When Tony McCarroll decided to start a band with a group of childhood friends, he could never have imagined just how big it would become.

For young lads from working class Manchester, the name they chose for themselves was apt - The Rain. But the moniker wouldn't last long.

Unimpressed with their original singer, one of the band members suggested auditioning his pal instead. Liam Gallagher showed up and passed with flying colours.

After joining, he suggested they change the name to Oasis, and later recruited his brother Noel to the ranks - but there was a condition.
