Bit lost here. In The Verve song there is nothing other than that loop.
Wasn’t it originally from a classical piece anyway, like The Farm’s All Together Now?

Myth my arse, total rip off.No. It's from the Stones The Last Time, used and sped up as an orchestral piece, that then got nicked by Richard.
Myth, and also denied by the man himself (presuming you are referring to Satisfaction).

Who didn’t?He didnt even write it

Mick & Keith are giving the royalties & future payments back to Richard Ashcroft
The Rolling Stones have given Richard Ashcroft back 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' royalties
Fuck knars how much that’s worth, but it’ll be a canny chunk of change. Be like winning the lottery for Ashcroft.
I read it as they were giving it all backI think 95% of the money from that song has already been made, and the Stones pocketed it. Its just the money from today onwards he's getting, yes?
Yeah, it seems to imply that, but doesn't actually say it - which I read as "ok, its yours now. NOW, not then".I read it as they were giving it all back

Have the stones only just had their own copyrights returned to them or summit?
