Born in Manchester, England, McCaroll formed the band "The Rain" (named after the Beatles song) with friends Bonehead, Guigsy and Chris Hutton.

Perhaps McCarroll should have noticed the growing tensions between himself and the rest of the band when they buried him alive in the 1994 video for "Live Forever." This tension soon grew greatly between himself and Noel. McCarroll had been angered by the "£1,000 incident", as the band called it, which occurred after Creation advanced them that sum to purchase new equipment. Having already spent £600 of his own money on drums, McCarroll found that Noel refused to spend any of the cash on drum skins and instead bought a new guitar. He felt Gallagher was intimidated by him. For his part, Gallagher made his feelings clear with his favoured trick of pretending to forget McCarroll's name during interviews. Noel has since been blatantly derogatory about McCaroll's skills as a drummer. 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International year of the Family. ...

McCaroll was asked to leave the band in 1995 after rumours of a punch-up with Liam. McCaroll has since denied this.

On the last day of April 1995, McCaroll's departure was announced and soon the fight was abandoned as the main reason - instead, Oasis explained, his drumming just wasn't up to it. "I like Tony as a geezer but he wouldn't have been able to drum the new songs," explained Noel. McCaroll was replaced by Alan White behind the drumkit Alan White (born 26 May 1972, Eltham, South London) was the drummer of British rock group Oasis from 1995 to 2004. ...

In 1999 McCaroll hired a lawyer Jens Hills - who had won Pete Best £2m from the Beatles in 1995 - to sue Oasis for £18m. Arguing McCaroll was owed his part of the band's five-album deal with Creation, the case hoped to set a legal precedent, as McCaroll would have claimed compensation for LPs on which he had not played. Eventually, he accepted an out-of-court settlement of £600,000 in March 1999, which effectively severed all links to the band, with McCaroll's legal fees reported at £250,000. The settlement provoked considerable reaction (one headline questioned "Is this the most stupid man in showbiz?". The reporter claimed "what Tony failed to realise was that he effectively held a lottery ticket which would mean he'd carry on winning every year.") 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ... Randolph Peter Best (born November 24, 1941 in Madras, India) was the original drummer for The Beatles. ...

When Guigsy left Oasis later that year, McCaroll was one of many who offered to take over the role as bass player, but Noel refused to consider him.
