My cat could do a better job of managing BDI than this guy did, and all she wants to do is scratch around in her litter box. Is Beady Eye still in existence as a band?

I guess Liam's follies take no blame? Gem's injuries were unfortunate, but Liam just killed any momentum they had with the way he's chosen to live his life.

Look at other rockstars, just because of their lifestyle a band should not be written of. Musicians like the stones, oasis, led zeppelin had all a bad behaviour sometimes, but that's something that made them interesting and untouchable, so in the end it just depends on the music they make. Look at john lennon, he didn't care for his first son, abused his wife, took drugs, had really weird interviews, where he said really controversial stuff and now he's an icon, that is loved worldwide.

I think death does glorify a bit... I d say there s bigger admiration for John than for Paul. Otherwise, Liam did not kill the momentum, it was Gems injury if anything. Last thing to point out, It is not easy to get public on your side when your band is Oasis - Noel with the love that Noel gets from press & public...that makes Liam look like he' s not normal.

If Beady Eye are on hiatus, I wouldn't mind a Liam solo effort. You know 11-12 tracks collaborating with artists such as Paul Weller, Death In Vegas, Serge Pizzorno, Johnny Marr, etc. I've always imagined this as a possibility one day.

Liam had stated really often, that he likes to be part of a band and feel that band energy, so I think, that Beady Eye have a break now, because it seems, that they are still in contac with each other and like each other, if you look at twitter or other social media platforms. I hope Beady Eye come back with a great follow up to BE, that follows that psychedelic part even more and let Oasis-sounding tracks like "I'm just sayin", although its good, behind them.

A solo album could just be a side project. He doesn't even need to tour it. Maybe 2-3 music show appearances. Nothing major. Just get the creative juices flowing.

You mean exactly what Noel suggested he could do and Liam spit his dummy out? I think Liam's an all in kind of guy. I could imagine maybe him guesting on someone else's album if he were asked by the right person. But him actually spearheading a project away from Gem, Andy, and Chris? I don't think so. If he has any good ideas at all he'll give them to BDI assuming BDI are gonna make another album.

I'm aware that Rodgers was not involved in DGSS, but generally speaking I think management in general have been a complete hash of Beady Eye from start to finish.
I'm no expert but surely you maximise the band's strengths and conceal their weaknesses? In Liam they have an iconic singer who is as loved as he is despised with little middle ground. Beady Eye aren't going to win many more fans outside of the Oasis fan base, which itself had big splits between Liam fans and Noel fans, meaning the potential market for Beady Eye was always going to be limited. At the same time though they had a ready made hardcore waiting for them without too much effort - let's not forget their first tour (of decent sized academies) sold out within minutes before they'd even released an album, how many 'new' bands can say that?
Surely therefore the logical choice is play up to the Oasis/Liam fan base and give them what they want to hear - choose something with attitude, snarl and heavy riffs for your first single to pique their interest whilst their was still some intrigue about the band. I'm sure everyone has their own thoughts but to me Four Letter Word was the perfect choice, yet they deliberately distanced themselves from the Oasis sound and released the Jerry Lee Lewis inspired, straight from 1950s Bring The Light. I'll give you a personal story - bearing in mind the aim was the establish a fan base for the group - the majority of my mates are massive Oasis fans, yet I'm in a minority of about 2 who can name more than 1 Beady Eye song as they all gave up after Bring The Light.
Beady Eye are never going to sell singles yet released 5 of them from DGSS long after the public had stopped caring - why? It's the very definition of flogging a dead horse.
At the same time, they're a great live band, the band love touring and if I wasn't a fan I'd be more inclined to see Liam performing than buy his CD. They played a few warm up gigs in 2012, supported the Stone Roses and did the surprise Glastonbury slot in 2013 which were all well received and created a bit of a buzz. Why not concentrate on what they're good at, do a few one off gigs and small tours to keep them in the public eye instead of chucking out singles that nobody bought.
They were really unfortunate that Gem's injuries really killed momentum, but I don't believe Liam's affair was a momentum killer at all. I understand that it's a sensitive issue, but when you have Liam plastered all over the news in a "Baby Fuck Off" t-shirt, that is the ideal time to jump on the bandwagon. Use your contacts, make it known they have an album out and create a bit of intrigue. You have ready made publicity and stories that are itching for the mandatory "Beady Eye recently released their critically acclaimed second album..." lines on the end of the Liam stories but the showbiz "journalists" covering the affair would need to be made aware. Were there any efforts to promote it?
I could rant on but I'll save that for another day.
