    New bands of Smiths-like promise

    There's never going to be another band like the Smiths

    Johnny Marr new single "Hi Hello" calls back to 'instinctive sensibilities with its jangly guitars'

    But to hear the intro and the music of Bigmouth, How soon is now and Headmaster live is MONSTROUS. Would have been so great if he'd played Stop me if... and This Charming man, two of his guitar masterpieces...

    Johnny Marr new single "Hi Hello" calls back to 'instinctive sensibilities with its jangly guitars'

    Thank you. It also reminded me of my recent trip to Rome. Lots of great ruins of the Roman Empire, very beautiful. But the ancient Romans are long gone. I am too young to have seen the Smiths live and I only REALLY got into them about six years ago, but they're my favourite band since then. At...

    Johnny Marr new single "Hi Hello" calls back to 'instinctive sensibilities with its jangly guitars'

    Saw Johnny live in Amsterdam yesterday. So great to hear the original guitar parts of Bigmouth, How soon is now, Headmaster Ritual, Please please please, Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me, There is a light.... his guitar ability is not diminished at all. Strange to hear him sing...

    Johnny Marr new single "Hi Hello" calls back to 'instinctive sensibilities with its jangly guitars'

    Scary. Like a time machine back to 86/87. Johnny's still got it, and for me this feels closer to The Smiths than Morrissey has sounded since... Viva Hate? I know it ain't gonna happen someday, but when I hear this, I'll forever keep hoping for a Morrissey/Marr/Rourke reunion. Imagine Morrissey...

    Back On The Chain Gang - Morrissey Central; Recorded in LA, musicians credited, Chiccarelli produced

    Agree with the above anonymous post that Morrissey is not musically adventurous. That's his trademark and supposedly one of the reasons Marr left the Smiths. He was interested in new musical adventures that Morrissey would never welcome to the band. Apart from this, Marr's work after the Smiths...

    Should Billy Budd have been a single?

    'Why don't you find out for yourself' would have made a good single.

    Was Morrissey right to turn down the opportunity to reform the Smiths in 2008 (with Marr and Rourke)

    Of course 'Everyday' is musically less complex and more straightforward than most Smiths songs, but musically it works very well, everything in its right place, it sounds great and the lyrics are very accessible and relatable compared to many Smiths songs. And there is a chorus that -almost-...

    Was Morrissey right to turn down the opportunity to reform the Smiths in 2008 (with Marr and Rourke)

    Composition-wise, Everyday is like sunday is one of Morrissey's best songs, including The Smiths. An evergreen. More commercial and relatable for the public at large than anything he did with The Smiths. To me, Everyday and Suedehead seem like a special no man's land between The Smiths and his...

    Was Morrissey right to turn down the opportunity to reform the Smiths in 2008 (with Marr and Rourke)

    The chemistry is that they are both unique at their respective art. Listen to the compositions of 'This charming man', 'How soon is now', 'The headmaster ritual', 'Stop me if you think...', 'William it was really nothing', 'Heaven knows I'm miserable now', 'Still ill' and 'Bigmouth strikes...

    Was Morrissey right to turn down the opportunity to reform the Smiths in 2008 (with Marr and Rourke)

    According to what Johnny said, to him it appeared intentions were serious. A follow up meeting was planned and specifics were discussed (no Joyce, understandably). We'll probably never know. I wish they'd follow it up. I am not of the 'don't tarnish the perfect memory' camp. I don't care about...

    Was Morrissey right to turn down the opportunity to reform the Smiths in 2008 (with Marr and Rourke)

    In his autobiography, Morrissey states something like 'years later, Johnny clamors for a comeback.' And then Morrissey proceeds that Johnny should have known that his behavior around the lawsuit should have repercussions for the future, or something in that vein. I think that Morrissey just...

    TTY: The Queen Is Dead

    Just Wow! He is thanking Stephen Street and The Smiths! The Smiths, who he said are 'dead'. The Smiths, of whom his arch enemy Mike Joyce is a member. Has he ever made such a nice remark on The Smiths during the last ten years? Such a little thing makes such a big difference...

    "Kiss Me A Lot" = a smash hit that never was

    Sorry to be negative, but Morrissey is pretty far from making smash hits right now, miles away from his creative and commercial peak, and to my ears the song is mediocre musically and weak lyrically compared to top Morrissey, let alone top Smiths, so this is definitely no smash hit in my ears.

    TTY: Morrissey Far East; pushed back until a time when there is a new recording

    Re: no Moz live dates - TTY I know it might not be an inspiring and ever-incurring comment................................................................... the only thing that could make it all very interesting again, would be getting back together with Johnny Marr. I don't buy all this...

    TTY: Morrissey Mayor of London?

    Love the 'hateful online creche' remark. Morrissey should write a tune with that title. There are many serious Morrissey fans here, but the site is inundated with many hateful trolls, like Benny the British Butcher and some other weirdos who seem to get a kick out of wasting their precious hours...
