Morrissey

[mally]

Manchester, 22nd May

:D

...Anyone else going?

[Neil]

No :(

I love his stuff though

Just need to get tickets for glasto and be sure he's playing...

[Krasnojarsk]

You're going! Lucky you! Morrissey is my favourite artist ever, well Smiths are, but...yeah, you get my point! I saw him in Stockholm in 2002 though...bloody class. Is this thread for Smiths too? :) *Puts on Meat is Murder*

[slightly bemused]

Meeeee....would.

Unfortunately I'm too far.

In fact I hadn't even listened to his stuff till some weeks ago, and it's good stuff just like The Smiths.

Hope you enjoy...I'm sure I don't really need to say it :)

Wow, that must have been amazing! And, yep, Smiths... Morrissey.... <3

[Krasnojarsk]

Yeah, best night of my life, we sat in the top row though (hockey arena) very far away, but it was still magic...'There's a light...' in the end :)

[mally]

Jonny (who i'm going with) was telling me this morning about how he often performs a few Smiths tracks, and that that was one he included alot! *is excited*
We're going to be quite far back: it's at MEN, which is heeeuuuuuuuge-a.

[Krasnojarsk]

Yeah, I think he always does Smiths material...but his own really comes to life live...drool... :) Meat is murder is really powerful, like a wall of sound. And the way he's carried on to stage at first...ahh...like a Messiah :)

I heard Marr played an acoustic version of Bigmouth when the electricity went out at some of his own gigs...now that I would like to see :)

Really happy for you :)

O_O
..Wow...

I don't think I could be looking forward to it anymore right now! :D

[Krasnojarsk]

Who's the warm-up?

[mally]

Who's the warm-up?

Damien Dempsey (who i have never heard of before... Intriguing.) and Franz Ferdinand

[Krasnojarsk]

Ooh two acts, tension builder! :) Lucky bastards though.

Oh, remember to be there early to listen to the music they play beforehand, Brigitte Bardot and others.

Really?! This is just getting cooler and cooler... :D

[Krasnojarsk]

Oh. Yes. :) Well, it's probably going to be even cooler seeing it's the first gig after the new album, first gig of the tour an'all. (This is a little tour right? Or will he just play Manchester?)

'La la la beubbel beubbel geum' :D

[mally]

'La la la beubbel beubbel geum' :D

Hehehe.
He's doing about 5 nights worth of touring in LA, but only one in England.
Which makes it even more of an occasion! Plus, Manchester's his home town and it will be his birthday.

[Krasnojarsk]

Oooh birthday, get'm something nice, a box of gladiolus' or sumet :D Are you from Manchester, or are you travelling?

And I forgot to get a T-shirt in Stockholm! :'(

*My GOD I'm jealous* :'(

[mally]

*My GOD I'm jealous* :'(

I live in Liverpool, but it's not too far on the train. I don't think I'll have enough money for merchandise... I'm rather poor after purchasing the tickets. :rolleyes:

[Krasnojarsk]

Ah, pretty close then, that's good. :)

At least outside the gig here there were people selling like rip off T-shirts...tis much cooler...and cheaper :)

[mally]

Yeah! Hopefully, they'll have some nice ones in May... I do like my memorabilia. *is lame*

[Velouria]

* salutes The Moz *

I'm not going, being a soft southerner, but I wish I was. I am really looking forward to the new album in May.

[Krasnojarsk]

Oh another Moz fan, great. Was beginning to think we were alone :)

[Velouria]

Oh another Moz fan, great. Was beginning to think we were alone :)

Superfuzz should be along soon...

[Krasnojarsk]

Ooh nice *claps hands in anticipation* :)

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

I'm going. I'm taking my mate down as it's his 27 birthday the day after.

I've seen him twice before and he's played Smiths' songs both times, if my memory serves me correctly I've seen him play There Is a Light, Suffer Little Children, Meat Is Murder, Hand In Glove, Cemetry Gates and Rusholme Ruffians. He dominates live and his material is soooo much better live than on record.

Go Moz.

[Krasnojarsk]

Rusholme and Suffer! That's class!

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

He's banned meat vendors from the gig as well, go Moz.

I've just seen the tracklisting for his new album and I have three live versions of songs that are going to be on it, so I'll upload them to Kazaa on monday for any one that wats to here them.

These three

’Irish Blood, English Heart’
’The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores’
’The First Of The Gang To Die’

O, i wish i had Kazaa... I'll have to get Jonny to get them for me. :D

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

O, i wish i had Kazaa... I'll have to get Jonny to get them for me. :D

I'm only on through the day or once I've but them on I can probably split them and e-mail them if necessary. But Velouria first as I promised her ages ago.

Sounds cool... Thanks! :)

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Sounds cool... Thanks! :)

There's nothing like Morrissey, I wouldn't want to deprieve anyone. Plus there's only 3 of us.

[mally]

Whereabouts are you sitting, Superfuzz? Or are you standing?

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Whereabouts are you sitting, Superfuzz? Or are you standing?

I'm not sure I haven't checked where I'm sitting yet but I'm gonna try and swap them for standing if I can, not holding my breathe though.

[MassiveEgo]

This Man is a Living Legend

I have 7 of his solo albums and 7 smiths albums (when my loan comes through I will complete the lot of both)

New single is outstanding (Irish Blood, English Heart)

I saw him at Birmingham Academy 18 months ago, he is a genius! Missed out on Glasto tickets so I'm only seeing him at MEN (frickin' seated!) and Reading...

I'm taking lots of money to MEN to but cheap shit outside... mmmm Mozz posters!

"Alma Matters in mind... body and souuul" I love him

*EDIT* my signature doesn't seem to work... and it's Morrissey-ish!

x joe x

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Right, I have the CD with me today so what is the best format to burn them to my hard drive in and waht's the best way to get them to everyone?

I don't actually have Kazaa anymore, I have Soulseek or if someone can tell me how to upload them to a site I'll do that. Suggest away.

[Krasnojarsk]

Can listening to Viva Hate too much kill you? I feel all funny inside when I hear the refrain of 'Bengali in Platforms'...but it's oh so nice!

Hmm, made a Smiths/Morrissey compilation for a friend of mine (and me), and since I've got nothing better to do, I'll post the songlist here... :rolleyes:

Alsatian Cousin
Little Man, What Now
Handsome Devil
Paint A Vulgar Picture
Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference
Still Ill
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Hold On To Your Friends
Hairdresser On Fire
Girlfriend In A Coma
Bengali In Platforms
Spring-Heeled Jim
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Dial-A-Cliché
This Charming Man
Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself
Speedway
Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want
There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
I've Changed My Plea To Guilty

Listening right now, the best compilation I've heard in a very long time to be honest :D Yer, I know, it's a bit blasphemic to make CD's like this with such great band(s)...well, well! :D

[MassiveEgo]

Someone with Morrissey knowledge... hurrah!

I got tickets to see him at Move too... that's 3 times this summer confirmed so far!

Whoop!

x joe x

[Krasnojarsk]

...bastard... :D

[MassiveEgo]

It does mean I have to go to Manchester twice... urgh!

[Neil]

I have a few more new mozza songs I believe...

I have forgiven jesus
All the lazy dykes

But although it does sound alot like morrissey, I'm not sure...

Can he speak spanish?

[MassiveEgo]

I don't know... but he definately can't speak French...

:D

[mally]

Did anyone bother buying this week's issue of NME? Apparently, they've just stretched a short interview out for two issues... Hmph.

Superfuzz: I don't know how to upload tracks onto a site, and I don't have soulseek. :(

[MassiveEgo]

I got the first one... he's on the cover... *jizz*

It's not the best interview, bad questioning really... but hey!

I will be buying part 2 aswell...

Hahahahh. Yeah, I noticed that they'd adorned it with his face alone.
P R I V I L E D G E.

[TisWas]

I can't stand Morrissey, but ironicaly i think him playing at Move is the best thing ever. Can't think of a better way to annoy the United fans during the summer.

[MassiveEgo]

under the NME it also said 'New Mozza Express' instead of Musical...

not seen an NME with only one person one the front in a long time... noone else mentioned or anything (not paid for the NME is fookin ages either)

GENIUS

You've not bought it in a long time then.

[mally]

NO WAY!
O, That's fucking taking the piss...





I love it! I'm purchasing it tomorrow.

[mally]

Heheh.

I just like the fact that he's back in Manchester rather than cowering in L.A. But I like your way of thinking. :D

[MassiveEgo]

You've not bought it in a long time then.

why would I? it's shite... just flick through it in a shop.... gravy

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Someone tell me how to upload these songs, please.

[mally]

Someone tell me how to upload these songs, please.

I'm copy and pasting this from a site where I asked for help:

You need some sort of a webspace that will allow you to upload mp3's and suchlike without thinking you're distrubuting things illegally, or you need to buy you're own webspace, hence what Ste did. Since he uploads all his stuff onto the fakediy or thisisfakediy webspace which he has payed for.

So.. look around for some free webspace hosting and try to upload it there and check if theres any terms and conditions saying no mp3s etc.

A lot of effort. :mad:

[Neil]

If you have soulseek just shove them in the folder you download stuff to, theres some new morrissey stuff on that anyway

Can you send them via MSN or owt?

[TisWas]

Then in that case you would know that alot of NME covers have one person on it.

[MassiveEgo]

it mentioned noone else... alll is said was morrissey at the bottom...

stop being so pedantic

[mally]

Then in that case you would know that alot of NME covers have one person on it.

MassiveEgo means that there was just a picture of Morrissey: no border around it mentioning the various other articles inside i.e. NME really pulled the stops out in order to get back in his good books. :rolleyes:

[MassiveEgo]

he knew... he was just being a pedantic FUCK... but hey,,, :LOL:

[TisWas]

it mentioned noone else... alll is said was morrissey at the bottom...

They've done that before.

Stop thinking he's so special.

[TisWas]

Exactly.

So it's no big deal.

He is.

[MassiveEgo]

I'm seeing him at MEN on the 22nd May Old Trafford on the 11th of July (i think,.. could be june) when he closes the Move festival... and at Reading... and if he ever comfirms any performances at the meltdown fest too...

Those are all the dates he plays in the UK... apart from glastonbury, which i couldn't get a ticket for... tsk

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Anyone see Jonathan Ross on Friday? Interview with Moz and performances of Irish Blood, English Heart and Everyday is Like Sunday.

[mally]

I wish I had a TV...

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

I wish I had a TV...

If it's any consolation the interview was crud.

[mally]

If it's any consolation the interview was crud.

I heard the performance of 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' was good though?

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Do you want me to answer that honestly?

[mally]

Do you want me to answer that honestly?

It was awesome, even if he was a bit 'static'.

Number 3, whoOp!

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

It's going to be the best weekend EVER.

Number 3, whoOp!

It's my best mates Birthday on Sunday and then he's dragging me to see Less Than Jake on Monday. But I'm going to see Mudhoney on the 30th, so it could be the best week ever.

I'm seeing Graham Coxon on the Friday, which also happens to be a friend's birthday so they'll be a huge party later. Plus, I'm staying in a 4-star hotel after the gig which will make a huuuuge change from my squeaky tiny uni bed.

Busy weekends for all. I'll probably sleep in the car.

Are you going out after the gig?

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Are you going out after the gig?

I doubt it. My mate will be absolutley bolloxed by that time. Plus I don't really know Manchester.

[mally]

I doubt it. My mate will be absolutley bolloxed by that time. Plus I don't really know Manchester.

My boyfriend knows Manchester so we're out to get wasted. I don't want to get drunk beforehand incase I don't remember the gig. :rolleyes:

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

My boyfriend knows Manchester so we're out to get wasted. I don't want to get drunk beforehand incase I don't remember the gig. :rolleyes:

That's what i'm telling my mate.

When we went to see him at the Town & Country in Leeds he missed him at the Bar 'cause he was chatting some birds up.
Me -"Dave, look behin...."
Dave - "Shut up."
Me - "No really, Dave."
Dave - "I said shut up."
*grabs daves head and turns him round to see Morrissey wandering off*
Dave - "Why the fuck didn't you tell me?"
*dave runs off to try and catch moz, but narrowly fails*
Dave - "Fucking dickhead"

[mally]

HAahaha. Twit. :LOL:
I don't know if Jonny would have the guts to talk to him if that ever happened to us: he didn't bother to go and talk to Ian McCulloch the other week, and he's another of his heroes.
I'd probably make a fool of myself...

He did get a bit of his shirt after the gig, which he keeps in his wallet to this day.

I had a joint with Josh and Nick from Queens of the Stoneage and spent about half an hour talking about their old bands with them. That was strange.

He lent into the crowd during Dagenham Dave and it was ripped from his back.

I was waiting outside for a taxi having a smoke and chatting to this guy who'd also gone to the gig when Nick walks out for a joint. I went over and started talking and he invited us back in so we sat talking to him and Josh about Kyuss and the Dwarves while getting stoned.

[Velouria]

It was awesome, even if he was a bit 'static'.

It was brilliant, I squealed a bit when he played it, as it's my favourite song of his. :o

[ok_computer]

I visit the Morissey release party in Berlin last saturday, nice!! :D

[eager beaver]

I went to see Morrissey back in 1993 at Sheffield City Hall (which is now closed for a make over) and I got pushed over, well I am only 5" tall so I had to go and sit down and watch and my friend cut her finger when Mozza threw his tamborine into the crowd and she didn't manage to keep hold of it!

[mally]

Is it worth the extra money?

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

TOMORROW!!!!111!!!ONE>

Anyone else wetting their pants with excitment.

[mally]

I would be if I were wearing pants. :o

YEEEEEES! Just got my album in the mail...with DVD...but, I'm going to play it cool...take a shower, put on a nice shirt, go down in lotus position...bla bla bla...then listen to it over and over and over...my sister's been telling me about the greatness of this album for days, and finally it's arrived!

Speaking of that, hell with rituals, I've been walking around with a foolish smile on my face, I even laughed out loud because the album is so ridiculously great!! Resisted the urge to download it, so this is the virgin spin... :)

Hee hee hee I'm so happy! :)

[mally]

Mostly good... but I also want 'Speedway', 'Suedehead', 'The Last Of The International Playboys' and 'I Don't Mind If You Forget Me', so he should play that set just with an additional encore. :cool:

[Krasnojarsk]

Yeah, Speedway is amazing live! Meat is murder as well, he should play that...
Bengali in Platforms would be really nice! :)

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Mostly good... but I also want 'Speedway', 'Suedehead', 'The Last Of The International Playboys' and 'I Don't Mind If You Forget Me', so he should play that set just with an additional encore. :cool:

He should play Cemetry Gates or Ask as well.

[mally]

He should play Cemetry Gates or Ask as well.

DEFINITELY! :eek:

[Krasnojarsk]

Yeah he really should , but Cemetry Gates isn't really the same without all that wonderful, heavenly guitar work (oh now I'm just boring :D )

[Pajoon]

He should play Cemetry Gates as well.

Would it be dim of me to assume that that's a cover of the Pantera song?

[Krasnojarsk]

Yes it would be quite dim :)

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

I'll be the first then.

WOW.

[Drunk muser]

i love moz!! he's perhaps the most influental artist of our time!!

[mally]

WOW.

I wholeheartedly agree. :D

Where abouts were you sitting? I loved how he'd always attempt to touch the hand of people being taken out by the guards and that he listened so avidly to the audience! He was just as funny as I hoped he'd be yet, in all, the whole thing was far better than I even expected.

[Velouria]

This has made me look forward to seeing him at Reading even more now. :D

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

I wholeheartedly agree. :D

2 of us where sat in the upper tier to the right hand side of the stage, dunno about everyone else.

We where the only people around us to stand up and dance. 'Twas great fun.

"It's great to be back in the charts with such luminary acts as Frankee and Eamon."

[mally]

Aaah... we were lower tier, left to the stage.

I liked it when he introduced 'The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores' by talking about Britney Spears, and when he was jesting about his age: "I can't believe I'm 29." and "You've made a happy man very old."

"Where have the years gone? Why have the years gone?"

[mally]

"Where have the years gone? Why have the years gone?"

HEheh, yep.

My only gripe is that I wanted more than a one song encore... although 'There Is A Light...' was so beautiful.

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

HEheh, yep.

My only gripe is that I wanted more than a one song encore... although 'There Is A Light...' was so beautiful.

Did you hear about his aftershow party? Cheapest I could find a ticket was £70, but I only had £50 left on me.

[mally]

Did you hear about his aftershow party? Cheapest I could find a ticket was £70, but I only had £50 left on me.

Yeah: we considered getting tickets a week or so before, but decided not to. Did you hear if it was any good?

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

Yeah: we considered getting tickets a week or so before, but decided not to. Did you hear if it was any good?

Dunno. We pissed off to the Train Station.

I bought You are the Quarry today.. *is in love with it*

[Krasnojarsk]

Lucky sods, all of ya :rolleyes: And he played Such a little thing...I love it so much!

Yeah, You are the quarry is unbelievable...can't stop listening to it
I've heard Moz is coming to the Hultsfred festival in Sweden on the 19th June...and I can't go!! :'( He recently said to a Swedish newspaper that he's going to do something special for his fans here since the album's selling so well...hope they'll send it on TV later...

*Goes off to listen to Quarry* Aaah. That's better. :D

several turds are now on thier way to your house,well see whos laughing after that

[Chaos Is Me!]

I don't get it, if you would've linked everyone to a porn site it would've been funny, but you told everyone before they even got to the link, plus you can see its morrisey by hovering your cursor above the thread.

What a waste of database space.

[xPalehorse20]

I'm going. I'm taking my mate down as it's his 27 birthday the day after.

I've seen him twice before and he's played Smiths' songs both times, if my memory serves me correctly I've seen him play There Is a Light, Suffer Little Children, Meat Is Murder, Hand In Glove, Cemetry Gates and Rusholme Ruffians. He dominates live and his material is soooo much better live than on record.

Go Moz.



your lying

[xPalehorse20]

Can listening to Viva Hate too much kill you? I feel all funny inside when I hear the refrain of 'Bengali in Platforms'...but it's oh so nice!

Hmm, made a Smiths/Morrissey compilation for a friend of mine (and me), and since I've got nothing better to do, I'll post the songlist here... :rolleyes:

Would it be dim of me to assume that that's a cover of the Pantera song?
The Smiths-Cemetry Gates
Pantera- Cemetary Gates

[xPalehorse20]

In places where there are obviously two people speaking, I have labelled them A and B - I'm not saying these two are the same people in each of the spoken word segments. I haven't tried to represent all the "La la las", or to represent the Cockney accents phonetically. Comments in square brackets are mine, round brackets indicate something I'm not sure about.

A: You know what I seen (?) tonight Rob ?
B: What?
A: [You] know old Georgie Meadows ?
B: Yeah.
A: They're gonna get a team up and go out and do him.
B: Who is ?
A: Smithy !


Spring-heeled Jim winks an eye
He'll "do", he'll never be "done to"
He takes on whoever flew through
"Well, it's the normal thing to do" ... ah ...


B: [Indistinct mumble] Cause old Smithy got one. Tooting Bec was going to come down and have a go at Smithy one of these days, you know how many boys there was at Smithy, least a hundred.

Course, when I used to go round with Jimmy (Butler ?) there was about twelve of us going down (?) Road, and we'd see all these lot, there was a crowd of 'em right at the end of the meat racks, and there was fifty there, and there was, you know [singing starts]

Spring-heeled Jim lives to love
Now kissing with his mouth full
And his eyes on some other fool
So many women
His head should be spinning
Ah, but no !


A: One fellow was in the copper's arms, wasn't he, and the other fellow had the gun, and he was free, and he shot him, but the other fellow that was in the copper's arms got hung, and that kid'll be out when he's about sixteen, won't he ?

Spring-heeled Jim slurs the words :
"There's no need to be so knowing
Take life at five times the
Average speed, like I do"
Until Jim feels the chill
"Oh, where did all the time go ?"


Once always in for the kill
Now it's too cold
And he feels too
old


B: [Indistinct mumble] Cause old Smithy got one.

Tooting Bec...[As before] ... and there was, you know (Thomas Square ?), they had another fifty round there. You know what Smithy looks like, he don't look hard, does he ?
A: No, he looks a queer, don't he ?
B: Yeah.
A: He's seeing some fellow up our street, and he was with his mates and...

A: You know that Craig and (?)
B: Yeah ?
A: One fellow was in the copper's arms ...


A: But say someone came round your house tonight and found your brother and sister in their bed, he's only worried about the prison, he ain't got to worry about them, has he ? [Unclear]
B: What about these people who go round murdering, and they catch them, and they say he's mental ?


Enjoy

Video exclusive 11.05 on Channel 4.

'The brand new video for the single You Have Killed Me features Morrissey as an entrant in the 1970 Eurovision Contest. Along with vintage clothing, the video was filmed with 1970s analogue video cameras.'

[cheesecheesecheese]

I can't believe Morrissey is headlining the V Festival this year!:(

[Meep]

Has anyone got the new album yet? Any good?

[Velouria]

Has anyone got the new album yet? Any good?

I've just listened to it now for the first time. It's pretty good, though not a patch on 'Vauxhall and I', IMO.

He seems to have discovered rumpy pumpy ;) :

"There's a powder keg between my legs"

[Larsen B]

I've heard it and it's pretty good on first impression, except the track where he goes on about his kegs (rather disappointingly, after all I'd heard about it beforehand), as track two it seems to slow up the album stuck in between two rather ace tracks and I'm not sure it fits in to the album at all overall. Maybe repeated listening will change this, I'll find out when I buy it next week probably. :happy:

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

I love it.

Especially Life Is A Pigsty.

[jeremy kyle]

im just back from his gig here,bloody amazing,got a peice of his shirt,and was centre up against the rail,what more could you want.

I was hoping the shirt wouldn't come my way at V :LOL:

It was pretty bad up front for me, as I was competing with a load of 40 year old men just to try and stay on my feet.
Didn't stop it being amazing though ... he played girlfriend in a coma which was really cool. And the new songs sound great, especially life is a pigsty.

my friend went to see him in 05 i think, and she said, half way through beck did an acoustic set, and his band sat down for a meal (on stage) of sheperds pie, and they started playing percussion using the plates and cuttlery towards the end of the acoustic part. :)

Managed to get presale tickets for £20 each, GET IN!
(Anyone interested, just text Morrissey to 2402 with an O2 number to get the code)

Can't wait to see Beck live either, hope there's more awesome acts to follow :happy:.

So anyone seeing him live this summer?

i was gonna go see him in cork,effort of a bus though.And cork is a shithole.

[Valentin_Selezynov]

I like Morrissey a lot, my favourite songs by him are Alsatian Cousin and Life is a Pigsty.

[Meep]

Alsation Cousin is ridiculously good <3

[lyricalwax]

I like his more recent stuff, The First of the Gang to Die, The Youngest was the Most Loved, You Have Killed Me, Irish Blood, That's How People Grow Up, and How Could Anyone Possibly Know How I Feel, to name but a few.

Anyone going to the RAH gig? I'm really annoyed with myself that I missed the chance to buy tickets. Would've loved to see him in an intimate setting but £100 a ticket seems a bit pricey.. :(

[ScarredEyes]

I am seeing Morrissey in concert in Dundee on May 5th, surprised me a little that there were tickets still left.

Though I did read somewhere he has cancelled a few US dates because of voice problems.

He better recover soon, it's the best thing to ever happen to Dundee.

£40 with fees, can I? :'(

Ohmyohmyohmyohmy.

You probably should. You'll kick yourself if you don't risk it.

I'm not exactly flsh either at the moment, but Morrissey is among of the few artists that it's worth paying a tidy bit for.

[Meep]

Dundee tickets are mine :D

Ah well my day just got a lot better.

[ScarredEyes]

I've dreamt about Morrissey far too much recently, so this better be an absolute corker.

He's only played Dundee thrice, if you include the two with The Smiths. Wonder if it'll sell out eventually.

[Meep]

Tickets came this morn. BOO YA.

[Gemsy]

My sis bought a couple for the RAH from some dodgy website. I hope she doesn't get ripped off!

Confession time...

I really like Years Of Refusal, aside from the ghastly artwork. :LOL: I think I prefer Morrissey when he's angry and full of 'raaaaawk' and explains why I like songs like Irish Blood, English Heart. His voice sounds great too, especially on It's Not Your Birthday Anymore.

[Meep]

Confession time...
OI :mad:

[Max]

OI :mad:

:supersad:

I also went back to the one album Aino has - Ringleaders Of The Tormentors...that's more of a mixed bag really.

[Meep]

Max have you heard Alsatian Cousin? http://www.zshare.net/audio/58438539ad7fe094/

I don't know if you'll like it or not but it's quite 'rock' :LOL: It's one of my favourites anyway.

And Disappointed: http://www.zshare.net/audio/58438654c91dc4e9/

Alma Matters is a good one for his singing too, imo: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=9108822

[ScarredEyes]

I thoroughly enjoyed the Dundee concert. Shame Doll and The Kicks didn't really have as much presence as I would have expected. Managed to get very near the front, right in the melee of a fight between local neds. Morrissey loved it.

I'm very much enjoying listen to Southpaw Grammar at the moment - especially Dagenham Dave and The Operation. Also, Your Arsenal, which I think may well be his best early album, Tomorrow and National Front Disco really stand out for me on that, despite the dubious lyrics of the latter.

[Judderman]

oh feck. i wanna see moz again.

[Gemsy]

My sis and bro-in-law got all the way to the Albert Hall and were told it was cancelled 'cause Moz is ill :'(

[Meep]

I almost touched him. It was awesome.

BUT he came on late and I had to leave 30mins early to get the train :'( :'(

Very bitter throughout all of doll and the kicks' incredibly boring set, as every one of their songs was one less morrissey song I could hear :LOL:

I also forgot that let me kiss you is where he rips open his shirt. My mouth has never opened so fast :LOL:

That sucks a bit. Whereabouts were you in the queue, by the way, assuming it was the Dundee concert you ended up going to? I found a copy of the Times Magazine for last Saturday on the train back home to Essex and it had a picture of Guillame the French chap, who was right at the front of the queue, or at least as I remember it.

I quite enjoyed the video installations between DATK and Morrissey coming on, even if he ended up late. I especially enjoyed the snippet of the Shelagh Delaney interview. Plus the whole installation had an otherwordly feel to it. For a moment I pretended I was at the Coming Of The Apocalypse, and Morrissey had chosen what the masses watch before oblivion.

He was looking quite toned, I thought, there was the outline of a six-pack. Hilarious to see so many people fighting over his shirt when he threw it, though.

[Meep]

Haha, that's cute :happy:

I was numberrrrrr 19 in the queue, ish. Barrier bound :awesome: The french guy was quite funny ... in fact I found it funny that every man who was in front of me in the queue seemed to be a slight moz clone.

"A fight in Dundee, what a surprise" or something along those lines :chuckle:

I'm glad the shirt didn't come my way this time. Scary stuff.

I'd liked to have seen 'I'm ok by myself' but I left before then .. seasick was nice though :happy:

I wouldn't have been too far behind you in the queue, then. I reckon I was about Number 25. You're right though.....a couple were wearing deaf-aids and I couldn't tell whether it was a homage to Morrissey or whether they were genuinely deaf.

He loved that fight! Genuine joy upon his face, which doesn't surprise me....he is certainly more of a thug now than 20 years ago.

One of the drumsticks was thrown into the crowd at the end of the gig, and seriously, these two guys were fighting over it for at least 5 minutes, both desperate to come away with it. Didn't hang around to see who won.

An all round brilliant set.....First Of The Gang To Die a lovely encore.

I've really grown to like YOR, and I actually prefer this, Ringleaders and Quarry over his older material. Jealous of all the lucky people who managed to see him on this tour (I can see why he called it Tour of Refusal..).

Morrissey is AMAZING. Unfortunately, I've never seen him live ( I would really love to) but god I love this man.

Meant to have been seeing him two weeks tonight. :stunned:

Adore Morrissey so much! My ambition is to see him live. I think he's also quite *ahem* hot for an older gentleman. :$

I was at the gig as it happened, terrible news despite only doing one song the crowd was awesome and he seemed on form....then that :(. Apparently he's now in a stable condition which is great news although he's unfortunately very sick still. Only managed half a show in Birmingham last night, I think he has some kind of underlying health problems that have yet to become public knowledge. And you know what Chizz could just well be right.

Get well soon Moz!

:(

Thankfully it's not life-threatening or anything and he's in a stable condition. Wouldn't be able to cope if he was diagnosed with some health problem.
Get well soon Moz.

[Girl_Afraid]

Poor Mozzer :(

Hope he's back on form soon :D

[sparkle19]

He's out of hospital now. Great news.

Poor Moz, get well soon.
You do wonder if there is some underlying problem with his health, with all the illness he's had in the last year.

I'll bump this thread :D!

Went on a Morrissey bender today, and bought Your Arsenal, Beethoven Was Deaf, Vauxhall and I and Suedehead.

Your Arsenal and Vauxhall and I are probably amongst his best.
