Career
McCarroll had played for the local football team at a young age. They formed The Rain and recruited Chris Hutton as their drummer, but they were fired and replaced by Liam Gallagher, whom McCarroll had also known since childhood. Liam decided to change the name to Oasis after seeing a poster for Inspiral Carpets that was hanging in his room.
Noel, Liam's brother, joined shortly after. Despite Noel being given sole credit as a songwriter, McCarroll has stated in his book that he was closely involved in the development of several of Oasis's songs, including "Supersonic."
Both Noel and McCarroll lived together in childhood, but when Oasis became more popular, their friendship fell apart. Noel had consistently slammed McCarroll's drumming skills, claiming that it was not good enough for a number one single.
McCarroll's resignation was confirmed on the last day of April 1995, and Alan White, who remained until 2004, was named in his place.
"Tony was quiet and never polite to me," Oasis producer Owen Morris said of McCarroll, "but he seemed to be out of his depth." I suspect Tony did fine in Oasis, as long as he did. McCarroll's drumming style was described as "extremely basic," but with timing and tempo that were "most autistically correct," Morris said.
McCarroll employed Jens Hills, who had won Pete Best £2 million from The Beatles in 1995, to sue Oasis for £18 million. Arguing McCarroll was oweing his share of Creation's five-album contract, the attempt in the hopes of setting a legal precedent, as McCarroll would have received compensation for two LPs on which he had not participated. He eventually signed an out-of-court settlement of £550,000 in March 1999 and agreed to renounce future royalties, effectively ending all links to the band, with McCarroll's legal fees estimated at £250,000.
McCaroll last appeared with the band Raika in 2000, in an article relating to Oasis' seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul, an annual publication.
In October 2010, McCarroll's biography about his time in Oasis, Oasis: The Truth, was published.
In 2016, McCarroll was also interviewed for the documentary Oasis: Supersonic, in which the audio was also included in the film.
