Playing Second Fiddle to Coldplay at heineken festival.
A Day Slot.
Poor clueless crowd reaction
Watching Coldplay (who I don't like) blow the crowd away like Oasis would've done and definitely closed the show.
I truely feel that this will be a low point for Beady Eye's Tour. The States aren't as mad for beady eye as Europe and the band isn't Headlining all the festivals. They really lack the anthems a stadium needs. Now the band could potentially go out and write an album with a few big tunes but realistically I believe that somewhere deep inside Liam Lastnight at the heineken festival he Must have been saying "Fuck I wish I was Singing Oasis tunes right Now and Closing this fuckin show not these fuckin coldplay lads". From the videos I've seen the crowd wasn't even reacting to "Beady Eye". If it was Oasis they wouldve been hands in the Air fuckin Mad ferret. Liam felt it yesterday. I don't care what anyone says and trust me....it bothered him at least a bit and maybe a lot.

Yeah watched some vids from that festival, and the reactions weren't that enthusiastic. But that's only because they're a new band and not a lot of people know their tunes yet. Like here on The Roller, the crowd seemed more pleased. The only reason that is, is because it probably received some radio airplay there  And it has to be said, this video proves that when you're in the crowd, the band (and liam) are sounding really good!! |

Liam wants to be the best. This can only be achieved in Oasis. I don't mind BDI but it can't happen in that Band.

It'll do him good. It'll do Noel good too to see what life is like for the other 99% of the music business that never reach the stratosphere that Oasis reached almost immediately. It'll do then some good to have to work for it.
Hopefully it'll give them an appreciation for they had in Oasis.
It is true that it'll give BDI a more realistic view of their place. The fans at the gigs have been super supportive from what they've said. As mad-for-it as Oasis fans are (they should be because they are Oasis fans) but that isn't the general attitude of the rest of the world. It's only realistic...and it'll give them the impetus to really put their all into the second album and not take their for off the gas. Not that I think they would've been lazy otherwise.

if anything Beady Eye festival wise is going the same way as Oasis started, mid slots and the occasional under headliner slot. probably brings back memories for liam, he may even like it, he can go on stage and do his thing then come off get pissed and watch the other bands

i'm sure Liam realized it's not the same at the beginning of the tour when his paychecks for shows were about a quarter of what they used to be.

at least he's sounding better on that video....
and for the record, i think Liam already knew it wasn't quite the same as Oasis.

There seems to be a weird belief on here that people have considered all sorts of thoughts and possibillities that Liam would to be much to thick to have ever entertained. |

There seems to be a weird belief on here that people have considered all sorts of thoughts and possibillities that Liam would to be much to thick to have ever entertained. Oh I think he knew. But there is a difference between knowing this intellectually and seeing it practically. They've been playing to their own crowds thus far, Oasis crowds. Crowds invested in the band. They may be smaller gigs...but the crowds have seemed as up for it as many Oasis crowds. These will be the first gigs played to people who were necessarily big Oasis fans and may or may not know anything about BDI other than the fact that Liam fronts them. It's definitely not because I think he is thick. |

I agree with your post too, but for the some of the others; Which bit of it have BDI not considered/understood when they signed up to do festivals? |

Naive to think they thought they would have not understood what their reception would be at the festivals |

to be fair to liam, i cant imagine noel getting too many headline slots at festivals either... and lets face it, although noel wrote some of the best festival/stadium songs ever, it was usually liam who sang them. with the exception of a few (DLBIA, TIOBI) liam sang them all  |

It's not a slight against BDI that they are 2nd or 3rd on the bill. That is the right level for a new band with only a debut album to play. |

I think it depends on what kind of album he wants to put out and more importantly how much effort he really wants to put into touring. He has said that his favorite spot is actually the one before the headliner where the sun sets during your set. |

I hope he doesn't do a Beady Eye and just do a couple of shows on the east coast, one in the midwest, and maybe a few on the west coast. Like to see him put just a bit more time into it than that. |

if he releases his album at the end of the summer, would it be safe to say that he will of stopped touring by the time festival season begins next year? if his album isnt made for festival gigs this could be the reason his album is "apparently" (using the brackets cos its only speculation) finished and we're not hearing any information? cos he wants to avoid all the festival gigs?

It works both ways.
The upside is that Beady Eye were given immediate exposure because of the Gallagher name, history and past contacts.
The downside of course is that Liam Gallagher is (perhaps rightfully) seen as a spent force. This is their level now, they aren't going to attract many more new fans regardless.
There isn't much he can do about it, but as I say, there is an upside. I didn't expect the Beady Eye tour to sell out so quickly, for example.
They're obviously enthusiastic, but the real test will be album number 2 or 3 when the enthusiasm wears off. Especially if he's on good terms with Noel by then.
