10 years ago we had gotten these teasers and tomorrow we will have heard Bring The Light for the first time, what are some Beady Eye memories you have or thoughts after all this time?
I really liked them, thought the 2nd album was better. Flick of the Finger is up there with other great Liam songs in my opinion. Felt the first album was too rushed since the split of Oasis, and thought they made a bit of a mistake in not playing Oasis songs when they first started touring but saying that, their early shows were always sold out maybe because of the small venues?
Just a shame they didn’t try for a third album but everything which could have gone wrong did for them near the end. Pretty much playing in half empty venues.

I remember that time well. Remember hearing Bring The Light for the first time. I thought it was great. Such a catchy tune, that got stuck in your head for days. It's still one of my favorite songs of the band. Love it. The Roller was ok, but i just couldn't get past the Instant Karma vibe
But then the album came out. I can't say that i was disappointed because i never had high expectations anyway. But i thought it was OK. Four Letter Word, Bring The Light, Beatles and Stones are really the only songs i really go back to. But Between DGSS and BE i think there is a really strong single album.
Beady Eye albums are not sounding like Oasis sound, especially BE album! They're still fresh and new sound to me. I was expected their 3rd album before announced splitted up.
Andy, Gem and Liam wrote great songs in Beady Eye days, So I feel shame Gem didn't do his solo works or wrote songs for Liam etc these days.
I like The Roller, Second Bite of the Apple, Iz Rite..
I'll definitely be in the minority here but I prefer the body of Beady Eye's work to Liam's solo output (so far).
Some cracking tunes scattered across both albums, they really deserved to be bigger than what they were.
The world hadn't had chance to miss Liam unfortunately, and not capitalising on the Gallagher name was a misstep that is easy to say now with hindsight.
Still, I'm glad for what they gave us, the times I saw then live were some of the best intimate & mad gigs I've ever been to.
Cheers lads, thanks for the tunes and the memories.
