Should Beady Eye Play Oasis Songs?













Perhaps the biggest mistake Liam Gallagher has made with Beady Eye – a band containing four-fifths of Oasis's final lineup – is to refuse to play any Oasis songs live. Not only have Beady Eye's live shows consequently lacked the fist-punching highs of his former band's sets, but too distinct a line was drawn between the two acts, leaving Liam struggling to bring Oasis's fan base along with him. Not so Noel Gallagher. On Sunday night, Liam's elder brother performed several Oasis songs at the first live outing of his High Flying Birds solo project, in Dublin. As fan-filmed videos at youtube.com/beadyeysis prove, even played acoustically and sung by the wrong Gallagher, Supersonic and Wonderwall can prompt mass, beery singalongs. So, too, do the best of Noel's new songs – particularly the barrelling AKA… What a Life. Not surprising, then, that Noel has just announced a date at London's 20,000-capacity O2 Arena, while Beady Eye have yet to sell out November's 5,000-capacity Brixton Academy show.

to be honest, this article is wrong. We didn't like those songs in acoustic version.. Oasis is not a memory to be played sadly, acoustically. Liam is missing.

The first step is the most important for any artists to establish their own identity.
Beady Eye is brave to carve the way for itself through incredible hardships.
Bulletproof!

WHo the fuck is anybody here to say what Beady Eye should or shouldn't play. If you want to listen to Oasis put on their fucking album - if you want to see them live - tough shit, you missed the boat.

Personally, I take my hat off to them, they're a new band with new song - no point living in the past... unless your Noel Gallagher and you wrote and own most of the songs, then again, you can do whatever the fuck you like with your own songs.

If you don't like this, go start you own band, then you can call the shots - until then shut the fuck up and enjoy the tunes.
