Richard Ashcroft | FULL Interview | Gordon Smart Interview | Radio X

[@Geo_Babe]

Oh, Richard. The most underrated of British songwriters. He's truly the last greatest. x

[@leetennant9559]

Ashcroft is deep as fuck. Imagine Ashcroft around a kitchen table at 4:30am. Convo #legend

[@VinylSpotlight77]

I agree, his solo stuff is great and his stage presentation is unreal, but with the verve their up their eye to eye with legends.

[@pardisazizi7703]

Richard ❤❤❤❤❤ I can listen to this man talking all day

[@lancelotdulacful]

Wish he would've talked about the Forth the last Verve record, because THAT is a masterpiece.

[@banehardly5396]

I want McCabe to pull Ashcroft's head out of the clouds and put their differences aside. They are much better together than they are apart. Thats a fact. Just listen to the first two Verve albums when they wrote as a band.....its unmatched.

[@neilyardley3892]

All the verve albums are unique and excellent in every way The influences of the artists involved are relevant of coarse. Richard is now solo and is recognised for that and has his own sound which is just as much appreciated by many. Of coarse everyone who has followed him over the years misses the collaboration of Mcabe and co... nothing can be taken away from them. I would love to see the Verve revisit our world again Richard is doing exactly what he is supposed to do Waiting for his gig In Dublin next year

[@deependofshallow]

It gets so tiresome, the McCabe thing. The fact is that its done.... Ashcroft is a well established solo artist and McCabe well..... Why not just appreciate them as individuals and let it go

[@denbrodie2826]

is also tiresome hearing RA churn out the same old stuff..that's the tragedy just knowing

[@deependofshallow]

except he isnt churning out the same old stuff

[@banehardly5396]

He really is, I don't know what you're hearing.

[@rxing11]

Brilliant. Such a genius. So thankful to have been lucky enough to witness his talent in person

[@mungofinalfi4480]

I think this is the first time I hear him speak. I wasn't expecting him to have a voice as dark as his is.

[@gk51171]

He is a real genius... I am totally fascinated by his voice and how he is expressing his thoughts

[@ashdez1173]

That was deep Ashcroft, beautiful mind and heart u have, all love

[@sallyfletcher8874]

I could literally listen to him sing, or talk all day long x

[@blancamatamoros]

Me encanta ❤️ tiene una voz maravillosa.

[@harryscarry6064]

‘ a direct link to a feeling. That’s what a great song is’

[@taniabergau4112]

I love you Richard❤🇨🇦

[@jamesmcphillips6288]

Such a fantastic songwriter and musician 👍🎸

[@taniabergau5215]

Like all your interviews!

[@philangotti7332]

Great artist. Cool guy.

[@rainbowrose9299]

God bless you

[@lofo7703]

Richard Ashcroft and Liam Gallagher, so glad they both came back around the same time. Richards last album was decent, this new tune is even better!! Excited for the album. I feel like Liams next album will be class too.

[@leonam7230]

Living legend

Thank you always #RadioX

The greatest service you can do to mankind is find yourself

[@jimmythemadostrich8947]

I went away to find myself about ten years ago. Got f*cking lost!

[@daisybaker8528]

@@jimmythemadostrich8947 lol

[@Visualizemyfuture]

He is a great frontman and singer and wrote many classics , but he made the best music of his life with the verve and it's a shame that he can't get rid of his ego and accept that and talk with mccabe and jones again

[@thegoodsgone1965]

I'm completely happy with his solo stuff personally. Some people might not get it but I love it.

[@BOboO-us5tu]

He talks himself down doesn't he? Legend.

[@mightyabhijeet2510]

My hero ♥️

[@roamlikekane]

In confined boxes, reminded me of the lyric, 'in quiet desperation is the English way'.

[@bush696]

a natural rebel with a team of songwriters

[@waynefraser6808]

Richard and ian Brown pure legends ♥️🔥☀️

[@annamaj2943]

Un grandissimo spero esca presto il nuovo album successore del bellissimo Natural Reble

[@rossfraser3415]

hold onto this man

[@Sleepflowrr]

What happens in the other part of the world might be important sometimes or sure music can makes us feel better at least

[@joanwilkins8795]

Richard is totally relevant today. All his music is played in our house most days. He's in my head while I get through all this COVID Sham doing yoga. Keeps me strong and focused on my truth. Can't give anyone on this earth more praise than him. ❤️❤️❤️

[@symmie666]

King

[@jimmythemadostrich8947]

Still with the f✳✳✳ing sunglasses indoors!!!

[@streetdaniel2010]

Howard marks or Richard Ashcroft?

[@TheGmcFilms]

It was the Rolling Stones funnily enough that made the enormo domes and stadiums cut them a piece of the concession stands around the perimitter making the band personally VERY rich. That was the late nineties ...G...

[@TheYtube01]

Good interview, the end part is spot on about these new musicians who go political cos they cant bring you what there supposed to through their music

[@sallyfletcher8874]

Richard don't forget Oasis were backing you, back in 93 at the mill in Preston, n rightly so! X

[@adrianz5872]

The music was never the same after the 'Kate' thing, Spiritualized rose and got better and better, devil and the crossroads.

[@kiely4561]

good to see him back with his urban hymns barnet

[@ilonasaschakadickadic9559]

RICHARD ASHCROFT IS A VERY WELL SINGER (MIT DEM GEWISSEN ETWAS)!!!

[@jamessilgram3894]

He's a proper social rebel

[@AVALON-LIFE-PHOENIXde]

Very very great artist and song singer...I love the music really!!!! And I wanna see him with LONG HAIRS! I can imagine womans too!!!!

[@BSHoward8]

Richard mate, the fans want The Verve back together. That's it! They want you and McCabe playing together again.

[@deependofshallow]

No, some of them really don't

[@BSHoward8]

Oh Alison, you'll be first in line if/when they announce a reunion gig. Stop kidding yourself.

[@deependofshallow]

I didn’t for forth and I wouldn’t for another album. I tend not to be stuck in 1997

[@denbrodie2826]

Richard seems to be.he keeps trying to write the same song

[@biggredd158]

Johnny Lightning...I call Him....Bigg Readdy 4 U! We will meet when the Cat jumps through the 9!

[@69birdboy]

This is spinal tap turned to 11

[@andrewhyde4708]

I admire the guy’s confidence but let’s face it, barring a few gems, the majority of his solo stuff is very middle of the road. The Verve were truly great and had potential for so much more…

[@harleyquinn5826]

misunderstood artists... just thinking about how Bach in his lifetime was never appreciated but centuries later he is recognized for the great composer he was

[@denbrodie2826]

SO Bizarre RA asking for a calibre of guitarist who he actually had..

[@rossfraser3415]

ye hes talikg bollocks ,,,,, he has nothing to say,,,,,,,,, he's the only one saying it , speaking the truth,,,,,,,,always has ,,,,, the last musical god left

[@frankmuller596]

im like a fish with legs,think outside the box folks too many plastic people in this world.

[@modernchampions8618]

I'm amazed by this guy's confidence whiles he releasing drivel like surprised by the joy..good interview ..but he's not backing it up with the music..you don't own me..but not that new single..it doesn't fit

[@denbrodie2826]

so true..as I life long verve Ashcroft follower I agree MC

[@rODIUMuk]

Does this guy eat food or what?

[@gangsternews4815]

why do you write that?

[@adamdewick1572]

Haha cos hes skinny

[@thelukos]

He’s written some great stuff since the verve and guess what, he wrote there tunes too!

[@lachlanmacarthur8992]

rODIUM some People are skinny and can't do anything about it.

[@alexiswaller3065]

@@lachlanmacarthur8992 very true I have a cousin who can eat anything and never gains a single stone

[@jamiewilliams685]

I just wish Richard would show some humility.

[@sratus]

Bit too late for that I think, it's like he's on a different planet, Planet Richard

[@denbrodie2826]

Ashcroft once said to mccabe on tour " I am starring n my own movie"

[@sratus]

den brodie Doesn't surprise me

[@davebrown8227]

looking and sounding exactly like an 80's Cliff Richard ,shame

[@Maccabee444]

Natural drivel

[@KussePikken666]

Stop talking. play.

[@SweetT79]

The Day he stops playing Verve songs the day he'll be reconised but he's lving off of it since going solo

[@chrisayres8460]

he wrote those songs. why wouldnt he play them?

[@maxmeier532]

actually he has quite some good songs of his own, especially from his early solo albums. Song for the lovers, words just get in the way, music is power, break the night with color...

[@thomuk2006]

New album is sooooooooooooooo boring!

[@m.s.t3616]

singers shouldn't spout politics, says man who covered Lennon in 2021

[@blahblah5750]

Haha using big words thinking he’s some kind of intellectual.

[@bennyhillschineseblokechar3689]

I liKE ole Richie , but he needs to A: stop wearing f✴✴✴ing sunglasses indoors , and B: stop doing interviews , for some reason he always sounds a bit pretentious.

[@sallyfletcher8874]

I think that's what the interviewers want , n expect though 🤔 He has a lot to say, that reaches out to us at this point in time .It's all open to our interpretation
