Liam Gallagher - Vocals Noelle Gallagher - Vocals/Writer Paul Arthurs - Guitar Paul McGuigan - Bass Alan White- Drums
Out of Manchester Liam Gallagher (Vocals), Paul Arthurs (Guitar), Paul McGuigan (Bass), and Tony McCaroll (Drums) are the fab four that formed Rain in 1991. Noelle Gallagher (Vocals/ Writer) joined the group and took his post as first in command after changing the groups name to Oasis. With a slew of private rehearsals under their belt, Oasis recorded a demo that landed in the hands of Creation Records. The group was signed and work on their first album ensued.
Oasis flashed from obscurity when their music began topping charts. Having a slew of blisteringly successful singles helped debut the groups maiden album, Definitely Maybe, at number one. Selling over a million albums in the U.K. in 1994, Oasis quickly gained popularity in the states while touching gold status.
In the true vein of rock and roll, sex and drugs blatantly fused themselves in the day to day lives of the band. Strained relationships lead to the departure of Tony McCaroll in 1995, who was replaced by Alan White. As tension mounted the brothers Gallagher began quarreling amongst themselves. U.S. tours were canceled due to insurmountable differences, and the band returned to the U.K. Rumors soon began to fly of an inevitable split. The band stayed together releasing their second album Morning Glory, which again debut at number one in the U.K. Oasis went on to record many more albums putting their differences aside for their love of music.
