A year, 2, 3 ? Do we all expect a solo record ? To be honest, this collaboration idea doesn't speak to me as something Liam would be into at the moment. But then again, if he wants to go solo he needs a solid material, as i recall his joke, it took him 15 years or something to finish I'm Outta Time so i'm just wondering how things are gonna be in this situation  |

I think 2 years from now he'll be in the studio.
I just hope he takes enough time. He always seems the most impatient one to get things done and get it out there.

Unless Oasis reunite, I don't think he'll do anything musically ever again... I just can't see it

Hopefully, from a fans point of view, the recent events in his life will bring out the best on his creative side of life. I doubt we'll hear anything for next few years though. Maybe he'll have a handful of great tunes for the Oasis reunion?  <3 |

I wouldn't mind a solo record, I would definitely buy it, but I'd be very suprised if he could write a whole album on him own.
I'd rather the songs appear on Oasis' new album, even though we don't actually know if he has written anything after Beady Eye broke up.
The worst thing he could do is just become a 'guest star' everywhere.

The first and most important thing he needs to do is focus on his voice..he needs to improve it and see if anything can be done to at least repair some of the damage.
Secondly if he's gonna make a solo album he needs to take it very seriously and not just put something out for the sake of it. Beady Eye had some really good songs on both albums, and Liam's capable of writing some great music when he puts his mind to it..these things take time and effort and I think he'll be able to see that if he's willing to put his heart in it.
A few guest stars can definitely help him the the album but I dont want to see him selling out either. I like the sound of DGSS and BE, I dont like Noel's new stuff so far at all and i'd rather he doesnt release anything if it isn't going to be 'Liam'

Man, hadnt realised we were so pessimistic about him. Imagine if he starts getting fatter, balder and end up like one of those sad old geezers at the pub saying, you know, i was in a very successful band some 50 years ago...

There's always the possibility of starting another band. There was an interview once, when Beady Eye started, where he said, he's always gonna be recognized as "Liam from Oasis" even in this new band and if there was a another, a third band, it would still be like that and he does not have a problem with that because he's not running from his past, or something like that.
I'll take whatever comes, but I just don't see him as a solo artist. He always seemed so much more into the idea of being the singer in a band and not the singer with a backing band. Of course, circumstances and people change.

Forming another band will always be compared to Oasis or Beady Eye. What would set the band apart from those previous times? Obviously the songs are much different. |

I think it would be an absolute tragedy if we didn't hear Liam's voice on record until any sort of Oasis reunion. Even if he releases an album that's only half good it wouldn't bother me if the alternative is to hear nothing at all.

Might as well get that solo career going because an Oasis reunion looks bleak.  |

I think he could do whatever he wants under whatever outfit and name and he will always be compared to Oasis, Noel etc. and most likely not favourable. I don't think it would make a real difference if it's as a new band or solo. Maybe even worse solo. "Haha, look at that, the stupid xxx thinks he can emulate his talented brother". So if he wants to do something, he should do it just for the hell of it and for getting on a stage, where he belongs, even if it is a small one. Being rich and famous enough to be guaranteed media interest, if anyone has the means, he has. But then, we'll just have to wait and see if there will be anything coming from him. |

Liam should just collaborate and put out the odd single or EP here and there assuming he doesn't have an albums worth of songs in him (he's never even been close to proving this)
A full album of Aint Got Nothing's / Meaning of Soul's will surely kill him off forever!

If Ringo could do it, so can Liam. |

If Ringo could do it, so can Liam. Liam Gallagher and his All Star Band Ringo had a ton of solo success right after The Beatles broke up. #1 albums and singles. Sure he got a ton of help by Lennon and Harrison writing songs among others but so what. Final product was solid. |

He was the first of them to have a #1 too, with Photograph I think, which led to John sending him a letter which said "Congratulations, how dare you? And please write me a hit song!" Lennon was the last of the 4 Beatles to reach a #1 position with his solowork, strangely enough. |

Chart entry really means little. Longevity is better. |

I'd love for Liam to go solo, but I can't see it being any more financially successful than Beady Eye. It might even be less so. Who knows, maybe a full album of Liam tunes would actually be great? Or maybe it would be more worth it since he's getting a bigger paycheck than he would if he had 3 other main members.
Either Liam has to adjust his expectations for success, join another band, feature on Noel's next record on a few tracks or wait for Noel to get bored with HFB and reunite Oasis.
I'd prefer the solo album out of those choices.

Of course, circumstances and people change. I think it's possible to have your name on the cover and still have a steady band that you can chum around with and have some of that comradery that Liam obviously loves. Sure the balance of power would be prodominantly in Liam's corner. But Liam is a big enough name and profile that that would be the case with pretty much any group that he joined or put together. I think Liam probably would, at least in the beginning, benefit from having steady musical collaborators in his life. |

I just hope he takes enough time. He always seems the most impatient one to get things done and get it out there. I'd say that is what really killed Beady Eye. Remember when he hyped DGSS, calling it as good as DM and the best album of the next 50 years? He was really thinking that at the time, now he admits they should have taken more time to write stronger songs...with another few months of songwriting, BE could have been much better as well. The worst thing would be a rushed solo album full of mediocre songs. I'm having trouble imagining him going solo at all tbh - he's the perfect frontman for any band, but just "Liam Gallagher" or "Liam Gallagher's Somethings"? Seems weird. I hope he takes his time for a solo album, maybe until 2017 or 2018, and has a solid plan. Guest appearances would definitely help. I wonder if he has been writing songs since BE (which would be about two years now - lots of time to write new stuff) or if he has been resting... |
