I don’t care what issues they have between each other, Ashcroft can’t deny how much McCabe brings to the table. This is incredible, atmospheric and unique. I Love both in their own rights, but you have to appreciate their musical chemistry. It’s majestic, they shouldn’t be trying to erase each other. All members of this band gel so well, each playing a pivotal role. Can’t forget the amazing rhythm section of Jones and Salisbury, just gorgeous grooves throughout. It’s a shame they couldn’t keep their differences aside because when together, they light the room up. Euphoric Stuff.

Yes McCabe is simply a master of atmospheric guitar. I think we can safely call him a genius of the craft. I've never seen this footage before--man this is astoundingly good!

Are you saying that when the world/ the West was mainly populated by white, (Christian), Europeans, it was a better place to live in terms of culture/ music..? Cultures should never mix or cross over for fear of "contamination" from influences that are non- European? Colonization is ok, but God forbid they should ever express themselves to an " unassuming" western/European world..?When you mention multiculturalism, are you also referencing religion too? Without those influences, artists such as Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling stones, David Bowie, The sex pistols, The Stone Roses, Nirvana, The Verve, etc, etc, just simply would not exist... I'm not up to scratch on my classical composers, but I dear say their influence will always remain no matter how much time passes, in whatever format that presents itself as they are some of the basics most people around the, (Western), world gain their musicianship/musical knowledge...

Were they really considered Shoegaze? I mean, I didn’t know they were really in that mix being from America. Being a fan of my bloody valentine, lush and ride in the early to mid 90s I can clearly see it and hear it but I only knew bittersweet sympathy until like two weeks ago. I’m a serious crate digger it’s just that I didn’t look deep into their catalog of being as though I’m in so many different styles of music and got to cover American hip-hop rhythm and blues British rock and everything else I just overlooked the verve and had no idea that biggest album in America from what I’m hearing now is far from their best. The first two albums have completely completely completely blown me away this week and I’m starting to believe that they did blow Smashing Pumpkins off the stage when they toured with them in 1993 😮.

A very different Verve to the Urban Hymns era, and much better, in my opinion. The noise that just one guitarist can make here is incredible. The 3-chord ballad stuff was where Ashcroft wanted to go and it didn't sit very well with the others, particularly Nick McCabe, and was a contributing factor to their numerous splits.

Had they continued like this, then they would be massive, I gave up on them when they went to the ballad stuff.

I can be pretty confident of my memory because I didn't really drink or take drugs back then; my first experience of The Verve was Lollapalooza in the summer of 1994 in Barrie, ON, Canada. The weather was dreary: cloudy, humid, hot, rainy, etc... The Verve took to the second stage and seemingly sonically blasted the clouds away with Slide Away. Splits in the clouds appeared and the sun rays burst through. It was an angelic, otherworldly experience. I was hooked forever. The 90's ruled.
