      @@xiaoxia5 Yea. No one but the band members and those close to them will no the full story probably. But the rocky history and multiple breakups of the verve is usually blamed on issues between Richard and Nick. I remember reading somewhere, and I think this was from Nick him self, that after one show (when they were touring for urban hymns, sometime before Nick left of course) the night ended with Nick having a broken finger and Richard a swollen nose lol. I've also read that things were not always smooth between Richard and Si either. Apparently neither Nick or Si have spoken to Richard in years.

    • @supershedseven
      @supershedseven Рік тому +1

      @@sean8102 The final rift in the band became mainly between Si and Richard whilst Nick didnt really have any beef the 3rd and final time round. Nick actually rang Richard to see if he wanted to do something around the 25th year since U.H. and didnt phone him back. Nick said he spoke to Kate on the phone and had a good chat but it never got a response, but Si seemed a lot more annoyed this time around and i thought i read it was something to do with wives. Si was very annoyed at the way Richard ended it this time around because he never would say anything and then rather than speak face to face with the band about the end, he released a statement out online. From my understanding Pete also hasnt spoke to Richard since and he was his solo drummer until Verve reformed but never returned when Richard decided to go back to his solo career.

Si is a damn good bass player (and I love his excitement/enthusisasim on stage, esp at the Glastonbury concert). And Pete is a rock solid drummer. All together with Richard they formed a truly special band, such a shame they can't seem to get along (rumors always seem to suggest big problems between Nick and Richard, although I read Si hasn't spoken to Richard in a few years either).

    Thousands of young kids grew up playing rock and roll in a friends basement or garage. Out of all those bands we got bands like The Verve, Oasis, Radiohead and so many others. I wish someone would have told me this era would end in the early 2000's. What an amazing time to be growing up.

    Was only a 16-year-old at the time and while being a massive Oasis fan didn't quite get The Verve, apart from their most famous, catchy pop singles at the time. Thank God I tried out A Storm in Heaven and Northern Soul a few years later!! Gutted to have missed them as a live band when I didn't appreciate them. Thank the Lord for UA-cam, this is just awesome, as well as many other gigs from earlier on in the 90's that are on UA-cam. Groove, lyrics, melody, guitar sounds, and humanity. Up there as one of the best English groups ever musically. Fucking love it!

Fast forward to me when I'm like 21 or 22. I discover the verve. Through Marley and me of all things lol. Just ended up watching that with my girlfriend at the time thankfully. As for being gutted that I know there is basically zero chance I will ever see them live in person . God I couldn't agree more man.

      First album I was turned on to was A Storm in Heaven in my teen years early mid 90s. The Verve was set apart to me. I felt that they had harnessed psychedelic rock for our generation as pinkfloyd did I. The 70's. Soooo many trips with friends and the Verve playing as the soundtrack.
