Everyone has heard Morrissey's side, about a million times through every outlet available to him. Wonder how FiDo feels about doing his bidding to find out he's been lying this entire time.

I don't think she has an original thought in her head to be honest.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Yes. We believe it 100%.

Industry rule #4080
Record company people are shady.

Believe that cornball.

So how much longer is Morrissey letting this go on? Why not just pay back the amount, delete the Miley vocals, bring in someone else to do it (there are plenty of other great singers!!), and get the album released? Is it so difficult?

 

[Johnnie Ray]

The absolute desperation of this entire situation and his infatuation with Miley Cyrus is creepy, esp the part about 'I don't want to be forced to pretend it didn't take place'/ wtf? He sounds like Humbert Humbert in Lolita, just not as interesting. (or anything as brilliant as Nabokov)

I refer specifically to this ex-manager stepping in and leaking private information. Let the artist have his reply

 

[The Wild Turkey]

There is nothing to settle, they have every right to block their artist being on another release, and a court agrees with them, hence the injunction

The artist makes the art.
The record company handles the business.
Capitol couldn't handle the business.

At least we'll always have this 10 second studio clip of I am Veronica!

It's Der Spiegel all over again.

Morrissey can't handle being told no

 

[The Wild Turkey]

A industry notorious for cheatin' artists and everyone
wants to believe Capitol.

He could have asked his friend Chrissie Hynde. She has a much better voice than Miley Cyrus. Or how about Shirley Manson.

If it was a decision based on talent, than yes. Or how about this idea, don't have another vocal, just like in concert!

 

[Johnnie Ray]

miley's a gross lil piss flap with no neck. after the way she treated sinead, who the f*** wants to listen to her at any point ever?

Someone say no neck? I'm here!

He did have Alain as the vocal a few times and I thought it sounded great, but I do think it works without the vocal too

 

[Mimi Ramone]

There are a lot of sad facts in there.
He thinks Miley wanting to work with him was a special thing. But didn't she sing with a lot of 80ies acts, because she likes them? And wasn't she the girlfriend of his producer at the time (I may be wrong with that timeline, not sure). So it was a great but also convenient opportunity for both of them. But on the other hand it is absolutely not uncommon that featured artists go uncredited for contractual reasons. It's a work around to still do stuff with other artists on other labels. And I think it's totally understandable if Miley didn't want to piss off her record company and management for a nice little feature she did, she has a career of her own after all. Also, why is M still so desperate for a hit single? I mean I understand, everyone wants to have success but he is begging here, like thinking "this is your last chance". Dunno, if he really just can buy it back and he doesn't, he obviously sees no chance to get it out there, so it seems blaming Capitol is his only way out for himself. I have absolutely no idea why he is such a trainwreck. He could do so much better for himself, but he won't. All that potential down the drain That joke really isn't funny anymore

Where do things go from here, now that all the cards are on the table? Will some die-hards do a crowdfunding to repay Morrissey's advance?

 

[Redacted]

I am waiting for an 'article' or 'interview' about this, but he's been spanked so hard, again, I am wondering if he wants to talk about this

Yes, we need a GoFundMe.

Oh yes, let's all believe Mr Reliable who has never produced one shred of evidence supporting his view and who has never ansered a direct question about the whole Capitol fiasco.

According to the emails, it was quite a small advance. Maybe he could pay for it by pawning his Omega luxury watch.

If Morrissey gets his record back, we still wont get to hear it. Well, maybe SER will be instructed to release it upon his death.
