[0King2Of0Yesterday]

[wwillow1]

yes it bloody was!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnasonason]

fucking awesome!

[christopherk86music]

Wigan was quaking at that moment... awesome!!

[GergelAni]

The reason I entered this conversation at all was,because of some drunken empty head,who was about ''The Verve are the better,and Oasis shit compare to them''.Well,everyone has opinion,but before you compare Verve with Oasis,try first to compare them with Pulp or Coldplay or Suede.Why everybody needs to hit EXACTLY the Biggest Ones?

Same as Man Utd ... or The Beatles ...

[GergelAni]

Deal with it,people - Oasis are mega FAMOUS and Verve are just FAMOUS.This is about popularity.Dot!

Now,The Verve and Oasis have a lot differece in the style,apart from a few songs,that is also correct.

And after all,we are talking about different bands here.I don't understand why you people are trying to compare them?It's obvious Oasis are from outter space,compare to Verve,but let us all be happy after all,eh???

[titocold]

the verve es musica de varias facetas... no es lo mismo oir el the verve de all in the mind o el de bitter sweet symphony... son cosas distintas... the verve es variedad! es musica! es humano! son sentimientos, bien expresados! majestuosamente transcritos musicalmente por estos 4 genios! y punto. Nada comercial! nada de fama! solo musica!

[GergelAni]

Didn't got a word.

CAN'T YOU WRITE ANYTHING IN ENGLISH,MATE???

[therealcaptobvious]

@titocold, agreed. They're incredibly versatile. A lot of acts out there are marketing more than music. This is music.

[Muttleyisalegend]

You'll be hard pushed to find a single guitarist make as much noise as this. The man is a genius, unbelieveable!!

[ROCKPERUparatodos]

the best song this my favorite This surpasses OASIS

so good ROCK N ROLL

THE BEST ALBUM Urban Hymns by the verve very good the new album FORTH

GREETINGS FROM THE PERÚ

[nmacog]

This Is How Its Done People - nuff said xXx

[joe130908]

[UeyUeyAzteca]

Are you sure this is Wigan? I went to that concert and don't recall all those people and video displays and I was close to the stage.

[ollieharper101]

i wish i was there so bad it looks mental

[HumptyKing]

[BARRIBRUCE]

[fju2112]

this band rules. please get it together for another album, guys; Forth was excellent and the Glasto show was classic!

[Alwaystuned]

McCabe is god!!!

[stoneroses22]

Just simply, awesome. Shame I was 11at the time.

[coldoptfc27]

Fucking amazing live version of the song they were on fire that day

[GergelAni]

I love the classic bands,man.Such a magic music.Just see : The Beatles Queen Oasis The Rolling Stones U2 Status Quo The Doors Blur Led Zeppelin Creedence ABBA The Bee Gees Dire Straits Wings Deep Purple The Kinks Radiohead ... etc.

Ah,yeah.Did somebody saw anywhere The Verve? I guessed so.And you know now why {}

[bally156]

oasis, magpie music man

[GergelAni]

No doubt The Verve are good and full of energy.But hey,it is pointless comparing them to Oasis.Not a chance,man.There is only one greatest band and it is Oasis.Never forget that.Cheers...

[alanteixs]

You can't compare those two bands, stupid.

Despite being britpop, they have their own ways of making sound.

[oasisforever00]

Well said, they all fight about which bands is better c'mon they are complitely different!

[TheWiganKebab]

You are fucking Clueless.

Verve piss on Oasis from on high.

[GergelAni]

yeah! but...Who the fuck are Verve???

[ftechone]

Cmon now.......

[turnersterror88]

Don't be daft. Oasis are a pop band, The Verve are rock and roll.

[theelimann]

I was a deep deep heart and soul Oasis fan since 1996, but now I'm not afraid to say that I realize they are just a Stone Roses cover band (with a lot of songwriting talent).

[GergelAni]

:) And WHICH song exactly from the whole Verve's discography can be rated as Rock'N'Roll???

The Verve are light years away from Rock'N'Roll,dear.

The Verve are part of Britpop-styled bands.Others include Manic Street Preachers,Pulp,Travis,Suede and Supergrass.

Got that? Cheers

[turnersterror88]

Start with This is Music, then go from there.

[GergelAni]

This Is Music?

Well,one of my favourite Verve songs...but this is not a rock song,mate.This is sheer Britpop.And Britpop is not rock,you know.That's why it was so great back in the mid 90's.

Listen to some Ramones,Status Quo,or Queen...and you'll see what I mean.

[turnersterror88]

Utter nonsense. Status Quo were a pop band with guitars, the Verve are a pure rock band, a million miles away from Country House or Live Forever or Common People.

[GergelAni]

The Verve Are A Pure Rock Band...This is the biggest laugh ever :)))

OK,take care with the ''rock'' music that you are listening.

There is no point of arguing with a paranoid android,so this Was it,D'You Know What I Mean? (yeah yeah)

[turnersterror88]

Hmm well when I think of a rock band I think Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc. The Verve had songs as heavy as Zeppelin and as just pure crazy as the Floyd. Just because they were from the North, working class and popular the same time as Oasis doesn't make them Oasis. Wake up.

[furmountain21]

You think of Pink Floyd as a rock band? I still can't figure out what this feud between Verve and Oasis fans is all about.. I'm not British but have been listening to British music since before the Jam. Ever heard of them? The House Martins? The Chameleons?

[turnersterror88]

Prog rock is still rock to be fair. And there is usually very little feud but I don't like how people think they are one and the same. Apart from a handful of songs on Urban Hymns The Verve definitely did not make Britpop music.

Course everyone has heard of all those bands!

[Thegibbo123]

Not Rock or Britpop really, it has aspects of both.. but the genre is.. The Verve

[titocold]

pero como puede comparar a the verve con ramones! los ramones son simplemente 4 tipos atormentados! no tienen ni armonia en sus canciones ni versos! queen es una cosa totalmente distinta! es POP! QUEEN = CULTURA POP!

esto es rock! esto es musica!

puede q lo cataloguemos por urban hymns como britpop.. urban hymns es semejante a un album britpop, pero ha eschuchado a northern soul y storm in a heaven?

sabe en realidad que es the verve?

es musica!

[therealcaptobvious]

@titocold, agreed. The Verve is somewhere between Queen and the Ramones. That's what they remind me of, NOT Oasis.

I think the reason why Oasis is big is because they directly resemble the Beatles, which was pop... more marketing gimmickry. Oasis is good, maybe it's the fault of the industry but I got *really* bored with them.

[therealcaptobvious]

YES! MTV isn's so much of an outlet for rock and roll, they act like there's no market for it.

[CharleyFarley1040]

Well, well, well. So we have plagiarism here. Rip off city here we come !!. It was always going to be a contest between them and Gallagher as to who ripped off Aphrodite's Child 'Four Horseman' , first. I guess Ashcroft et al got there first. Shame they couldnt even come up with something original. His 'Pom pom pom' lyrical infills at 3.30 are even direct copies from the original. How sad. i rest my case. Game , Set & Match to Aphrodites Child.

[earsuboat]

its not a rip off... its called hommage to the music they love.

you sound like a proper twat.

[movieposterboy]

yes.

[quikygreen]

Jeez.

THIS IS MUSIC. This band is fuckin' awesome. They are sooo good in live. And Nick Mc Cabe is a pure legend. Ashcroft's lyrics are masterpiece.

[ubergeekalicious]

Does anyone know what the line after "with a drugstore wife" is? None of the lyrics I have found so far sound accurate (to my ears anyway). "I was dealing soul and other white" is one syllable short, and "I was feeling sober than otherwise" sounds wrong, and grammatically screwed up. It almost fits, except the end is more like "white" than "wise". I could be wrong though. Any ideas?

[pembo18]

I was dealing soul and other white,

I won't shake no hands...

[mhoverthere]

I think it's 'I was dealing, sold a bit of the white'

Not sure what 'white' is but I guess it's a drug.

[ubergeekalicious]

Genius!!! That makes PERFECT sense. Man, you have no idea how much I have agonised over that line. You deserve pancakes for breakfast. =]

[sicktube66666]

AWESOME!! Richard is the shit!!!

[oasisforever00]

astonishing!

[mh001mh]

tune

[jimmorrisonequalsgod]

ASHCROFT FOR PRIME MINISTER!

What a fucking band!!!

I'm on a big jet plane

With my baby's crime in my veins

I'll be the first to toast

Yeahhhhhhhh

To my rotten soul

COMMMMME OOOOOOOOON!

[ILoveOasis123]

The Verve is the best...But Oasis.....they are secong......2 greatest bands ever....my opinion....

[allth3s4me]

LISTEN STARTING FROM 3:39.... its one of the best guitar parts ive ever heard in my entire life. its the sound from another universe, man

[specialzool]

Gert mint

[vitom84]

That is one crazy gig!

[sangbubu]

hey..ashcroft someone that we really need in musician terms..i really want to be there!!fantastic atmosphere!!

[allth3s4me]

i really want to play there

[wiganraf]

I lived about 3 miles from haigh hall at the time of the gig, it took us ages to get there.. it was an amazing day... and I was treated to an extra does when I got home the gig was on bbc2 (i think it was on around 11pm that night). I still have this on VHS somewhere.... amazin thanks for the memories

[shaneobcfc89]

one of the best verve videos! ashcroft is the man, class at v festival

[Zeggle]

One of the 1st gigs these dudes played b4 ashcroft was around was at this little appley bridge, wigan. church hall in 1979.

[wopman1010]

Really? You got an address for it maybe? I'm an obsessive Verve fan! Cheers!

[Jackerzz2]

Verve at Glasto

Fucking brilliant

[allth3s4me]

ahahahhahhah @ nufc86... but this vid greatly shows that all stones can go and suck the biggest cock in teh world and theyre still just some backroad whores... im not a fan of the verve or anything but just being objective- this band is like billion miles better!!

[sean161178]

Def better than oasis and i was a huge fan of both, the soundscapes mccabe can create are awesome, this is no better an example. Here's hoping the new album will cement them as one of the best ever....

[t00117598]

its going to be pretty hard to top the first 3, but you never know.

[Willdo89]

Much better than the album version, which is one of my favourites from Urban Hymns.

Faster, bigger, tougher, I like it :)

[hardyboylufc]

Took me old man to this, his first gig in nearly 20 year, rated it his best ever. Sublime day. Thing is...they're better now. Arguments aside, always felt they were better than Oasis got the feeling they might just be about to prove it. COME ON!!!!

[kristoffmcewan]

don't forget kula shaker...brith-psychedelic-ind­ian rock in the '90

[gdynia87]

Punk ? R U fuckin' serious ?

[verveverveverve]

more 30 days man!!! yea!!!

[nufc86]

i'm suprised the stone didn't take the royalties of this song 4 usin da word rolling!

[allth3s4me]

much better than fucking shit Oasis.

[martefc88]

oasis and shit in the same sentence controversial

[shakermaker88]

Rolling people was unbelieveable at Glasto last night, Nick was amazing, cant wait for the new album

[theBESTelvis]
