The Smiths/Morrissey

It was yeah. My main issues with him are a) He may have ripped off one of my blog posts and b) his hair.

[ShaunBrilldream]

Oh, and C) offering to take the whole forum outside for a pagga. The daft bugger.

O RLY?

"There is absolutely no way that we can generate any interest from record labels in the United Kingdom, therefore the imminent two nights at Hammersmith are likely to be our final ever UK shows. We are obsessively grateful for all interest and loyalty from our audience ... throughout 28 years ... but without new releases, there is no point in any additional touring. Thank you for so many absolutely incredible times. The pleasure and privilege is mine

Plymouth show was half empty, apparently. But then when you've done two tours in six months and charged £50 a ticket, what do you expect?

[DoNotDisconnect]

I'm certain that there are hundreds of small Indie labels that would jump at the chance to put out even the most dismal and unmarketable tripe by Morrissey. He's certain not approached House Vs Home about putting anything out.

Am I the only one that absolutley adores The Smiths but I can't get into Morrissey's solo stuff? I've tried I swear.

No, but I haven't tried, I just can't be arsed. It's nice to draw a line under The Smiths and think of that as one perfect thing, if only to excuse everyone from listening through Kill Uncle more than once.

I wish I'd thought of that approach in 1989.

[Big Nose]

The Smiths + Viva Hate. I haven't listened to anything other than that for years.

I used to really like Vauxhall and I, but when I looked through the tracklisting just now I just thought "meh".

The stuff on the first two 12-inch singles of Morrissey's solo career set the bar too high, really, didn't it? I mean the Every Day is Like Sunday one is just perfect. If only he could have kept to those standards.

And, you know, not turned out to be a Ukip-supporting racist turd.

And on that note, Stephen - do shit off.

Giving serious consideration to burning my Smiths records. By which I mean deleting all my Smiths mp3s.

"So I’ll leave you to your slightly questionable ways"... etc.

Never have the words to this song rung truer.

This headline is distinctly overplaying its hand.

I came in here thinking "what has he said now?"

The headline reminds me of all those cable channels claiming a 5 year old programme is new.
