Beady Eye‘s new video for “Shine a Light” is a head-turner, but it’s got nothing to do with the music. The clip includes scenes involving frontman Liam Gallagher surrounded by naked women.
The band’s latest album ‘BE’ debuted at #2 on the UK Albums Chart, but barely made a blip in the U.S. So now the naked ladies arrive in an attempt to drum up interest – but unless those ladies can coerce Gallagher to reunite with Oasis, that’s not very likely. However, watchers do get to watch the band pretend to eat a medieval style feast with a model dressed as a nun. So there’s that.
It’s hard not to feel just a little bad for Gallagher, the guy who clearly believes in his own brand of cool far more than anyone else in the room. The nudity is an innocuous offering that’s far from edgy, unlike the sexually charged NSFW goods in Robin Thicke’s now-classic “Blurred Lines” video.
