Guitarist also reveals his latest project
Sat 13 Dec, 2008
Sounds like the Oasis Stop The Clocks LP. Good that the band could decide themselves. Hahaha, there are more Smiths compilations than actual albums, true. They even released one in their early days. ^^

Guitarist says he's committed to The Cribs

I don't mind that he doesn't want The Smiths to reform, but: The Cribs?! Why not Modest Mouse or any other good band?! Why not another Healers album, hahahaha.I fear the worst, maybe Robbie Williams perhaps? !!!!That'd be a good laugh, actually.

I'd love to see them live, but as it has been already mentioned, I don't know whether a new record would be a good idea. I am still waiting for the fifth Verve album because the last has been completely unacceptable for me.

Haha, and the song always reminded me of New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle.

Andrew Loog Oldham jokes about the 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' 'steal'
Tue 07 Oct, 2008
But the songs lyrics, the chords, the rest of the arrangement, most importantly its message and sentiment is all Verve.I definitely agree with that. I think that this message though is actually Richard Ashcroft alone. The rest of the arrangement was Chris Potter for the rest of the string arrangement and Nick McCabe for guitar.So to say "he thinks he wrote something. he didn't...get over it" is a little hypocritical when a guy who has probably never written a song in his life is joking about the royalties he has picked up for it.Well said. :DI am still grateful for Andrew Loog Oldham's orchestral version of that song and for Simon Jones for having picked up the CD in an Oxfam shop. The Last Time has got a different feeling to it and I think this is the important thing. The Stones song is as good as it is because of its great lead guitar... It is my favourite Stones song... But Bitter Sweet Symphony has got such an important message, the music and the lyrics are equally important.
