I wouldn't expect them to myself, they were hampered in many ways by the "Oasis minus Noel" tag that certain elements of the media foisted on them, and I can't see that changing if they did reunite, nor would there be a realistic reason for a reunion to be the start of a revival in significant back catalogue sales, etc.

Liam himself if he does anything musically will be with a reformed Oasis for touring, or a solo career for new material. That said I still stand by what I have said that with the ongoing success of his non-musical projects he may well not bother with music again professionally unless he can prepare himself for a final pay day style tour with Oasis.

Andy obviously is enjoying a renaissance with Ride and DJing again, whilst Gem has been relatively quiet bar the Noel appearances. I do wonder how his health is after those BE era injuries, and whether perhaps he is more inclined or even forced by medical reasons to take a more back seat or part time approach to his music career.

Chris Sharrock has a name in the business as a sessions drummer as well as a band member, and it wouldn't be a stretch to see him behind the drums for either a periodically reforming Liverpool band like Shack or The La's (his one time outfit), or on stage with another big name artist such as when he drummed as part of Robbie Williams band.

It is possible that with an Oasis reunion there may be guest slots a la Taylor/Wyman on Stones tours after their respective stints, but IMO there wouldn't be the demand or financial reward to make a Beady Eye reunion worth it.

They only split up a year ago. Doubt they'll ever get back again. There's a reason they split.

I still think it unlikely but maybe a few shows in a few years time.

Sorry mate when I was replying I thought it was going to go under the OP's post! It was his mention of success in regard to Liam solo I was referring to.

No. Simple as. It was a expirement and although some liked it , it did not get the reception Liam is / was looking for .... would I be opposed ? No , I was never a fan but if Liam wants to do it. He earned that right ...... He just seemed really disgusted in the fact it didn't take off like he thought , so I can't see him going backwards. And there certainly is no clam our for a reunion , outside of some on the forum

I wonder this myself really, I might be wrong but I believe andy took lead after Gem was injured? I just get this feeling with Gem that his injury was a big reason as to why they packed it in, not because it stalled the momentum but maybe Gem was still in poor health and either couldnt or didnt want to continue on as a guitarist in a full touring capacity.

I didnt really know what to make of him at the bbc radio gig, he looked ok I guess but something looked off about him (maybe its just me)

suppose we dont really know on what terms they all parted in the end, I doubt gem and andy wouldve been totally fine if Liam really did just say he wanted to quit.

I think it's a combination of factors and that music, or rather the success (or lack of success, depending how you look at it. Not going into that now) was a factor. Gem's injury too, but not because it stalled momentum, but maybe because he couldn't or didn't want to continue, like someone else said.
Very likely that Liam's private life was a factor as well.

Anyway, those aren't reasons to split up, right? Could have taken a hiatus. And if Liam's private life was the thing that made them split, then a solo career definitely won't help.

Anyway, one can only speculate and I don't know, obviously.
Has any of them ever explained why they split?

I don't see it happenning, but I would LOVE a Beady Eye reunion.

What pisses me off so much is how they let it fizzle out. Yea, album 1 didn't do much but they gave it their best.

Album 2 was a great album but shit beyond their control happenned and they just gave up.

FUCK THAT.

Give us Album number 3!

I'm just trying to put myself in there position. I think Gem's injury took the wind out of there sails and set them back after they all seemed really geared up for it and Liam's fuck up must have put stress not on their relationships as individuals but on them as a band with the wives obviously all being friends I can imagine it changed the atmosphere considerably, especially with new girlfriend in tow and not knowing how much influence she had, maybe none.

Liam would probably have been told by his lawyers that the coming battles might last a long time and a darkening of the atmosphere may have made him think better of continuing.

I'm not saying the music wasn't part of his decision I just think there were bigger things going on at the time. I'm no doubt way off the mark.

You know, I agree. If they can put out more tunes like World Outside My Room and Flick of the Finger, I'd be more than happy to hear them. The only Beady Eye gig I saw was a terrific, high energy experience.

i'd say there's zero chance, unfortunately.

With some distance now away from the brand, I wouldn't want them to. Splitting was probably the best thing to happen to Beady Eye.

Now they're not carrying dead weight, they can actually attempt something in the music world that will have a chance for success. They blew it with DGSS. Everything after that was always going to be inconsequential.

If they want to reunite as a different band with a different sound other than the 60's revival rock, then that would be cool. But they'd still be called Oasis 2.0 by the media and that would hurt them just as it did with Beady Eye.
