"Start Anew?" - A Film About Liam Gallagher and Beady Eye

You Should Subscribe Here Now: bit.ly/VErZkw
Noisey Films is proud to present 'Start Anew? : On The Campaign Trail With Beady Eye.'
Over the past couple of months, Noisey has had exclusive access to one of the most iconic figures in British music as he tries to step out of the shadows of Oasis with the release of Beady Eye's second album 'Be.' Will the discerning choices of Dave Sitek on production and Trevor Jackson on design allow them to become an artistic endeavor in their own right?
From rehearsals and interviews to instores and playbacks, Noisey documents the story of our kid as he and his band attempt to prove that they are more than the sum of their parts and that this record will take them in a new direction. In Liam's own words "I wouldn't put it out if I was nervous. I hope people like it. If they don't they can go fuck themselves."

Was laughing at all the Liam haircuts at the end, until I saw myself in the mirror...

[@midasbelmontttv]

Good one.

[@fshoaps]

Every one of his haircuts look cool. Come on, man.

[@ryanabram4940]

Liam Gallagher is such a genuine human being. He cares so much about his fans, letting them hug him and kiss him, and take pictures and shit. What a guy, and their new record is fucking quality.

[@gidser]

Has anyone else noticed Archer is the image of Paul McCartney? ?

[@jeremysears7402]

It's striking.

[@noelsplectrum9]

That's what he's going for!

[@neaituppi7306]

+Someones account I noticed Liam looks like John, when he grows his beard.

[@kiely4561]

even has a similar tone of voice as paul aswell

[@neaituppi7306]

I have since found that Liam believes he is some kind of incarnation of John.

[@andydufresne87]

Can't help, love Liam, i don't give a fuck about the attitude or his private life. Grew up listening to Oasis, i'll always be a fan of the Gallagher brothers...

[@federicobejarano3043]

+andydufresne87 I didn't grow listening to Oasis, and they don't appear on television here in Argentina, so never really knew anything about them. Until I saw Sacha Baron Cohen on Conan, a few days ago, talking shit about Liam, So I had to check him out. He has a new big fan, that's fo sho. All thanks to that Cohen piece of shit

[@nenabunena]

haha! i grew up in the 90s when oasis was huge but aside from wonderwall and a few of their tunes, i didn't really get into them until recently. and like you, it was because of that sacha baron cohen interview on conan. now i've been video marathoning oasis & interviews of the brothers. also listening to them, especially the mtv unplugged which i liked tremendously. i'm from the philippines btw

[@michaelkilcourse1517]

Me too, he was only a very young man who went from the Dole to riches very quick, and marrying a model/actress, no wonder he was Liam with the swagger, long live the gallagher boys, 2025 summer reunion ❤

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

i never understood why BEADY EYE never went further, what a great band.

[@mattiemclean9882]

Are you joking? They were shiiiiiite!

[@jacobmassey3897]

They thought they'd have the Oasis fan base but only the hardcore fans knew anything about them. I only found out who they were when they split up and then went back and heard their tunes.

[@justint9517]

Because Andy went back to his band Ride and Gem and Chris went to work with Noels band....Liam is a great singer but comes across as a bitter annoying man with serious jealousy issues regarding Noel

[@curiositycat22]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lart4933]

⁠@@jacobmassey3897 “hardcore fans would know that Noel wrote everything and liams vocals have been shite since early 2000s, Noel launched same sort of time as these so people were more interested in what he was gonna produce imo. That being said I like beady eye but there was just something missing maybe Liam was the issue?!

[@andydyce2205]

I love it when Liam says, "I've done my bit". You certainly have man! And keep doing your bit because once you stop, that's when rock'n'roll officially dies.

[@mic9122]

Liam looks genuine and happy here with his band. I'm glad now he's successful again, even compared to his brother, but it still breaks my heart a little when I think about BE

[@MaxiZamac]

Underrated band left in the shadow of Oasis, the second album 'Be' is a masterpiece.

[@lanahoward2209]

That guy from back in day Manchester when he told that story man it broke my heart seriously. Most people would not even talk to people they used to fuck around with and get high with before they get signed or whatever,but Liam actually signed the picture for him so he could earn extra for the fucking paintings. That fucking touched my heart and made me cry. Liam has always been true to himself and if you really look he is a really kind soul deep down.

[@noorimeldaelle3403]

Hello Lana yes u are HELL right! Honestly i was really disappointed when beady eye and oasis broke up! I started listening to oasis when i was 14 in 1996 and continued listening to them. When oasis broke up and formed beady eye i continued listened cause to me Liam Gallagher is fucking massive!

[@theodorebouchet321]

oh for sure Liam's a really loving person it's obvious

[@MedalionDS9]

Thank you for the good times Beady Eye for as short a ride it was, I enjoyed it!

[@tgbitw17]

This album is fucking genius and only time will reveal that fact to the world. It's much deeper than may appear at first glance. Props...

[@5tonney]

Its a shame they broke up. Liam Gallagher, the greatest front man in the past 25 years, Gem Archer and Jay Mehler both proven themselves as great guitarists same with Andy Bell on the bass. Fair enough their song writing ability isn't amazing, yet on the BE album there wasn't a song that suggested they was bad at writing. I think the market for rock music like this that takes strong inspiration from previous rock music throughout the decades is always going to struggle in today's music industry. Maybe 10 or 20 years ago Beady Eye would of been one of the biggest bands in Britain. It also doesn't help that everybody is a oasis fan, meaning that the oasis fans who's first choice of music isn't rock (Maybe techno, rap, pop etc) will see Beady Eye just to see Liam Gallagher to hope he plays a oasis song or two and not let Beady Eye be Beady Eye

[@makeyourself1988]

What Liam done for his old mate I thought was incredible. I think Liam is a awesome guy

[@space75gr]

its sad that "Beady Eye are no longer"...thank u for the music

[@Allenda100]

I just love that whether Oasis, Beady Eye or High Flying Birds, they keep at it. Liam is humble enough to say he has to learn how to write songs in many of his interviews. Noel may not say much, but his videos show he is not the front man "rock star" that Liam is, and Noel states he was happy being the guy on the side playng guitar. So being apart is teaching both that neither had easy shoes to fill in Oasis. Perhaps after learning that they need each other, they can mend the riff and get back together. And if not, may both find their own way to be successful at doing what they love without the other. :)

[@theodorebouchet321]

I think noel actually was tired of being the guitarist and letting his brother sing his songs even though he's a million times better as a frontman and the sad thing is that I really think noel has completely moved on from oasis he will never reform the band

[@MatthewStuartThomson]

At NGHFB gig's the fans scream out for Liam and Oasis, but at Beady Eye gig's all I could hear was everyone screaming for Beady Eye, Liam, Gem and Andy!

[@laceMcKenna-tp3so]

Liam is just as addictive off stage as he is on stage. Definitely, no maybe about it. He keeps rocking roll alive.

[@sramirezstreet8]

No one talks about that bit where Liam’s talking with Debbie?! God they look so cute

[@deetorres9454]

hes literally wearing a wedding band lol

[@robertcoulter7592]

Just spotted that!

[@bobbyleestamper9783]

GREAT BAND! BE was a Fantastic album... Well composed and perfectly recorded. All the songs are arranged nicely. Liam is a True RockStar!

[@paullangton-rogers2390]

25:00 onwards, awesome vocal delivery and sound... he's sounding more like Lennon than ever, made the hairs on my neck stand up!! A lot of people give Liam stick for his attitude and some say he's not musically talented and Noel is the musician, but this album proves Liam is in a different league as a front man and singer. One of a kind.

[@fshoaps]

Agreed. Liam’s Beady Eye period sounds, in vocals, and songwriting the most Lennon-y out of anything Liam has put out.

[@sensationalopie]

RiP Beady Eye 2009 - 2014 , Live Oasis !

[@esefosseassim]

"I was born to be on the cover. Is not arrogance, is just fact"

[@maxhawtin5364]

Beady eye are extremely underrated

[@dickflavor6777]

Yep, for a solid reason.

[@maxhawtin5364]

Dick Flavor go on whats the reason

[@dickflavor6777]

For starters, you're a fan.

[@maxhawtin5364]

carry on

[@dickflavor6777]

If it wasn't Liam's project and a new young band released these songs on bandcamp you and your eyebrows would have no interest. The music alone would not elevate these tunes to a wider audience. If anything, Beady Eye are hugely overrated due to chaps like yourself who buy their elan in the High Street/Mall. It's why youth culture has stagnated for the past 20 years. Nothing is grass roots, DIY, fuck the man attitude, anymore. Millennials need their hands held and walked to the spot marked 'this is cooool!' where they are spoon fed tepid diarrhea from the arse of hasbeens.

[@richyp73]

Say what you like about Liam. You have to give him credit he nevers gives up and he dares to go out and does what he loves do and that is being part of the music scene within a band . Whether people like it or not. This album is by far much better than the first . But the wisdom lies here with Liam. Never quit.

[@OZHKAR1]

thanks Noisey, I was waiting for this ;)

[@manchester1000]

"i was born to be on the front covers man,it's not arrogance,it's a fact"

[@Wearethewingmakers]

It’s a fine album, better than the first in my opinion.

[@Ryang403]

Liam is a true one off. Im real glad that he comes from England. We shud be real proud of him and Noel. Man i know he dont like to look back but in his prime he was really something. think beady eye r cappable of some amazing work. When i heard THE BEAT GOES ON [ andy bells effort well done son] i cudnt stop playing it what a song that is, n thort these lads still hav it. Woteva they do they l always be worth going to watch. My couson went to see them a while ago, n she said they wer brilliant.

[@27shocking]

This was a great surprise! Really well filmed and flowed beautifully it was like bein there.

[@JosephGallagher]

I think a 3rd album from Beady Eye would have defined them as a proper band. Liam, three albums in, sounds more like Oasis now than Beady ever did.

[@RuvensivyerBlogspot]

It is possible to like both Liam and Noel at the same time. Amazing I know.

[@AydinRD]

Really interesting watch. Its made me want to check out the album. Its sad seeing Liam comment on Oasis, can tell he really loved that band and will reform in an instant. Hopefully they will come back for a reunion tour sometime

[@nenabunena]

yeah, me too liked that last tune they played

[@GrotesqueDestiny]

He is one of a kind, awesome singning voice.

[@TheHonkcat]

Great band, great singer; I hope there is an OASIS reunion and they come to the states so I can see and hear them.

[@space75gr]

very good documentary and it's good to see so many views about it. Beady Eye released an excellent new album (BE) and that film is a good guide for the album and the world of Beady Eye. i d love to see more stuff like this,

[@noelsplectrum9]

It's shocking people never gave beady eye a fair crack. In my drunk opinion both albums are better than Noel's,comfortably!

[@TheGingerburger]

I think it was the name if they had called the band Liam Gallagher's beady eyes or something else with Liam Gallagher in the name they would have done better

[@mayank-ys8up]

@@TheGingerburger that's exactly what Noel thought when he named his band NGHFB

[@fshoaps]

Beady Eye was proper music, man. Hope Liam, Gem and Andy reunite in the studio. Magic happened with those 3.

[@napoca01]

That video was proper good man. Ive been a fan of Liam since 1994.

[@cachiruleta]

I never have been an Oasis "fan", but Beady Eye FUCKING blow me away. 'BE', what a brilliant album.

[@shedboystu]

beady eye have moved to the next level with this album, love noel as well but watch out bud you have some serious competition

[@LawrenceBrayMusic]

Great film ..Rock 'n' Roll continues to live on !

[@GordAlmighty]

Despite what the sales say Liam, you are moving in the right direction. Fantastic album. Great documentary.

[@lewiesmedia]

been waiting thanks.

[@VincentVanVirgil]

Liam talks and walks just so liamly :D

[@TheHonkcat]

Love Liam, and whatever he does is fine with me. I'm 52 and just listened to Oasis last year for the 1st time and they are 1 of the greatest of all time. Makes me wish I could say "I'm from Manchester."

[@ashleystyles6888]

Not an oasis fan not a beady eye fan but agree oasis/Gallagher brothers were and are true British icons. I think allowing the fans upstairs for a surprise session was a nice touch. Respect due. Maybe I'll now go listen to the album......

[@charliechaz1982]

Is it only me who preferred Beady Eye to HFB? It's actually Noel who has stuck to the same old tired formula and his voice on record is not as strong as Liam. BE is a little masterpiece which surprises. It's the biggest boldest jump either of them have taken away from the Oasis sound. Liam's songs on the last Oasis album were also stronger yet people worship Noel more because he wrote some decent songs 20 years ago (admittedly they are classics) but it's 20 years ago. Move on. Beady Eye shouldn't have stopped.

[@Crave88evarC]

Chris Knight I am so fucking tired of people saying. "Without Noel Oasis wouldnt have happened" etc... Noel is shit without Liam.

[@TheFXP]

Crave88evarC Until Liam completely destroyed his voice and Noel than had to literally carry Oasis on his back from 2000 til the end

[@MrSotaPhonk]

Crave88evarC and liam is SHIT without noel lmao

[@Crave88evarC]

MrSotaPhonk Maybe, but I still stand by my point rofl

[@jnixa1010]

Crave88evarC I agree, and I will never stop saying that Noel cannot sing. Or at least frontman level sing...he is an OK singer, no charisma, no special-ness to his voice. Liam is a quintessential front man, and when he is right and taking care, a good singer.

[@dekadenser]

really nice video, Liam is a true rock n roll star and a role model forever

[@bittabanter99]

Great to see him not completely dismissing the idea of a reunion, would be majestic, here's hoping it's not too far away. Live Forever.

[@deetorres9454]

Debbie was hangin around waiting for the right moment to strike eh

[@SoAmazinglyCrafty1]

am i the only one that thinks this was liams best haircut and overall look

[@space75gr]

great work here about a great band

[@STEVEYBOYK]

I enjoyed that. Top stuff !

[@jonnybradshaw1752]

No reunion EVER! Be happy with Liam back soon

[@maccasam89]

its just ROCK N ROLL. love everything about beady eye they r the bollocks. love the album. hope they do a bigger tour cus i want a new tee shirt ha! LIAM

These dudes are all like Noel's children rebelling against their true daddy.

[@ashleeb2162]

Seems like

[@emtom1966]

Liam should come with subtitles.

Champagne Supernova OK, but what about the other 99% of the world?

[@tombarker2680]

+Bronstantine you can still have your mother tongue as English and not always understand Liam

[@tombarker2680]

+Tubsy malone Lol are you an idiot? There's so many different accents for English, it's very common for people to not understand someone from a different region

[@tombarker2680]

I highly doubt you've spoken to every accent from England. lol you really have got yourself in a tizz haven't you, not sure how you worked out that i was in choir but i was and at least my school had a choir. you probably got kicked out so you wouldn't even know if yours did

[@Partoftheratpack]

Enjoyed that.

[@OoooHan]

you have him misunderstood. honest and wears his heart on his sleeve but straights like you dont appreciate that

[@tonebenderx]

Fun doc. I'm eager to hear the band play live when they come to the US. Liam reminds me of a rapper in that he takes himself too seriously. He is a pop star after all - no matter what kind of a hard-ass attitude he cops.

[@markstrekalov8156]

hope that gig @ the ritz will be released someday

[@louiso.4325]

Can't believe they called it quits....

[@bradkingsland6283]

Good for Liam, hope he does well, I like him, I hate over polite people don't trust them.

[@matttedeschi9646]

7 fools

[@Loud0glbc]

this was very well done

[@edulebreton]

Excelente muchachos! Realmente recorre la euforia el sentimiento por esta música y por la figura de Liam. Interesante y conmovedor. Sin dudas, el cierre con el in crescendo de Flick of the finger es un "start anew". With love from Buenos Aires.

[@BikiniDeathSquad]

"you gotta have hair like mine to be in the band you know what I mean Fuckin hell" -Liam starting Beady Eye

[@lukechambers691]

Great documentary.

[@neaituppi7306]

In hindsight, after watching this, I believe everything Noel said about how they split. How Liam got pissed because Noel wouldn't go along with the pretty green thing, and started throwing shit and swinging guitars. The guy is volatile. He threatened to stab sacha baron cohen in the eye, when he was drunk. He looked like he was getting pissed when the other guys in the band were talking during an interview. he is probably cool 80% of the time, but that 20% leaves a mark.

[@HighFlyingEYE]

what a great little documentry this is its a shame it wasnt on for longer i could watch this all day we get to see the real liam and not the media created goon most people think he is

[@jakesteiner1689]

Just seen these live, they were fuckin AMAZING!

[@thechildrenofthe90s]

great work!

[@syringesinthasandbox]

Amen to that. I want a RIDE reunion big time!

Spot on Scott ! Lets see if we're having these discussions about the lead singer of any of the bands doing it now in 20 years time. LG rocks always has and always fuckin will x peace

[@utubeisCensorred]

Huge, huge oasis fan. I love Noels solo stuff for the most part, and I'm really into Liam's new solo album.. but I never got that into beady eye. They had a few OK tracks but the songs just weren't there. Different band, I know but it just felt like a few guys trying to carry on with the heart ripped out, which is what it was. I'm glad Liam got some good song writers to back him up. It's funny too to see these hardcore fans, god love em.

[@juliolazzagonzalez]

Happy b' day Liam!!! William John Paul "Liam" Gallagher (nacido el 21 de septiembre de 1972), Es un cantante y compositor inglès, conocido por haber sido vocalista de Oasis y vocalista de su actual banda Beady Eye. Es famoso por su actitud. A pesar de las diferentes opiniones, Liam fue una de los líderes del movimiento britpop en los años 90, y continúa hasta el día de hoy siendo uno de los personajes característicos y más reconocibles de la música británica.

[@gojustyle]

This record sounds beast!

[@sionlewis827]

+LIAM LIAMESQUE You'll be waiting a long time mate seeing as they've split

[@treid100182]

+Sion Lewis Doesn't matter that anyone splits... it's the end product...which we have yet to see... 'cause Oasis is NOT Liam's 'end product.' He might not get along with his bro... but he's not your bro, so just listen to the music... 'tis all.

[@sionlewis827]

+treid100182 What's your point? 'but he's not your bro, so just listen to the music''. What on earth are you on about? I replied to a comment that read, ''great album... we want more''. I pointed out the obvious fact that Beady Eye are no longer, so don't expect any new material any time soon, if ever. As for Oasis, that ship has sailed in my opinion and as long as Liam refuses to grow up, there's not a chance that Noel will go back. He has no need to neither.

[@treid100182]

fair enough... I had no idea they disbanded.

[@sionlewis827]

There was no big announcement or anything like that. He (Liam) tweeted, ''Beady Eye are no more'' and that was it. Gem Archer and Andy Bell have since both said that they didn't think Liam's heart was in it any more. Shame really, thought both albums were very good, a lot better than most of us thought they would be, if we're all honest.

[@kittyHarmful]

what an amazing documentary! as the guy said, Liam is the last true and proper rock n roll star, that's a fact.

All I can say about the feeling disheartened by the fact you aint selling out huge stadiums is the people who are fans are fans an they are enjoying the work whether it sells 1 record 101 or 101010101010101010101010101010101 ... an its great that BE are releasing quality music an im happy to have heard it an play it . feel it . enjoy it etc an Liam is in better form LIVE an VOCALLY now than he has been since god knows when . so it pays to be a fan .. keep doing ur best cos we deserve it etc

[@IsaacJ143]

enjoyed this

[@Rob.S-]

I think the idea of the rock star is at this time more important than ever.People need a idea that they can almost,in a way live vicariously through.Liam Gallagher seems like the last ray of hope in those regards.Beady eye has put together a amazing album, a album that I think in years to come has the possibility of being a classic,In the eyes of some at least.Let's hope that that happens.

[@Cracktune]

you understand who is in the band, right? masters, man. masters
