Oasis Supersonic Supernova

"Oasis" is a trip down Abbey Road in the '90s--a pop-fest for the masses, Johnny Rotten and the fabulous four hunkered down into two rowdy, infectious, sullen bards. 8 b&w photos.

A short read on the history of my favorite band and the internal splintering of Liam and Noel Gallagher.

Knebworth 1996 must’ve been biblical……

So Oasis did it all to take a piss. These are not my words mind you, these are the words of Oasis and it's exactly what they did to the britpop music scene of the mid-90's, they took a piss on it and enjoyed every minute of their meteoric rise and subsequent disappearing act. There is not a band born of more ego and outright audaciousness than the band profiled in this book, which actually held quite a few deeply personal stories and interesting physiological insight into what it took to make Oasis click. It really comes down to the brothers when discussing Oasis. The older one Nole and younger brat Liam were able to harness exactly what they loved about music that inspired them while not sacrificing who they were as artists and were able to shake the dust off of a sound not reached since, well... the Beatles.

The book overall feels light but then again there is not much to say after the infamous MTV Unplugged, which proved to be the final stand of a band that had so much left to prove. For hardcore Oasis fans only.
