Title: The Verve to reform Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, June 26, 2007, 23:04:41 anyone else heard about this? apprantly they are recording a new album and touring in November. Not sure when the album will be out but im guessing at the end of this year sometime.
i like the Verve and i think it's great they are coming back. wondered what everyone elses thoughts were? Title: The Verve to reform Post by: axs on Tuesday, June 26, 2007, 23:06:51 i fucking hate that ashcroft, i wish the drugs did work, then i could space out and forget about him.
most over-rated band of the last 10 years. Title: The Verve to reform Post by: kaufman on Tuesday, June 26, 2007, 23:27:35 early verve stuff is quality, apart from 2 or 3 tracks which are timeless on urban hyms, the album has not dated well at all.
Title: The Verve to reform Post by: STFC Village on Tuesday, June 26, 2007, 23:29:40 Love the Verve, Northern Soul & Urban Hymns are classics. I'll definately be trying for tickets
Title: The Verve to reform Post by: axs on Tuesday, June 26, 2007, 23:29:44 i never liked it, although everyone raved about it, i don't know why, it just never sounded good to me and ashcrofts voice always irritated me.

I like the Verve too and some of Richard Ashcrofts solo stuff is pretty good too (Check the meaning etc.) I'd defo go and see them if they were touring.

Title: The Verve to reform Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 09:29:40 Didnt Mr Ashcroft go a bit loopy in Chippenham recently? burst into a youth club or something??
I think he was staying in that massive house by the bridge centre roundabout?

I think he was staying in that massive house by the bridge centre roundabout? His wife's parents live in the chippenham area, he was bladdered and wandered in to the youth centre at the bridge. Apparently he wanted to do some work with kids :shock: When he was removed by the police he gave a rendition of some of his best known numbers to the coppers who were driving him to melksham police hq, apparently this didn't help as they'd never heard of him. And he left his hat behind.

Bittersweet Synphony is a classic! Title: The Verve to reform Post by: axs on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 10:34:47 drone drone drone, just don't like them, and yes i know everyone else does.

That's Ok it's like me and the chilli peppers, cannot stand them or their music. It's the beauty of everyone having an opinion.

Title: The Verve to reform Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 13:32:32 the verve were a good band imo,some of ashcrofts own stuff has been decent too
Title: The Verve to reform Post by: Red81 on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 18:03:48 The Verve were the best 'Indie' band of the nineties imo.
A Storm In Heaven is fantastic... one of my favourites from my indie boy days. A Northern Soul is also fantastic although very dark and at times a tad depressing. Urban Hymns was a good record but pointed towards a more mainstream audience and never really grabbed me in the same way. But a comeback is not a good thing. The Northern swagger mid nineties bullshit don't wash with me no more. Take note Liam Gallagher. Seems pathetic now, how I used to idolise these fuckwits. Title: The Verve to reform Post by: Red81 on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 18:14:38 I'd still go watch them though :mrgreen:
Title: The Verve to reform Post by: Sussex on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 18:18:07 Love 'em. Favourite track - History.
Will be trying for tickets at London Roundhouse on 8/9 November when they go on sale next week.
