I think he's definitely got the presence and the talent to launch a solo career. I'm just not sure whether he'll ever actually want to.

I was responding to someone who suggested he do a 60s covers album! And expressing what the press's likely response would be, not my own. I agree an album of co-written songs could be great. I know, Im just saying people seem to think he would have to write the songs purely by himself to prove to people that he can do it without Noel but it doesnt matter, if he wants to cover a well known song and put his own twist on it or use the aid of a songwriter then great, its realizing your own weaknesses and dealing with that, Noel cant so certain things, so doesnt do them, simply writing and releasing a whole record by yourself just to prove a point isnt going to do you many favours if the songs arnt good anyway, people will just pass over it, they wont be giving him brownie points for writing it himself, they will just say its "not as good as Noels stuff", he might get snide comments if the song is good "well he didnt write it himself" but the song is good so no problem. I'd just like to hear that voice again, the song doesn't matter. It's wasted serenading Debs from the shower...

I think he's definitely got the presence and the talent to launch a solo career. I'm just not sure whether he'll ever actually want to. I think theres a number of factors in it, one is the settlement with Nicole, from what I remember, the verdict was based on him saying he isnt going to return to music so if he is to come back then he might have to start forking out more money. 2 would be success imo, theres no point in doing it if hes not going to get much from it, I cant see him doing anything better than Beady eye unless he did do something with someone else. I personally dont think he will launch a solo career, its basically oasis or nothing now, its probably why Liam has been getting so angry on twitter over Noel because in his mind, its all hes got left fall back on and Noel doesnt want to do it because his solo stuff has gone over well. as the song goes "you don't miss your water till the well runs dry".

John Lennon released an album of covers... Liam's life is based on him ripping him off, which isn't a bad thing, he shouldn't feel degraded about Releasing an album of covers too...

But the difference is, that it was not lennons debut. And a cover album as a comeback is not a good idea in my opinion.

That was his sixth album though after well establishing himself as a successful solo artist. Sorry, but I think the British press would tear Liam apart I he came back with a covers album.

That wasn't by choice either. "Liam's life is based on him ripping him off". So he should continue doing that and release an album of 60s covers? He would get absolutely slaughtered. SLAUGHTERED. Beady Eye got slaughtered for sounding like a 60s band and being derivative, so did Oasis at times. Releasing an album with, and it's really about these two words, SIXTIES COVERS is probably not a good idea. I'm all for an album completely written or co-written by someone else though. Something great and modern sounding. But yeah, the comments about Liam not being able to write something on his own, or his material being compared to Noel's are probably inevitable.

Liam is in a pretty bad situation. His failure (or perceived failure) with Beady Eye makes him such an easy target right now. What exactly are his options? - write a solo album: unless it's much better than Beady Eye, which is unlikely, he'll be ripped apart. - release a covers album: torn to pieces either way. - co-write an album: that was Beady Eye, wasn't it? Unless he gets a big name it's unlikely and even then he might not get the credit.
Unless he somehow miraculously turns into someone capable of writing hit songs on his own Liam's best bet really is waiting for Noel to get bored and accept a reunion. Anything he does now will be compared to Oasis or at least HFB (Beady Eye always were) and that's not a comparison he'll ever make it out of favorably.

I wish Liam made at least a guest appearance with some bands, like he did with Death In Vegas. I know this is far-fetched but imagine if Liam borrowed his vocals with Stone Roses

I personally think he will come back one day. However, what (I hope) he could be doing is simply building up a catalogue of good songs to release. He knows that Beady Eye were, at best, decent. Over his song writing career he has probably got quite a good "greatest hits" compilation. However that is stretching back more than ten years.
If it means waiting another 5/6 years for him to build up a whole load of good songs (rather than just release average ones he has written in two years) then so be it.

He should do an albums worth of swing versions of Oasis classics and call it "Swing With It"
Or Some Might Swing
Or Don't Swing Back In Anger
Or better yet... Definitely Swing

Yes but there is a difference in doing a cover as part of a 'supergroup' type line up for a one off appearance on a well publicised television show's comeback (maybe Chris Evans should have stuck to doing TFI given how TG has gone) and recording an album of covers as your debut solo release. Also Liam has sung that song since 2000 with Oasis.

Covers can come off like the below, and from past experience, it seems Liam (and Oasis) never deviated far from the original recording of a song which is a bit dull. That being said, I have no issue with other people writing the song - Liam for the bulk of his career was someone who was handed the song to sing. If he did an album where people that like his work wrote songs for him, I think that would be more than fine. Keep in mind the VAST majority of the songs you hear on the radio are written by someone other than the artist.

Judging by the physical changes he seems to have gone through in the last few months, I think that Liam will make a "comeback" soon. I am not sure whether this means he'll release new music but there will be SOMETHING, I believe, because getting in shape usually means Liam is going to step back into the public eye, so...
