Back in August 1994, in the wake of the chaotic, violent scenes that marred the tour to celebrate the looming release of Oasis’ debut album, Noel Gallagher made a typically self-assured prediction.Ater a riotous misadventure of broken bones and ugly recriminations that saw the band branded “English Scum” by a Swedish newspaper, Oasis’ man with the masterplan had the presence of mind to distance himself from the ‘English hooligan on holiday’ scenes and claim: “In 20 years’ time, Deinitely Maybe will still be in the shops. In 20 years’ time people will buy the album and listen to it for what it is. They won’t listen to it because we were rock ’n’ roll or something like that. hat’s what matters.”
