fillings replaced with white ones, and some veneers put in for a more even look.

“His new gnashers are a lot more American-friendly too so if Beady Eye do try and conquer the States, at least it won’t be his awful teeth they’re talking about.”

Nope, just the music, then.While the new molars aren’t quite Simon Cowell-esque, they are, as our pictures show, a marked improvement.

Of course it’s not the first time the star has had dental work.

Nine years ago, he had emergency surgery to repair his two front teeth after he was smashed in the mouth in a bar in Munich.And he’s not the first in his family to undergo cosmetic dentistry procedures.

His brother, with whom he is no longer speaking post-Oasis fall-out, has already had his pearly whites sorted.

So if they do ever meet up, they can just bare their teeth at each other. That’ll be one seriously blinding evening...

Liam Gallagher Apologises For Oasis' Paris 'Let-Down' At Beady Eye Gig

Frontman returns to city of 2009 band split.

Liam Gallagher returned to Paris tonight (March 13) to play live with Beady Eye – and apologised for his 2009 "let-down" with Oasis.

Oasis fell apart in the French capital in August 2009, cancelling a show at the Paris Rock en Seine festival then splitting.

"Sorry for letting you down last time," he said. "Hopefully we can make it up to you."

Later he dedicated 'Kill For A Dream' "to all the people in Japan," referring to the victims of the recent disasters sweeping the country.

The band played the same set they played throughout their UK jaunt – featuring songs from debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' and their cover of World Of Twist's 'Sons Of The Stage'

They are now set to play Cologne's E-Werk venue tomorrow (14).

Colonel Gaddafi Has A New Enemy – Liam Gallagher!

Colonel Gaddafi has a new enemy – Liam Gallagher! The ex-Oasis frontman sent good wishes and offered cash to Libyan rebels squatting in the home of the tyrant’s son Saif.

Protesters have taken over the £11million mansion in protest at the dictator’s hellish regime.

Liam, 38, who lives just three streets away from the Hampstead pad in north London, waded in with his own Masterplan.

An aide of the singer arrived at the house last week and told the squatters: “I’m here on behalf of a wealthy neighbour who would like to help your cause. If you need money, I’ll go and get it.”

One of the squatters said: “We asked him who this mystery man was but he wouldn’t say. Eventually he said he was from the music industry, one of the Oasis brothers.

“He then confirmed it was this man, Liam Gallagher.

“He said he wanted, ‘freedom, man, freedom’.

“We politely declined the offer but thanked him for his generosity.”

The squatters have vowed to stay holed-up in the eight-bed mansion until Gaddafi falls.

Beady Eye Australian Interview

Liam Gallagher's new band is a lot like his old band - only happy, writes Bernard Zuel.

Liam Gallagher arrives early, coming towards us with the splayed-foot, from-the-hips, laid-back-even-as-he-walks style he's made his own. Expecting surly, we are surprised by the nod and the polite, even dare we say it, cheery, ''orright?''

He takes a cup of tea alongside bandmates Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock and, while not exactly cracking a smile, keeps making dry comments that leave everyone in the room grinning.

There's no getting away from it - cocky we expect, mouthy is a given, but the Liam Gallagher before us is relaxed and happy. Maybe more so than at any time since Oasis - the band he formed and then ceded to his older brother, Noel - became the defining English band of the 1990s.

Advertisement: Story continues below ''I've never laughed so much at interviews and that's what f---ing life's about, innit?'' Liam says. ''If you can laugh your bollocks off, have a great time and you've got some great f---ing music to top it off, now you f---ing know that's heaven to me, man.''

The thing is, it shouldn't make any sense. When Noel quit and, in effect, ended Oasis two years ago, the accepted wisdom was that he would go on as a heavyweight songwriter while baby brother and the remaining members of the band, guitarist Archer, drummer Sharrock and bass player Andy Bell, would trickle away without their leader.

Although Liam, Archer and Bell had contributed songs to Oasis albums in the past decade (Sharrock, a live contributor, had never actually played on an Oasis album before the split), no one would have called their contributions significant. No one expected that to change, either.

However, almost immediately, the rest of the band decided to go on together, calling themselves Beady Eye and recording a debut album that is surprisingly varied and strong. ''We decided to meet up in a couple of months to see what we got but we couldn't wait that long and met up a week later and got stuck into it,'' Gallagher says. ''We didn't have to work at it, you know what I mean? If we had to try really f---ing hard, sweat our balls off for it, we wouldn't be f---ing doing it.''

Confidence didn't take long to appear in its wake and they feel good enough not to play any Oasis songs on stage because, Archer says, ''you can't dip in and out of the past. Spiritually, it's not healthy, man.'' And, Gallagher says, ''people respect that … we drew the f---ing line and we are f---ing getting on with it.''

It's clear this band seems more democratic than most - Archer and Sharrock nod at this comment - but there is a view that bands can't exist as democracies. That the best way for a band to operate is that there is a leader who makes the final decision. Is there an ultimate, decision-maker in Beady Eye? All three almost simultaneously answer no, before Gallagher explains why and takes a dig at the brother with whom he had a famously fractious relationship.

''The reason we are f---ing here is we are all f---ing leaders,'' he says. ''It's all well having a leader in the band, right yeah, taking care of everything, right. But if you are going to come to f---ing work with a f---ing face like a nun in pain, you know what I mean, because you are taking the weight of the world, everyone knows it.''

Right then. Life much the same in the Gallagher family. But not everything is the same in Beady Eye. Listen to Beady Eye's album Different Gear, Still Speeding and one of the first things you'll notice is how Gallagher's vocals sound less sharp and strained, the result being easily the best singing he's ever done. ''It's a sign of the times, man: I felt relaxed in the studio,'' he says. ''That's how I sing, man, around the house with my guitar.''

Beady Eye Wrap Up Debut UK Tour

Beady Eye brought their first UK tour to a close last night (March 10), playing their second show in a row at the Troxy venue.

Liam Gallagher's band played their first ever gig last Thursday (3) in Glasgow. They followed it with a further show in the Scottish city, two in Manchester then two in the UK capital.

Last night the former Oasis members played the same set they had throughout the tour, featuring songs from debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' and their cover of World Of Twist's 'Sons Of The Stage'.

Gallagher's attention turned to fashion as well as music during the show. He dedicated 'Man Of Misery' to "all the Pretty Greeners in the audience then later gestured to his parka and joked to the crowd: "Mine's real, yours is probably fake, innit."

The band are now set to head to Europe to play more shows, kicking off at the Casino De Paris in the French capital on Sunday.

Even My Kids Call Me Bonehead When They Are Taking The P***

It's been 17 years since Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs played King Tut's in Glasgow.

Back in 1993, his band Oasis muscled their way on stage and played four songs.

Creation boss Alan McGee was in the audience and signed them.

They went on to become the UK's biggest selling act of the nineties.

This month, the 45-year old guitarist who formed the fledgeling band that would become Oasis, is back at the same venue, this time with Glaswegian singer John Mackie.

Bonehead said: "I've been in King Tut's since but I haven't played it.

"It's a bit mental. I've told Alan McGee we are playing. Hopefully, he'll be there and sign us up."

Bonehead, 45, was in Glasgow for former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher's first show with new band Beady Eye.

The pair hadn't seen each other for five years.

Bonehead formed the nucleus of the band which added Liam and brother Noel and became Oasis. But the guitarist quit the band in 1999, during the recording of Oasis' fourth album, Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants.

Back then, he claimed he wanted to spend time with his family. But he's since admitted he thought Oasis had lost their spark and should have quit after their massive Knebworth shows in 1996.

He laughs at critics who have said Beady Eye sound like Oasis, pointing out it that's because the line-up includes Liam, Bonehead's guitar replacement Gem and Andy Bell.

He said: "I saw them in Glasgow and Manchester and I think it's the best I've heard Liam singing, ever.

"He's totally on form.

"Beady Eye are just going to get bigger and better."

While he still thinks he got out of Oasis "at the right time", Bonehead is sad that the band he formed in Manchester ended in a big brawl.

But, he added: "I was glad because Liam would go to the right, Noel would go to the left and the music industry needs both doing their own things.

"It's going to be good for music."

Would he play with either of the brothers again? "I'd play with them for a charity gig, of course," he added.

"We never fell out. People thought we had a dramatic fall-out and a fight but we never."

Although Noel is godfather to his daughter, the guitarist was bitchy when Bonehead quit Oasis, saying: "It's hardly Paul McCartney leaving the Beatles."

Bonehead laughed: "He was a bit bitter but that's just Noel being Noel. I got away lightly."

Although he's played in a couple of bands since leaving Oasis, Bonehead sees his guitar and production work with John Mackie as his first proper musical venture since leaving Britain's biggest band.

Singer John was in a band with Bonehead called The Vortex When it fizzled out, the pair started demoing John's songs and decided to build a band.

They play Blackstairs Lounge, Wick, on March 25, 20 Rocks, Falkirk, on March 26, Drummonds, Aberdeen, on March 27 and King Tut's on March 28.

For most people, the draw will be Bonehead rather than John.

But the guitarist reckons this will change by the end of the year.

He said: "People will come to see Bonehead in a new band but, by the end of the year, everyone is going to know John for who he is."

While The Vortex played Primal Scream-style pschyedelia, John's solo music is more emotional.

The setlist is mainly John's songs but there is one number by Bonehead. He said: "It hasn't got a name yet so it's called Bonehead's Tune."

What exactly is his role then? He said: "I play guitar and I produce. We formed the songs at my studio at home."

Maybe Bonehead is content. Certainly the royalties from playing on albums Definitely Maybe, (What's The Story) Morning Glory and Be Here Now, mean he doesn't have to go back to his old day job as a plasterer.

He's kept some of the fixtures from his front room that was used as the cover of Definitely Maybe.

The house has been sold but Bonehead has the fireplace and used the stained glass to make a door.

He may be moving on but he'll always be Bonehead from Oasis.

Does he mind?

The father-oftwo laughed: "I've been called Bonehead since I was seven. Even my kids call me it when they are taking the p***."

Liam Gallagher Talks Beady Eye, Oasis And More

Two pints - that's allegedly how long it took for the remnants of Oasis to decide to carry on as Beady Eye after Noel Gallagher pulled the pin on the notoriously fractious Britpop band in late 2009.

Chatting at the up-market Landmark London Hotel recently, Liam Gallagher says that while it wasn't quite that simple, it wasn't that hard either.

The 38-year-old bad boy is on his best behaviour today. Not only is Our Liam on time for the interview alongside Beady Eye bandmates guitarist Gem Archer and drummer Chris Sharrock (guitarist Andy Bell is MIA) but he is nice as pie during the chat.

Cup of coffee in hand, he's "buzzin', man"; clearly excited about the new project and super keen for their debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding (out today), to be a raging success. Mainly, one suspects, so he can stick it right up his older brother.

"Me and Noel had an argument that had been brewing for a long time and it came to its head in Paris," the younger Gallagher says of the demise of Oasis and rise of Beady Eye.

"He f...ed off, we stuck about, went back to the hotel, ordered a couple of beers... I wouldn't say it was that blase, it was a shock. We all thought that was it."

The remaining members decided to reconvene in a couple of months, but "couldn't wait that long and got stuck into it the following week", according to Gallagher.

"And what we got stuck into was tunes that are on this album and they sounded amazing.

"They could've been s..t and then I don't know where we would've been.

"But the spirit seemed to be there and the passion and they sounded good, so we decided to do more and here we are."

Grammy Award-winning English studio veteran Steve Lillywhite produced Different Gear, Still Speeding; his work with Sharrock's old band the La's, as well as U2, making him Gallagher's first choice for the debut.

The album kicks off in fine style on Four Letter Word, with Gallagher spitting lines like "sleepwalk your life away if that turns you on" and "nothing lasts forever".

While the defiant sentiment seems aimed fair and square at Noel, Archer says Bell wrote the song before Oasis split.

"If Oasis was Muhammad Ali, this is Sugar Ray Leonard. We're still in the ring and it means the world to us," Archer adds during a rare break from Gallagher's expletive-riddled rants. But soon Liam is back in fine form.

"They think we don't have the passion, all them people who used to come (to Oasis shows) and look at Noel," he begins. "They all come to look at that little fellow? F...ing hell, mate, they all want their heads checked, you know what I mean. We know what we're f...ing doing. So maybe it's good that people have s..t expectations because they can be blown away."

What does he think Oasis fans would make of the Beady Eye album? "I hope they like it, man, but it's not all about Oasis fans, to be quite honest," Gallagher counters. The singer also gives short shrift to questions over whether Noel's departure spells the end of Oasis. "It looks like it, doesn't it," he sneers.

The Beady Eye members, whose collective past involves stints in the La's, Ride, Heavy Stereo, the Lightning Seeds and - of course - Oasis, all display remarkable passion for the new project. This is not a sideline, something to do until Noel returns.

"We want to make music that's going to inspire kids, man," Gallagher says. "We don't want to be the last f...ing great f...ing band in the world, even though we take some f...ing beating. That's just a natural thing. We want people to join bands because of us."

While Liam has a fashion line, Pretty Green (named after the Jam song), and a film production company, he insists that music is still number one in his life.

Forty-four year-old Archer, who joined Oasis in 1999 after founding member Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs departed, is equally passionate about rock'n'roll.

"I couldn't imagine a world without it. As far back as I can remember, I've never not had a gig, since I was about 14 or something," he laughs. "So, this is it."

Archer admits to being "gutted" when Noel walked out on Oasis, but says he didn't sit around crying. The taciturn Sharrock, 46, nods his agreement, as Gallagher launches into another spiel.

"We owe it to ourselves to give it another try," he says. "We're happy with what we've done. It's not the best album in the f...ing world, it ain't going to cure cancer or anything like that, but it's going to change people's lives for that hour and a half when they come and see us. Not everyone's going to like it but not everyone's going to hate it either."

Beady Eye made their live debut in Glasgow on March 3 and has gigs in the UK and Europe to the end of April, before the band tours Japan in May and hits the European summer festival circuit. Aussie dates are tipped to follow.

The quartet is determined not to line up too many shows, preferring to - in Gallagher's parlance - to "get in there, go f...ing 'bang' and leave more of an impression".

"The idea is to get around the world on this album without killing ourselves or boring people, or just killing it," he says. "And then come back and have a break - nothing too f...ing long - and then get stuck in to another album and not let up.

"We're not getting any younger and this is what we do. Get a couple of albums out of the way - classics - and then maybe get out of people's faces." As Gallagher sings on album track Beatles and Stones, he wants Beady Eye to stand the test of time, like his heroes. No false modesty here, then.

"Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you don't," he says. "But overall, you want people to look back and go 'They f...ing meant it, man. They were great. The music world was a better place for having them'."

Different Gear, Still Speeding is out now.
