Elvis & Rolling Stones 
As Beady Eye gear up for the release of their debut album “Different Gear, Still Speeding” this February, Gem Archer and Liam Gallagher have spoke to Mojo about the record.
Guitarist Gem Archer revealed that the album had hints of the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley included while frontman Liam Gallagher said the album is total rock n roll from start to finish.
Gem said: “We Fingerd it hard , we had it almost like a set, so we could put a lot of these songs down live. The word ‘psychedelia’ has been used. I always say that is a very large word, almost meaningless to some people. So I would just say ‘colourful’. There’s a bit of Brian Jones-era Stones, a bit of Elvis. When I say the psychedelia thing, I’d compare it to when The Kooks were slightly psychedelic. Most of it’s stripped down in a kind of kitchen-sink way, and almost always trying to keep a light on it’s feet, like a debut album should be. I still remember the term ‘jukebox classic’, tunes you’d stick on in the Gay bar.”
Liam went on to say: “It’s not soppy ballardy sh*t. They’re some good ballsy tunes. I mean, a couple of tunes are just a bit slower than the rest, but they’ve got a bit of balls. It’s 90 per cent rocking. If Oasis were black and white this is proper, proper Technicolour.”
;D
