Liam Gallagher: As It Was [DVD]

Entertaining from start to finish, I can understand why some people don’t like Liam, but when you watch this you can’t deny he’s as real as they come, which means a lot to millions of people and he is still one of the greatest rock roll stars. I would recommend watching it.

A great watch for any fan of Liam Gallagher. There came across a very vulnerable admission of love for his brother and a great desire to get Oasis back together again. it maybe felt like an invitation, although it remains to be seen if Noel is as cold as he is portrayed. he certainly comes across as the more arrogant and confident of the two in my experience.overall this was Interesting, insightful and personal, although I was disappointed not to have had more insight into his health. Topics of depression and his Hashimotos hypo-thyroid condition could have been discussed and explored in more detail and I think many would have found that fascinating and helpful.There have been snippets and references to both in interviews etc, so it would have been good for all that to come together in this documentary film."The greatest rock n roll comeback of all time" as the cover reads, might be a bit generous with this history of rock n roll and reunions / comebacks considered, but if you think about it, from his perspective, and if you agree that he's the greatest rock no roller of all time, then it's a comeback of that!I actually think they could be onto something here with this film. I for one would welcome a series like The Osbournes with Liam at the centre of it all! maybe that's 20 years too early!

Full disclosure: I am a huge fan of Oasis music and was hoping that this documentary would shed some light on some of their past. If you've watched "Supersonic" and some other documentaries about Oasis, there isn't really much new here. The story told here seems to be how Liam Gallagher would like to be remembered; it provides no insights on his behaviors before today. I expected this to be a "coming to terms with the past" and "how I have grown as a person" documentary. The past only covers what's already been shown a million times; nothing about the time when he was married, why he got divorced, or what his relationship with his ex-wives is like now. We see some of his kids who appear to enjoy a moment in the spotlight. I was hoping that Liam made this documentary to fill in some gaps for fans, maybe make some apologies or at least explain behaviors, and share what he's doing today. But there was no information on why he used to sometimes stop singing during concerts and leave the stage, leaving the rest of Oasis to continue the show without him. My wild guess is that it was related to drugs and anxiety...who knows. Liam started his career wearing sports gear and anoraks. Then he seemed to have a phase where he wore regular clothing, sweaters, even a blazer that looked more like something Robbie Williams would wear (see "Let there be Love" video) on stage, abandoning his need to hide in large anoraks. And now he's back to the anorak. I'd have loved to understand what went on in his life to seemingly feel more confident for a while (when he was married?) before he went back to "hiding" his body in huge jackets. Mabye all of it relates to his witnessing his dad abuse his brother and mother? In the end, it's clear that Liam is afraid of his legecy and dying, especially after his previous lifestyle, and he's trying to make the most out of his (now seemingly) more sober life, with a focus on his kids. I don't think he's had the greatest comeback of all times but I wish him luck, as I love listening to Oasis; not so much Liam's new music.

A strong four stars only let down by a few dodgy editorial choices, some background music that just didn't belong in there.Watch it and you'll see.But don't get me wrong. This is good. And again, it's nice to see Liam in a good light.He's in a good place now.Noel doesn't seem to be doing himself any favours at all these days.Like the rest, I hope one day they sort out their differences.

Went to the Live Stream on Thursday night and downloaded it again on Saturday night to watch again with my boyfriend. He loved it as much as I did. Loved every minute of this doco and saw Liam in a completely different light. What a rock and roll legend he is! If you're a fan, you will love this. If you're not, you probably won't!

I love Oasis, i love Noel, Liam is a man in an ongoing conflict with himself and the world at large, i was hoping to get some more insight into this but as with a lot of self authored documentaries its doesnt scratch too deep beneath the uncomfortable surface.That said, its entertaining, which is why everyone loves Liam, you cant deny his energy and his sincerity, the man is entertaining and clearly the persona he presents is the persona he is, as he says he keeps it real.He has mellowed a little with age as most humans do, but you can still sense the fire and hes probably one or two benders away from a seismic outburst, he keeps you on the edge and remains a captivating and engaging rock and roll star.Overall its decent look at one of the few remaining characters in British Music, i suspect most people watching this will already know whats in store, so as the man himself so often states its very much as you were.

I really enjoyed this. It's good to see how age and falling down has both humbled him, and made him remember what is important. And after all, what is Rock N Roll if not totally owning and celebrating your blues? No none does that better than Liam. There's a lot of feeling in his new stuff. He deserves all the success and praise his comeback is bringing him in my opinion. I have to say, his new music has surprised me by the quality; it's much better than his brothers; and a dare it say it, he actually seems like a really nice bloke these days. Just when you think new music and youth has no place for it anymore, Rock n Roll it would seem, is not done yet. The break did him good.
