Taken from an interview with Alan Mcgee, read the full article here.
Alan on when Oasis played T In The Park in 1994.
He smiles: "Oasis played one of their best ever shows at the first T In The Park back in 1994.
"To this day the Gallagher brothers don't know I was actually there - they thought I was drying out in rehab.
"But I made it in time to sneak in with my sister Susan. It was the first time I'd seen them clean and sober - they were still great."
On trying to arrange a pay-per-view Oasis gig.
I even tried to set up a pay-per-view Oasis gig in Antarctica. We'd have sold it around the world for �10 a ticket.
"It would have easily made us �50m for just one gig. But Noel didn't fancy the cold."
On Oasis in the US.
Oasis also failed to break America, but Alan disagrees: "They did in a sales way - shifting eight to 10m records in the States. But you're right - there weren't American kids walking about like Liam, like there were over here."
Alan - whose documentary Upside Down: The Creation Records Story is out now on DVD - says: "My daughter hates Oasis and all the whole Britpop era. She now tortures me with Glee.
"But I'm fine with that. I once said to Noel Gallagher, 'I will always be known as the Oasis guy'.
"And he replied, 'Same here - but it could be worse, you could have been the guy who discovered The Darkness'."
