Amazon.com Review The best band since the Beatles? Naah. Okay, the best Beatlesque band since the Beatles, not counting Badfinger? I say maybe. In any case, Paolo Hewitt's breathless, ungrammatical bio is a treat, mainly for its day-by-day documentation of exactly how the Brothers Gallagher just can't seem to get along. These belligerent Mancunians bicker, denounce each other to the press, and resort to fisticuffs at the drop of a hat. Noel is always giving Liam right proper stick, or vice-versa. And while the other band members end up with second-banana roles, they don't lag far behind in the hedonism derby, as witness this pharmaceutically-enhanced performance in Manchester: "By the time they got on-stage, they were seriously gone. Bonehead played with three cigarettes in his mouth, Noel was E'd up, Guigsy fell off the stage and McCarroll forgot to tighten the nuts on his cymbals so when he first hit them, his drum kit half- collapsed." The rest is history.
From Library Journal Too many rock group biographies are written because the artist is popular at the moment, not because there is anything interesting to say about the group. Getting High is an unfortunate case in point. Oasis is a talented young band whose records have performed very impressively in the United States and Britain, but the group has only been together for a few years. Thus, the book provides nothing more than a dreary chronicle of the band's life on the road, a life that seems to consist entirely of drinking, complaining, and fraternal squabbles. Hewitt (The Jam, Trafalgar Square, 1997) writes in a breezy style that frequently lapses into cliches and even bathos?the Nineties are "about freedom. The freedom to take drugs, hold raves, protect the environment." Moreover, the band's music is actually given rather short shrift.

From Kirkus Reviews A little over 30 years ago, England gave the world the Kinks-- a band founded by two brothers who couldn't stand each other. Now England has given us Oasis, led by Noel and Liam Gallagher, who are equally belligerent if not slightly more complex. Hewitt tracks the band's history from the Gallaghers' childhood in Manchester with a sadistic father (he begrudged them even Christmas gifts, according to his wife), countless soccer matches, and petty crime, to overnight success, the downside of fame, and mounds of cocaine and oceans of alcohol. While Hewitt's treatment of Oasis is innovatively nonlinear, bouncing back and forth between 1960s Manchester and 1990s London and concerts (Hewitt accompanied the band on tour), and he writes in the colorful vernacular of the Gallaghers' hometown, his preference for Noel is obvious. The reader gets the impression that the guitarist/songwriter is a reborn Coleridge--equal parts Romantic poet and drug devotee--while his brother, singer Liam, is unwashed and downright simian. But as Hewitt demonstrates, the two found each other indispensable--they alternately stormed out of the band only to return. Hewitt has a very strong sense of Oasis's roots- -probably from having written Beat Concerto: The Story of the Jam (not reviewed), on one of Noel's primary influences. And Getting High is at its best when recounting such serendipitous events as Noel meeting the only displaced Irishman from northern England more famous than himself--Paul McCartney. However, his lax treatment of Oasis's drug use smacks of tacit approval; Hewitt could have been equally descriptive without glamorizing the Gallaghers' lapses. Still, Hewitt finally proves his thesis that ``if Oasis was just Liam, they would never have been signed, they would have threatened to self destruct. If Oasis was just Noel, they would have never reached the heights they have.'' (16 pages photos, not seen) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
