The way Guigsy is supposed to have treated TM makes him sound like a bit of a prick anyway.
As a 15yr old Oasis came along at the right time, changed my life from the clothes I wore to walking round thinking I owned the place. Great interview from a great guy about the best band of my generation. All of you are legends in my eyes. Thankyou Tony Rock n Roll Star.
There would be no Oasis without Tony McCarroll. All the best mate 🥁 🎶

Well done Brian, first time I’ve ever seen tony give an interview, he conducted himself well and with dignity, it’s a shame what happened to him but at least he looks back with pride at been in one the best British bands of their generation.

Noel said in an interview recently (and no doubt on other occasions) how Definitely Maybe was the best, most complete Oasis Album. Tony by extension is no small part of why. I love Alan Whites drumming, but his later ghost snare & kick embellishments etc when covering the groups earlier tunes always grated with me. Those that know know, and Tony will forever be tied to the best era of that band. Wish him all the best, he inspired more drummers than he'll ever know.

i'd agree with that. there is nothing Whitey did post Tony that was particularly hard to play...maybe a bit more intricate, but not unattainable. And actually, Whiteys style was perhaps a little samey after a while. eg lots of that beat loosely based on the baggy sound. Ringo was never the best technical drummer...but its what he came up with that counts, the originality. i get that Tony's stuff was relatively basic, but this is what fitted the songs the best. Nobody wants extravagant fills and rolls in songs anyway (except maybe other drummers 🙂 )

So glad to see I’m not the only one who felt that way about Whitey. I loved him in the Morning Glory era but grew to despise his drumming by the end. Very samey to the point that you knew what the fills would be before you heard them. I’m probably one of the very few people out there that were actually relieved when he got sacked.

Tony’s drumming was awesome in DM, even if feels sloppier than White’s, which I find rather boring tbh. Minimalistic but with a punkish edge sadly lost afterwards. And lots of iconic drum riffs on that debut. It wouldn’t be the same without Tony’s drum sound, that’s for sure. A great lad too
Dude I decided to drunkenly message Tony one night on Facebook I sent a whole paragraph to him about how much I appreciate his destroyer drums and he sent me a while paragraph right back such a genuine guy it was so cool to a tally talk to a member of oasis
The drummer on one the best albums of all time. Cheers Tony. 👍💯
From what I can gather, Tony McCarroll is a smashing bloke. What I know is that he was a smashing drummer, totemic to the rhythm section on an album and two singles that framed a wonderful time. It was so pure and exciting. It sounded amazing. What I also know is that he was subject to manipulation and bastardry at the whim of another human, and he was harmed, and his trajectory in life was taken from his control. It’s a credit to his strength and integrity that he is as affable and kind as he is. Fair play Tony. Thank you for enriching us - we remember it yeah. Cheers.

Lots of love for Tony. A legend.
As a founding member of Oasis, Tony will always be a legend 🙌
I’ve always loved Tony’s drumming, such a huge chunk of the sound on that first record and across the b sides. Look at the drum intros from the DM era - Supersonic, Live Forever, Cloudburst, Listen Up, all iconic parts of these amazing songs. Tony seems like a great guy too, ace video Brian - looking forward to the next one.
Just hearing about 5 guys against the world, before all the fame and bullshit, is a beautiful thing. If you've been in a band, whether you made it or not, you know that feeling. There's nothing else like it
Huge Oasis fan here - changed my life. It wasn’t right what happened to you Tony. I hope you got a right few quid out of it at least. Thanks for the great times Tony and all the very best to you mate.
Hands down this is the best Oasis interview/informal chat/documentary or whatever you’d like to call it - ever. Well done to all involved, simply brilliant.

Tony was the drummer that inspired me to join a band and learn to play the drums after repeatedly listening to Definitely Maybe. I remember speaking to Nigel Clark (Dodgy) in 2017 after we’d opened for them at a gig; he was incredibly friendly and asked me who some of my favourite drummers were and I mentioned Tony as probably the main influence for me. He brought up the gig mentioned where oasis supported Dodgy and said he always thought Tony was a good drummer and respected that Tony was the drummer I picked as one of my favourite. Terrific video!
Absolutely superb and honest interview, founding member of Oasis and that can't be taken away from you Tony by anyone .... Legend.
That’s the first interview I’ve ever heard from Tony, what a genuinely nice man he is. Great interview btw. 👍
Thanks Tony. You all made something very special to many people. Good that you don't look back in anger....
You’re an amazing part of the Oasis story Tony. Those beginning years are what made Oasis for me. You and Brian being able to flesh out your perspectives is just awesome.
Great interview! Tony comes off as an articulate and likeable guy, best to him.
Lovely interview! Really enjoyed reading Tony's book, too! Always a real treat to learn more about the formation of Oasis and the early days. The thumbnail with Liam and Tony is so cute!
As a drummer myself, and also an Oasis fan, I’ve genuinely never understood all the hate around Tony. Never. So good to hear an interview with him. Thank you Brian and Tony.

The way I heard it, Noel & Tony grated on one another occasionally & Noel was the Guvnor, so that was that. I wonder if Tony found Noel & Owen aggressive in the studio & doing tracks again & again, alone, without the band to bounce off just didn’t suit his personality? It wouldn’t be that surprising. Such a different vibe, a studio, I guess?

Tony stood up to Noel and Noel didn't like it. Plus look online to see what Owen Morris said about Tony's drumming. He said it wasn't the best, but his timing was perfect.
Great interview! Thanks for this, I've been a fan since the start but learned new stuff today.
That was terrific. Lovely hearing the story from Tony’s perspective. Fascinating. Thanks so much for making this video.
Really great interview, such a humble guy Tony is. Love your videos Brian and like many went straight to the Scottish gig they did for Sony before it went bananas. Incredible gig and footage...
Amazing interview. Great to see Tony enjoying this too. Love the Live Forever version at Gleneagles, best for me
Really good interview - thanks for doing this Microdot - i love your Mancinterview technique
Great little interview this Brian, Nice one mate!
Many, many thanks Brian and Tony!
Fantastic interview, Brian you are a natural, it was extremely insightful. Tony - thank you for your honesty, and even though most oasis fans believe you were treated poorly and unfairly you came across in this interview so humbled and certainly are not looking back in anger!
Great interview. Tony comes across as not bitter and with lots of dignity. Top man.
Great interview, Tony is absolutely class! Right proper job, thank you very much for this video!
There is no doubt that the drumming is raw and aggressive on DM. There after the drumming (and Bass), never caught that feeling again. Awesome time!
Great watch and hat's off always a pleasure
Met Tony in a Bar in Glasgow couple of years ago. He is an absolute gentleman and very humble. Total Geezer..
Brilliant interview Brian mate!! Great company is microdot you must be very proud pal that you were apart of oasis greatest years and your fantastic album sleeves are so iconic 👌👍👍
Thank you for this! Still love Tony! ❤
He drummed on one of the biggest definitive debut albums of all time. As a drummer, he made those songs sound great . Humble man, who’s left a legacy he should be proud of. He’s OASIS full stop
Brilliant Brian!!! Really really great!! ❤ Tony, you’re a geezer! Mad respect to ya!! ✌🏽
Brilliant interview always loved Tony's drumming wish he could have ridden it a bit longer. Glad to see he's well!
Fantastic interview, really enjoyed it, great insight from Tony's perspective.
Wasn’t really to sure what to expect from this interview but wow did it show not only Oasis but Tony himself in a different light. You see the success that they’ve gone post Tony but you do forget the impacts that has on one’s life. Class watch, will be sharing
Excellent interview Brian really insightful and interesting, brilliant interviewing skills as well. A new career beckons
Enjoyed that, thank you 😊👍
Massive respect for both of you! Legends!
Amazing interview..Tony an absolute gentleman and was hard done by I honestly think..He would have definitely done them other albums..Great Interview Brian mate love your Channel 👍👍👍
Damn. This is legendary. Thanks Brian!

Thanks Tony, really enjoyed your stories about a band that was a magical part of my teenage years.

Reading his book at the min, seems so genuine and down to earth. Such an amazing drummer and definitely gave oasis its edge musically. Love his grit and determination to get through those times and he is a better man than me is the least I can say. Love and light to him ❤
No one hit the oasis drums harder than Tony. His tone and intensity on songs like supersonic and bring it on down was never replicated by Alan White.

Chris Sharrock stayed largely faithful to the album versions though, the only Oasis drummer post-Tony to do so. While that swingy-quarter note pulse thing became the Oasis "feel" from Morning Glory on, I'm surprised Chris was the only one to inject the straight 8ths feel back into the DM songs, live. Then again, if what Liam said is true for all the replacements, they wanted them to do what they do and don't feel you need to copy your predecessor(s).

Thank you so much Tony, your drumms are still being listened to around the world (greetings from Chile)
Been waiting all week for this cmon
I remember meeting Tony a few years back when he did a talk at Venue in Manchester, he was an utter gent and It was great to finally meet one of my favourite drummers. I remember first starting to learn the drums, sat at the kit, listening to Columbia, and frustratingly trying to play that groove - two sticks on the hi-hat, alternating between the snare and opening the hi-hats.
There will always be love and respect for Tony! ♡♡
Quality interview. Respect. He was an integral part of the band: the band beginning. There are two key moments in any band's life: how they began and how they ended. That first album would've been crap without him. The sales numbers proved that. Thank you both for the telling of history. ✌️❤
I had just finished his book and it was class. Always had a soft spot for Tony.
Superb interview, a fan just like the rest of us. 🤟
Great interview. "Live Forever" comes to mind. God bless Tony.
Great interview and thanks for the Gleneagles tip. Good on you Tony.
Thank you Tony. You're an indispensable part of the best album by the best band in the world. Respect.
