Any more news been leaked about the solo album this year ? All quiet on the western front. Various people are asleep. Various people are awake. Other than that, we watch the air move. |

The writing was on the wall with this bastard bloke when he was spouting total fucking bullshit in the President Trump thread in November (who he was in support of I might add). Your predictions are most likely what we'll get - let's say it's an 11 song album, he'll want to perform them so that gives room for just 6-8 Oasis classics. That doesn't give much room for 'deeper cuts' so he'll bring out the big guns I guess. Liam is kinda fighting for his career. As much as I would want him to do his songs, that is the ones he wrote in Oasis, it's not really feasible. He needs immediate interest, and Songbird ain't gonna bring it. He'll need the bigger Oasis tracks. MAYBE he has one "deep cut," but it's completely defensible for Liam not to be thinking about a small group of Oasis fans on a forum, and what they want him to play. Especially because he wasn't satisfied with those same die hard fans' sizes at gigs. It's clear he wants more, and songs that weren't good enough to make an Oasis setlist aren't going to do it. I said it before, but bringing Noel's song into the mix is a very bad idea. Sure it would bring "immediate interest", as you said, but immediate is the key word. It would be a short interest for short attention span people. That happened for Beady Eye and it will happen again. He needs to build his solo career, convince people he can write good songs (which he can) and then go back to Oasis songs in a few years, not the other way around. Sure he will sell a few festival tickets, but he wont be build a new following that way. Or if he wants only to live on nostalgia, record a cover of Oasis tunes and that's it. It's a very complex situation for him as he is not known to be the songwriter, unlike when other big stars launched solo careers. How if he gonna feel at every single gig when people will only cheer for Wonderwall, Live Forever and the likes ? In the long run, he'll feel like shit and give up. That was my Thoughts For The Day |

That was my Thoughts For The Day It isn't a bad idea let alone a very bad one. How many people are not going to buy tickets to see Liam Gallagher because he is playing Noel songs? Hardly anyone. How many more people are going to buy tickets to see Liam Gallagher if he plays a small selection of big Oasis tunes? Probably quite a few. So if he does release a decent solo album not only will more people get to hear it but it will make for a better live show for most Oasis fans and more casual listeners. |

Like I've said countless times before, people are more likely to not return to a Liam gig if he doesn't play 2 or 3 Oasis classics, they will go away disappointed and not bother seeing him again in the future. He needs to find a balance between his songs and Oasis classics but not playing them at all will do him more harm than good.

seems to me like Liam will be playing off his oasis legacy as the manilla gig is labeled "liam gallagher of oasis", I can see him pulling a Noel on the first tour tbh, a near balance of new songs and a selection oasis songs.

It's possible that he is doing the festivals this summer as Liam does Oasis, a bit like Noel still does the odd show with Gem and Terry alongside his High Flying Birds stuff. Perhaps it's a way of getting his name back out there to build interest and earn a few bob before releasing a solo record in the autumn. |

And that's already a lot. Between Better Man, BOADC, songbird, Im outta Time, Boy with the Blues, a couple of Beady eye tunes, you already got yourself a good set... What i fear is a set list with 5 or six news songs and the rest filled with noel penned tunes. that's my point. If he doesn't want to end up like a nostalgia act in 3 years that's the limit : let's say Live forever coz he gave life to this song and maybe DLBIA to piss Noel off, but that's it. |

It is his first tour, he could well play the whole album plus 5 Oasis songs a Beady Eye song and a cover. I'd be happy with that tbh.

Didn't Liam say back at the Supersonic premiere that he will try get the album out for the summer? Think it's further away than we think unfortunately.

I think with the weird nature of the way gigs are getting announced Im starting to lean towards whats been said, maybe hes going to hit the festival scene, play some oasis songs, maybe play the odd new tune, get himself back into a stride then release the album in september. the album certainly wont be dropping until June at the earliest from my view guess it depends where he is with it, he wanted it recorded last year but I wouldnt be surprised if hes still recording it now. |

We can all speculate about everything. Facts are: in August signed a record deal, he has some gigs scheduled next summer. He tweeted an Studio image in mid October. For me, album is done. I don't understand all your hysteria for this lack of official news.It's impossible to know whats management's strategy this time. Nowadays in just a couple of hours you can throw out a song and become huge. So i wouldn't discard a little surprise. At least, before his first gig we will get new music. That's for sure!

Never been so excited over a release of something. I was getting anoyyed since we weren't getting any offical news but now I'm actually glad because 'hopefully' everyone in the Liam camp including Liam are too busy working making sure this is going to work + be successful. Better that than prematurely release something when people aren't ready, patience is key here....

It's not tecnically oasis but to the average punter it would not sound any different. Could start a whole new trend. Damon Albarn sings blur or chris Martin does coldplay. |

I want half the set full of classic Oasis. Oasis are my favourite band and I can't them 'them', so... |
