Best Description of What Liam Gallagher's New Album "As You Were" Will Sound Like in this NME Article

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

Despite last year denying plans for a solo record (“are you fucking tripping dickhead im not a cunt”, he tweeted in January 2017), it’s clear Liam was either bluffing at the time, or he’s since had his head turned. Last summer he inked a deal with Warner Bros Records, part of Warner Music Group, for an album coming in 2017. “Keep the faith!” he declared, when signing the deal. Get ready – Liam season is fast approaching. And it’s high stakes, too – if he makes a pig’s arse of his first proper solo move, he says he’ll “probably fuck off forever.”

Heh, yeah. If Alan McGee truly believed that Liam was going to put out a good solo album, he would have been full-on with the hyperbole. McGee saying something like "it'll probably be very good" more than likely means "Liam's record is likely to be shit."

If, after recording a demo of some songs, one of my bandmates described them as "Proper sparse, really pumping," I would not know if they meant that as a positive or negative.

honestly is there anything that is less culturally relevant than a liam gallagher solo album

blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 25 April 2017 21:24 (six years ago) link

I didn't mind the whole shtick so much when Oasis were on their first couple of albums, but from Standing on the Shoulder of Giants onwards the Gallagher's just looked increasingly delusional. Noel's music these days is the blandest it's ever been and Liam is a has-been that still thinks he's the mutts nuts.

Liam Gallagher reportedly takes a swipe at his brother Noel on his new album.

The 44-year-old rocker has just finished his solo record and one of the tracks, 'Never Wanna Be Like You', is said to be aimed at his older brother, according to The Sun newspaper.

Liam - whose ongoing feud with his former Oasis bandmate is legendary - is reportedly set to release his first single from the new album before the summer in the UK, while he is also poised to appear at a number of big events across Europe over the coming months, including the Reading and Leeds festivals.

Last month, meanwhile, Liam accused his sibling of being fake in a Twitter tirade.

The outspoken rock star slammed Noel for supposedly behaving in a way that wasn't genuine during a trip home to Manchester, England.

He wrote: "See the fake bombing about in his stone island again coz he's in manc he'll be back in his Prada 1st thing tmorrow LG X (sic)"

Speaking of getting a job: Now that his post-Oasis band, Beady Eye, broke up, what does Liam do all day long?
I think he probably is working on, you know, developing the perfect desert boot. You know that thing they have in Switzerland, the Hadron Collider, where they’re just smashing atoms into each other to see what the fuck happens? I think he’s got one of those in his house which is just throwing desert boots at each other, in the hope that they will fuckin’ create some kind of fusion, and out will pop the perfect desert boot that will never be bettered by any other human being.

sick, fucking funny, and well tasty (katherine), Tuesday, 25 April 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link

Liam gave an early interview after a plane incident once in which he explained that he was after a bit of crumpet cos he saw someone else get a bit of crumpet and it looked well tasty that and in his impatience to have some of the tasty crumpet somehow or another air rage happened to the hostess and something about the knowing, leering relish with which he utters the words crumpet and tasty has stuck with me not just in the sounds (which now that i have related thusly will fire around in my head for days most probably) but in a deeply associated pair of sensory flashes viz i) an image of peter cook at his most flaunty flabby dropjawed self-indulgence and ii) the imagined taste in my mouth which i can only describe as seventies pub carpet

Venn diagram of centrist pundits, people sending their kids to private school and people who think that 'well, actually, these days £70k isn't a lot of money...' would be something to see.

The BBC had Tim Montgomerie from Conservative Home and Dan Hodges in discussion earlier - covering all points of the spectrum from 'i am a Conservative who will be voting for the Conservatives' to 'i am a "liberal" who will be voting for the Conservatives'.
