Fair play to him
Eh La sounds better hear than the other videos I've seen too. Think it might be a nice little song when we hear the final product

Yeah I agree. The beginning (on the first page of that recording from the gig) reminds me a bit of the start from turn up the sun.
Again sounds a decent b side

Liam should have a made a record like that. Something raw, with a real sound and no overcompressed shit like Wall of Glass. He sounds much better like that. Maybe he would have sold less records but it would have been more authentic.

I could listen to hours of him having fun like that. He should do a whole unplugged gig like that in an Irish pub with local musicians and release it.

Maybe he would have sold less records but it would have been more authentic. Be commercial suicide and Sony would drop him after the first album if it flopped as it sells less records to just the hardcore. I get what you mean but this album has to be a huge hit Liam needs a big album and can’t risk putting songs like this on it. On the bonus tracks maybe but surely we want him to sell albums so he tours and produces more and more music Give me Liam doing well and selling records and being at gigs rather than being ‘authentic’

On the bonus tracks maybe but surely we want him to sell albums so he tours and produces more and more music Give me Liam doing well and selling records and being at gigs rather than being ‘authentic’ Sony would never have signed him with a risk-taking album in the first place, so there's no need to think about that I get your point, and while i enjoy the occasionnal listening of the new songs, to be honest, i doubt i will listen to them next year. At this point of this career, Liam has made a choice of being commercial, and good for him if he succeed. But if the whole album is like the two singles we heard, my guess is he's gonna lose a lot of his fanbase while trying to get some new fans. They're kinda soulless those those songs. At least the way they are produced. they are well crafter, radio friendly and all. but meh... They lack depth, they lack what Oasis had, rage, i dont know... It's a challenge every aging artist has to face : doing good records or records that sell. Some manages to produce records that have both qualities, some dont... I sure hoped Liam, as wealthy as he is, would have gone the first route, but it seems not... I hope he proves me wrong on october 6 with tracks on this record that sound better than Wall of Glass. Or even Chinatown, that i liked first, but dont really have a desire to listen to...

This is the 'authentic' Liam and Warner Bros are totally having it. And don't get me wrong - I really wish Liam all the success, but I seriously doubt that this record will have any impact whatsoever on the music market.

akaidleroses , I've merged your thread with this one. Cheers. Hadn't noticed it so cheers Mimi. I've only heard WOG & Chinatown when it comes to the new songs so this clip was a little treat for me when spotted it on the news. Sources reporting here in Ireland that Liam is working on a cover album that will consist of only songs by The Wolfetones.

That version with the Irish folk people makes it sound more like "Way Out" by The La's (including the handclaps)

Sony is clearly pushing those other people's songs upfront and oh yeah, Liam, you can include your songs on the record which no one will listen to anyway. It's clear from the beginning that Sony is pushing singles buying, youtube plays and festival money. In the end, Liam will have a moderate success or a BDI level of success, won't be happy and it will be the same all over again. By going the independent route, setting his own label, he'd be much happier i think. Maybe the success would be more low key, but it would be more rewarding for him. Many artists manage to live and have a huge fanbase by being independent. So why not him ? From the interview i've seen and read, he's clearly not believing in the whole thing. Even when they launched the second beady eye record he seemed more enthusiastic.

Not the right thread to talk about the album but anyway...so far every liam's step was an unexpected success and even greater things are on his way. Great performances n promo, a HIT, his face is everywhere. If that s not success for a RnR singer then tell me what is. He s doin better so far than big rock names. His album, no matter if the reviews are good or bad, is gonna also be a HIT,a good seller. We have more , much more, than could expect when he started his own solo phase. More than even I die hard fan could imagine...

Even when they launched the second beady eye record he seemed more enthusiastic. How do you define impact? I don't think Warner Brothers is under any illusions. They signed Liam because he's still massive in the UK and can get a high festival slot. Liam's album has been charging ahead on pre-orders. He will have accumulated nearly 6 months worth of pre-orders once his album drops. I think he'll be a runaway for #1. That is an impact on the music market. Liam's actual issue with his album will be staying power. With him releasing what could be his best singles on the album, WOG and FWIW so early, there's a risk that he could get a runaway #1, then fall out of the album charts within 6-7 weeks. But Liam will be guaranteed a #1, with a pretty high opening sales total, and already has a #20 single, and that's farther than BDI got.

Sorry to be a dick but why are folk saying Sony signed Liam?
It was Warners or are there different distribution labels outside the UK?

Even when they launched the second beady eye record he seemed more enthusiastic. There's no way Liam was ever going to go down an independent route though. I'd be surprised if we heard any music at all from him if he hadn't had the offer from a big label. Anyway, of course the label are pushing other people's songs up front and making him work with other people because Liam isn't really an established writer. When they signed Liam, they weren't signing a singer-songwriter. They were signing a famous singer with an established fanbase. He is a bit of a safe bet really in that respect, they know all they have to do is get an album together full of half decent material and it will sell pretty well and will sell out his gigs. Their expectations won't be that he is going to be a global success. Plenty of major labels have their kind of mid-level artists in terms of sales, but also the budget and advance money that goes into them is less too. He will meet the labels expectations anyway, they're not stupid and know roughly what to expect. It just depends what his own expectations are and if he can deal with not having the level of success he wants but if he has any sense, he can't be expecting that he's going to be that relevant in today's music world and being on a major label or independent isn't going to make any difference to that. As for doing things independently and more "artistically rewarding" - I don't think Liam really thinks like that.] Besides, who says it HAS to be artistically rewarding for Liam? - Maybe he's just happy being back out there and having a sense of purpose about him playing his gigs and whatnot, even if all the songs aren't his own. If that makes him happier and in a better mental state, then that's alright too.
