Richard Ashcroft is the most beautiful man I've ever seen. He is genius. I love the band, their music takes me in other worlds. And Richard... Everything in him is so beautiful... His hair, eyes and lips...
Wow!!! I've been looking for this clip for ages. I used to have it taped onto a VHS, but lent it to someone many years ago and didn't get it back.... Hats off to you moejorris :)
At my first Verve gig I witnessed 'Mad Richard' wigging out a few feet in front of me at The Venue in Edinburgh. Those were the days! Still got a setlist from that night :D
"... I think that's when you start losing your heroes, really, cause you can see right through them, they make fools of themselves... what's the point in falling in love with someone when they're gonna be making records when they're 50 or 40"
Someone needs to show this clip to richard now.
the first three eps and storm in heaven were AMAZING, after that they've just been getting worse and worse.
i dunno if they are necessarily dull these days,they still put on a good show.i saw em play in 97 ,the weekend before urban hymns came out and they were as psychedelic as ever,truly the best performance by a band i ever witnessed.
I dont know, the music scene overall is the shittiest ever right now, and there new album is the first verve album that I've been compelled (blown away by, Valium skies and Judas).
I agree with every1 here its a fantastic interview thanx moejorris 4 posting this gem. Richard is wise beyond his years. I'v read about his eccentric stage performances its a total treat to see that footage.
@davidwebster90 yeah it's Richard's flat, and that clock on the wall is at the same hour of the EP cover. The clock also appears on the Gravity Grave single and also has the same hour.
Agreed this is wonderful. Never seen it before, Richard's voice has just got better and better from these early days. The Verve are awesome from their early beginnings to their recent concert in Germany. Long may they reign as the best group ever.
Absolutely brilliant, they are the only band i adore. I just love all of their music. Richards voice melts me. They are my heroes. To me no other band has their unique style, and rare special talent!!! :D
WANT THAT FULL RECORDING OF CHANGE MY LIFE!!
There's no decent recording of it around anywhere!

What's Jamie Wharton talking about" Sad to see this version of the band no longer exists" I am totally perplexed by his remarks.....

the freaky psychedelia of 'a storm in heaven' i would guess as opposed to the indie anthems of 'urban hymns'?
