Oasis the Truth - McCarroll Tony
In 1991, five wannabe Mancunian musicians came together and cracked a spark that was to ignite the explosion which became Oasis. Pre Oasis, drummer Tony McCarroll joined a band called The Rain, linking up with guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, bassist Paul McGuigan and singer Chris Hutton. The band went from obscurity to become a global phenomenon in the space of a year, achieving world-wide recognition and selling over 70 million records.
What started out as five young lads with a common dream of becoming rock stars eventually disintegrated into in-fighting, clashes of egos and finanical disputes. Hutton was later replaced by Liam Gallagher who in turn brought brother Noel along. In 1995, following the release of Definitely Maybe - the fastest-selling debut of all time - things came to a head and Tony left the band.
In this candid and hilarious book, Tony tells one of the most in-depth rock 'n' roll stories of modern times. He reveals the truth about the early years before the band was even formed; he tells of the drinking and drug consumption. Plus, he talks of his much-publicised rift with Noel Gallagher.Tony's recollections include stories involving David Beckham, Prince, Eric Cantona and John McEnroe.
