I can. Noel's album sounds like Oasis, ie not modern. Mainly because the songs were written for, and in, Oasis.
What's a 'modern' melody anyway, Lady Gaga?

What's a 'modern' melody anyway, Lady Gaga? he is one of the best melodists of all time in britain. and he shows all his skills in if i had a gun, a song that probably just noel could write. sure he sounds like oasis, because he wrote all the songs that defined that band, but thats sounds more modern than the roller which is a good song but nothing to hit the charts anymore. a good rocknroll band could hit the charts. but beady eye are just a boring oasis coverband. nothing special, nothing to remember |

Oh come on. People need to stop being so over dramatic.
Beady Eye are not doing any better or any worse than they were 2 months ago. They are doing moderately well for a new band. Enough to warrant a new album. As long as the albums and tours are funding themselves and a little bit extra for the involved parties then BDI can justify their existence. They don't NEED to smash it to continue although I am sure they and most here would prefer it.
They do have to have a better album and most importantly decent singles next time around. People are probably less likely to buy it off curiosity the second time around, I'd imagine. The farther Noel and Liam get from Oasis the less it will matter that they were in Oasis and the more it will matter what their last album and the current album is like which is good and bad. In time they will build their own legacy...modest though it may be.
BDI can keep going as long as it pays to keep the lights on. 300K should be sufficient for this album I'd have thought.

Management changes,tour not selling out, Noel shitting over them from a great height,Liam walking out of gigs. Doesnt look good. RIP Beady Eye. How is Noel's solo success related to a potential demise of Beady Eye? |

just let Beady Eye do what they do. they play theatres, so what?
just becasuse they dont play arenas but Noel does doesnt mean people should bash them...
if the band are performing well and the fans who do go enjoy it then thats ALL that matters.

I suppose a lot is riding on their second album. If it doesn't do as well as the first one, is the reunion imminent? Or will they just tour the fuck out of it and hope that adding Oasis songs to the set will keep fans coming to the gigs? We shall see...

Exactly! Noel is a phenomenon with a world class talent. Liam and Beady Eye are simply a very, very good band with the odd moment of inspiration. Beady Eye are NOWHERE near done - after TOP THREE album and a world tour. Just enjoy it, people! |

I liked John Robb's (Stone Roses friend and biographer) line a few days back:
"Noel may be thrilled to have the Stone Roses back but he's very much his own man on his own path, as Liam, whose Beady Eye have sold far less records but was a fine debut that will be re-evaluated one day, found out this week as Oasis reunion rumours were quashed".

Beady eye are not finished. They just need to be judged for what they are. They're not oasis. They're a band of former oasis members trying to make it on their own without oasis songs, which tbh deserves respect. Let's face it, bands of oasis' size and influence only emerges once or twice every decade, probably lesser now with the declining music sales, x factor and so on.
IMO a fair comparison with beady eye are stereophonics or a band of that size. To judge them as done after 1 record after all, is why the music scene isn't as exciting as it has been. Give them a chance to make that 2nd album, if they come up with something great, good for all of us, they will move on to bigger arenas and fame, if they don't they'll stay at this level still for the benefit of those who like them...win-win really.

Nah. A few things are not going to tumble this band like some people think.
But yea, like gdforever says, they need a whole better release this time and that comes not only from the members of the band, but also from the band management.

Well said. Liam can't tumble, he's hard as nails. |

They need a new producer who can contribute creatively to get their songs past the 2 minute mark and still keep the listener interested.
DGSS suffered a lot from this.

Top three album, world tour, lots of festival appearances, decent but not massive fan base, lots of media interest and one of the most recognisable voices in modern rock 'n' roll as it's front man. I think they will be ok. Noel's sales or venue size will have no impact on Beady Eye for God's sake. If we work on the logic that if one act are "bigger" than another then the smaller one should quit, Noel best wrap up the high flying birds cause Coldplay are going to murder them.

I just can't see Liam being happy for much longer if BDI don't get any bigger. I don't think Liam, Gem and Andy are good enough songwriters to make them much better than they are.

DGSS was the top creatively for BE. They dont have the talent or pull to last much longer.

Just because Liam is in one band and Noel the other doesn't make them comparable acts.
Liam wants to play live all the time, keep releasing music whereas Noel by his own admission is happy to sit around for 2 years.
BDI don't have to keep touring the same album, they are doing so because they want to. They have chosen not to play Oasis songs, Noel has built his whole promotion around his debut tour around his Oasis songs.
Noel has openly said he isn't intertested in touring smaller venues with cheaper tickets for fans.
There is no way Noel would sell out the arena's without his Oasis songs, he knows this hence why all his promotion is about the 9 Oasis songs in the set not the new stuff.
BDI arguably could have sold out bigger venues if they played BWTB, IBIA, TUTS, Songbird, IOT, BM, BOADC etc....
They are trying to achieve completely different things musically so any comparision is unfair on them both

I hope not cause I'm enjoying it very much !!!  And to be fair, despite being probably less big as they would've exepcted themselves, I really think they're enjoying it to! And being less big doesn't make the music any worse. Quite the contrary, i'm pretty sure it's a good thing for the music! I do agree though, that they could use at least one really good single on the next album to get back into the spotlight. But i'm pretty sure they're able to deliver the goods |

Everyone should go home. Adele put them all out of business top of the year. |
