Yawn, the haters out in force to have a pop at Liam Gallagher and Beady eye.

Liam is a terrific singer, but he needs good songs.
Noel is a good songwriter, but he needs a good singer.

Maybe Liam could team up with Pete Townshend, and Noel with Roger Daltry?

And do what exactly? Form a band called Whoasis? :-D

LOL ,that's a good one JKF !

Oh Yeah!

2 1 2 0

I think a lot of people who slag of Liam just believe anything the press write in order to sell more papers. Liam is as gentle and polite towards ordinary people as Keith Richards and Charlie Watts. I have met all three on a numerous occasions and they are all on the same cloud, along with Ronnie (who I have never met properly) and Noel Gallagher. I have accompanied Oasis on tour twice in America and I have never met such great and generous people.

Beady Eye's two records are good but they couldn't really match Oasis. However I find it ludicruos that fellow Stones fans slag off Oasis, the ONLY band that were EVER worthy of keeping the torch that Mick & Keith invented. You clearly have missed the Point. Some of you even prefer sh*te like Pearl jam and God knows what which says it all.

Strange.

Well, since Beady Eye now have split at least I can see twice as many Stones shows as they are the only band I now care about to see live (alright, Bob Dylan too but 2 shows with him per year's enough)

The Who on Keith's birthday at the O2 as the exception and then STONES All down the Line.

<Beady Eye's two records are good but they couldn't really match Oasis.>

It might be that this is the core of the problem: Many people don't like Oasis

I think they were ok back in the day, but I must admit I have never heard Beady Eye. I'll give them a spin for you, Max

Sounds pretty good.

There IS no point to Liam Gallagher, THAT'S the point .... and not only I, but shedloads of other people too, most certainly haven't missed it. The man is without talent, the man is a loudmouth gobshite, and Beady Eye's lack of commercial success is hardly surprising ... don't really understand why this should be a surprise to anyone in their right mind, and in particular Mr Gallagher. He's so far up his own backside it beggars belief. May he go away and stay away, he will become tabloid fodder in due course ... that's all he deserves. Good riddance !

All praises to brother Noel meanwhile !!

Pauly, I'm not sure if Roll73 wrote that with tongue in cheek...

but agree with you anyhow.

My tongue was very firmly in my cheek!

I think Paulywaul needs to go away and come back when he's calmed down a little bit...

Wasn't it Liam that offered his mate Richard Ashcroft (in all sincerity) to "beat up the Rolling Stones" after the 'Bittersweet Symphony' / 'The Last Time' shocker?!

Guy cracks me up all the time...

Great band Oasis.
Great power in his voice, that Liam.
Saw Beady Eye once, at a festival; no Oasis - not in a million miles... but: wotyhwhile. Good fun!

And I agree with Geordiestone here:

Whatever you might think of Liam, it has to be said he's a colourful character and there aint enough of those in rock n roll these days.

...definitely not enough colourful characters like him in R'n'R around, these days!

Perfectly calm here, a positive ocean of tranquillity I am currently residing in ........ but I do thank you for the consideration.

Meanwhile, would you like any further views on Liam Gallagher ......... ???

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

Never really took much of an interest in them.....

But I do quite like this





What a drag it is gettin' old

The band sounds good, but that vocal...it just sounds detached, lazy and generally uninspired.

EDIT...the word 'band' has an 'n' in it!

Not sure that's lending any gravitas to your observation.

Gee, I wish they stayed together, because they were pretty much under the radar. Now we have to worry about an Oasis reunion

Oasis, the ONLY band that were EVER worthy of keeping the torch that Mick & Keith invented.

You've got to be kidding me.....weren't they just a UK thing that never really caught on in the USA. I think their egos were bigger than their talents and I was turned off every time I heard one of them talking about their band. Or doing ludicrous comparisons of themselves to the Stones. A little success can be a dangerous thing..


although I must admit, I did enjoy that tune flick of the finger that DP posted.

peace

Oasis defined a moment in time in the UK and Ireland between 94-97, i think it's a little bit sad and disrespectful to trample all over some peoples memories on here. If you don't like them fine but i for one would rather hear from iorr posters with something good to say. It's almost impossible to overstate what a big deal they once were here. I think the Beady Eye break up was kinda inevitable but i doubt this is the last we've heard from Liam, Gem and Andy and think it's gonna be a really exciting emotional time when Oasis do return as they most surely will. I'd heard rumours it was gonna be next year for the Whats The Story 20th anniversary. I'm keeping everything crossed. There is way too much banality in the music world nowadays, Liam and Noel were always entertaining.

This would be an excellent statement...on an Oasis site.

I think what irritates some people (me included) is that we have to have an OT thread about so many irrelevant acts. Oasis, the Black Crows, AC/DC. None of them are in the same league as the Stones or have anything in common with them. It just clutters up the site, like all the "RIP" threads we have to have every time a second-rate celebrity dies.

Fair point 71Tele. And while i agree that the Stones are the greatest i think it's a touch out of order calling those other bands irrelevant. 2 of them happen to be 2 of my favourites in the Black Crowes and Oasis.

Liam Gallagher is louder then he should be, naive to reality, lucky to have a job and abrasive. But to say he has no talent makes you all those things...

If I Had A Gun would've been a smash hit if Liam had sang it...

Maybe your favorite, but not necessarily relevant. The Replacements and Elvis Costello are my favorites, but I don't start OT threads about them (at least not often). We all have our favorites. I meant relevant to the Stones. Sorry to nitpick, I normally don't care, but there are certain acts that seem to have a lot of threads about them here and I have never really been sure why.

I'm supportive of everyone having and expressing their different music tastes, but you can't expect everyone to drink the kool aid you are serving here.

It's funny because banal is how I would have described Oasis...but again, I recognize that is a taste thing.

So, never has a band that's been together so long meant so little to so many.... Yeah, I think so....
