For the biggest band to come out of England since the Beatles, here's the book that charts their incendiary rise to the top of the worldwide Pop charts. "Oasis" is a trip down Abbey Road in the '90s--a pop-fest for the masses, Johnny Rotten and the fabulous four hunkered down into two rowdy, infectious, sullen bards. 8 b&w photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Insightful for serious fan; fully informative for new-comers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oasis Supersonic Supernova (Paperback)
Let's face it. The story of the meteoric rise of Oasis and the sibbling drama surrounding the brothers Gallagher is both complicated and simple. Complicated, because how do you sift throught the tabloid haze, the drug hysteria, the fights, the break-ups and make-ups and make sense of it all? Simple, because this is what happens when the right band comes along with the perfect songs and the charasmatic force to make people desperately intrigued... yeah, it's a big explosion. This book follows just that logic and takes you along for the perfect ride through the Oasis universe. A little humour and a crisp narrative help as well. The hilarious photo captions are a bonus. Be here now...

The Latest From the Sharpest Wit in Print,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oasis Supersonic Supernova (Paperback)
A real laugh and look at the absurdity of pop star life as only the Brits can do it. Documents the rise and rise of the the Gallagher boys and their infamous antics. Nice "behind the scenes" and tales of the mono-brow brothers' very entertaining bickering. One of my favorite authors. If you don't know his book "Generation Eccch" yet, read it for more sharp-witted criticism of pop icons of the '90s.

One of the greates Oasis books that I have come across!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oasis Supersonic Supernova (Paperback)
If you are a fan of the English rock band, Oasis, this is a MUST! This book gives you very rare information and is rather humorous at the same time. I actually laughed out loud more than once! The downside is, there are not many pictures along with it and it is a bit shorter than I would like. But...the few pictures that ARE in there are very Oasisesque. They bring out the band's real personality. If Liam and Noel have sparked a flame in you heart, or gotten you constantly humming "Wonderwall", you MUST check this book out
