As You Were is shaping up to be the 3rd best Gallagher album OF ALL TIMES 🥊 Yeah, I said it. After having some time to reflect on this post I have to admit that at the time of posting my judgement was terribly bang-fucking-on the money. |

I don't get the whole not liking Noël's vocals thing.....his voice if anything is inoffensive; actually find Líam's vocals sometimes grating.... Takes all kinds..... Thanks. To each their own. Suffice it to say that if Noel had been Oasis' lead singer, the songs probably wouldn't have caught my attention and I wouldn't have become a fan of the band. Noel is a brilliant songwriter, but I can't listen to his voice for more than one or two straight songs. There's something about his cadence especially in certain songs that make me want to press skip. From the snippets of his third album though, I think I might actually like Who Built the Moon if the focus is more on the instrumental than the singing. Liam, on the other hand, energizes me with his voice whatever he's singing. Though I have friends who can't stand his voice. So yeah, to each their own.
If Noel had been the lead singer of Oasis none of us would ever have heard of Oasis. Not saying for one minute that I don't like Noels solo stuff but Liam's voice and sheer star quality was the reason Oasis got where they did. Nice to see the general public are finally remembering that. |

Liam randomly goes into so many funny voices, it would be fun to hear him on Bedtime Stories for Cynics (Nick Offerman's thing on Audible), a series that features inappropriate children’s stories for adults.

I actually like the way Noel sang in the 90's much more than the way he does it these days. Agreed. DLBIA and all of those loved B-sides, he sang in a way where his voice was, though still secondary, a nice alternative to Liam's, at times beautifully heartfelt sounding - stuff like Talk Tonight always touched me, and I don't think Liam's voice, or better yet his singing tehnique, could manage conveying personal songs like those as effectivelly. I could understand somebody preferring his voice based on this quality, and for those particular tunes, I would agree. But he did not do that consistently, in the 2000s his singing started getting a bit annoying (though my favs from the last two Oasis records are Noel-sung numbers) and it's a FACT that Liam's voice was the main selling point for Oasis. It's what sucked me in, Liam's Maybeeens and garden grooowss from Live Forever (that whole fucking tune is ... speechless), the uniqueness of his voice, the brilliance of his WW vocal. Early on when I wasn't aware of the brothers, listening to Oasis as Oasis and assuming it's the same singer, I would skip DLBIA after Noel's first few lines because I thought "man the singer voice sounds different on here" and not liking it (I may sound stupid but fuck it, I didn't know the background of the band haha - once I played through I immediatelly loved it and started learning about the brothers). This is coming from a 19-year-old 2-year Oasis fan who happened to hear Live Forever and go "who the fuck has that voice" (for some reason I imagined the singer looked like Robbie Williams haha), slightly put off by the wall of sound and the "fly / die / see / me" simplicity of the lyrics, but who kept on listening to the song and discovering new ones, just because I loved that random singer's voice so much. Long removed from Oasis's hayday, knowing nothing about the band, zero bias. What brought my 17 year old self is what brought in the 17 year olds and everyone else when Oasis blew up. |

People start speculating about the approximate sales figures in the UK, and so far their guesses are well into 60-70k copies. Meanwhile in Poland he will have a hard time to sell at least one thousand copies. I just want him to succeed in the Polish charts so he might come here and play a gig for the Polish madferits (as scarce as they are nowadays) for fuck's sake!  |

www.nme.com/news/music/liam-gallagher-bald-wig-2145594I don't get what he means here about Keith Richards '68 era hair looking like Elvis??!!! Elvis had a quiff! Looked absolutely nothing like Keith's - which looked Godlike. Also is this an old interview, as Liam says he himself had Keith hair a couple of month ago but had it cut off. I'm pretty sure Liam's had a short haircut the whole summer since he went solo to the public in June.

Keith definitely had it in '68, while Elvis went for it after his comeback concert. Not exactly alike, but similar massive heads of hair. Both Gallaghers are clearly worried about balding. Noel's said he'd shave it all off if he started balding, while Liam says he'd wear a wig. I'm with him, honestly. No shame in not wanting to broadcast bullshit rolls of the genetic dice. |

Those more able to grow facial hair are more vulnerable to the evils of balding - according to summat I read or dreamed once. Either way, you can’t polish a butcher’s dog. |

Fair fucks to Warner managing to keep this album from leaking. Painful for some of us but they’ve done well by Liam.

Liam has made a very safe album without making it as dull as Noel's first solo effort.

Beady Eye was just a Reflektor. Debbie Gwynther is The Resurrektor.

Liam has made a very safe album without making it as dull as Noel's first solo effort. Solid melodies and good production is something we have lacked hand in hand since forever as Oasis/Gallagher fans. This has both. Noels had both but could, like you say, get slightly dull at times. |

Listening to "Come Back To Me" on repeat. Since it's Greg Kurstin co-written song he played all the instruments on it and I like how he's channeling his inner Tony McCarroll there - simple beat interspersed with simple fills. Sounds fucking mega!  |

I'm really loving this. Nothing makes me smile ear to ear quite like a new "Oasis" album.

Before coming to the US, I used to teach English as a foreign language in my native Venezuela. Today, Liam's FB page posted his NME cover, and one of my former students, whom I taught from scratch, posted "Liam, I need you between my legs!"
Excellent sentence structure, proper spelling. Kinda proud, me.
