I’ll be there at the Theater at MSG on Monday night. I’ve been waiting eight years to see them live, since buying Richard Ashcroft’s first solo album in 2000. Less people in attendance means more Verve for me. Cant wait.

Got my ticket for May 1 in Toronto. If Americans are too stupid to know good music, that is not my problem. Maybe American Idol is on that night. Know “This is music.”

‘Bittersweet Symphony’ jacked the strings from ‘The Last Time’ by the Stones. They were sued and now the song is credited to Jagger/Richards. Poor Verve. And now no one wants to see them. Maybe they should’ve waited a few more years… or made a competitive new album before touring.

NME hates you and has taken you off their Blur Reunion email list. So there.

Regardless of their appeal in certain places, trying to play the Garden and bricking it guarantees you to be the butt of a joke or two. You are gonna get laughed at. I got the 50% off email from MSG/Radio City too and was cracking up. Then 5 seconds later I lost interest and said, “Hey look, Al Gore is speaking at Radio City, I always wanted to see that Powerpoint presentation.”

My point was that the promoters maybe overestimated their appeal. One night would probably have sold out no problem, but two nights is stretching it a little thin for a band that hasn’t put out an album in 11 years and was never as big here as they are/were in the UK.

Just so you know (since you clearly do not): the verve has created much more and much better songs than bittersweet. Perhaps one should not blog on a band one knows nothing about :o). Yes, there are people out there who are dying to see the verve. I know a lot of people who went to England to see them play and the tickets sold out in less than an hour. Let’s stick to what we know or do some research before we speak.
