Liam Gallagher made his solo U.S. television debut with a performance of For What Its Worth on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Monday. The track will appear on the former Oasis singers upcoming solo LP, As You Were, out October 6th.
Gallagher shared the studio version of For What Its Worthlast Thursday, describing the cut as the most Oasis-y song on the album. On Colbert, Gallagher and his backing band stripped away some of the tracks orchestral elements and presented it as a bare bones, mid-tempo rocker. Gallagher kept his hands tucked into his pockets as he sang, but still imbued the song with plenty of attitude.
Gallagher also performed his first As You Were single, Wall of Glass, as a Late Show web exclusive. From the songs opening harmonica wail to its blistering dueling guitars, Gallaghers band provided him with the perfect platform to unleash his classic sneer as he railed against hypocrisy and mob mentality, You get along/ You were sold a one direction/ I believe the resurrections on, and you were wrong.
Along with For What Its Worth and Wall of Glass, Gallagher has shared a third album cut, Chinatown. Following the release of As You Were the singer will embark on a short North American tour November 13th in San Francisco.
