Yeah there’s so many hardcore Johnny Marr fans out there, bedroom walls plastered with his posters, closets full of Johnny Marr shirts, tattoos. bumper stickers etc!! And the crowd at Marr concerts is insane! So many stage invaders just wanting to touch their idol!! Hilarious...
Do you genuinely think that Marr is hankering for a Smiths reunion? I wouldn't go see Morrissey/Marr if they played anywhere more than ten minutes walk from my house. The past is gone.
I think it's interesting that there were heavy rumors on this forum and elsewhere about a Smiths reunion that was supposed to take place this year. I strongly suspect it was all about the (now-cancelled of course) Cruel World Festival in Los Angeles that Morrissey was headlining. Which leads me to believe they couldn't get Marr.
With bands like Bauhaus, Blondie and Devo on the bill, it would have been a coup for Goldenvoice to have the Smiths as headliners.

I used to be here all the time on 2015/2017 back when I loved Morrissey, today I accidentally listened to one of his old songs on the radio and wondered whatever happened to this site and that's the reason I'm here again while taking a bathroom break at work, anyways, I'm sad to see uncleskinny is still here, obsessing over Morrissey, I used to hate him so much but he's right and I was wrong, Morrissey is a racist bitch but he (skinny) still is a looser that's been obsessed for someone for years and years and I kinda pity him tbhCan you take your mind off your seething hatred for Morrissey for just one second? Ever?

Skinny wow you came to see yourself as correct while taking a break from your atari video game.
who you are you playing against? "surface" and "nerak"
Skinny heading towards the facilities so as to post:
I can't keep track of which nutter's which this website - Aztec Camera, Vegan Cro, Uncle Skinny, all their waspish, bizarrely-phrased ramblings sound the same; is it just the same guy using different avatars?
Gosh, do you think that's better or worse than taking other people's records, signing them, then trying to flog them for $300 each?
Artists are volatile. It's sincere & has its own emotional logic though.
I agree but I guess his ambitions changed over time. He must have wanted the spotlight eventually, or else why would he go solo at 50?
Court cases and being questioned by the police intelligence over his Maggie song and his time as a Stretford loner where he sat in the corner of the pub muttering about killing the queen which locals from that era can confirm. There are so many things you could use for a movie about him not least his gay flings and his constant travelling and owning homes in different parts of the world.
Then we have the career of course and him having the most whacky and dedicated fans in the world not to mention his absolute influence on pop culture which popped everywhere as his generations of fans grew up and got a job.
His flirting with controversy in lyrics and interviews makes it hard to choose what to focus on unless you turned his life into a tv series cause a movie would never be enough.
His job as a flesh remover would be the opening of course where the awful sound of it turns into a Marr guitar sound. I also see all the fans who wrote to him about various medical conditions which made him use hearing aid onstage as well as wheelchair and band aid and big fake cuts on his hand to mention a few.
Then we have his personal life story so in the end the people behind it would have to pick and choose what not to use rather than the other way around to avoid making it too long.
Kinda goes without saying but that was not the discussion. Those that dare go against the flow tend to create classics but we will probably never see that again.as a film maker and documentary maker I can assure you no one wants to touch him. Career suicide
They are absurd, but their absurdity gives them an extra value.
Morrissey has signed a LOT of things, so his signature is probably not so worthy (I don't mean that he's not worthy,I mean that if you sign 10,000 things then something that you have signed has a value, but if you have only signed 500 things, then the value is by far higher).
I think the albums by other people signed by him will have a bigger value than other things he signed... once he is dead (which, of course, it is something that will eventually happen)... like an Eddie Cochran album signed by Elvis... It would be funny, thus it has a value.
On Twitter, he is flogging a poorly edited photo of Paul McCartney with his own name on? What the hell?

Now is about survival.
Sam is designing stuff for the Marrs now too?
