@DannyMadFerIt the verve is great but its a total rip off of U2 from his voice to the shades, to the style of music the way the songs are presented and filmed, i mean its okay with my I love U2 but dont say they are a real band! they are a product of a marketing plan, what worked once will work again lol
such a shame the music we all love is tied up in all the coperate shit that we are paying for today & for the next 20 or 30 year's! long live music may it keep reigning supreme!
Nobody makes music like the British and I'm a Mexican from LA. I love everything they do. From the Kinks to New Order. I had this CD on my 6 -CD (before i-pod) for two years. I can listen to this album everyday.
I'm not British; but boy, this is speaking to my soul directly. I’m a little weird about the way I listen to music. I can’t get enough of a song that has grabbed my heart and will play it over and over and over for days. This is one of those songs. Well, and Rather Be.
Yeah and there is The Smiths as well very true isn't enough space. Poor France - no wonder they grumble about half their chart being full of music from the English speaking world. Apparently even in Medieval time - people from other parts of the world admire English music - and that time has come around again. Thank you The Verve!!!
@WistfulDog British rock n roll would never have existed without the US. Simply, its in the US that blues and jazz have been invented by the blending of cultures and slavery. It's an american thing to begin with!
Ashcroft to N Gallagher 2 weeks before Glasto "Hey Noel, any advice on headlining Glastonbury?" Noels reply was " Er no cos we are shit, and are crap, we cant headline Glasto because we are no better then status quo" Ashcroft "Some mate you are you miserable cunt!" Noel "We got lucky, our kid is a twat, the rest of the band look like a bunch of labourers, but at least I now know 4 chords!! How good am I?" Ashcroft "Not very you stupid daft manc"
Well Keith Richards and his Rolling Stone mates should donate to The Verve Bitter Sweet Symphony Relief Fund, regardless of what his asshole agent did to the Verve. If you listen to a reporter ask Keith about it, he blows it off by saying that is lawyering crap, but Keith you picked your agent, take responsibility, and show some class. This is one of the great legal tragedies of musical recording history. Richard Ashcroft wrote 98% to 99% of the musical composition. Long live the King Richard!
@midkollen It wasn't The Stone's "agent" nor was it their management company that sued The Verve, it was their former publishing company, ABKO. Sadly, back in the day, many of the publishing deals were structured in a manner in a way where groups lost the rights to their music in exchange for much needed cash up front. This is what happened to the Stones. They have no control over that part of their catalogue nor any say in what happens with the licensing of that portion of their catalogue.
@midkollen as much as i respect and like the stones, they deserve their status, i actually love their song "the last time". But to me it's a simple matter of ego, of Keith hearing the bittersweet symphony and simply going, "damn look what i could have done !" but he didn't do as you say 98 or 99% this guy made it, there's hundreds of songs that has a few chords that are the same, but with a little twist and nobody does that shit. listem to "beat it" by MJ and revelations audioslave, guitar riff
@midkollen What's really sad about that situation is that they had permission from the "Stones" to sample that orchestral piece, but they came back and said "they used too much of it." That case would have been thrown out of court in America!
Didn't Keith Richards say at one point (dont remember where I heard) that Richard Ashcroft's song writing is today what John Lennon was then. This is an incredible song and I wish I heard them live!
ledzedelin I would also add one of my favorites - Yes, and also Genesis, Rolling Stones, Ten Years After, Uriah Heep, Supertramp and the list goes on.
Yes we have some of the best don't we, SOME, not all folks, how about: The Doors, Beach Boys, Neil Young, Hendrix, Kiss, Springsteen, Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Velvet Underground, Eminem, Madonna, The Black Crows, Pearl Jam, REM, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Prince, Er.............and then there's Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Louis Armstrong, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Miles Davis, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, Mama's & Papa's, plus so many more there isn't space....
British music is so much better than american music. Dont get me wrong love Foo Fighters, Nirvana etc. But the way we go about it is so much better. We feel the music more. So in my opinion the Yanks can smoke my balls.
im playing this when i die as iv been lucky to meet my wife to as thats what the song is about to his wife if you see him live thats what he says shame im not a song writier are id make my own song up before i go ;0)
you can criticize, analyse, break down and coldly state a negative opinion about any piece of music, but that doesn't and never will especially in the case of this song, change how great or special it can be.
Hate to be the one who says it (In fact no I dont) We British have the best music in the world, not saying any other Countries are bad just we got - Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The who, David Bowie, The Clash, Sex pistols, Oasis, The verve, Cold play, Gerry Rafferty, Black Sabbeth, Blur, Radiohead, The cure, The libertines, Pink Floyd also America are fking awesum - Jimmi Hendrix, The doors, Nirvana, Foo fighters... so much more but running out of space :D Britain and America = best music.
@lepzed - As a Yank I agree. Brit music 64-75 is KING. Took blues-R&B & sent it back brilliantly re-imagined. The 60's WERE the UK. + Icons: Beat, Who, LZ, Bow, Clap, RoSt, PFlo - Oasis, CPlay, RaHe. No contest.
But the UK can love 100% crap too. So odd. Go crazy for a one-hit wonder, which disappears, so next week you go wild for a new no-talent band, then it fails, ad infinitum. Happens everywhere, but the UK is so small & homogenous that it's more susceptible. Gary Glitter, Bananarama, etc.
@lepzedelin As a Frenchman living in Britain I couldn't agree more mate :) Anglo-Saxon music is awesome, not only pop rock, but also jazz and blues and all that stuff. You can eventually blame Britain for its food but when it comes to music, Britain has definitely got talent :)
"British wine is like French rock n'roll" - John Lennon

"British wine is like French rock n'roll" - John Lennon
@lepzedelin I agree with you. If I could chose between being british and portuguese, I would definitly chose to be british, except when we defeted you in euro 2004 x)
I'm spanish, I love british music! But i think that apart of that the bands are really good, the lenguage I think the most important element that makes these bands be succesfull. thx!
@lepzedelin No doubt about it. you Brits can't do much else right but you do produce the best music. Britain made 80's music available for us. Without you, we get stuck with damn lady gaga and Justin Bieber. PLEASE, get some new bands so we can get rid of rap music and this other losers they push on us.
@lepzedelin As a proud American, I have no problem agreeing with you...the best bands in the world have always been British. You forgot The Stone Roses. Something about you lot that have the music thing figured out. I suspect it has something to do with the cool brit swagger.
@lepzedelin that is so true but then we have the worst coming from america too. miley cyrus, selena gomez, jonas brothers, demi lovato, lady gaga, keisha, fucking justin bieber. should I go on?
@lepzedelin i'm from mexico and i got to say you are totally right, i mean i do love pearl jam, nirvana, the ramones, silverchair, foo fighters, and so on, but for some reason british have the best song writers. My theory is that it's got something to do with the weather. it's a reflective weather.r. But it's just a theory.
@pdlp13 Fuck America? If it wasn't for us Americans, some of your fav Brit bands wouldn't exist. BTW, Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Ray Charles say hello. So do Aerosmith, the Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Television, The Ramones, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Waylon Jennings, Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Heart, R.E.M., Husker Du, Prince and all of Motown and classic rap.
@Joelaroc7 Oh, and there's Beck, Black Crowes, the Smashing Pumpkins, the Doors, Pavement, Frank Sinatra, Talking Heads, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, the Steve Miller Band, KISS, Boston, Frank Zappa, Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, Blondie, Devo, the Replacements, Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, L7, Helmet and the greatest of all songwriters, Bob Dylan. I can mention more American artists in a heartbeat but I think you get the point.
@Joelaroc7 *in a sarcastic tone* yeh well we gave the world East 17. Yeh, so you can take all of those amazing artists you just mentioned and stick'em up your arse.
@lepzedelin I'll agree. I love Brit bands all those mentioned. However they wouldn't exist without Elvis, Motown, many Blues singers, the Velvets, and don't forget UK's punk rock was influenced by Television, Iggy, and the Ramones. but dammit, you Brits do have a knack for embracing and making that stuff your own.

@HeavySabre70 Is not Nationalism im Colombian I said that coz i Think British music is better that music makes you Fly man i not saying that the Other Music is Bad but its my opinion you know ... I respect your opinion
@IronKdv It doesn't matter if u r Colombian.I like alot of bands from the UK too,(Verve, Massive Attack, My Bloody Valentine etc) but I also like certain American groups (Jon Spencer,Beck, Moby etc), Australian groups (Nick Cave & the Bad seeds, AC/DC, The Church etc), French groups (Stereolab,Daft Punk,Air etc).I get a great high from Verve, MBV etc but I can get a great high from Nick Cave records.My point is that one countrie's music is not better than another's.Its about individualism.
@IronKdv Why don't you just say that you love bands from the UK? Or that you love The Verve and that they take you to a special place with you tune in? With creative pursuits like music or painting or sculpture or whatever, you can't really say to say one is better than the other.Who is better? Monet or Francis Bacon? Bacon was English and Monet French.They are both amazing artists but they have such different styles. U can't say one is better than the other. Same with music.
@HeavySabre70 Mannnnnnnnn!!! Is just my Opinion Im a Fan of British Music man And i will always Say .. British music is Better than Usa... And is my Favorite
Urban Hymns is a masterpiece, but Storm in Heaven and Forth are also fantastic Verve albums. Richard Ashcroft is an absolutely brilliant singer, one of the best in the entire UK and the musicians in The Verve are also great...the sound that comes out in their live shows is huge....I hope they regroup and put out another record and tour.
Am I the only one that see a lit bit of liam gallagher style in their glasses and voice? he could be easily the new oasis vocal. great band. same oasis generation. Cheerssssss
@fedorEight, have they started giving sectioned mentally insane people access to YouTube? Fucking hell! At least there's no sharp edges to harm yerself on! How do you manage to use the laptop in a straight jacket?? Well at least you're not chasin kiddies round the swings no more!! Can just imagine you in ya padded cell rocking back a forth and singing James blunt songs to youself til they think you've calmed down enough for em to let you out fir a little walk. Fucking nut job.
everyone seems to talk about how this song is beautiful or about ashcroft's voice, but in my opinion the true genius behind the verve is nick mccabe. his guitar work is otherworldly.
@MrMUGS94 yeah man, I'm a massive Oasis fan and got into the Verve a bit more recently, might seem a bit weird but I'm from Canada so yeah. I know the issue of Liam's voice is a bit tired and overtalked about already but for good reason really, it's just such a shame and a piss off lol. Have you heard the new BE single? Well dumb question, I've gotta say I'm a bit dissappointed though. Anyway it's good to see Ashcroft still gettin it done here in 08, only its too bad they broke for good as well.
@FedorEight you really have no taste in music clearly, because before you ive never heard a bad thing about The Verve (learn to spell), so stop making you crappy fart "music" and listen to real quality stuff like this, i realise everyone has their own opinion but who couldnt like this :P
Oh-oh...I've swatted the hornet's nest = drawn the ire of some1 who features Oasis for his channel background. I've done it now...
Did I not preempt my reply to you w/ these words: "no offense"?
By stating that I didn't 'appreciate' liam's sneering face, was this in any way a detraction from Oasis' contribution to rock & roll?
I simply dislike liam & especially his attitude. He thinks his shit is golden. At the 11th hr on several occasions he has refused to play at concerts con't>
And on 1 occasion, after having a stereotypical blowout w/ Noel, he sulked off into the audience, sat next to a fan & heckled Noel/refused to play. Noel went on w/ the concert (& gained my respect for doing so).
As for liam, if I'd been that fan he'd been sitting next to I'd have told him to get his winey/faggy-haired,dick-face down on stage & play what we'd all paid him to do. The gall of this mega-asshole to take his fans' money & then carry on like this.
liam was also banned from Cathay Pacific related to an incident where he hurled abuse at passengers, threw food around & got in a fight w/ staff & before u say this is cool/life of the rock star, etc I say this is just the trademark of a supreme asshole of the highest order who really needs to be handed his teeth in a little ziploc bag.
P.S. As a vocalist, his range is shite.
P.P.S. Oasis are vastly overrated & are now, artistically, a spent force
@atrumira This is exactly the sort of attitude everyone has. No1 actually looks deeper than the surface. Perhaps Liam, when he was young did make mistakes, but they were most probably born of the fact that ever since he was a boy his older brother (noel) constantly put him down and lorded it over him. Therefore the things liam did, such as not going on the USA tour, were probably because he was striving to shake loose of noels control.
@atrumira continued: Noel effectively (dont get me wrong, i have massive respect for him) took control of what had been Liams band (as you probably already know, called the rain). This is bound to have pissed liam off. Not because he Noel joined, obviously he wanted him to join, but because he took such control. What Noel wanted, he got. This doesnt make what liam did right, but you should at least look at the roots of what he did, which make it more understandable.
@atrumira Perhaps you should ask me first if i have taken offence before drawing your own conclusion. For your information i did not "take offence" i simply enquired about your hatred for Liam. Liam's "sneering face" is part of his performance, its not as if he walks around all day with a sneer. Liam (and noel) have been the last true rock band left until he broke up. All over similar bands had imploded long before. If Liam is such a dick head how come Richard is good friends with him?
The Verve are one of my favorite British bands along with Oasis, The Beatles, Stereophonics, Radiohead etc.

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote some nice rock n roll pop songs, but they never wrote a piece of orchestral music in their lives. The sample in question was from a orchestral interpretation of the Rolling Stone's song, "The Last Time", by the Gary Oldham Orchestra. Mr.Oldham took some liberties with the song, to say the least, and at least to my ears, the orchestral version sounds absolutely nothing like the original Stone's version.

@lepzedelin As a Frenchman living in Britain I couldn't agree more mate :) Anglo-Saxon music is awesome, not only pop rock, but also jazz and blues and all that stuff. You can eventually blame Britain for its food but when it comes to music, Britain has definitely got talent :)

@lepzedelin No doubt about it. you Brits can't do much else right but you do produce the best music. Britain made 80's music available for us. Without you, we get stuck with damn lady gaga and Justin Bieber. PLEASE, get some new bands so we can get rid of rap music and this other losers they push on us.

@IronKdv It doesn't matter if u r Colombian.I like alot of bands from the UK too,(Verve, Massive Attack, My Bloody Valentine etc) but I also like certain American groups (Jon Spencer,Beck, Moby etc), Australian groups (Nick Cave & the Bad seeds, AC/DC, The Church etc), French groups (Stereolab,Daft Punk,Air etc).I get a great high from Verve, MBV etc but I can get a great high from Nick Cave records.My point is that one countrie's music is not better than another's.Its about individualism.
HeavySabre70 11 months ago
@IronKdv Why don't you just say that you love bands from the UK? Or that you love The Verve and that they take you to a special place with you tune in? With creative pursuits like music or painting or sculpture or whatever, you can't really say to say one is better than the other.Who is better? Monet or Francis Bacon? Bacon was English and Monet French.They are both amazing artists but they have such different styles. U can't say one is better than the other. Same with music.

Urban Hymns is a masterpiece, but Storm in Heaven and Forth are also fantastic Verve albums. Richard Ashcroft is an absolutely brilliant singer, one of the best in the entire UK and the musicians in The Verve are also great...the sound that comes out in their live shows is huge....I hope they regroup and put out another record and tour.

I know the issue of Liam's voice is a bit tired and overtalked about already but for good reason really, it's just such a shame and a piss off lol. Have you heard the new BE single? Well dumb question, I've gotta say I'm a bit dissappointed though. Anyway it's good to see Ashcroft still gettin it done here in 08, only its too bad they broke for good as well.

Oh-oh...I've swatted the hornet's nest = drawn the ire of some1 who features Oasis for his channel background. I've done it now...
Did I not preempt my reply to you w/ these words: "no offense"?
By stating that I didn't 'appreciate' liam's sneering face, was this in any way a detraction from Oasis' contribution to rock & roll?
I simply dislike liam & especially his attitude. He thinks his shit is golden. At the 11th hr on several occasions he has refused to play at concerts con't>
atrumira 11 months ago
@atrumira > brieflycake con't
And on 1 occasion, after having a stereotypical blowout w/ Noel, he sulked off into the audience, sat next to a fan & heckled Noel/refused to play. Noel went on w/ the concert (& gained my respect for doing so).
As for liam, if I'd been that fan he'd been sitting next to I'd have told him to get his winey/faggy-haired,dick-face down on stage & play what we'd all paid him to do. The gall of this mega-asshole to take his fans' money & then carry on like this.

@atrumira >brieflycake con't
liam was also banned from Cathay Pacific related to an incident where he hurled abuse at passengers, threw food around & got in a fight w/ staff & before u say this is cool/life of the rock star, etc I say this is just the trademark of a supreme asshole of the highest order who really needs to be handed his teeth in a little ziploc bag.
P.S. As a vocalist, his range is shite.
P.P.S. Oasis are vastly overrated & are now, artistically, a spent force
(no offense :D )
atrumira 11 months ago
@atrumira This is exactly the sort of attitude everyone has. No1 actually looks deeper than the surface. Perhaps Liam, when he was young did make mistakes, but they were most probably born of the fact that ever since he was a boy his older brother (noel) constantly put him down and lorded it over him. Therefore the things liam did, such as not going on the USA tour, were probably because he was striving to shake loose of noels control.
brieflycake 11 months ago
@atrumira continued: Noel effectively (dont get me wrong, i have massive respect for him) took control of what had been Liams band (as you probably already know, called the rain). This is bound to have pissed liam off. Not because he Noel joined, obviously he wanted him to join, but because he took such control. What Noel wanted, he got. This doesnt make what liam did right, but you should at least look at the roots of what he did, which make it more understandable.
brieflycake 11 months ago
@atrumira Perhaps you should ask me first if i have taken offence before drawing your own conclusion. For your information i did not "take offence" i simply enquired about your hatred for Liam. Liam's "sneering face" is part of his performance, its not as if he walks around all day with a sneer. Liam (and noel) have been the last true rock band left until he broke up. All over similar bands had imploded long before. If Liam is such a dick head how come Richard is good friends with him?
