The finest book on Britain''s most popular rock ''n'' roll bandFeaturing 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 Britain-s 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.
