No Gordy, I'm familiar with the name but most of them don't make it to these shores, probably not economically viable. If you can't have a few pints and tears streaming down your face miming along to the songs that saved your life, then what's the point? Nobody left disappointed cos they didn't...
I saw them in Belfast last night, the singer looked more like Jimmy Carr than Moz I thought - they're very good - Reel Around The Fountain, I Know It's Over, Stop Me and Hand in Glove were superb. These Charming Men, an Irish tribute group are far better in my opinion. Regardless, it was a fun...
I doubt it was on Morrissey's to-do list, to nip into the PO after the bakery to arrange a postal order to Brazil?! It's an insurance matter but clearly rules out his touring in that region ever again.
The drink could well be a factor but only something I've noticed about him in fairly recent years - I never read anything about his drinking in The Smiths; on the contrary, he was know to turn in early of a night. Andy recounted a story about him being pissed one night and everyone was laughing...
The 2004 one was far worse - he was very rude to Jools, someone who has supported him since 1992 and welcomed him back regularly. He ducked out of another Jonathan Ross show a while after his awkward comeback appearance. It seems as if he's not in the right 'headspace', everything can be...
Marr's doing very well these days. The suggestion that a Smiths reunion was 'inevitable' was the perception that Johnny had no credible/sustainable post-Smiths career. It's a very different story now, let alone the current woke wave against M - JM wouldn't go near that and why would he...
Seeing Alain, Spencer, Gary and Craig in Belfast was such a treat, especially playing UA tunes like 'Certain People'. No reunion of that sort could ever happen now - BB saw the bigger picture and bowed out with grace. Nothing wrong with the current band, they were great in Dublin/London last...
Oh my, this has a finality about it I feel; who would ever buy another ticket now?!
And no point blaming the band, seems they were rehearsing - the Quarry stuff isn't that challenging for the likes of Gus, Jesse & Cam, all fairly pedestrian riffs to be fair - it's always M's contribution that...
I did state the exception for fans who rarely have the chance to see him. Of course there are gutted fans in NZ/Perth etc. Take the time to read before you leap in sweetheart x
To be perfectly honest, they're not really missing much - 1.5 hours of the same decade(s) old setlist. The absences of Boz/Alain are glaring, which very few will admit. It's clearly a different story when he's visiting the far corners of the globe, as you've maybe never seen him...
