Andy Bell Interview

Part two of an interview with Andy Bell from Gibson.

When Beady Eye formed in 2009, the press and fans alike wondered if the former Oasis band members could make a go of it without their leader, Noel Gallagher. But the foursome—composed of frontman Liam Gallagher, guitarists Andy Bell and Gem Archer, and drummer Chris Sharrock—quickly proved the naysayers wrong with a killer debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding. The group have spent the better part of 2011 touring the world and proving without a doubt that, even without Noel, they’re still rock ‘n’ roll stars.

For Andy Bell, the band has given him the opportunity to return to his original instrument of guitar after a decade playing bass with Oasis. Bell sat down at the Gibson NYC Showroom to talk about his years in Oasis, plans for Beady Eye’s next album and his mystical 13-year-old mentor.
