0 clearly... a long time ago. now, its an important part.

There was a lot of talks about liam losing his voice in later oasis days and Beady Eye, and its obvious that they brushed the voices on solo records even more to appeal to a wider audience that could have been put off by the "imperfections";

We live in a world where now being a bit off in music is considered a flaw. Younger generation is accustomed to over the top polished recordings, due to the downfall of rock n roll music, which was the music that put personality over everything else.

I'll take the Celine Dion at the olympics example again. its been praised because she is singing "perfectly". If they didn't correct the take for a more live take, it would have been taken down badly, on youtube and stuff like that. It can go bad very fast with people in need of click, views and likes;

This is the days were are living in. Everything needs to be perfect : skin, hair, legs, voice, you name it; It doesn't matter if its genuine or not, all that matters is that it has to be (apparently) god-like, angel-like, no dust, no stain.

Nowadays you wouldn't get the chuckle on Maxwell's silver hammer, for instance. Its all down to that;

i'd even argue that part of Beady Eye failing on their second record is because of Liam's vocals, that are more live like than anything he's recorded before, or in a long time. When you listen on headphones, its pretty obvious that his vocals are way less manipulated than on Oasis records or his solo albums (but that doesn't mean autotune was not used, it probably was, but in a smart and subtle way);

They sound sometimes a bit off, a bit too close to the mic, level sometimes are too high; I love it, but it was absolutely hated on here and elsewhere; Soul love especially, which is one of my fav liam track ever, its basically a live take. It feels like it. Its bounces up and down, you are in the studio with Liam. You can even hear him take his breath on some tracks, which is basically the first thing you cut even on demos ! most vocals tracks also seem to be one take throughout the songs, although that needs to be proven. Its very linear, it makes sense and you feel the voice going through the song and being a bit tired in the end (although not on all tracks, but back after the break, Soul Love and ballroom Figured or start Anew for instance); You can hear Liam's voice has been waiting for the next line, he is there in the song, he embraces it. Its not copy and paste. Some are disastrous though: Second bite of the apple, face the crowd and Soon come tomorrow being the worst.

This is one of the reasons why i cant enjoy much Let's all make believe for instance: Vocals are too much cut, copy and pasted from various takes, and it sounds like a collage of take 1, Take 5, Take 20 and so on. And not in a good way; You can clearly hear its been too manipulated to be human-like;

Liam agrees Noel should be writing all the tunes.

Or rather, square pegs in square holes!

Liam should sing them, Noel should write them.

Soul Love enters the room, then Songbird holds the door, Born on a Different Cloud is kinda late but is there and they all disagree !

"I hummed a few bars and let Sardy take care of the rest. Might be the best I've ever done. It's out next week. -GD"

Come on, Noel, you know you like doing your falsetto thing. Cover MJ's "Thriller", you coward.

It’s out in 8 months, pre-orders open now. 15 splatter vinyl variants to collect.

I’d love a new album but I don’t want more than 1 new song to make the setlist for next summer.

Summer 2025 is all bangers all the time.

What is Liam referring to, for those of us not on X

Think there will be one or two new ones thrown in to promote the new album if it arrives, the majority will probably be MG era.

Seriously, that’s the name of it ? Impossible to ever work anything out with Liams one word answers/clues , probably cause he’s not aloud to say.
