Oasis Pictures - After playing a handful of small club gigs, the band cornered Alan McGee, the head of Creation Records, and forced him to listen to their demo. Impressed, he signed the band. The group released their first single, 'Supersonic,' in the spring of 1994; it edged its way into the charts on the back of positive reviews. With a melody adapted from 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing,' 'Shakermaker' became a bigger hit in the early summer. Released a month before their debut album, the soaring ballad 'Live Forever' became a major hit in England. The group's first record, Definitely Maybe, became the fastest-selling debut in British history, entering the charts at number one. Oasis mania continued throughout 1994, as the group began playing larger theaters and each new single outperformed the last. However, tensions in the group began to build -- Liam and Noel refused to do joint interviews because they always fought -- and Noel Gallagher briefly left the band at the end of a difficult fall American tour; he soon re-joined and the band headed back to England. As 'Supersonic' began to climb the U.S. album rock and modern rock charts, the non-LP, string-laden 'Whatever' hit number two over the British Christmas season. At the beginning of 1995, the group concentrated on America, promoting the single 'Live Forever.' The song became a major hit on MTV, album rock, and modern rock radio stations, peaking at number two, and Definitely Maybe went gold in the U.S. Returning to England after a sold-out American tour, the group recorded a new single, 'Some Might Say.' On the eve of its release, drummer Tony McCaroll parted ways with the band, with Alan White taking his place. 'Some Might Say' entered the charts at number one upon its May release; its success led to all of their previous singles re-entering the indie charts. Oasis spent the rest of the summer completing their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, which was released in October of 1995. Upon its release, the album shot to number one in England, becoming the fastest-selling in the U.K. since Michael Jackson's Bad.
