It wasn't until my kids said, "Hey you gotta check out this guy on KZbin...he's pretty good". I think I started with his review on "Dimash"... and I've been hooked ever since. Now, I can't miss a show and seriously hope he gets involved in a Podcast... Justin would be amazing interviewing people and also...Just being Justin.

I love this tune too! Loved Oasis and liked The Stone Roses. Liam still has that awesome walk and stance. One of my biggest disappointments is having tickets, for what turned out to be, the last Oasis tour in Toronto. Family member got sick and I had to sell them 2 days before the show. We have very similar musical tastes Justin!❤

That first Stone Roses album was such a banger. Amazing band, but sadly they never did recapture that magic. This track actually gives me some Rain (by the Beatles) vibes.

[@RossLeeson]

I saw them live and they were the worst band I’ve ever seen. The singer opened up saying we were “lucky to be witnessing greatness.”

​​​​@@RossLeesonIan brown can not sing live to save his life. Liam is a far superior vocalist.

... and, as we all know, Oasis were known as Rain, named after the Beatles Song, before Noel joined. It's all coming full circle.

Second Coming ..is basically a John Squire solo from track 2-the end .😮😊

I can't decide if you're experimenting with hair gel, or just damp.

[@MariaFrancesca]

Recent shower hair looks like to me 🙂

[@ZuzuTheLemon]

@@MariaFrancesca I think you're probably right!

As he’s in the UK, there’s a chance that he’s just been outside… 🌧️🌧️🌧️ …stupid British weather 😒

[@MariaFrancesca]

@@NinStardust You've got rain, we've got snow 🙂

Stumbled alone this by chance, but boy, as someone not musical, I found it mesmerising listening to you de-construct the song, just shows how technical music is when you peep below the surface. I loved this vid and the song, and nice to see a musician door the cap to other musicians 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼

[@mrgee007]

Oh yeah, beautiful, love the change half way through, was 19 when it came out, great memories. Would be great to hear him talk about that track 👍🏼@@MADCHESTERUTD89

[@MarkG-f7v]

There not lifting anything , and you know what saying that shit can cause , no free for all either... Just some good tunes from Squire and Gallagher...Oh and check out the latest release from these two legends , it's called from Mars to Liverpool !! MG Dublin Ireland !!

[@Noiseheads]

Liam has been putting out consistent solo material for the last decade, this is no exception!

[@hammerinexile]

Let’s be honest, his solo stuff is bang average If he wasn’t Liam Gallagher, it wouldn’t get any recognition at all…it just doesn’t stand up

[@davidcervantes3192]

I am just coming up to my 70 birthday never been a fan of Justin but man! I think he is great now brilliant luv him true to his art great feel

[@sylehamsi]

Check out Donovan's Barabajagal - probably Jimmy Page sounding like Jeff Beck
