Tony McCaroll was oasis's drummer from 1992 to April 1995, when he left due to internal disagreements.

Britpop Myth - About Oasis in the last 10 years of the 20th century. After continuous rehearsals, Oasis recorded a demo tape, and Noel Gallagher gave it to Alan, the boss of the famous British independent record company Creation. McGee. Soon Oasis signed a contract with Creation. After joining the record company, oasis first released their first single "Supersonic" in April 1994, which instantly topped the UK independent record charts. They then continued to create "I'd" Like to Teach the World to Sing" and "Shakermaker" will later be classified as classic works. The success of these number one singles not only attracted the attention of critics and fans, but also laid a good foundation for the hot sales of their debut album.

In August 1994, the band's official album "Definitely Maybe" finally surfaced amidst the long-awaited release.

Once the album was released, it topped the domestic record charts at an incredible speed, becoming the fastest-selling debut album in British history. It has also achieved great success outside its home country, first achieving five-platinum sales in the United States, and then reaching the Top Ten in Europe and Asia. This is indeed a record that makes people happy. The entire album is recorded in a complete and orderly manner, and the music that sounds noisy has a strong pop tension. After hearing enough of the heavy sluggishness of metal and the crazy chaos of punk, music fans were like travelers discovering an oasis in the desert, and quickly fell in love with this sound that sounded more like a "revival, modern Beatles" The music, that kind of melody that is sometimes soft and melodious, sometimes exciting and soaring, has also made oasis have more and more fans. Among the best BRIT-POP albums of the 1990s selected by most music magazines, "Definitely Maybe" was also highly anticipated and ranked on the list. In 1995, after changing band members, oasis successively released championship singles such as "Some Might Say" and "Roll With It", and released its second album "Morning Glory" ("What's the Story?") in October. )Morning Glory"), thus setting off an even more intense "Oasis" craze. As the fastest-selling album after Michael Jackson's "Awesome", "Morning Glory" won more flowers and applause for oasis. For a time, whether in the UK, the United States, Europe or Asia, for those who love or pay attention to rock music, oasis has undoubtedly become the most beautiful scenery that cannot be ignored or ignored. The speed of oasis's success has truly amazed and envied the world. Faced with these impressive achievements they have achieved, people with doubts will inevitably ask: Where does oasis win? How could they realize in such a short period of time what many rock bands cannot achieve in their lifetimes? The answer can be found in the acknowledgment written by oasis at the front of the album - we must thank the "Beatles", "Sex Pistols" (Sex Pistols) and "Stone Roses" for their eternal nostalgia. band. Indeed. As the most representative band in the BRIT-POP trend of the entire 1990s, oasis was influenced by many classic rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s in the process of its music creation. This influence is as deep as the bones. This is reflected in the core of every work of the band, and is even hailed as the rebirth of the rock spirit in the 1990s. On the other hand, the growth environment of the several young people who make up oasis (the band members with the two brothers Neuer and Lim as the core almost all grew up in the mid-to-late 1980s) gives their music a kind of The more modern, alternative and experimental external form adds a lot of experimental color to its strong retro style. The slightly ironic and humorous words coupled with the intense musical arrangement are a perfect combination of the classic traditional spirit and fashionable modern techniques. It can not only please those traditional music fans who are obsessed with old-style rock, but also provide the best template for Generation X who like to experience the unique fashionable accent of New British rock. Based on this foundation, oasis naturally had the strength to win the greatest success in the shortest time, and became the unique upstart and darling of that era. This success is not only reflected in the crazy pursuit and extreme admiration of oasis and its works by music fans, but also includes the recognition and praise given to the band by various media and experts. As early as 1994, the first year of oasis' debut, the band won the "Brat" Music Award at the "Brat" Music Awards held by "NME" magazine with the album "Definitely Maybe" and a series of best-selling singles. "Best New Group", "Best Band", "Best Single" and other important awards, and in the same year won the "Brit Awards", which symbolizes the highest honor in the British music industry. Best New Band" Award.

Then in 1995, they once again won the "Best Band" and "Best Single" awards selected by "NME" magazine, and also won the "Best Album" and "Best Live Performance Group" awards. At the 1996 Brit Awards, "Oasis" won "Best Band", "Best Album", "Best Music Video" and many other super awards for its album "Morning Glory". Grand Prize, and at the end of that year won the "Best Group" and "Best Single" awards at the European Music Video Awards (MTV Europe). However, this is far from over. If the best-selling albums and the big and small awards are just a mirror image and should not be taken too seriously, then will oasis become the biggest bubble blown by the emotions of the end of the century? You shouldn't think so, if you listen to oasis music really carefully and attentively. The famous music magazine "Q" once selected a series of the most influential musicians of the 20th century in the form of voting. John Lennon and Paul McCartney of "The Beatles" ranked 1st and 2nd respectively, Kurt Cobain, the soul of "Nirvana", ranked 3rd, and Gallagher of oasis The brothers were actually able to enter the top 10 at the same time (Noel ranked 8th, Lim ranked 9th), and they were ranked ahead of Stepp, the core figure of another veteran band REM, not to mention that they were far ahead of the "Rolling Stone" "The band's guitarist Kez Richard and singer Mick Jagger as well as U2 frontman Bono. Although Paul McCartney once publicly said "They are imitating what we did thirty years ago" and other similar words when asked about why Oasis is so similar to the "Beatles" back then. , but Neuer did not take it seriously: "No one can deny that we are indeed the most successful band in British history." At the same time, he also responded to Paul McCartney, "Even if we are not the best rock band in the world , but at least we will be as great as the Beatles, it’s just that they were born earlier than us.” Neuer’s words are not irresponsible and arrogant words, because they have indeed been since the beginning of rock music. The most successful and infectious band ever. In August 1997, oasis released their third album "Be Here Now", whose musical core is obviously more inclined and closer to the essence of rock music. The heavier guitar and bass, as well as Lim's more explosive new interpretation, make people see a rock spirit full of passion and power in the popular melody. Among them, the famous champion single "D`you know what I mean" reminds us of the great bands of the 1970s, Pink Floyd or The Great Dead. It's also a fascination with sound effects, but it's made by oasis, which shows its modern and sophisticated grasp. The album sold out its initial run of 750,000 records in the first three days of its release, easily breaking the UK record sales record (the previous album "Morning Glory" also sold 12 million copies), 1998 At the end of the year, as oasis's last gift to music fans at the end of the 20th century, the album "The Masterplan (B-sides)" collected almost all of the band's most exciting B-side works throughout the 1990s. , and its launch has also made the majority of oasis fans full of hope and expectations for the arrival of the new century. In the last decade of the 20th century, oasis has remained in people's sight as one of the most popular and critics-recognized bands in the UK and even the world, and they have also accomplished this through their own efforts and strength. For the writing of the last myth in the field of music and art in the 20th century. However, as a band that always adheres to the BRIT---POP route, oasis's success is also their weakest point, which is a kind of stubborn persistence that is similar to sticking to the rules or not thinking about making progress. . Also an emerging force in British rock, "Taint" has begun to use pure Lo-Fi style to produce its new album. "Radio Fan"'s electronic products are also becoming more mature and heavy, while "Goatskin" is also looking for A new breakthrough in creation.

With the advent of the new century, almost all bands and musicians are trying possible changes, but what about oasis? They still write those melodic, destined-to-be-popular hits as always, and continue the myth they created themselves. Perhaps this can be regarded as a valuable persistence in the last few years of the last century, but the problem is that in the 21st century, when there are more and more choices, the last stroke of this myth will still be written like that Is it perfect? The band's fifth album "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants", released in February 2000, is the answer. Although it still topped the charts when it came out, fans and critics who were full of great hopes soon discovered that it is difficult to find the kind of fullness in this album. Creativity is a new musical element. When mechanical creation replaces passionate creation, what is left is only mediocre melodies and mediocre techniques that are too far-fetched. Those ingenious instrumental performances are mixed with Lim's boring voice that was originally light and relaxed but now seems tired for some reason. People can't believe that this is the oasis that once brought countless surprises and creativity to the world's music scene. band. As one music critic said: "If they can complete an album as creatively as they did a few years ago, maybe they can really stand on the shoulders of giants." Who can stand on the shoulders of giants? superior? Perhaps after suffering this setback, oasis really began to think about this issue. After releasing the live version of the concert album "Familiar To Millions" in 2000, they finally chose silence and once again created and accumulated. For the music fans around the world who still support and are passionate about oasis, this is obviously a long wait. But this wait finally ushered in a good result. When oasis returned with their latest album "Heathen Chemistry", music fans finally found the feeling they had a few years ago again. The inspiration and creativity that flashed everywhere in the album not only had the shadow of oasis in the "Definitely Maybe" era , and the richer musical elements and more diverse attempts at genres also allow people to see the band's ambitions after the revival. "In the last few years of the last century, we did create a big myth, but this does not make people satisfied. We will keep climbing up, and we will create an even bigger myth in this century." Neuer was still confident when facing the TV camera. He pouted his lips habitually and said this sentence without thinking. Perhaps, those of us who like oasis just need to remember the BRITPOP myth created by oasis in the last decade of the 20th century!
