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.

@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!

@mrvaugier No but it has a lot to with the culture and background they where brought up in. But yeah there are other great bands around the globe

@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
-
In my humble opinion, The Verve and Oasis were LAST true bands..

cant believe this aint in the millions for views. That means there are a shitload of people missing out!
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!

British bands are really awesome. This truth cannot be denied.
But it doesn't mean they're good because they're british.
They're good. That's enough.
Just like there are other good artists all around the globe.
