Description:
The finest book on Britain’s most popular rock ‘n’ roll band
Featuring an exclusive interview with Noel Gallagher ahead of the Oasis Live ’25 Tour
It felt like the London music business had set the stage for Blur to be the centre of Britpop, and then we turned up and they never forgave us.
Think Oasis was just Britpop and brawls? Think again.
In this, the definitive book on Britains biggest band, John Robb peels back the layers of Manchester’s best known musical export, revealing a tale of ambition, ego, talent, and a whole lot of attitude. From the gritty pubs of Manchester to the dizzying heights of global stardom, this unauthorized biography is a rollercoaster ride through the Gallagher brothers’ turbulent lives and the music that defined a generation. But it is also a portrait of Britain around the turn of the millennium and the cultural forces and places that shaped, and were shaped by, two cocksure autodidacts from Burnage from art to fashion, and from football to politics.
Playful, funny and irreverent, and drawing on dozens of interviews and first-hand stories, Live Forever puts Oasis squarely in the Pantheon of Rock n Roll royalty as the last great band of the pre-internet age. So, grab your parka and shades, perfect your swagger, and prepare to be amazed, amused, and maybe even just a little bit shocked.
