I think the 90s are the last good decade. Big masses of people in their 30s are dying of nostalgia seeing the lots of shit we are being fed every day.

We are the perfect market that almost nobody is taking care off and Liam Gallagher is the perfect product.

He is still young, he can deliver without looking like a creep.

beady eye shouldve at least been called Liam gallaghers beady eye to purely capitalize on Liams name after the oasis split, forget that its not technically his band aka Noel gallaghers high flying birds but his name means something to people, beady eye could be anybody (and its a shit band name anyhow)



Liam can bring something good from this but he has to get it right, BE was hardly promoted at all (most people probably didnt even know there was a new album some people didnt even know who beady eye were) which should be remedied this time with warner bros and all in all he needs to impress with his vocal because thats been the thorn in his side for a while so its time to impress or go on holiday to ibiza.

beady eye didnt do enough, if he does well in this then that will simply be seen as something that didnt work out but if this is lukewarm too then he will basically live up to the idea that Liam is nothing without Noels songs. I have a feeling his album will be like richard ashcrofts new one, its good but its not amazing (I hope im wrong) Im at least hoping for something that will give Liam enough to build on it and create something of note outside oasis because at the moment thats all hes done of great achievement and that may not come around again. Hope hes got a great lead single to at least turn peoples heads.

simple.

¿What is a legacy? ¿Is a legacy catching the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend?

Thanks.

point is had Liam walked away after knebworth and did no singing ever again, he would probably be regarded as one of the greatest rock n roll singers of all time without much argument....which he still is regarded as such but due to him singing either averagely or below average for quite a long time now people forget how great he was once and with things like beady eye showing that hes not much without oasis it has taken the shine off his "legacy".

problem is Liam is a frontman and bloody brilliant one at that but hes not an all round musician like Noel is nowadays, when you dont have the man writing the songs that worked for him and no longer has the voice to make waves, it probably means that hes not going to strike it big again.

I just hope whatever happens its enough to please him and give him enough to carry on and not quit.

I still feel the best thing for Liam to do is get someone to write his songs and stick to what hes good at but if he feels his songs are good enough then go for it.

It's a legacy that dies with us. Most of the world recognizes no such thing.

I doubt Liam will chart well. But that doesn't mean what he produces is necessarily bad. So long as he turns a profit, I think he should stay positive and continue making music. It doesn't need to be great. The Bee Gees went at it for 20 more years after their popularity nosedived and they still made many albums of noteworthy music despite most of the world thinking they split in the early 80's. Fuck popularity.

Besides, streaming is where it's at these days. Focus on youtube and vevo. If you can get millions of views on youtube, you're doing alright as an artist, especially if you can get in 'trending'.

Also, keep that finished album in tight fists! Avoid leaks. And if it does leak, place it on youtube ASAP (as unlisted until release date) and tweet the link to capitalize on the hype. People will seek out free legal means before they move to illegality. Don't ignore advertising if this happens. Continue as planned. Most people won't realize it leaked. Focus on drawing in new fans.

Also, regarding youtube, Liam should release short clips of some sort, maybe in the studio, or at home, maybe in the mastering process of his new album. Doesn't really matter what it is. Keep us updated on the progress. Keep us interested in what you're doing. Tease us just enough to create a little buzz. Do some Q&A livestreams on youtube. Hell, do a streamed public hangout with some friends of note and just talk about whatever (these are getting more popular).

Connect with your fans. This will draw new people in and satisfy those already supporting you.

Except Richard Ashcroft has had two top 3 singles, three other top 3 albums, and over a half a decade to build a fanbase outside of Verve fans.

Liam's debut, with the right promotion, would be able to hit top 3 in the albums chart, but any long-term success would probably be limited. Unless it's really good and well-received, which I can't imagine happening at this point in time based on his previous output. Of course, we Oasis fans enjoy everything he releases, but it'll be harder to win over everyone else.

He needs a Facebook page.

legacy?
He s a legend, a national treasure
He s LIAM GALLAGHER
