Liam Gallagher's first solo album "As You Were" released 10/6/17

It's definitely not Noel, who's put out three consistently solid-to-great records and played 400 shows without cancelling a single one. He seems happier than he's ever been, and as long as his career is successful, what incentive would he have for going back to his little brother's drama?

I wanted to like Liam's album when it came out, and it's decent, but I haven't felt much need to revisit it in the last year, whereas I still really enjoy Who Built The Moon. I guess if Liam actually booked a more extensive tour and played a show here, I'd have more incentive to spend some time with it, but he'll never get it together enough to play US dates outside the 10 or so major markets, I don't think.

 

This is very much me. WBTM has aged very well, and I find myself still really enjoying it now. I can’t remember when I last played AYW.

 

Nothing unusual I can recall. He led the crowd in a cheering contest to determine whether the last song should be “Wonderwall” or “Live Forever”. “Wonderwall” won easily.

Ha ha. It’s glamorous, but not as extravagant as it sounds. Every September, I spend a three-day weekend in Singapore to see the F1 Grand Prix and the related concerts. Friends and I buy the cheapest ticket (around $200). It’s the best entertainment bargain in the world - they block off a huge area downtown and run the night race through the middle of the city. All the shows are within the race area and are free for ticket holders - this year, I saw Liam, the Killers, Martin Garrix (EDM), Dua Lipa and the Sugarhill Gang. I missed Simply Red.

Air travel within Asia and hotels are cheap if you book in advance. Highly recommended for race fans who live in Asia.

 

LG's -New album should be out for Xmas.
Pretty Green ( in anticipation of 50th Beatles album no doubt) has a White Album themed clothes range.

 

Forget Liam, Noel should patch things up with Damon Albarn, and be on the next Gorillaz album...Oasis and Blur convene!

But seriously, Noel's solo career has more potential for being exploratory and interesting than another round with Oasis.

I hope Noel puts out the Amorphous Androgynous collaboration record that he found "in his sock drawer" recently ha.

WBTM seems to have opened him up to breaking his "formula" and I hope he does that more and collaborates with other producers and artists along the way.

 

That already happened

 

Funnily enough, it just clicked : Liam sounds more like Dylan singing "Slow Train Coming" songs, than Lennon!

 

Very good, I will look for you on the television when they show the race.
I have seen the Grand Prix before firsthand in Long Beach when they did real F1 there in the early 80's. Very loud.

 

He might start recording demos before Christmas.

 

Pretty Green methinks.

 

Shirts | Pretty Green

Some nice shirts on the pretty green site but the prices are ridiculous. I know Liam needs the cash but come on.... They're probably made in a sweat shop for pennies.

 

Maybe that's why their expensive, paid good money to get them made.

 

meanwhile, it is Noel's album that was nominated for this year's Mercury Music Prize (UK's highest critical honor).

he didn't win but...this was his 1st time being nominated since 1995 so...job well done

 

Wait what? What song?

 

"We Got The Power" from Humanz.

 

Still sounds great a year on, c l a s s i c.

As You Were

 

Excellent album has had more plays here over the last year than Noel's.
Looking forward to the new one.

 

I played both As You Were & Who Built The Moon yesterday and both still sound good. However, while AYW has more immediate impact on release, it feels bit stale now.....where WBTM has actually grown on me over time! Some great tracks on there underneath that new sound

Looking forward to next set from the brothers!

 

Wasn't aware Jason Falkner plays bass on Noel's album.

 

Yeah, it took me some time to get in there....especially coming from Chasing Yesterday but now I love it! Watched Noel at Greenwich Music Time earlier this summer and the tracks came out great live as well.

 

Happy Birthday Liam.

Okay, it’s kinda cool, but extremely over priced and pointless. If there’s one thing that sums up Liam’s solo experiment, it’s “Cash-Grab”.

 

Ordered.

 

What an absolute rip off.
