Without getting into the debate whether they should or shouldn't play Oasis songs, if they choose to, which is looking likely, how different will it be to later Oasis gigs?
It would be naive to say "This is Oasis minus Noel, they will sound exactly the same". That just isn't the case. Beady Eye sound very different to Oasis live in terms of how there isn't that "wall of sound" from the instruments for one. For me, that had a very negative effect on Liam vocally, and was a contributor to his late Oasis vocal decline. And i think now we are seeing the same happen to Noel to less an extent.
Even if you disagree with that, it certainly didn't help with Liam having to sing so loudly over the guitars, its a problem Beady Eye don't have at all and as a result Liam is singing great.
So even if you are against the idea of them playing Oasis songs, you can't deny it will be intriguing to hear them with Liam singing the best he has post 2000 and with the band on great form. Dare i say it, i think it will be a far more enjoyable experience than seeing The High Flying Birds perfrom them.

Sure, it'll sound better without the guitars turn to 11, but I can't wait for the songs from the 2nd record.

Mr A. Bell doing a guitar solo or two would give the song(s) a new twist...

They're gonna sound great. Liam's vocals are better than the last decade. He'll really gonna gave them justice. And Andy Bell is a very good guitarist and Gem is too. They can even give them a fresh sound and play them a little differently like Noel does.
But some of Noel's version were fine too, DLBIA was great, HTWA was great and Talk Tonight also. The set accoustic was great. The rest was so so.
Basically, BDI's doing Oasis song would be great. Noel's doing Oasis song is great most of the time.

The only differences would be:
1) Andy would be playing guitar instead of Noel (which would be an improvement, since Andy is a better guitarist)
2) Noel's backing vocals would be severly missed, since Gem and Andy aren't up to much in that department unfortunately

My biggest concerns are the backing vocals, Liam and Noel were a great combination. With Liam putting some extra effort in with Beady Eye, his vocals should be pretty good too. It will be interesting what songs they will choose. |

i think they'll sound pretty damn good. As good as Oasis? not quite cos Noel wont be there but still...
As you very well pointed out, the backing vocals is a big deal, always was with Oasis songs and Noel will be missed.

If both Noel and Liam are playing Oasis songs, it will be a pretty strong indicator that they will yearn to be in Oasis again. Hopefully some day soon they can put their egos aside and make up and reform.

Depends which Oasis songs they play. Liam cannot sing certain old songs, regardless of the improvement of his voice since the HC, DBTT and DOYS tours. His voice is simply not the same as it was when he was younger, and it never will be again. But if he sticks to the ones that are in his range, they'll sound great. Question remains: will they be singing the classics or LAG songs? Hopefully just LAG songs. |

I'd be okay hearing one Oasis song live at a Beady Eye gig. I think the crowd would go nuts, and the band could play off their energy. But I don't think Beady Eye should do Oasis songs. Not because they don't have a right to, they absolutely do. But they'd be perceived too much as Oasis, and I think they should stay away from that, and stick with Beady Eye. If Noel were with two or three members of Oasis, I'd feel the same way. If Liam were on his own, without Gem and Andy, then I'd say he should go for it. But my overwhelming opinion is that I don't want to see Beady Eye do anymore than 1 Oasis song at a Beady Eye gig.

There won't be any complaints about the sound. i fear the same in every thread, even the ones i don't post in. It's always a matter of when a certain group sees the thread and decide to ruin it. Anyways, back on topic.... Initially i didn't want anyone to play any Oasis songs as i saw them as exactly that-- OASIS SONGS. Then Noel decided to make up half his seltist Oasis tunes, so since one of them is doing it, fuck it! Hopefully BDI only plays 2 or 3 though. I know Liam doesn't want it to be all about Oasis so i think he'll stick to only a few Oasis songs. As for the commet about "he can no longer sing some of the songs". I understand what you're saying but... imo Liam can always sing it a bit different, without losing the essence of the song(unlike Noel's version of SUpersonic) and make it work. sure it may not sound the same it used to but at times it can be a good thing for the song. A good example of this is Morning Glory, i may be in the minority but i think the 2005 V Fest version of the song is a lot better than the 1995/original version. the raspier voice Liam now has adds character and obviously the musicians in the band sound better as well. Different doesn't necessarily have to mean worse. At least not always. |

It would sound ridiculous, sorry...playing songs you didn't write...
Honestly, I think Noel' backing vocals will be missed a lot.

And I admit my expression was a bit generalised, but to play one cover or to play a bunch of songs you did not pen are two different pair of shoes. However, you can't compare a situation of playing one Beatles song to Beady Eye playing Oasis songs. |

In the later days of Oasis I thought Noel's backing vocals were shit at times, I wouldn't even call them backing vocals, he was singing half the damn song along with Liam!

Liam can sing them, but wouldn't he feel a bit silly? Why not just stick to the LAG songs? 5-6 are defintely good enough to make the live set significantly better. well for one, he made those songs famous, they're identified with his voice, they were released by his band, and they're classics in huge part because of him(obviously also because of Noel since he wrote them). So no, he's not gonna feel "silly" by singing them, nor should he. |

I'd only prefer 2-3 LAG Oasis songs at best on the next tour. |

^^I'm with you as well. I think it would add just the right amount of spice. Not that I didnt absolutely love the BDI gig, but if they're going to add OAsis songs, I think thats the best way to go.
