About this listen

 In 1991, five wannabe Mancunian musicians came together and cracked a spark that was to ignite the explosion which became Oasis. 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. In 1995, following the release of Definitely Maybe – the fastest-selling debut of all time – things came to a head and drummer Tony McCarroll 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.©2010 Anthony McCarroll/Richard Dolan (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing Entertainment & Celebrities Music Celebrity Witty Sports Thought-Provoking Inspiring

I was looking forward to this, now don’t get me wrong it was a decent story but why would you let a Yonner read a Manc story. Proper done my head in, he cunt even get L.S. Lowery name right.
