I can't pretend it doesn't get me down the fact that, despite being 50 years my senior, Ronnie Wood still has much better hair than me... You know Ronnie Wood wears a wig, right? Oh. Really? Wigs give me the heebie-jeebies. I think I've got a very slight phobia of them. You should know guigsysEstring, I've got nothing against bald noggins. But somehow, when those noggins are covered by bits of old carpet, to try to disguise what they are, the very thought of them makes me sick to the stomach. I know it's only a similar sort of thing to people covering up blemishes with make-up, but for some reason, it's never sat right with me.

Great interview and so glad the living legend is back! Just focussing on the two new tunes mentioned by name in the article, "Greedy Soul" and "Bold"... Ted mentions that he wrote down some lyrics during his interview (slash) booze session with Liam (namely "U didn't di what I was tol") in relation to the song "Bold". Based on those lyrics and the footage we've seen of Liam in the pub last year playing a song with similar lyrics, would I be right in assuming that "Bold" is that tune?

I don't blame you to be honest, but I can see it from the viewpoint of someone like Pierce Brosnan or Ronnie Wood in that it is as much about the character as an actor (a bald Bond? ) or in Ronnie's case the carefree every young in spirit rock n' roller. As I said in another post Patrick Stewart was nearly contracted to wear a syrup in Star Trek, whilst Michael Stipe is the only NME type endorsed front man I can think of who has had major success as a bald man. Each to their own I suppose but I personally see it as with all cosmetic surgery that is vanity as opposed reconstructive based, so not my thing. As to me it actually works in my favour as people don't expect the accountant or when I meet with suppliers retailer to be over 6' with a shiny bald head and a boxing physique!

I read the interview and I really have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I'm really happy Liam got his life back and found the motivation to record new stuff. All good, nothing to comment on that. Plus he comes across as a funny and likeable guy during the first few pages... Then the talk about Noel starts. To put it bluntly, Liam reminds me of a friend who got dumped by this girl years ago and is still obsessed about her. He needs to fucking move on. I find it really ironic that Liam calls Noel out on his massive ego (which he has, by the way) when that is the main problem that keeps Liam from being satisfied, really. He could easily embark on a solo career (he had the best songs in Beady Eye), record an acoustic-based album and play acoustic shows with a band in small venues. His songs are suited for that and he could put on good performances as he wouldn't need to strain his voice as much. Not to mention that he would be devoting himself to his passion (the ultimate success in life). The fans would be happy and so would Liam. But he won't do that because he couldn't stand being any less successful than his brother (in the boring sense, i.e., sales, concert attendance, etc.). No, instead he chooses to bitch about Noel on Twitter.
Liam talks about not wanting to reform Oasis and a few pages later he's begging Noel for one more tour. Why would an Oasis reunion be such a bad idea? The answer is easily found on the last page. Just look at his comments on Noel's stuff. No sax, please, we're British. The risk for another Heathen Chemistry would be pretty high.
In short, I hope Liam moves on for once, finishes the album, writes Liam Gallagher in big bold letters on the cover, releases the record, and moves his acoustic performances from the pub to the stage, which is where they belong. And that the two brothers never cross paths (musically speaking) again. All for our benefit.

I kinda agree. He comes across as a spoilt child who now, has to tie his shoe. Poor guy, life is terrible. Plus, there is no way that interview wasn't prepared by PR, to launch his new career as Liam : The Nice Guy vs the mean ex-wife, vs the mean ex-brother and vs the mean ex-band members. Kinda puts the blame on the fall of BDI on the other guys as well, that's not very nice. Gem seemed motivated, and Andy or Chris couldnt be bothered, there's always other people. Excuse fail to me.

Great interview I really enjoyed it. Great to have Liam back and I'm already looking forward to his album. Finally for the first time ever he won't be held back by others and hopefully the guys he's collaborating with will help him.

Brosnan wore a hairpiece? You sure you don't mean Connery? Daily Mail BrosnanApologies for the link but it was the only one I could find that references 1999 and 2002 Bond films where he admitted to wearing a hairpiece. He is by no means the only entertainer to do so, as it keeps the illusion of an image up for them. The article also covers other Bond actors, whilst Hair Loss Talk discuss it amongst others in a thread.

Doc Lobster, if you want to avoid petty arguments, it might be better not calling those who might disagree with you a "brigade". Same goes for the often used phrase, "Liam zombies". Surely you can see why some might take that the wrong way?

Surely you can see why some might take that the wrong way? Without a doubt. I think is one of biggest problems around here is when people's mind sets are 'fanboys' 'brigade' 'them' 'here they come' ' oh I only took 30 mins' etc etc. Beyond patronising that some one let alone a group of people may not agree with their thoughts.

Come on! 1. We all know Liam is spot on about Noel (and I havent even read tonys book). 2. I dont think the interview was manipulated anymore than it would have been, had it been a Noel one. 3. Sure he says one thing then another about Oasis getting back. They were in 2 different contexts. 4. Liam is awesome

I suppose you consider me one of the 'Liam brigade' but excusing the lazy stereotype I'll respond anyway. I suppose the first thing is that Liam wasn't dumped by a girl, he fell out with his brother with all the niggles and animosity that goes along with a family feud. Its not really for you or anyone to tell him to move on, he's recording music and seems pretty happy, his argument with Noel doesn't see to be holding him back. As Liam explained but you omitted he would walk into interviews after Noel having been slagged off by his brother. We all know how often this happened and no doubt while funny for us it was quite annoying for him. Now Liam has a platform to wind up Noel and he's using it. Liam doesn't see to be taking it seriously, maybe you shouldn't either. Liam indeed has a rather large ego maybe the same size as his brothers but of a different nature. That's why he gets pissed in the butchers garden. Where was Liam 'begging' him? He's quite open about a reunion but clearly not with things as they are now. Noel won't tour because he Liam's a vagina and Liam wouldn't tour with Noel if he thinks that as they would probably both know the tour would last about 3 gigs. Liam explained himself probably better than he ever has in this interview. I don't really understand what's so hard to get about it or how you reach that conclusion rather than taking in everything he said.

I don't care what his feelings about Noel are... My point is he has to move on professionally (or artistically, if you prefer) , because otherwise he'll spend the rest of his days moaning while waiting for the call to set up a reunion tour. I disagree about Liam not being held back by his mindset (or rather, by fear of being negatively compared to his brother), as he is suspiciously tentative about his future ("I'm not starting a solo career", or whatever the actual quote is). I don't remember him making such comments when Beady Eye emerged. I'm not particularly interested in the sibbling rivalry, the music is all I care about, and what I see is a good chance for Liam to do something better and more suited to his talents than he has done in years, but the opportunity might get lost due to the wrong attitude. As I said, he should put care into the recordings, forget about Oasis forever, grab a guitar, go on stage doing his swagger walk, play the gig and fuck what everybody thinks.

Nobody cares about Liam Gallagher solo album (except 10 people in this forum) He needs a band. Not a great singer anymore and unable to play his proper songs. His word about NOEL: he still a loser.
