'We are the biggest band in Britain of all time, ever. The funny thing is, all that f*cking mouthing off three years ago about how we were going to be the biggest band in the world - we actually went and did it.' Noel Gallagher
Oasis are one of the biggest bands the word has ever seen. Here, in Supersonic, they tell the story of the their beginnings from dive-bar hopefuls to global superstars. They themselves talk us through the pivotal moments in their phenomenal trajectory, from the day Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band, through their first crucial five years culminating at their landmark gigs at Knebworth Park in 1996 - the pinnacle of their success.
With over thirty hours of interviews with Liam, Noel and those closest to them, this book documents in unprecedented depth and with their trademark candour and humour, the story behind one of the world's greatest bands, all told in their own words and fully illustrated with exclusive photographs and ephemera throughout.

Bonehead on playing at Knebworth on August 10th 1996.
"I remember thinking 'I'll just have a quick hour in bed before we go on', and the Prodigy came on. If you've ever tried to sleep 20ft from the stage when the Prodigy were on live? Forget that."
When Oasis played at Knebworth the band had the following singles in the UK Official Singles Chart.
Whatever, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Some Might Say, Live Forever & Supersonic. Long before the days of streaming etc these were from sales only.
If the audience for either of the gigs lay down, they would stretch from the Gallagher's childhood home in Burnage to Knebworth.
Rick Pope speaking to Sound On Sound about when Oasis played Knebworth
"Liam wanted his vocal blisteringly loud." It meant the microphones were so powerful that "someone would get within 10 feet of a microphone and you could hear their breath".
VIP guests at Oasis' Knebworth concerts were given their own fold-out Oasis-branded binoculars.
They were also given a special stick of rock that measured around 8" long and featured the bands logo and dates of the now legendary gigs on the label.
Liam Gallagher “I’m very proud of it, I am. What do I remember? Not a lot, really. Nothing. I remember forgetting that we were doing a second night – I thought we were only doing just one, so I got really drunk after the first night. But I can’t remember anything else.”
Noel Gallagher "I remember us flying over and just being sort of normal. We were worried about other stuff: ‘Have you got the beers backstage?’, ‘Are they cold?’, ‘And have you got Sky?’, ‘Is it Sky Plus?’ Stuff like that".
