The Man Who Rocked My World

My FAVORITE british guitarist Nick McCabe has come back from the dead!!!

Or out hiding into the sun light some would say as he now has a myspace page!

For those of you who don't know who he is, he is the ethereal genius guitarist of a little known band called the Verve.

The Verve became very famous and popular in Europe throughout the 1990's, however their American following remained puzzling small.

Nonetheless he was the principal songwriter behind the songs off the band's first two albums, A Northern Soul, and the widely acclaimed A Storm In Heaven, the album that was the most important and influential album to come out of England in the 1990's.

His genius ranks up there with the dazzling brilliance among the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and other notables. And fortunately, this genius has been blessed with a longevity that surpasses the "Club of 27" life span.

Check out his myspace page and listen to the some of the spell-binding sonic soundscapes he has available for preview up there.

Tell him Vega from Vegalifestyle sent you.

P.S. You can buy the Verve's albums on Amazon or any record store near you.
P.P.S. The Verve disbanded shortly after the release of their Urban Hymns album which was more of Richard Ashcroft's album than it was Nick's and also debuted the hit single Bittersweet Symphony. The Verve have since reunited in the past few months and are going to go play a few shows later this November in the UK.
