Such a loss to British music that they couldn't keep their career going for much longer after their huge breakthrough. I've always speculated that the break up of The Verve cleared the way for Coldplay.

i didn't care for bittersweet symphony and found their albums patchy but they had some of my favorite songs from the early-mid 90s like blue, slide away, on your own

I didn't find SIH patchy, but as they aged they did start to get like that with Northern Soul a little bit, and then UH was very patchy.

Hot take:
Ashcroft is a better singer than Jagger, but not much of a frontman

>>127095527
>blue, slide away
Both excellent though, I might add

>>127095604
>better

Two different types of music. Ashcroft would sound shit sing blues rock and Jagger would be a joke singing the Verve's songs.

>>127095616
This guy could pull off both though.

its weird. when i first heard this album, ashcroft voice reminded me a bit of mick jagger. but watching online reviews, nobody made that comparision.i im not saying he sounds exactly like him, but he´s got a jaggeresque thing going on

>>127095800
But he literaly changed his personality everytimr

>>127095993
Aye guy was a chameleon, a very good one at that.

>>127095463 (OP)
Now he´s Neil diamond

>>127095496
agree. to think their lead guitarist is just doing whatever now when he was capable of all that beautiful noise - what a waste.

>>127097233
Lol, fuck off richard. Go back to your neil diamond tribute show.

keked

>>127098298
Why would Richard compliment McCabe? Makes no sense.

PS Don't sleep on South Pacific, anons

10 metres between the band and the front row of the audience.
what's the point of going to a concert like this?

another example

>>127099698
none of these limey bands have the balls (or should i say stones) to emulate his dancing

>>127099950
Awesome vid, although I don't hear Mick in it.

>>127099958
Its more the voice that he's emulating.

>>127100140
we know. and oldham's arrangements.

>>127100139
Actually, maybe a smidge on Blue. Just a smidge though during the chorus.

>>127100139
Its the voice.

>>127100210
A bit more than a smidge. Slide away has angie vibes

>>127095463 (OP)
got to see them live on this tour, amazing

When i mean of ashcroft sounding like Mick Jagger, i meant this performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iHWYXp5zw4
