Incredibly not yet. I gues we'll have to wait and some pro shot footage will surface. When did you last see a support act get a broadcast? Yeah, you're right. I wasn't thinking about it.

They look like they dont really care about what they're playing, to be honest. In some circles, not appearing to care is regarded as a key characteristic of true punk rockers. Yeah, when you're IN the band, not just a touring musician. Looking bored isn't gonna help Liam's confidence which is at an all time low.

Noel's band sound 100 times better than Liam's band. Its not close. the difference is vast.
liam's band looks like a bunch of guys who just met each other when they were hired and appear to be playing music they don't really like. liam sounds good, though. much improved. which is great to hear. the band is shit, they sound worse than most oasis cover bands.

Jay Mehler is in his late 40's I believe. I've met Jay several times when he was playing with Kasabian. Very easy going and a nice guy, but the intro of Rock N Roll star... Love this post, because it's exactly how I feel about him. He seems like a brilliant guy in interviews and backstage videos, and I'm sure his presence in the band helps keep Liam happy. But he needs to not go near Noel's guitar bits.

Band looks great. Who cares if they miss a few notes? This is rock and roll - it's not like they're U2's support band. I like my rock gods to look godlike, sure. I'm glad Noel and Liam haven't gone bald and/or fat. Hell, I'm glad Bonehead went bald in his 20s, because seeing him with a shaved head now doesn't really clash with my memories. But musicianship first. I'd rather go see fat Liam and bald Noel as long as they can still perform rather than a young fit band that looks the part but can't play. Jay looks cool as, but he can't do Noel's guitar solos justice, and that's a problem.

I find it hard to understand why supposed professionals and paid touring musicians are fucking it up that badly.

And they fuck them up every time, they don't do them justice. Some Oasis cover bands sound better than them.

i've got to assume liam is not willing to pay much for his backing musicians. that would explain the subpar band. he should spend some money and get musicians equal to him in talent. people with experience at playing this kind of music that don't sound like they've never heard any rock and roll before. he also should have hired people who can sing harmony with him. beady eye and this band are sorely lacking in backing vocal talent. partof the appeal to oasis songs is the harmonies. noel knows this, that bass player he's got sings great with him.

I like Drew. Like Mike. Dan as well. They seem to enjoy being up there. And they ARE improving as a band; think of that first live airing of Chinatown!

Good looking band, they sounded great live. I have a soft spot for Drew, I'm a Babyshambles fan too. Having a go at their looks is very immature.

For those missing the original unit, have a listen to this and how the ego dismisses them all as people who chip in with interviews and stuff. Liam should've plugged the vagina there and then.

while we're talking looks, someone needs to tell liam to stop wearing shorts on stage. he looks like someone's dad wandered on stage.

Liam was so young and seems naive to the reality of what Noel was saying and what it would mean to the band in the long run.

Talking like that to one of Rock n Roll's greatest voices.

It's the old chestnut isn't it.
Paraphrasing Bonehead: "he was a dictator, yes. But he dictated us all the way to Top of the Pops".

That's perfectly valid. But when liam is still carrying around with him the spin of why Noel left, Bonehead left because the joy was sucked out of it, Guigsy felt it had changed, Coyley jumped ship and so on then you have to wonder if Good Old Uncle Ego - whose own ma describes him as a story teller - is a wee bit full of shite when he says a flaming plum seen off one of THE great bands.
I'd sooner be pelted with a load of carbs than be described as someone who chips in with interviews when in reality your voice is a rare form of dynamite that was akin to a lottery win for the band.
