John Moore (Jesus & Mary Chain, Revolution 9, Black Box Recorder, John Moore and the Expressway) has attacked Morrissey on his own messageboard at-http://www.halfawake.co.uk/forum/

I quote-"there is something amusing about seeing the once Charming man, now with a face like a sack of marshmallows, at heart attack age, cavorting on a stage borrowed from the Elvis 68 Comeback Special and probably wearing some kind of girdle or corset".

Get down to that messageboard and tell him whats what!!!

    Don't make yourself as sad as the ones that come here to slag Morrissey any time someone disses another artist on this board.

    Still, his main problem seems to be that Morrissey has aged. He's been around for a while, I wonder what he looks like these days.

      actually, Jesus & Mary Chain were a very big band [at least influentially] in NA in the 80's and 90's. if you havnt heard of them thats your fault, not theirs.

  • Who the fuck is John Moore anyway, I gave up looking for him after 4th page of google, so he's obviously not any one of any great importance.

    Anyone got any Revolution 9 LP's in the loft?? Nope thought not!! How about Black Box Recorder?? No, me neither. I'll look in the bargain bins more closely in my local record shop this weekend, to see if I can find anything by this half wit, not to buy, merely to have a good laugh at if i can convince the bloke behind the counter to put it on.

    The Jesus and Mary Chain (whatever he did in them), where over hyped bollocks anyway, and as they where about in mid 80's I bet Mr Moore is hardly one to comment on other peoples looks.

    The twat is obviously a commited Moz hater, who like many others is jealous of his good looks, style in abundance, a devoteed fan base worldwide 4 Top Ten singles and great record album sales for YATQ this year.

    Viva Morrissey!!!!!!!!!

  • Apparently he was the drummer in J and M Chain, but is more famous as the man who re introduced absinthe back into the UK a few years ago.

    Obviously he's been glugging to much of the green loony juice if he thinks Moz wears a corset and has a face like a bag of marshmellows.

    Keep off the absinthe you daft twat!!!

  • His statement isn't so much an "attack" as vaguely sarcastic.

    But who cares?

    As fans, we will continue to support Morrissey.
    What this man thinks means, as Costello once said, less than zero.

  • I can't believe a nobody like John Moore's criticism of Morrissey's fame would even make this forum. If Robert Smith says fighting words, at least we know who RS is and at least RS is relevant. But I'm disappointed that this zero John Moore was even acknowledged, and really surprised we've had as many replies to this less than zero worthless "news" posting. And I know I'm contributing to the replies, but just to really show displeasure at the decision to give a fuck like John Moore the time of day to make his worthless self known. I know several Morrissey dissenters, but must they all be given any message board attention? At least save it for an "Elton John" type of person who we know of.

  • I think Morrissey looks stunning, sexy and hot! As he ages he looks better and better! He is a classy man, with great taste in clothes and style! So tell that stupid grunge guy from the 80's or 90's that he should not be jealous of Sexy Morrissey! he should go crawl under a rock somewhere in seattle.. (no offense to seattle out there!!)

  • Would you want rabid David Bowie fans coming to Morrissey-Solo typing BOWIEBOWIEBOWIEBOWIE in every post just because Morrissey called him un-relevant? Morrissey doesn't need our defense, and we don't need to encourage others with our bad behavior elsewhere.

  • ...crikey, I thought it may never happen, but with all the great press Morrissey has received this year, it was only a matter of time before someone would buck the trend in an attempt to be'different'.Still, everyone has their right to an opinion.Personally, the bigger the backlash the better,perhaps there'll be some smaller shows and less feet shuffling during b-sides.

  • No one pay attention to him, he's full of sour grapes as are most of these low level have beens that do not know when to bow out gracefully. If Moore gets in the top ten again it would be shortlived and booted out by scissor sister or spears next single. Warm regards to all from Moz Angeles,

  • God, some of you are so overly sensitive.

    So every time someone pokes a little fun at Morrissey on a message board we're supposed to storm over there and make asses of ourselves harassing them?

    Count me out.

    By the way, the Jesus & Mary Chain was one of the best bands ever.

  • Well, Mr John Moore, I do not know who you are. I do not know what the half awake forum is, and I do not really care a great deal about you. If you have said anything inflammatory about Morrissey (which it would appear you have) then common sense is not so common, and you simply convey the frustrations of the massively stupid.

  • I was introduced to John Moore once at a Libertines gig in London- I told him how much I loved JAMC, but the only thing he said in response was that he thought I looked like the token "indie" guy who was on Fame Academy (crap reality TV music show in England) a few years ago (hopefully someone will remember the guy, the really annoying idiot with stupid hair!)- pretty insulting, especially as he said it in a voice completely devoid of irony or humour. He actually meant it and I suspect meant it to annoy me as well! Neeldess to say I didn't talk to the miserable fool after.

    So the moral of the story is, I don't mind when people express a negative view of Morrissey- I may not agree with it but still, everyone's aloud to voice their opinion.

    But in this case, I know that the person in question is a bitter nobody, and I actually like to see the man slagged off! He really is a chump.
