The Stones went for years before they even wrote their own music. I wonder how much the Rolling Stones have paid to all the blues artists whose songs powered their career in the beginning. My guess is not half as much as the Verve paid for this song.
At about 1:08 into this track you can hear the Last Time by the Stones. I don't know who arranged the instrumental of this track, but it's clear that the Verve (Ashcroft) nicked this and did a great job by adding lyrics. His problem was not with the Stones. Loog Oldman sold his interests in the Stones to Allan Klien who ripped off the Beatles, the Stones and anyone else he ever contracted with. Don't blame the Stones. It's Oldman and Klien that made sure the Verve got nothing.
Find 10 original melodies in modern music? Sorry, but I really can't- nor would I care to try- but does that makes it OK for the Verve to blatantly rip off the Stones? That's worse than any Capitalist daring to make money! If it bores you then oh well but this most certainly is "The Last Time"- at a much slower pace. Without the Stones tune, the stale "gutsy lyrics" would be nothing but another bunch of random words floating about in never never land. Just what we need, more angry lyrics!
This is very cool. I can see why the Verve sampled it - it makes sense. What I fail to see, however, is exactly what makes this a rendition of "The Last Time". No one could play the two songs for me, side by side or otherwise, and convince me they were from the same source.
