Richard Ashcroft interview

BBC Breakfast Time

[@MultiLizc]

His words are even more relevant today on 2022. He is a gifted writer,and musician.

[@Vittoria10538]

What a gracious man he is.

[@gavinpells4497]

Great interview. He seems like such an intelligent, down to earth guy.

[@jacobrhodes7433]

A brain the size of a planet, it's no wonder his music is remarkable, the very best of the 90's.

[@jarg8]

Jacob Rhodes And yet he denied the value of A Storm in Heaven in favor of being a mainstream singer songwriter. He's very talented, there is no doubt, but it's such a shame he lost what made the Verve special in favor of mediocre songs like "Bittersweet Symphony".

[@natechenry]

@@jarg8 mediocre and bittersweet symphony in the same sentence? Ok bud

[@harrambou9468]

@J m-m-mediocre? Wow okay I mean it ain’t a masterpiece I suppose What about the rest of Urban Hymns tho 😂

[@harleyquinn5826]

Too ugly?? I saw that music video and fell in love with him instantly! He's too sweet and genuine

[@lightnbubbly]

Of course he's philosophical. Listen to his lyrics. He is brilliant.

[@legalbeagle122]

@Derek Gleeson makes you feel big when you say pseudo, atleast his lyrics are ingenious, what have you done with your life you ignorant, unoriginal twat

[@TheReesi73]

Lennon was brilliant, he's average and so were the Verve, he's so brilliant he's made 2 shitty solo albums which flopped 🤣

[@natechenry]

@@TheReesi73 yeah except his solo work is the best he's ever done. He didn't need the verve to be a success anymore and His solo music proves that. "Life's about ego. So for someone to talk about my ego or me , as they are writing their piece about me, I'm wondering what they're doing with themselves?" Is what richard says about people like you. Grow up.

[@ollyt6724]

David Rees what have you done with your life mate?

[@DannyFennelly]

@@TheReesi73 Lennon Brilliant? Art is all about interpretation. Richard’s songwriting is outstanding and the sound the best there is. Lennon on the other hand so over rated. Was completely up his own jacksie for what in the most part were catchy pop songs with little to no substance. Most of his stuff could have been done by guys like Bieber. Lennon liked to come across as the rebel but was soon KA when the yanks were looking at kicking him out, very little integrity. As stared earlier it’s all about interpretation and each to their own.

[@bencawood]

This man is most underrated singer songwriter of our generation.

[@user-qt6uj5zp2y]

so true, ben

[@LaceyMckenna-ux5ux]

Such an intelligent, fantastic creator.

[@starofdavid9919]

Nice genuine down to earth bloke.

[@icedcoffee0962]

Wow I absolutely love him

[@garywilton246]

Of all the musicians, writers, artists that have lived, to have grown up with this man writing music, and be able to listen to it is a gift from god......

[@alexmcgowan9274]

seems like a decent bloke

[@anthonyvero9198]

Richard you are a legend love your music

[@simonvanderirwin]

Pretty rare situation in day time tv where the hosts actually let the guest speak. Good stuff.

[@rainbowrose9299]

Legend. 100% Pure Genius. I love that he doesn't buy into all that crap. God Bless You Richard 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

[@joebloggs495]

[@misterbaybers4013]

[@Edward-turtle]

clever man - love it

[@matthewbiggin9887]

The best songwriter of the Britpop era

[@M2Mil7er]

He's literally holding a mirror up to them before saying a single word. I think they might have missed that.

[@pablo527]

Yeh they were shitting it..

[@davidgoddard4992]

completely proud of richard ashcroft, always ashamed of the media and critics, they havent got a bloody clue

[@rygdoomed442]

RA always ahead of the curve

[@rodschermerhorn6996]

Good insight!

[@sctmcg]

It's almost the sacrifice of a true artist that the vices and addictions that follow and eat into them are also the trigger for the environment in which they create their greatest work

[@Riksermon123]

Brilliant bloke.....great Mind ..x

[@maurotrigo9527]

Why did I felt like the interviewers were being a bit obnoxious? He answered his questions very well

[@realfaraway]

[@davekerr673]

[@plum3238]

Yeah but it wasn’t the smartest move when he left the verve 🤨

[@harrambou9468]

@Plum intelligent can mean many things lol

[@plum3238]

No worries

[@thedarkhugheshughes2640]

Well clued in

[@blancamatamoros]

He is brilliant, Richard Ashcroft 🎶🎵💎💖😘

[@shoot_the_glass5654]

He kind of reminds me of Spider from Corrie, without the shades obviously.

[@3dulimited952]

Nice words 👍

[@t3br00k35]

Those studio lights must be bright

[@sarahhhgiovanna9636]

He have the same thing in the eyes than Bono and Ringo, I guess, They both have blue eyes, and use sunglasses. I was thinking about it.

[@TheTimitchell]

shut up

[@brownson1970]

HES A GENIUS, (not LEE MAVERS) BUT UP THERE

[@user-ij4ej7cc2i]

Such narrow-minded tv-presenters especially this woman! They put themselves in an arrogant position and don't understand that they look at the genius. Shame on you! And thank you Richard.

[@matmc71]

What do you expect from tv presenters? Interesting conversation?

[@user-qt6uj5zp2y]

well said Аревик Чахоян - that was so disgusting to see of those fools next to this genius. they couldn't even relate yet, he was still so graceful about their lack of mental agility.

[@pablo527]

They were scared of him...watch the first 10 seconds and their body language. Fully shiiting it... media muppets...

[@VinylSpotlight77]

He actually predicted covid bs

[@argo09]

omg what did he do to his hair

[@natejohnsonesqubar4201]

argo09 my guess he went the barber's

World’s Finest

[@monkeyrevolution1964]

There are no Teeth on the up side , Lol

[@hookooekoo2]

"These people are sent to test us, sent to play with our minds". Charlie Stayt, commenting on Richard's outfit in the video for 'These People': "..... a Polo-neck and a gas mask, nice, nice touch!" Richard: "Yeah I think it could be the future, yeah, who knows we might see it on the high streets soon". These things are planned well in advance. If you had advanced knowledge of events to come, ask yourself...... "How would I go about telling people"? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rouQemaQobdkqtE

[@antiochiaadtaurum3786]

The drugs don't work, but that won't stop me doing 'em. That's the message here, right?

[@leesmith5516]

God Like Genius The Verve The best british band ever! Urban Hymns The Best British Album Ever!

Gas mask is that telling us about masks on the high streets

[@apank21]

dang he b using the terminology do * (NIHILISM)

[@jseven9868]

Writing from a safe distance in a safe country in a bad suit.

[@vincoletto2]

Great musician, some amazing albuns, but his voice is gone unfortunately...

[@ladlam6398]

His voice had not gone at the IoW festival last weekend

[@mistermatix8241]

His voice has gone? Are you insane, his voice is fookin EPIC

[@Kelly-qy4yr]

you need to get your ears checked. His voice is getting BETTER as he ages.

[@leebee5361]

HE clearly loves thinking of himself as a rock star.. not that he's not, but, come on a BIG fucking ego is on display here, visually. Mind, he talks simpler than he presents his look.

[@Frekog]

​@@seanfitzgerald8575 Clearly put, he has all the love and reasons to carry himself as he does, he is openly discussing his depression and difficulties in many of his interviews - which he actually has overcome. What a man to teach us all more about his life. We all have our own Ego, this man can teach you something about it.

[@DontTestTheX]

Rambling. Wiganers cannot (and should not) attempt to engage in philosophical thought or debate.

[@hernancruz8936]

Este man tiene o debería estar entre los más grandes...!!!!
