Can't see that ever happening to be honest. As @dreamwalker mentioned before - Beady Eye timeline coincided with a lot of bad shit in Liam's personal life, and the band itself just wasn't as successful as he wanted it to be. I remember someone asking him on Twitter if he would perform "The Four Letter Word" on his solo gigs and his answer was something to the effect of "no, cause it wouldn't feel right".
Also - Andy is doing his thing with Ride, while Gem and Chris are touring with Noel now and we don't know how things are between them and Liam these days.
Maybe there will be one small reunion concert sometime later, just for old times' sake, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Liam made the comment about Noel breaking up oasis then filling half his solo set with oasis songs. Fairplay Noel wrote them but you could apply the same to beady eye. Maybe Liam doesnt really want to use beady eye songs (certainly ones the other members wrote) when Liam called time on the band. soul love is kinda different because Liam wrote that himself and its only one song. Like you say, I have no idea how the relationship is between Liam and andy and Gem. There has been no public contact as far as I know so who really knows if they even get along these days. They might be fine and just doing their own thing. Maybe they parted on less than good terms. I think if these guys get back together its more likely going to be for oasis than beady eye because there is an actual call for that. I highly doubt anyone is really waiting around for beady eye reunite. |

Honestly I doubt if Liam keeps in touch with any ex-BDI members (Andy does his own thing with Ride, Gem and Chris are in Noel`s band and they are friends with Noel now). I remember one of the first "As You Were" era interviews and Liam said he doesn`t miss any of them, he`s purely satisfied with his solo career. I`d rather expect my own death, than reunion of Oasis (let alone Beady Eye)

I know Andy has tweeted him a few times but Noel said something about him ending Beady Eye by text which he could only know from Gem and Chris which would suggest they weren't on good terms |

Andy's got a much better thing going with Ride. I wish he would come out with a book about his years in Oasis and Beady Eye, but creatively Ride is miles better than B.E. Argument that Weather Diaries is the best post Oasis album... |

No, Beady Eye are 100% done as a band. I wouldn't mind Gem or Andy joining Liam live for a song or two, but that's it.
But I'd love if they released some boxset with the 2 albums + demos or some unreleased stuff.

No chance they`ll join Liam while they are the members of HFB, but I agree, I`d really like to hear some unreleased songs, I believe some of them might be better than the official ones featured on albums. EDIT: Of course I mean Gem and CHRIS, not Andy, sorry my bad. |

Live they were excellent, if they did play a gig in London I’d be going.

Andy and Gem to me were nothing more than (albeit rather decent) session musicians and should've been treated as such, they had no part in the Oasis story (the Oasis story that people care about that ended somewhere between Knebworth and Bonehead and Guigs leaving). Their Oasis and Beady Eye contributions were pretty wank too. Gem is a decent, likeable fella, but I can't stand that complete and utter bottom Andy Bell, nor can I understand Liam keeping him around, because he epitomises beigeness. So yeah, that's a no from me to a BDI reunion, and to an Oasis mk2 reunion.

He doesn’t need Gem or Andy Bell. I hope Liam keeps continuing solo - writing and co writing and singing other people’s songs for years to come. He’s in charge now and doing a fucking good job of it too. Debbie prob helping too. As you Were and Shockwave piss all over anything Beady Eye did and possibly the last few Oasis LPs I think.

Main reason why I never want oasis to get back together because it would almost certainly be the line up featuring Gem archer and Andy bell.
lets be honest really, oasis was slowly turning into beady eye after BHN with some Noel songs added in. Gem and andy probably only produced about two or three songs between them that were even worth hearing. Their writings nearly always the weakest aspects of each album.

I’m only interested in Oasis up until Be Here Now. SOTSOG and onwards I’m not that bothered about. You’re right about an Oasis reunion. It would be with Gem and Andy. Gem is a decent player but nothing he did set the world alight did it - just competent playing from them both and the songs they wrote were shocking at best. Bonehead on the other hand, great character and his basic barre chord style suited the sound at the time. I’d love to hear him playing in his old Oasis style again on one of LGs songs. |

I can envision an Oasis reunion being similar to The Stone Roses reunion. Release a couple singles at some point and headline a few concerts here and there. But ultimately keep the main efforts on solo careers.

Would love it, Beady Eye were underrated. If you forget oasis existed and treated them as just another band you may actually enjoy them. BE is a great album minus face the crowd (for me anyways). Start anew is one of my favorite songs ever, would love to see some sort of reunion as unlikely as it is. I'll be honest I hadn't thought much of Start Anew till I heard it again in As It Was, now I'm playing it more than SHOCKWAVE lol |

Sadly, Beady Eye forever will be remembered as a perfect example for every band/musician in the world of what NOT TO DO if you want to get succesful in this business.

They were great as long as they introduced themsleves as "the brand new band", even though it consisted until then-Oasis members minus Noel. Almost in every interview of DGSS era they said they don`t want to play Oasis songs live. And then, 3 years after, they added songs like "Cigarettes and Alcohol" or "Rock`n`Roll Star" to their live setlist like they pretended to be an Oasis cover band or rather "still-Oasis-but-without-Noel"-kind of thing. And that was like a nail in the coffin for them IMO. There is a seprarate topic on that forum about that, I think. |

But ultimately keep the main efforts on solo careers. That’s my biggest fear. The Stone Roses reunion - and I really struggle to call it a reunion - was a mess and a complete embarrassment. That being said, I sadly think you’re right that Oasis would find a multitude of ways to cock up their reunion. |

That would be nice, they probably experimented and recorded a lot of demos between 2009 and 2013, some probably better and less polished than on DGSS or BE. Most probably the demos for BE are also very different since Sitek kinda reworked them. They also even could release the demos Gem and Liam recorded when in Oasis, they dont belong to Noel or Oasis. |

A Beady Eye reunion would be the most random thing ever.
Also I’ll have myself some of the stuff the “finding hidden gems in the unreleased Beady Eye material” fraction is having. Must be the some good shit.
