Remember this? First time we ever heard anything from Beady Eye. I remember running round my house in excitement.

Remember this? First time we ever heard anything from Beady Eye. I remember running round my house in excitement. I was excited too. I remember counting every moment as it was downloading. And then I played it. My exact words when I heard it "What is this shit?" The people around me looked at me funny because I said it out loud. I was expecting Oasis, I got something very different. I did grow to like the song, but it still is one of the weaker songs of the entire collection in my opinion. I much prefer Four Letter Word and the other stuff. |

Actually makes me quite sad seeing this.
A lot of people take the piss when it comes to Beady Eye and the Noel trolls are always out in force on here, but Liam will always be the biggest influence on me and I loved Beady Eye making music.
Seeing this video for the fist time got us all excited. I just wish I'd been in charge of promoting them. When you look back at the whole project its safe to say its the promotion that killed them.
I'm not saying they'd have been as big as Noel, but releasing the right songs, picking the right songs for albums, no split releases and making proper videos would have gone a long way.

If the first single sounded ANYTHING like this, I would probably have ended up a fan.

When I heard this I was excited to hear the first single with BIG FUCKING GUITAR RIFFS, and we got JERRY LEE LEWIS PIANO.
When I think of BDI I only have one thing on my mind

Sons Of The Stage was the best thing the Beady Eye did. I'm a firm believer on that. This song got me really excited for the band. It had swagger and it was a little different vibe to it. DIV and SOTSOG vibes but more rock n' roll. Great cover sad that the band couldn't top it creatively. Don't get me wrong Beady has some good tunes (none that I'd call great) but Four Letter Word, Wigwam, The Morning Son are good, but this cover was their zenith for me,
This was the type of song that I expected and desperately wanted from Beady Eye.

The Roller at number 31 Personally don't think they were ever likely to trouble the charts but it seemed madness to me that the band/management spent 3 years chasing new fans from an audience that rejected them from day one, yet there are a lot of Oasis fans out there that knew very little about them. |

31 was the highest chart place? Blimey didn't realise it was the bad. Shame they never got the number 1 album spot.

Number 3 and 2 is pretty good for albums. A lot of bands would love for their albums to get that high, its just not very good compared to Oasis. I still rate BE as a really good album, LAG's songwriting just needed a bit more variation. Liam being the best at melody but the worst for creating interesting songs that go somewhere, repeating a verse over and over does not equal a song. Beady Eye was also the best thing that ever happened f0r Gem's songwriting with 'Off At The Next Exit' being up there with anything Oasis did in the 2000's.

1. I'm Just Saying
2. Iz Rite
3. Kill For A Dream
4. Second Bite Of The Apple
5. In The Bubble With A Bullet
6. The Roller
7. Wigwam
8. Soon Come Tomorrow
9. Flick Of The Finger
10. Back After The Break
I still maintain that is a great f*cking album - better than anything Oasis put out post-1995. Maybe they should have waited a couple of years longer and made sure they had enough material for one top quality album rather then spreading it too thin.
Either way, they made some great songs, took some terrible decisions and were ultimately sunk by the fact that not many people were willing to give them a chance.

yeah it has more to do with public perception of the band than the quality of the records, which are decent by nowadays standards, even good records.
Liam should have gone solo from the day Oasis broke up, people saw BDI sans Noel and sans the tunes. It could not work.

Ha my exact reaction too, they should have started strong with four letter word imo |

I keep forgetting that they're defunct. In the back of my mind I'm still like 'wonder what Beady Eye's next single will sound like'.

Cool thread.
I didn't actually get to see this as it happened. The first time I heard of Beady Eye (because I was out of tune with Oasis for some time) was on the radio. It was "The Roller" here on Lightning 100.
They were playing it late one night. Like around 11pm. The DJ said, "That is Liam Gallagher's new song 'The Roller', the debut single from his new band Beady Eye".
That is how I knew. This was like early Feb of 2011 I guess it was?
Cool moment for me. I had no idea Oasis members were doing anything. I hadn't checked in on it all since like 2010.

The whole thing with the Roller at #31 was the first point of atrocious promoting.
It charted at #31 solely on downloads. The next week it went in around the 50 mark on physical copies. So its safe to assume it would have charted around the sort of place that AKA What A Life did for Noel.
Scattered releases are the sort of promotional tactics that One Direction or Nicky Minaj would do to build momentum on a single with promotions on TV etc
Even in the days of Oasis at their absolute peak, they were a band thats singles were bought in the first week and never really stuck around.
The first sign of the ludicrous promotion that stopped this band having any hope of success

The first sign of the ludicrous promotion that stopped this band having any hope of success iiRC the only uk single that didnt went down after the first week was D'You Know What I mean? and that was it, everything else was going down or in the anomally of wonderwall(one year in the charts) that was kept off the top by some novelty song. |

It was #20 with just digital and repeaked up to #20 (I think) 2 weeks later when the physical version was released. |

Tbf that was because they rush released the digital one because of the advert though it did lack foresight |
