I was offered tickets to see Noel in Bournemouth this year but declined. Didn't feel like forking out £55-odd quid (?) to see him after I saw him and 2012. He was okay then, and I met him afterwards which was incredible, but the gig itself was 'meh'. In fact, I wouldn't even call it a gig, more of a concert. Lots of people standing still videoing it and people you could tell weren't actually Oasis fans, just people who knew the odd song and liked the singles from the first solo album. In contrast with this, I saw Beady Eye 3 times and you can say what you like about Liam's voice, the place was fucking rocking each time. Not wanting to turn this into a Liam vs Noel thing, but its clear that Noel isn't a natural frontman.
