Liam Gallagher has spoken to the current issue of Nylon Magazine about performing Oasis songs in his set.
When asked "What brought about this decision?" Liam said "I’ve seen some artists who don’t play their hits and they have the audience scratching their heads. Playing a new album to people is hard work. Oasis songs are as much mine as they are Noel’s. I’m using six of them to fill out a 17-song set. The way I see it, people are working hard, paying money to see a gig. I don’t want to be standing onstage singing my bollocks off with all new songs and having people going, “I’m not sure about this one.” You drop one old song and the gig goes off. You might as well give them what they want".
When asked whats the response been to your gigs? He said "There’s a lot of love out there. There are more people wanting it to be a success than wanting it to fail. There is pressure, especially from the British tabloids, but it’s pressure I can handle. I’d rather have people scrutinizing me and checking out the music than people not giving a fuck".
Liam Gallagher has spoken to the current issue of Nylon Magazine about working with collaborators on As You Were?
When asked "This is the first time you worked with people other than your old bandmates. What was it that clicked between you and your collaborators on As You Were?"
He said "I wrote “Bold” and “When I’m in Need” and got signed [to Warner Bros. Records] off those two. The record company asked if I had any more songs and I said, “No, I don’t know if I’m ready for a record yet,” and they suggested working with writers, which I agreed to as long as it wasn’t stupid. I met Greg Kurstin and Andrew Wyatt for the first time in L.A., had a cup of tea and a chat about where we were going. I showed them the style I was doing, they got it right away, and we started. I’d be telling lies if I [said I wasn’t] a bit nervous, but within half an hour, it was like I’d known them for years. It was easy—no egos, we just got on with it. We made “Wall of Glass” in a day, “Paper Crown” in a day, “Come Back to Me” in a day. I went back to England and wrote more and it wasn’t a struggle to do this solo thing. As soon as I sang, it felt normal".
Liam Gallagher has spoken to the current issue of Nylon Magazine about the current state of rock ’n’ roll.
When asked "There is little in the current musical landscape that walks a straight line of guitar rock ’n’ roll, which makes for great timing for As You Were".
He said "I don’t know what a lot of bands are doing these days, but they’re not rock ’n’ roll bands and they’re not guitar bands. They’ve got one foot in the dance world and one foot in the guitar world. They need to make their minds up. Rock ’n’ roll guitar music is not trendy at the moment, but it has always been good to me. I’m not doing anything different than I’ve done before. I’ve had time off and it’s made people realise that sometimes you miss what you don’t have. It’s nice to get singing again without all the drama. I don’t mind drama, but to only have full-on drama, that’s no good to anyone". Liam Gallagher has spoken to the current issue of Nylon Magazine about getting on with everyone.
When asked "It’s telling of your agreeable persona that the other members of Oasis followed you—and not your brother—the moment the band split".
He said "I’ve always gotten on with everyone. I can be a bit of a nightmare sometimes, but can’t we all? In the workplace, I’m chill. That’s one of the things that’s good with this album. With Oasis or Beady Eye or Noel, everyone wants to be the producer. Nothing worse than all these wannabe producers telling the producer how it is. I’m just singing, letting the musicians play and letting the producer get on with doing their thing".

Interesting interview about the songwriting process. Looks like Liam was indeed involved. If so, then thumbs up. To be confirmed when we get the sleevenotes

Got to admit i dont like the idea of making songs for the sake of it.
Like we need songs, lets make songs, lets record them.
The songs that really stand out for me so far are Greedy Soul and Bold and i think its because of the subject and you can really tell its from the heart. The others are more formulaic and maybe have better structures and verses but you still cant beat that magic about a song that i think is lacking slightly with FWIW.
