Liam Gallagher has admitted that he thinks Oasis and Beady Eye are "shit" names for bands. The frontman criticised both the name of his current outfit and that of his former band - taken from Swindon Oasis Leisure Centre in south west England. He told NME: ''It was a shit name, but most band names are shit. Look at Beady Eye - shit fucking name. It wasn't just that [Swindon Oasis Leisure Centre] though. There was shop in the Manchester Arndale Market called Oasis that used to sell cool clothes too, and there was a taxi fucking rank round the corner called Oasis. It meant that we were out there, because we were different.'' His latest comments come after Gallagher also previously said he wanted to call Beady Eye's second album 'Universal Gleam', but his record company didn't like it, so the band settled on 'BE' instead. The band launched their second album with an intimate record store show in London earlier this week. They performed at the Rough Trade East store in front of around 150 lucky fans who had queued for wristbands, playing highlights from the Dave Sitek-produced record, as well as a cover of The Beatles' 'Cry Baby Cry'. Beady Eye will play Manchester Ritz on June 19 before heading to London for a show at Camden Centre on June 20. The short stint will come to a close in Glasgow at the ABC on June 22. The band have also lined up summer festival slots at V Festival, Benicassim and T In The Park. www.nme.com/news/beady-eye/70848#zpIJovkJbfK1mfOO.99

Kind of agree on beady eye but I always thought oasis was a really good name, it just had a ring to it...

I've always thought Oasis was a genius band name to be honest. Most other big bands have terrible names that we've just become accustomed to over time, but Oasis is short, meaningful, looks good paper, slides off the tongue, etc. Beady Eye is pretty bad I guess, but Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is worse...

What IS a good band name if Oasis or Beady Eye are not?
Led Zeppelin? Nonsensical.
Pink Floyd? Two random words (names of Syd Barrett's blues heroes) back to back.
The Beatles? Poor pun.
The Jam? Really?
Ned's Atomic Dustbin?
Arctic Monkeys? Hideous.
The Sex Pistols? Riiight. You're a sexy GUN firing off your shots, Johnny. Subtle.
Both Oasis and Beady Eye are fine.

Queens of the Stone Age is a pretty awesome band name I think but yeah most band names are wank. The Rolling Stones and Stone Roses are two I like as well, maybe I just like stones?

LOL. It's true, that are plenty of band names far, far worse than either Oasis and Beady Eye. I don't mind Oasis at all. Maybe it's not the most brilliant band name ever (but who needs that?) but like what was already said, it's succinct and looks good, and doesn't sound stupid. And it has an interesting history behind it, and has the added bonus of symbolism, of Oasis giving us a musical refuge in a desert wasteland of crap. Beady Eye is just weird to me. But at least it's unique!

( checked wiki thats the name not plain rain ) that name blows for a band Liam Actually my username, when I picked it was double meaning. Oasis first called " The Rain" and I live in Washington state, which weather here is closest thing to England's weather. Looked out my window with discussed with the weather and remembered. Now my username back back in the days was rain_oasis, because rain is shitty weather and oasis is nirvana and represented Oasis too. Those days any new oasis fan forum members had oasis in their usernames. Later shorten it to Rain.
