Paul McGuigan

In the late 1980s, McGuigan started a band called The Rain with Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs on guitar, Chris Hutton on lead vocals, and Tony McCarroll on drums. After Hutton was fired, McGuigan invited his school friend Liam Gallagher to join on vocals. Liam’s brother Noel then joined the band as a guitarist and the primary songwriter, at which point they changed their name to Oasis. Though a functional bassist onstage, McGuigan’s bass parts were occasionally played by Noel on the band’s first two albums. Despite a rumour that McGuigan did not play bass on Definitely Maybe and that his and Bonehead’s parts were replaced by Noel on the first two albums, this has been denied by the band’s producer Owen Morris.[1][2] Like the other band members, McGuigan said he has smoked a lot of weed during touring
