The Truth, the Noel Truth, is Nothing Like the Truth - The Inside Story of My Life as Oasis Drummer. In 1991, five wannabe Mancunian musicians came together to form Oasis. The band went from obscurity to becoming a global phenomenon in the space of a year, achieving worldwide recognition and selling over 70 million records. Pre Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll joined The Rain, linking up with guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, bassist Paul McGuigan and singer Chris Hutton. Hutton was replaced by Liam Gallagher who in turn brought his brother Noel along. In this candid and hilarious book, Tony tells one of the most in-depth rock'n'roll stories of modern times.
