I absolutely love this guy, he is beyond talented and never gets the credit he deserves. His acoustic album last month is incredible and NME gave it 3/5, fk off man, they’re some of the greatest songs ever written. What does some snotty public school graduate know about proper music? It winds me up. The guy is a true British music icon.

It's criminal that he made the best album of the year and barely gets any recognition (especially outside of the UK) and the same goes for 2016!

He hasn't though has he. The lyrics are junior level and the songs are pedestrian at best. Hearing his songs puts in the mood to do the washing up.

Why does everyone keep saying his ego is too big..? I just see a very analytical and cool man...

Bittersweet Symphony and Lucky Man are timeless tunes and my favourite songs 😉

Okay

Love Richard Ashcroft! I am in USA & being in Verve Facebook groups...I feel RA is much more well known & famous here in America than people realize! There are thousands of us over here! ❤✌

Why this doesn't have a mill views and loads of likes just speaks to how bizarre the modern audience is. They truly dont understand what REAL TALENT is. Right here, ladies and gentlemen. This man is truly a living legend. One of the last great British songwriters. He has transcended time and space and just continues to act from his heart. And that is what makes his art GREAT. Show respect, everyone to this man right here! Don't make em like this anymore.

You are absolutely correct. If the Talking Heads, REM or Bob Dylan were a new band today, their albums would be DOA. The music business is now about identity politics more than the music. People are sheep when it comes to music. 90% would rather listen to Lizzo than RA. I feel bad for those people.

Honest and not playing to the camera. True rock legend

I love this guy...

I Love Richard, since the Beginning with the Verve. He is a real Genius Musician, Songwriter and a true to heart Man. An amazing Person! Forever and You know it...🙏

Love this guy! Whether he's speaking or singing I love hearing from him. He gets it!

I used to love the guy Richard Ashcroft but now I love him much more 43:37 what a brilliant mind .

Hes a true to heart guy. Cant fault a pure genius

I love Richard so much followed him for ever, and excited about going to the Kentish Town Forum tonight to see him in concert. What a great interview he is such an honest guy.

He's just so lovely and so real and honest he's the man

That's an amazing fella right there. My dude!

I love that Richard is still wearing wallabies (shoes) like me. I've worn them since I was a kid. Love Mr Ashcroft. Beautiful man. Cheers from USA . Love Robin

LIVING LEGEND😎

Truly godlike

Legend ❤️

Fantastic interview. Richard is a terrific speaker. Expresses himself quite well.

This guy should do stand up

His albums grow with time. Listen to his old albums. Make sense now

richard ashcroft would give his right arm for charity. great bloke. 'judas' is me fave

@4:32 Richard has inside knowledge of this. The world needs more mainstream breaking stuff like "Love is Noise" (I'm being sarcastic). Total rebel.

Absolutely true: music industry has been in wrong hands for too long these days 24:13 AND they just think about Money and not quality .

3:08 Richard is so right , those of us in uk schools in the 80s / early nineties ....it was all a big joke - we literally had just adults standing in our classrooms just to mind us for each hours subjects - there was no education going on at all. It was complete chaos if it was a state run school - and from what i learn many of the private schools were not that great either. We had unqualified people just brought in off the streets and to pretend to be teachers - i seen through it all and just didn't turn up to school , i literally spent my entire school years in our city library or park

Can someone please explain what he means when he is talking about other band members saying one thing but he really knows the truth and what happend. Does he mean the reason for the band splitting up and personal issues within the band or something sinister?

Ask Ian Brown - He supported them in 2008, and mentioned Richard had his own dressing room and the rest of the band were squeezed into another. Says it all really.

I love the Verve and I love Ashcroft but his ego is off the charts. You can see why being in a band with him no matter how successful must have been a pain in the arse.

Richard, you're from Orrell. A solidly middle class, semi-rural area. It's frankly laughable that you constantly make out you're from a deprived background.

I don't think Rich is as funny as he should be is he sadly

You guys going on like this guy is a genius but the guy sounds like he'd struggle to count to 3

There are better singers out there, but there's something very authentic and real in his voice, and if you listen to the lyrics in albums like Human Conditions, he goes a lot deeper than many musicians. I'm like a fish with legs, I fell from the tree I made a rocket (check the meaning), I made a wheel I made a rocket (check the feeling), I swam the ocean (check the meaning) I saw the moon (say a prayer), I seen the universe (and beyond) I see you (check the feeling), I see me (check the meaning) That's my reality And while the city sleeps we go walking
