He never gave up on the band. The main fulcrum left. Hell, Moz tried to keep it going, but once a band loses its main music generator, it is over. In fact, I'd say Moz has two bones to pick with Marr (& why he won't get together with him, even though Johnny seemed open to it a couple years...
The guy's obsessed with having (& not having) a record label, which is weird, because labels don't have money to promote artists anymore (at least a guy at his level), & all they'd do is take half/three-fourths of the money brought in from sales. I honestly think he was thinking if he did a...
Too bad he then went on an anti-homophobe/anti-racism rant. Seems you prejudged him as well.

Eddie was going on saying he's a Smiths fan. You shouldn't comment on things YOU know nothing about, even when it's presented right in front of you.
Ok! My thought is, the girls COULD be post-op transsexuals. Since typical cheeseball ladies seems so incongruous, that was my thought. And then I thought Moz would want dudes to think they're just cheeseball ladies, and then they'd be attracted to transsexuals, and laughs galore for Moz. His...
Am I missing something? It is objectively crazy to promote an album that no one can buy, correct? Shouldn't he have locked that down before people go to the show, hear the songs, inevitably forget the songs, & then maybe miss when the album DOES come out? (if it ever does) Look, I love that he...

I love how you jokers quote 2 lyrics from Vince Clarke, who left Depeche Mode after one album.
RHCP made the R & R Hall of Fame, an institution The Smiths failed to get into this year (& it was criminal that this site refused to prop voting for them on the fan ballot). If you don't like them that's fine, but they DID have an actual impact on music. And FWIW, Johnny Marr appeared on one of...
Pumpins were psychedelic prog their 1st 2 records, w. the 2nd record shortening a couple songs (which radio grabbed onto). At the height of their fame, dude releases a sprawling double record, then dovetails into straight electronics when Middle America expected rawk. To call SP corporate...
Dumb, Anonymous. It had his highest debut ever at 11. NOBODY sells albums anymore. There has been one million seller (IN TOTAL!) this year & it was Taylor Swift. If you're throwing album sales at Morrissey you willfully have an ax to grind, or you literally don't know the perimeters of the...
Simple bumpkin? As a fan of both sports, it takes A LOT more athletic ability, courage, & most importantly, intelligence to play & scheme American football than football. Period.
It may've been a weird, tiny little dig towards Marr too, a voracious runner. Marr recently when asked Moz/Smiths questions (by press) has been kinda nasty, because 1)it was my read he was open for a Smiths reunion a couple years ago, but Moz quashed it 2)he's now embarking on a long latent solo...
As for those saying Harvest maybe didn't invest in the album---Moz himself says he owns it, which from what I understand, basically means he paid for the masters, i.e., the recording. So yeah, it was basically "Hi Harvest, please use your expertise & money to promote the album please", & when...
Re: Article: Universal says ‘no comment’ on claims Morrissey has been dropped; Warner/Chappell still
Easy on the opinion as stated fact. At least half the reviews of this record call it a banger, & I've seen a veritable ton of positive notices from fans. And unless Morrissey is an out & out...
Re: Article: Universal says ‘no comment’ on claims Morrissey has been dropped; Warner/Chappell still
With due respect, you lose all credibility when you compare album sales. The music industry in 2009 v. today is pretty much nite & day, so while your diagnosis of Moz's career has some merit...
God damn. YOU'RE the idiot who made it a muso debate. My only point was, there are bands out there where the drummer is the 1st or 2nd attraction, Rush being one. That's it, end of story. I compared Mike Joyce to that phenomenon, & found his worth pales to that of Morrissey or Marr.
And if you...
I really can't deal with you anymore. You've shown you have the musical & cultural depth of a wet noodle. If you've not heard more than 5 Rush songs, you simply can't comment, yet you deign yourself worthy to do so. And you're literally the only person in the world who thinks "Rush" = "hippie"...
