Nick is and always will be my guitar hero .. no one sounds like him and probably one of the most underrated guitarist of all time … I dream of them getting back together
As a Yank , across the “ pond” . I fully concur with your opinion. I play too, But Nick always made it so effortless and surreal…. Trust me not as easy as it sounds 🤙🏽
Because Richard played the PR game really well.. after A Northern Soul it was all about him.. when Urban Hymns went massive how many times did you see the band on covers of magazines, always RA on his own.. even the videos for tracks.. Bitter Sweet Symphony.. the band only join him as an afterthought at the end.. and during this set he remarks about “this lot” wanting bigger wages.. his ego is enormous, and he has no qualms in thinking the rest of the Verve are his backing band.. he only got the band back together because his solo career was flagging. To him, Urban Hymns was his first solo album, his only regret is giving any credit and royalties to the rest of the band… his old mates. Let’s face it, he shines brightest with their contribution.. his solo output without them is lacking something in comparison.
The Pumpkins are my favorite band of all time. However, I can't really put The Verve behind them. The Verve I believe in the 90s were such a powerful phenomenon that they changed me personally for life. There will never be another band as powerful. Lightning in a bottle
God, those vocals on Rather Be...! They're so perfect that, if it wasn't the gigantic Richard singing here, i would have guessed they are pre-recorded. They're perfectly sung, balanced... Everything. Speaks volume on the incredible talent of this band and their singer
Thanks for this video. Very nice to watch. 1:06 Sit and wonder 7:09 Sonnet 11:46 Rather be 17:23 This is music 21:35 Lucky man 26:50 Bitter sweet symphony 33:59 Love in noise
Always forget what a fuckin heavy tune This Is Music is. What an album opener, it straps you to a fuckin rocket & lights the fuse - no stopping til the ride ends🤣👊👊👊🚀🚀🚀
+Eden tification Maybe some people prefer other bands though. Alot of taste has to do with when a person was brought up, teenage years or personal relations to music. I admire all the bands you mentioned and I know they influenced the majority of modern music today, but I prefer The Verve, Depeche Mode, U2 and Oasis also myself. They are a part of Me growing up
Such a shame that the albums stopped coming. But thank God we got to hear this glorious music while they were around. Saw them on their comeback in 2007 at the Camden Roundhouse, hairs on end.
Brilliant, Love is noize, Sit and wonder , and Rather be!!! I wonder if Nick resented the violinist ?? He so virtuoso..🤷🏻♂️. Loved this band through all the highs and lows…. Solid Band. Boy , the hours spend listening to this music is uncountable…. RIP The verve😘
OMG! NO WORDS The Sound is perfection -- This is Music--- My Music FOREVER Richard has the Best Voice -- - Nick Guitar perfection.... Keep the Music coming!!!!!!
This band are so important. His gets better with age. I feel lucky to have grown up with verve as my soundtrack. From Slide Away to This Thing Called Life...unreal.
These lads put gallagers posse in cupboard.listen to them everyday waiting on thare nx coming . Saw haigh hall hooked ever since .Saw Ashcroft 3 times solo not patch till ramps old the old stuff out
I am always struck by cameras on bass and drums when a slide solo is ripping apart the seams of a song. Nick McCabe is the sound of this band - show his work!
I always got the sense that Urban Hymns was a victory lap for all the hard work they put in on previously recordings. The songs just came together with ease. Could be totally wrong, but that was the sense I always got. Lucky Man is so effortless, so simple, and yet brilliant.
What a epic performance! Richard is great and genius, what a voice! But the camera is a dumb, ignore Nick solos, what a shame! 👎 Peter playing better than ever, Si Jones groove master, please Verve, comeback! ✌
Electric violin should be used far more and effects pedals etc can be used and it adds a different dimension, atmosphere to the music. Bob Dylan uses violin in some of his songs and the gtrat bass player Tony Garnier.
Aquí escogieron un resumen acotado de sus primeros álbumes en vivo incluyendo infaltablemente la entonces espina clavada como es Bittersweet Symphony que motivó la disolución de esta banda.
Asi es. Bittersweet Simphony era la pesada mochila que Ashcroft y su banda la cargó por un lapso muy largo. Felizmente terminó para bien con el acuerdo que benefició a Ashcroft y The Verve.
Matt Milsovic Agreed. This one hurts so much. A powerful collaboration of artists. I yearn for their return but I think Nick and Richard are just uninterested in ever playing together again.
