The Verve - Love Is Noise (Glastonbury 2008)

What an amazing performance!

[@TheMel1963]

Lost my son 4yrs ago this week. He was there & this is so special to me. Love you Ryan xx Love is pain xxxxxxxxxxxx

[@glennparry8777]

god bless matey fullest condolences let your son rest in peace

[@TheHazMat293]

Richard Ashcroft you fkn legend!

[@paolo-n2000]

Nick McCabe you fkn legend!

[@MadForItLFC]

I know this may be controversial... but I rate this as my favourite Verve song, In fact I rate it as one of my top 5 songs of all time.

[@PaulbutDr.Guitarist]

Agreed!

[@Legowelshy]

not controversial:) your opinion:), the verve produced so many great songs

[@sashashem1708]

I agree with you 100%

[@light106year6]

MadForItLFC what's your definition of controversy child?

[@davidarmstrong1666]

It's a great tune, the album wasn't the best but then following up the previous 3 especially after such a gap was always going to be difficult. However I strongly recommend Blue Pacific Ocean from the Forth sessions, it's on You Tube somewhere

[@TheMel1963]

Love them for having the balls to finale with a new tune....priceless

[@trancehi]

This is what Glastonbury is all about. Absolutely brilliant performance.

[@HatTheFatCat]

greatest live guitar performance in recent Glasto memory... I could get lost in mcCabe's dreamy lines and feedback loops... almost like shoegaze

[@1994MX-6]

Great song ... but that's a bad take.

[@pauljordan4452]

Dreamy lines, that's a good description of them.

[@94toxic94]

why can't people listen to songs like this these days... miss these songs so much

[@TheIddyS]

THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE

[@benyoung4305]

on form! Ashcroft is one of Britain's best and most unsung rock Hero's. a genius beyond his time!!

[@FolkinAround]

Probably my favourite Glastonbury song. The fact that it was a new single at the time makes even more rock 'n roll. Love it.

[@charliechaz1982]

This band are obsurdly talented. Amazing.

[@FIshfood500]

*absurdly

[@MrTosetti]

Immortal masterpiece.

[@FIshfood500]

True

[@MrMed7wal]

The transition between bittersweet symphony and love is noise is maybe the best in music history.

[@roligoberto]

Siiiiiii

[@matt62182]

wow...just wow. i get a tingle that runs through my body everytime i watch this

[@FolkinAround]

There are many contenders but for me this is pure unadulterated unpretentious rock n roll adding to the fact the it’s a new song makes this the best Glastonbury performance or the epitome of Glastonbury. The delivery of it, the crowd’s reaction, the way the band feeds off of it: sheer artistry.

[@FIshfood500]

Good comment mate

[@snoopy77uk]

sitting on my balcony, evening sun on my face, aviator sunglasses on (that belonged to my other half of 11yrs, who passed away 3 weeks & 2 days ago)... MOOD music #LoveIsNoise #LoveIsPain #LoveIsTheseBluesThatImSingingAgain #MusicIsPower ✌ THANK YOU RA

[@karlwhite8769]

this decade is screeming for another verve reunion

[@spud74]

That would be marvellous, but about three years ago, just before I ditched Facebook, I spoke to Nick McCabe about the possibility and he said Ashcroft wouldn’t even reply to any of his messages, no matter how many times he reached out to him. According to Nick and Pete it’s something they would love to do. Not sure on Si like

[@paolo-n2000]

OMG!!! 2020 needs the VERVE like never before! Seriously!!!

[@adamwalkeraw]

Not to rub it in but I was there , still the only Glastonbury I've been too. It was a lifetime moment being there, it was the first time I herd that song and everytime I hear it it brings me back. Amazing.

[@cwbellor]

I'm a huge Oasis fan, seen them live, have all the albums. But The Verve are like Oasis minus the bullshit, minus the Beatles posturing, with 10x the soul. It's a shame Oasis have 7 albums and Verve only have 4.

[@ewanleaper1493]

I don't think they're anything alike, McCabe is adventurous as all hell and a fairly unique guitar player who doesn't tend to play all that many chords or solos yet manages to be a virtuoso with it, Jones' basslines sound like he's listened to a lot funk and hip hop and they don't tend to play the same show twice. Oasis is all chords, solos, does what it says on the tin, people mistake them as the same because Ashcroft is friendly with them and The Verve had a couple of singles that got them bandied into Britpop but that does them a major disservice, they're on a whole different level to that scene, McCabe is a genius.

[@katherynemero4118]

Why would you insult the Verve like that? Oasis is a terrible band.

[@jimmynorman87]

I watched this live on TV and was godsmacked by it. Never heard the song before and its still one of my favourite performances by any band. Class

[@MrBowww1]

best 10 minutes i've ever spent watching a youtube video.

[@JorgeLFC7]

Fuckin' magnificent, such a great frontman.

[@stuartcarruthers3505]

True music, the best Glastonbury finish ever

[@johnsellars246]

stuart carruthers...absolutely fuking mega..yes best glastonbury performance ever....if pos, book them again....

[@lukej7758]

I've had the Verve's greatest hits for awhile now, just started getting into them more recently. Got Fourth and put it on for the first time, when this song came up I almost lost it. I knew I was hearing one of my favorite songs before I even finished it

[@sbondarenko7280]

The Verve and Richard Ashcroft are one of the best live bands the UK has ever produced!!!

[@bruceaisher]

Fucking amazing performance and track - wish I was there but I remember watching it live on TV and going fucking mental even though it was the first time I had heard this this track.

[@larchbank]

goosebumps all over my body evertime i here this version, its just fucking sensational god bless the verve.

[@lucabonvicini5426]

best band of last 25 years

[@rosemartini2312]

OMFG!!!!! Have I been living under the rock???? This is effingly amazing!!!! and what a crowd!

[@ruka9986]

phenomenal

[@barryedwards8988]

Not many bands have the balls to finish a headline set at glastonbury with a song nobody had heard yet.

[@DharmaaRS]

To be fair its the verve and even if it wasnt the verve, the song is fucking epic, the fact its the verve outro song makes it 100 times better :P

[@bertreynolds5469]

It had been played to death on the radio for two weeks prior to this performance, so was hardly 'unheard'.

[@barryedwards8988]

Bert Reynolds Zane Lowe was the first to debut the song a few nights before Glastonbury but it would be a while yet before the song was a regular on most radio playlists.So whilst not unheard it was still relatively unknown and not the kind of song you usually hear bands ending a Glastonbury set with.

[@bertreynolds5469]

It was played repeatedly on XFM that week, and the youtube of it all over facebook. I get your point, but it really wasn't hard to find.

[@vnkman4391]

spot on. amazing performance and the crowd totally take to it. hairs on the back of neck

[@marisabelka3630]

This is soundtrack of my life... That is how i feel this song and especially this perfomance!!!

[@jamesbentall3984]

A very very underrated band... very few can sing better live than recorded . But he is one of them.. legend ....

[@MegaTrainspotter]

The greatest performance at glasto for sure..........

[@chriscrouch7576]

Just simply stunning way to end Glastonbury 08

[@stuross74]

This is the performance you only occasionally get from bands that can truly play.....it's beyond just sounding good, for me it comes from the connection they create with the crowd and how they move people , musically ,lyrically and in performance

[@adians29]

love how guitarist nick mccabe just gets on with it! One of the best guitarists ever imo and no fucking around or showboating

[@iamaweasel]

Ashcroft here takes ‘attitude’ to a level that Liam Gallagher can only dream of: a tour de bloody force!

[@elliemowat3662]

This is my all time favourite song literally could and have listened to this over and over again and still can’t get enough of it

[@kiaganga]

the true second coming !!!we'v been blessed .

[@Planet_Trash]

It´s the third day in a row on repeat now. Addicted to this song and the whole performance:-)

[@martinq8740]

The best of the history The Verve and Queen for me, British rock is the best, come back years 90 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dido84]

British rock definitely is best than any other country...

[@guitaristssuck8979]

USA begs to differ... after all it all comes from Delta blues

Great Britain, such a small island, yet it produces the best bands in the world. Needless to say their sitcoms and humor are also the best in their language. Admirable.

The Verve were unquestionably one of the finest live acts of their generation.

[@sean8102]

I'm so sad I'll probably never get to see them live in person. If only they could have stopped the drama and breakups.

[@Vallebuoy]

This for me is one of the seminal outro's on the pyramid stage. Absolutely kill the whole set, and has the balls to close-out on this great track (little known at the time)..... Ashcroft's a quality rock-star..

[@gayle4105]

Simply AMAZING!

[@bradco6]

These guys get together, and despite their differences, make wonderful music that stands the test of time. Please guys, make another album.

[@Pepilotaaa]

wow!! what an amazing performance! Those who had a chance to see The Verve, palying live in Glastonbury 2008, were really very very lucky!!

[@paulhalf]

Nick McCabe, just a genius. Up there with Hendrix as an innovator.

[@seanthompson99]

That guy never gets a mention great guitarist

[@paulhalf]

A tiny number of bands are lucky enough to have one genius in them. The Verve were cursed with having two.

[@anthonycarvale]

So fucking underrated and under appreciated.

[@FIshfood500]

Would really compare him to Hendrix, but he is a genius

[@ewanleaper1493]

He wasn't comparing him directly as a guitarist, as far as innovation goes Nick McCabe is up there at the top table with Hendrix, Robert Fripp, Kevin Shields and one of his own heroes in John Martyn. Never seen a guitarist quite so happy to improvise and take risks in a live setting, took Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood until they were into their thirties to begin rivalling the sound McCabe was achieving in early Verve shows aged 20-21 and they're brilliant players. McCabe's ambient guitar textures were 20 years ahead of their time, I've yet to hear anyone top it with all the lovely pedals that are around today that make it easier to nail. As far as innovative guitarists go he's up there with the best of them, don't mistake rapid shredding for innovation.

[@sendall74]
