It was 12 years ago yesterday since Beady Eye released their Four Letter Word single. It still remains one of their best songs to this day.

I have no Beady Eye thoughts for today. Perhaps that's for the best.

I briefly touched on Beady Eye when revisiting Oasis and the solo projects recently. I still really like how good Back After the Break and Off at the Next Exit are but also hate how awful Don't Brother Me and Shine a Light are (I didn't even touch a lot of DGSS). I do like how interesting Don't Brother Me is sonically, same with Second Bite of the Apple, but it's just very meh.
Couple of songs that escaped me somehow are Flick of the Finger and Soon Come Tomorrow. I really like those two. Soon Come Tomorrow has a badass guitar solo in it. I'm Just Saying tries really hard to be a cool Oasis throwback but the vocal melody is underwhelming enough to let everything down. Face the Crowd also feels like Four Letter Word part two, but FLW is good for one go-around, not two.
Other than that, there are some good tunes (The Roller, The Morning Son, Start Anew, Evil Eye, Iz Rite off the top of my head) but Beady Eye just wasn't worth their salt. I look at how well Liam is doing now with his solo career and just find it hard to go any deeper into BDI.
BDI does make me appreciate how good Andy was when he was finally let loose but it also makes me dislike Gem more, especially looking at his Oasis songs and how they're consistently some of the weakest, pastiche stuff from 2000s Oasis.
No less, I'm glad Andy is back with Ride and Chris (and Gem for that matter) is with Noel. It worked out well. Thankfully. BDI was a mess.

Gem dis write off at the next exit probably the best Beady Eye track. |

Gem dis write off at the next exit probably the best Beady Eye track. That is very true. He was good for a couple hits here and there (To Be Where There's Life and Eyeball Tickler, The Roller too) amid some of the misses, and meant well above all. |

Beady Eye's Gimme Shelter might just be the best cover the Gallaghers have ever been involved in. It just couldn't get any cooler, especially with the voice Liam had at the time.

It's ok I guess but I certainly don't think it's the best cover the Gallagher's have ever been involved in especially Beady Eye and I think their cover of Sons Of The Stage is much better.

By the way, what were they going for with the effects on Liam's vocals on Standing on the Edge of the Noise? Makes it a tough listen, even though the song itself isn't bad.

The weakest song on the album for me, but some good vocals here.

I remember people slandering this performance. Listening to this again after a while - this isn't terrible at all, in fact, I kinda like it. I think the song is just generally disliked.

I remember this performance too but I haven't watched it for a while though. But from what I remember it wasn't a bad performance at all. |

As much as I try, I find that anytime I try to listen to Beady Eye it somehow depresses me.

IIRC, Flick of the Finger was released around this time exactly 10 years ago.
I listened to it today when it came up in a random shuffle and it still sounds fresh. Still among my favourite post-Oasis tracks.
