In 1994, Rolling Stone spoke with Noel Gallagher right after the success of Oasis' debut LP
“The reason we don’t get on is that we know each other too well,” Noel says. “We’ve known each other so long that when one of us starts acting like a pop star, he’ll get a cut-down from the other one. And usually it’s Liam getting one from me.”are filled with stories of the Gallagher brothers’ tumultuous relationship as well as their indulgence in the rock & roll lifestyle. Tales of trashed hotel rooms, drunken brawls in pubs and nights of debauchery fill pages of each issue.
Oasis may not be the saviors of rock & roll, but they’re definitely a breath of fresh air. Lacking the self-absorption that characterized former “next big things” like Suede and the Manic Street Preachers, Oasis combine the Undertones’ punk-pop sensibilities with the glam of T. Rex. The result is the band’s debut album,, 11 three and a half minute bursts of trashy guitar tiffs, slinky vocals and a whole lotta carefree attitude.
“Bands like Suede totally, utterly and absolutely took themselves too seriously, which is why they didn’t go over in America,” Noel says. “We’re singing about being young and wanting to escape from where you’re from. We’re not singing about how crap life is — we’re singing about how great it could be.”and three friends — guitarist Paul Arthurs, bassist Paul McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll — started a band to relieve boredom.
Oasis chose the former, spent several months rehearsing and honing their sound and were subsequently signed to Creation Records after only one gig outside of Manchester. British hopefuls have had a difficult time breaking into America, but Oasis may have the goods and the right attitude to do it — provided the Gallagher brothers can peacefully coexist. ‘We’ve got the songs,” says Noel Gallagher. “We’re not going to go to America and want everyone to love us. By the same token, if everyone hates us, we won’t say, ‘Piss off,’ and not come back again.
