if he has heard it then that means somebody sent him a copy.
he has gone to morrissey shows during the last tour and they still are friendly, so why is it such a suprise?

How can you have an opinion on something half done?

I find this hard to believe.

Maybe Marr is saying that he heard songs from YATQ as that is the latest release.

he would never say "its quite different" if that were the case, as Quarry is Morrisseys most comercially acceptable record ever-

So if it is true then he has hear ROTT, WHICH IS KINDA INTERESTIN G

Im getting my hopes up for this one

Just these first bits of info about the record sound like it will provoke an extreme reaction from fans and press alike. That Morrissey had to get Vosconti to swear he liked the songs, that they were recording under stressful conditions and considered scrapping everything, that the first producer didn't work out, a children's choir... Marr saying it isn't "his cup."

Better get ready for change in Mozland. I'm a bit worried.

especially since that shitty Healers album that came out recently was one of the biggest pieces of crap I have ever heard. If it was Marr's cup of tea something would be wronmg

Johnny, do you still have any lasting relationships with Morrissey and Bernard Sumner?

A : Still in touch with Bernard Summer quite a lot. In touch with MORRISSEY sometimes.

Would you ever work with Morrissey again?

A: Er...

yada yada yada
blah blah blah

Saw SPM in Rodmell the other week walking around the church next to Virginia Woolf's house. He still visited despite the house being closed.

what's that? yes, i sense a few thousand 'morrissey-and-marr-emerge-from-recording-studio-t ogether' rumours coming on.

It says new songs. So it probably means tracks from Quarry.

Of course Marr couldn't admit he'd heard the whole album as he has to pretend he is indifferent.

As the petty biscuit theif who spun the gaybar sighting on here i will say whether marr & morrissey get back together,
rest assured i have nothing to declare but my nobbys nuts, cough cough

it's always one or the other but it's rarely both

johnny, your move 20 years ago, your words- need to move on, need to be front man, well time is a funny old thing, the the !! you cling onto the smiths, meanwhile mozz cracks on regardless, and just proves, he is manchester finest son, gud lad the mozzer.

...don't let anyone say it!

piss poor, third rate, half witted, humourless rubbish which sound like rejected Charlatans b-sides from 1993, I think we can all thank the Lord!

Johnny Marr has heard the songs because he was one of he musicians there. He thought his work was pretty good but that Alain/Boz/Jesse stuff isn't his cup.

Of course, I don't think this. I just said it because it needed to be said.

I have a track of Marr and Billy Duffy covering "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" from an old NME charity record. Johnny is actually a big fan of Morricone, so I have no doubt Morrissey mailed him a CD of that stuff, knowing he'd want to hear it.

Do they keep in touch? I don't know for sure, but the relationship appears to be a hot & cold thing. They probably need to talk about old Smiths' business, instead of leaving the legacy to those hated lawyers and record executives.

Is it possible that the Anonymous posters who did see it are all the same person?

I think this story could be fake.
