^^This is so funny, becuase when Oasis was together, just about everyone had the same complaints. lmao
But it might have something to do with where you live. If you're from the US, then there's no way anyone knows about DBI

Yeah I agree 100% with this. I asked some people if they wanted to come to Apollo to watch them and they was like, would do if I knew who Beady Eye was. So when I said "Liam, Andy, Gem.." Ohh Oasis? "No, Beady Eye"
Does get annoying

The promotion is a average. To me, its no different than the promotion that Oasis did toward the end, but then again Oasis did have the name regonition and didnt have to really promote that much.
So yeah, that promotion has been some what sub par.

The promotion has been alright with the singles/cheap videos so people can get a taster for them, still think Bring the light as the first free release was a bad choice as everyone mostly panicked. If 4 letter word came out then Bring the light it wouldnt have been such a shock.
I've had to explain to a few mates who i cant believe havent heard of Beady Eye (as theyre into decent music). When i say the Oasis-Noel line they then come out with 'bet the songs are crap then' which i reply theyre not, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Granted theres not a CD-UK or Top of the pops but how come theres no adverts on TV with some sort of suggestion that 'liams back...' kinda thing. They may be on the front cover of Rolling Stone etc in various countries but in the UK apart from the hardcore masses/NME fans i think most people havent heard of them which is a huge shame

Yeah same. I say, "I'm going to see Beady Eye in April in Brighton"
"Who's that? BDI? That's a shit name, what are they, a JLS tribute band?"
"No no, it's Beady Eye, as in 'I have an eye that is beady'"
"Oh right. Who the fuck is that?"
"It's Liam Gallagher's new band. Basically it's Oasis without Noel."
"Oh, so it's Oasis without the talented one? No thanks."
"For fuck's sake."
