M seems to be thinking about Smiths more and more
He should use these thoughts and put out a companion book to his autobiography. Just on Smiths years
That would be the dogs..
I don't get tribute bands
It kind of creeps me out. The Beatles one was ok but when you get into Bowie and Smiths there is something odd about it. The singers seem to method act their way into a personality disorder. I just don't know why people would rather go to these than, say a Smiths DJ night? .
Surely listening to the actual songs is better? Also, there was an element of singer love you have with M, you can't get that with these tribute bands they never look like M and can't sing like him
I think they actually show how important M is, the backing music is good. Its well copied by these bands but the M part isn't. I just watched the Smyths and the music is good but the M person looked nothing like him, he seems like a ginger minge to me. He kinda looked like Lofty from Eastenders
He seems a nice guy though and I honestly wish them well, if they enjoy what they do and make bank, good luck to em.
I have to say the singer from Via Morrissey is the most pathetic person, you could ever meet, which I have a few times. He looks like a $1 store Spandau Ballet tribute
A load of people asked Ally M from Brighton to be in Smiths/M tribute bands and a manager of quite a big band asked to manage him. He said no. Now I admit he is the image of M, and does give off the M "vibe" but he would never have been able to do the voice, no chance.
Again, it shows just how special M is.A true great.
I think he seems a bit lost these days. Directionless I wouldn't;t be surprised if he deeply regrets not getting back with Johnny when he had the chance. Don't get me wrong, I like the music M has put out since 2008. it just seems he has suddenly realised just how great Smiths were again. Most artists just look forward and try not to hang around in past glories but I think M has been reflecting a lot, and probably thinking "How the feck did it come to this?"
To me, it seems things started to really fecking hit the fan around 2008, maybe none of that would ever have happened if he had joined up with Johnny.
He would have moved from his "Quarry " come back, done Ringleaders .. Then could have got back with Johnny and done something special and made millions. Released his autobiography.
He would have been in a different position
Instead, he hangs out with Jesse and gets KY on board. and although the records were good, to some of us anyway. you always thought, he could do better and critically, he really took a tumble.
I just wonder if any of this is running through his noggin.
