So much is always made about Liam's voice in live performances, so it occurred to me...do you think the band would ever consider using pitch correction on him live? A lot of singers use it for live shows, and as long as your voice can hit notes close to the actual one, it would sound ok. Any thoughts or opinions on this?

No, that goes into the realm of "fuckin' fake".

Personally, that's the reason I will never go and see them live again. It's just too sad to hear these days, especially when you've been lucky enough to see them at Maine Road and stuff.

TBH, you don't really notice Liam's voice much when you're at the show unless its REALLY bad. In any case, the musicianship of the band in its current form is far superior to the Maine Rd. shows. The shows now are of a much higher caliber in terms of the quality of performance itself.

Technically, maybe. In reality, they're not a patch on the earlier gigs. They were doing all this stuff for the first time then and the whole band had an exuberance that they just don't really have anymore. Personally, that's more important to me than whether Gem is a better guitarist than Bonehead, which he undeniably is. It's about a feeling, an excitement, that it is impossible to recapture simply because time passes and things change. I'm not saying an Oasis gig can't be exciting any more, it's just that for me personally it will never measure up to how they used to be.

Man, I would imagine pitch correction live would drive a singer insane. Your monitors spitting out different frequencies than your you hear yourself singing in your head. That's insane.
Also I think pitch isn't Liam's problem. He still hits the notes.

I dont know much about this device, after I read your comment, I just thought, "ASSLEY SIMPSON" on SNL.

Exuberance? With the exception of Noel's exuberance for the Maine Road gigs, from what I've seen, the band were only exuberant for the big stadium gigs. That's not to say that they didn't enjoy the other gigs, but I'd say if anything they were more reserved. Now you go to a show, especially in the US, you see Gem singing along on stage, Noel attempting to look like a guitar god in Lyla, and Liam jumping off the stage to go hug people in the crowd. Last time I remember him doing that at a gig was Knebworth which he admittedly was a bit "up" for...If you think that their gigs today don't have a patch on the early gigs..I'd simply say your wrong. Everything is technically better in terms of the show and performance itself and the band (at least here in the US) has never seemed happier to be onstage.
Also, Liam has no problem with pitch, it's timbre.

I'm only going by my experience of gigs in the UK. Sounds like I should check them out in the US if that's what they're like.

Absolutely! Clearly, the only option is to get tickets for the next NY, Boston or LA show and fly over...

I think Liam might suprise people this next album and tour. It seems like he has settled down quite a bit, and this might translate to better vocals.
Wishful thinking: maybe

Wishful thinking: maybe It would be nice to think so but to be honest I think the damage has already been done by years of fags and the strain his singing style puts on his vocal cords.
