dont see why he doesnt join up with someone else to write his songs, he can put some of his own there, no shame in it imo, many great singers etc have had huge hits not written by themselves or as a co writer.

He needs a talented producer, a multi-instrumentalist who will contribute ideas and sounds but not step all over the core of what Liam wants to write. What Lanois did for Dylan or Brian Eno for Bowie. No Chamber/Robbie Williams bollocks please.

Every song is a chance man.

It's an album full of chances.

Girl in the dirty shirt, that piano man.

If only Liam could write a tune as good as this:

I would be very, very happy with that. Those are terrific songs and his vocals were on fire too.

This thread is a joke

I'm all for an album with songs like 'off at the next exit', 'boy with the blues' etc.
I've said it on here before. A stripped down album with songs like that and an acoustic tour.
Liam would sing great in an acoustic setting and it would be heralded in the press as a return to form.

I don't think Noel or Liam have ever been as high as you must be.

Liam needs TO NOT do anything right now. He needs to go underground and disappear
for a few more years. No press, no Twitter, no nothing. Media blackout. Let some mystery
build over what's going on with him. Let Noel release a few more "play it safe" albums until
almost everyone is fed up with Noel's fear of taking artistic risks. Wait for the backlash over
that to reach its peak and then return to the fray with something that does take risks. It
won't even have to be particularly good as long as it takes chances. BE did that a little but
the timing was all wrong. Perhaps look to Albarn for clues. That guy has been making weird,
loopy, crapola albums for years and totally getting away with it.

But I've gone off track here. What Biblical wants is a great album. No dice. That ain't on
the cards. Not happening. He's capable of something decent enough though. Something a
little better than BE. But can he? Will he? Who knows? Stay tuned. In the meantime blow off
Noel and dig into something that's literally insane like Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica
album and marvel that such a thing ever got distributed by a major label.

Nice to see another with really broad tastes around here. Not a huge fan of
that record myself (Clear Spot and Big Eyed Beans From Venus were more my
speed). I admire its sheer nerve though. One of my first girlfriends read a rave
review of TMR and asked me about it. I told her I had a copy of it and brought it
with me next time I came over. This girl was pretty conservative (a big Crowded
House fan) and I knew she'd hate it. I could've gone to the least weird songs on
it (Ella Guru or Veteran's Day Poppy) but decided to give her the full effect and
just dropped the needle on side 1, song 1 and sat back to enjoy her reaction.
Within seconds she looks at me with a WTF expression on her face and says,
"This is the worst thing I've ever heard." I laughed uproariously and said, "That's
nothing. Wait till you hear The Shaggs." She asked how something like TMR could
get such a glowing review and told me to turn it off. Didn't even last a minute.
Next time I brought over The Shaggs album. She looks at the cover and starts
laughing. I go right to My Pal Foot Foot. She shakes her head, begins laughing
again and says, "You're right, this is even worse than that other one. Much worse."
I reply, "I know. Ain't it great?" "You're a nut," was her answer. Yup, I sez, and
proud of it!

unless oasis get back i reckon this is the last we see of liam making any form of music
