Mikey and his trumpet!

Had a great time at the G-Mex gig last night but quite astonished at the ubiquity of Mr Farrell's trumpet!

It now appears that trumpet solos have become part of First of the Gang (the middle eight), I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero (intro), Let Me Kiss You (outro) and even the previously poignant outro of Please Please Please. Is nothing sacred?!!

Whoever comes up with the arrangements for the live songs must have decided that any strong instrumental melody lines, wherever they appear in a song, should have the full trumpet treatment!

Where will it end? Which other bits of Morrissey/Smiths songs do we feel would benefit from Mikey's trumpet? How about the intro to This Charming Man?!

Indeed...... the boy with the horn by his side

LOL!!

I don't mind having trumpet on some songs.
We don't know how long Mikey will continue to work with Morrissey and it's OK to have some new arrangement for old songs for a change.;)
 
I don't think he has much talent for the trumpet/trombone at all IMHO. Very bad intonation I think.
