At least we are talking about Gallagher music right. They couldve just shut it down and we would have waited for noels wife to say "ok noeln u can go and play a few gigs now" lmao

?

So if you judge a band by the name you would never have listened to The Beatles, right?

I don't think Beady Eye sound bad at all. The pronounciation is really cool.

What is the matter with some of you lot ? Its like Boyzone fans moaning about the name of a song or something.

Again: When the Beatles came out their name was slated, when Oasis came out people mocked their name.

What about the Arctic Monkeys ? What a stupid name that is. A great album later no one cares.

Liam could call his band '3 inch penis' but as long as the songs were great i wouldnt care (Granted might be embarassing wearing a t shirt with their logo on).

I mean, christ - Beady Eye isnt the worst. Again i'm not fussed by the band name, i just want a good album. What is it with some people ? Getting into stupid discussions about 'i dont like the band name so i wont like them...' (Said in a silly girlie voice).

Come on !

I suppose you guys are right to an extent. Although I still like Beady Eye worse than all of those.

But the missing element that we are relying upon is that all those bands went on to release @ least 1 incredible album.

I am hoping for a decent album from Beady Eye. However...I doubt highly that they are going to release something truly iconic.

I dig TBWTL, ABWR, Songbird, TUTS, ET, KTDA and Soldier On. IMHO, seven tracks of that quality and four more of HIABP/NOR quality would be more than okay!

Same here, the famous Oasis songs like Wonderwall/DLBIA are classics but as i've heard them so many times i like listening to some of the 'lesser' not so famous ones, eg Hey Now, Be Here Now, TBWTL, Soldier on like you say etc.

If Beady Eye can do tracks equal to these 'filler' type tracks i'll be happy as hell.

I'm not expecting Definiately Maybe Mk II or that, i just want an album full of new tunes which are half decent, that'll keep me happy.

I don't care about the band name. I just want good music. I like that Liam and co. are doing something and not just shutting it down, but I'm not willing to say that its a fair trade off if we get a bad or only decent album. That is the very definition of being a fan boy. I personally dont take bad albums and then say that I'm grateful that I at least got some music, that's not the way I'm built. I didnt like it when Oasis only made decent albums, I'm not going to like it if BDI makes a bad or decent album. I like and want good music. (I'm not saying that the album will be bad)

For me, I pretty much know that they'll probably come out with something that's barely above average and I'll probably be happy with that because I wasnt expecting much from them. Even with all that though, I'm always hopeful that I'll be proven wrong. And when I listen to their album, I will listen to it with a clear mind. Also, all I want is good music I couldn't give a shit for a band name.

Oneeye, I have to admit that you should've known that this thread was not going to be about uplifting BDI. The title thread does kinda spell it out and shouldn't have been a surprise.

What really worries me personally, is the fact that almost everytime someone tries to either critisize or have a debate on their music, some jump on the people having the debate with some hurtful language. I don't see why anyone has to tell anyone to "fuck off" because they're stating a valid opinion. It just seems that they're alot of itchy trigger fingers when it comes to discussing BDI's music.

I just dont see why there cant be a valid discussion without someone saying "we/you shouldn't be judging the band", "you have no right to judge what they're doing", "if you don't like it then fuck off". Both sides have been spewing this, and both sides are at fault. But to me, it always seems as if this always comes up when someone offers a point of critisism about BDI (whether fair or unfair).

The forum is for discussion. Why are some (on both sides) trying to shut discussion down?

^^I think some have written off, but that doesnt mean that everyone who tries to have a discussion on them is writing them off.

I mean if I made a thread out of the blue that said "what can be fixed with the BTL and SOTS". That thread will get some responses asking "why do you have to critsize the band", "you have no right to question what they're doing". And the same can be said about people writing them off. That same thread will get people who will say "they're just shit and always will be".

The problem is that there are some who make valid points about the music and then get slagged off for for it. What's up with that? There are some on the forum who have not pre-judged BDI, and yet when they make an opinion they get tossed into groups like "oh, you're team Noel" or "You just want the Oasis sound". There probably are some that are team Noel or do want the Oasis sounds, but that doesnt mean everyone does.

And it just seems to me that many who arent trying to pick sides, who are just trying to judge the music are being pushed into a box whenever they try to make a comment. I mean I think someone asking whether BTL is a good sign or bad sign is a fair thread, I think questioning the production is a good thread, I think questiong whether BDI is making the right decisions is a good thread. Questioning music is what usually makes music great. And to tell the truth for me, if being a fan of someone means not questioning what they put out or do, then count me out. Cause in the end fans question. Whether in sports, music, literature, fans question.

Just to be clear. I still think the name is naff. I am not judging or writing off the band because of the name...or @ all @ this point.

To judge a band by it's name is stupid...but there is nothing wrong with not liking the name.

And here here spaneli...thank God for you. =P Been saying it for weeks myself...how many times do you think that we can post the same point before it starts sinking in?

The board has calmed down a bit though thankfully...until next single. =S

It is like supporting your team.

I have the same passion for Oasis like I do for Newcastle United!!!!!!!!

Other bands just don't have that with their fans.
