Did The Verve steal their hit song "Bitter Sweet Symphony"?

[TankvsNelmark]

Huge 90s rap fan but I still smoke to this song once in a while

 

[Henry Swanson]

nah it was one of their songs arranged by andrew loog oldham

Thanks man.

I never liked that song. It was like oasis without a punch

Earlier Verve certainly wasn't lacking in punch, McCabe in full flow beats any orchestra for me...

I thought they actually got permission from the stones to use that melody but the stones had actually taken it from some composer and then he stepped in and scooped the royalties from the verve?

I heard that too. In fact I heard they wrote the song for The Verve.
