It doesn't mean that he doesn't care about his brother and his former band mates even if he doesn't say anything about them. To me, people are too obsessed with social network such as facebook and twitter these days and every single action you take must be mentioned on internet.

I love both Gallaghers and I support both of them. I remember some people got mad when Liam didn't post his best wishes to Gem on his twitter page when Gem got injured. I believe he did it personally like phone call or visiting him in hospital instead of posting a message on twitter.

Everything we hear/read in paper or radio/TV doesn't mean to be everything and true.
Both Gallaghers are grown up men and Noel isn't the one who would say that he likes Beady Eye records even if he likes them.

Don't understand why Noel has to comment on everything about Liam or Beady Eye??

And you say Noel has to bury the hatchet?? Liam is the one with all the sly digs at Noel.

Agree, just because he does not say it loudly that does not mean he does not like it. Am I wrong or have I read they speak to each other again? Xmas cards will be sent The hate between them is blown out of proportion by media and ppl who like gossip a celebrity fights.

Would be funny though if BE and NGHFB would be on the same bill @ a festival... but I guess that' s never going to happen for various reasons

Did your number one, did you shoot your gun.

Noel has only made a handful of comments directed at Beady Eye. Noel has stated many times he doesn't like doing it because it becomes front page news and it's a lose lose situation for him because the press will try to twist whatever he says. He's allowing Beady Eye to have their moment in the sun.

The few things Noel has said are:

- He thinks DGSS is ok and is familiar with many of the tunes because they were Oasis demos at one point (Millionaire, The Beat Goes On, Kill For A Dream, The Roller, The Morning Son, etc).

- When asked about Beady Eye's next album he said "they fucking need a hit". Which isn't an incorrect statement.

On the flip side, Liam took shots at Noel when HFB came out. First saying he knows the music because he sang them better when they were Oasis tunes (Record Machine, Stop The Clock). He also kept calling it "High Flying Smurfs". Noel then called Beady Eye "Stratford's finest Oasis tribute band" after the Olympics.

Liam should just chill.

He studied . J/k Lennon2217 you know your One of the ones I always read man .

if Noel was to talk about Beady Eye it would kind of 'steal their thunder' ... you know, they don't need (or especially want) 'The Chief's' nod of approval to be a good band. they deserve the chance to let their own music speak for itself and any comments Noel makes good or bad are going to get the attention and not their actual music. so I think he's showing respect by not speaking of it and giving them a proper chance to fly solo

I don't think Beady Eye really want a leg up from Noel to get them some publicity. I think they want to prove themselves without relying on him.

Besides, if Noel doesn't say it's a masterpiece it'll be twisted. It will be taken as an insult to beat BDI with if there is even a hint of criticism. I know that some on this board think it's like the second coming of the White Album...and good for them...but, as someone that isn't head over heels in love with it, it isn't without it's weak spots. I wouldn't shout it from the rooftops as amazing...and maybe Noel doesn't find it that extraordinary either.

It's not an "of course" that Noel thinks that album is amazing but is stubbornly keeping his mouth shut like you seem to imply.

Personally I think it's a good thing to do. If he is nice they start bugging him about a reunion. If he is mean they start talking up the feud. Noel should just keep his head down. He's got everything to lose and nothing to gain from making any sort of comment.

Beady Eye will sink or swim on their own...as it should be. It's not Noel's fault if they don't make it.

I get the impression nothing that Noel could say would please the OP unless it was that BE was the album of the year.

Anything other than that = sabotage.

Interesting that Noel being more-or-less mature about this all for the best part of 3 years = (to him) worse than Liam's blatant vitriol.

To expect Noel to release a press statement or something and campaign for Beady Eye after they branded him boring and Liam said "Noel has got to realize that he is not that good without me" is expecting him to be a much bigger man than I think most are. Let's be honest...Noel isn't Ghandi. If ANYONE but Liam had been the one to insult him like he did they would have been the punch line to every "shit music" joke in Noel interview Keane-style for YEARS.

If Noel had said half the things about BDI that Liam said about HFB...I can't even imagine the backlash. The only reason that 2011-2012 wasn't a blood bath was that Noel barely engaged with BDI.

Even the moderately nice thing that Noel said about a pretty average offering in DGSS didn't really lead to any reciprocal niceness from Liam...or Andy and Gem really.

On the contrary! It's very respectful!

DGSS was mainly made of songs that were not used on Oasis records. I'm guessing Noel didn't like the songs and instead of going in the media saying they're rubbish, he decided (and he said so himself) that out of respect for his ex-bandmates he won't say anything.

Plus, think about how the media is in the UK. Can you imagine Noel saying something like "Not my kind of song" and the next day, all over place "Noel slams Beady Eye, says they're songs are the worst thing he's heard!".

I think it's good that they keep their opinions for themselves.

Granted it's a bit out of character but given he's real good friends with Gem and friends with Chris I'm thinking a little bending of character is appropriate.

That's because he uses the three sea shells.
