Tony McCarroll
Anthony "Tony" McCarroll (Born June 27 1972) (38 today) was one of the founding members of English rock group Oasis, as their drummer from 1991 to April 1995.
Born in Levenshulme, Manchester, England, McCarroll joined pre-Oasis incarnation The Rain in 1990, replacing their drum machine, and linking up with rhythm guitarist Paul Arthurs, bassist Paul McGuigan and singer Chris Hutton. Hutton was later sacked, and replaced by Liam Gallagher. Liam's brother Noel soon joined with a bag full of songs that were to make Oasis famous.
Perhaps McCarroll should have noticed the growing tensions between himself and the rest of the band when they buried him alive in the 1994 video for "Live Forever." This tension soon grew greatly between himself and Noel. McCarroll had been angered by the "£1,000 incident", as the band called it, which occurred after Creation advanced them that sum to purchase new equipment.
Having already spent £600 of his own money on drums, McCarroll found that Noel refused to spend any of the cash on drum skins and instead bought a new guitar. He felt Gallagher was intimidated by him. For his part, Gallagher made his feelings clear with his favoured trick of pretending to forget McCarroll's name during interviews. Noel has since been blatantly derogatory about McCarroll's skills as a drummer.
McCarroll was asked to leave the band in 1995 after rumours of a punch-up with Liam. McCarroll has since denied this. His last job with the band was their first performance of Some Might Say (the last Oasis song he played on) on Top of the Pops.
On the last day of April 1995, McCarroll's departure was announced and soon the fight was abandoned as the main reason - instead, Oasis explained, his drumming just wasn't up to it. "I like Tony as a geezer but he wouldn't have been able to drum the new songs," explained Noel. McCarroll was replaced by Alan White.
After leaving the band, McCarroll travelled over the world for some years.

Paul Weller
One element of pop culture Weller does have an interest is fashion. With their dapper suits and neat shoes, The Jam were a sartorial as well as musical influence to a generation of bands.
Weller's friend and fan Liam Gallagher, formerly of Oasis, recently started a fashion line, Pretty Green, and invited the Modfather to design some clothes for it.
Weller wore one of the Pretty Green suits at his Albert Hall gigs.
While he hasn't begun any designs just yet, Weller says it's something he's always had an interest in. Rather than wearing the ripped clothes of their punk contemporaries, The Jam went for more stylish attire.
"We used to get our suits made up at this little tailor's that is long gone now, just behind Carnaby St, which on reflection were absolutely shocking really, because you'd wear them once on stage and you'd get them dry-cleaned and they'd shrink – to a size where they'd fit a chimp.
"And then we had some Jam shoes made up at a place called Shellys. We used to get stuff made up because you couldn't find it at that time, you had to get it made, really."
While those Jam outfits would probably now be considered collector's items, they have since disappeared into rock history.
"It's gone to the ether along the way. Probably a lot of it was lost or stolen, or was just thrown away because it was so shrunken you couldn't wear it anyway."
Weller is friends with both of Oasis's Gallagher brothers, whose split last year was allegedly exacerbated when older brother Noel poked fun at Liam's clothing label.
"They are very different, what can I say? Well, they're both lovely, they're both my friends, so I have to be careful what I say, really.
"Liam has got his own very definite vision of the world, of how the world works and his place in it. And I can't say what that is because I couldn't even hazard a guess, but he has got it anyway.
"And I guess you could say Noel's a bit more down to earth. No, he's a lot more down to earth.
"I love to hear Liam's theories on life. It's different. It's like listening to an ancient philosopher. I think he's really fascinating."

Russell Brand is planning to live out his Robin Hood fantasies for his upcoming bachelor party. “I’ll do adventurous things and activities.
My friend who is my best man says we’re going to go white-water rafting and shoot arrows,” Brand says on Britain’s Capital Breakfast Show radio program. “We’ll be like merry men. Perhaps we’ll become outlaws, bandits for a while.”
Brand also admits he’s been turning to famous pals — like Oasis’ Noel Gallagher — for advice on keeping future wife Katy Perry happy. “I asked Noel how to get by in a relationship and he said, ‘Just say yes to everything they say,’” Brand says. “It works, I’ve been using that system and it’s working well.”

Noel Gallagher
Russell Brand
It may not be the most flattering homage, but Russell Brand has said his portrayal of the arrogant, wild and obnoxious rocker Aldous Snow in new flick was inspired by his friend Noel Gallagher.
Speaking to ShortList Magazine, Brand said of his Oasis front man pal: "He tells you stories and you think, 'Oh my God, you decadent lunatics.'
"Tales of when there was still money in the music industry and they were all carrying on. So there are no direct references, but Noel is someone I have in mind. Mostly because Noel Gallagher doesn't care.
"Most people say, 'Oh I don't care what people think about me.' He actually doesn't. You're like, 'Don't say that! You'll ruin everything you've worked for,' and he's like, 'Don't f*cking care, say what I want.'
"The way he sees it, as long as he can play guitar, people will always give him 10 quid and he'll be all right."
However, when asked if he’d made use of any other Gallagher characteristics, Brand explained: "No, just the attitude. Because if I nicked some personal anecdote from Noel's life about robbing houses in Greater Manchester I don't see how that would have helped the plot, to be honest."
The comedian also confessed he would love to be a real life rock star: "Yeah, it was like sanctioning a part of yourself you're always embarrassed about.
“Part of you thinks, 'I could be a rock star, couldn't I? Let me prove that by dancing along to Deep Purple.'
"It sanctions that kind of conduct, which normally takes place in bathrooms, like all good masturbation should.
"But it felt good, it was a good exercise for me."

But now a poll of listeners for the launch of new station Absolute Radio 90s has found that Oasis's Roll With It is actually the most popular track after all these years.

Oasis
A piece of Manchester music history is up for grabs on Thursday – when the first ever recording of Oasis goes under the hammer.
Auctioneers Christie's are offering the cassette, which was captured at legendary Little Peter Street venue The Boardwalk in 1992.
It features five songs from the band's second-ever gig - the first with Noel Gallagher at the helm.
Christie's say the tape is the first 'live' recording of Oasis in existence and have set an estimate of £4,000 to £6,000.
Former music promoter Dean Hanley is selling the recording.
He was given the cassette by a desperate Noel at offices on Mount Street, in a bid to promote the fledgling band.
Dean made some demos from the tape and sent them to record labels to no avail. However, he did manage to secure Oasis a support slot for Peter Hook's off-shoot band Revenge.
Other than an early version of Columbia, which appeared on the classic first album Definitely Maybe, none of the tracks that feature on the recording were released.
There is also one song recorded in the studio.
The cassette, labelled in blue ballpoint pen and fluorescent green marker by Noel is offered without any reproduction rights.
It captures the four-piece around two years before they shot to fame.
Christie's say the band sound heavily influenced by fellow Manchester legends The Smiths and The Stone Roses.
They add that the Beatlesque chord changes that later became an Oasis trademark and Liam's 'yet to completely mature voice' it is 'still recognisably Oasis'.
The band were spotted by Scottish record label boss Alan McGee around a year after the recording in 1993.
He signed them up and their first single Supersonic, released a year later, set them on the way to success.
Millions of record sales followed, along with seven albums.
Last June they played sell out shows to huge acclaim at Heaton Park.
But in August the band announced they had split, with the final straw said to be a row between Liam and Noel backstage before a gig in Paris.
