Few bands have come from as little and made as much of themselves as Oasis. Along the way they were wildly entertaining––unlike anything England or the United States had ever seen––and fully committed to the life of the rock star and to making the greatest rock ‘n’ roll music the world had ever heard. Through it all they famously fought, with fans, with police and with each other. They drank excessively and did copious amounts of drugs and didn’t care who knew about it. They were England’s new rock ‘n’ roll saviors and they were stacked with Beatlesesque hooks and Sex Pistols- inspired attitude and seemingly, always, on the verge of breaking up.
