pippadoll Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Morrissey, truly talented, but seems to have lost the plot a little in his old age. The Smiths have to be one of the best bands of all time. Enjoy your gig next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshop_las Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 ahhh the morrissey of today is different yet still affects me in similar ways- i think the man is a true living genius.I agree with you on the smiths - we need to have a star and grater style night (this brill pub in manchester) .

angenlina Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 we're off to the dome too and can hardly wait. Not seen him since city hall last year. Dome is a great venue too.Saw him there in ?1990 on the kill Uncle tour and got crushed under a pile of sweaty rockabilly types There's something quite amazing about moz, he's such an icon and even a neutral at a gig should have to admit his amazing stage presence There used to be a smiths/morrissey/marr night at the leadmill years ago xXangenlinaXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshop_las Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 iv got to admit i really think sheffield should have one - manchesters got several , londons just got too many . I'd bloody love it . i might put a request into leadmill staff tomorra when i go . im still unsure on what time i should turn up to queue for finale night but getting to the front is guna be a nioghtmare since the 6 day passers have priority .

MuteWitness Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 How you getting to the gigs? I was thinking train but it means staying over and it ins't cheap so I was thinking i might take the car if i find a few people who want to join me. I'm going to Monday/Sunday in London, Doncaster and Edinburgh and probably Sunderland if I can get a ticket nearer the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never was good back then, and if you were back then, the only bands out of Manchester that got some respect were The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and 808 State.... unless you had a grant, lived in a bed sit with "meat is murder" posters on your wall and claimed you where a student. Can not belive this guy has snowballed in to the god like status he has now. p.s. - it was Jonny Marr who made the Smiths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Morrissey - what a racist right wing tosser. Never was good back then, and if you were back then, the only bands out of Manchester that got some respect were The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and 808 State.... unless you had a grant, lived in a bed sit with "meat is murder" posters on your wall and claimed you where a student. Can not belive this guy has snowballed in to the god like status he has now. p.s. - it was Jonny Marr who made the Smiths. Are you serious? I am of a right wing leaning and yet loved the Smiths and still admire Morrissey. IMO, all the guy's done recently is talk about something which is probably bothering the silent majority regarding the changing fabric of this country (and the speed with which it is changing). The word 'racist' gets bandied around like some 'look-at-me' referee brandishing a red card. It is used to stifle debate about a very important issue. If being concerned about the rate at which this country is changing, the 350+ different languages spoken in London's primary schools and (IIRC) one in five London schools where English is no longer the first language makes me a racist (and makes the loopy lefties happy to have waved their 'red card' at me) then so be it. As for the Marr comment making the Smiths, I suppose he (Marr) also made Electronica. So by the same token, remove Bernard Sumner from Electronica and what have you got? Morrissey was the McCartney to Marr's Lennon. Admittedly a wicked guitarist, the shimmering arpegios of Marr's playing was the perfect backdrop to Morrissey's grey-skies-and-concrete lyrics. The Smiths were THE group of the eighties. The Stone Roses were embarrassing imitations by comparison. The difference being that Morrissey moved on when the time was up; The Stone Roses went on like the Rolling Stones treading the same tired path with their mediocre fayre.
