Mars to Liverpool still sounding MEGA What a tune I still love the album as a whole but I think Mars to Liverpool, Just Another Rainbow and I'm a Wheel are up there with anything he's been involved in since Oasis split. |

When I was at the dentist the other day, and he was doing all the unpleasant dentist things, I kept singing I'm a Wheel in my head and it kept me zen. Great song. |

This topic went from ”I really hope that he will make a record" to " Fucking Oasis is Back!" in the span of 8 years.

This topic went from ”I really hope that he will make a record" to " Fucking Oasis is Back!" in the span of 8 years. I will forever be totally grateful for those 7 or 8 years. Three albums I love as much as Oasis I met Liam at WMWN signing in HMV Finsbury, Reading x3, Glasto x2, and KNEBWORTH Acoustic sessions & MTV Unplugged A collab with a Stone Rose Bonehead back in the fold As It Was & NME Godlike Genius It’s been amazing. But it’s time. |

Props to Liam for keeping the Oasis spirit alive all these years. Never change, RKID.

Was Liam really so stupid to suggest they'd be offered 100m when Noel scoffed at it on Jonathan Ross?

This topic went from ”I really hope that he will make a record" to " Fucking Oasis is Back!" in the span of 8 years. It was the last thing I ever thought would happen when this thread first launched - it was such a low point. Can't believe we've gotten to this point. I still can't process it. 25 August 2016 was low-key one of the most important days in Oasis-related history... ...that's the day when, kinda out of nowhere, Liam signed his Warner deal. Remember that picture? That's where it all started.  Followed by this epic tweet where Liam broke the news to his followers: x.com/liamgallagher/status/768776765028331520?lang=enBy the way, kudos to Warner, UROK, and Debbie. This was one of the best career management jobs I have ever seen. The way they spotted a vacuum in the musical market for rockers and acted on it was masterful—a textbook case for marketing and business students. Slowly, they built urgency and the need for Liam's brand of rock, from a tiny gig at the Ritz to sell-out arena tours to Finsbury Park and all the way to Knebworth. Nothing short of amazing. Of course, this was only possible because Liam nailed his job as a singer, frontman, musician, and celebrity. He stepped up big when he had to (whether it was One Love, Hull, or even singing on a barge). Plus, it was very mature of him to realize his most significant gift is his voice (which he finally protected and took care of to a point it seems it's rejuvenated 25 years), not his songwriting (and here's some well-deserved kudos to his songwriting army, who made him comfortable and gave him high-quality material that sounds fresh yet quintessentially Liamesque). Congrats, Liam, on what will be seen forever as a very successful solo career. Job well done. |

Taken a while but the hype this week seems to have resulted in For What Its Worth finally reaching Gold in the UK.

It’s a shame that lots of the solo stuff will sit on the shelf for a while - Once, Wall of Glass, etc, let alone Noel’s stuff.
Whereas I think now’s the perfect moment for the reunion, and I’m as excited as everyone, the solo years were great.

Having expressed his embarrassment at overusing the "Mad for it" catchphrase in the 90s, I can't lie, it's kinda nice to see Liam reprising it on Twitter today. Totally teenage fanboy of me, I know, but I always enjoyed the fact that Oasis came armed with catchphrases. Just like this new nickname "the big O" -- I don't know when and where that's come from, but I like it. They should have a grandiose nickname really; it suits the character of the band.

26/07/2015: Liam plays Bold in a pub in Ireland just over a year after Beady Eye broke up and he withdrew from the public eye, kick-starting his solo career
26/07/2025: Oasis will play the second of 7 sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium
What a beautiful redemption arc it's been ❤️

No doubt he needed the confidence back, but there was a lot of us who always said he could easily sing a set of Oasis songs and everyone would come to see it. It wasn't rocket science and the label knew it. He's also incredibly lucky that he can have people write songs for him and just basically stick his voice on and package it. You could argue he deserves it because his voice is just that good, and I wouldn't argue that but no denying it's an amazing position for him to be in. It's not like Beady Eye where it's 3 blokes having to come up with something that will sell. I'm also very torn on the whole Debbie saviour narrative because there's quite a lot of noise that all that wasn't the bed of roses it was sold to us on the documentary. Obviously things happened since that kind of back that up too. Without going to deep though it's just great to have him back where he should be. He never should have been in the stupid position he put himself in without his name on a band and a blank canvas of a set list. Was always going to be career suicide. |

When you listen to The Second Coming, you think what could have been for the LG x JS album. I get the label probably wanted to play it safe. But long John solos on the album would have been immense. Glad I got to see them where John was let off the leash a bit.

Five years ago today Liam released his Why Me Why Not album. One of Us, once, why me why not and The River, Gone are brilliant - the rest I never ever play anymore. Now That I've Found You his worst ever song forced and cringe worthy beyond belief. Thank god he moved on. |

I still listen to the album but it's not my favourite of his solo stuff and I don't listen to it as much as I used to. |

Listening to WMWN in full right now for the first time in well over a year, it's actually even better than I remember it being and it's reaffirmed to me that it's his best solo record

I really hope that he will make a record. It's surreal to think how far we've come since this was posted, back in the post-BE days when Liam had no band, no record label and no new music to his name. Fast forward 8 years and he has released 6 UK #1 albums with 2 singles in the UK Top 20, sold out 2 nights at Knebworth and is now once again the frontman of the greatest band in the world! I hope the user who originally posted this is doing well in life and can rest assured that yes, he did indeed make a record 😉 |

And I appear to have been the second person to comment on that original post and let’s just say it went very, very, very well! |
