Richard Ashcroft - Bittersweet Symphony

[AxeHomeless]

Is it just me or does Richard looks like LIam and Noel combined?

[arrelite]

the record company sued them, I hardly believe richards or jagger even lifted a finger to ensure that money ended up in their pockets.. they don't even have the rights to their old 60s material anymore, everything belongs to the record company... just wanted to clear things up.. Richards is god.

[doa2382]

@arrelite Allen Klein instigated the lawsuit.

[Mzzy1979]

awesome! even it´s most of jagger/richards

[philflipper1]

this is magical best performance ,young dylan looks sound style , voice . one word . shivers -lush !

[sossoni]

Moving me to tears

[SuperHamshank]

noel gallagher does a pretty decent cover of this,but this the DB

[Rigson]

he sounds like Tom Petty when he first starts singing

[YoungFlannel]

Jagger/Richards may have got the rights, but they can never take away the song, which will forever be remembered as a masterstroke of The Verve.

[jasonlloyd33]

What a brilliant fucking song. Keith ... you got greedy WTF!

[sjmc197575]

Richard ashcroft AKA,fucking legend

and this session is "Gold"

[MCFCRuss]

Richard Ashcroft IS 1 Cool Motherfucker

A Pukka frontman

hats off.

i say no more..............

[j66hng]

Salt and vinegar discos are so strong!

[micka141]

Defiantly can belt a song out.



[mattyboyrevell]

Richard Ashcroft is the main man.. The best front man/singer songwriter of his generation and cool as fuck. Legend

[woolard5116]

Can someone please tel me who scott is???

[zeusgeor]

Llevo 2 semanas seguidas oyendo esta canción. desde el minuto 4:25 esta interpretación es sublime

[TrevligaProduktioner]

His voice may hardly be beautiful, but a voice that conveys more soul than this one can not fucking be found...

[zeusgeor]

Existe algo mejor?



[TheVerve256]

'if trees cut stars and eyes to heaven, i'll bend them back and bend them again' (already there) - almost 13 years since this man changed my life and perception of music. fucking genius, nothing else to say =)

[Kievest]

A solitary but eloquent voice that can speak to every generation if we only listen

and allow ourselves to hear! Thank you Yago86 for posting and to MrKingsRow

for sharing!

[philippe7272]

which title of the Stones are you refering to?

[wilts32uk]

god i loved the verve, really miss them! remember being an 18 year old when urban hyms came out, was blown away! will always be one of my fav all time albums!

[LordEizen]

i want this in mp3 !! i need to hear this sound that recognizes the pain in me :D

[MrKingsRow]

This is awesome...what a voice Richard has...thanks for sharing this...it's very moving to watch...Merry Christmas...Happy New Year 2011...Peace. :)

[FASHIONCONSPIRACY]

@MrKingsRow ty for the share...very good and raw ! thumbs up !

[DrewieMEDIA]

this guy is just incredible.. not a day goes by i don't think about bittersweet symphony <3

[LedZeppelin827]

ok ive had enough of the jagger/richards comments it was alan klien, the stones manager who demanded the royalties from this song, NOT mick or keith.

[muerto007]

@LedZeppelin827 True, true and true!

[MofroStone]

Damn this is a totally great version of an all time favourite song!! Ashcroft - you rock!!

[leonelp51]

the rolling stones ... the most OVERRATED band ever ... believe it or not its true ... its all about their logo and ppl saying "oh is cool" ...

[Darietto1986]

@leonelp51 Rolling Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who etc ARE LEGEND!!!! RESPECT!!!

Great song Richard! Great Work

[leonelp51]

@Darietto1986 I RESPECT ALL OF THEM, BUT NOT THE STONES .......

[botdorf]

Jagger is a overrated fagot and should go back to sucking Boey's dick instead of trying to sue over a string piece that wasnt really needed for this great song. The Stones should of said sucking in life instead of sucking in the 70's.

[robertdejong123]

fuck the stones!!! 100% ashcroft baby

[Bloodragea]

what chords does he use?

[fireforfiretiger]

cant trace those fckn stones in this song,,,isnt?

[fireforfiretiger]

i really like this song (10 times)...and rolling stones' the last time--not a bit.

[Ljonja]

Perfect!!! I like this version so much!!!

[nirvanarugby]

best live ive ever seen, just sheer passion

[everyonesguitar]

if you want to learn to play this check out my video lesson at everyonesguitar

[Buckets321]

Too good for words!!!

[noko1984]

3:22 - 3:30

[msINDIpendent1]

This is transcendent.

[wangramires]

Fantastic

[inerte23]

Porra !

Que música !

BONA VOX ! BONA VOX ! BONA VOX !

[HiThereImSwe]

@berrygirl1964 MEMHMEHEMHEEEEHEHEEH DOGS FARTING :DDDDDDDD

[TheWordBand]

wow

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

@berrygirl1964 yeah well said..

[shizna123]

haha how wasted is the girl in the front row at 1:05?

[danmang92]

who is scott??

[pauliewaulieflimflam]

sung with emotion, gave me fu*king chills man

[aprilemily]

awesome

[Murfs13]

all this talk of noel cleaning ashcrofts shoes is bullshit... look at some interviews, one of ashcrofts biggest idols is gallagher... they have a mutual respect of each other, the verve are a great band, oasis are a great band... talk of who is better is ridiculous and pointless, just enjoy their music

[foreverashcroft]

@Murfs13 ..well said, they are each others equal.. both class..

[andre14ac]

Dont get me wrong..but i thing you can´t compare Richard Ashcroft's to Noel Gallagher.. their both great artists but with diferent music styles..

[araeshora]

who is Scott?

[Lorenziz]

Noel Gallagher cleans Richard Ashcroft's shoes

[Buckets321]

Noel Gallagher tickets going for hundreds on ebay, cos he is a legend and will be amazin solo gigs, but, is he worth hundreds more that ashcroft live???

[robrocks34]

richie a is a far superior song writer and noel can only dream about playing the guitar like mccabe :)

[elumees1990]

THE BEST!

[kpleito]

this song like to me so much than i make a cover of this great song

is my firs cover

plis every one have to see hem

[robrocks34]

this track is quite possibly the greatest opening track off any album ever perhaps with the exception of  marvin gaye's whats going on

[hurtreliefhurt]

oh this accent... love it.

[flyasfastasyoucan]

excellent !!!!!

[joshdivney]

They didn't have permission...they just lifted it straight off Andrew Oldhams record and didn't tell their producer (Youth)

[roberto121395]

awesome

[sauceyboy]

Fuck the Stones for taking all these young guys' money for using a sample they fucking had permission to take. The song is still true to itself without the string line. ARGH INJUSTICE

[theverve92]

richard ashcroft is simply the man

[gypmeister52]

awesome song, by the way happyhouse22 the 1960's called they want their lingo back

[XaNy93]

3:28 (L)

[TheAxelou67]

j'en ai la chaire de poule !

[Detekenaar]

Fan-tastic !

[laurens56]

Verry good.

[tirthankar102]

this is majestic......no matter what versions i have been listenin too it always sounds awesome.....way to go....the evergreen song....BITTER SWEET SYMPHONY

[happyhouse22]

jeepers thats nice

[SlicedBeefNWotNot]

never trust anyone who wears sunglasses indoors

[xxdyogas1]

@SlicedBeefNWotNot

Except when his name is Richard Ashcroft or Liam Gallagher

[irena2009]

his voice is among the finest of all

[ertrzymiks]

SHIVERS !

[jguitar151]

holy shit!!! This IS awesome

[dieggu]

holy shit!!! this is awesome

[lisaleyandjim]

precious!!!

[southerndandy89]

Fuck Richards and Jagger and whoever else sued them. Keep the strings, this song is mega without em'. Ashcroft, that voice and a gibson is all you need.

[foreverashcroft]

well fkn said man got that in fkn one..ashcrofts a fkn genius..

[oasiswizard]

it would still be ripping off the melody which is infringement on copywrite.

[nagolgust037]

@southerndandy89 what you say

[officialdjdirtyjake]

@southerndandy89 without them there is no song. lol the band asked to use a sample... not the whole background of a rolling stones song. there for ashcroft and his band owe the credit of this song to the stones. (PERIOD) it is that simple... anyone to differ from this just hasnt listened to the stones song. its pretty much the same without the lyrics ashcroft added (which dont get me wrong were great).

[afbabigrl19]

what an amazing musician this guy is. One fricken MIGHTY talented individual he is, yup yup

[EJBgraphics]

This mans voice is absolutely amazing.

[ltownguitarplayer]

completly brilliant song

[danmang92]

does anybody know a website where u can download this into itunes cause i think this is the best version

[manyties]

ok maybe hes not the best... um... talker lol but aty least his musics great eh?

thats all we RELEL carre about

[Randal2k1]

wat a legend, he always gets it spot on!! im a massive oasis fan but compared to liam gallagher i have to say that as a performer ashcroft wins and this is proof!!

[wwillow1]

fkn amazing ashcroft as always......my god like genius..always was ...always will be.....

[araeshora]

Awesome!

[boatsdontfloat]

he says 'my FERVOR for music'. and 'to MEET somebody'

[extremeprogrammer0]

You're the Man Ashcroft!!!!!

[Soulcarvers]

well if yuo dont like his accent mikeymaxcamhab then dont comment and keep it to yourself,fyi his british so stfu

[frednhb]

this is an amazing version

[drummerm]

i really like it, but i dont like it when the audience takes over... its like you're listening to this song for the singer to sing it, i'd rather have him sing the whole thing with whatever creative twist he has spun on it and not letting the audience take the liberty.

[dMbsndEvL9]

It wasn't a creative twist. He straight mixed up the verses.

[drummerm]

I think you missed my point.

[dMbsndEvL9]

No. I didn't. If you go to a concert and expect people not to sing along, don't go to a concert. Its clearly evident that he doesn't mind the crowd singing one of the greatest songs of their time.

[drummerm]

I would go to a concert to Be entertained. I wouldn't go to entertain myself though.

[alexvalstef]

Simply Amazing ! <3 his music is fantastic :] We all love richard

[mrway667]

great

[Colatron]

Best song ever. Simple as

[iCamEntertainment]

... depends on what you like. cause stairway to heaven IS THE BEST!

[grassinigrassini]

depends on what you like too.

[ChrisDorgan]

Wow, i think this might be one of the best versions of this song... stripped bare n jst the man the legend givin it beans!.. mind u the glasto one is pretty good as well haha! x

[TrAsHcOvEr]

woww...silent please...this is fantastic

[julien45]

[happyhouse22]

[shankerfish]

holy crap this sucks!!

[freydey]

true

[robtrenton]

Amazing performance...spread such things around the world is the best part of YOUTUBE. Congratulations to Yago86 !...

[IamtheGrynch]

Is that a 5150 in the background? Wow. Wouldn't expect to see a band/artist like this using an amp like that.

[robrocks34]

this is a brave statement to make but this has just got to be 1 of if not the greatest opening track of any album perhaps you can count marvins whats going on :)

[KarlKunst]

He´s the best singer in the world!

[tabovilla]

excellent

[lunar52]

What a performance.

[rugbyplayr11]

fuck that guy can sing

[ric3787]

Best version of the song i've heard.

[beatles0072]

the best version after the original, almost tears!

[jmiotke22]

insanely good

[cavalrybob]

STUNNING

[happyhouse22]

check out the ABSOLUTELY WASTED bird at 1.03 & 4.01. I mean she is wasted and she's even able to lose her balance on the guardrail as she leaned her elbow against it.

[McHodgebin]

BABA BOOEY!

His home theatre looks pretty sweet to me.

Fuck Ralph, I'm sick of his bullshit.

Berryfaced asshole.

HA!

[joeyrittenhouse]

baba booey loves this song, when he is rocking his barstool

[kdflufc]

[dMbsndEvL9]

[kdflufc]

pure class

[longitudes]

A song for the world

A song for ever!

[jesustomedas]
