I can’t really think of anyone who has had a more unexpected and successful comeback than Liam. To come back from what he did, the lukewarm effort that was Beady Eye and the horrible aftermath, with not only MUCH better songs but also an astounding and unprecedented VOCAL comeback, is just insane and brilliant. He sounds the best he has sounded live this side of the Millennium in my opinion, ridiculous vocals for 2021, and has also accumulated a huge new fan base in the process. Long may it continue!

It’s mind blowingly phenomenal. And remember, he had an actual mental break down around 2013 (I know what that feels like…). To come back from that despair is remarkable, never mind literally everything else! I couldn’t be more proud to be an Oasis and Gallagher (both) fan And as you said, this is 2021 - all of the Oasis related material has seen a real rebirth. It feels like they are right back to their adoration their received in the 90s (nowhere as big, but you know what I mean). The lads have not been this relevant since those days.

Yeah as great as Liam's comeback has been Elvis came back from shit movies and songs like "Yoga is As Yoga Does' "Queenie Wahine's Papaya and "Old Macdonald" to cut amazing soul stuff like "Any Day Now", "Suspicious Minds" and "Stranger In My Own Hometown" amongst many others.
It's not even close but again mad respect to Liam and his team, as I've stated before without LG's solo stuff I would still hate Oasis.

Like a few people here I'd have said Elvis. With his '68 TV Comeback Special after years of mediocre films, followed by a 5 year run of iconic hits like "If I Can Dream", "Suspicious Minds", "In The Ghetto", "Burning Love" and "The Wonder Of You". Others I'd have maybe suggested are the Eagles' huge Hell Freezes Over reunion in 1994, and Meat Loaf, who after about a decade of minimal success had a massive comeback in 1993 with Bat Out Of Hell II and "I'd Do Anything For Love" reaching #1.
In British rock however, Liam's is right up there if you look back to 2009. Mainly because he not only regained his relevance after eight years, but he's seemed to stay pretty big ever since.
As soon as Oasis split, Liam got sole blame for their break-up and sank into irrelevancy. Hence while they didn't totally flop, to the public Beady Eye never had a chance at being seen as anything more than a pale Oasis imitation, as proved when they tried to change with BE and it didn't pay off. After they split in 2014 he was barely heard from for three years, except personal things like his divorce. Then he suddenly comes storming back solo in 2017 to critical and commercial success, and basically wins over a new generation. Basically, As You Were did for Liam what Band On The Run did for Paul McCartney. And the hype hasn't died much since; in the public eye, headlining festivals by himself and scoring two more UK #1 albums.
In the UK at least, I dare say he's not far from the status Oasis would have today had they never split. Which makes sense, as like Noel said, Liam's keeping it alive; basically his albums and especially his gigs are the closest experience to what Oasis was (even more since Bonehead joined his band).

What the hell does this even mean. I hated Oasis as a kid, I was a HUGE Beatles fan and thought Oasis were nothing but annoying posers.
Fast forward to Liam being interviewed on Howard Stern and the guy was a great interview, I liked Wall of Glass.
From their I went on to Yotutube to hear the rest of the solo stuff, bought AYW on release week and the rest is history.

That’s fucked up, I’m sorry for your musical loss as a young child.

People are losing their minds. Liam is in gloriously powerful form with a new album coming down the pike, which is a triumph, but ... he’s hardly the first (or hundredth) person to make a comeback from a bad patch and a personal breakdown.
People have come back from heroin addictions, from devastating accidents, from cancer treatment, from sudden band member or spousal deaths … the list goes on and on and on. It’s not like he was lying in the street having the DTs with his legs amputated and a hole in his throat. He had a bad run of things for a while with bands and marriages breaking up (as they do), wisely left the public eye for a bit, and got himself together.
Now he’s had a year off to re-charge his vocal battery and he sounds great and feels hungry. Fantastic for him and for us, but it's not movie-of-the-week stuff.

I've said this before but during BE's last breath I would have NEVER imagined this type of success for rkid. I will never forget watching the live stream of Liam walking out at One Love "Manchester boy in the area" and then breaking out into RnR Star. He's back!!!!Fucking legendary.

Like you, when Beady Eye split I thought "well that's Liam finished now innit? He'll never get anywhere now". Yet to convince me, all it took was that 30-second snippet of Wall of Glass. Still remember where I was when I first heard it, and straight away I said "the Liam I know and love is back in business". And within months, he would be.

It's incredible and getting better and better. I was amazed with his Reading and Glasto performances in 2017, then blown away when seeing him live in Bxl (Belgium), in 2020. But the Reading and TRNSMT shows are just on another lvl. I just compared his TRNSMT performance with Wembley 2000, and his voice is exactly the same.
Who needs an Oasis reunion when Liam is giving is these kinda shows? Hope he'll tour Europe again soon. I'm blown away. What a comeback.

Except it was a movie… After just one album cycle and world tour. It was really a movie about a rock star returning to the stage after being unsure of his future – not about the greatest resurrection of all time. (Actually, I think what makes the movie, which is also a sly bit of marketing, work so remarkably well as storytelling is its sincere humility.) Was it not Debbie who said to Liam, “Nobody died.” It was a great point because...nobody did. Things could be worse, which he wisely realized. Not at all downplaying the remarkable success of Liam’s return or that he overcame tough times and his own internal doubts and demons. That’s lovely stuff, just wouldn't oversell it as the most incredible thing ever. I mean Def Leppard’s drummer literally had his arm ripped from his body in a car accident and learned to drum again. David Crosby came back from a last-ditch liver transplant. John McVie went on tour with Fleetwood Mac soon after undergoing treatment for colon cancer. Lynyrd Skynyrd was in a plane crash, which killed several key members while others survived with serious injuries (and later reunited). Multiple rock stars have returned after near-fatal ODs or frightening stints in rehab or mental hospitals. It’s a rough world out there. It’s very good to have Liam back and it’s good to have some perspective.

Paul Weller's solo career revival post-The Style Council's demise comfortably outshines Liam.
and
Bob Dylan has had more successful comebacks than Liam has had parkas.

Jesus Christ, Paul Weller in the 90s was horrible. Literally making the same tired album over and over with the odd decent single (I know this is how some would describe Liam also lol). It was a big step down musically from what the Style Council had done. Paul Weller's resurgence from 22 Dreams onwards though is definitely more impressive.

He has done well. Not sure it's the greatest comeback ever mind you. Surely that's Rick Astley...
He has two kinds of fans. Ones that listen to Liam Gallagher because they love Oasis and he was the singer, and people that listen to Oasis because they love Liam Gallagher and he used to be in the band.

I don’t support the statement that it’s the greatest comeback in rock history, but I do think the level of success was highly unexpected. It’s a difficult thing to qualify, as it’s a subjective topic; however, your post seemed to be minimizing LG’s return, which is why I quoted your post saying it’s “not movie-of-the-week stuff” when a documentary was made chronicling his comeback. A company wouldn’t finance a feature length film if it wasn’t something worthy of documenting.
