It would be great if this release is true. But time will tell. But yes, it's a bit weird releasing it on the same day as Come On You Know.

It's a good idea, as many of the people that attended would probably want or get one for Christmas, a sizeable number.

What the hell does this even mean.

Hmmm, could you maybe link an example of an interview you’ve seen where he talked as if he had written most of the songs on the 2nd album? Such is my obsession I'm afraid that I’ve seen/read a large number of interviews in the last several years…and I have never once seen Liam come across like that. Totally the opposite.

Liam in The Guardiian: “Ideally, you want to do it yourself,” he said. “But I can’t write those fucking big songs. I’m limited. My verses are up there, but I just can’t do that next bit."

Liam in Entertainment Weekly: “I love music, full stop. I’d love to be able to write a whole album, but that’s just not the way it is. I don’t really sweat over it. I just want to be a part of good music. I’m not into music to make money. I already have enough money. So I’m not one of them persons who go out to write a song because I need to get a publishing deal. I couldn’t give a f–k about that. I just want to make good music and get out on the road and play good music to the people who come to the concerts and that’s it.”

Liam in Paste: While many people are probably itching to hear an album entirely penned by “our kid,” Liam just doesn’t think his writing skills are up to snuff. “I’ve tried,” Gallagher says. “It wouldn’t happen. I’m good at verses. I can bang out verses all day long, but when it comes to the choruses, I need someone else to do that. That’s only because of the guitar playing really, so I prefer to pass it on for the choruses.”

He's constantly saying he’s relied heavily on Kurstin and Wyatt and he’s constantly saying he doesn’t believe he can write an album (or at least not the kind of album he'd like to make) on his own. I can see how you might disagree with him or think he hasn’t tried hard enough, but I can’t see how he is lying.

I totally respect that you find it distasteful that Liam works with “industry writers.” For me, it is what it is. It’s really hard to imagine how Liam could just have teamed up with another band after having had the Oasis experience and he felt he wasn’t going to get there completely on his own, so he found a way.

Also, though I made a silly joke about it, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with dreaming of him 100% writing an album. Maybe he will. Life is full of unexpected turns. I’d love to see it happen.  

But I just don’t think it’s fair to say he has taken credit for others’ work unless you can produce an example.



This still won't be good for ol' Andy Morris

He did Rockin' Chair acoustic for the roof session at Radio X, and I genuinely loved it.

Why is it “rightful” that he’s denied permission? We could have MTV Unplugged and Down by the River blu rays, and Noel would get the songwriting royalties, but he’s just being spiteful instead.
