	The Verve Info ..:::: NICK McCABE ::::..
		Nick McCabe was the youngest of three children and had a life greatly influenced by music, He lead a normal life training to be a Quantity surveyor until he met Richard Ashcroft at Winstanley college near Wigan.
		McCabe then united with Ashcroft along with Simon Jones and Peter Salisbury to form the Verve.
		Musically Nick has always expressed his fondness of synthesizers and explained his 'psychadelic' sound as trying to make a guitar sound like a synthesizer by using effects pedals and Valve Amps.

	The Verve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although they enjoyed their greatest success while the Britpop movement was at its height, they aren't considered such an act at all and their rise to success did not happen overnight - the band released LPs that were critically acclaimed and highly regarded, yet worldwide commercial success eluded them for most of their career.
		Things got worse when Nick McCabe suddenly pulled from the tour and decided he couldn't tolerate the constant life on the road any longer (some speculate that the incident with Jones and McCabe's relationship with Ashcroft were the reasons).
		Nick McCabe has mostly remained quiet after the breakup, although he has recently worked with a few artists, notably John Martin and Leeds based band, The Music.

		With little fanfare, McCabe through his work with the band, became one of the most unique and innovative guitarists of the last twenty years, having the unique ability to be experimental while still being musical (something even Hendrix didn't always do).
		Thus McCabe, the man truly behind the Verve, was forced to basically add to the songs Ashcroft created, and thus his contributions are minimal.
		McCabe tries his best to be innovative like he had previously, but there's only so much he could do.

		At the height of their fame in 1997, The Verve were considered one of the finest bands from the UK and were one of the most popular groups worldwide before they abruptly called it quits in 1998.
		The sessions started off well, McCabe even called the first three weeks of recording the happiest in his life; unfortunately, the massive intake of Ecstasy and the strained relationship between Ashcroft and McCabe during the sessions took its toll on the band.
		Nick McCabe has mostly remained quiet after the breakup, although he has recently worked with a few artists, notably John Martyn and Leeds-based band The Music.

		THE VERVE's future is in doubt after last week's announcement that NICK McCABE (pictured) will not be playing live in the UK with the group at their V98 and Slane Castle gigs in August (See earlier story).
		It read: "Nick McCabe, lead guitarist with The Verve, will not be touring with the band for the rest of this year.
		However, tensions between the party-loving Ashcroft and the quiet McCabe were rising and the band fell apart after a ragged T In The Park performance in August 1995.

	Nick McCabe - Interview
		He's amazing!' He is Nick McCabe, and for all the column inches devoted to Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft, the quiet guitarist is arguably the true architect of The Verve's unique sound.
		Listen, in particular, to McCabe's control of feedback (created when an amp is turned up high and the player stands close by, with the guitar parallel to the amp's speaker), and how he makes the guitar wail while barely picking the strings.
		By now, McCabe was playing more and more slide guitar, placing the 'bottleneck' on his little finger: guitar players note that McCabe frets the strings using all four left-hand fingers, an approach more often associated with classically-schooled guitarists (though McCabe is certainly not formally trained at all!), and requires considerable dexterity.

		There are recognizable elements: drum loops, the drone of a sitar, the fuzzed out guitar of Nick McCabe, the moaning vocals of Jarboe, etc. It's a different feel than some electronica.
		Jarboe and McCabe are credited with their parts as if they recorded them specifically for this release.
		McCabe's guitar ebbs and flows under intense distortion and manipulation from Malen.

	slant // magazine forums - The Verve's Nick McCabe
		I need to back track though and say discipline and structure are a healthy mix to experimentalism, sometimes; but looking back I think in the case of McCabe it would have been better had "structure" simply meant capping 20 minute jams into 5 minute durations with an intro and outro as that discipline.
		I always get a charge out of reading interviews from blue collar boys from Wigan because even though they are like you and me, their music "ideal" was different then the masses early on.
		Some thought McCabe's 'ethereal' style betrayed the influenced of '80s indie legends The Cocteau Twins and early '90s shoegazing kingpins My Bloody Valentine, even the prog-rock-ish textures of Pink Floyd's veteran guitarist David Gilmour.

		Nick Mccabe brings in the brilliant use of his guitar to full effect, with delay and reverb in tow.
		Also the brilliant use of the id section where a funnel of feedback is sed to introduce the end, it just shows how experiemtnal this band was in their make- up.
		It was the time (alongside more difficult collaborations with John Leckie in "A Storm in Heaven" and nervous breakdowns in the recording studio in "A Northern Soul") in which Nick McCabe was guiding the creative process.

	Verve - A Storm In Heaven - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
		The guitars of Nick McCabe sounding like wind, like trains, like satellites, like fucked-up television sets, like anything but guitars; a pulsing, reverb-saturated body of noise that he shook, stroked, kissed and beat out of an instrument that in the hands of so many others is rendered so inane and so predictable.
		Simon Jones and Pete Salisbury laid down grooves that were at one moment fluid and ethereal, at the next fearsome and insistent, guy-ropes tethering McCabe’s freeform inspiration to a rhythmic basis that was as close to structure as Verve could get.
		McCabe couldn’t and wouldn’t play anything twice, Jones and Salisbury cared not for anything outside of the groove, and Ashcroft was still too young, too wild and too free to have slipped into the turgid, earnest singer-songwriter trap of his later career.

		It was always special but to go in without Nick and record and the realise that this whole spectrum was missing...
		When Nick is in the room and we are all together it is a whole new dimension; it is something when he is not in the room, it is something we can't touch.
		You just can't explain the feeling of knowing that someone's soul is going to touch that piece of music at that point in just the right way, better than you could ever imagine and compliment the words and melody and the song so well.

		McCabe: Trouble is that people in the business will tell you — because it's such a gray area — "Umm, it's really tricky" They just need to create an excuse for why they cannot do it.
		McCabe: They came out of forty-minute jams but because you've got this restriction of a single that you'd like to get to chart, the whole thing has to be no more then twenty-five minutes or something like that.
		McCabe: [For Complicities], we thought we were going to do a lot more music on it, but it's been scored already by some proper Hollywood orchestra.

		Ashcroft, Jones, Salisbury and guitarist Nick McCabe were still in their teens — schoolmates with a fondness for psychedelics and with precocious record collections heavy on the Beatles, Funkadelic and Seventies German avant-rock — when they made their debut, at a friend's birthday party in a Wigan pub in August 1991.
		Nick McCabe's decision no to talk for this story ("He won't talk to anybody — don't take it personally," says Jazz Summers) leaves one with the impression of a brilliant guitarist with a fragile, reclusive personality.
		Since rejoining the Verve in early '97, McCabe — who was born in St. Helen's, near Wigan, and who was a year ahead of Ashcroft and Jones at Winstanley — has kept his distance from the music industry at large.

		I have tried to assemble as much information as I can past and present...trivial and not so!, for anyone who already is informed about Nick, and just likes to indulge in anything McCabe or anyone who would just like to be more informed about him.
