No Oasis songs. Instead, do a cover of another Beatles song or maybe one by John Lennon... I'm sure Liam would love that  |

People make it sound like vast numbers of people who "don't believe" in Beady Eye are going to the gigs, and saying "Wow, they played all their own material. How credible! They can stand on their own two feet and are a real band!"
Who is gonna go and see Beady Eye that doesn't think that already? You think people who were casual enough Oasis fans to not be familiar with Beady Eye material are gonna be going to the gigs, or researching set-lists, in the hope of seeing the band purely to do Oasis covers?
No, the people going to the shows are already 100% behind the band.
Also, a LOT of artists who were with some of the most successful bands in the world split, but still played the old songs.
When Ozzy quit Black Sabbath, he continued to sing Black Sabbath songs. When Rob Zombie left White Zombie, he did the same. When Ronnie Dio joined Black Sabbath, they retained the Sabbath name and played Sabbath tunes. When they reunited in 2007, they went by the name Heaven & Hell, by then having such a back-catalogue of their own material that they could avoid playing the Ozzy-era Sabbath material. Kiss have their current guitarist Tommy sing former guitarist Ace's signiture tune "Shock Me", which Ace originally wrote/sang. Alter Bridge started out playing support slots. Velvet Revolver played Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots covers and still had one of the best-selling hard-rock albums of the 2000s. Audioslave did Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine covers. Chickenfoot do lots of extended jams and solos and crowd interaction to ensure their show lasts the length of a fll set. On their second album tour, the plan is to incorporate classic songs from their Van Halen roots. The X-Pensive Winos, Keith Richards' solo band, played Stones covers. Wings did stuff by The Beatles. Down played covers until they had a full set. Temple of the Dog didn't gig at all. Slash's Snakepit, a band featuring GN'R's Slash and Gilby Clarke, did GN'R covers. Loaded, who feature Duff McKagan, play GN'R covers.
When Van Halen fired David Lee Roth and hired Sammy Hagar, they always played 2-4 classic songs with Hagar, despite completely insisting it was a 100% new band (which was why they only played a few, rather than a full selection of hits). That's the kind of compromise to aim for.
It's honestly really unusual for a supergroup to play sets this short, even when establishing themselves as a "New" band.

I think the point is that they were (and still are) largely written off. They collectively contributed the best part of fuck all to Oasis songwriting wise and it was assumed that they'd shite without Noel's songs. They're now trying to prove that they can do it without the Oasis brand behind them.

eyeball tickler and turn up the sun alone would improve there [sic] set by miles I think those songs would work well. I wouldn't complain if they added 'Songbird' and 'I'm Outta Time' too. |

in so many ways millionaire for a random exmaple is a great track and as good as oasis
and if thats the case
then fucking let them stick to their guns, did weller play Jam stuff with THE Style council? NO
Beady Eye are a great band, with great tunes in their own right and I think moving away from oasis is the best thing they can do cos then you start getting even more comparisons from jorunalists and fans between Beady Eye vs oasis
the thought playing these tunes shouldnt be considered until the third or fourth tour for me

Id like to see them add a couple of their Oasis songs and even some covers (I Am The Walrus for example).
