Don't think twice, it's alright........

Both their records aren't too bad, considering the shit music we get today. But i guess Liam couldn't be bothered to tour for such a small audience, his ego in the way and all that. He need to sort his life together and realize he's made huge mistakes.

Liam solo album coming your way 2015/2016. He just has to do it. Low key, raw, whatever. But his own.

Liam is going to be on the next cover of NME next week. The headline was "O little brother where art thou" and "Over to you Liam". So maybe this break up wasn't all that sudden, probably going to hear his next move or something like that in that issue. Has the scans surfaced yet?

I'd be on board with this for sure. Not an Oasis reunion. But a Gallagher reunion. Gallagher's making Gallagher music. Nothing better.

It would be like Chris and Tony Griffiths making their music with The Real People.

this section's as busy as it's ever been - in Southeast Asia we'd call this kind of thing bad karma.

God bless.

That´s really sad. Just been listening to Beady Eye this morning

I also don´t really get why Liam "announced" it. When they need a break, they would do it without splitting the band up. So maybe there is at least a plan for Liams future (or/and Gem and Andy)

Well that was somewhat unexpected. Can't let Noel hog all the limelight, eh?

Unless they reunite (or Oasis do) I can see him taking a few years off before coming back with a solo album. I personally think he's a better song writer than both Gem & Archer however it does seem that at times he needs others to 'embellish' his work, either musically or lyrically. Hopefully he'll work with interesting people either solo-wise, or as a new group.

Likewise. I think Beady Eye did well. The first album was Oasis outtakes (don't say you wouldn't have wanted to hear them! maybe in a box set) then second was a much more well developed effort with some great tunes. To me, BE (barring a couple tracks) is as good as any post 2000 Oasis album. And that is a good thing.

I also consider myself fortunate to have seen them live a few years ago.It was an amazing performance, with the band really trying to do their best and prove their salt rather than coast on past successes.

Whatever happens next, I hope Liam, Gem, Andy and Chris are feeling positive like its a fresh start. Start Anew, right?

It can't solely be because of tanking commercially, and poor album reviews and sales.

Let's use The Twang as a case study. As you well know, I like The Twang, but admittedly never lived up to their potential. Even their hyped debut album back in 2007 only got mediocre reviews, and each album after tanked - you'd e even hard pressed to find a handful of reviews from their 2013 album, such is how irrelevant and supposedly dire they have become.

And yet, they've made four albums over the last seven years, and are still together, and will probably release their fifth in a couple years time.

Maybe the interest within BDI just simply waned, perhaps as a consequence of not being successful enough. Or perhaps Liam's private life got too entangled, recently. Or maybe some of the other members wanted to move on, for whatever reason. And I don't dare mention the "R" word again in this thread. But for album sales alone? Nah, there's more to it than that....

Many Oasis fans slagged off Beady Eye, but besides sticking to the safe acoustic songs and having one the worst band name in rock history. The band wasn't bad and had solid tunes. The last promo of their album BE was a disaster.

Many fans ignoring Liam's mid life crisis. Let's face it, the man is having a major one. Liam younger than most men of having one, but most don't experience the amount of success Liam had at a young age. His career is muddle state. Noel is right saying Liam is more emotional one compare to himself. Liam has been on this kick since 2009. It will stop once he finds a spot of happiness.

Gem is a talented guitarist, but I really hope not to see him in NGHFB to be honest. We all know Noel loves Gem.


MCCA was driven near insane status in Let It Be album over control. Rest of the band hated MCCA wanting to film the recording process of the album.

Must admit am shocked...just for the timing really, just seems so out the blue so to speak. However, considering how Liam had stopped following Andy and Gem/Lou etc after everything with Nicole happened, I felt it was only a matter of time. I wouldn't be surprised if tensions had grown within them all after the cheating came out and it's led to this

I'm not discounting the good tunes they did come up with, and I'm not joking when I say this:

But Sons of the Stage was the best thing they did, in my opinion. It had a real Oasis vibe to it, and I wish Oasis not only covered it, but wish they actually wrote it, too. It's perhaps my favorite Oasis-related cover, after Cum On Feel the Noize (which is insanely epic, it must be noted).
