The Verve were an English rock band formed in Wigan in 1990 by lead vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bass guitarist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. The guitarist and keyboard player Simon Tong became a member at a later date.
Beginning with a psychedelic sound, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and three albums. It also endured name and line-up changes, break-ups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. The band's commercial breakthrough was the 1997 album Urban Hymns, one of the best-selling albums in UK Chart history. The album features the hit singles "Bitter Sweet Symphony", "The Drugs Don't Work" and "Lucky Man". In 1998, the band won two Brit Awards—winning Best British Group, appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in March, and in February 1999, "Bitter Sweet Symphony" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
Soon after their commercial peak, The Verve broke up in April 1999, citing internal conflicts. According to Billboard magazine, "the group's rise was the culmination of a long, arduous journey that began at the dawn of the decade and went on to encompass a major breakup, multiple lawsuits, and an extensive diet of narcotics". During an eight-year split, Ashcroft dismissed talk of a reunion, saying: "You're more likely to get all four Beatles on stage." The band's original line-up reunited in June 2007, embarking on a tour later that year and releasing the album Forth in August 2008, which spawned the hit single "Love Is Noise". Amid revived tensions, the band broke up for the second time in 2009.

The most beautiful collection of cathartic sounds to provoke all the senses! - And not by a chance the guitarist Nick McCabe might be the only person to blow out an amp at Glastonbury twice!!

The Verve in concert at Haigh Hall, Wigan, Sunday 24th May 1998. There are serious audio/video syncing issues with this video so I've now re-uploaded to https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video;_id=tKndXmWZPgE which seems to be ok. I'll take this one down in a few days.
What an amazing performance!

Sólo miro al cielo y pienso, en un lugar estás tú, que estás bien, que estás feliz y aunque estés muy lejos, estás todos los días en mí, yo deseando con todo mi corazón que seas feliz, muy feliz, que encuentres a alguien para ser feliz, aunque me muera de ganas por ser esa pe...

A NEW MILLENIUM AND THE RADIO STILL PLAYS THE SOUNDS THEY MADE! Curiously A Storm In Heaven could be a more appropriated title for this album. With - A Northern Soul - they would find the beauty in despair. The band’s questionable decision to write their next album in a black room in an industrial space might have done just as much to determine their mood as reflect it. The astronauts are crashing back through the ionosphere. For the first time, the Verve sounded angry and wounded but still in a brilliant and genial way! The bonus tracks here alone would deserve an whole album for themselves! Some tracks give glimpses of what was to come on Urban Hymns and beyond; a band that was actually on the rise when by all accounts, including its own, it was done for. That reincarnated Verve will ...

In this episode our host John Doran sits down with former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft ahead of the release of his fourth solo album 'These People’. Ashcroft discusses fatherhood, what he misses about the North, and Bitter Sweet Symphony. In John’s own words: Today I am speaking to one of the biggest, and arguably most misunderstood pop stars of last quarter of a century: Richard Ashcroft. His band The Verve were one of the most unlikely success stories of the 1990s, predicted by no-one bar him. Nearly twenty years after the phenomenal success of Urban Hymns, Ashcroft has become ambiguous about fame, but as this rare interview proves, he has more to say than ever.

Controversy exists over The Verve's biggest hit, "Bitter Sweet Symphony", which uses a sample of Andrew Oldham Orchestra's recording of The Rolling Stones' 1965 song "The Last Time".

Описание Richard Ashcroft - Interview with Jools Holland -HD-
The documentary video that is included on itunes if you buy the whole album Forth. Not many videos of The verve giving interviews and talking about the band so I thought I would share this. If you really want to see the video and it's blocked for you send me a message and I will try to get you a link to a working copy. Well YouTube has flagged this video for copyright. They are telling me that it is now blocked in Canada, Germany, and United States. So I'am guessing a lot of people wont be able to see it. I'll just leave it on here since it wont hurt anything, but if it says its blocked for you I'am sorry. It was only a matter of time before they caught it I guess.
Zoe Ball presented the BRIT Award for Best British Album at The BRIT Awards 1998 to The Verve.

What I said
Couldn't be that good
Because you left
You left
What I did
Seems so strange now
When I touch you
And you taught me
And what we did
was something good
What we did.......
You changed me
I couldn't change
I couldn't change
