Liam Gallagher

@ZenHalfTimeCrock The Contino Sessions made the top ten of most New Musical Express (NME) writers that year which is rare given the diversity of taste. I’m still listening to it today some twenty five years later.

Dance Rock crossover is a personal favourite. I used to love Leeds band The Music too.

The Apollo Manchester only holds 3,500 so two nights 7,000 why chose such a small venue, surely demand will be high ?

We can’t go so will definitely buy the album, love the video and that looks like Barrie Cadogan (primal scream) he’s another fabulous guitar player your in for a treat those of you who get tickets

I’m going. 2 of the biggest legends ripping a proper Manchester crowd to bits together.

Going to be paradise.
 
That sounded like Liam at half time tonight.
I liked it,can anybody steer me in the right direction of the song.

Be Here Now was an embarrassingly bad record. At the time I think Noel Gallagher was too up his own arse to think about a new direction.

thought there was some really good songs but some just went on to long and repetitive as though he didnt know how to finish it. brilliant start to it though played at full blast with the helicopter, gives me goose bumps

The production (plus the mountains of cocaine) was always the issue with Be Here Now, rather than the songs themselves. Noel decided to revisit it in 2016 and start re-producing the songs but gave up after doing D'You Know What I Mean. Shame, as it sounds miles better than the original so would have been interesting to hear the full album re-done like that.

Noel gave up drugs about that time he went cold and suddenly stopped, don’t know if that affected his songwriting ability “concentration“
Liam sang a great version of “do you know what I mean” at 48hrs at Rockfield

There won’t be any nonsense mate.

The crowd will be proper Mancunian gig veterans like my bad little self and my man @paulpowerstash

We’ll be to busy looking cool as fuck in our cagoules for any mischief.

Make sure you come on and tell us about it you could break all the rules and use your camera phone so I get an idea of what I missed

Don’t forget looking cool in a pink cagoule “that John wore” and a bucket hat after a few drinks no telling what you and Stash get up to

Must have been after Be Here Now cos he's talked many times about coke messing up the recording and production of that album...

“It’s the sound of … a bunch of guys, on coke, in the studio, not giving a fuck,” Noel summarised in 2004. “There’s no bass to it at all; I don’t know what happened to that … And all the songs are really long, and all the lyrics are shit, and for every millisecond Liam is not saying a word, there’s a fuckin’ guitar riff in there in a Wayne’s World stylie”.

And they ended up producing a masterpeice. D'ya Know What I Mean, Stand By Me, Be Here Now, Don't Go Away, All Around the World are all amazing tracks. Any band producing them now would have the best music in the last 20 years.

It's certainly nowhere near as bad as a lot of people like to make out. Yes,it's massively over-produced but there's still some good tracks in there (and, more importantly, some great memories!)

Agreed. There are some great b-sides too, that weren't over-produced and probably should have made the album.
