HISTORY

Oasis are a popular British rock band originally formed in Manchester, England. The band is led by brothers Noel Gallagher (principal songwriting, lead guitar, and occasional vocalist) and the younger Liam Gallagher (lead vocals and songwriting), who are the only remaining original band members. The line-up is completed by Gem Archer (rhythm/lead guitar, keyboards and songwriting), Andy Bell (bass guitar, lead guitar, keyboards and songwriting). Zak Starkey - the son of Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr, is the band's temporary drummer.
Musically and lyrically, they cite bands from the British Invasion such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Kinks amongst their influences as well as 1970s glam rock music, such as Slade and T. Rex. They also cite The Sex Pistols, The La's, The Stone Roses, and The Smiths as key influences.
Thanks to the success of their critically acclaimed debut album Definitely Maybe and its 19 million selling follow-up, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?; coupled with a rivalry with contemporary band Blur, Oasis became one of the most successful and prominent British bands of the mid-90s and one of the leaders of the Britpop movement. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspaper stories, and cultivated a reputation as both bad boys and the band of the people. At the height of their fame, their 1997 third album Be Here Now reached #1 in the UK charts and also became the fastest-selling album in chart history, with almost half a million copies sold on the first day alone.
Having survived the loss of founding members and sustaining support from their loyal fan base, Oasis have managed to outlast many of their Britpop contemporaries. Suede, Pulp and some other peer groups have split up, or record only infrequently (Blur), while Oasis maintain a regular schedule of releases and touring to popular acclaim. Oasis have sold more than 50 million records worldwide (including singles).

(1991-1993) Early years and breakthrough

Oasis' original line-up, 1991-1995: Tony McCarroll, Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, Liam Gallagher, Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan and Noel GallagherOasis evolved from an earlier band called The Rain, who took their name from a 1966 Beatles B-side. The Rain comprised Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan (bass guitar), Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs (guitar), Tony McCarroll (drums) and Chris Hutton (vocals). When McGuigan invited school friend Liam Gallagher to join the group, Gallagher accepted, and quickly pushed for the band's name to be changed to Oasis. Although there have been many theories on where Liam got the name from, he got it from an Inspiral Carpets tour poster which was in his and Noel's bedroom. One of the venues on it was the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon.

Oasis first played live in August of 1991, at the Boardwalk club in Manchester. Noel Gallagher, who had recently heard of Liam's involvement when he phoned his mother whilst on tour in Germany as a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets, came to watch his younger brother play. A few months later he was invited to join the band. Although he had been critical of them, he agreed, with the provision that he would become the band's sole songwriter and leader, and that they would commit to an earnest pursuit of commercial success.

After over a year of live shows, rehearsals and even taking the time out to record a proper demo (known as the Live Demonstration tape), the band's big break came in May 1993 when they were spotted by Creation Records co-owner Alan McGee. Oasis were invited to play a gig at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut club in Glasgow, Scotland, by a band, called Sister Lovers, who shared their rehearsal rooms. Oasis, along with a group of friends, found the money to hire a van and make the six-hour journey to Glasgow. When they arrived, they were refused entry to the club as they were not on that night's set list, which reportedly caused the band to bully their way in (although both the band and Alan McGee have given contradicting statements about how they actually managed to get into the club on that night)[1]. They were given the opening slot and impressed McGee, who was there to see 18 Wheeler, one of his own bands, that night. McGee was so impressed by what he saw, he offered Oasis a recording contract on the spot after the gig.

(1994-1998) Britpop era and height of fame

The first of many notorious incidents came in February 1994 when the band were involved in a high-profile incident on a ferry off the coast of the Netherlands. Liam Gallagher and McGuigan were arrested for fighting, whilst Arthurs and McCarroll were detained for alleged shoplifting. All four were subsequently refused entry to the Netherlands.

Following a limited white label release of the demo of their song "Columbia", their first single "Supersonic" was released in April 1994, reaching #31 in the charts. Their third single "Live Forever," was their first to enter the Top 10 of the UK charts. After troubled recording and mixing sessions, their debut album Definitely Maybe was finally finished and was released in September 1994, entering the charts at #1, and at the time becoming the fastest selling debut album ever in the UK.

Noel Gallagher's penchant for taking the odd riff or lyrics from other artists was now becoming notorious. The track "Cigarettes & Alcohol" had a main riff which Noel Gallagher admitted he'd taken directly from T. Rex's 1972 release "Get it On". "Supersonic" had a guitar solo reminscent of George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and "Shakermaker" was reportedly the subject of legal action by the New Seekers due to the heavy similarity with their song "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing".

The best part of a year of constant live performances and recordings, along with a typically hedonistic lifestyle commonplace in young rock bands, were starting to tire the band out and a breaking point was finally hit during a gig in Los Angeles in September 1994 where some members of the band (but not including Noel) were allegedly under the influence of crystal meth, leading to a shambolic performance. This upset Noel to such an extent that he temporarily quit the band immediately after and flew to San Francisco without telling anyone. Noel was allegedly in such a state at one time, he was talked off a window ledge in a hotel room. He was calmed down in the coming days by friends and work colleagues and recovered enough to rejoin the band in a Texas recording studio in October 1994 to record new songs, most notably "Talk Tonight" which directly related to his recent experiences. Two of these songs were released as b-sides on Oasis' Christmas single EP "Whatever" which peaked at #3 in the UK charts and foreshadowed the band's move toward a mellower sound on the following album.

On June 23 the group headlined the first night of the annual Glastonbury Festival, the UK's foremost music festival. Here they performed a number of new songs including "Roll With It" and "Don't Look Back In Anger" but their performance was given a lukewarm reception by the critics. Wonderwall was given its world public premiere the next day, when Noel performed a solo acoustic version for UK TV's Channel 4.
During this period, the British media seized upon a supposed rivalry between Oasis and fellow Britpop band Blur. Noel Gallagher played along, telling The Observer that he hoped Damon Albarn and Alex James of Blur would "catch AIDS and die". He subsequently apologised for this in a formal letter to Melody Maker magazine.
