certainly LAG have produced some brilliant songs, my personal favorite being KTDA.
They have enough good tunes of their own if the wanted to go that route. Just to name a few: IOT, TYFTGT, KTDA, SB, and as you mentioned, one of the best Oasis openers ever TUTS.

So i don't understand this idea of "they need to prove they can write good tunes" imo that's a bit contradictory on your part.
Plus, they've had some great songs with BDI(TMS, 4LW). So what are we talking about here?
Liam doesn't need to prove a thing imo, he's an accomplished songwriter, as good as Noel? no but he can hold his own, and LAG as a group have certainly held their own as songwriters.
Like you pointed out yourself, he has the right to play those songs, so he can(and will) play them if he pleases. LAG and Liam in particular have nothing to prove. Noel on the other had a bit more to deal with, having never been a frontman and whatnot. People are still debating now whether he has the goods as a solo live performer,even when singing Oasis tunes(like Supersonic, not the ones he made famous obviously)

"LAG"...what is that?

I dunno, I might fuckin' spontaneously combust at any moment I reckon.

It does seem needless, doesn't it? Both groups have enough material of their own. TBH, I'd like to see them stretch out the songs a bit more. I'd love to hear how Beady Eye could stretch out some of the slow burners in a live setting (Morning Son, Wigwam, Kill For A Dream). The musicianship seems like it goes to waste sometimes....

I know we don't really have much point of reference w/ Heavy Stereo, but what type of show did Ride put on? Were the songs performed note for note like the record or did they stray at all?

Us Oasis fans. Noel : Oasis songwritter, Liam : Oasis singer.

Noel playing Oasis' songs : Oasis fan happy.

Liam playing Oasis songs : Oasis fans happy.

It should really be as simple as that, they both have right to play those songs, we should be glad they both do. Wanting to hear more Beatles and Stone or SOTEOTN better than Supersonic or Rockn roll star is weird.

It's obvisous it's gonna be one maybe two Noel's song top, it really doesn't matter, the rest of the gig gonna be BDI or LAG.
Liam was the singer of Oasis if he wants to sing some song he made famous, what's the big deal ?
We will all have better gigs, that's the only consequence.

I have a feeling Beady Eye will play 'Rock n Roll Star' and "Cigarettes & Alcohol". I'm stone cold against them playing Noel songs. Stick to LAG Oasis or write better Beady Eye tunes!!! They are better than having to play Noel's songs to spice up their gigs. Beady Eye have plenty of talent to impress the fans who come. Do it.

A so-so second album combined with performing Noel written Oasis tunes at concerts will be Beady Eye's death march. Here is hoping for a blinding sophomore album.

Michael Jackson wrote songs. Elton co-wrote everything: he wrote all the music and every melody.

And that's a different situation with the other two, seeing as they're solo artists and Liam is not. He's in a new band, which is completely different.

This is actually pretty interesting because Beady Eye are in a kind of grey area.

Most beginning bands do play covers. And that's usually because covers are a great way to get your name out there and help people become more familiar with your work. As you go on in your career though, you should be doing less and less covers. Beady Eye are sort of in a grey area because they are technically a new unknown band, yet they're not really new in a sense. And the fact that they use to be in another band and are performing songs that weren't written by them makes it seem even more out of place.

It's the equivalent of Bono leaving U2, starting a whole new band for the purpose of recording and touring, yet still playing Sunday Bloody Sunday (a song that the Edge wrote). It just seems weird. But for some random reason or another, if Bono became a solo artist and wanted to include Sunday Bloody Sunday in a set, it wouldn't seem as out of place.

I think it basically comes down to what a band is suppose to be. A band just isn't a group of musicians, but also a group of songwriters (or one or two songwriters). And they're pretty much expected to write their own music (same as if Bono were a new band of his own). A solo artists doesn't have that same expectation. It's kind of an added bonus if a solo artist can write on their own. So when Beady Eye go up on a stage and play even two songs that weren't by them, but by someone else from their old band, it just seems weirder. Especially when considering that not really a "new" band who absolutely need to play covers not written by them.

That's the best I can explain it. Though it wasn't a very good explanation.

I'll be embaressed for Beady Eye when they start playin' songs Noel wrote! If they had as much belief in themselves as they claim, they'd stay clear of Oasis songs. Think it's all becomin' clear that havin' the high hopes they had for Beady Eye ain't gonna be reached easily if at all.

so long as they give standing on the edge of the noise the ole heave ho, I'll be happy, they also need to liven it up, a set of mostly ballads is OK but can be abit tedius, hopefully the second album will have more rocky tunes so that they don't have to resort to playing oasis songs.
