T-Bay Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Just watching the Glastonbury coverage and Liam Gallagher is just terrible. I have to admit I was not a big oasis fan but they were ok pop songs for their time, but tonight he is just not there. He is 'singing' as though he has never heard the song before.

Grassie Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I disagree a little. His voice is better than it was in the latter years of Oasis, but his backing band are pretty average and was it just me or was he reading the lyrics of an autocue?

He was worse before? I am genuinely shocked. I thought he was reading it but dismissed it on the grounds 'he couldn't be'. He seemed to be a bit out of it in the interview afterwards. Foo fighters are awesome as always though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i agree. his voice is much better now than the end of oasis/beady eye years. honestly, he was never a world beater, but he had the swagger of a rock star, and he seems to have got his mojo back i am biased, he was the rock star of my youth, so to see him somewhere near his best is fine by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepbass5 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I have only just been able to listen to an Oasis song on the radio now The Guys an arse'ole always was and probably always will be - his brother should know. Turning up unprepared is just another example of the contempt for the hard work most artists put into the business before getting anything out.

steve-bbb Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 just scanned through 45 minutes of his turgid sh*te on the bbc website fair play to him - he's made himself a tidy few bucks out of 0.1% talent/charisma and 99.9% sneering self important arrogance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Where did it all go wrong? In Manchester, on the day he fancied being a rock star. That's where. As with many occupations, being an obnoxious arsehole is something you can only get away with if you have sufficient talent to make you worth tolerating.

I have to agree about talent vs attitude balance, however, I think you've overweighted the talent side Yeah, I've never liked him, or Oasis for that matter, Noel's ok I guess, if you like that sort of thing.

Musicman20 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Funny that, Blur and Oasis formed my early teen influences along with the usual heavier USA bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana....I'll never have a bad word to say about either band or their members. Liam might wind you up, but I personally like his swagger and sneer; far too many people don't dare say anything in this modern age, yet Liam just carries on winding people up. I did not hear one bum note, in fact he was really putting an effort into his vocals if you ask me. He sings quite aggressively, almost like he is having a fight inside him to get it out, and he voiced a generation of kids into listening to old classic bands like The Beatles, etc. I live in Manc and the support for him, especially since the Arena bombing and his effort to raise money, has been impressive.

Big_Stu Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Liam Gallagher seems to have nicked most of his stage act, stance, style off Ian Brown. Maybe he should try the tribute market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The way he stains when stood at the microphone he looks like he's permanently trying to 'push one out'...and that's what he sounds like as well. I could never understand how he was rated as a vocalist. He struck lucky that his brother could pen a decent tune, that said, I've never liked Oasis or that whole Britpop thing, couldn't abide it. I did catch the Liam Gallagher set on the Beeb, it was dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
