They were replaced by former Heavy Stereo guitarist Gem Archer and former Ride guitarist Andy Bell. Oasis' popularity later declined and McGuigan and Arthurs left in 1999 as Oasis released Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000). It became the fastest-selling album in UK chart history. In 1997, Oasis released their third album, Be Here Now. In 1996, Oasis performed two nights at Knebworth for an audience of 125,000 each time, the largest outdoor concerts in UK history at the time. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspapers for their disputes and wild lifestyles. In addition, it stands as the fifth-best-selling album in the UK and the biggest-selling album in the UK of the 1990s. Spending ten weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? was also an international chart success and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. The following year they recorded (What's the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) with new drummer Alan White, in the midst of a highly publicized chart rivalry with peers Blur. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993 and released their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe (1994), which quickly became the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time. During the course of their existence, they had various lineup changes, with the Gallagher brothers remaining the only stable members.
Liam's older brother Noel (lead guitar, vocals) later joined as a fifth member, finalising the group's core lineup.
Originally known as the Rain, the group initially consisted of Liam Gallagher (lead vocals, tambourine), Paul Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass guitar) and Tony McCarroll (drums). Oasis were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991.
