    Can Liam Gallagher influence music the way that Johnny Rotten and the Pistols did? No.

    'Sex Pistols' and 'music' in the same sentence....snigger

    why is this in after hours?
    Beady eye are rubbish and Liam is a prick. I wish them all the worst and I won't be wasting anymore time on the subject.

    Had to laugh at Liam slagging off Daft Punk last week. He has form for this kind of rubbish, but this was a new low for him, piggybacking on someone else's success...

    He made the headlines because of it though. Oh and wait, what a coincidence, it just so happens his band are releasing a new album next week :rolleyes:

    A derivative thick like Liam Gallagher could only dream of creating some of PIL's best work.

    By creating such abominable noise that real, talented musicians were motivated to make actual music?

    Taking it back to the basics.

    Anything more than three chords and you're showing off.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the Pistols were a beautiful and furious noise. I don't know if they "saved" rock and roll but they certainly re-wrote the rules.

    I actually liked Oasis in their day and also Liam Gallagher as a vocalist and front man back then,

    The question though was whether he could create work on the basis of PIL (or even the Pistols) all by himself and the evidence so far is most certainly not.

    The idea that Rock and Rol needed saving id just a retrospective music press confection.

    The Sex Pistols are the only band I can think of who threw out one of their members for being too musically talented and replaced him with a total moron who could barely play an instrument.

    I once read that Steve Jones offered Glen Matlock a sandwich. When he started eating the sandwich he said "this mayonnaise tastes weird". It turned out it wasn't mayonnaise at all; Steve Jones had masturbated into the sandwich.

    I could never stand Liam Gallagher. I used to think Oasis had some good songs that were spoiled by his annoying voice.

    Completely and utterly irrelevant. I don't care how they acted, I'm saying they had no talent and wrote terrible music

    Hmmm....


    Musicianship is only one part by which I enjoy punk or rock music.
    If music was all about great musicianship we'd all be listening to Miles Davis, or whatever.

    Question is........ Will I be able to play a beady eye track to 10 people in 20 years time and have half of them recognise it?

    Sex pistols, one album and music history is changed forever.
    They were punk............. what came after was punk rock.

    There are other factors to musicians other than music, showmanship, character, cultural impact etc..but if they can't make good music in the first place, all else is null and void
