Could it be because they've evolved into a bit more of a band-format since these days? Back then it was Liam who was responsible for everything muscially on stage so he had greater freedom to fuck around with the tracks. These days with a drummer and guitarist in tow things naturally need to be a bit more formatted otherwise the left hand wouldn't know what the right hand's doing next.
You say it like the guitarist and drummer were forced upon them and they're making do and working with it; they chose to have them, so I reckon Liam just wants a break now. Like Oprah dropping her show and just launching her own TV network. Just he's not a black woman.
Nah don't get me wrong, I was simply pointing out why things may have changed a bit from the days where everything sounded a bit more 'raw' live, i.e. you could really tell it was Liam controlling the base sounds and components of each tune. Personally I'm glad they took on the guitarist and drummer.
As for comparing Liam's decision to add live instruments to Oprah's decision to stop her own show, that's probably the most random comparison I've ever heard. Well done.
