my dreams have come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!! morrissey @ the hollywood bowl. i can't wait!

So tickets aren't on sale next week afterall?

Hollywood Bowl? Hopefully they will take the box seats out of the pool circle this time. And do you know how hard it was to jump that damn retaining wall they have to seperate the pool from the garden boxes?

I'm aching to see Morrissey in a standing venue like the Aragon Ballroom again. He has to play at least a few, right?

Why the hell is it now within 2 weeks?She just mentioned a few days ago they'd go on sale on March 17th...

How I wish he were doing a stint at the Apollo again, the staff at that place were the loveliest people ever.

What the...?

Surely the theater at Madison Square Garden? Not the main space.

If it was a one-off date, you'd have thought that he might have a decent stab at selling out the main space - but on a tour with 40 dates, no chance surely.

The Hollywood Bowl date is less surprising because we all know about the legendary level of support for Morrissey down in the Los Angeles area.

Hey, good stuff Moz! Play L.A, which is famous for people in fur coats, New York City and such places as Oxford, UK which houses the UK's largest animal testing lab but please, stay away from those horrible, nafarious Canadians! Lord knows they're nothing but trouble. Go back to Turkey (where you were last year and a country with no animal rights whatsoever, or to Spain again and watch the running of the bulls but do stay away from those evil Canadians! Way to pick a boycott Moz.

Moz should employ the LA Philharmonic to back him up at the Bowl. To my knowledge, he has never played a show with a full orchestra before. It would be fantastic!

You must admit the Canadians have a point about the Mozz boycott of Canada being unfair...especially considering the tour stops in places that dont care too much for animal rights themselves.I too would be pissed off If I was Canadian....although I would be just as pissed off at having eight feet of snow in the front yard,being attacked by Grizzly bears and having Bryan Adams on the radio every third song.

Morrissey playing the big arena again after all of these years!? He hasnt played Madison Sq Garden since those crazy Kill Uncle/Your Arsenal days. God bless him and I hope he fills it up. Ill be there...I just hope 15,000 other souls will be there too. Morrissey deserves a sell out. Oasis managed to sell out the big arena in '05 and their last album sold about as much as Quarry did in the states so it is possible since they both have very big fanbases in NYC. Im just wondering if he will have a really big support act to help sell some of those tickets.

I know I may be hanged for saying this, but I would LIKE the idea of Morrissey giving a show at Madison Square Garden, and not in the theater at Madison Square Garden. First, the Theater is an AWFUL venue, charmless, uncomfortable, HORRIBLE sound, and there are many more suitable mid-sized venues around NYC at which he could play.

But, I think that a LEGEND such as Morrissey has earned the right to play a huge room, if only for one night, in the US. Imagine 20,000 Morrissey fans strong! I saw Depeche Mode at Madison Square Garden, with a huge crowd and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Let Moz grace the big room once, and walk the same stage as Jagger, Bono, and the Ghallagers. THEN, play a couple of smaller venue shows in New York to make up the difference.

Has anybody heard ANYTHING about dates in the SF Bay area?

I think Mozzer could sell out or at least do well if he plays the big hall at Madison Sq Garden as long as this is his only New York show.It won't be a total embarrassment, as some are suggesting.

In '04 Morrissey did

5 sell out nights at the apollo (capacity 1,475)
2 nights at Radio City (capacity 6,013) at about 90 percent sold
1 sell out at Asbury Park Paramount Theater (capacity 1,600)

Now even if Morrissey didnt sell out Radio City both nights HE STILL SOLD just about 20,000 tickets in the new york/new jersey area on his last tour.

Most end stage concerts at Madison Square Garden are usually btw 16,000 OR 17,000 capacity since not every seat is sold in the building.

Is it possible for Morrissey to sell out the Garden?
YES

Is it likely that he will?
  I have my doubts but im sure it wont be an embarresment! I think if Morrissey has a good opener or a special guest for the night this will boost ticket sales as well! We'll see but i'd love to see it happen!

This is a very special day for me too!!!

Awesome :>)

You Yanks can have Morrissey for the whole of 2007, so long as we Brits can have Wilco for a little while.
They're playing one date in England but eight in Germany on their next tour. Now I know how the Canadians feel!

Under the Important Stuff it mentions Inflammatory, Inappropriate, Illegal or Offensive comments might be moderated. I guess might is the key word. Since when is threatening to rape and kill somebody not any of the above???? Who is moderating the moderators? Stop worrying about people having caps on their posts and get rid of this vile hatred. Don't be surprised if one of these days there isn't a lawsuit on your hands. A start might be to not allow people to use "anonymous" as a sign on. It's not much but it would be something.

Does anyone know what the song list is for Morrissey's tour?

Your posts consistently make me laugh out loud

'Just Piss Off - on behalf of most people who read this site'.

Ok, maybe with the exception of the Moderators :-)

I hope to Christ Morrissey doesn't ever read the more demented postings on this site. They might drive him to suicide in sheer despair at the depraved rantings of maniacs like you, Mr Anonymous. It depresses me that you were presumably once an innocent child. What went wrong?

Please keep your tormented gibberings to yourself and your doctor.

Oh Jesus, another raving lunatic. Is it a full moon?

Why hasn't this been removed??

shame..

One hopes you get Cancer. Sincerely.

You are evil beyond belief. You should be in jail or (to be charitable) a top-security mental institution. Go to Hell.

You sick tosser. What form of mental illness do you actually suffer from, or are they too numerous to list?

And, at the risk of getting yet another -1, why is this stuff not removed by the moderators? Is it even legal to keep this kind of threatening nastiness on the site, not to mention people's addresses?
Christ...

Up to now these posts were only saddenig & sickening - but this one is frightening, it made me feel physically ill.
Is that what you´re trying to achieve, ANONYMOUS?! To make people feel ill, disgusted & desperate at the sight of such sickness & evil?! Probably yes & congratulations to you, you´ve made it.
I can only hope that you´re not serious about any of the above stated. But are you aware that there are people who might take it seriously & who might even follow your invitation? Please show some responsibility & post a clear statement that the above post was supposed to be a joke. & before you post next time, think about what you´re doing. Please. It´s one thing to write a revolting comment & another to invite people to commit a crime.
& if you actually are serious about the planned crime, then you can be sure that God is NOT on your side - you can only hope that he will have mercy on your soul.

Why is this depraved crap still up?? Hang your heads in shame, those of you who run this site.
