Liam Gallagher says being in a new band is like telling people he’s now a transvestite and ordering them to call him by a new name.
The British musician made his name in rock band Oasis, which also featured his brother Noel Gallagher. The siblings have a famously turbulent relationship, with both frequently threatening to leave the group following arguments. In 2009, Noel finally walked out on the band claiming he could no longer deal with his brother.
Oasis disbanded, and Liam formed his new band Beady Eye. The name hasn’t gone down that well with critics, but Liam insists people will get used to it in time.
“I don’t give a f**k mate,” he replied, when told Beady Eye sounds like a folk band from 1972 by Q magazine. “It’s psychedelic. People know me as Oasis so it will be weird for a bit. It’s like a transvestite, like me walking into a room and going, ‘Right, that’s it, I’m called Lisa now.’ But people will be calling their kids Beady Eye by the end of the year. You’ve got to keep a beady eye on all sorts, haven’t you? It puts us next to The Beatles, as well, in the rack. Instead of the f**kin’ Osmonds.”
Liam is currently promoting Beady Eye’s debut Different Gear, Still Speeding. He is proud of the record, and had a great time making it as the group were so relaxed in the studio. The singer explained he didn’t feel under as much pressure as he had previously.
He refused to confirm or deny whether his song The Morning Son – which includes the lyric “You’re blinded by what you idolise” – is about Noel, only saying it’s a song which means a great deal to him.
“These songs were done in four, five takes. I remember doing 20 takes on that last album [2008’s Dig Out Your Soul]. I was in there singing all day long, it’s f**kin’ boring,” he explained.
“Most of the songs [on Different Gear, Still Speeding] are about no one and everyone. But The Morning Son could be the only one attached to Noel. Sometimes you can be held back by something that you f**kin’ worship too much.”

Always thought he would keep things like that to himself. (Even though FLW was written by Andy, I haven't heard Liam saying anything about that song being about Noel...) You never know Unless you try You're blinded by what You Idolize I stand alone nobody knows the morning son has rose So are these lyrics about the fact that Noel had to try going solo and left Liam behind? When we hear the whole song we'll know more...

Also, we can presume that was written by Liam, since he says it means a great deal to him.

Jep, indeed. Don't really get what he means when he says: "Sometimes you can be held back by something that you f**kin’ worship too much.”
Is he talking about Noel holding him back?

Cheers Who does Noel idolise? If anything, I think the meaning postulated here is that Liam idolized Noel and worshiped Oasis and that held him (Liam) back.

I would think that Noel was the one held back

I think they held each other back in a different way.
I think Noel will be more experimental without Liam
I think Liam will be more prolific without Noel

Didn't he just say The Morning Son is the one closest to be about Noel and not deliberately about Noel?
I think you're reading way too much into this.
The bit about worshipping something too much is just another way of saying the Oasis 'concept' was holding the band back.

I sound like NL4E here, but I read it as they all worshipped Noel's status as head of the band and it held them all back.

I think Liam's saying his worship to Noel instead of Oasis held him back. After all, Noel is the brother/father/mentor thing to him, and Liam has been worshiping him since day one. In boy with the blues, he sang "you let me see, the man I wanna be".

In boy with the blues, he sang "you let me see, the man I wanna be". I want to stab my own eyes out after reading that. It's one thing to try to find meaning in the lyrics, but what's a random lyric from another song got to do with it?
