Robbo delivers with first-hand account of life with Oasis.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Ian Robertson's "What's the Story?" is a fascinating account of life with Oasis. Robertson focuses on his personal dealings with Oasis, instead of relying on the typical assumptions made about Oasis like most who have written about Oasis. Robertson, their former tour manager, delivers his story with a simple, honest, style that keeps you riveted as you see the Gallagher brothers swallowed by fame. Instead of slamming the band that eventually let him go, Robertson focuses on the respect he had for the talented and loyal Noel Gallagher, while allowing the reader insight into the bizzare emotional behavior of Liam. Robbo never directly attacks the younger Gallagher, he even notes that Liam has a caring side to him that is usually not present in most rock stars. However, Robbo still relives accounts of times that Liam's behavior drove Oasis to the edge. An excellent book, Robertson puts his heart and soul into telling the reader what life with Oasis was like for him without becoming overemotional and writing a biased, selfish book. (Which is what many in his position would have done.) Definitely five stars.
Creatively written by Robertson as it really happened.

Robertson gave this book to people as he saw the scenes of Oasis. With his candid first hand experiece of dealing with the Gallahgers, Robbo wrote about the highs and lows of the life he lived. He made us realize that fame might not be what most people think about it.
Totally Top for the manchester boys!

A great book no matter if your a huge fan that thinks you know EVERYTHING about the band or a newbie, its not a big info book its more a "this is what happened in this number of days" kinda book.
Top!

This book is very exciting...it is different than any other one I've read on Oasis. Told from the view point of Robbo, who was on tour with them, it has tons of back stage stories that you'll never find anywhere else. From Liam and Bonehead's talk about baths, to Robbo's endless fights with Liam....it's top all the way!
