Moz and Marr maybe but not the full line up (Score:0)
It’s not that unlikely. Marr is desperate to return to indie-guitar god status. So much so that he’s recently hooked up with third rate, indie also-rans The Cribs.

The closest we'll probably (and this is still an insane long shot) is a lower key one off Moz-Marr gig for some good cause or other. I'd love to hear such a set, celebrating the past (especially if acoustic), but I'm happy that Moz seems to be content living in the present making music that he wants to - whether we all agree if we love him like we used to or not.

I wouldn't be surprised if Morrissey and Johnny Marr collaborate though, but that would be a different band or simply Morrissey having Johnny featuring in a record.

Like a 10% chance. It would be nothing more than Marr joining Moz and his band on stage for a set of 5-6 songs.

I really cannot see a full blown reunion happening, though I expect Morrissey and Marr to do something in the future just not as The Smiths - more a Anderson-Butler type thing a'la The Tears.

Personally, despite having never seen The Smiths live, I would not like to see them reform. Let the legacy remain untouched.
Frankly, I think there's more chance Paul Weller will reform The Jam.

his new album is coming out, and tourdates for the promotiion which will ofcourse going to see
after th dates down, uk, usa and the main land of europe and especially his be beloved scandinavia [finland,denmark,norway and his favourite sweden, did he ever skip asa solo artist, on all of his touring , scandinavia, never, even his poor 1995/7 europe mainland gigs, he played there,no, not 1995, ha, i already
mentioned a fault in a post while writing.
anyway he's busy, he's gonna be 50 [that maybe the only change he get emotional, and do a gig,
but never with Mike Joyce, he even't speaks his name anymore, he's ' the drummer'or another cynical stab at Mike
but with Johnny and other musicians it would be great, I think Andy might be invited, but refuses, because of his friendship with Mike, well guitarist,bass players and drummers avaible
so that would not be the problem
well I'm just writing again a whole lotta crap, casuse it won't happen ever again
The closest will be when Johhny joins Morrissey
on stage while touring on his own, with the Lads,
more there will not come in the future and the Smiths are dead, even when alls well

2. I can't see that Moz has any reason whatsoever to reform the Smiths. He has all the money he needs (obviously, and as opposed to certain other members of the band).
3. Anything Moz does during a day, including brushing his teeth, would certainly be more interesting to witness than a reunion of The Smiths.
Having said this, I too would love for Johnny to pay a visit to the stage during a Moz gig. They could use a new trumpet player.

Unlikely I know…. Particularly as just three years ago at SXSW '06 he made a big deal about turning down a huge payday to reform the Smiths for a one-off.

The Smiths are Dead (Score:0)
I'm not sure if I'm making my point very clearly or not, but I'm just trying to say that once something is over you can't go back. I love the Smiths but don't have the slightest interest in seeing the four of them on stage together again, and if it did happen (which I don't actually think ever will) it would damage the legacy.
Can anyone think of a reunion that has in any way been a success in anything other than purely financial terms?
